It is expected that some changes will before long
be made in the upper ranks of the judicial body. The
retirement of M. Portalis, First President of the Court
of Cassation, has already been announced ; as he has
very nearly attained the age at which the present re-
gulations fix the superannuation ; but M. Portalis, it
is believed, is not desirous of waiting till that day ar-
rives. M. Troplong is spoken of as his successor. It
is probable that M. Portalis, who is already a member
of the Senate, will receive a donation by way of in•
demnity.
Specimens of copper coinage have been struck at
the Mint, by way of essay only, with the effigy of the
President encircled with the inscription "Napoleon
Empereur." On the reverse an eagle, with the words,
Empire Francais." These pieces are but few, and
are not intended for circulation, but are merely proofs.
A person who professes to have seen one says, that
he believes the number "III." follows the word Na-
poleon. The pieces of gold and silver will have the
same device, with a crown of oak-leaf, but without
the eagle.

'The Tribunal of Correctional Police on Saturday
tried four persons, named Grigne, clerk to M. Pan-
konke, rue des Poitevins ; Mme. Grigne, his wife,
bookseller, rue Dauphine; ;Passe. and Noblet, ex-
emp/oyil of the Ministry of the Interior—on the
charge of having insulted the Prince President, ex-
cited the citizens to hatred and contempt of one
another, and outraged public morality, by selling of
distributing works entitled "Napoleon le Petit," by
Victor Hugo, the "Deux Cours et Les Nuits de St.
Cloud," and the " Voix Illysterieu.se." The Tribunal
held that the charge was not sufficiently proved
against Grigne, Madame Grigne, and Noblet, and it
acquitted them. As to Wasse, it decided that he had
distributed and sold the works in question, and ac-
cordingly condemned him to a year's imprisonment
and 500 f. fine. Grigne was, however, convicted of
having had illegal possession of a poignard, and for
that offence was fined 16f. Several copies of the of-
fensive works and the poignard were seized, and were
ordered to be confiscated, and the two condemned
were ordered to pay the costs.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, OCT. 17.

Letters from Beyrout of the 29th September announce
that i❑ the event of the Druses manifesting further op-
position to the Sultan's orders, the Seraskier, who has
placed himself at the head of 15,000 men, had resolved
to attack them. This extreme measure would not,
however, be resorted to until the great caravan, loaded
with provisions for the pilgrims of Mecca, had attained
a position of safety from the attack of the Druses, who
would not hesitate to pillage it if hostilities had com-
menced. At present they have retired to the most in-
accessible partsof the Haenran. In the meantime the
Seraskier has ordered several of the Druses to his
camp, and, as some have obeyed, the spilling of blood
may yet be avoided.
An English Schooner, the Arundel, Garo master, from
Alexandria to Cork or Falmouth for orders, and laden
with wheat, is a wreck between the Munsicar shoal and
Marsaasciroeco; crow saved, and mach of the cargo will
be recovered.
Lord Frederick Fitzelarence, who reached Malta by
the Caradoc, on the evening of the 13th inst., will re-
main some days, owing to the illness of his daughter.
The return of the fleet is expected about the 29th
inst. Some speak psitively as to the day, but I doubt
their information.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 26.

His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, First Lord
of the Admiralty; Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert,
K,C.8., M.P.; and Mr. A. Stafford, M.P., secretary,
forming a board, accompanied by Captain Sir Baldwin
Walker, Surveyor of the Navy; Lieutenant-
Colonel Greene, Director cf Engineering Works; and
Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, RN., private secretary
to the First Lord, and other officials, arrived at this port
at seven o'clock last night. Their headquarters are the
Cr-2orgo Hotel, where they entertained at dinner Ad.
miral Sir Thoinaa Briggs, G.C.M.G., the Commander-
in-Chief, and a select number of officers.

Thi. morning it blew a gale; and altogether no body of
officials could have risen to a morning's labours under
more unpropitious circumstances. Nevertheless, their
lordships " buckled to it," and left their hotel for the
dockyard at 10 o'clock, after a salute of 19 guns from
the Platform battery. The First Lord and all the other
naval members of the party wore the full uniforms
of their respective ranks. The board first proceeded
to the office of the Rear-Admiral Superintendent of the
dockyard, were the staff of the establishment were as-
sembled to receive them ; here they remained transact-
ing business with the various officials until 12 o'clock,
when they left for the master shipwright's department,
and mustered the whole of the employes of the yard, who
were dismissed with the half-holyclay usual on such
visits. This task of mustering the men occupied until
1.15 p.m., when the Board, notwithstanding the wretched
state of the weather, sallied out and went on board the
Duke of Wellington, 131, where they remained until
past two, when they left her a❑d proceeded through the
rain ronnd the dockyard, inspecti❑g the ships on the
slips, one of which, we believe (the Royal Frederick,
120, ready for launching), is to be lengthened, a la
Windsor Castle, and adapted to screw propulsion. It
would be but common prudence and economic foresight
if the other three three-deckers, building ou adjacent
stocks to her, were also t 3 be altered while they are yet
in a backward state. The new smithery, the steam
factory and basin, and the new works around, also came
in for observation, and the board left the dockyard soon
after three p.m. for the George Hotel, where they trans-
acted eorrespondence, received visitors, &c., and in the
evening gave a sumptuous dinner to the whole of the
heads of the naval, marine, and military departments.
The First Lord has issued the following notice of his
inability to hold a levee at Portsmouth this visit:—

" Th; Duko of Northumberland regrets very much
that ho will not have it in his power to receive officers
during his short vi4it to Portsmouth, his Grace being
compelled to return to London early on Thursday morn-
ing on public business."
By letters from the Cape, we learn that Lieutenant
Gordon, of the Styx, is appointed acting-commander of
the Hydra, steam-sloop, vice Belgrave, invalided ; and
Mfr. Wynyard, mate, has been given an acting lieu-
tenancy.

PLYMOUTH, OCT, 26.
Her Majesty'a ship Prince Regent, 90, flag of Admiral
Corrie, and the Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart,
arrilved this afternoon, and were followed in the evening
by the Rodney, 90, Captain Graham. The Indefatigable
will probably be paid off here.
fbe brig Kestrel, bought into the service by the late
Government, was taken into dock today, to be broken
up.

SHEERNESS, OCT. 26.

Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Porcupine,
n, Lieutenant George M. Jackson commanding, arrived
-,sterday, at 9 a.ra,, from the Isle of Man, and anchored
in the harbour- She was designed by Mr. Lang,
launched at Deptford in 1344, is 382 tons burden, and
has engines of 140-horse power.
Her Majesty's brig Sappho, 12, Commander the Hon.
A. A. Cochrane, arrived yesterday forenoon from Spit-
head, and hove-to at the Nore middle ground. She
saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline
Percy, C.Bt., Commander-in-Chief, with 17 guns, which
was immediately returned by the Waterloo with 7
guns. Th© Sappho then came into harbour and an-
chored off the south end of the west shore. She is one
of the brigs built from dtsigns of the ex-Surveyor of
the Navy, Sir W. Symonds, and was launched at Wool-
wich 19 years ago. Her present commission has ex-
tended to 3 yesrs and 8 months, during which period
she has been employed in North America and the West
Indica. Her present commander was appointed to her
in June, 1851. She is under orders to proceed to
Chatham for the purpose of being dismantled and paid off.

WOOLWICH, OCT. 26.
It is now upwards of six months ago since it was de-
cith.d, as we stated at the time, that the Royal Albert,
of 120 guns, building at Woolwich dockyard, should be
coovarted into a screw steam-ship. When the alteration
from her original design, by Mr. Lang, master ship-
wdii)eat at this dockyard, as a sailing vessel only, was
decided upon it it was intended by the Lords of the
tnir4ltY, and Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, Sur-
leYeir, of the Navy, that she should be merely fitted with
aeoxvieurinarjepower, and that a pair of the engines in the
did not tit stores should be fitte din her. Mr. Lang
bh;),
as
the 131:oirst 7elish me idea that a magnificent
time 700 tens yal Albert must have proved, being at the
VOUS' NAVY, largershould
than any vessel ever built for the
and that ship heti be converted into a screw steam-ship,
Only,
that
with old engines, to serve as
auxiliaries
proposition being made by the
authorities with s a vie tw t o economy. After several con-
sukations, it w
considered that it would be more advan-
tageous, and more wort
bow engines, and Messra the splendid vessel to have
yJoofhnf Penn & Son were desired
to famish designs of engines 600-horde power, and an
estimate of their cost, which v(:a
was all but finally decided that was
ycordingly done, and it
should be put in the
Royal Albert. A subsequent knowledge that the French
Government were giving their vessels the first class
engines of the best make and most approved principles,
powerd toile Admiralty
with nearly, if not quite full power,
Co hesitate in their decision as to the
of the Royal Albert, the vessel in herprtehseenitigliinneess
being unsuitable fir engines of anything like the power
a ship of her magnitude would require to propel her,
was, therefore,
even at a moderate rate of spe.42d, through the water. It
was, agreed that the matter Should
be referred to a committee to report on the beat means
of making the Royal Albert an efficient screw steam-ship.
The committee have now, concluded their labours, and
their report has been approved by their Lordships, as
may bq inferrtd from the following detailB:—A number
of workmen were this morning placed at work on the
Royal Albert, to make her water-tight up to some &s-
-tance above the launch line of immersion, it being in-
tended to have her ready for launching early in the
spring of 18:53. When launched, she is to be taken into
the east dock, next the saw-mills, and will there be
lengthened 35 feet, which will give her a capacity of up-
wards Of 4,000 tonnage, rendering her still the largest
ship in the Royal Navy, and affording ample room for
superior engines of 1,000-laorso power. The process of
lengthening the vessel would have taken place where she
is now building, but there is not room under the slip for
that purpose.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-oc4 26.

OLD COURT.
ALLEGED ASSAULT.

Hirmang Steintlull, a German, apparently about fifty
years cid, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of
assaulting Marie Solzberg, with intent to commit a
felony.
In another count the defendant was charged with a
common assault.

The prosecutrix in this case was a German Jewess,
and it appeared from her evidence that she was a mar-
ried woman, and that she kept a cigar shop in Somerset-
street, Whitechapel. About five o'clock on the evening
of the 14th September, the defendant, whom she had
known before, went into her shop, and they had some
conversation together; after which she told him that she
had something to do, and asked him to go away. The
defendant went out of the shop, and she proceeded to a
back room, which was used as a bed-room, and almost
immediately afterwards the defendant entered the room,
and, according to her statement, proceeded to assault
her in the manner suggested by the indictment. She
said, however, that she resisted him successfully, and
gave an alarm, and a man named Lowenthall came to her
assistance, and the defendant then went away.
In cross-examination, the prosecutrix said that she
had known Lowenthal' for about 12 months, and that
he and a woman had lodged with her when she kept a
lodging-house, and she said that at that time she went
by the name of Olivenstein. She declared, however
that Lowenthall had not been in her bed-room when she
was in bed, and also said that she could not state whe-
ther Lowenthal' had not been at her shop and conversed
with her a short time before the defendant came there.
Lowenthall, the person referred to, who it appeared
was a Polish jew, was called as a witness to confirm the
evidence of the prosecutrix. He stated that he went to
the shop accidentally at the time of the occurreneo, and
on going in he heard a groaning noise, which apparently
proceeded from the bed-room. The door was opened
almost immediately, and ho went into the room and saw
the defendant and the prosecutrix, and the former had
his clothes disordered and appeared anxious to conceal
himself behind the bed. The defendant afterwards tried
to leave the room, but he seized him by the collar, and
the defendant then took off his eye-glass and offered it
to him, but ho refused to receive it. He said that he
. then called for a policeman, but could not find ono, and
las he had no time to spare, the defendant was allowed to
go away..

- Upon being cross-examined he said that ho had known
the prosecutrix since he had resided in England, which
was about 14 months, and he was in the habit of fre-
quently calling at her shop ; and he had done so and
conversed with her about half an hour before he dis-
covered the defendant in the manner he had stated.
Upon being pressed by Mr. Clarkson, ho appeared very
nuwilling to admit that when he went into the room the
defendant said something about the affair being a
" plant" or a trap, and he also said that the eyeglass
was left behind by the defendant, but he did not know
what became of it.

Mr. Clarkson, in his address to the jury for the de-
fence, said he should not attempt to deny that the de-
fendant had acted very foolishly in the matter, but be
submitted that it was clear that what took place in the
first instance was with the consent of the prosecutrix,
and that what subsequently occurred was the result of a
contrivance of the prosecutrix and her friend Lowen-
thal', to take advantage of the folly of the defendant, and
get money from him by trumping up the present
charge,

The'learned judge having summed up, the jury im
mediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

LARGE EMBEZZLEMENT.

Arthur Kendall, 26, clerk, pleaded guilty to two in-
dictments, charging him with embezzling money belong-
ing to his employers.
Mr. Huddlestone, who appeared for the prosecution,
stated to the Court that the prisoner had been engaged
in a confidential capacity in the establishment of a highly
respectable solicitor's firm in Lincoln's-inn-fields, and he
had taken advantage of his position to plunder his em-
ployers to a very great extent. In consideration of his
former good character, however, and his respectable con-
nections, the prosecutors were desirous that the Court
should deal as I,,niently with the prisoner as the justice
of the case would admit of.

The Recorder inquired to what amount the defalca-
tions of the prisoner extended?
Mr. Huddlestone said he believed the total amount
unaccounted for by the prisoner was 1,5001.
Mr. Gray, one of the prosecutors, stated, in answer
to a question put by the Recorder, that the manner in
which the prisoner had plundered the firm was by mak-
ing false entries in the banker's book of sums which he
should have paid in, but which ho retained in his pos-
session.

The Recorder inquired whether there was any ground
for supposing that the prisoner had been engaged in any
betting transactions?
Mr. Gray said there was every reason to believe that
nearly the whole of the money had been lost in betting
upon horse races. The prisoner himself indeed had
stated so to him.

A GUILTY MOVIES..

Emily Mary Newell, a child 11 years of age, was in-
dicted for stealing two silver spoons. the property of
James Robert Bouquet, and Hannah Louisa Newell, 37,
her mother, was indicted for feloniously receiving the
same.
The prosecutor resided at No. 16, Somerford-grove,
Stoke Newington, and the little girl was employed in
his house. The evidence clearly showed that she stole
the spoons, and that the mother received them, and
raised money upon them, fully knowing that her child
had stolen them from her master.

The Recorder observed, that he found appended to the
depositions a tavern bill of a considerable amount, and
he wished to know what it had to do with the case?
Mr. Gray said that the bill had reference to a dinner
at Dabourg's Hotel in the Haymarket, at which the
prisoner and some of his " sporting " companions were
present. He was informed, however, that the bill had
slaver been paid, but the magistrate considered that the
court ought to be put in possession of the fact.
The Recorder then passed sentence upon the prisoner.
He said he could not help looking at this case as ono of
the very worst possible of this particular class of offence.
The prisoner was a man of education, occupying a re-
sponsible position, cud no doubt in the receipt of a good
salary, with a prospect of advancement, and yet he had
not scrupled to take advantage of the confidence that
was placed him to plunder his employers to a very large
amount. It appeared that he had adopted the practice
which had been the ruin of so many persons in a similar
position—of betting upon the turf, not for the pleasure
of seeing the horses entered in the race, but merely
rendered horse racing subservient to gambling of
the very worst description, and there was very
little doubt that ho had become acquainted and
mixed up with the numerous body of blacklegs and
swindlers who made such proceedings the means of ob-
taining a livelihood, and in all probability he had been
plundered by them of the greater part, if not the whole,
of the large amount of money of which he had robbed
his employers. He had been led into pursuits and habits
totally beyond his means, and he observed that he had
been present at one entertainment at which the cost to
each person was no less than 21. 18a 6d. The system of
gambling upon horse races was most pernicious in its
consequences, and he trusted that the legislature would,
so far as laid in its power, interfere to check this detest-
able course of gambling, which was so rapidly extending,
especially among the humbler classes, and persons in the
position of the prisoner. The learned judge concluded
by passing a sentence of transportation for seven years.

The jury found the prisoners Guilty, but rccommended
the girl to mercy.
The prosecutor, who seemed to take a great interest
in the child, expressed a hope that she might be removed
from her mother. The father was in respectable em-
ployment, earning 265. a week, and he would take care
that she was better brought up for the future.
The Assistant Judge concurred in this, and sentenced
the girl to ten days' solitary confinement in Westminster
Bridewell. In passing sentence on the mother, he said
this was not a case for transportation, that punishment
being more applicable to common or general receivers,
but he hoped the sentence he should pass would be an
example to others not to train up their offspring in
guilt. He ordered her to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for eighteen calendar months.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Serjeant.)
In the case of a person named Thomas, committed by
the magistrates for passing bad coin, Mr. Bodkin ap•
plied to the Court to discharge the recognizinces of the
witnesses on the part of the Crown. The prisoners had
b,en committed by one of the metropolitan magistrates
for passing base coin, bat on the depositions being ex-
amined by tho Attorney-General, he considered that
there was nothing to justify a prosecution, and directed
the charge to be withdrawn.
Mr. Bodkin observed that the fact was of importance,
as in some quarters it was considered desirable to leave
the decision of such charges to a magistrate, without the
intervention of a jury.
The prisoner was then ordered to be discharged.
The whole of the day was occupied in trying prison-
ers for uttering base coin, of whom there were thirty-
two in number. Not any of the cases possessed sufficient
novelty or interest to warrant a report.
