Eau intelligence.

from the wound, was immediately conveyed to the Charing
cross Hospital, and placed under the ;medical treatment of
Mr. Adkins, the house surgeon, who, from the depth of the
incisi•ni, at first entertemid but slight hopes of the
s'mil'es recovery. In the meantime, inquiry was made
.it the War-office, and it was ascertained that the office-
keeper. his wife, awl daughter were taking tee at tie time
in the kitchen adjoionit ; hut they dilated all knowledge
of the cireunietanc.. *1 ileTe was a jeeil of bl+od under the
grating, but no instrument was found near, nor anything
which could justify the supposition that the occurrence was
the result of accident. The daughter stated that she heard
a scream, and that she told her mother, at the moment, that
she thought some one must be hurt ; but no further notice
of the circumstance was taken at the time.
It being difficult, therefore, to implicate any one di-
directly in the transaction, it was deemed advisable for all
the parties to attend before a magistrate to answer any ques-
tions which might be put to them upon the subject ; and,
consequently, the offier•keeper at the War-office, with his
wire and daughter, consented to accompany the Inspector
anal Mrs. Lamden to the court. They repeated their igno-
rance of the affair, and, as there was nobody in the house
but themselves at the time, they appeared wholly unable to
account for it, unless it was done accidentally, or by some
person passing: above, who might have maliciously stabbed
the child while in the position already adverted to.
Mrs. Lemden said that her other little girl, who was also
with her, told her that she was near the grating at about
the time, or immediately alter the occurrence, and that she
then saw an eldtrly woman look up through the grating from
bdow, and heard her exclaim, " Be off, you little --"
finishing the sentence with a low word; but the office.
keeper's wife indignantly denied that anything of the kind
did, or could have, happened.
The house.surgeon of the hospital, Mr. Adkins, stated
that the child was now progressing favourably. There
could be no doubt that the child had been stabbed by a
knife, or other sharp instrument. The child was too young
to give any account of the occurrence herself which could
be relied ones evidence ; hut she had told her mother that
she was hint from something being pushed up through
the grating while she was stooping over it.
Mr. Jardine said it seemed quite impossible, at present,
to form any judicial opinion re to the true origin of this
wicked and cruel outrage upon the child. That it was done
by a human hand, and by smite one under the grating,
appeared most probable ; end he could only say that it was
fortunate fur all parties that the child's life was likely to be
spared. As the matter at present stood no further pro-
ceedings could be taken.

ADMIRALTY COURT—YESTERDAY.
run Ds I.VoIIiSOMX.
THE BONAPARTE.—BOTTOURT.
Dr. Lushington gae.2 judgment in this case, which hail
been argued during the present term. Ile said that the
cause had already travelled up to the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council, and had been remitted back to this
court; their lordships beiag of opinion. that the validity of
the bond as affecting the iron which had b.en shipped on
board the vessel could only be impeached on the ground
that there had been no sufficient communication to the
owners and consigners. Their lordships hail therefore sent
back the case for this court to receive further evidence upon
tbe point, to make such final decree as justice might re.
quire, and to determine the question of costs. Ile (Dr.
Luahington) was nut able to understand from the judgment
at the Judicial Committee what was intended by the word.
"sufficient commuuleation." If their loidships meant a
clear intimation that it way the intention of the mater to
raise money on battomry of the ship and cargo, then it was
evident that no such intimation had been given. But
there was another interpretation of the words, namely,
whether the master had made a sufficient communi-
cation as to the disasters which had befallen the
ship, and had a.ked for instructions how to proceed. The
usual practice of the owners of small vessels (like the
Banaparte) as far as he had been able to collect it from
40 years' experience, seemed to be that when they fell
into dif iculties. they chose some house of business at the
port in which their vessels happened to be lying to transact
the whole of their affairs fur %nem. In the case of larger
ships, where the masters were persona of a higher degree of
education, more might be expected ; but the practice with
...tact to small vessels was a. he had de.cribed, and it was
very unusual indeed fur the agents so appointed by the
masters to do more than report the nature of the accident.
On the whole' therefore, he believed their lordships did not
mean that the communication should be in direct terms—

" You mast advance the money, or your cargo will be
hypothecated." To require more than a general communi-
cation of the diluters, and a request for instructious,would
go far to impeach the validity of an immense proportion of
the bonds when it came before this court; mid he (Dr.
Lushington) could certainly not lay down any such
stria eat rule, unless lie hail the clear authority of the Ju-
dicial Committee. The next point wag whether in the present
cue such a communication as he had stated to be necessary

had been made, or attempted to be made, by the master ur
his agents ? Nuw, it appeared that the British consul at
Stronstadt, who was also an agent of Lloyd's, and must be
presumed to be a highly respectable person, had written a
letter, in whi h, as it seemed to him (Dr. Lushington) he
had made every complete and proper disclosure of the state
of the vessel; and that Messrs. Wilainson Whittaker, and
Co., of Hull, the consignees of the iron and the opposers if
the bond, had not deemed it prudent to take any steps in
consequence. Besides this, Messrs. Good, Fluddeo, and
Co., the consignees of certain wood which formed the re•
mining portion of the cargo, hail written ~ut, stating that
neither they nor the other consignees would interfere. Of
course it would be said that Messrs. Wilkinson were not
bound by the unauthorised statement of Messrs. Good, but
that was not the point they were now considering. They
were trying the conduct of the master; and whit, he
would ask, must have been the 'fret of Messrs.
Good's letter upon his mind, or upon the minds
of foreign merch.,nts, especially when it seemed to be
confirmed by the entire silence of Mean. Wilkinson, not-
withstanding that au answer had been specially requested
from them ? It was clear that the opposers had had ample
informatisn as to the state of the vessel, and that on receiv-
ing it they were called upon by the law to take measures
for the protection of their property. That, however, they
had declined to do; and therefore he must pronounce that
there had been a sufficient communication within the mean-

Catherin e Johnrun was charged with having been con-
cerned in robberies of jewels, &c. ;it various times, to the
amount of between 1,3001. and 1,5601., from the premises
of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, jewellers, New Bond-street.
The prisoner and her husband came over from America
to visit the Great Exhibition. The prisoner's husband,
among other shops, visited Messrs. Hunt and Roskell's
extensive jewellery establishment in New Bond-street, and
made occasional purchases. A short time ago, when stock
was taken by Messrs. Hunt and Co , a large quantity of
valuable property was missed, consisting of diamond rings,
diamond necklaces, diamond bracelets, and other expensive
articles of jewellery. Suspicion fell on the prisoner's hus-
band, who still kept up his visits to the shop, and he was
watched. Nothing of a definite nature could be brought
home to him to warrant the police taking him
in custody, but a sufficient amount of evidence
was collected to justify the police in keeping
watch on his movements. About a fortnight ago

the husband of the prisoner left England and 'went io
Paris. Immediately after this event, two 101. notes were
traced to have been paid by Johnson into the British
Bank, where he had opened an account, which notes had
been paid to Johnson by a pawnbroker, named Attenbo-
rough, of Newington-causeway, as part of a sum of 401.
advanced on two diamond rings, which formed part of the
property stolen from Messrs. Hunt and Co. The prisoner
was about to follow her husband hat Friday, but was taken
into custody by Inspector Whall, of the division, at the
South Eastern Railway.
Susan Baker, No. 4, Hanover-terrace, Islington, said
the prisoner and her husband occupied furnished apart-
ments at her house. The prisoner on one occasion showed
her several diamond rings and a bracelet,wbich she said were
worth 1501. The bracelet was in the shape of a snake, with
large diamonds in the head and smaller at the tail.

log of the remission from the Judicial Committee. The
point upon which the cue had been sent back had not been
raised at all upon the pleadings, and perhaps be was wrong
to have allowed it to be argued. The introduction of it in
the irregular manner in which it had been raised wee much
to be lamented, on the sround both of the expense it had
oceasior.ed and of the disgrace it reflected upon the mode of
I pleading in the Court of Admiralty. If this had been the
intended defence, it ought in common justice and is accor-
dance with the soundest principles of law to hare been
stated with sufficient distinctness for the other party to have
taken issue upon it ; and he hoped that if the case should
go back again, the Judicial Committee would be apprised
that these were not the ordinary pleadings adopted in this
court. Be should pronounce for the bond as it afficted the
iron, and he should do so with costs.

Mr. John Hunt said this description answered the make
of • bracelet stolen from his shop.
Alfred Good, jeweller, Islington, produced a snake
bracelet, which he said had been borrowed by Johnson
from him about two months ago.
Mr. Hunt said this bracelet could hardly have been mis-
taken for the bracelet stolen from his stock.

Tai NUOVA
Dr. Lushington gave judgment likewise in this case. The
bond, which bore date the 16th of April, 1&51, had been
given by the muter, Battistalla, to Mesa,.. Seehiao,
Brothers, and Co. ; it covered the ship, freight, and cargo,
and was opposed by the consignees of the cargo. the
history of the ship, which was • Wallachian barque, was
shortly this :—On the 19th of June, 1850, she sailed from
null for the Brazils, and was destined to return to • port in
Europe. On the 15th of April, 1851, she arrived at ltio
Janeiro, where the muter and ail the hands, except the
mate Battistella and three seamen, died of yellow fever.
By the order of the Ottoman Consul, Batustella was ap-
pointed muter, and it was alleged in the act on petition,
that the vessel, with a cargo of wood and black rashes,
proceeded to Bahia, whither she arrived on the
let of November. That on her voyage she encountered
violent storms, which rendered repairs necessary; anti that
the muter bad no money or credit, and the Ottoman
consul being absent, he applied to the vice-consul WI Bar-
dinia„who was one of the firm of Sechino, and who mud

Henry Hillier, assistant to Mr. Attenborough, proved
that he paid two 10/. notes to a person who pawned two
diamond rings for 401.
A clerk from the British Bank proved that the two notes
in question had beets paid in by Johnson to his account.
Mr. Lewis, for the prisoner, made a forcible appeal to
the court, contending that no evidence whatever had been
brought forward to connect the prisoner with the robberies.
Mr. Humphries, for the prosecution, did not ask the
court to commit, but only to remand for a few days longer.
Mr. Hardwick said the case, as it at present stood, was
certainly one of suspicion only.
Mr. Humphries mild the value of the property, upwards
of 1,0001., was so great, that ho hoped the court would give
the police time to get Johnson, if possible.
Inspector Whall said he had hopes of securing:Johnson.
The circumstances of the caw had been telegraphed to
Parts, but Johnson bad contrived to evade apprekension.
Mr. Hardwick decided on a further remand till next
Friday.

advertisements to be inserted for a loan on bottemry.
That the tender of the house of Sechino themselves be-
leg the lowest. tho bond was executed to them for
the sum of 1,3251. los. 9d., which, with maritime interest
of 40 per cent, amounted to 1,8551. 15s. That the ship
reached this country on 20th June, 1851 ; and with her
cargo was arrested. That no appearance was for some Urns
given for them, but that eventually the consignees of the
cargo appeared to oppose the validity of the bond. The
answer of the consignees stated that the vessel arrived at
Bahia in ballast, and without a cargo; that she was ooze
signed to Messrs. Sechino, and that through then
the master, on the Bth of November, eharterec
the vessel to Mr. Charles Lane, a merchant residing at the.
port. That Messrs. Sechino were not only aware that the
vessel was unseaworthy, but that they concealed the cir
cumstances from Mr. Lane, and the charter party state/
the ship to be seaworthy. Now' without entering at al
upon the many points of law which might have been raisee
in the case, and deciding it solely upon the facts admitted,
he (Dr. Lushington) was of opinion that it was the duty of
the master, the Messrs. Sachino, and the Sardinian consul
to have made a communication to Mr. Lane, and to have
iaquired of him whether he was prepared to make the ne-
cessary advances ; and that their omission to do so was fatal
to the validity of the bond, as fares related to the cargo.
Where the owners of the cargo and the charterers of the ship
were upon the spot, there must be an express communica-
tion to them ; and no defect in that particular could be re-
medied by advertia. menu or soy other means of publicity
whatever. This was a most imprtant rule of law, and one
that he could not under any circumstances relax. In fact,
until such an application had been made for the money and
refused, it could not be said that the muter had no credit ;
and the materials for bottomry did nut exist. He (Dr.
Lushington) must, therefore, pronounce against the bond,
so far as related to the cargo, with costs.

SUGAR.—The average price of sugar, the produce of
the British possessions iu America, computed from the re•
turns made in the week ending the 28th Dec., 1852, is
25.. lid. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 235. 2}d.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 255. 9id. The ave-
rage price of the three foregoing descriptions of sugar jointly
is 255. 2d.

COTTON.—LteslitrooL, Dec. 31.—A1l the succeeding
advice. from America, including those received by the last
steamer, give confirmation to what has gone More, as to
the extent of the crop. Comparatively very few persons
estimate the total quantity at less than 3,000,000 bales, and
the number and character of those whose estimates exceed
that amount is on the increase. There may be some diffi-
culty and delay, on account of freight, in getting the cot
ton forward ; but this, we presume, will be brought under
management. If there be only a well-grounded assurance
of a large quantity, arrangements can be made for waiting
the actual supply. In the meantime we can say very little
about reduction in price. The market is certainly quiet,
the business being entirely limited to the trade demean for
such small parcels as will serve to keep all going. The
turn of the market is c,rtaialy in favour of buyers, and
sales in the common run of America may, in some in-
stances, have been made at 1.161. under last Friday's
quotations. Generally speaking, however, there is no
quotable reduction in prices. The committee of brokers
place fair uplands at sid , Mobiles 51d., and Orleans 6d.
930 American and 520 Surat are reported to have been
taken on speculation, and 180 American, 940 Surat, and 30
Bahia for export. The sales today are 5,000 bales. Sales
for the week, 35,700.

IN TIIII MATTI& OP DAVID BOWIIX.

This insolvent, a coal merchant, was opposed by Mr.
Cooke on the part of Meson. Irvin* and Brown, coal mer-
chants, Broken Wharf, Wapping. Mr. Sargood supported.
The complaint was, that the insolvent bad improperly
contracted a debt with the opposing creditom. It appeared
that he hail been in their service, and at the end owed them
about 2001. for money collected, after allowing his salary
of 6!. a week. His son in-law, a person named Smith, had
given his bill for the balance, and the insolvent stated that
he believed that when it was given that Smith was a farmer
and worth 10,0001. It hail, however, turned out that Smith
was onl7 a farmer's bailiff, and un►ble to pay the bill.
The insolvent had lately made up h's mind to emigrate,
but was arrested by a creditor on a judge's order.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips intimated that whatever com-
plaint the opposing creditors had a paint the insolvent had
been condoned by them taking the security teem the son-
in law.

LINCOLN, Dec. 31. —Ws had • very fair show of
Wheat from our farmers to-day; good dry samples made
la. more money, damp and inferior scarcely supported last
week's rates. Barley very firm, and iu some instances
fetched Is. more money. Oats same as last week. Wheat,
red, 465. to 495. ; white, 30s. to 545. Barley, grinding,
261. to 295. ; malting, 345. Oats, 19s. to 225.

Ltvsaroot., Dsc. 31.—The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise, since Tuesday, have been small; however, from
foreign ports we have received 7,949 quarters wheat, 4,502
sacks and 5,235 barrels flour, besides 1,300 q• arters pease
from Cased.. The exports in the same time comprise
2,315 quarters wheat, 178 sacks and 337 barrels flour. The
trade has been quiet, as might be expected at this period of
the year, but prices of all articles have been tolerably well
maintained, unless where importers have been anxious to
effect sales from the ship. The weather continues unsettled,
with an uutoually mild temperature. At this day's market,
there was only a sma:l attendance of buyers, who limited
their purchases to the supply of their immediate wants.
Wheat met with a retail tale, at about Id. per 70 lbs. decline
on Tuesday's prices for parcels on the quay ; but barrel
flour was offered at Cd. per barrel reduction, without much
effect. Oats and oatmeal were in very limited request, at
late rates. Barley, beans, and pease were held for full
prices, which interfered with sales. Indian corn was hsrdly
inquired for, and floating cargoes might have been bought
un decidedly easier terms.
MANCHE/11'1K, Dec. 31.—Thoughout the week the trade
has ruled exceedingly languid, and the few sales made in
either Flour or Oatmeal could only be effected by accepting
offers at lower prices than those previously current. Of
wheat, beans, and flour, the arrivals from abroad at
Liverpool are this week to a liberal amount, but only
moderate of Indian corn; whilst from Ireland the only
supplies worthy of notice consist of 4,983 quarters of oats,
and 7,775 loads oatmeal. Our market this morning, being
again held off the usual day, was quite of a holiday
character. So little business consequently occurred that
quotations are almost altogether nominal ; but the tendency
of prices was decidedly in favour of buyers.
WaitieriaLn, Dec. 31.—The arrivals of grain are by no
means large ; the trade =stains its firmness, and the re-
duced stocks at this place, combined with the report of their
moderate extent elsewhere, causes the holiday's to pass over
without any effect upon the current prices. To-day Wheat
sells at fully the rates of last week. Barley, of fine heavy
quality, is Is. per Ir. dearer, and other sorts more in re-
quest. Oats, Shelling, and Beans are steady in prices.
Malt generally held at more money.

Mr. Cooke apprehended that it wu a fraud to get the
opposing creditors to take the security when it would not
be paid, and therefore there was no condonation.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that there
could be no fraud unless it could be shown that the insol-
vent knew that Smith was in different circumstances to

those stated. He had, however, sworn that he believed he
was a man of property.
Mr. Cooke complained of a statement made on the
schedule respecting the debt due to the opposing creditor.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said it must be altered. It
was, no doubt, owing to their kindwis to the insolvent that
their complaint in this court had failed.
The insolvent was discharged.
IN HE Ww. BURT.

This insolvent, a lieutenant in the army, was opposed
by Mr. Nichols and Mr. Curteen. Mr. S.irgood sup-
ported.
In the course of a long inquiry it appeared that the
insolvent had held the rank of " Captain " in the British
Legion in Spain, and hod been called " CAptain " up to the
present time. lie had described himself as " Lieutenant"
on his schedule.
Mr.

Phillips held that the insolvent must
describe himself as known as "Captain Burt," and ad-
journed the case (or an amended description.
