MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Oct. 5.

(Before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant-Judge.)

James David Jeffries and John Naylor were indicted
for having stolen 1291b5. weight of lead, the property of
the Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company, in
a vessel called the Parana, in the port of London.

Mr. Parry having detailed the facts of the case,

James Carter stated that he was in the employment
of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, and' was
ship-keeper on board the Parana, which had recently
arrived from the West Indies, and was now lying in the
export dock of the company for repairs. The prisentrs
were known to him as lighterrnen. On the arrival of
the ship from her voyage there was a large quantity of
ashes on board. The prisoners had the conduct ci
barge to be laden with ashes and carried away. The
ship's company loaded the barge. On the 13th of
September, between one and two o'clock, when the
ship's company had all gone away, lie saw the pii-
soner Naylor bring a piece of lead out of the engine-
room. At this time the barge was lying alongside the
ship full of ashes. Naylor then went with the lead to
the side of the ship on which the barge was, and before
witness could get forward to him he let the piece of lead
fall from his hand. When he got to him he told him to
bring up what he had put into the barge. Naylor then
told Jeffries, who was in the barge, to give him up the
lead, which, by being covered with ashes, had been
concealed from view. Upon this, Jeffries pulled up the
lead, but witness let it remain there until the chief oilicer
of the Parana came on board. Naylor said be vas
sorry for what he had done. A further search was
after wards made of the barge by a man of the name of
Smith, when four other pieces of lead were found. Tie
had been in the engine room about one hour previom!y,
when he knew all the pieces of lead were safe.

John Smith corroborated the evidence as to fiznling
three other pieces of lead in the barge.
Thomas Hoy, police officer of the East and Wcst
India Docks, said the prisoner Naylor was given into
his custody on the 13th September, when on be ng
told with what he was charged, he said, "It is a lad
job—l have done it, but Jeffries knows notlii:,g
about it."

Mr. Sleigh and Mr. O'Brien having addressed the
jury for the prisoners, they returned a verdict of guilty
against Naylor, and not guilty as regarded Jefferies.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to hard labour for
nine months.

Elizabeth Goodman, of No. 13, Brydges-street, Coven t-
garden, was indicted, at the suit of the parochial autho-
rities of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, far keeping a dis-
orderly house. She was found guilty, and sentenced to
hard labour for six months.

DARLINGTON.

Oct. 4.—One fatal case of cholera has occurred here.
A woman named Atkinson, a person of intemperate
habits, who had been ailing for a fortnight, died on
Saturday night. She was attended by two medical
men, but the disease was too far advanced for the re-
medies applied to be of any service. Some medicine
prescribed for her a few days before her death she had
thrown away. She was buried on Sunday afternoon in
Trinity churchyard ; the coffin was not taken into the
church. The officer of health has given orders for the
bedding to be burnt, and for the house being fumigated
with chloride of lime. There have been two other cases,
but both have recovered. Diarrhoea, though it has been
prevailing to some extent, is much below what we usu-
ally have had at this season of the year. The town ii
in a good state to meet an attack of cholera, the local
board of health has been so active since the appearance
of the epidemic at Newcastle.

" Gentlemen,—l beg you to assure the Chamber that
its address has given me much satisfaction. I remark
with pleasure the high importance which the Chamber
attaches to the reciprocal confidence between the Sove-
reign and the people, and to the consolidation of the

lands to the House of Orange. Let the Chamber be
convinced that its sentiments will find an echo in me,
and that I highly appreciate them."

MANCHESTER.

The death of a young man named James Maxwell, a
mechanic, residing in Fairfield-street, which took place
on Sunday evening, has been certified to have resulted
from "Asiatic cholera." We have heard that the symp-
toms differed from those usually observed in connection
with the disease, especially in the absence of diarrheas ;
but that the medical gentleman who was called in on
Sunday morning has no doubt as to the case being one
of cholera. The general health of the neighbourhood
continues remarkably good ; yesterday there were only
eight cases of diarrhoea under treatment by the medical
officers of the Manchester township, and they were all
of an ordinary character.

SHERIFFS COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before S. T. Hall, Esq., Deputy Undersheriff.)
LONSDALE'S EXECUTORS V. SMART.

This was an action to recover the sum of 4/. 17s. 4d.,
the amount of an attorney's bill. The defendant is a
licensed victualler in the Borough.
It appeared from the evidence that the defendant was
the owner of several houses at Stepney, near one of the
stations of the Blackwall railway, and in consequence of
the smoke and steam from the engines, and the cinders
falling on the premises, the value of the property was
so much depreciated that defendant instructed Mr.
Lonsdale to apply to the Company either to purchase
the property or to make some compensation. After
some consultations Mr. Lonsdale said that at that time
(1849) the law was in a very unsettled state as to nui-
sances of this description, and it was resolved that the
plaintiff should memorialise the board of directors.
Mr. Lonsdale did not further interfere, and the result
of the application to the board was not made known.
Mr. Nicholls, the managing clerk to Mr. Lonsdale,
the deceased, was called for the plaintiff, and proved
that the work .was done, and that defendant had pro-
mised to pay, but afterwards objected, on the ground
that he had only interfered for the benefit of the credi-
tors. In cross-examination, he said that the work was
done for Mr. Lonsdale, since whose decease the business
had been conducted by Mr. Yetts, under the firm of
Yetts and Lonsdale, but Mr. Yetts had not purchased
the debts, as Mr. Lonsdale's affairs were being wound
up, under an order in Chancery, and he (witness) was
appointed to collect the debts. The name of Lonsdale
was retained only to draw the attention of clients, and
obtain an introduction of Mr. Yetts.

Mr. Lonsdale, the son of the deceased, confirmed the
evidence of the last witness as to the work done.
The defence was that defendant had not derived any
benefit from the work done, and that if the bill had been
taxed it would not amount to more than 2/.

The defendant was called, and his evidence was to the
effect that he had not retained Mr. Lonsdale, but the
business was done only in a "friendly way."
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 41. 10s. Gd.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 29th ult., contains
four Royal decrees ; one dividing the country into
divisions for public works ; another reforming the
organisation of the body of civil engineers ; the
third regulating fairs and markets ; and the fourth
making changes in the personnel of the judicial
body.

Queen Isabella had been ill for two days with a
sore throat, and had had to be bled. But her Ma-
jesty had completly recovered, and proposed to go
to the Church of Atocha, accompanied by the King,
to thank God for her happy entrance into the
seventh month of her pregnancy.

General Lara had been confirmed in the Cap-
taincy-General of Madrid.
A Cabinet Council was to be held, for the pur-
pose of fixing, as was generally supposed, the day
of the re-opening of the Cortes.
From Madrid, on the 30th, we learn that the
programme of Comte San Luis (Sartorius) has
been unanimously adopted by his colleagues.
The Commission nominated by the Government
to inquire into the question of differential duties
has, says the Nacion, not been able to come to a
definite resolution on the subject, one portion of it
being in favour of protection to Spanish vessels,
the other against it. The Government will conse-
quently have to decide the matter.

Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, and
the Hon. Mr. Wyse, English ambassador at Athens,
had paid a visit to Zante, after which the latter
returned to Athens, and the former went by a

Gazette, " that the Republic of the Seven Islands
will become one of eight islands."

VIENNA, THURSDAY.
Accounts have been received, per Trieste tele-
graph, from Constantinople, to the 26th.
The French and Austrian Ambassadors had
urged the Sultan to accept the Vienna Note ; but
he refused to do so.

The Grand National Council consequently met,
and approved unanimously of the Ministers' con-
duct in declaring war.

A meeting was also held to frame an address to
the Sultan, requesting him solemnly to declare war.
The Berlin telegraphic correspondent announces
the departure of General Guyon for Warsaw.
Report says that the Austrian soldiers on fur-
lough are all to be recalled forthwith.
Another telegraphic dispatch, via Trieste, says :
" The beginning of the war is very probable.
Firmans with regard to it were expected on the
27th, and were already sent to head-quarters.
" There was great financial embarrassment, and
a great augmentation of paper currency."

•
BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT.—OcT. 5.
(Before D. D. Heath, Esq.)
LAST V. EIALL.—EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A MARRIED
MAN.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a trades-
man carrying on business at Camden-town, to recover
the sum of 1/. 10s. money lent. Plaintiff, a big whis-
kered middle-aged man, stated that the defendant,
Elizabeth Hall, who resided with her father next door
to him, had on different occasions borrowed money in
the whole to the above amount, which being *sable to
get repaid back he had brought her to that court.
By Mr. Williams, who attended for the defendant—
He was a married man and the defendant had promised
to keep single till he was a widower, when she would
marry him. He did not exact such promise by threats.
The defendant, in reply to the claim, said that it did
not exist, but admitted that, unknown to her father, she
had several times borrowed small sums of the plaintiff
but had always paid him back, and was not now in-
debted to him. On one occasion the plaintiff expressed
his love for her, and under a threat of destroying her
and himself with a double-barrelled gun be always kept
loaded if she did not keep single till his wife died, and
then marry him, she consented to do so. She, however,
afterwards considered the matter as a mere joke, and
formed an acquaintance with a young man to whom she
was shortly going to be married : and this coming to
plaintiff's knowledge, be had been latterly in the habit
of reiterating his threats with such vehemence as to in-
duce her to make her father aware of the facts.
Plaintiff—At any rate the money is owing to me.
His Honour observed that he did not think it was,
there being no proof beyond his bare statement. He
could not help saying that it was very silly for any
young woman to make such a promise (as defendant
acknowledged she bad done) to a married man, who was
very censurable in exacting it. He believed plaintiff
had made a false demand out of paltry jealous revenge,
and his decision would, therefore, be against him.
Judgment for defendant, with costs allowed, to be paid
by plaintiff.

The screw steam-ship Phoebe, at this port, from Smyrna,
reports having seen, on the 17th ult., two line-of-battle ships
proceeding to Besika Bay, from the southward and west-
ward. On the 28th came through the Straits of Gibraltar,
with an east wind, in company with about 300 sail, bound
out of the Mediterranean.

The Montezuma, for Grenada, and the George, for
Alexandria, have just put back—the former with loss of
mainyard.
The Teneriffe (steam-ship), from Liverpool to Constan-

DARLINGTON.

Oct. 4.—One fatal case of cholera has occurred here.
A woman named Atkinson, a person of intemperate
habits, who had been ailing for a fortnight, died on.
Saturday night. She was attended by two medical
men, but the disease was too far advanced for the re-
media applied to be of any service. Some medicine
prescribed for her a few days before her death she had
thrown away. She was buried on Sunday afternoon in
Trinity churchyard ; the coffin was not taken into the
church. The officer of health has given orders for the
bedding to be burnt, and for the house being fumigated
with chloride of lime. There have been two other cases,
but both have recovered. Diarrhoea, though it has been
prevailing to some extent, is much below what we usu-
ally have had at this season of the year. The town is
in a good state to meet an attack of cholera, the local
board of health has been so active since the appearance
of the epidemic at Newcastle.
London, England, 1853-10-06

THE CHOLERA.

The cholera at Newcastle is rapidly on the decline,
as will be seen by the report issued by the General
Board of Health yesterday.

The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhcea
in Newcastle during the present outbreak has been
1,427. In the same period (viz., the first 34 days)
during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in
1831-2 the number of deaths was 246.

Diarrhcea..

The attack of cholera at Walker has proved to be a
severe one. One extra medical officer, two visitors, and
an inspector of nuisances has been appointed, and two
houses of refuge have been established. Seven deaths
have occurred since Monday midnight. Five have been
found lying dead, and many in a state of collapse, chiefly
among the tenants of lodging-rooms. The disease has
thus far been confined to two spots. Much overcrowd-
ing exists in those parts. The total number of deaths
since tire 13th ult. (in a population of 3,200) has
been 17.

GATESHEAD.
Oct. 4.—One death only registered for cholera.
LONDON.

Oct. 5. —A fatal case of cholera occurred yesterday in
a respectable family in Kennington Oval, Lambeth.
The open foul sewer ditch, of which the residents have
so long complained, passes at the rear of the house.
The local authorities of the parish have made urgent
complaints of the long lines of filthy ditches and badly-
constructed sewers traversing the district. Most of the
latter were represented rather as depositories of putrid
mud than channels for the removal of the sullage. Dr.
Milroy, in conjunction with Mr. Hall, of the Poor-law
Board, had a conference with the board of guardians of
St. George's, Southwark. Several attacks of cholera
have already taken place in the more neglected and
filthy parts of the parish, and there is much diarrhoea in
some of its districts.

SPECIAL SERVICES IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE RE-AP-
PEARANCE OF THE CHOLERA.—Yesterday morning special
services, under the sanction of the Lord Bishops of
London and Winchester, were performed in the several
churches and chapels throughout the deanery of South-
wark, including the parish of St. George-the-Martyr,
Bermondsey, Christ Church, Surrey, St. Mary, New-
ington, Lambeth, and also at Guy's Hospital, and other
metropolitan parishes, praying the Almighty to avert
and altogether withdraw the cholera.

WINDSOR.
Yesterday, in consequence of a circular received from
the Poor-law Inspector, a special meeting of the guar-
dians of the Windsor Union was held at the board-room
of the workhouse, Old Windsor. The medical officers
were all in attendance, viz.. Mr. Pearl, for the Windsor
district ; Mr. Ridout, for the Egham district ; and Mr.
Brown, for the Sunning-hill district. Each of these
officers reported that all had been done that was neces-
sary or advisable in the way of prevention ; that the
whole of the districts were in an unusually healthy con-
dition ; and that no cases of cholera or malignant fever
had come under their notice.
London, England, 1853-10-06

LEEDS, OCT. 5.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—On receipt of the warlike news by
electric telegraph yesterday, shares went down rapidly,
Midlands receding from 60 to 57, and other heavy stocks
in proportion. This morning, for want of more pacific
assurances, the market is still heavy, and prices remain
almost unchanged. A good deal of business has been done
at the reduced quotations—viz., Lancashire and York
shire, 6li 614 ; Midland Stock, 584 57 ; Leeds Northern
Fifths (4/. paid), 4 dis. ; Leeds Nortlikn Extensions, No.
1,20 s. dis.; Caledonians, 24 ; Eastern Counties, 116 ; York,

LIVERPOOL—Ocp. 5.

The screw steam-ship Phoebe, at this port, from Smyrna,
reports having seen, on the 17th ult., two line-of-battle ships
proceeding to Besika Bay, from the southward and west-
ward. On the 28th came through the Straits of Gibraltar,
with an east wind, in company with about 300 sail, bound
out of the Mediterranean.

The Montezuma, for Grenada, and the George, for
Alexandria, have just put back—the former with loss of
mainyard.

There has been an improved feeling in the Rail-
way market, consequent_upon the advance in Con-
sols, and although the dealings have not been
large, there are parties buying in anticipation of a
rise. London and North-Western have been up about
11., and Midland 10s. to 11. Great Northern are
11. to 11. 10s. higher. Caledonian have improved
10s. to 15s. There have been a few transac-
tions in South Eastern, York and Berwick,
and Great Western at a corresponding advance.
French shares are better than they closed last
night, as it is presumed that the fall which occurred
at Paris yesterday will be recovered when it is
known that there has been a rally here.
The Gold Mine Shares are at improved prices,
the Californian being most in request.
The shares of the Joint Stock Banks have been
heavy, but there has been an advance in the Lon-
don Chartered of Australia and the Oriental.

The Shares of the Australian Land Companies
are again very heavy, but there have not been

many sales.

THE ARMY.

THE RECENT SHOOTING AT A DESERTER.—COURTS-
MARTIAL.—Saturday last district courts-martial were
commenced, to be held at Birr Military Barracks, to
try each of the escort of the depot of the Ist Royal Regi-
ment who were conveying from Maryborough to Athlone
a deserter from the Royal Artillery, named Joseph
Fitzsimons, wbo, on attempting to escape at Rosenallis,
in the Queen's County, was fired at and seriously
wounded during the struggle for his apprehension. Each
of the escort, which was composed of Serjeant Water-
son, Privates Portlock, Chamberlain, Keenan, and
Connolly, were separately tried, except Connolly, who
fired the shot, and who has been committed by the
magistrates for trial at the next assizes of Maryborough.
The court is composed of Major Farrell, 47th depot
(president), and six other officers belonging to the Ist
Royals and 47th Foot. The charges upon which the
prisoners have been arraigned are—that they were
drunk whilst on duty and under arms ; and, further,
that they permitted the deserter abovenamed to escape.
Sub-Inspeotor Locke, of the Mountmellick constabu-
lary ; Constable Allen, from Rosenallis ; John Hanway,
a relieving officer of the Mountmellick union, and the
attendants of the public house at Rosenallis, where the
escort stopped for refreshment when the occurrence took
place, were examined. The proceedings have not termi-
nated. The gentlemen who represented the press, at the
desire of the president, undertook not to publish the evi-
dence until the proceedings are confirmed by the general
of the district.

The light company of the Ist battalion of the 12th
Foot, under the command of Captain John Francis
Kempt, was relieved at Carrickfergus, with the excep-
tion of Lieutenant John Reynolds Palmer, who remains
at that station, by a detachment from Belfast, consisting
of one ensign (John Junan Wilkie), two serjeants, one
drummer, and 40 rank and file. Lieutenant Palmer,
being the senior officer of his rank in the battalion, is
allowed to continue at " Carrick," to take the command.

The inspector-general of military hospitals, Dr.
Macl aen, is at present on his tour of inspection of the
southern district. He uisited the hospital and barracks
at Kilkenny in the latter part of last week, and ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased at the cleanliness and
general arrangements which he witnessed there. He. is
at present at Cork, from whence he proceeds to Lime-
rick.
