Major-Osa Hay, who had some hours before been discharged
from Southwark police-court, was brought up on a
warrant granted is February 1848, charged with having
neglected to pay • cabman his fare. The cabman was in
attendance, and elaimeda compensation for five days' attend-
ance at the court, 6e. 4d. the tare, and the expenses of two
summonses and a warrant, 11. 3e. 4d.—Mr. Hay said that as
the man had been a long time without his money, he was
quite willing to agree to the arrangement proposed, and
offered to pay the money in a fortnight. —The cabman
objected to this, as he had had • great deal of trouble to Sad
him out, and he might get out of the way again.—Mr. Jar-
dine said they had better go out and talk the matter over,
but he could be no party to the delay, the money must be
paid at gam—After some delay the money was paid, and

ordered the prisoner to be brought up again on Fr.day neat,

Cumno AND WOUNDING, AND ATTIMPTIED 80JCIDI.
—George Walker was charm d with cutting and woune:irg
Zacharueh Longman, and he ing afterwards at tempted self. at
struetion. —bin. Ann Lragrnan, the wife of the wounded
man, steed that the prisoner had for some time put lodged
in their house; and about 12 o'clock on the preceding night,
he entered the parlour in which she wee seated with her
husband, and atter remaining there some time in friendly
ennversation, wished them both good night, and retired to
his own apartment. He returned beck, however, in a few
minutes, and eked her in an incited and angry tone, what
she had done with his dog ? She told him that be had taken
the d-g up stairs with him, but tee prisoner vehemently de-
nied her asertion, and with great violence seized hold of
the upper parted her dress. She was struggling to disen-
gage her-elf, when her husband ran forward to her assist-
ance, and the prisoner immediately released his hold of her,
and, making a rush at her husband, suddenly drew some
sharp instrument across his forehead. Observing a stream
of blood gush from the wound. she hastened to the door, and
celled loudly for the police, and while doing so, her
husband staggered past her, and fell down in the
street. The prisoner, in the saran time, retreated
into his own room upon the second floor, and
a razor, very much stained a ith bled, which be had dropped
upon the landing, was afterwards handed to her by a female
lodger, who picked it up. Oa the arrive' of the police her
husband war conveyed to the house of • surgeon in the
neighbourhood, who directed his instant removal to St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, where be remains, incapable of
stirring. Police constable 11.ines stated that he war on
duty in the City-road, when he heard cries of " Murder,"
and " Police," and upon hastening to the spot, be found
the injured man supported in the arms of two men in front
of his house, and bleeding profusely from a frightful wound
in the temple. Oa inquiring who bad inflicted the injury,
he was directed to a WOG, upon the second floor, where he
found the prisoner lying upon his bed, with his head hanging
over the side, and bleeding from an extensive wound in the
left side of the neck, which be stated he had inflicted
himself with a razor, end flung the instrument out of the
window. There was a large quantity of blood upon the fluor,
and the prisoner's clothes and also the bedding were cons-
plet, ly saturated with it. Hr. Coward, the divisional sur-
geon, war called in, and while drawing the wound war told
that the razor was a blunt instrument or he should have
dono for himself effectually. Police actable Cox gave cor-
roborative evidence, and added that, upon asking the pri-
soner the cause of his attack upon his landlord, he replied
the " he was very sorry for having injured the old man so
much, as he tad not given him the slightest provocation;
but with regard to himself, he did not care for his own life,
and should repeat the attempt upon the first opportunity
that offered." The primmer was remanded till Tuesday.

MARLBOROUGH - STREET. A Brute WITH A
MALLKT.—Eduard Bonney, landlord of the Fitzroy Arms,
Ctipseine.street, was charged with having endangered the
life of Bennett Endean, by striking him a blow on the head
with a mallet.—A police constable arid he was called upon
to go into the prisoner'. house in consequence of something
that had occurred there on Wednesday the 10th inst. He
found the potman before the bar bleeding profusely from a
wound in the head. A surgeon was sent for, who attempted
to dregs the wounded men's head, but the potman tore off
the bandages, and was eventually removed to the hormital.—
Police.constable Simm said he took the prisoner into
custody. The prisoner said he had struck the potman, and
he was sorry for it.—A certificate was produced from the
hospital, which described the patient as in great
danger.—Mr. Bingham immediately proceeded to the
hospital with Mr. Bishop, one of the clerks, and
took the wounded man's deposition. It was as fol.
lows:—I am potman at the Fitzroy Arm., Clipatone.
street. Last Wednesday, I had done my work, and there
were two or three men lett in the tap-room, and I took a
share of two or three pots of beer with them. I was called
in, and my master said he thought I was drinking. I said I
was not pine to drink to hurt myself, and that if he did not
like it he could pay me my wages a week forward, es 1 was
there a weekly servant. My master said he would not pay
use either back or leeward a week's wages. I then said I
would stop out the we.k, and would insist on his paying me.
I then went into the parlour, and was again called at the
bar, when my mistress began at toe. I told her I did not
want to speak to her, as master was my master, and he, was
under petticoat government I said I ehould not trouble
myself to speak to mistress at all. Then master took •
mallet from a little cupboard, and he smashed my head with
it. I was senseless. I don't know if he gave me more than
one blow. I did not see the mallet on the counter before
I received the blow.—Mr. Bingham refused to accept
bail, but remanded the prisoner for a week.—Yesterday,
a second certificate was presented from the Middlesex
Hospital, which was of a more favourable character, as
it stated that the potman was in no imminent danger,
and that in a few data he woual he able to attend in court,
to give evithuee. The prisoner's elicitor applied to have
his client admitted to bail. Mr. Justice Coleridge had stated
the law on the subj. ct of bail, rem which it appeared, that
the graving or refusing of bail ought to have no reference
to the guilt or innocence of the accused party, or to the cha-
racter of the crime; hut to the probability or improbability
of the party surrendering himself to take his trial. Now, he
apprehended in the present raw there could be no reasonable
doubt that the prisoner would meet the charge at the see-
sions.—Mr. Bingham admitted the prisoner to bail, himself
in 5001., and two sureties in 2501. each.—Bail wan immedi-
ately tendered and accepted.
SOUTH WA RIC .—A VOLOPITARY ACCCBBIi.-111r.PAilip
Hay, charged with obtaining good. under false pre-
teases from tradesmest in the district of this court, on the
preceding day, attended to answer any charge which
might be preferred against him. The accused was
accompanied by his father, Majlien. Hay.—Mr. Cotting-
barn inquired whether there were any persons in attendance
to make any charges against the accused. On the previous day
• person named Brooker hod stated that Mr. Hay had ob-
tained goods of various tradesmen under an assumed name,
and had also plurdered his ready-turniebed apartments. The
magistrate said he was ready to bear any evidence which
might be adduced against the accused, but if penis were
not in attendance he should discharge him forthwith, and, if
he was given into custody without just grounds by Brooker,
he had his remedy against that person —Brooker stood for-
ward and laid that he apprised Mr. Sparrow, the brush-
maker, of Stamford-street, from whom the prisoner ob-
tained a quantity of bristles, under the assumed name of
Commodore Henry, and pr 'mined • large order of the same
description of article fur the use of the navy ; but although
that individual promised to he percent at the examination he
was not is attendance.—Mr. Cottingham ; lathe panne pre-
, sent from whom it was alleged on the previous clar,:he accused
had plundered articles out of his ready-furnished apartments ?
Brooker said that he also notified to that party the fact of
' his having the accused in cost n',) but still he did not appear ;
that he (Brooker) was strongly of opinion that the wit-
neesee had been tampered with.—The prisoner inveighed
apnea Brooker, and declared that that person's only motive
in giving him ism custody we, for the purpose of extorting
money for him.—Mr. Cottingliarn inquired how Brooker
became acquainted with the accused, and his reply was that
it was • most unfortunate acquaintance for him—that he
met him casually at a tavern, and we, imposed upon by his
describing that he held a high official appointment under
government, and had prorated to we his influence in ob-
taining a situation f c him. That he (Brooker) was com-
pletely thrown off his guard in the specious manners and
appearance of the prisoner, and believed everything
he told him, and continued the acquaintance until he
was almost ruined by him.—The accused declared
Brooker had uttered the most gross falsehoods through-
out, and that he would make him suffer seriously
for his infamous conduct is this affair.—Mr. Coning-
ham said it certainly eppeand as if the man Brooker
had recourse to such • an p as he had taken from malice or •
desire of revenge on his part for some supposed injury he
considered he had auffered mom the accused • but upon the
present occasion the prisoner had come forward agreeably to
the terms of the emplane" he entered into to meet the
charge, and it no prosecutor appeared he was justly en-
titled to his immediate discharge.—Brooker said that he had
acted on public grounds in the affair, to prevent people from
being swindled and plundered of their property, and that it
was untrue he did it for tee peewee of extorting money.
Although the accused might now escape from justice, it
would not be long before he would be again in eustodv.—
Mr. Cottingham said that there were no grounds for du; ea
eused's further detention, and that he was, therefore, dis-
charged—The accused, however, was no soener liberated
than he was ,gain taken into custody on • warrant granted
from Bow-street, to which court he was immediately taken.
THAMES.—Hontetet.—Charley Fraskah was charged
with killing and slaying Samuel Salter. When the prisoner
was first brought up on the charge, Salter was still alive at
the London Hospital, but without any hopes of recovery.
Yesterday, about two o'clock, he expired. As the death
erase out of a struggle in the dark between the decea-rd and
the prisoner, there was no direct evidence, but Richard Salter,
uncle to the deceased, stated that on Sunday morning the
primmer came to him, and told him that hie nephew was

without reason, and a fight had ensued on the stairs. After
this they set to again in the parlour, and afterwards down
stairs, where they had four or five rounds in the dark.
The prisoner then went up to bed, whilst Salter kept crying
out and challenging the prison. rto fight. The latter then
came down Spin, and a couple more rounds were fought in
the kitchen, it being dark all the time. After that they both
went to bed. In the morning the deceased came down and
said to Freakish that he had done for him, but that he would
not hurt a hair of his head. He was then taken to the hoe-
pital.—Mr. Day, house surgeon at the hospital, stated that
when he law the descend he had several severe contains
over the head, arms, and upper parts of the body. The in-
juries inflicted could not be produced b 7 blows at
the naked hand, but must have been inflicted by
• cudgel. The body was fearfully injured, and
witness was sure that death was occasioned by the injaries
from the marks of violence exhibited. The prisoner, who
seemed to have sustained no injury, cross-examined Mr. Day,
with • view to elicit that death might have been occadoned
or mainly accelerated by the intemperate habits of the de-
ceased; but Mr. Day adhered to his original opinion. The
case was remanded until Monday next, is which interval a
port martens examination will be hold; the prisoner eaprem-
inig himself detennined,on the next hearing, to have medical
witnesses ready for his defence.

The Russian financial transaction with the Bank of France
continues to absorb the attention, and to perplex the com-
prehension, of moneyed as well as political circle, in the city.
As in must transactions in which governments are concerned
mums complex and far-fetched are assigned, when really the
affair would be readily resolvable by the commonest prin-
ciple of every-day dealing between individuals. It may be
granted, however, so not only a possible but a very probable
hypothesis that the Emperor of all the Rumba embarks in
no manner of action without a political, or politically de-
signing, motive isa one of the incentives. But it is not therefore
to be inferred that he is:insensible to, or unactuated by, other
lees ambitious, and more mercenary consideration.. Some con-
fusion prevails also as to the es pacity in which the Emperor be-
comes a lender instead of a borrower, in which character his
govern= nt has usually appeared. It is assumed in some
quarters that the two millions sterling of the loan must come
out of the public treasury, of which the Czar, it is conceived.
disposes at will. It is again dubiou.ly suggested in other
quarters that the sovereign, individually rich, although the
state may be only able to square aer:unts between revenue
and expenditure, must have lent the money out of his own
coffers. The latter opinion carries much the greater appear-
ante of probability with it. There is ne European sove-
reignty where the crown domains are so vast as in Russia.
The inhabitants, more or less serfs, located upon them
count, not by millions but by tens of millions. In number
they exceed the populations of some of the states of first
order in Europe. The almost countless tenantry contribute a
sort of capitation tax to the state treasury; but of the pro-
ducts of their industry, the property taxable for the benefit
of one liege lord, we lave no knowledge, and can have none
save loosely attempted approximate evaluations, which convey
little real information. The imperial domains' reserves are,
like the details of • private estate, shut up from all "
ayes but those of the steward, administrator, and the lord
of the fee. Attached to the imperial house there are
the lands of the " apanages" in addition, on which some
three millions of souls, that is tenantry, are located. With
such illimitable poasessions it becomes doubtful whether the
personal resources of the Emperor may not be almost equal
to the revenue of the sty e, which may be estimated at some
twenty seven or eight millionssterling. Tin re can be notbiug
unreasonable therefore in supposing that a money transaction
of two millions sterling would be for the sole account of the
Emperor in his individual and not imperial character. The
hard money may be taken from the Boerd of Dispatch cats.
blished for the supervision of public credit, but only against
values of a solid nature deposited on imperial account. And,
after all, but little specie or bullion will pare, if any at all,
seeing that France must have to pay to Russia yet as mach
or more than that amount for corn.

The sudden and =external negotiation of the Book of France with
