On the sitting of the court this morning, at nine o'clock, Peter Bennett, convicted of rape, and Thomas Joseph O'Connor, eonvicted of forgery, were called up for sen tense. Both are very young men. Bennett was sentenced to si x, and O'Connor to four years' penal servitude. Rees.—Edward Fellows, 24, lebeurer ; Robert Fitton, Hi, hawker ; and John M'Mahon, 22, weaver ; were put on their trial for having, at Manchester, on the 16th May, /857, feloniously and violently assaulted.El'zs Brushy, and then and there violently, and. against her will, ravished, and carnally known her. The proeecutrix has beet married for nineteen years, but has lived separate from her husband for some time. On the night in question, she nas at a beer-house with a friend, in the neighbouthood of Kingston-street, Manchester They left about twelve o'clock, and separated a short distance from the house. The prisoners, who left the house at the same time, fol lowed the pro- ecntrie, and wanted her to have sonic drink with them. On her refusal, MeMah en knocked bee dowr, and while the other prisoners held her, committed the offence for which they were now indicted. Mr. Wheeler appeared for the prose cation, and Mr. D tvison for Fellows The other prisoners were undefended. The case having been clearly proved, the jury found M‘M.ahon guilty of the rape, and the other two prisoners of the crime of aiding and abat ing. His Lordship in passing see tence, said thet the prisoners I evidently belonged to a peg of offenders, whose head- 1 quarters were Manchester. He was resolved to put down the ging. and they might rely upon it they would receive neither mercy nor consideration from the court if over they were`brought before him. He sentenced M•Mahon, who was once before convicted of felony, to fif,een ye irs' penal servitude; Falows, who was also once before convicted of felony. and of several lesser offences, wes sentenced to a like term of punishment —fifteen years' penal servitude ; and Fitton to twelve years' penal servitude, THE MURDER. IN NEW BIRD STREET.— Patriek 30, labourer, was put on his trial, chatged by indictment and also on the coroner's warreur, with having, at Liver pool, on the 4th of April, 1857, feloniously killed and murdered John Kilduff. Mr. Simon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. M.Donnell for the defence. We have already put lished the facts ,f the case. They are few and simple. Ihe prisoner and his wife lodged with the deceased, who lived in 42 court, New Bild street. On the 4 . h of April last the deceased gave them a week's notice to quit. They, however, commenced to remove their furnitu-e that day, and, seeing that, the deceased's wife asked them for the rent, is 10;d. The prisoner answered her with abuse, and then loft the heu-e He returned abut eleven o'cLck that night, just as the deceased and his wife were about to retire to rest, and, finding the door locked, called on the deceased " to come out and fight." The deceased's wi!e threw up the window and cried out for ;he e olive, and when the officer appeared the prisoner moved away. Shortly afterwards the de - ceaeed went out into the court, bet he had scarcely appeared when the p-isoner, with another men and woman, emerged from one of the neighbouring hou es. The prisoner bore in his hand a large stick, aid with it he suddenly s' rack the de ceased on the head. The deceased was faked to the goJund, and when taken to the hcspi:al in an hour or s afcewards it was found that he had .sustained a fracture of the skull. He died in the hospital two days afterwards. When the deceased was taken to the hospital, the prisoner came in front of the house, and in a tone of triumph called o a r, " Where is the dead man now ?" Several witnesses were examined for the prosecution, but their evhience showed that there was great rioting in the court on the eight in question, and that the deceased had provoked the prisoner, who, however, there could be no deubt, struck the blow which resulted so fatally. '1 he jury acquitted him of the crime of murder, but found him guilty of manslaughter. His lordship deferred sentence until this morning. FMBPZZLEMENT —Beejemin Clegg, 35, pleaded guilty to embezzling £45 5s 61, and other sums, the monies of the Corporation of Oldham. The prisoner was in the employ of the Corporation of Oldham, as elanager of the gas works, and up to the time of this offence bore a most excellent character. The co-p .tian now, thrcugh their counsel, Mr. Wheeler, who appeared for the prosecution, stated that it was with pain they came forward to prosecute, and had no objectio i that his Ler hhip should deal with him as leniently as the interests of ju vice would admit of. Sentence deterred. MURDER BY A PAUPER EUNATIc —Nancy Horrocke, a WOMB& advance' in 3 eats, was indicted for the wilful murder of Isabella Lrngw Jrk, at B dton, cn the 3rd May, 1857.

Under the directien of Cohs, the ju7 fouad a verdict of "Insanity." The prisoner will be confuted in a lunatic asylum for the remeirder of her life. ASSAULT ON A Cot Nry Coxsrenez.--John Martin, 24, labourer, and Jehn Davies, 26, cooper, were placed at the bar, charged wi h having at Heap, tear Bury, on the 14th April last, feloniously assaulted Witham Davie., ,one of the county cons'abulary, with intent te murder him. Mr. Wheeler appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoners were defended by Mr. Scott. "It appeared that on the night of the 14th of April the pro- elutor was on duty at Heap. In the discharge of his (ley he visited a common lodging-house kept by a woman of he name of Greenhouse, but when he left the house he was induced to return by hearing a loud kno• king at the back-door. He foetid the prisoners there - and though the woman of the house informed them that she heel not room to accommodate them, they nevertheless insisted on being provided with beds, and continued to knock. The prosecutor advised them to walk on to Bury, three miles distant, where they livei, but they declined, and threatened that if he followed them they would throw him into the river and drown him. He again fell in with them in Church-street, when Davies asked him vials.' he wanted with them at the back of yonder helve." The prosecutor told them to make less noise, and to go home. Upon that Davies struck the prosecutor in the eye, and when the latter, in return, struck with his stick ; both prisoners fell on him. They knocked him down and kicked him and finally left him bleeding and insensible from their violence. The jury acquhted the pris.thers of the crime of wounding with intent to murder, bit found them guilty of unlawfully wounding. Sentence deferred. ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY, WITII VIOLENCE.

In the evening she was Standing at the door e hen the prisoner suddenly came up and knocked her down. He then seized her b 1 the throat, and searched her pockets, in the hope, no doubt, that 119 would find the money there.

Senior ce deferred. 7113 court adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock, to nine o'clock this morning. NISI PRIUS COURT. Yesterday BARON CIIANNELL took his seat in this Court shlrtly after nine o'clock. Lacs AND ANOTIIER v. EICEITIOLZ —This was an action bnught to recover a certain amount, the value of some linen fens. Mr. Udall and Mr Fearnley were for the plaintiff , , and Mr. H. Hill, Q C., and Mr Ovens were f r the defend ant. In this action MesQrs. Lees, Duncan, and Daniels, _ _ cottcn manufacturers, of Wigan and Manchester, were the p:aietiffs, and the defendant was Mr. Ad,lphus Eichholz gent ril commission agent of the same, carrying on business near the plaintiff's manufactory. Amongst other goods the plaintiffs dealt in was certain j )10 lots called " fents," wh'ch we the ends of cotton or linen cloths, and being in length from oae to three or four yards. These "fonts" are put together in parcels, and sold as such. In the mouth of April last, the defendant saw one of the partners in the firm (Daniels), and said he could take some more of these " fonts," and on a subsequent meeting some " huts " were shown him, and he offered 3d. per d ,zen less than the price quoted. At first this offer was rejected, but ultimately agreed to, on the condition that there was to be no credit or any drawback, and that they were to be paid for on the following Friday, the 17th instant. The goods were in voiced and sent in on that day, and nothing more was heard of the transaction until the day of payment, when the defendant sent a note to say that he should decline to take the " louts," on the ground that they were not what they had been represented, and that they were then lying lat the defendant's warehouse, at the plaintiffs risk. The t plaintiffs refused to take the fente, and on the '23:h of the ! same month this action, to recover the amount, _ was COM- rneeced. Evidence was given as to the sale of the fents by the plaintiffe to the defendant, and also to hie having ex ,mined them before he purchased. Mr. Hill, for the defendant, addressed the court, contending that the defendant had never made a bowl fide purchase of the feats, and that as soon as he had exsmined them, he wrote to say that he would not accept the fente, because they were " not what had bean re )resented," being much shorter in length. The defendant was called and carro brated the statement of his counsel, and stated that the plainfeffe had pledged their word that the tents were what they had represented them to be, and if they were nor, th , y w.uld let him live them for nothing Several other witnesses were called to prove that the parcels did not consist f " fents," but were " patches.' Each of the respected counsel addressed the court for their clients. His L r d.hip, in summing up the evidence, stated that the action was brought to recover the sum of £5B 21, I being the value of 15t; dozen yards of fent, and the point which the jury would have to consider was, whether the defendant had actually made a bona fide purchase of the fents. prior to their being delivered, and having reviewed and commented on the evidence adduced on each side, the jary returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the fall amount claimed. Won. v. Setteu.—This was an acion brought to recover eompeneadon for an alledged trespass. Mr. Monde, Q C., with whom was Mr. Leeming, appeared for the plaintiff , and Dir. Hill, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Fearnley, appeared for the defendant. In this action, John Woods, the tenant of the Kings Head public house, of Barton-upon-Irwell, eas the plaintiff; and the defendant was Mr. John Gilbert Smith, the owner of the property. In the year 1850, the plaintiff became the tenant of the Kmg's Head, having married the widow of the lets landlord, and paid £47 103. per annum. rent. Attached to the house was a stable, capable of holding 13 horses, a quoit ground, a gasometer, and other necessary out-buildings, all of which tended to c - intributs towards the value of the house. In the year 1850, the rent was advanced front £47 10s. to £5O, in consequence of some improvements that were to be made, alma of which had bean done, but others had not. In the February of 1856, the defendant, with some other men entered upon the premise:, and commenced :pulling down the stable, the piggeries, and other portions, on which he eracod a smithy, all of which had injured the property, and as it had been done without the leave or license of the tenant, he sought compensation for such injuries. After evidence had been beard on either side, a consultation took place between the learned gentlemen, the result of which was, that theme was settled without going to the jury, by a verdict being taken for the plaintiff. Damages £l5O. BREACH OF PennISII—WO)D v. GARSIDE.—This WAS an actioa brought to recover damages for a breach of promise of marriage, Mr. Monck, Q7C with whom WAS Mr, THE NORTHERN TIMES.--LIVERPOOL; SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1857. damages, contending that no witnesses had been called to prove that the defendant was the seducer, or how she had passed her time, or hoe► she had comported herself, from 1855 to 1836, while at the time of the miscarriage, when the defendant, on meeting the father, said, " I will have nothing more to do with you or her," thus shewing that there was something on his mind as to her conduct. He hoped they would pay great attention to the whole cir cumstances of the case, and if they believed that a pro mise hal been made, that they would not inflict a heavy penalty on the defendant, who was only manager for his father. His lordship having summed up the evidence with great minu.enesg, the jury returned a verdict for the plaiatiff —damages, £350. Tale cincluded the business of the day, and the court adjourned until nice o'clock this morning. Ovens, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. H. Hill, Q. C , with whom was Mr. Spinks, for the defendant. In this action Hannah Wood was the plaintiff, and Thomas Gar side, the younger, was the defendant. The pleadings, as opened by Mr. Oven., stated that the latter had agreed to marry the former ; that a reasonable time had elapsed, and he ha i not done so, although the plaintiff was willing- The defendant pleaded that he had never made the agreement. Mr. Monck, Q C., then rose to address the court, and, in doing so, said they had heard the nature of the present case, but he believed that it will not be found to possess that interest and afford that gratification which such cases generally do to the public; but he feared that it would be the reverse, and would only possess painful details, and it would be for them to .fix the amount of damages. The plaintiff in this case was a young woman in an humble station of life, and at the present time was about twenty one years of age, and, prior to this, Was possessed of consi derable personal beauty. Her fa her was a farmer, living at Old Dame, Sald'eworth, near Oldham, but became embarrassed, and had to quit his farm. He then described the defendant as a man of considerable wealth, but of an age mach older than she was; that she had been in the habit of tilting the dinner to ber brothers and sisters working in the defend ant's mill, when he fell in love with her, and after years of perseverance, he succeeded in seducing her, and then discarded her. He contended that after he had proved the case he should ask for the most ample damages. The evidence was then called, in which the true facts of the case ware elicited. Mrs. Hannah Wood, the mother of the complainant was first called. Her husband's name was Giles Wood, and in 1851 was a farmer, living in Saddle worth. Tne plaintiff in this action was living with them. She is no v twenty-one years of ago. At that time she had two sons and two daughters working for the defendant. The defendant's mill was about a mile from the house. The plaintiff used to take her brothers and sisters' dinner to the print works. While I lived at Brimelow I have seen the defendant. He used to come to the house in the latter part of the year. He came frequently. I heard him say that he came after my daughter, as he had long thought of her. I told him she was too young for anybody, and he was too old for her He replied, it did not matter, he loved her and wished to have her. I said it was not a hkely pair to go tegather. At that time I should say that the defendant was above forty. I said she had no money ; he replied that that was no no fitter, as he had plenty for them both She told him to go away, as she would not have anything to do with him. He kept coming till 1833, and looked to do very well. He was courting her In 1852 my husband became embarrassed and ,left the farm, and went to reside at. Old Dime. The defendant used to visit my daughter there. In 1833, my daughter went to live with a female who subsequently died in the follow pg year. In 1854, my daughter was sick. The defendant came to see her. She was on the sofa. The defendant asked her how she was coming on, and she said her legs were bad, he told her to go for a doctor, and he would find the money, but that the witness refused to accept. He stayed there for some time. After that the plaintiff went to live with a sister named Winterbottom . My daughter did not receive the defendant well, and I asked him what he came for, and tie reeled " that he intended to have her." I told the defendant to keep away Leone my daughter many a time. He replied, " that he would not, as he intended having her." Front Mrs. Winterbottom'e she went to another sisters, and in 1855 she came home to live, having been sway four months. During the time that she was away, the defendant used to call and ask if she was home. When she did gat home the defendant called soon after to see her. She thought it was on the same day, but did not recollect exactly the time. The defendant came repeatedly after that, he had been there until she was fairly weary, and then she ceased telling him to come. On the 3rd of September, 1855, early in the morning, my daughter was getting ready to go out with him, and I asaed them both where 'hey were going. He said something ab cut some work, and could not go to Rochdale. I said it was quite time to keow what he intended, and he said that he would be married in less than three weeks from that time. The clothes were all got ready for the wedding, and she was ready to be married. In June, 1836, the plaintiff gave birth to a child, and after that the defendant never came to her house. During the time that the defendant visit- d my house, he trequen.ly talked of being married. Cross examined by Mr. HAL : I have six daughters, three married and three unmarried. I have known the defendant for many years, his father has got some print works, and the defendant talked as if he was manager of them for his father. Her eldest daughter's husband kept a public house, and his name was Winterbottom. Some sporting people go to the house. The plaintiff acted as the servant to her sister for some months. From 1852 until 1855, she as sisted cff and on as barmaid at the public house. She used to take the money at the race-ground at Higgins' show. Two of her daughters had had children before they were married. Re-examined by Mr. Monck: The father of the defendant is a captain, and lives at Wood-brow. The defendant lives with him. Solomon Cootes, a dealer in cattle, and the keeper of a bar of a beerhouse at Rochdale, said—l know the defendant. The plaintiff is my cousin. The defendant is a woollen printer. I have dealt with him foe the last twenty' years. I have a sister by the name of Shaw, who lives near the defendant's place. I recollect, one day, the plaintiff, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, and Mary Wood came to my house, and had dinner. After dinner, I met the defendant about 100 yards from my house. It was in August, 1853. I and the defendant walked together, and we had some talk about Miss Wood. lie said he had fallen in love with her ever since she came to the works, and asked me to speak to her. I told him I thought that it was a very unequal match, and he said, "Never mind ; I have plenty of money, and I will bni d her a house, and let her have £lOO a year. We all wen , home together to tea, and he paid great attention to her. She was very shy. He frequently spoke to her. After tea, we went into the parlour together. The defendant and a'l tho other parties left in the same vehicle. The plaintiff would not listen to him. In July, 1855, I again saw the defendant. The plaintiff and her sister was wide him. He said be was glad to find that she was much altered since he had seen her before, and they were going to be married. The defendant aeke I him how he co❑ld get married, as he did not wish to have it published ; and he said that his father was an old man, seventy or eighty years of age, and it might make £7OOO or £BOOO difference to him. He talked about wing to Gretna Green, but I told him I did not know anything about it. The sexton of the church came up at the time, and I re ferred him to White, and White, at the defendant's re quest, was c died in, and a conversation ensued. After that the witness received a letter, and handed it to the defendant, who said it was just the thing. He then asked me to let my wife go to the Isle of Man to live with the plaintiff for thirty days, for it would take that time before they could get married, I assented, but 'he defendant did not go, as he had a great deal of work on hands, bat he said that they would be married before Christmas. He 'afterwards said that they had agreed to be married before Christmas, and asked me to go to a solicitor to have an agreement drawn up to bind them both. He went to a solicitor, Mr. Standish, but only got laughsd at. A few days after, I and the de fendant went to the dllce together, but he was not at home, and the defendant gave him the money to have an agreement drawn up. This was done, and handed to the defendant, who said it would do very well, and took it away with him. John White, the sexton of the parish church, and a grocer, living at Rochdale, was called. On the Sunday mentioned by the last witness, he was re quested to go into the house, where he was introduced to the defendant. After some conversation, the defendant asked him about a marriage license, as he wished to be married to the young woman, Hannah Wood, in the other room. He gave them all particulars, and then the de fendant asked if the marriage would be legal in Gretna green, and if they could retire to the Isle of Man, and asked him to make some inquiry. The reason for that Was, as the defendant said, that it might msks a difference in regard to the father's will. He consented to make some inquiry in the Isle cf Man, and received a letter by the return of post, which was given to Cootes. [This letter was not produced by the defendant, although called for.] By Mr. Hill: What occupation do you follow ? Witness : lam the sexton of the church. Mr. Hill : I thought it was the business of the sexton to put people into the grave and not to marry them. The Witness: We must make a puptilation, before we can bury them. (Roars of laughter.) Sarah Winterbottom, the sister to the plaintiff, was next called. She said that the defendant had called at her house, and had asked her to talk to her sister, as he had a wish to marry her. She told him she did not think it a proper match, as he was so old. His reply was, that " age was of ne consequence, as his money would make up for five." The plaintiff did net see him. He said he would marry her end nobody else must. The witness had frequently told the defendant that he should not come after her actor, but he siid he must for his heart boa; for her, anti if he did not marry her he should drown himself. Giles Wood, the father of the plaintiff, was next called. He said, in the latter end of 1856, I saw that my daughter was fretting, and a few days after I saw the defendant, when I said to h;m, "so you don't came up, now that the girl has happened with this accident ;" and he said, " No, I have don-a with her, and I have nothing more to do with you or her." I then called him a d—d scamp, and he walked away. This concluded the case for the prosecution M-. Mends then, as the defendant did not intend to call any witnesses, addressed the jury, in the course of which he argued that he had fully proved the ease for the prosecution, and, considering the conduct of defendant, an old man, he did hope that the jury would signify their disproval of such conduct by giving damages of considerable amount.

Officer 747 said he saw the two prisoners boxing in the street. ile saw Robinson strike the other, and he saw Grua kick Robinson, so he teok them into custody. Officer 193 cor• roberated this statement. Mr. G.iodere appeared for Mr. Grua, and contended that the officer had acted illegally by taking him from his own house, but the officers denied that they knew who he was, and said he did not tell than until after he was locked up. Two witnesses were produced, who swore that Robinson was the aggressor, and his Worship fined him 53., and the other was discharged. A SUPPaR IN THE COUNTY C:AritT.—A parson of respect able appearance, named Georg-' 11,!gheis, described as a player, was charged by officer 297, who said he saw him and an unfortunate girl standing in the hall of the County Court, at nearly one o'clock in the morning, and he told them to go away, which they did, but after that the pri soner came back and refused to leave the hail. There was a suppu . in the County Curt, and the gentlemen were going out, and the prisoner was annoyiugg them, and would not go away, SO he took him into custody. Mr. Goodere, for the prisoner, said his client had made a mis take. 'There was a supper in the County Court, and the —. • • prisoner mistook it for the supper rooms next door to it. The prisoner was fined ss. A BL ICIiCkjARD.—A well-ireised person, apparently about 35 years old, will gave his name as John Roberts. anti said he was a draper from Manchester, but was said, by tne police, to belong to some omnibus office in town, was remanded on a charga of having acted in a most abominah.e manner towar , ls a lady and some young girls, in Chapel-place, - Brunswick-road. Toe reason of the the remand was that Inspector Chew stated that the police had notice of a raffia going about the respectable streets and squares, acting in a most diabolical manner, and the officers were the look out for him. There was also a charge against a person, answering to the prisoner's description, for having committed a felonious assault on a girl iu a public house. The time was to short for wit nesses to be brought up, and therefore the remand took Criaaos of EMBRZZLEMENT.—.I tall well-dressed youn man, named John Hunter, of No. 9, Atherton-street. Everton, late a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Ram sey, Dee & Co., ship brokers, Water-street, was brought up by detective officer Smith, on a charge of harinc,! enth-zzled £6O belonging to his employers. Mr. Chilton was for the prisoner. Inspector Kehoe said the prisoner was employed in the house as collector and petty cash keeper, and the charge against him was for embezzling £6O. The book keeper of the same house had absconded on Saturday, and had taken a considerable sum of money with and he got off to America. Mr. Bates (late police inspector, now of the private inquiry cffee, Sweet , ing-street) said, yes, he got away of Saturday with £5OO. Mr. liealy, one of the firm, was examined, and said the prisoner was a collector and the keeper of petty cash in the house ; part of his duty was to pay dock dues. We had an account with Heap & Sons, of £3l 23 Id. Told the prisoner to get that su - n, and he told me he was not able to get it. On Monday, when I found the other clerk had absconded, I spoke to the prisoner, and he then admitted that he had got the money, nut tha he had lent it to Smith (the clerk who absconded). The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Cailton, but there was nothing particular elicited, except that he said the absconding clerk, Smith, lead received £3llO, and that he said he had lent Smith the £3O. There was no entry of four accounts received by the prisoner. Mr. Henry Dean, cash-keeper at Messrs. Heap & Co.'s, proved having paid the. prisoner £3l odd on the 23rd July, and produced the receipt for it given by him, and it was also proved that on the Ist of his month the prisoner received upwards of £2l from Messrs. Findlay, Campbell and C and two other small sums from other houses, and Mr. Deily proved that the prisoner had not paid over, nor accounted for these sums. The sums amounted to about £6O. Mr. Bates, of the private inquiry office, was ex amined, and said he was cal ed on, is the first instance, to investigate the case. The prisoner told him he lent the money to Smith, the book-keeper, who had absconded to America with a girl. (Laughter.) Mr. Bates then men tiolle 1 some matters connected with Smith and the prisoner, alter which his Worship committed the young man for trial, refusieg to take bail for his appearance. &atolls CRARGE.—Mr. Cobb applied to his Worship for a summons against three persons, vihose names we co not give at present, under rather curious ercuanstances. Tne specific charge was one of forgery, by a certain official person, whom Mr. Cobb alleged had erased his name from a 'eget document, and substituted another, in order to avid certain law proceedings. The application was supported by the vice none sworn testimony of Aar. Worship, who was the attorney in the case of certain preceediegs out of which the present affair arose. Tne summons was ordered, and is made returnable for Tuesday next. BEFORE MR. HEATH.

THE LIBERATION OF BPOLLEN.. On Wednesday morning, about eleven o'clock, Spollen (who had been formally discharged from custody soon after the crowds assembled in Green-street and its im mediate vicinity on the previous evening in the expecta tion of the verdict, had dispersed) proceeded in a covered car, followed by a large mob, to the Broadstone, where he entered a cottage occupied by the Canal lock-keeper, and in which his son James has been remaining since his father's committal. Sergeant Craven, of the G Division, was stationed at the Terminus, for the purpose of pre venting Spollen from obtaining access to any portion of the railway premises, so that he did not attempt to do so, whether- such had been his intention in visiting the neighbourhood or not. He sent a messenger, however, with a request to his wle that she would send him his breakfast, and also desired it to be stated to her that he did not blame her for what she had done, that he entertained no ill feelings towards her on that account, and that it was his desire that the same amicable relseilns which had subsisted between them prior to his arrest should be resumed. Notwithstanding the friendly nature of this message, its bearer was not permitted by Sergeant Craven to communicate with Mrs. Spollen. It may be proper to observe here that this unhappy woman is said to feel deeply aggrieved by the iniputaions cast upon her by the learned counsel who so successfully conducted the defence of her husband. After a delay of some hours at the Brosdstone—a considerable number of persons hav ing congregated in the neighbourhood—Spollen, accom panied by his eldest son visited the office of Mr. Charles Fitzgerald, in Stafford-street, where he requested that Mr. Kane would put his name at the head of asubscription list for his benefit, to which a sympathetic public would subsequently be invited to contribe'e. There is reason for believing that the request was not complied with, and that it was intimated pretty strongly to Mr. Spollen that the sooner he took himself off the better. This was no easy matter, however—an immense throng having assembled outside the office dcor, through which it was impossible for him to obtain favourable access, and accordingly it was found necessary to get him off the premises by a back pas sage leading into Britain street. It is said he states himself to be a "lucky dog," and that he regrets not having in his speech from the dock ",lone justice to his friend Sidney," (one of the able counsel engaged in his defence,) but that he intends writing to the Press, requesting it to do so on his behalf. It is considered doubtful whether Mr. Fidney entertains any regret for the omission referred to in the address of his ci divant client, or whether he would feel at all complimented by a public tribute from that parson to his unqaestionahle forensic ability.—Dublin Daily Express. EXTRIORDINARY CIiiRGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT. At the Southwark police court, on Thursday, Wm. Henry Wyld, a sworn broker, carrying on business in Lambeth, was brought before Mr. Barcham, charged with indecently assaulting Maria Morpeth, a respectable-lo g young female eighteen years of age, with latent. The prosecu trix, who gave her evidence in a very straightforward manner, stated that she lived with her parents in Salutation street, Stamford-street, and her father was a compositor. shortly after two o'clock on the afternoon of the 12th inst., the prisoner came to their house, and put in a distress for £2 194 61, rant due to the landlord. She was at home with her elder brothee, sister (fourteen years of age), and sister (twelve years old.) The former left the house to g ) for their mother. As soon as he was gone, the prisoner and h s man commenced taking an invento•y, when the prisoner came towards her, and said he had better g) up stairs and tee what was there, at the same time asking her to follow him. She did so, and her little brother and sis►ter wanted to come up after them, but the prisoner told them to go back as they were not wanted, as he was going to see if they could not put some of the things away. When they got into the top room he sat on the bed and took an inven tory of the things there. While he was deing so,he jumped up and locked the door. Witness was looking out of the win dow then, hut she asked him what he had done that for. He made no reply, but caught hold of her, and attempted to pull her on the bed, at the same time acting very improperly towards her. He exposed himself also, and pulled out a purse, from which he took a shilling and offered it to her, saying that she would want it before Saturday, as she would then be starved. She struggled hard, and got away from him, indignantly repulsing has insults, and then she found the door, unlocked it, and ran down stairs. There was no one there then but the man in possession and her little brother and sister, whom she did not like to tell what had happened. The latter, however, asked her what was the reason the door was locked, and the cause of the noise in the room. Shortly after her elder brother entered the house, and she told him how the prisoner had treated her, and afterwa ds he was given into custody. The prosecutrix was subjected to a cross-examination by Mr Solomon, who appeared for tie defence ; but,her statement was not in the least shaken. Walter Mor peth, the witness's ()iciest brother, twenty years of age', said that when she told him the manner the prisoner had treated her, he went out and asked the advice of a neighbour, who returned with him to the house. He then fetched a constable, and at that time his mother came in, and then the prisoner was given into custody. Witness informed his worship all that his sister had told him, and that was corroborative of her testimony. Mr. Solomon, for the accused, said he was instructed to say that he was a respectable married man. Being married, and having a large family of children, whom he brought up in the paths of virtue and honesty, he denied moat emphatically the charges made against him, and assured him (Ir. Solomon) that they were tramped up with the view of preventing him from making his levy on her father's goods He called the landlord of the house to speak to his moral character, and the man in possession said the latter knew nothing of what occurred at the top of the house. Mr. Burcham said that, as he denied the charge, he must send him to the sessions for trial, as there was nothing to contradict the girl's evidence. It was a bailable offence ; therefore he would accept two sureties for his appearance at the sessions. EMBARKATION OF TLIE ROYAL MARINE FOUCE FOR CHINA. WOOLWICH, Thursday Night —This afternoon, at half past three o'clock, the Royal Marine Force at Woolwich, under orders for China, assembled on parade for inspection, previous to embarkation on board the screw steam vessel Adelaide, at the Royal Arsenal pier. Three companies of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, numbering 300 officers and men, and 50 supernumeraries, for service in the gun boats and other vesse's in the Chinese waters, complete the force now under orders; and these, with a detachment of the 3rd Company, Gzh Battalion, Royal Artillery, for Hong Kong, formed in marching order at four o'clock, and proceeded to the Royal Arsenal pier for em barkation. The troops were headed by the two splendid bands of the Royal Artillery and the Royal Marine Light Infantry, Colonel Bloomfield, Acting Commandant of the Royal Artillery ; Garrison Captain Freeth, Depny- Aqiistant Quartermaster -General of the same corps; Colonel Brown, Commandant of the Woolwich Division of R oyal. Marines ; and other officers of b oth regiments. The march from the Royal Marine Barracks to the pier was a most interesting and excitirg scene The streets were crowded with people, who incessantly cheered the troops, and the latter responded in a most hearty manaer, numbers of the men enthusiastically waving their caps on the point of their sword scabbards. On arriving at the Royal Arsenal pier, the troops immediately embarked on board the noble iron screw vessel named (which has bsen fitted up in a very excellent manner), the bands playing the pop filar air of " Cheer, boys, cheer." DESTRITCTIVE FIRES AND GRE.4.T LOSS OF PROPERTY IN LONDON. On Thursday morning, about a quarter to three o'clock, considerable alarm was caused in the immediate vicinity of Turnham g nen, in consequence of a fire of a fierce character breaking out in the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr. George West, cabinet-maker and u pholsterer, 12, gaeen's-row, Turnhamgreen. The flames originated, from some unknown cause, in the back fic , ory, aad they rapidly extended to the front building, and did a great deal of mischief. The flames could not be subdued until the workshops, at the back, were destroyed, and the ground floor, and also the fl nor over, were seriously damaged by fire, &c. Also, on Thursday morning, shortly before four o'clock, a fire, which was nearly attended with fatal consequences, happened in the premises to Mr. P. J. Matthews, tabac conist, 37, Hackney-road. The Royal Society's escapes and the engines of the parish and London brigades were promptly in attendance, and the firemen, under the direc tion of Mr Fogo and Mr. Bridges, went to work in an admirable manner, and eventually g ot the fire extinguished, but not until the whole stock-in-trade was consumed and the building severely damaged. A fire likewise took place about the same time on the premises belonging to Mr. Geor g e Simpson, g rocer and c h eesemong er, 20, Romney - terrace , Horseforry - road. The Royal Society's fire escape and the engines were soon in attendance, but the fire wad not subdued until consider able damage was dam, ALLEGED MANSLitIJGHTE Et AT STAFFORD. The distressing scene which took place on S iturlay last, on the occasion of the execution of George Jackson, whose violence on the scaffeld rendered it necessary for him to be held by four officers of the gaol, has been further aggravated by the death of another man, who, in conse quence of blows received on the head, died on the following day. The deceased, Joseph Slinn was a man 54 years of age, who, although once a pugilist, had for many years attended the religious service of the Plymouth Brethren, and conducted himself in a strictly moral manner. He was by trade a sh3emaker. On Saturday last he was up at half-past two o'clock, and as it was not then light, he told his wife he should walk up to the gaol, and see the scaffold erected. On arriving at the gaol, where a large number of persons were congregated, he sheltered himself from a heavy shower of rain close to the entrance of the Gres hound Inn, and, whilst there, a person named Machin asked him to go in and take a pint of ale, giving the deceased at the same time some money fir that purpose. He then went into the inn and ordered a pint of ale, sitting down in a room where Smith, the hangman, a person named Michael Crutchley, and several others were drinking. Soon after the deceased entered the room, Crutchley gave a general challenge to fight any person present, and taking off his coat, threw it near the feet of the deceased. He again eeid he would fight any person there, when the deceased, who was sitting down, replied, " You cannot•" To this Crutchley said, "I will smish your nose," and immediately struck the deceased in the face e ith his clenched fist, and repeating the blow, knocked his head with violence against the wall. The deceased groaned heavily on receiving the second blow, and two strangers who interpesed. got Crntchley removed by the police. The deceased was sub sequently conveyed home and put to bed, and medical assistance was obtained in the course of the day, and on the following day he died. On Monday an inquest was held, and was adjourned. A post marten?, examination of the body had been previously made,'lrom which it appezired the deceased was is a perfectly I).ealthy state. On exam ining the skull there was no fracture, but internally the blood vessels on the surface of the brain was very much congested. The cause of deatt was effusion of blood on the brain, the result of a }- j es w or fs,ll, and the appearances were compatibl!, a bl ow inflicted by a man's fist. Crutchley ":osoaded.

The carpenter, Verner Lun's case , was ( W en' fr settled by the agents without going to trial. Therety mained the case of the five seamen. Mr. Baxter, f°,ol defence, stated that some of the averments in th e P etP tit were denied, and in particular, the ayerment tha t thes, y l was not repaired at Sweetnose, and the insieuetioe 10, the defender wished to put to Bel with her in an wor thy condition. The feet was that the vessel vi lsr ol iota Sweetnose for two purposes : —first, to repair tjt, d a mages which the stern had oceacioned ; and seeer)eio to get the barley thrown overheard which had ie l de' the action of the pumps. Both these things were effectually, as the ship's log would show ; but after 'di were done, and when the miner proposed to p et to ' t ol the five petitioners objected, statieg as their groutei l hell they wanted th topsides overhauled, and the limber s 9 i 0 and cleared.

T.t o , ( Baiter, contended was proof of seaworthiness, and ' n et refusal of the petitioners to go to sea was an act of tilre ence to a lawful command of the in_s t er, which , asst teo vessel shorthanded, fully justified the measures ich, l 'es: had taken; and the continued refusal forfeited their wages. Mr- Baxter went on to state that t ,,th" r if mate had unfortunately been left at Bergen, in Pholjlei unwell, wOh the ship's lire in his possession. Mr. delivered the judgement of the Celle.
