On the other hand, these troops are described as being in ad mirable order, and furnished with every: requisite for taking the field under the best auspices.. From the Baltic we hear that the Russian fleet had been ordered to Cronstadt—accoiding to some accounts, to be laid up in ordinary for the winter, in consequence of the severe weather; as others say to be ready for any emergency. Advices from Asia speak with certainty of a strong Russian army being concentrated in the Caucasus ; it is said to be composed of from 100,000 to 120,000 men, and is`posted on the frontier and along the shores of the Euxine. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chron icle, thus writes on this subject :—ln.coiToboration of the first part of this intelligence, an electric despatch, received to-day from Vienna, and dated yesteiday (Sunday,) states that the Correspond ance Autrichienne, which is the semi-official jour nal-, announces that the conferences of Olmutz have been of a pacific character. It adds that the Emperor of AuStria was to set out that evening for Warsaw. The intelligence from both these quarters•agree, first, in declaring that the councils of • the Northern Powers are rather pacific than otherwise, but refrains -from giving any informa tienas to the reasons on which they ground their assertions. It is not improbable that some further conferences on the Eastern queStion may be held at Warsaw, the King of Prussia no longer being represented, as at Olmutz, by his brother and nephew. It is said here that the Marquis of Lansdowne has taken with him to England an assurance froni the. Emperor of the French that he would faithfully act with England in all the measures which she may think fit to adopt on the Eastern question. (From the fourth edition of the Morning Chronicle.) • BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. FROM OUR VIENNA CORRESPONDENT.] VIENNA, MONDAY, EVENING. Against the advice of the Four Powers, the Sultan has signed the declaration of war. FRANCE, PARIS, MONDAY There is to be no change in the price of bread. The Moniteur of this morning fixes it for the next fortnight, at 40 and 32 centimes the 21b loaf as before. The Jourhal de's Chemins. de Fer gives the last receipts:— Excess over the corresponding • week of last year. Northern Rouen Havre Orleans ... , ... 886.122 Lyons Strasburg Bale Monterian Western . 64.020 30.723 153.018 2.795 3.849 15.158 If we classify the railroads according to the augmentation in the receipts, they will stand in the following order :—Orleans, Havre, Strasburg, Mediterranean, Northern, Rouen, Monterian, Lyons, Western, Bale. The dissolution of the company of St. Digier to Gray, by its fusion with the Strasburg line, was voted by the shareholders, at a meeting held on the 29th inst. In the weekly bulletin, surprise is expressed at the heaviness of Northern shares, which are ex pected to pay a dividend of 50 francs, or more than 61- per-cent., at the present price: .The Journal de Frankfort, which passes for being an organ of the Russian Government, says it knows :that as long as a British or French ship of War remains in the Bosphorus the Czar will not evacuate; but that he will do so the moment the note of the conference shall have been accepted and the foreign ships of war have been withdrawn.— Galignani, The Journal des Debats has an article on Spa nish affairs, congratulating the New Ministry on having recalled Narveaz, as auguring well for the constitutional cause from that act—the other papers present little worthy of extract. Great efforts have been made by the bulls to make a good liquidation for the end of the month, but large deliveries of Stock to-day have caused a debline. The following are the closing prices ;- 3 per Cents, 74.60; 44- per Cents, 100.60; Bank, 2800; credit fancier; 625; ditto mobilier, 730.

Central, 515. • The Czar having left Olmutz on the 28th, we are anxiously looking to the dispatches. from the Am bassadors for further information ; but private ac counts speak of much cordiality between the Em perors, in which the Prince of Prussia participated. The Sidele criticises the conduct of the King of Prussia, as indicative of the temporising policy of that Sovereign. By absenting himself personally from Olmutz he sheaved deference to the liberal cause in Germany; and conciliated the Emperor by sending the Prince Royal. The Pays has a weak article on the Eastern question, in which it endeavours to exculpate itself from the charge of attenuating the importance of the passage of the Dardanelles. The Assentblee Nationale speaks of the late mea sures of the Bank of England, and "attributes what it calls a financial crisis to the effects of free-trade. But it argues that, under these circumstances, it will be impossible for the Bank of France to'avoid raising their rate to at least 4 per cent. The anxiety of the Government on the corn question is evinced by two more decrees in the Moniteur of this morning ; olio extending by six months the remission of the navigation duties, and another prohibiting the exportation of vegetables till July, 1854. • Telegraphic despatches have been received from Constantinople dated the 22nd. They make no mention of the arrival of the fleets. The Toulounais of the 27th says—'. By a telegra phic despatch received yesterday, orders were given for all officers and soldiers on furlough to be immediately recalled.—Galignani. _ _ The Madrid journals did not appear. on Monday, the 26th, but a letter of that date says—" The Cones will be probably convoked - for the 15th . of November. General Narvaez is expected at . the beginning of October.—Galignani. We read in Galignani—" We have received two letters from • Genoa complaining of the misrepre sentations of the conduct of Miss Margaret .Cun ninghame, contained in the letter of an English man, copied into this journal from the Post. The Englishman states that she distributed the tracts at Lugliano, the day previous to her doing so at Be nabbio, and that she was assaulted by the enraged Peasantry with stones in consequence. This, .our Genokeorrespondents assure us, is an unmitigated falsehood. Miss C. did nothing of the kind, nor would she have distributed any tracts at - all, • but that she was in entire ignorance that her so doing was an Offence against the law." EAST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. We yesterday gave a telegrarbio. announccnawiiL of the arrival of the Indian mail at. Southampton on Monday afternoon, by the Peninsular: and Ori ental Steam Navigation Company's ship Indus, she brings the heavy portion of the East India, China, and. Mediterranean mails, in charge of Lieutenant John Hay, RN., Admiralty agent, and dates—from Alexandria, September 10 ; Malta, September 24; and Gibraltar, September 28.

From Gibraltar we have accounts to the 28th ult. Spanish pillared dollars, being in great de mand for the China markets, had risen to 15 per cent. premium, at- which quotation transactions were effected on the 28th. The screw steamer Phoebe, 11 days from Constantinople and five from Malta, arrived on the 27th ult., and sailed for Liverpool at noon the same day. The steamer Melita, 5i- days from Liverpool, arrived on the 27th ult., and left at 2 p.m. for . Malta and Constanti nople. The Livorno, three days and a-half from Marseilles, arrived same day, and sailed in the evening for Liverpool. The Spanish steamer Bar celona also left during the night for Malaga and Marseilles. The Portuguese sloop of war Porto sailed from Gibraltar. on • the 27th ult. Her Ma jesty's steam sloop Vesuvius was at anchor in Gibraltar Bay when the Indus took her departure thence. The following official notice, in reference to an expected quarantine, was issued at Gibraltar on the 27th ult. : " The governor having received an official communication from the general officer commanding her Catholic Majesty's forces in the adjacent district of the Campo de San Roque,' urging the necessity of imposing a term of quarantine on vessels arriving in this port from England, takes the earliest moment of apprizing the inhabitants of Gibralter, particu larly those at present residing at San Roque and Campo, that the port and fortress may at any moment be placed in a state of quarantine." " By command, G. ADDERLEY, Colonial Secretary." PORTUGAL The Peninsular and Oriental steamer " Tagus," arrived at Southampton, yesterday morning, with the usual Peninsular mails, and dates from Gib raltar 25th, Cadiz, 26th, Lisbon, 29th, Oporto and Vigo, 30th ult, The Tagus brings 37 passengers, and on freight 7 packages specie, value £3,025.

THE FRENCH-STREET SUICIDE.--All doubt, as to the identity of the unfortunate deceased, has been set at rest. The body was exhumed yesterday, and identified by Messrs. Mein and Grainger, of Jedburgh, as that ofJames MacFarlane, a clerk in their employment, who, on the 25th of August last, had forged a cheque for £715, with which he absconded. The clothes, handwriting, &c., of the unfortunate man were also identified by his employers. From information obtained by the police, it appears that the deceased, after committing the forgery, absconded from the town of Jedburgh, having induced a servant of Mr. Mein's to drive him in a vehicle to the next railway station, that was about eight miles distant, from which he proceeded to Alford, where his wife re sided, and absconded from about the same time. It also appeared that although• the draft was cashed on Thursday, the forgery was not discovered until the next Saturday, when the Government and the Bank employed Mr. Everitt, the commander of the Jedburgh county police, to pursue the delinquent to New York. It has been stated that the imita tion of the drawer was so perfeet that the manager of the bank would have paid some thousands on it. Messrs. Meir and Grainger have made affidavits, for the purpose of se curing any property of deceased's found upon him at French street. The Commissioners of Police are to decide their right to-day at one o'clock. - Arnocioirs OUTRAGE.—The Boyle (Co. Roscommon) Gazette has the following :—" One of the most degrading outrages that has been committed in our town for a length of time, was perpetrated on the night of Sunday last ; and, it is more to be regretted, as poor . dumb harmless animals have been the unoffending victims of the malignity and cruelty of a class, who have not, to say the least, either the fear of God or man in their hearts. It appears, that on the above-mentioned night, some parties crossed the gate or walls of Mr. Judge's yard, in Eton's-lane, and having pen etrated into the stables, administered a ball containing poison, to each of four horses, causing the death of three of the animals on the next day, after the most excruciating torture. The fourth house, which was the worst, recovered - . The only cause that can be assigned for this act, is that Mr. Judge, who is an extensive merchant, has been in the habit of using his own horses for the conveyance of goods from Sligo and elsewhere, which called forth the malice of the carmen of Boyle and neighbourhood, inasmuch as their ser vices were by this means . dispensed with. The Hon. L. IL King Harman, Captains Duckworth and Johnston, and Dr. O'Farrell, held a private investigation on Wednesday, after the usual business of the Petty Sessions Court was disposed of, which led to the arrest of several of the carmen, two of whom, named Pat Sharkett and Thomas Gavigan, were committed fully to Roscommon, under an escert of six of the constabulary. A third, named James Butler, was also com mitted afterwards, the investigation having been continued by the Magistrates on Thursday. We understand that the government have offered a reward of £5O for the prosecution and conviction of the offender or offenders. " GREAT MUNSTER FAIR.—At this fair there were 1,427 horses, 1,155 pigs, 6,680 sheep, and 4,450 horned cattle. THE TENANT CONFERENCE.—This body commenced its " new series" of sittings last night; when Messrs. Shee, M.P., Lucas, M.P., Duffy, M.P., Potter, M.P., and Dr. Gray, of the Freeman, were the only persons of the slight est note present, the remainder of the company being com posed of priests, and the sub-editor of the Nation. The sceances will continue some time, but already several mem bers of Parliament who were invited have refused to attend. Meanwhile, some idea of the mode in which the new Con ference will go to work may. be judged from an epistle in reference thereto, from Dr. Cantwell, the R. C. titular Bishop of Meath, who writes that one of the measures to secure tenant-right must necessarily be "the pulling down of Pro testant ascendancy" FIRE.—A portion of the candle factory of Mr. O'Connor, 37, Camden-street, was yesterday destroyed by fire. It has not been discovered how the flames arose. The property was insured in the Patriotic Insurance Company. CAPEL STREET POLICE OPIUM —Tun Corrorx.tlACY EASE. —Tins case came on yesterday, for the third time, when after the examination of some witnesses, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Brady ' and Mr. Blake, Q.C. were heard for the defen dants, and Mr. Meagher for the prosecution. Dr. Kelly then intimated, that he would decline judgment on Thursday next. STORM.—A severe south-westerly gale blew very hard from about two to five o'clock this morning. It came in a succession of, squalls which were greatly felt in the neigh bourhood of Kingstown. - A perfect calm has followed, but it is not unlikely that some damage ha been done at sea.

TUX ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY IN GLASGOW.—The individual now in custody charged with the rObbify of £2,400 worth of jewellery in Mr. Rait's shop, on Sunday last, turns out to be the notorious burglar Johnstone, well known in London, and who was lately taken up by Forrester, at Paris, as being concerned in the robbery of Messrs. Mortimer and Co's. jewellery establishment, but acquitted from want of evidence. A gentleman in Glasgow, who taught Johnstone to play on the flute, has identified his former pupil, in the daring housebreaker now in prison. THE LATE ATTEMPT TO ROB THE DUNDEE BANK.— SiNtartAlt VERDICT.--On Monday last, at the High Court of -Justiciary, Perth, Samuel Faulks, out on bail, surrendered to take his trial on the charge of attempting to rob the Dundee Bank on the Ist of February last, pleaded not guilty. The defence by his counsel was an alibi; and after a long trial, the jury returned the following odd verdict:—" The jury unani mously find that the prisoner has Completely failed to make out an alibi, but there is a majority in the prisoner's favour, that the case against him is not proved." The prisOner was consequently discharged. GLASGOW ASSIZES.-TUESDAY CHARGE OF MURDER.—James Dawson, was charged with assaulting Christian Cockburn or Dawson, his wife, by cutting her on the neck and shoulder with a razor, with intent to murder, or do her a grievious bodily injury. Found guilty of assault at common law, and sentenced to transportation for life. .GAttnoTTING.--Edward. Sharley, convicted or attacking and assaulting Mr. James Johnstone, a leather merchant, in Glas gow, and robbing him of a gold watch, &c., was sentenced to eight years penal servitude. PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.—A meeting of this so ciety was held last night, in the loyal Institution. Mr. Curry preSided, and congratulated the society on its steady growth, its members now numbering over 190. Some excel lent specimens of photographs on coloured glass, were exhi bited by Mr. Keet, and a brief discussion ensued, several members stating their experience in the matter as to whether gutta percha could be made available for this pur pose. Mr. Forrest exhibited a portable apparatus for taking views in the open air, and called attention to a camera, pre sented.by Mr. Atkinson, to the society. It has been recently invented in France, and is called after its inventor, a " Quintoscope." Mr. Berry . then read a paper on the patents of lir. Fox Talbot, and an interesting discussion ensued, as to the real right of Mr. Talbot to several of the discoveries claimed by him. It seemed to be the opinion of the meeting, however, that by the permission recently given by Mr. Tal bot, likenesses, according to his process, might be multiplied to any extent, but not for the purpose of sale. LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY—SCHOOL OF MEDI CINE.—The present session commenced on Saturday last, when a lecture was delivered at the School adjoining the Infirmary, by James Long, Esq., the lecturer on anatomy and physiology, on the difference between organised and inorganic substances the object being to point out wherein really consists the distinction between these two realms of nature; and to give a sketch of the different forms of the de velopment of the vital forte, following it through the stages of birth, growth, declin e , d ea th, a n d decay,_ which form the outline of the history of all organised substances; life being transmitted from one generation of living creatures to an other, but originally arising only as the result of a direct act of creative power. The Lecturer closed with a brief appeal to those now studying medicine to do so thoroughly, and for themselves to give all due heed to what is taught, and to re duce all to' the test of real experience and observation. ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS.—Yesterday, at the DioCesan Registry, St. James's-square, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manehester licensed the Rev. Wray Richard Hunt, 8.A., to the stipendiary curacy of St. Paul's Church, Preston, on the nomination of the Rev. Samuel Flood Page, the incumbent. Also, the Rev. Joah Bates Wakefield, for merly curate of Prestwich Church, to the perpetual curacy of South Shore, near Blackpool, on the nomination of John Taldot Clifton, Esq., of Lytham Hall, the 'patron. HORPORHEY LITERARY INSTI T UTE .-A public meet ing for the purpose of inaugurating this institute, was held on Monday night, in the Horporhey Church school-room. The meeting was addressed by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manchester, Mr. William Fairbairn, C.E., Mr. Malcolm Ross, Mr. Thomas Clegg, Mr. Joseph Simpson, &c., &c., FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA.—Last night, a meet ing was held in Grosvenor-street Chapel, Manchester, on behalf of the Canadian Institution for fugitive slaves. The Rev S. R. Ward (a gentleman of colour) explained the ob jects of the institution, and described the destitute condition of the escaped slaves on their arrival from the scene of their bondage. The meeting was addressed by several other gen tlemen. THE WEAVERS' STRIKE.--Yesterday morning, 175 of the power loom weavers who have been for some time out on strike, resumed work with their former employer, Mr. Morris, Temple-street, Manchester. It will be remembered by our readers that the hands asked for an advance of 10 per cent. upon their wages, and Mr. Morris has,.we are informed, granted them an advanctr of 5 per cent. It is expected that in a very short time, an amicable arrangement will be come to between Messrs. Miller and Mitchell, (who have factories in Alum-street, Jersey-street, and Chapel-street,) and their hands, now on strike, about 330 in number. . IMPUDENT ROBBERY OF A TlLL—Yesterday fore noon, Mrs. Sykes, landlady of the Dog and Partridge pub lic-house, Hennel-street, Manchester, left the bar for a short time, being under the impression that she had locked the drawer of the till, which contained about n 0 in silver, some gold, a watch chain, &c. On coming down stairs, she found a person in the house who called for two-pennyworth of gin, which was supplied to him. On his leaving, it was found that the till had been robbed, and since then, no tidings have been received either of the robber or the money. THE WAGES MOVEMENT.—The ten per cent. agitation continues to spread, and the principal trades of Bolton are soliciting an advance of wages. At several of the Cotton mills the operatives have succeed ed •in getting the desired advance ; at others, the mas ters have given five per cent ; and at one or two, the employers have hitherto refused to make any concession. The maker-up bleachers at one establishment,.that of Mr. Cross, Mortfield, are out on strike. On Monday morning, the Caddow manufacturers closed their weaving shops, the men having previously given a fortnight's notice of their intention to strike, if they did not obtain an advance of one penny in the -shilling. The masters allege that only part of the men intended to strike, and that those who remained at work were to contribute to the support of those on strike. In consequence of the locking-up of the shops, the head quilt weavers held a meeting in the T em p erance Hall, on Monday. There was a strong muster of the operatives, and the utmost unanimity prevailed, a series of resolutions were proposed and adopted ; and it was unanimously agreed that the men should remain out, " until the employers would concede their Mit demands.!' The power-loom weavers in the e m pl o y o f essrs. Hargreaves Brothers are out on strike. Some appre hension is felt lest the continued strikes should lead to some serious disturbance on the part of the operatives, but it is to be hoped that the authorities will take ample precautions for the preservation of peace. SANITARY PRECAUTIONS IN SALFORD.—The Special Sanitary Committee of Salford have instructed the Town Clerk of the Borough, to take legal proceedings against several persons in Pendleton, for causing nuisances by the keeping of pigs. A medical certificate was, at the last meeting of the Committee, presented, stating that the boundary ditch between Salford. and Pendleton, was in a state •so filthy as to be detrimental to the health of the public. Tlie Town Clerk was instructed to . summon the owners of the land adjoining the ditch, with a view to the removal of the nuisance complained of. The Broughton inspector's first report was submitted to the Committee, and made reports respecting no fewer than 30 cases of nuisances, such as stagnant water, accumulations of manure, filthy passages, &c. Orders suited to the circumstances of the several cases were made by the Committee. The requisite legal notices have, been served upon the owners of manure wharfs, at the Bolton canal, near to Ordsall-lane, with a view to their removal. One of the medical officers made a report, and presented a certificate as to the unhealthy condi tion of several premises in the borsourb : owl z-----; , /ings were 0 rd,,,...a e. b. inatittaea by the Town Clerk against the owner s.

POLICE COURTS. -Y ESTERDAY --ESTERDAY [ln our report of the police business on Monday, we men tioned, that John McConnell was one of the parties charged with stealing two empty casks from the warehouse of Mr. Samuel Hunt, 23, Harrington-street. This was an error, as John McConnell was really the person who was the means of detecting the robbers.] A PICKPOCKET. —A boy named Thomas Jones was charged by Alice Gibbs, with havmg picked her pocket. It appeared, that between five and six o'clock on Monday evening, the prosecutrix was going through Preston-street, and ap peared to stop for the purpose of looking at the ruins of the house which had fallen down. The prisoner pushed against her several times, and at last she found his hand in her pocket. She instantly caught him by the hand, and kept him until Police Constable, No. 174, came up, to whom she gave him in charge. There were some shillings and copper in her pocket at the time, of which ten pence was found in the prisoner's hand when arrested. The prisoner was sent for trial. SMUGGLING.—Benneto Safardo and Belthazar Cabriga, two Spanish seamen belonging to the Isabel!" from Savannah, who were charged on Saturday, with having each 32 gallons of foreign rum concealed, were again brought up yesterday. Both prisoners pleaded guilty, and the penalty of £lOO was recorded against them, the magistrates having no power of mitigation vested in themselves. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A CAPTAIN AND MATE.— James Middebrooke, aged 19, apprentice on board the vessel Hero, summoned the captain and mate of that vessel on the charge of having committed several assaults upon him. The prosecutor deposed that he was bound apprentice to Mr. Sinclair, the owner of the Hero, which left Liverpool for China, last year. On the sth of February, the cook appeared to be ill, and the captain, whose name is James Finlay, sent him to the galley to prepare breakfast. Witness asked the mate twice to give him water, but the mate told him to go to h—l and not bother him, in consequence of which, witness could not have the breakfast ready when the bell rang. The captain came out and told the mate to flog him, and as the mate did not do so, he himself took witness aft, and flogged him with an 1f inch rope until he was all over black and blue. James Robinson, the cook, confirmed the statement of the complainant, and added, that it was not the only instance of such things occurring during the voyage. Mr. Mansfield: What was the boy's general behaviour ? Witness : Ile ivas a very well behaved boy. Mr. Mansfield : Did you over hear.him saucy to his officers? Witness : Never, sir. The Captain stated, that the boy had always been very insolent, and disobedient to the ship's officers, and . to himself. He was put in the cabin to assist the steward, merely because it was light work, and to keep him from annoying the crew, and while there he would not do what he was told, and was so insolent that the steward at last turned him out of the cabin, saying he would rather do all the work himself than keep the boy there. On one occasion he said before all the passengers, that he never saw a'greater set of pigs than they and the eaptain were. The chief mate` was examined, and stated that he saw the captain take up a rope's end to the boy, but he did not consider that he hurt him in the least. Never saw the captain strike the boy upon any other occa sion. Witness stated that he had himself sometimes struck the boy, and given him a push with his foot, but never actually kicked him. The conduct of the boy was very inso lent, and when the captain complained that the breakfast was not ready, the boy gave him some impudence. Upon the part of the complainant, it was stated that on one occasion he was ordered to wait upon the passengers when all wet and dirty, and he said he was not fit to wait upon pigs, but he denied having applied any such expression to the passengers or the captain. The case against the chief mate was then gone into. The complainant deposed that upon the 31st of December last, the mate sent him forward to let go some ropes, which he did. Immediately the mate came up, called him a brat, and asked him why he did not let go the ropes as he was ordered. Complainant told him he had done so, when the mate said he was a liar, struck him upon the side of the head, flogged him with several pieces of rope, and kicked him about the deck. The cook was again examined, and confirmed the evidence which was altogether denied by the mate. The captain stated that the cook had himself been fined 20s. for contemp tuous language, and that there was au entry in the log that he had also been fined for striking the boy who was now the prosecutor, with an iron ladle on the head. Mr. Mans field asked if there was any entry . upon the log regarding the boy. The Captain replied in the negative. Mr Mansfield said the boy appeared to have T , — .ducy, as boys frequently .werp. -4 ate same time the Court had a very st,fung feeling that the flogging should not have been done upon the spur of the moment, and that if given by anybody it ought to have been by the captain himself. The offence and the punishment should also have been entered upon the log, and read over to the boy. There appeared, however, to have been some difference between the punishment given by the mate and the captain—the mate appeared to have kicked the boy, of which the Court would mark its disappro bation, by fining him ss. and costs. The case against the captain was dismissed. STREET ROBBERY WITH AGGRAVATED VIOLENCE.—An exceedingly respectable man in appearance, who gave his name as Sergeant, and who stated also that he was a per former at the Amphitheatre, came forward to complain of dreadful ill usage and plunder which he had experienced on Monday night, about half-past nine, at the hands of two desperate looking ruffians. The prosecutor said that he considered this a garotted robbery, and for these very cogent reasons, that after those fellows (whose names we did not catch) had knocked him down. they at once attempted to strangle him with a 'kerchief, and this occurred immediately after he had been thrown on his back, and his pockets rifled. There were four other persons engaged. The occurrence took place near the locality which had formerly been the milk market. Various evidences as to this very remarkable garotted robberyhaving been given, which left no doubt what ever on the mind of his worship, the Mayor, that those ruffians were guilty, although they were defended in a very ingenous manner by Mr. Bluck, Solicitor ; and, notwith standing a statement showing much talent, they were com mitted for trial at the next assizes.

During the whole time of her appearance before the bench the female defendant was so very violent that the magistrate was compelled to order her to be taken below to the lock-up, that he might hear the evidence against the husband. He said, that he did not think the woman was then sober, and that it would be better to remand her, which he ultimately did. Shortly - 'lts, Galloway, who was no t in a tt en d ance at afterwards the commencement of the case, came into court, and ex hibited a fearful black eye, which, she said, had been caused by a blow given to her by the female defendant, and con firmed the statements of her husband s afterwards extraordinary requested to attend again this day. The mos part of this transaction is, that both defendants strangers to Mr. and Mrs know the cause of such an outrage. The male defendant having expressed his contrition, was ultimately fined 10s., and severely reprimanded, and the female was remanded. ROBBERY IN THE MAnKET.—Thomss Purcell was charged with robbing stalls in the Birkenhead. market. The delinquent it appeared, had taken about a dozer.: apples, the property of Air. Shaw.
