POLICE.-YESTERDAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—AssAuLT.—Thomaa and
Henry Griffiths were charged with having committed a 1;
violent assault on John Wayland.—Mr. Woolf attended for a
the complainant ; Mr. Lewis for the defendants.—Mr.
Woolf said that the defendants lived in Wells-street with
their uncle, a butcher. The complainant formerly paid his
addresses to their sister, but had himself broken off the
acquaintance some time ago. Since that event the defendant
had frequently been at his house threatening to knock his
" eyes out," and making use of other threats of violence.
The complainant, however. being desirous of avoiding a
breach of the peace, avoided the defendants; but on Satur-
day last, he had business in Wells-street, and being obliged
to pass their uncle's shop he was seen by the de-
fendants, and the result was the assault now com-
plained of—The complainant was then called, and said,
on Saturday last, about nine o'clock, he had occasion to
pew the shop in which the defendants *erred in Wells-street,
and on his return he was followed by the defendants, one of
whom gave a whistle. He turned round, and was confrented
by the defendants and others of their party. Just before
this he had received a blow from Henry, one of the defend-
ant., which he parried, and went on his way. After the
whistle was heard he was again struck violently between the
eves by Thomas Griffiths. He was knocked down, and as
threats were used of further violence, he called for the
police. One of the defendants' party called out that the
complainant bad got enough for the present, and that as the
police had been called they had better " hook it." Com.
plainant declared that he had not spoken to the defendants
that evening, nor said anything to provoke an assault.—
In cross examination the complainant admitted that he had
been summoned to Marylebone police-court for annoying
Miss Griffith,, and had voluntarily entered into his own re
cegnizances to keep the peaty.—A witness was called to
prove the assault. He said he saw the defendant, Thomas
Griffiths, give the complainant a blow on the eyes, so tre-
mendous in its effects, that he would not have received
it for ten pounds. The blow app..ared to take away the
complainant's senses for a short time—The defendant,
Henry, said the complainant came up to him and his brother
on Saturday night, and, alluding to theirsister, said, " What,
madam's off, is she ? There will soon be an increase in the
family, then ?" This was the provocation that led to the
moult. The complainant for some time had been in the
habit of using offensive language in reference to his sister.—
Mr. Hardwick said these was very little doubt of an assault
having occurred, and, under all circumstances, he thought
this a very fitting case to be sent to the sessions.—Decision
accordingly.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Hatt V. 1) 1. YRELL.-THE DRIVING A HORSE WITH A
BIT NOT SUFFICIENTLY STRONG AMOUNTS TO DRIVINO
HIM IMPROPERLY AND NROLIGENTLY.-Mr. Whitehurst,
Q.C., moved for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause
why the verdict in this ease, which passed for him at the
sittings after last term, should not he set aside, and a non-
suit entered. The action was brought to recover damages
for the injury done to the carriage of the plaintiff by a colli-
sion with the cabriolet of the ddendant, alleged, in the de-
claration, to have been caused by the negligent and improper
driving of the defendant. The evidence showed that the
accident had been caused, not by driving merely unskilful,
but by the fact that the bit used by the defendant was not
sufficiently powerful to enable him to restrain his horse,
which was a fretful animal, and at the time had got fright-
ened and unmanageable. He contended that this evidence
did not support the allegation of negligent and improper
driving, and that the plaintiff ought therefore to have been
nonsutted. _

Mr. Justice Patteson was of opinion that a man who un-
dertook to drive a horse in a public street was bound to
provide himself with the materials for driving properly and
carefully ; and therefore that evidence which showed him
not to have had the means of driving properly and carefully,
necessarily showed that he had tkiven improperly and mai-
gently.—Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Erie were
of the same opinion. The application, therefore, was refused,

NOT GOING TO TRIAL.—Mr. Crowder moved for a rule,
calling on the plaintiff, who bad brought an action in form
pauperis, to show cause why he should net be " dispaupered "
and pay the costs. It appeared that three several notices of
trial had been given, and on each occasion the record had
been withdrawn. By a rule of court it is provided that any
person riming in forma. paurris, and not going to trial. may
be called on to show cause why he should not be "du

THE INFLUX OP IRISH PAUPERS is still bi•terly CONS-
plair.ed of in Liverpool. The evil is said to Mauve at • rate
quite alarming. Every day the doors of the parish offline
are completely blockaded by starving objects, or by pretend-
ers to destitution, seeking relief. On Monday, the 4th inst.,
of casual poor, chiefly Irish, and many only just arrived,
there were relieved (with breed and soup tickets), of men,
women, and children, 3,233 individuals ; on Tuesday,
3.237 ; on 'Wednesday, 4,511 ; on Thursday, 4,692 ; on
Friday, 5,426; and on Saturday, the 9th, B,362—making for

COLONUL.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—ADELAIDE.—There are
advice' from this colony to the 2Gtb of May. The comple-
tion of the South Australia Mining Alsocia,ion's decd of
settlement made quite an event in Adelaide, and, coupled
with the highly favourable reports from " Stock's Shaft,"
had a tendency to influence the market value of ',arcs. It
was contemplated by the government to erect a lighthouse
in lieu of the lightship till then in use at the bar. An offer
had been made to the government to erect the lighthouse
with suitable apartments for the pilots, on the bar, near the
moorings of the Teasel, for the sum of 3,0001., and an estimate
was to be laid before the council, with a view to its being
carried into effect. The present vessel had already bail a
large sum expended on her L.r repairs.

St. N.eholaa' Church, Yarmouth, during the progress of
repairs now being made. On venturing the gallery, which
ws pineecl against the wall cf the south aisle and partially
hid three noble windows, some nf the plaster with which the
wall had been covered gave way, and exposed in several
places some mutilated cruarnentol stone work which had be-
longed to the chambriu rr sloe chapels, which iometime
previous to the Deformation were very numerous in this
church. On carefully removing the phis. er antler the win-
dow nearest the south transept, three niches were found,
divided by very elegant early Eaglish clustered columns.
The two first contain a piscine (with two quatrefol ,coups),
and an Aumbry. Further to the west is a large niche sur-
mountid by a crocheted =tinny very fir.ilar in shape and
"ire to that over the "Prior', Tomb" in the north Male,

which enclosed these chapels was discovered. It is richly
carved on one aide end painted with a diavr pattern on the

sustained but little injury. Some joints of cliesrut wood,
curiously ornamented with gilding, which no doubt formerly
decorated some part of these chapels, wu also foiled under
the niLlem flooring in a perfectly sound state. No monu-

tl erctore to be feared that they must have been rciboved nod
destroyed when the gallery and modern pews were erected.
Another niche has also been discovered in the some

been destroyed, and only half the atone bacon and tho drain

MANNERS r. FURZE.—PARINMISRLP llterPres.—Mr.
Roupell moved, on behalf of the plaintiff in this clue, for a
receiver and manager to conduct the affairs of a brewery,
called the King's Arms Brewery, situate iu Old Castle-
street, Whiteehapel, which has for some years been carried
on by the plaintiff, Arthur Manners, and tho defendant,
John Furze, in partnership together; and for an injunction
to restrain Furze from interfering with the partnership
assets, and from inducing customers of the King's Arms
Brewery to resort to a brewery called the St. George's
Brewery, lately estanlished by the defendant's son, John
Nokes Futz:., in Old Church.street, Whitechapel, under the
firm of John Furze and Co., but which it seas alleged by the
plaintiff wan, in reality, the concern of the defendant, John
Fume. The cue for the plaintiff was not concluded.

TTACKE T. AO TO THIS REMOVAL
or °Tarim% —An injunction was granted in this case on
the 9th of October last, to restrain tLe defendant, Thomas
Dash, and others, from dredging, fishing for, and removing
the oysters belonging to the plaintiff, in a fishery near Fah
mouth, of which the plaintiff was the tenant, under a lease
front Sir Richard Vyvyan, and also to restrain the defendant
from removing from his own oyster grounds a quantity of
oysters amounting to 75 bushels, which he admitted, by his
answer, to have taken from the plaintiff's oyster grounds, and
deposited in his own.—When the injunction was granted,
the court directed that an action at law should be
brought to try the plaintiff's right.--Mr. J. Parker
and Mr. Pigott now moved to dissolve so much
of the injunction as restrained the defendant from
removing the 75 bushels of oysters from his own beds,
upon payment into court of the suns of 18/. 155., the esti-
mated value of the oysters. and it was contended that, as the
time allowed by law for selling oysters would shortly expire,
the valor of the oysters would be entirely lost to all parties
before the action could be tried, and, under the existing in-
junction, the defendant could not even remove his own
oysters without committing a breach of the injunction, in
consequence of the seventy-five bushels being intermixed.
Mr. Stuart appeared to oppose the application, unless the
defendant would pay the costs of the present motion.
The Vice-Chancellor said the defendant appeared to think
that this portion of the injunction ought to be dissolved, in
consequence of his having mixed up the oysters taken from
the plaintiff 's beds with his own; but he did not think this
could be considered any reason, as the defendant, by such
conduct, had rendered it the more difficult to comply with
the injunction, supposing it should be made perpetual. He
did not tee there was any evidence to prove that 18/. 15s.
was equal to the value of the oysters; but if the defendant
was desirous of having his application ;minted, it most be
upon the terms of paying the costs.—The order was then
made, the defendant consenting to pay the costs of the
motion.

FLOGGING IN THE NAVY.

Mr. HUM E moved for a return of the number of persona
flogged in the British navy in each of the years 1845 and
1846, specifying the name of the ship, the offence, the sen-
tence, and the number of lashes inflicted. Also for an
abstract of the total number of corporal punishments in the
navy, and the total number of lashes inflicted, in each year
up ts the3lst day of December, 1846 (in continuation of
Parliamentary Paper, No. 309, of session 1845).
Admiral BOWLES objected to giving the names of the
ships in which corporal punishments bad been inflicted. He
admitted that as a general principle much mitigation of such
punishments might safely be introduced into the naval ser-
vice. (Heir, hear.)
Mr. WARD was ready to assent to the motion. He had
no doubt that where corporal punishment had been justly
inflicted public opinion would always justify the officer who
had inflicted it.

Mr. FOX MAULS also captained his readiness to assent
to the production of the returns required. While he thought
that the power to inflict corporal punishment could not be
withdrawn altogether from the authorities in either the
military or naval sawing, be considered that this desaip•
don of punishment might be very oonsiderably limited.
The returns were then ordered.

thereby redo,, the cost of private bills.

in all to only 24,0001., consisted of stone, oil., figs, wines, std.
phur, &c., in return fur which Austria received- value to the
amount of 260,0001., consisting mostly of cereals (which, of
course, were not for home consumption, bat for trans-ship-
ment), hare-skins and leather.
Russian-Poland has a large share in the intercourse be-
tween Russia and Austria, and seems especially dependent
on the latter country for salt, receiving 61),0001. worth of that
article annually. The export of wheat from Austria to Po-
land, which is considerable, is regulated solely by the crops
in the latter country, and has vaned during the last few years
from 120,0001. to 20,0001.
The commerce between Austria and Cracow was by na
mesas unimportant, amounting in value to about 300,0001.,
and consisting of cattle, timber, horses, and linen. The
im-
porta from Cracow are estimated at about 50,0001., 12,0001.
being in sine. Cracow was the centre of an extensive smug-
gling trade to Austria, and also to Russia.
We now come toe brunch of the foreign trade of Austria,
interesting not so much on account of its extent as on account
of its value in illustrating truths of economical science, by
pleeing an entirely free and a highly restrictive system of
commercial policy in direct connexion and contrast. We
allude to its commerce with Switzerland. But this subject
must be reserved for another article.

Brown, 42, were indicted for stealing a coat from the house
of Mr. Jonathan Lepton, a member ot the Society of Friends,
residing iu the Blackfriars-road. A month ago the prisoners
called upon the prosecutor, and solicited assistance for Wil-
son, who produced a cet tificate of the Margate Sea Bathing
Infirmary, purporting to he signed by the governor and
secretary, directing her admission. They made a very plau-
sible tale, but the prosecutor being somewhat suspicious only
gay, them sixpence. They went back and asked for more
money, which was refused them ; and on their leaving the
hall, Brown was seen to take • great coat off a peg, and juat as
they were quitting the house the prosecutor's housekeeper
stopped them and gave them into custody.—Mr. Parnell, the
governor of the Margate Sea Bathing Infirmary, said that
his signature, as well as the secretary's, was a forgery. Wil-
son had on a former occasion called upon him, but he refused
to assist her—The sentence of the court was, that they be
transported for seven years.

eery waste of time, and I cannot understand why we are
kept in this way.—The Coroner : Because the officer was not
aware tiffs evidence would be required, and besides he had
no time to poeure it.—Juror : Well, then, things ought not
to be done in such 2s hurry ; the body was only found this
morning, and here we are called together to-night, and before
the evidence is half get up. The inquest ought to have
been fixed to-morrow.—Coro4:4 ; The body has been in the
water six days, and it would Lave been in an unfit
state for the jury to view to-morrow night —Juror
(with much warmth) : I say the inquest ought to
have been held tomorrow, instead of keeping us
in this way ; besides, recollect we are not paid for
our services, and the Coroner is, therefore it does not matter
to him—Coroner : If you don't be quiet, I shall fine and
commit you, sir.—Juror I don't care for that ; you can do
no if you please : I am right to maintain my own opinien.—
Coroner : Those observations are very indecent, and I say,
again, if you do not behave yourself, I shall fine and commit
you. No man studies the convenience of the juries more
than I do, and therefore the least they can do is to treat me
with respect —Juror (much excited) Weil, then, if you
comma nee again I must say something, for I won't give in
to anybody.—Coroner : I am surprised you should persist in
those indecent remarks, sir.—Juror : Well, I don't know
that I am wrong.—Coroner : I tell you, sir, you are wrong.
This ended the dispute, and the additional evidence having
been brought forward, a verdict of " Accidental Death" was
recorded.

was refelred to the committee. He saw Mr. James, the

it in our power to report a much improved market for to-

we shall speedily have a fair trade in this branch of buil.

PETITION OF I<I9HT OF
_CATHERINE ROBSON

AND ISABELLA AINSLEY.
The evidence in this intricate ease was renamed yes-
terday. At the sitting of the court it was announced
by Mr. Cooper (one of the oommisioners), with regard
to the question which had arisen as to the sdmiasi-
bility of certain evidence, that the commission being of a
peculiar character, and its object being simply to discover
the truth, the court would not be shackled in its reception of
evidence by any legal rules, but would admit all deecnptione.
A variety of affidavits were then put in, proving a number of
allegations is the petition, and several witserses were ex-
amined, mkose evidence was uninteresting, being upon
minute pain* mimes and dates, itc. The principal wit-
nesses _
veto Wr. Jones, it A., and Mr. Wharton. An ob-
jectioa wO erniesdt• the evidence of Wharton being received,
on the coma that be had, by some private arrangement, an
interest is timulds. Mr. fierjeaut Manning said that by
the net tbe widows of eves partite moat immediately inter-
ested was einimible, sad decided that the objeetien did not
hold good. The evert roe at 4 o'clock, and adjourned to
this day.

Rome, and to make it appear that he alone has broken off
the good intentions of the English and French ministers.
Such is not the fact. All the points affecting the original
cause of intervention had been arranged between them and
the government of General Row ; it was the attempt to
force the question of navigating the rivers that broke off the
negotiations. The armistice was also agreed to by Generals
Roses and Oribe, but refused as inadmissible by the govern-
meet of Monte Video. Your informant don't say why it was
inadmissible. I will tell you—because it does not suit
the MonteVidean loan jobbers to open the trade of the river.
Keep on the blockade, say they, and we shall continue to re-
alise large dividends on the "customs mortgages : " take it
sit, and we no longer tan the commerce of Buenos Ayres.
This is the real game they have played all along, and they
still want to play it. As for the greater consistency of Count
Waleski over Lord Howdea, it only amounts to this, that the
cue follows in the wake of bis predecessor, Baron Defaudis ;
whilst the other acts independently, and shows his determi-
nation no longer to be humbugged either by MonteVidean
rapacity or French intrigue. I doubt the accuracy of your
informant's statement, " that Count Waleski's assurance that
he would not raise the blockade was put on board the
Rattler."—X. Y.—London, Sept. 8, 1847.
CHINA.—The Lirerpool IV,nea publishes the fol-
lowing awful intelligence, purporting to be from Canton, of

night ; so the Chinese say."

occasioned

general heaviness noticed may have been -__
by the sales, for money, of some, day by day, of
greater or lesser extent, preparatory thereto; the
course of the markets having, in various instances,
doubtless induced parties to withhold from the dis-
posal of their funds to the last moment.
The celebrated fair at Frankfort-on-the-Maine eels-
menced on Saturday last, and it appears, from the
continental papers, that the preparations making for
it had caused more than usual bustle anti animation,
the railroads and steam vessels affording increased
facilities for the attendance of travellers.

intimated that they did not object to haring a central board

compel them to raise or lower their dues as he thought

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE AN ADJUTANT.—Another
attempt has been made in Ireland to usuainate an adjutant
of a regiment. The ektim in this case was Adjutant Graham,
of the 67th Foot, at present stationed in Cork, and the in-
tended assassin is a soldier in the regiment, a natire of Lan-
euhire. Seeing the adjutant crow; the barrack-square, on
Monday, the culprit went deliberately to his room, loaded
his musket, descended to the lobby, took aim at the
adjutant, and tired. Fortunately the shot fell a yard from
it, mark. The regiment is principally composed of recruits,
and the delinquenthesheen only nine months in the serrioe.
Ensign and Adjutant Graham has risen from the ranks.

MARYLEBONE COUNTY COURT.

Before A. Amos, Pan., Juge.
CAUTION TO DERTORS.—THE NEW SYSTEM OP IMPRI-
SONNINT.—On the judge taking his seat he begged of all pre-
sent to take notice that in every case were default was made in
obeying the orders of the court he should for the future send
the parties so disobeying to theliouse of Correction,where they
would have only the gaol allowance, and be compelled to
wear the prison dress. There they would be treated, not as
debtors, but as criminals. In the course of the day a com-
mittal took place.—The plaintiff, in the month of March
last, obtained a judgment against the defendant, who was
ordered to pay the debt by instalments of 10s. per month.
The first instalment he paid, but neglected the others, and a
judgment summons was taken out against him, which came
on for hearing yesterdays—ln answer to the court, the
plaintiff said the defendant had not only been in full employ
since the order was made upon him, but he had been able to
pay for the hire of horses and men, and could have paid his
debt easily, if he thought proper.—The defendant did not
deny that he had paid for the hire of carts, horses, and men,
but ho bad no means of complying with the order of the
court.—The Judge committed him for a fortnight to the
House of Correction, where he said he would be treated as a
criminal.—The defendant wished to be allowed to pay the
money, saying be would sell his horse and pay the money
immediately.—The judge, however, refused to allow him,
and the defendant was taken into custody by one of the
bailiffs of the court; but if he could satisfy the plaintiff, he
would not send him to prison.—The plaintiff said be had
his doubts about defendant ever paying him any money,
and the judge said he could not interfere.
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Before Mr. Serjeant Adams.
LORD FRANKFORT'S CASE.—Lodge Raymond Frankfort,
known as Lord Frankfort de Montmorency, surrendered in
court to answer an indictment for assaulting Robert Hall on
the 4th bun. The prosecutor (porter at 64, Bondarreet)
was pleasing down !sew Bond-street on the 4th inst. when
the defendant accused him of having spat in his face. Pro-
secutor denied it, upon which Lord Frankfort spat in his
(prosecutor's) face, and dared him to repeat it. Ile then
spat in Lord Frankfort's face. this lordship thereupon set
to belabouring him with his ti-ts, and when he attempted to
get away he applied a heavy walking-stick, with which he
inflicted a revere blow on prosecutor's right temple.—What
called upon for his defence, the defendant, through his legal
adviser (Mr. Wilde), wished to have a short interview with
the prosecutor, This was done, and some arrangement being
come to, the defendant left his case in the hands of the court,
which fined him Is., and he was discharged.
