OUR MELBOURNE CORRESPONDENCE (Per the Formosa, via Ceylon) MELBOURNE, Jun- 28 The splendid clipper ship Formosa takes her departure for Point de Grille to-morrow, and, anticipating from her splendid sailing qualities that she will reach that port in time for the Overland Mail to England, I take the opportunity of sending you a few lines respecting the present aspect of affairs in this and some of the sister Colonies. Our local politics have been of a somewhat tame character of late. The general subject of public comment and discussion was the approaching general election, which, according to present arrangements, is to come off towards the: latter end of August. This, it may be. observed, is the first appeal to the people , under the New Constitution Bill. Accord ing to the provision of the enactment in question, the colony of Victoria, for the purpose of electing the Legislative Council, is di v id e d i nto six pro., vinces, each to return five members. The qualifi. - ± cation is the possession of land yielding 5001. a year, or worth 5,000/. Six members go out every two years, and the House is not subject to dissolution. This is considered the weak point of the Constitution, and all the Liberal candidates make its reform part of their political capital. Up to this time only 24 or 25 candidates are in the field. and for two of the provinces there are two or three candidates more than the number to be elected'. This, of course, increases the deficiency of candidates in the other provinces, in one of which only two candidates are announced. The result will be that anybody whoeither has or will de. Clare he has 5,000/. in band may obtain a seat in the Upper House without much prospect of opposition. It is not that there are not many men perfectly able to qualify, but the plssessors of wealth in this colony are still incorrigibly bent on money-making, and those who have higher aspirations prefer the Lower House. The Second Chamber, in truth, is not popular. It was constructed by a Legislature which represented only a small proportion of tke present inhabitants of the colony—namely, the old colonists and squatting interest ; and the most conspicuous feeling displayed during the debates upon the new Constitution. and which pervades its provisions, was jealousy of the newly imported element. There is little or no competition for seats in the House of Assembly, for although sixty members are required up to the date of this communication, there are not more than forty candidates. The 60 members are returned by 37 constituencies. Melbourne returns five, Geelong returns four, South Grant, the county in which Geelong stands, three ; 14 places return two each. and 20 places one each. Some of the latter are small consti tuencies, but with population much scattered. Melbourne and its suburban municipalities, making five electoral districts, have twelve members assigned to them—less than their fair share what ever rule be adopted. For the city only one can didate has yet addressed the electors, and only three others are even spoken of. These statistical facts will show you how lothe really respectable and influential parties are to come forward to obtain senatorial honours. The question of State aid is a stumbling block to many of the candidates, and, from all I can learn, the opponents of that principle will have great difficulty of meeting in anything like respectable numbers in the House of Assembly. Nevertheless, as a minority, the party will be strong, and countenanced, as it will be out '-ors, it may soon be converted into a majority. The official return for the month of June of arrivals and departures at this colony exhibits a more favourable state of affairs than any previous month of the current year. The arrivals from the United Kinzdom and Foreign ports were The departures for ditto Gain to the colony from British and Foreign emigration To this balance in our favour may be added some five or six hundred Chinese, who Made their way overland during the month, and therefore escape enumeration.

A few day.; ago a public meeting was held here to con sider and determine upon the best mode of expres , sing the sympathy and admiration of the colonists of Victoria for the services of Miss Nightingale and her associates to the sick, wounded, and dying in the Crimea, and to take into consideration the best means of aiding Miss Nightingale in carrying into active operation her humane plans for provid ing hospital nurses and attendants. Your late fellow-townsman, Sir George Stephen, has entered upon his professional duties as a barrister, and, as you will find, he has become one of our leading advocates in the Insolvent and Bankruptcy Court. My Ballarat correspondent furnishes me the following : Election business is much as it was. I expected to hare seen it noticed in some of our Ballarat " Court Circulars," that Mr. Muir, of the chamber of commerce, has been seen taking airings of late on our slopes and glades. Sound opinions, one way or the other, on the vexed question of education, threaten to form an indispensable article in the political creed of the sundry candidates for our suffrages. In this case, I am afraid that one half of ns will vote right by accident, and the other half wrong with reason. Our local court elections passed off extremely quietly for Ballarat. The miners mustered nearly 2,000, the whole of that number being at! but unanimous in their votes. Of the nine mem bers, whose term of office had expired, eight were re elected for the next six months. The ninth was ri-jetted on account of certain " official indiscretions" laid to his charge and not disproven. Tee police have entered on another foray against sly grog sellers. In the majority of the cases the charges were proved, end the nsir-1 round fines of £5O or four months' imprisonment were clapped on the offenders. The commercial intelligence I herewith send in the usual circulars, from which you will learn that business, although great, is steady, and future prospects good.

ROYAL NUP-riALs.---The Princess Maria Elizabeth of s axo nv, wio , bw ot the late Duke of Genoa, brother of gins Victor Emmanuel, has just celebrated a morranatic ma rriage with the Nlarcois Orapallo, ex-orderly officer of the) Late duke. Mgr. Moreno, the Bishop of Tyree, and confessor of t he princesfl,annonneed this unexpected intelli gence to the King on Sunday last. The guardians ip of the children of the deceased duke has been g i ven to t h a Prince de Carignan, cousin of the King. -4 INCENDIARISIK NEAR NOTTINGHAM—A few days ago Mr. John Morton, a m u] possessed of considerable h ouse _ hold property, was brought before the county m , q , ; =trat es at the Shire-hall, Nottingham, to answer a of incencliarism. It appears that a short time ego the p-ironer was remqnstrated with by a surgeon named Davis , n, at the village of Carlton, near Nottingham, for having silo', a partridge while the bird was sitting, upon which the prisoner became incensed, and used very insulting language to the surgeon ; and in a short time after Mr. Davison's stack was set on fire. A witness, named James (who lives in one of the prisoner's houses), stated that about eight o'clock on the evening of the fire she was out and saw the prisoner with a gun. She followed him unperceived, and when near the stack he muttered something about the door being shut in the face of some of his family when they went to fetch the newspaper ; he then got a match, and having struck a light set five to the stack. He then went away as fast as he could, and witness returned home. Other witnesses depo,ed to see;ng the prisoner near the stack on the night of the fire. He was apprehended by the police, and on his way to Not tingham said," It's a rum job," and denied having his gun with him on the night in question ; this, however, he after wards admitted. The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the next assizes, MURDER IN LIVERPOOL, CORONER'S COURT, YESTERDAY.—In our impression of Saturday, there appeared a paragral)ll relative to the death of a man named Thomas Hughes, 31 years of age; who resided at 130, Wolfe street, Park. There was an inquest held on the body yesterday, and from the evidence given before the jury, it would appear that the man has been murdered. The following is the history of this case, which at present involves some mystery :—The deceased was a labourer, and was formerly given to excessive drinking, but for some months past he was a teetotaler. However, on last Wednesday he " broke out," and went on a spree. He went to a house of bad repute, kept by a woman named Mary M'Ghee, in Britton Court, Prince William street. He was drunk at the time, and con. inued so all the night. It appeared from the evidence of two emales named Gorman, (ino'lp-r and daughter,) who reside opposite Britton Court, that, early on Thursday mo 5 ing, they heard groans coming from the cellar of the house, and on `;saw und er th e d oor, w hi c h was b roken at the bottom, they saw the deceased, and the woman M'Ghee, and another named Carnes, with him. The deceased was saying, "for God's sake, don't let her harm me." The woman. M'Ghee, in the course of ,the day, informed the people where the deceased lodged, that he was very bad at her house, and he was then conveyed 'home, but never spoke after ; he died in three hours. Surgeon Parsonage .ot the Southern Dispensary, who made a post mortern examination of the body, stated that he found the back of the deceased's neck extensively echymozed (bruised), and the sixth cerricle vertihri was completely separated from the seventh. There was great effusion of blood into the sheath of the spinal cord, and these injuries were the cause of death, and the result of great external violence. A fall might probably cause the injuries, but not a fall on the back on a flat surface. Other witnesses were examined, and proved that they heard the deceased moan and cry out for God sake not to harm him ; and they heard females say, "If you don't hold your noise, we will shove you into the midden." The jury, under the circumstances, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder, against some person or persons unknown." It is a curious fact, that in July, 1851, the husband of the woman, M'Ghee, died in the Coroner's Court, whilst giving evidence. LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, The annual meeting of this society was held at seven o'clock last night, in the Royal Institution—Mr. M'Andrew, president, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and con firmed. The following gentlemen were elected members of the society :—Rev. J. Herbert Jones, M.A., Mr. James M'Andrew, and Dr. Nevin. The Secretary, Dr. D. P. Thomson, read the annual report, from which it appeared that the society num bers 140 ordinary members, and has on its roll 184. From the Treasurer's report, it appeared that the balance in favour of the society carried over amounted to £166 14s 61d. Both reports were confirmed. The Chairman delivered a brief address, before retir ing from the office of president. He congratulated the society on its present prosperous condition, and rejoiced at the steps taken by the corporation for the erection of a library and museum worthy of the town. He hoped that, when completed, they would be put under scientific management; and, without intending any reflection on the corporation, observed that in the absence of such management, the Botanic Gardens were at present almost useless as a scientific institution. Dr. Inmann was then elected president of the society, and took the chair vacated by Mr. M'Andrew. Dr. Inmann briefly returned thanks for the honour done, and declared that, in attaining the presidential chair of the society, he had gratified one of the great objects of his ambition. The following gentlemen were elected as the council for the pres-nt year :—Messrs. Brook, Hamilton, Red— dish, Cunningham, F3rde, T. C. Archer, Bryerley, Edwards, Higginson, Bretherton, Rev. H. H. Higgins, Dr. Ihney, Dr. Thomson, and R ev . M r . Ramsay. Dr. Limey, the Rev. Mr. Higgins, and Mr. T. C Archer, were elected vice-presidents. Dr. Thomson and Mr. Byerley were unanimously re elected without a ballot, honorary secretary and treasurer of the society. It was agreed that it should be a law of the society, that, for the future, the IPerary and philosophical intelli— gence shall be discontinued or suspended at eight o'clock, to give time to such members as may have prepared papers to read them. - On the motion of Dr. Ihney, seconded by Mr. T. C. Archer, the thanks of the society were voted by acclama tion to Mr. M'Andrew, for the manner in whick he discharged the duties attaching to the office of president. This concluded the business. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER A.T HEREFORD The annual meeting of the Herefordshire Agricultural Society was held at Hereford, on Saturday. The dinner took place in the evening at the Assembly Rooms, at the Groen Dragon Hotel. The chair was taken by Elias Chadwick Esq., the president for the year; and at the head of the table sat the Right Hon. Sir George Come wall Lewis (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), Mr. Booker Blakemore, M,P., Hon. Captain Hanbury, M.P., the Venerable Archdeacon Freer, C. W. Allen, Esq., high sheriff of the county, and about 150 landlords and tenant farmers. After some introductory toasts, " The health of Sir G. C. Lewis " was proposed from the chair. The Chancellor of the Exchequer commenced his remarks by referring to his former connection with the county, and to the electoral contest which had dissolved it. After glancing at the question of free trade, then in I DISCHARGED PRISONERS AID SOCIETY meeting in aid of this society, was held in Birmingham on Friday night. Lod Calthorpe took the chair, and was supported by Lord Lyttleton, the Recorder of London, Sir S. Northcote, Mr. Adderley, M.P., Sir John Pakington, and other gentlemen. The Honorary Secretary (arr. Burt) stated that the object of the society was to find employment for meri torious discharged prisoners, and to find security to employers, against robberies which might be feared would be committed by persons to whom they thus benevolently gave employment. Mr. Hill (Q.C.), moved a resolution to the effect, that the plans and operations of the Birmingham Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society, be approved by the meeting. Lord Lyttleton seconded the resolution, which was carried. The Recorder of London, agreed with Mr. Hill, that the plan of the association was not only prudent, but modest. They did not pretend to deal with the hardened thief, or the brutal ruffi tn, but with those unfortunate individuals, who, yielding to temptation, fell easily into the commission of crime, and who, by timely aid, might be restored to society. He moved that the employers of the town be requested to co—operate in the good work. Sir John Pakington seconded the resolution. They were met to promote a local charity, and, in his opinion, there was scarcely any object more deserving of their support than the reformation of their Christian fellow countrymen from crime. He hoped tho society would ho the forerunner of many other similar charities throughout the country. Mr. Alderman Lucy moved the next resolution. Mr. Adderley, M.P., in seconding the motion, said it rested upon the public whether or not that great movement should succeed. If they would come forward and meet liberated prisoners in the spirit which had been manifested in the hall that night, they might rely upon it the success of the society would be insured. Mr. Wright, of Manchester, next addressed the meeting. He had been instrumental in restoring many prisoners to society, and many of them now held responsible situations in various parts of the world. When he saw many of these so occupied in various apherea of life, he experienced a peace of mind which the world could not give. He did not see any other way of preventing crime than by taking young children out of the street, and by law compelling their attendance at school. (Cheers.) He would not compel a Roman Catholic to send his child to his (Mr. Wright's) Protestant school, but he should he compelled to send him to a school where he would obtain an education according to the doctrines of his own church. Sir S. Northcote. M.P., moved a vote of thanks to the mayor and officers of the borough, who had taken part in the movement. This was seconded by the stipendiary magistrate, and shortly afterwards the meeting separated. FALL OF ANOTHER HOUSE IN LONDON TWELVE PERSONS BURIED IN THE RUINS Scarcely had the excitement attendant on the late fatal accident in the city, occasioned by the falling of a house. subsided, than another has occurred, almost as startling as the former, though not attended with loss of lif e . Th e scene of the present accident is in Bishopsgate-street, and for a considerable period the most intense excitement existed in the neighbourhood, from the number of men it was known must have been buried in the ruins, and who, it was feared, must have been crushed to death. It appears that about two months since the house in question, situate at 191, Bishopsgate, and then occupied by Mr. Warrener, an extensive toy merchant, was nearly consumed by fire ; and since that time it has been undergoing thorough and substantial repairs by Messrs. Cubitt, the eminent builders, of Gray's Inn Road, and for that purpose a large number of hands have been engaged on the premises. On Saturday morning the men resumed their work as usual, and continued without any indications of danger till about eleven o'clock. Much of the old house was removed, such as the outer walls, floors, and back wall, though materially damaged by the late catastrophe. In the course of the work it was necessary to use great caution, and in order to properly carry the third floor it was found necessary to put in fresh girders. That was partially accomplished, one end of one of them being fixed in one of the side walls, whilst the other end was shored up to support it until the wall to carry it had been secured b 7 new work, on which it was to rest. The men continued their work without fear or apprehen sion until about eleven o'clock, when all at once the girder gave way, and, from the dilapidated state of the under floors, carried everything before it to the cellar—men, tools, and materials—and completely burying a dozen men, several of whom were at the time engaged in the cellar mixing mortar. The immense volume of dust which immediately arose in the air caused the utmost consterna tion to prevail, and the cries of the men who were covered with the debris only heightened the fears of a large concourse of persons for their safety whom the catastrophe had attracted to the spot. Immediately on the alarm being raised, Inspector Scott, Police-sergeant Carter, and a large body , of police, repaired to the spot and rendered valuable assistace to the sufferers, and by their judicious arrange ments prevented any interruption to the ordinary traffic of that crowded thoroughfare. They at once set to work, and, with the assistance of other men, commenced clearing the debris which buried so many of their fellow-creatures, whose screams and cries for he'p were heart-rending. Fortunately for the poor fellows the floors had given way on one side, and consequently fell in a sloping or inclined direction, and to that cause is attributed their providential escape. On removing the woodwork, which was done in a very careful manner, the sufferers were extricated from their perilous position (two, however, being found stuck in the mortar they were mixing), and the worst conveyed in cabs to the hospital, whilst those who were able to walk congratulated themselves on their lucky escape, and made the best of their way home. The injuries are of an external character and not of a serious description. debate,Thut now for ever settled, Sir Cornewall Lewis said the agriculture of this country did not depend for its prosperity upon any temporary influence of war, but that Sr. , tiNNE'S DISPENSARY AND EVE AND EkR INSTi. it would continue to thrive during the peace which now happily existed, as it had thriven during the peace which Timm 9, ROSE HILL.—For the week ending Oct. 18 preceded the last war.

Afterwards he was seen tending his pigs, and performing other work, but the poor woman was seen no more alive. At twelve o'clock the children returned from school, and not finding their mother at home, went in search of her, when, frightful to relate, the poor creatures found their parent dead in a field. Help having been obtained, :t was ascertained that the murdered woman bad been killed with the fork, one of the prongs of which having been driven into the back of the skull, and entering the brain, must have caused instant death. When picked up the body was cold and rigid. The prisoner was found in a state of seeming indifference, and from the time of his arrest until this morning has maintained a gloomy • silence. There can be but little, if any,douht that the man is in a state of apethetic insanity. We hear that some years ago he had been addicted to excessive drinking, and eighteen months past was kept confined to his kitchen. Most likely the fatal deed by which he has stained his hands with blood and deprived his children of their mother was the consequence of some sudden burst of insane passion. A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER CONVICTED FOR FELONY.— ' At the West Riding sessions, held at Doncaster, on Saturday, before W. Aldacre, Esq., chairman, and a bench of magis trates, Henry Thackray, aged 40, a very respectably dressed man, described in the calendar as a commercial traveller, of good education, surrendered to take his trial, charged with stealing a piece of paper, the property of Thomas Clarke, at Goole, on the 25th September, 1856. Mr. Shaw conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Blanchard defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner is a traveller in the employ ment of Messrs. Hodgson and Son, wholesale grocers, Leeds, and the prosecutor alleged that on the 16th August last he paid him on their account £l6 2s, as part of the value of goods he had received, and for which the prisoner gave a receipt. The prisoner, on returning to Leeds. entered only £6 2s as the sum he had received, but in consequence of something taking place, he again visited Goole on the 26th —ea , ' September. He called upon the prosecutor, and requested out et. the bag to be shown the receipt. Clarke, after some demur, held it e gre , a, corn dealers had l ong f e l t t h e up for him to look at, and the prisoner snatched it out of his -"turns for their own guidance. bands and ran into the street. Clarke quickly followed, a r,he farmers) to scuffle took place, and the receipt was torn in two, prosecutor retaining one part and Thackray the other. During the scuffle, the prisoner charged Clarke with having forged the receipt, and called out police, at the same time offering to give np the receipt if Clarke would let him off. It appears, however, that he did not do so, for on the 7th October a warrant was issued for his apprehension, and when it was served upon him at Messrs. Hodgson's counting-house in Leeds, he immediately produced the receipt. This formed the offence for which he now stood to take his trial, Evi dence having been produced, Mr. Blanchard addressed the court on the prisoner's behalf. lye denied that more than £6 2s had been paid, dwelling upon the fact of the prose cutor having paid the prisoner (as he alleged in his evidence) the £l6 in fourteen sovereigns and £2 in silver, as being an unlikely occurrence, and favouring the presumption that he had no more money in the house, and being in distressed circumstances had resorted to a forgery, He contended that the prisoner's conduct when called upon by the police officer was not that of a dishonest man, for although he had had every opportunity for concealing the receipt, he Lad not done so, but immediately produced it. Moreover his employers had retained him in their service, and had every confidence in him. Mr. Blanchard concluded by calling a number of very respectable persons from Leeds to speak to the prisoner's character. The chairman summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. He was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. MR. PACKE, On Friday, at the anniversary of the Loughborough Agri_ cultural Association, Mr. C. W. Packs, hI.P, said, in reference to the subject of agricul t ural statistics—The question was entirely an oectirder's question. It had engaged the attention of almost all the agricultural meetings held since the prorogation of parliament. It was a matter, in his humble judgment, of serious importance to themselves, fraught with the menace of interference in their particular and private concerns. Mr. Stafford had well observed at Northampton : Did those who asked for this information from the farmers furnish the farmers with information of what they had in their shops and possessed in their houses? (Cheers.) It was an analogous question. No doubt they were aware of every pound of cotton that went out and in. But what he asked them was, had they any private information of the merchant's own affairs and own concerns ? Mr. Edwards had said that government ought to compel the statistics, in order to ascertain how much corn was grown in the country, so as not to be dependent on foreigners, and urged that the land of this country could produce enough for the population. But they all knew that the produce of corn depended upon the price obtained for it in the previous year. If they could not, in fact, get a remunerative price for their corn, they would turn their farms to the production of some other crop. Ilia hon. friend, Mr. Tollemache, the member for Cheshire, a gentleman whom he (Mr. Packe)respected highly, had said that the people of this country ought to know what corn was grow❑ abroad, so as to let the farmers of England knew what produce could be imported from abroad. It was all very well to ask them what they had got, but would they tell them what came from other countries P Before the agitation had commenced on the subject in parliament, Lord Ashburton had let the • cat out of the bag corn dealers had long felt the iecessity for some such returns for their own guidance. To be sure they had. But were they (the farmers) to be grilled into giving private information to those opposed to them, and who met them in the market ? No for their benefit by owning that 1 show th argument could M.P., ON AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. that was The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is member for Rat --- 1: norshire, had, with financial candour, admitted in that county, that even if obtained, agricultural statistics would not he worth the . cost of collection.

Illr. Packe concluded bY Proposi ng the _toast which he had intended. In the course of the evening, mr. W. Perry Herrick, of Beaumaris, a rich and influential Leicestershire gentleman, rose and disputed Mr. Packe's conclusions, assigning two reasons, more especially why the statistics would be found beneficial to the farmers, namely, i n checking undue and ruinous importations from abroad, and in enabling them them to know what to grow.

Henry Wood, iron merchant, Coree Piazzas, The Recorder said : Gentlemen of the grand jury, after an interval of eight weeks, the calendar contains the names of seventy-ono persons charged with fe,u y, and twenty-nine charged with misdemeanour. Of :hat number, altogether on hundred, forty•one are women, showing what i fo ftl/•"' 0 iou to remark, that the female sex of this town unhappily contribute, in a very large proportion, to the crimes committed among the community. Some of the most serious offences in the calendar are charges against women. For example, a prostitute is charged with having picked a corn dealer's pocket of 1174 ; another with stealing £65 from an army worksman, on his return from the Crimea ; another with snatching from an Irishman, on his return from America, twenty-four sovereigns in a purse. Two women are also alleged to have been plying together, very actively, as pickpockets in the omnibuses about the town. Nor are their offences confined to cases of stealing, because, even where violence has been com mitted and knives used, a large proportion of the offenders again are women. It is quite true that almost all of these women belong to that dissolute and unhappy class who are so numerous here, and really, in their connection with crime, are so dangerous, that I am disposed to think that the legislature would do right in taking, to some extent, a model from other countries, and authorise those who administer justice here, or preside over the police, to be more stringent in their regulations respecting them. If their number could be diminished it would be a good thing for the public, and still more for that unhappy class of people. There is, how ever, a satisfactory feature in the calendar, in the absence of any offence very seriously affecting the commerce of the town. The magistrates and this court have done something to put down schemes for the plunder of timber, plans for the robbery of merchandise on the quays, and for breaking open warehouses and stealing cotton. I hope these offences are kept, to some degree, in check, because I do not find any of them in the printed calendar likely to come before us. One of the most serious offences remaining to bo noticed is the theft of a cash-box from the office of an accountant ; £4O were taken away in the box, from a room left for a few moments unguarded. Gentlemen, there is one case new in its charac ter locre, and important, in which four persons are charged with misdemeanour, the charge arising from their conduct in an auction-room. Now, on the one hand, sale by auction is a most convenient and useful mode of disposing of property, provided it he fairly conducted ; but, on the other hand, sham sales fraudulently conducted are very mischievous. If, under colour of sale, two or more persons agree together to act parts fraudulently, pretending to bid and to buy, and making false representations to induce persons to part with their money for goods of value very inferior to the price given, it is manifest that unwary and inexperienced persons may he plundered, cheated, and swindled out of their money to any extent. It has been said that it is extremely difficult to suppress such practices—that it is almost impossible to bring the agents within the reach of the criminal law. It appears to me, gentlemen, that this difficulty has bee❑ greatly exaggerated. If, on consideration of the case submitted to you, you should be of opinion that the conduct of the parties charged has been of that fraudulent description which I have described, I have no hesitation in directing you to find the bill and put the case in course of investigation before a jury in this court. The circumstances of -these cases you will find to be different, but you may consider all of them with reference to the principle which I have laid down to you as the undoubted and indisputable law of the realm—that is, that if two or more persons agree and confe lerate together fraudulently and wrong folly to prejudice a third person, parties so agreeing aro guilty of misdemeanour and conspiracy, for which they may be indicted, convicted, fined, and imprisoned. Gentlemen, with regard to the agreement it is not to be expected, and it is not requisite, that you should have evidence of these parties laying their scheme and making the agreement. It is quite enough if circumstances are laid before you from which you may fairly infer the existence of such an agreement. Gentlemen, with this general direction I have no doubt your own intelligence will guide you to a right conclusion in the cases when brought before you. Yon will quite understand that in giving this direction, I do not mean to prejudge the case. It is for you to say what the true character of the conduct of the parties charged is, that is to say, whether they were acting honestly, or fraudulently and criminally, within the principle which I have endeavoured to state. The grand jury then retired to their room to consider the bills. • MURDER NEAR BRADFORD.-CAPTURE OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER On Friday, from information received, Mr. Ingham, of Bradford, West Riding superintendent, constable of the dis trict, went with some assistance, to Stanningley, four miles from Bradford, on the road to Leeds, to apprehend a man named Jno. Gambles, supposed to be the murderer of Jeremiah Milnes. In this he adroitly succeeded, without raising any alarm, and bronght him to Bradford, and placed him in the lockups until Saturday, when at four o'clock in the afternoon, a special court was opened by Joshua Pollard, Esq., and Captain Pollard, two of the West Riding magistrates. Before pro ceeding with their investigations, however, three or fbue surgeons examined, undressed, the prisoner's body, and found his back covered with scratches, the right elbow wounded, and a cut an inch in length immediately above it. There was also a wound which might have been caused by a boil, or a stroke from some instrument, pointed but not sharp, on the side of the left cheek. The first witness called was J. Jowett, the young man who accomeanied Milnes when the affray, ending in his murder, took place, and he not only repeated his former evidence, but, when looking at the prisoner, said he thought him the man, but, as the moon was then covered, ho could not distinctly see his face. He thus could not swear to his identity, but declared he was similary dressed. A. witness named Braithwaite was then called, and deposed that during. the " feast" or " tide," he had been acting as a waiter at the Coach and Horses Inn, Bradford Moor, and shortly after eleven o'clock left the house to go home to Stanningley, accompanied by a man named Stansfield. When near the junction of the two roads, the old and the new, to Leeds, and within a short distance of where the murder was committed, they saw at the distance of forty yards the prisoner scramble out from near the hedge bottom, and walk as if tipsy, on before them. They shortly overtook him, and then found by his talk that he was quite sober. Stansfleld, who knew him, asked, " Have you been in a row, Jack ? Jack answered, " No." Stans field said, " Why, thy face is all covered with blood;" hut to this the prisoner gave no answer, and they walked on talking till near Stanningley, when they parted. The prisoner, in cross questioning the witness, proved that he had been at the Coach and Horses Inn, about eleven o'clock, and tried to prove an alibi from this, as it was alleged that the murder had been committed about the same hour, that cannot be clearly deter mined. At all events, the Coach and Horses Inn is only seven minutes walk from the place of the tragedy, and hence could soon bo reached; and another witness, who had been in the prisoner's company, said he saw him in the house, for the last time, a few minutes after eleven. Mr. Terry, surge u, then examined the prisoner's body a second time, and gave it as his opinion that the scratched condition of his back, could not, with his clothes on, have been produced by blows from steelyards and hooks with which the deceased had struck his assailant, though at first sight it seemed to be suspi cious, as, from the evidence of Jowett, it appeared that whoever the guilty man may be, ho had been struck upon the right shoulder, where the prisoner was most deeply scratched. The prisoner, however, accounted for these scratches on his back, and the cut and wound on his area, by calling witnesses to prove that he had been fighting with his shirt off, the previous night, at the front of the Regent Inn, Bradford Moor, on a hard ground formed chiefly of ashes, and that he was frequently thrown upon his hack. A witness from Stanningley, named Bullock, also proved that the prisoner had showed him his wounded aim in the course of Tuesday, before he went to Bradford Moor. The bench, after a single minute's deliberation, promptly discharged the prisoner, thinking that though there might be suspicion, that could be no ground for keeping him in custody. But, strange to say, he was never,previous to b e i ng di sc h arge d , as k e d w h at h e was d o i ng a t the hedge bottom, so near the scene of the murder, and about the time of its being committed, nor how his cheek-hone came to be covered with clotted blood. The man, who is 30 years of ago, possesses a forbidding countenance, w.lich, as the witness Jewett said of that of the murderer, is large. He i s also above the middle height, and rather stoutly made. R e says he is now working at wool combing, but is a cloth weaver by trade. We may a dd, th at h e h as latterly been associated with prostitutes is Bradford, and been also living upon their gains, MINOR MISERIES.-Amongst the multitude of minor miseries there are few that so painfully annoy as the injuries inflicted on the feet by tight or ill-fitting boots and shoes, and not unfrequently by the neglect of the toe nails or of incipient corns and bunions. The attention of residents or visitors suffering from these causes is directed to the announcement of Mr. Simms in our advertising columns. He is the author of a practical exposition on the feet, and his testimonials from the nobility, also Physician to Her Majesty, medical and other gentlemen, and residents in this neighbeurhood, speak for themselves. Consulting Rooms, 36 Slater-street. -4d, POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL BEFORE' MR. CR-03TRFJAITE STREET Ronntay.l.—A well dressed, good looking young man, very well - known to the police, who gave his name as John Gilligan, was charged by Mr. Julius Harman; ta , mcrehatit, - belongirg to New York, for having robbed him in Lime street of 'his gold watch and chain ; value £25. The complainant said, at seven o'cock on ,Saturday evening, he was pas,ing along Linie:street, on his way to the concert, when be stopped at an auction shop' aoor,.where there was a crowd of persons, and the 'prisoner was there also ; he passed close to the witness and snatchrd his watch and chlin, with which he made off. 'Witness followed and called " stop thief ;?' a gentleman joined in the chase, when the prisoner flung away the, watch :and'chain, which Mr. H man picked up, but the other gentleman continued thechase and captured the prisoner, who w.as then handed over to Detectiie Scott. The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses with some tact, in order to shovi that any one else might have done it, but he failed to convirce his Worship of his innocence, and he was committed for trial. THE Two DROMIOS, oa THE DIFFERENCE OF Two INlTlALS.—Catherine Moore, a well dressed, good.looking, young woman, was brenght rp on remand, charged with stealing a quantity of *earth . ; a , parel, belonging to Mr, Thos. Thoronson, of Bo ';.;:rave terrace. • Mr. Goodere aoneared for Oe . prisoner. Thr-hett. of this cane (already published) were these. The grandinothdr 'Of* the prisoner, resided as Servant, at Mr. l'nompson's, and during a . Yis4 which the priimier naid,to her relation, it would appear that she took the property. A Portion of this was found pledged at the. shop of Mr, Walters, London road, and some articles were also feund in the prisoner's box, at her lodging. These articles were identified 'by Mr. Thompson; and had his initials, "T. T.," on them. The defence' set up by Mr. Goodere was, that the articles had been given to the pri: goner by one " Thomas,Thurlow," who was at Whitehaven, and the initials "T. T." stood for Thomas Thuile*, as well as for Thomas Thompson.. .flis Worship had no faith' in this doctrine, and he sent the prisoner to gaol for. two months. • CURIOUS CASE OF A WATCEI.--MT., John Whitney, stitioner,_of Chapel street, charged a y oung f ema l e, named Catherine Johnston, with having stolen his watch. E. said about half-past ten O'clOck on 'Saturday night be was proceeding up Leigh street, when he was accosted by the prisoner, whom be told to go away. She persisted to force herself on him, and; on:a sudden, he felt a pull at his watch (worth and •he at once caught hold of her. She struggled, hut he held her until the police came up. Sub sequent to the prisoner being taken, an officer (225) searched the place where the transaction happened, and, he found the lug or ring of the watch on the flags, but the watch was gone. Mr. Black proceeded to cross-examine the prosecutor ' who said he was not drunk, alth oug h h e had some drink. Mr. Block: Were you . sober? No, but I was not drunk : Mr. Bluck : I suppose yo . o call a man drunk only when he cannot see; - or speak, or hear, or walk or feel. (A laugh.) Were you in Jones' or Wood's public: house that night with a' female,_ or two ? Not that I re member. What public-house were you in ? In Mr. Pugh's, in Williamson street. Do you swear , the prisoner was the person who stole your watch ? Yes, there was no one else to do it. Were there any men near her at the time None. Any women ? ' None. Then how could she have got rid of the' watch, if she took it, as you swear you he'd her all the time ? I held her; but Ido not know how she got rid of it. There were two other witnesses who nearly corroborated the evidence of Mr. Whitney, and one of them said he saw' a man run away from about the place where the prosecutor held the prisoner: Mr. Bluck contended that his client did pot, and, according to the prosecutors' story, could not have taken his watch. He would leave the " case" in the " hands" of his Worship. The girl said she would wish to make a statement, although she was advised by her attorney to say nothing. Her Story was this :—She went into Jones' public house to get a glass of rasberry on her return home, and, whilst standing at the counter, the prosecutor, along with a woman, came in. He called fir some drink, but the land lady refused to serve him, as he was drunk and had an. improper person with him. They then went out, and in some time after, she was passing by the corner, of Leigh street, when she was accostel by the prosecutor, but she refused to speak to him, when he said " Oh, you have, stolen my watch, at the same time catching hold of her and calling the police. She declared this was all she knew about it. The prosecutor strongly denied the truth of this tale. The'girl said she could bring the landlady of the public house and the waiter to prove its truth. Mr. I .irosthwaite said she could bring them on her trial, as he was resolved to commit her, She was sent for trial accordingly. PLUNDERING A SHIP. --John Duck, Cook; William Stephenson, seaman ; William Frazer and Henry Southwell, apprentices, all belonging to the ship Ceres, were brought up by officer Barrow, No 7, on a charge of having stolen four bottles of brandy, 21 lbs. of soap, some biscuit, and other things belonging to the vessel. It appears that Messrs. Sinter and Marier were loading the vessels with such articles, and the two bsys broke open the brandy cases, the soap cases, and biscuit boxes, and plundered them. The officer got one of the prisoners leaving the dock with some brandy, soap, and biscuit, and this led to the discovery of four bottles of brandy, the soap, &c., all of which they had taken from the ship. The prisoners admittsd the fact, hut thought it was no harm. They were committed for two months. BEFORE MR. MANSFiELD, STABBING AND ASSAULTS. —John Jones, described as the commander of a schooner, was charged with having com mitted assaults on police constables 49 and 191, near one of the dock gates. The squabble arose out of drink, when the officers were severely handled by the defendant Mr. Mansfield said he had a notion to send the case f,,,r trial, but be , prisoner would£s an dispodse costsof it in a summary ways, and fine th e Archibald M‘Glacken was chary a d with having stabbed a young woman, named Mary 9 nne Dodd. in a severe manner, with a penknife. The D',;:rties reside in the same court in Blenheim street, an :) . on Saturday night the prisoner had a row with his wl_ ; :e and some other person, when the com plainant and others went to see what the row was about, and also 'to prevent it. The prisoner rushed down St'',.irs with a penknife in his hand, and stabbed the young woman in several places. The prisoner was sent for trial. Anne Ellen Maenny, a respectable-looking person, was charged with having assaulted Catherine Oakes. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoner. It appeared tha there was a fearful row in Curry street, in which a number of wonv-n were engaged in deadly strife. The complainant and 1 prisoner seemed to have acted as generals, and met in conflict—" When Greek meets Greek, then came the tug of war," and the result was the worsting of the complainant, who then sought refuge in the arms of the law. On her behalf, however, Mr. Bluck produced an overwhelming amount of evidence, and this turned the scale in her favour, and she was honourably acquitted. CHARGE OP CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON A YOUNG WOMAN.-- James Bethel, described as a surgeon, was charged with having committed a felonious assault on a young woman, named Mary Anne Foster, in Parliarnent-street, on Saturday evening. The complainant said she was passing up Parliament-street on Saturday night, when the prisoner, whom she did not know addressed her, and wanted her to drink ale with hire. She refused, and he then followed her several places, and at last, in a lonely place, he dragged her into a passage, and, as she allezerl, comtnitt d the off nee. The prisoner was remanded to troduce medical evidence. A BEGGING LETTER WRITER.—Robert Anderson was charged as a begging letter-writer, and for having at tempted to obtain money by means of false pretences. He presen'ed a letter at the Earl of Derby's office, in Leeds street, and said it was signed by Mr. Leicester, a baker, and recommending him as a person worthy of assistance. The letter had the names of several respectable persons attached, all of which were forgeries. He was remanded. BIRKENHEAD. BEFORE MR. J. JACKSON AND MR. A. BRYANS EiSAM:T ON A POLICE-OFFICER.-Three young men. named William Williams, George Dodd, a n d J ames Fer guson, well-known disreputable chanicters, were brought up on remand, charged with a , saulting William Everton, one of the Holt hilt and Clifton park constables, on Friday night last. ffi Th e when h e ocer wa s u standing near 'Waterloo pl ace , Birkenhead, wassuddenly attacked by four men, and was beaten until he became i nsens i ble. His cries for hanedl p o a n t t s r e a e c i t n e: t h o e s t e h e t hse ruffians ins ranpot a fem a l e and a night watchman, away. The prisoners were fully identified as being three of the assailants, and were each fined £5 ; or, in default, two months imprison ment. A DANGEROUS CHARACTER,—John Stewart, a slight, but well-built young man, was committed for trial on a charge of highway robbery, he, with six or seven other men, having attacked and robbed a man, named Thomas Leonard, while on his way to Rock Ferry, on Saturday night. The prisoner was hardly locked up in the cell when he brutally attacked a young lad who was also confined there, and would have done him serious injury were it not for the prompt interference of the officers. It appeared that he assaulted another fellow.prisoner immediately after his arrest on Sunday morning. The bench expressed the strongest indignation of such conduct, and ordered infor mations to be also returned against him for these assaults. Mr. Edwards, we observe, has retired from the secretary ship of the Liverpool Waiters' Association. The reasons for this sten will be found in an advertisement in another column. We understand Mr. Edwards does not intend to abandon the project. He purpo,fs opening a Registry office for female servants, to which ho will attach a library, and other advantages of a social and moral character. Mr. Edwards will be glad of any assistance which the ladies of Liverpool can render him, in perfecting his scheme of a Servant's Regist r y, f ree of all the defects and abuses of the present existing system, TRADE REPORT.-MONDAY.
