dents, to let Mr. Rose examine the books, and to give him
all the information he required ; those books, and that infor-
Endo' haring been withheld only because the applintion
had been made through an attorney in the fint instance.—
Mr. Rose's solicitor said that both he and his client ha l ap-
plied for the books and the information, both personally
and by letter, but they received no satisfaction, and to the
last letter not even an answer was returned.
Alderman COPELAND said Mr. Bramwdl's proposition
came too late. The Aldermen sat in that court
to see justice done. The complainant had applied
for what the blnd of' Mr. Rochas, senior, showed
he was entitled to. The Court must proceed with the
in • tion.—Mr. Rose was then sworn, and examined
by the er: He stated in detail what the memorial
contained in substance, and stated that he employed both
Mr. Roches, sen., and Mr. Roches, jun., in the purchase
of the shares, and he paid for them on the presumption that
the purehaw was a bond fide one.
The REColtDEE,perceiving that Mr. Roches, jun., had net
entered into bond as a sworn broker, observed upon that
fact, and said that the tickets were signed Roches and Son,
of which he desired an explanatien.—Mr. Bramwell said it
would be sbeurd to attempt to conceal the fact that Mr.
Rashes, jun., was not a sworn broker. It was decidedly
wrong in that gentleman to act as a broker without being
one ; but he had acted in ignorance, and, therefore, as far
' as that was concerned, he was at the mercy of the Court.
That circumstance, however, had nothing to do with the
subject of the compiaint, which was ready to be rectified by
the exhibitlen of the books.—A long erns -examination of
Mr. Rose was then commenced by Mr. Bramwell upon the
peculiar transactions that had taken place.
Lieutenant. Colonel Bateman stated that he accompanied
Mr. Rose to the office of Roches and Son, and gave a detail
of the conversation which took place on the subject of the
purchase of the shares, and refusal to give the necessary in
formation, or to show the books containing accounts of the
dealings. Ultimately the court came to the following duel-
sion:

That the City solicitor be instructed to put Mr. Boehm senior%
bond in suit kr permitting his •CC to act as limber without having
him admitted, and for refusing to give the information which he wee

the oMee of a broker be postponed until that defendant Mould have an
opportunity to appear before the court. And, also, that the city sen-
ator be instructed to proceed modrist Mr. Bos.km jun. for having
acted as a broker without having been admitted.
. The case, as "night be expected, exalted a greet deal of in-
termit and curiosity.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—It is stated that Mr. Mack-
intosh, the eentractor and army accoutrement maker, has
undertaken to float and bring off the Greet Britain
from her position in Dundrum bay. His plan and offers
were accepted, in preference to tticee of several ingenious
competitors by the committee of the proprietary of that ill-
fated vessel.

SUPPOSED LOSS OF A STEAMER.—For several days
•feeling of the deepest anxiety has prevailed amongst persons
interested in the Rotterdam trade, relative to the Netherland
Steam Navigation Compary's steamer, the Loch Ryan,
Captain Larkins, trading between London, Rotterdam, and
Hamburgh, which there is every reason to believe foundered
during the late tremendous gale. The unfortunate steamer,
we are informed, was a vessel of nearly 200 tom burthcn,
and has been, for the last twelve months, engaged in con-
veying goods and cotton from the various Dutch ports to
England. She sailed from Ilamlandsluis, on the north side
of the river Maas, fifty miles from Rotterdam, on the even-
ing of the 7th instant, having on board between 80 and 100
head of cattle, with several Dutch drovers and graziers, who
with the crew were supposed to amount to twenty persons.
It should be stated it was her second voyage from Messina-
sluis, but the commander had a perfect knowledge of the
west, having made repeated trips to Heligoland and other
ports to the northward of the coast At the time of her ,
steaming out of the river Maas, the weather was stormy with
a tremendous head-wind and heavy sea, which towards mid-
night increased to such an extent as to drive the vessel back.
The master TM into Helvoetsluis for shelter, and there re-
mained till the 9th, when she again put to lea under a belief'
that the storm had subsiied. It was otherwise, and proved
that severest weather known for years off that coast. Not
having been heard of since. the general belief is that the un-
fortunate steamer foundered in the course of the succeeding
night, and that all on board perished. The General Steam
Navigation Company's steamer Rainbow, and others of the
company's steamers, have arrived from Rotterdam, and ea
the passage home passed a large quantity of dead

Row OVER BT_a CART.--011 Saturday afternon, Mr. Robert
gipping, aged 27 years, a commereial traveller, was in the
set of crowing the carriage-way King William-street,
with a brown paper panel under his arm, at the time a
heavily-laden cart was passing. He dropped the parcel, and
in attempting to recover it he dipped, and fell under the elf-
wheel, which passed over his right leg, crushing the lower
part of the limb quite flat. He was extricated as soon as
poosible by the foot passengers, and carried to a surgeon's ;
but hit injuries were of such a maim, that it was necessary
to carry him on • police-stretcher to the accident-ward of
St. Thomas's Hospital, where the medical officers found
they must resort to amputation, as the leg was so much
crushed. His body was likewise much contorsi. The
driver, to whom no blame is attached, is in cutody.—Fars

As soon as he could be extricated it was found he was suf-
fering front some onions injury, and on being carried to the
Westminster Hospital, one of hie thighs was pronounced to

be arztenairitly fractured. It was secured as moat as posaible
by Jgr. Wilzibm.e, the house-surgeon, and he is going on
favourably.— WIFE AND HrSBAND.—Jane Nicholls, re-
siding in John's-baildinge, Westminster, was admitted into
the above hospital, early on the morning of Saturday, having
her right hand so dreadfully lacerated that amputation was
deemed necessary. The cause of it appears to be that she had
some dispute with her husband, and, in a moment of passion,
flew at the window, and smashed to pieces eight or ten
squares of glass. The flow of -blood front the numerous
gashes, which had separated many of the smaller veins, was
described as being dreadful. At any rate, the pain she must
be snaring will teach her for the future of some less danger-
ous mode of revenge. At present no dangerous symptoms
have presented themselves.
INQUESTB.-MELANCHOLT SUICIDE THROUGH SE-
Docetosr.—Late on Friday night, Mr. \V. Payne, the City
coroner, held an inquest at the Blue Pig, St. Mary Axe on
the body of Mary Greene, an interesting female, aged 16
years, who pot a period to her existence by hanging her-
self on Friday morning, under the following melancholy
circumstances:—Eliza Chitty, nursemaid in the service
of Mr. Wilkinson, of No. 11, Jeffries-square, dosed—
Deceased was my fellow *errant. She had lived in the
family about six months. Saw her last alive at nine o'clock
on Friday morning. She got up at half-past seven, and
went about her usual work. Missed her shortly after nine
o'clock, and upon going into the store room saw deceased
suspended from the water-pipe. There was a ladder near.
She had evidently got upon the ladder, and tied the rope
by which she was suspended to the pipe, and afterwards
thrown the ladder down. Witness immediately gave an
alarm, and a man came in and nit deceased down. A sur-
geon was sent for, but she was quite deed. Can't say who
! her sweetheart was. Knew she had one, as she had told
witness she was very fond of him, and that she could not
exist without him.—Mr. T. Brown, surgeon, St. Mary
! Axe, deposed to being called on Friday morning to are de-
ceased. Tried the natal remedies to restore animation, but
she was quite dead. In reply to a question from the coro-
ner, Mr. Brown said deceased had been recently seduced.—
City policeman Tibbins, 645, said he was on duty in St.
Mary Axe on Friday afternoon, when a person at Mr.
Medona's printing-office asked him if it was true that a
young woman of Mr. Wilkinson's had hung herself.
Witness replied in the affirmative. The person then
said, " My reason for asking you is because one of
our men has been boasting that he took her out on
Tuesday last, and seduced her." Witness had made in-
quiry, and found that deceased was out on Tuesday
' with a man of the name of Bowen, who is a compo-
sitor.—Catherine Knight, St. Mary Axe, knew deceased.
Saw her last alive on Thursday night, when she came to
witness's shop. She said she was very much distressed in
mind. Witncm asked her the reason, when she said she
had been keeping company with a young man, whom she
said she had since found to be a married :can. That some-
thing had occurred which would prevent her from seeing
her parents again. The young man she alluded to is Mr.
Bowen, a compositor, in the service of Mr. Medona, Bt.
Mary Axe.—The coroner here sent for the man Bowen.
Upon his arrival, Mr. Payne said, I have sent for you that
you may, if you can do so, contradict the statements that
have been made. We are told that you have been in the.
habit of this unfortunate young woman out lately, and
that you did so on Tuesday last, and then seduced her ; and
she, from fear of her disgrace, has put an untimely end to
her existence.—Bowen : 1 positively deny it • juror :
Have you ever seduced her ?—Bowen (smiling) : To be sure
I have.—A juror: Have you any family ?—Bowen : Yes, I
have three children.—A juror 'fhen you are • disgrace to
society. Your object from the first, no doubt, was to seduce
the unfortunate girl. She has hanged herself, and you areas
much her murderer, morally, se if you hung her.—Bowen
attempted to justify his conduct by saying that the girl was
always running after hits.—A Juror regretted that they could
not punish the man Bowen.—After a few minutes delibera-
tion, the jury returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity,
produced by the conduct of Bowen."—Dearn AND
MILLI) or A WORIHOUBE.—By Mr. Baker, at the White
Hart, Pennington-street, St. George in the East, on view
of the body of Charles Green, aged 53, who died of destitu-
tion. Emma Green, deceased's daughter, aged 17, said
that she resided with her mother at ho. 103, Pennington-
street, and that her father had been out of work for several
months. The family was supported by witness and her
mother, hot they were frequently in want of necessaries:
her father did not like to apply to the pariah. On Wed-
nesday afternoon her father was seized with vomiting of
blood. Mr. Dale, the parish surgeon, who was sent for by
a neighbour, promptly saw hint. He died the following
day. Mr. Overten, the summoning officer, said, that the
witness and her mother worked very hard to support the
family. which now consisted of eight children, four of whom
were very young. On Wednesday night, when he heard of
their distress, he provided them with three loaves. The
previous night the board ordered four loaves and Is. 6tl. a
week. Verdict—" Natural death." The coroner and jury
gave the widow fifteen fihfiling•—A Stantan CABl.—By
Mr. Baker, at the White Lion, Hunt-street, Mile-end
Old-town, on view of the body of Mary Miles, aged 73.
Her husband was a tailor, and he obtained employ-
ment about two or three days a week, when he could earn
about sixpence a day. They received a loaf and ls. a week
from the Wbitechapel Union, and were mostly supported
by the neighbours. They had a dislike to be separated from
each other, on which account deceased's husband objected to
go into the workhouse, and who stated that they often had
only a penny with which to purchase a dinner. Verdict—
" Natural death."
