Sig—Having observed a paragraph going the round of the
papers, stating that an American Packet was totally lost on
Friday, the 24th ult., between three and four miles north of
Newport, situated seven miles E of this place, therefore, I
think it necessary to inform you, that I have made every in-
quiry, and find the whole to be a gross fabrication, as no such
vessel has been lost. I have just learnt a letter has been sent
to you, signed John Haynes, giving a description of the loss of
the above-named vessel. Now there is no such person of that
name residing at Newport, or in its neighbourhood.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servz.nt,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MAR YL EB ONE.
William Harris, the driver of Warburton's Paddingtcn
omnibus, No. 91, who was on Tuesday last lined 71., at this
office, for wilfully damaging a rival omnibus, belonging to
Bolton, was yesterday again brought before the sitting Magi-
strates, Messrs. GaEooni and SHUTT, to anwer for similar
misconduct towards the same omnibus.
George Astor, the conductor of Bolton's omnibus, stated
that about one o'clock on Friday, the following day the first
outrage his vehicle, which was followed by the defendant's,
stopped to take up a gentleman at the eastern end of Oxford -
street. This was no sooner perceived by the defendant than
he drove up furiously and placed the pole of his omnibus se
close to the door of the complainant's vehicle that it could not
be opened. Complainant remonstrated with him, and his (com-
plainant's) coachman drove on a short distance, so as to clear
himself of the other omnibus. The door was then opened, and
the passenger was . just about to ascend the steps, when the de-
fendant urged on his horses with the whip, and exchtimed,
" D--n you, I'll run you through," and actually attempted to
carry his diabolical threat into execution, when he (complain-
ant) avoided the danger by jumping on oac side, and the pole,
which passed close to bias, entered the omnibus, and was very
near killing one of the passengers, and caused the greatest
alarm and consternation. The omnibus was not damaged, the
pole having entered through the open door.
Mr. Henry Spence Itathcote, a passenger in Bolton's omni-
bus, corroborated complainant's statement, and characterised
the defendant's conduct as the most ruffianly and reckless he
had ever witnessed, even in the driver of an omnibus.
Mr. SnuTT, after reading the defendant a severe lesson, fined
him 405., and intimated that every omnibus driver brought be-
fore him for similar misconduct would be punished to the full
mot of the law.

The Dean of Bristol died at Torquay on
inst. He was in his 87th year.
A large meeting of the electors of Marylebone was
held yesterday at the Duke of Clarence, Munster-street, Re-
gent's-park, to hear the political sentiments of B. Hall, Esq.,
M. P. Several questions were put to the Hon. Candidate by
Mr. Douglas and others, to some of which his answers gave
satisfaction—others not. Mr. Murphy declared his intention
of going to the poll against Mr. Hall, and denounced dictation
to the borough, and suffocation of the voice of the electors by
a coterie. Mr. Savage having said that the merit of carrying
Mr. Duncombe's rate-paying clause was chiefly due to Mr.
Hall, Mr. Murphy said that he should ask Mr. Duncombe the
question as to that allegation. Both Mr. Hall and Mr. Mur-
phy finally declared their intention of going to the poll.
Yesterday morning, a young man, named Sparks,
while fixing up a water spout at a house in Caroline-street
East, Camden-town, fell off a ladder, when about 30 feet from
the ground, and pitching on his head, so desperately fractured
his skull, that his life is despaired of.

The Canterbury Tories threaten two candidates at
the next election ; so much the better—the Reformers will not
endanger their second candidate by any " split votes."
There is some talk of starting Mr. John Evelyn
Denison, one of the Members for Notts, as the second reform
candidate, in conjunction with Mr. Ewart, for Liverpool.
Nearly all the members of the Royal Family of
Wurtemburg, excepting his Majesty, have been attacked by la
grippe. _

Snow and frost it appears have been pretty general
in Scotland within the last few days. In Glasgow, a good
deal of snow fell on Friday night and Saturday, but not to the
extent of delaying the arrival of any of the mail or stage
coaches ; and in Edinburgh a similar state of weather was
experienced.

To our meek and merry Archbishops and Bishops we cannot, we

humbly submit that, however it may have been in the 16th century,
in the 19th a Protestant National Church ought net cavalierly and
rudely to exclude from its very threshold all the inhabitants of a
common country, who, oddly enough perhaps, are contented with
the scanty phraseology of Clirist and his Apostles, or even prefer
it, with whatever bad taste, to that of Saint Tertullian or of Saint
Athanatius.

EVANS V. WILLIAMS.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared for the plaintiff in this cause. The
bill was filed on behalf of Elizabeth Evans, an infant, against
riThomas Williams, a Welsh solicitor, for the deliveiy of titie-
de.eds relating to property in the neighbourhood of Holyhead,
to Which she was entitled. Williams, by his answer, said he
got thy' deeds from the executrix of a Airs. Jones, who I itchy
died at Beatunaris, to deliver them to Ifenry Evans, who in-
sisted the property belonged to him. 'Williams, therefore,
merely sought the indemnity of the Court as between the two
claimants.
Mr. JACOB appeared for the defendant; Henry Evans.
bill must be dismissed with costs.

Mr. RICHARDS appeared for the defendant, Thomas W.
liams.

After some discussion between the Counsel,

of the property, as well as the seisin of the testatrix, and that
the plaintiff should bring an ejectment against him ; and that
the plaintiff should pay Williams his costs Ivithout prejudice to
any question between her and the defendant Evans as to who
should bear the costs.

pearance of Isaac Hance, committed from this of on Sa-
turday, on a charge of conspiracy.
Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor for the prosecution, oP-
posed the bail.

After hearing evidence, Mr. Mr&Sritil.r. was of opinion
that there was a case against Ligo, Livingstone, and Jones,
and committed for trial ; but he desired that they,• with
Hutton, should be brought up again on Saturday, as it was
expected another case of burglary would then be brought
against them. He committed Morley for three months to

The arrivals this week are moderate of all kinds of corn,
and there is a fair return of Flour. Still, the Market presents
a good shoW of samples, in consequence of the remains of
former sales. All kinds of Grain have met an excessively dull

R USSIA.

The following is an extract from .a letter, dated Odessa,
January 1. :—" Whilst the western side of the globe is en-
gaged with the affairs of Spain, events of serious importance
are taking place in this quarter. The Tcherkeses are in
open war with the Russian troops. General Wiliaminaw
was twice attacked in his intrenchment of Soudjouk-kale.
In order to reinforce the garrison of that place, General
Rosen sent a brigade of infantry and three regiments of
Cossacks. More than three hundred Russian soldiers were
killed in an engagement at the outposts. The armed bands
of Tcherkeses penetrated beyond Kuban, and some of them-
advanced as far as the territory of the Cossacks of theßlack
Sea, pillaging the country on their march, and exciting the
inhabitants to rise against the Czar. The Transcaucasian
Journal, published at Teflis, confirms these particulars, and
adds the the audacity and cruelty of those mountaineers
were such, that notwithstanding the severity of the weather
the Russian troops were obliged to keep the field, in order
to repress their incursions and drive them back to their
native hills. It also appears that desertion from the ranks
of the Russian army was not uncommon, not only amongst
several of the corps of the Caucasian division, but even
from those quartered in Southern Russia. In order to put
a stop to this evil, the Emperor had authorized the Go-
vernor-General of that district to punish desertion amongst
private soldiers without having recourse to the ceremony of
a court-martial. _ _ _

By accounts from Moldavia it is stated, that the failure
of the house of Bell and Anderson, of Bucharest, had pro-
duced at Jassy a commercial crisis. The amount for which
this concern had stopped is estimated at 5,000,000 piasters.

before Mr. WHITE with stealing a pump, the property of
Mr..Froggatt, a tradesman, residing at Knightsbridge, upon
whose premises the prisoner had been employed to remove
the dust. The prisoner upon being called_on for his de-

Mr. WHITE—You were not then at all sensible that you
had placed an additional weight in your cart ? Prisoner—
Oh, no, your Lordship ; if so be as I had a large lump of

MARYLEBUNE.

Yesterday Ridiard Franklin, a tall, red-haired' journey-
man barber, in the employ of Mr.• Johnson, of Hertford:
street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Rawlins n,
with having violently assaulted John_M‘Carthy, a little
elderly tensor, residing next door, and likewise with having
nearly throttled a female nambed Webb, who ca►ue to his
assistance.
From the complainant's story it appeared that he %Ills,
as he stated himself, the " old miginal," having practised as
• a chin-mower for the last half century, man and boy, in the
above. street. Latterly, however, he had experienced-
.. Much opposition, a Mr. Skiff having opened in the same
street, and lastly, Mr. Johnson, in whose service the defen-
dant was, came the very next door to oppose him, and this
was what he called close shaving. He, however, boldly
stood his ground, thinking that his rivals who could
scarcely live " from hand to mouth," must soon " cut" it.
In this, however, he was mistaken, for he contiuueit to
oppose and annoy him in every way, ar,(l.cych had mow-4e

THAMES-OFFIUE.

Ar,q;sterday considerable interest was excited at this office.,
which was crowded to excess by scarcer, watermen, anct•
others, to hear the examination of three seamen belonging:
to the Giraffe steam-ship, and a well-known smuggler
named carver, charged with attempting. to run a large'
quantity of tobacco ashore from that vessel on Sunday
night, and making a desperate assault on several Custom+
houSe officers.

After some discussion on the law of the case, and a long;
consultation between the Magistrates and Mr. Symons, the
chief clerk,
Mr. BALLANTINE said the bench was of opinion the case
was made out.

The Magistrate sentenced him to pay a fine of 1001. to
the King, and be imprisoned until such fine was paid.
David Minter pleaded not guilty to a similar :. information
The officers repeated their evidence, and the Magistrates
sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 1001. _

Richard Garver, a waterman, well-known to the Thames
police as a smuggler, was charged with being concerned iti
the unshipping -of the tobacco from the Giraffe.
The prisoner was sentenced to pay 100/., and be impri•
soned until it was paid.

IN KENT,
A little beyond the Rural Village of WESTERIUM. A
FREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, called RED HILL, of
122 ACRES, with OR NAMEN TAL GROUNDS and
PLANTATIONS.
TO RE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on TITURSDAY, the 19th of October, at
Twelve o'clock, by direction or the Trustee, and under a posi-
tive power of Sale,
A FREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, de-
lightfully situate about three miles beyond
WESTERHAM, IN KENT,
112 miles past Bromley, and 23 from London. It is a eiresteastance
of rare occurrence when such a I'roperty is attainable.
THIS PARK, or rather PET FARM,
does not pretend to accommodate a very large family, and there is
no leek of opportunity to improve and decorate it within—but
there is much comfort, and the situation is so romantic, in-
deed, it is altogether so irresistible, that Mr. Robins intreats all
those who may need such a retreat to seek oceular proof and without
delay. It is seated en a verdant Lawn, adorned by myriads of
American and other shrubs, and disposed in such extraordinary
taste, that Re ton would indeed be proud to acknowledge it as his own
offspring. The Kitchen Garden is shut out by means of no in-
considerable tact, and ornamented by the Hermitage ; this with the
luxuriant Orchards form altogether a delightful ensemble. The
offices are capital, and very abundant, and those adapted to Agri-
cultural pursuits are so good as to leave nothing to be desired.
The Villa is aided in its outward appearance by a Veranda, which
encireles it.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO ACRES IS THE
EXTENT OF THE DOMAIN,
Varied, in every direction by the
HANGING WOODS,
and full-grown Plantations. The country far and near appears as
ONE CONTINUED PARK;
The society is capital, and there is no lack of good fellowship. The
soil is adapted to add profit to the pleasure of superintending the
farm. A second crop of clover has been seen in great luxuri-
ance. Cows are fatted on the pasture, and the hops now growing
leave no doubt of the character of the soil. In conclusion, it may be
affirmed it stands alone for its manifold advantages. It is on lease
(shortly expiring) to Mr. Hartnall, at only 130/. a-year.
Particulars may be had 20 days prior to the sale, at the best Inns
at Bromley; the King's-arms, Westerham ; of Messrs. Harrison and
Dobree, Solicitors, Hart-street, Bloomsbury ; the Auction-mart ;

GUILDHALL.

HUSBAND'S LIABILITY.-Mr. Hodson, a tradesman in
Skinner-street, again attended before Mr. Alderman VE.•
NABLES for re-examination, on the charge of refusing to
maintain his wife, whereby she had become chargeable to
the parish of St. Sepulchre's.
On the previous hearing Mr. HUMPHREYS had called
witnesses to show that the wife had committed adultery,
and had cited the case of the " King v. Flintan," in which

Judges Bayley, Littledale, and Park agreed that it is illegal
to commit a husband as a rogue and vagabond for refusing
to maintain his wife after she has committed adultery, in-
asmuch as he is not obliged to answer for her contracts, nor
to receive her into his house ; and where, therefore, the
husband, upon being brought before a Magistrate, tenders
evidence of his wife's criminality, the Justice is bound to
hear and determine thereon.

Mr. HUMPHREYS now offered further evidence against

the wife, amongst which was the following :
Ann Johnson, widow, No. 20, Bowling-green-lane, de-
posed that about half-past eight o'clock on a Saturday
evening, about two months ago, she went up to Mrs. Hod-
son's lodgings, and found Mr. Street (the supposed para-
mour) sitting there. She told him he had better go home
to his wife, and Mrs. Hodson had better go home to her
husband. Mrs. Hodson called upon her next morning,
and said she was quite surprised that she should affront
Mr. Street in that way ; and in the conversation Mrs. Hod-
son said Mr. Street had slept with her many times, and
particularly on the Thursday and Friday preceding.
Mrs. Hodson said, being jealous of her husbandohe left
him on an allowance of 30s. a-week, which was afterwards
reduced to los. She went to Marlow for two months, and,
on returning, she found her husband living in adultery with
another woman, and this exasperated her.
Mr. Alderman VENABLES said the law was quito clear
that a husband was not hound to maintain a wife who had
committed adultery, and that he could not be lawfully com-
mitted as a rogue and vagabond for refusing to maintain
such a wife, but he had a difficulty as to the degree of proof
which should be deemed conclusive of ginL:
Mr. HummazYs said that though the parties had not
been seen in the fact, their conduct was such as left no
room for doubt.

Mr. Alderman VENABLES said he was called upon to
infer, that because it was possible, and perhaps probable,
that Mrs. Hudson had misconducted herself, she had ac-
tually done so. The strict proof, however, went no farther
than gross imprudence. No letters had been produced,
and there was no running away with a pariimour. He
adjudged Mr. Hodson to be imprisoned three days as a
rogue and vagabond.
Mr. Hodson immediately entered into recognizanees to
appeal against the conviction, and was liberated.

SECTION 8.--CIIEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY.

Dr. FARADAY took the chair at 11, and said—Nothing
could be more important than receiving from gentlemen,
celebrated for their works and discoveries, reports which
had been called for by the Society. Such a pleasure was
now at hand, in a report which would be read by Dr. Thom-
son, on the comparative analysis of iron in the different
stages of its manufacture with the hot and cold blasts.
Drs. Dalton and Henry had been associated with him in the
execution of his duty.
Dr. THOMSON said the analysis had been undertaken in
consequence of the difference of opinion which had pre-
vailed at Bristol, at the last meeting of the association, upon
the comparative advantages of the hot and cold blast iron.
He did not know what had been done by Drs. Dalton and
Henry, for living at a great distance from these gentlemen,
he took it for granted that it was intended that each indivi-
dual should make serairate -experiments. A great quantity

of cast iron was made near Glasgow, amounting ani;ually!e

200,000 tons. Glasgow was surrounded by one of the
richest coal fields, and the iron ore near was of chloride

ility. Of this ore lie had analyzed more tha❑ 80 different
cimens, selected with great care. In general some no-

tion

mi,,htbe formed of the goodness of ore by its specific

gravity; the higher the gravity the better the ore ; but this
rule was not without exceptions, as the heaviest ore he met
with was alloyed with a mixture of coal, by which its
value was depreciated. The heaviest iron stone he
had met with in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, had a

NATIONAL LOAN LIFE ASSURANCE

There has been, as the reader will perceive by the adver-
ti*ernent in another column, a very important improve-
ment effected in the system of Life Assurance by the Na-
tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, recently esta-
blished in London. Hitherto the few who are rich, or at
all events possessed of an incontingent income, have had
a monopoly by the working of the system, of the advan-
tages which life assurance unquestionably holds out. The
obligation of paying the premium at a specified time made
it peculiarly hazardous for a man whose property consisted
in his brains and his hands, to assure his life—for it might
happen that on some one occasion want of employment or
sickness would prevent the possibility of his being punctual
with the payment of the premium, and then the policy va-
nished, no matter how large the aggregate of the person's
payments. Besides death being the only contingency on
which the Assurance Society would become liable to a de-
mand upon them, the love of offspring was the only motive
a parent had to assure his life. The second contingency
of misfortune, introduced into its scheme by the Society
to whose prospectus we are referring, more than doubles
the motive for Assurance by bringing self-love into play ;
And it also renders it safe and expedient for him, whose
income is uncertain and contingent to effect a policy upon his
life ; for the company guarantee the loan at any time, of
a sum equal to two-thirds of the value of the policy to
the party assured, should he require such aid, and upon
the simple security of the policy itself. We anticipate
much good in the moral and social condition of the people
from this admirable scheme, which is eminently calculated
to serve its authors, and at the same time to introduce
a spirit of sobriety and prudence among the industrious
classes.
