_ :le last accounts of the health of the Marquis

one eye it is feared is entirely gone, and his general
health so very indifferent that it is expected he will

KNIGHT V. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.
This case, the hearing of which occupied the Court
the whole of yesterday, was directed to stand over until

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON ant Mr. Baron

ROLFE.)
THE ROBBERY IN QUEBEC-STREET.—James Card-
well was indicted for stealing in adwelling-house monies
to the amount of upwards of 1,2001., the property of
Henry Edward Porter, his master, on the 9th of Octo-
ber last.

Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Chambers conducted the pro-
secution ; and Mr. Sergeant Bompas, Mr. C. Phillips,
and Mr. Doane appeared for the prisoner.
_ _

Mr. CLARKSON- having stated the case to the Jury,
called the following witnesses :
Mr. Henry Edward Porter is '23 years of age. Is a
butcher, residing in New Quebec-street, Portland-
square ; has been in business since he was '2l years of
age. Mr. Edward Porter and Mr. and Mrs. Brader
reside with him • his aunt, Mrs. Braden,' assists in the
business ; Mr. Brader has nothing to' do with
it. Pi ironer was in his sera ice on the 9th of
Oct. ; he slept in the attic ; Mr. and Mrs. Brader slept
in the front room, second floor. Witness had a cash-
box, in which he kept his money, and it was usually kept
in a closet in Mrs. Brader's room. Had seen it on the
Sunday beftire the 9th of October on Mrs. Brader's
table. There was a bill drawn on Mr. Fitzgerald for
'1=271. 83., in the cash-box, and a 100/. note, received
from Mr. Wilkinson, and a 50/. note received from .the
sanm gentleman ; they were customers ; a 100/. note,
received of Mrs. Napier, which had been changed for
her ; altogether there was about 1,1701. in the cash',
box. The prisoner want out of a Wednesday, from five
in the evening until ten. He generally dressed himself
in his room. In coming down stairs he would pass the
door of Mrs. Brader's room. On the 9th of October
saw him about four o'cloek in the afternoon ; he returned
home about ten. Witness was at borne when the money
was missed; it was about nine at night. Has since seen
some of the notes.

Cross-examined.—Has one brother who assists him
in the business. This cash-box was never kept in his
room, but an old cash-box was ; that has never been
under any other care than his own. It has been used
as a cash-box eleven years ; his grandfather had charge
of it until witness became of age, when he took posses-
sion of his grandfather's room and this cash-box. Had
had the cash-box which was stolen about one year ; has
the key, it is a common one. Thinks he had 401. in
the second cash-box on the 9th October, in notes and
gold ; the notes were 51. and 101. Tile cash-box lost
had been purchased about a year ago. Previcus to that
time the cash had been kept in the old cash-box in his
room, but as he had been careless in leaving the keys
about, the cash was given into his aunt's custody. One
of the notes had been received of Mr. Younger. Hac
not paid away a second 100/. within a yea- ; he keeps
no correct accounts of what he pays or what be re-
ceives. A female servant has left his service since the
robbery ; there was steles property found in her box.

Reexamined.—Tne servant's name was . Inwood ;
she was apprehended on this charge, but discharged by
the Magistrate. A table-cloth was found in her box.
His brother has received the merest of the money in
the funds since it was invested ; his returns in business
are about 10,000/. a year. People have been coming
incessantly to his shop to make inquiries about the rob-
bery. Mr. Glenister is a carcase butcher. Witness
serves several persons of distinction with meat.
Mrs. Mary Ann Brader, aunt to the last witness,
was next examined at great length. The trial was
likely to last the whole day.
THE REBELLIOUS CHURCH.

(From the Aberdeen Herald.)

The Chartists of the Church arc swimming down the
river—pig-fashion of course—at such a rate as must
delight the heart of every honest friend of religion and
social order. It has been apparent for some time that
there can be no dealing with them—they are mad, fairly
mad, beyond recovery—aed there is a method in their
madness that will anon render it imperative on the civil
authorities to interfere, and put them clown by force.
Their last act is quite characteristic. A majority of the
Presbytery of Strathbogie, thinking the Assembly were
honest, when, in their Jesuitical decisten, they declared
their intention of submitting to the civil antherities, re-
solved at a meeting, recorded in our lest Paper, to obey
the Court of Session. For this they are to be sus-
pended. Sentence has been pronounced against them ;
and, unless they repent in_dust and ashes, other clergy-
men, appointed by the Assembly's Commission, will up-
pear in their pulpits on Sunday week, to perform their
functions, and proclaim their punishment. That there
will be any submission by the members of Presbytery,
we do not expect. In fact, they would disgrace them-
selves for ever were they to agree to the humiliating
proposal of the Commission. •
. There is nothing new in these proceedings of the wild
party—they are only imitating,-at a respectful distance,
and without any redeeming motive, the `conduct of the
highflyers of the seventeenth century. Then, as now,
the object was to get all moderate-minded men excluded
from the Church ; then, as now, the most arbitrary and
tyrannical proceedings were resorted to in order to
maintain the ascendancy of the violent party ; then, as
now, the proceedings of the Commissions of the As-
sembly were blamed by all men of sober judgment and
ordinary prudence. Baillie, in one of his letters, makes
the following observation, which we cordially recom-
mend to the attention of our clerical Chartists :—" It
will be better to let your sails fall somewhat lower in
time, before a storm compel you ; or ye, who think God
so highly glorified by casting out your brethren, and
putting so many to beggary—making room, through
such depositions, to young youths who are often tills.
carried with ignorant zeal—may be made, through your
own experience, to feel what it is which now, without
pity, is executed upon others. Generally, the great
power which the Commission of the Kirk .exereiseth
displeaseth all. . If the Kirk of Scotland look
not to this in time, we will lament it when we cannot
mend it. . . We meet with daily regrets that the
ancient ministry are condemned, and the insolence of
young ones fostered—the very forerunner of Jerusaletea
destruction. The Lord make us wise in time!"

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ATSEA.--rillt a
fcw weeks since we published the earl news of a melan-
eholy catastrophe which occurred a short distance from
the shore in front of our town, when two Brighton fish-
ermen were drowned by the capsizing of their boat.
This morning we again record another fatal accident of
nearly an equal painful nature. On Monday night the
William and Sally, a Brighton boat, was fishing it the
trawl ground about 20 miles at sea, when thei.crete
perceived the lights of a vessel coming down the
Channel. They immediately showed their own lantliorns,
for as their net was down they could not very con-
veniently alter their course. The ship, however.
still continued to bear down upon them ; and as she
approaChed they repeatedly hailed her, shouting
—" starboard the helm." This cry was , dis-
regarded, and at 11 o'clock the ship's bowsprit caught
the rigging of the William and Sally, her bows struck
her athwart miclihips, and she instantly upset, throwing
all the people on board into the water. The crew con-
sisted of three persons : Rayner Smith, Charles Smith,
his son (a boy not quite eleven years old), end Richard
Allen, commonly known as " Dick Lop." The poo:. man
Smith was heard to exclaim. " The Lord hay;; mercy
upon me," and then disappeared. His son sr.ys, however,
that lie saw him swimming about for 'aortic time,; but
at last he cried " Good bye, Charley the boy answered
" Good bye," and then his fatl.er sank: rUpon the
ship's striking she immediately backed sails and loWered
a boat. These operations necessa7ily occupied
.some
time, but happily were the means of saving the hies of
Allen and the boy. They were found sitting on their own
boat which
lay floating
a
soinde.afteTr The
eboy had con-
trived t clamber upontigon
her her o
upset t but
Allen was in the sea nearly three quarters
of an hour
ns
before he saw her, keeping himself above the water ionie-
times by swimming and sometimes by holding a stray
oar which came. within his reach. Encumbered 'es he
was with heavy clothes and great sea boots, it 'is; won-
derful he had not himself lost his life. The 'two sur-
vivors were received on board the ship about a qUarter
past twelve, and every attention was paid them • that
could atone for the neglig,rence which had thrown
their lives into such jeopardy. They were furnished with
warm clothes and supplied with all the restoratives re-
quired in their exhausted condition. The ship proved
to be the John of London, Davy master, bound to St.
Helena. The mate said that when bailed by the Wil-
liam and Sally he ordered the man at the wheel to put
the helm a-starboard ; and the answer was, that the
helm was" hard a-starboard" already. About one o'clock
the John fell in with the Sarah, another Brighton boat,
William Downes, master, but the. property of Thomas
Furner. She put Allen and the boy on board this
boat, and continued her voyage. The two sufferers
reached Brighton in safety about seven o'clock yester-
day morning ; but previously to their landing the uncle
of the lad was sent for, and requested to break the
dreadful intelligence to his sister, the unhappy vvichaw
of Smith. The poor woman at first received the nevvs
with much composure ; but was soon afterwards so
overpowered by her feelings that she went into violent
hysterics. Smith was in his 52d year. We are glad that
a subscription is being raised in behalf of the poor
widow and her orphans —Brighton Herald of today,
SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. WESTWOOD.
An inquest was held yesterday at Chiswick, on the body
of Mrs. Westwood, widow of the late Mr. 'WestWood,
the details of whose murder, in Princes-street, Soho,
must be fresh in pubic recollection. It was. nlearl
y
proved that Mrs. Westwood had died very suddenly
from the rupture of one of the vessels of heart, and
a verdict to that effect was recorded. She had been on
a visit to some relations when she was attacked. It
was stated at the inquest that hopes are now. enter-
tained of soon discovering Mr. Westwood's murderers.
