SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
DIE CESAREWITM—The following are a few addi-
tional particulars of this race:—Miss Ann took a decided
lead immediately after starting, followed, in a ruck, by
Smuggler Bill, Itaby, Amazement, Glenalvon, Legerde-
main, Malton, Vatican, and several light weights, in
their rear being Lady Evelyn and Dulcet. This order
continued to the bushes, where Vatican and Smuggler
Bill were beaten off. Miss Ann maintained a slight
lead a few yards down the hill, and was then passed
by Malton, Glenalvon, Raby, Legerdemain, Easedarius,
Lady Evelyn, and Amazement, the latter having a slight
lead. In the bottom, however, Legerdemain took up
the running, followed by Raby and Lady Evelyn, and
in this order the race finished, Legerdemain pinning
cleverly by a length, the same between Baby and Lord
Chesterfield's mare; Essedarius fourth, Malton fifth,
and Glenalvon sixth. Miss Ann ran under protest, on
the grouud that she has been running under a wrong
description.

MANCHESTER WATERWO RKS,

BURSTING OF THE WEIR AND DESTRUCTION OF
PROPERTY BY THE FLOOD.—A violent snow and
thunder-storm occurred on Friday last at Glossop,
at the foot of some of the Yorkshire and Derbyshire
hills. Since that occurrence the exceedingly heavy
and continuous fall of rain and snow on the summit
of the hills in question has been productive of serious
consequences. The Manchester corporation has
commenced a series of works for the collection of
the five streams which flow from these hills through
the Longdendale Valley, principally fed by some
powerful springs near Woodhead, with a view to
supplying Manchester with this water. The cost of
the reservoirs and other works will probably be not
much less than a million of money, and their con-
struction proceeded very satisfactorily up to Sunday
last, when an accident occurred which will probably
throw the works back by several months. For about
ten days there had been an almost uninterrupted
fall of rain on the hills. The weather cleared up
for some hours on Saturday, but about ten o'clock
on Saturday night the rain commenced again,
and never ceased till ten o'clock on Sunday
night. The water came down literally in torrent 4.
About two o'clock on Sunday the flood down the
Eden brook so completely overtopped the new weir
which the company have erected across that stream,
as to completely carry off the coping of the immense
barrier of stone-work. In consequence of the break-
ing down of this weir the new river course, for the
purpose of carrying off the floods, was rendered
useless, and the water, consequently impounded into
the valley behind the embankments of the river
(which had been raised to about twenty-four feet
above the pipes), and collected there, until half-past
five o'clock on Sunday evening it flowed over the
top and cut down and swept away the embankment
itself. The immense volume of water thus liberated
from all control burst down the vale of the Etheron
with fearful violence, sweeping everything before
it. The lower story of the mills of Messrs. Hobbs
and Sidebottom was flooded in an instant. From
two to three thousand pieces of printing cloths and
shirtings were entirely destroyed in this mill, besides
a quantity of yarns, and the flood washed down the
day and Sunday-school attached to the premises, and
part of a warehouse. It also washed down a great
number of yard walls, and the fences of the sur-
rounding fields. A bridge for carriages across the
partly river Etheron at this point was swept. away,
and will have to be re-erected, several of the piers be-
ing destroyed.
Other buildings and property of various kinds fell
a prey to the overwhelming flood, and it is supposed
that the loss altogether will be about 3,0001.

The Lord Chancellor has appointed Friday, Nov.
2, at his residence in Park-lane, for the reception of the
Lord Mayor elect, in order to signify Her Majesty's
approbation of his Lordship. On the same day (the
first of Michaelmas Term) the Lord Chancellor will
receive the Judges, Queen's Counsel, &c., in Park-lane,
and will afterwards proceed to his Court at Westminster,
where the Noble and Learned Lord will sit on that day.
During the remainder of the terra the Lord Chancellor
will sit at Lincoln's Inn.

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT CHARLOTTE HARRIS.—
A memorial adopted at a public meeting held at Taun-
ton, praying for a commutation of the sentence of death
pronounced upon this unfortunate woman, at the last
Summer Assizes at Bridgewater, for the murder of her
husband by poison, but the execution of which sentence
was stayed on account of her being enciente, has been
answered by Sir George Grey to the effect that he sees
no grounds to warrant his interference with the due
course of law,

AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY.
VIENNA, Ocr. 4.—The Hanseatic Consul at Con- !
stantinople has sent a letter to Berlin, dated, Sept. '
21, in which he states, that both the Russian and
Austrian Ambassadors at Constantinople, Messrs.
Von Sturmur and Von Titoff, had quitted the ca-
pital on the 2d of October.
Comorm was delivered up to the Imperial troops
on the eve of that day. The tete-du-pont was oc-
cupied, and two battalions of infantry took up their
positions within the walls of the city.
In the morning, the Hungarian soldiers, to the
number of about twenty-five thousand men, received
their pay. They manifested complete indifference
regarding the fall of their city. This, however, is
not the case with their leaders. The above intelli-
gence is confirmed by an official report, dated,
Head-quarters, Acs.
Szemere, Haynik, and Ivanka, have actually
effected their escape from Widdin. The Pasha him-
self furnished them with passports. Kossuth is furious
that he has not been able 1,03 obtain a similar favour,
and also that he has been so shamefully abandoned
by all his former partisans.
Another account says he was completely stripped,
and has also effected his escape to the mountains in
Cephalonia.
Intelligence from Corfu, of the 30th, says the Lord
High Cornmiisioner and the President of the free
towns of the lonian Isles are doing all in their power
to get possession of the insurgent chiefs. Fourteen
individuals had already been tried, and were
sentenced to death by hanging, at the
time our informant quitted the islands. Sixty-
three persons received corporal punishment,
and according to the extent of their crime received
the additional sentence of from one to several years'
imprisonment. One of them was sentenced to impri-
sonment for life.
On the 19th, 250 shops were destroyed by fire in
the Bazaar of Suo ; the damage was estimated at
1,500,000 piastres. It is not known whether the
Government will permit the Bazaar to be rebuilt of

stone.
BERLIN, OCT. 7.—The Government has given M.
Von Bodelschwing, its Plenipotentiary at the Ad-
ministrative Council, an order to make immediate pro-
positions relative to a speedy convocation of the Diet.
to regulate the affairs of Germany. There has not
been any note of the kind received. Like all imper-
fect intelligence, the report has originated from incor-
rect statements. The actual version is as follows :
On occasion of the Swiss disputes, M. Von Wesen-
dorff, Plenipotentiary of Russia, communicated to
M. Schleinitz, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
a confidential dispatch from M. Von Nesselrode, in
which that Minister expressed to its Envoy the desire
to see Prussia and Austria of one accord on the
Swiss question. Among other things, he called the
general attention of the Cabinet of Berlin to the fact
that the action of Prussia depended entirely on its
good understanding with Austria. It appears that
M. Von Schleinitz subjected this note to the same
fate that befel the note of Lord Palmerston on the
Ilungarian question.

INTRAMURAL BURIALS.
On Tuesday evening the National Society for the sup-
pression of Burials in Towns held a meeting at their
rooms, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, Mr. G. A. Walker,
president, in the chair. The minutes of the previous
1 meeting having been confirmed,
Mr. TIIICKE read a copy of the memorial presented
to Sir George Grey, Bart., and the Secretary of
State's reply thereto. The memorial, which was
voluminous and comprehensive, stated that the society
was convinced, from long okservation and innumer-
able facts that the burial of the dead amidst the living
was demoralising, dangerous to public health, and
destructive of life, as being an active agent in gene-
rating cholera and other maladies—and that supported
in that conviction by a Select Committee of the House
of Commons in 184-2
—by the House of Commons in
1845—by every enlightened person—by members of
—the:medicalfaculty— by a large portion of the clergy
by the press almost universally—and, finally, by the
Board of Health—they respectfully suggest to the
Secretary of State the propriety of advising her
Majesty to issue an Order in Council for the imme-
diate closing of all graveyards in cities and towns—a
measure that would be attended with the most sani-
tary results, and which would receive the approbation
of the Legislature and secure the thanks of her Ma
jesty's liege subjects.
To which the Secretary of State gave the sub
joined reply :

" Whitehall, October, 1849.

" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George
Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter trans.
mitting a memorial from the committee of the
Society for the Abolition of Burials in Towns, on the
subject of intramural burials.
" C. J. Thicke, Esy." 't H. WA:DDINGTON.
Upon the imition of Mr. WILSON, the answer was
entered on the minutes.
Mr. Tuicae real the following letters :—From
Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., congratulating the society
upon the public being alive to the barbarism and un-
healthiness of intramural burials ; from Mr. Wake•
field, Macclesfield, stating that measures were being
taken and public meetings called there to close the
overgorged churchyards, as being the primary cause
of disease and death; from Waterford, announcing
that in that city all the burial places were about being
closed; and from an inhabitant, complaining of the
overcrowded, disgusting condition of St. Paul's
Churchyard, Covent-garden, which, according to the
writer, was so full that the bodies were interred
Iwithin a foot of the surface, and sent forth a most
pestilential stench.
The CHAIRMAN alluded to a communication received
from certain inhabitants of Hampstead, respecting the
non- interment of a body that was kept in a house four
months. Through the interference of the society
measures were taken to bury the body.
Mr. A. MARSHALL felt it to be his duty to expose
the disgusting, unhealthy condition of St. Giles's
churchyard, which, in 1808, was deemed so over-
crowded, that an Act of Parliament was passed to
enable the authorities to raise money to purchase
more ground for interments; which Act remained a
dead letter to the present day. It had been closed
ten years, and then re-opened. Since then 700 bodies
had been annually buried there, in a space under ten
acres.—(Hear, hear.) He had seen grave. diggers at
work there before six in the morning. It was un-
necessary for him to tell the meeting that the most
disgraceful methods were adopted to clear away and
make room for fresh bodies. The smell, at certain
times, from the burial-place, which was saturated
with human remains, was dreadful. In 1817 the
then vestry clerk complained of its having been
kept open ; and Pennant, in his work on London,
described it as an abomination, and that he bad seen
pits filled with human bodies in it, while others were
left open for new corners. Ile (Mr. Marshall) heard
that the Board of Health and the parochial authori-
ties were in communication respecting its immediate
closing.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN, from his knowledge, declared St.
Giles's to be one Of the most crowded churchyards in
London. In less than ten acres of ground it contained
48,000 bodies. A. witness before the Select Com-
mittee of the House of Commons was asked when it
would be filled? He replied, "I have asked the
same question, and was told that.it would never be
full."—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
Mr. SHAND begged to direct the ;attention of the
meeting to the frightfully dangerous condition of St.
slave's and St. John's burying grounds, Tooley-street.
They were surcharged to repletion. From 1832 to
1847 upwards of 4,500 had been buried in the narrow
space which these grounds occupied. When in office
he and his brother officers did all in their power to
close them. He had a committee of inquiry appointed,
comprising the rector, himself, and others, who
examined the old ground, and found that the bodies
were interred within eighteen and nineteen inches of
the surface, and some so close to it that they touched
the coffins as they walked along—(Hear)—yet the
villainy of sextons, grave-diggers, and otht-rs, suc-
ceeded in continuing these abominations. Within a
few years twenty-eight members of one family were
buried in one grave. The grave-diggers could, by
boring, tell the state of the coffins underneath,
and whether the bodies were fat or lean, or putre-
fying. Southwark churchyard was also overgorged.
A short time since a young grave-digger
belonging to it died. Before his death, addressing
his brother workman, he said, " Jim, bury me close
to the church. There you will not have to cut me
up." And so he was buried. But, after the fire, his
and the bones of hundreds were disturbed. The
school-house, containing 250 children, was built
close to the churchyard, the efliuvia from which was
so dreadful, that the police told him that, especially in
the morning, they were compelled to take it " wide
width," that is, avoided it as much as possible.—
(Hear, hear.) He regretted that these abominations,
so offensive to the sight and so dangerous to health,
were tolerated, although they had sufficient money to
purchase new ground. The rector told him that,
when he read the burial service, he invariably adopted
the precaution of taking his position on the bide
whence the wind blew.—(Hear, hear.)

consequence of the aversion that existed to bury in
the " Irish Corner ;" a corner that had been cleared

Onhame to bury
.that occa-
sion one gentleman said that it was a s
in such a crowded neighbourhood within 18 inchesh ofs
the surface. It was even suggested that th
course would be to remove the fragments of flesh
fleesht
and bones, with the coffin-wood, if the expense was
not too great. The funds of the vestry and the health
of the living were placed on opposite scales ; the
former preponderated.—(Hear, hear.) He was not
astonished at the police being annoyed by the effluvia
from graveyards, for their dark colour and loose tex-
ture made them excellent absorbing surfaces, During

the day the superficial stratum absorbed the heat
emitted from the sun ; at night the earth lost by
radiation the heat it had received in the day, and the
gases eliminated from the grounds, obeying the
impulse of gravity, ascended, scattering themselves
over the human habitations of London ; if heavier,
they remained diffused through the lower strata,
poisoning the inhabitants living close to and under
graveyards.—(Hear, hear.) He had strong hopes in
the good intentions of Government, and felt confident
that her Majesty's advisers would comply with the
prayer of the people, and put down for ever burials
amidst the living.—(Hear, hear.)
Dr. EvANs was willing to give Government the
benefit of good intentions ; still, when he beheld the
Board of Health passing over their President, Mr.
Walker, and going wild chases in search of infor-
mation, he could not conceal his disapprobation of
such conduct.—(Hear, hear.) If any man could
give information upon intramural burials, Mr.
Walker, who dedicated upwards of ten years to
uprooting and exposing the abomination, and who
not only devoted his time, but also his purse to
that object, was the man.—(Hear, hear.) Why,
then, had the Board of Health thus passed over Mr.
Walker ?—(Hear, hear.) He wished to know how
the bodies of paupers were to be carried out of
London ?
The CHAIRMAN—By rail or river. A sweeping
legislative enactment—and nothing else would do—
would meet every exigency.
Dr. G. G. WaTsox, of Liverpool, informed the
'meeting that in Liverpool the authorities and the
Board of Health were consulting upon the best mode
of closing the graveyards, and of carrying into exe-
cution Mr. Walker's measures.
After some further observations by Messrs. Watt,
Tennant, Harrben, and other gentlemen, thanks were
voted to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We stated in our last,
that there had been an increase of business, both in
yarns and goods, on the two preceding days, accom-
panied with rather more of cheerfulness than had
previously prevailed, though without any improve-
ment in prices. We have now to state, that on Satur-
day, the disposition to purchase became somewhat
further apparent ; and the result was that the aggre-
gate business of the three days reached an amount
by no means inconsiderable. It would appear
that the low range of prices has been lat-
terly attracting the attention of merchants and
others, and inclining them to operate. Just as this
fact begins to show itself, the Europa's accounts from
the States, tending to strengthen the prevalent appre-
hension of a backward and short crop of cotton, give
rise to a very extensive speculative and trade demand
in Liverpool, whereby id. per lb. is added to
the value of current American qualities, and
id. to s.l6d. to that of other descriptions.
The effect upon our own market has been an
exhibition of excitement to-day, which contrasts
most singularly with the apathy of buyers and the
spiritlessness of sellers, precisely a week ago. Spin-
ners have universally raised their prices ; and, indeed,
many have declined to sell at present, preferring
to wait and see what course events may take.
The transactions have, however, been on a fair
scale, at jd. and, in some instances, id. advance.
In goods it has been more difficult to obtain
higher rates than in yarns, and in many kinds
the attempt has failed; but in others lid. more has
been realised. The market has, however, been a
most irregular one in all departments. We observe
much uncertainty and anxiety Is to the course which
things may now take. All parties are perplexed and
embarrassed; and although it is generally felt to be
almost impossible that yarns can now go any lower,
but, on the contrary, are likely to go higher, the
satisfaction which this impressioa is calculated to
afford is seriously diminished by the apprehension
that the whole benefit will be absorbed by the in-
creased price of the raw material.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a tolerably
good attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and
the business transacted has been much the same as
that of the previous Monday, both in price and
amount. In the wool market there is no change
worth reporting, except that prices are firm, and the
demand is limited.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.--We have still to
notice a continued activity in the throwing de-
partment; and the manufacturers, in some in-
stances, are working to order for particular
classes of goods. The weavers may be said to
be fairly employed ; and in the dyeing depart-
ment we are happy to report an improvement. The
late news from China, coupled with the general
activity of this and the continental markets, is
having its effect on the prices of raw silks, and from
the tenor of the accounts, it is likely that present
rates will lie fully maintained, with a probability of
advance in the finer descriptions of Chinas ; as those,
when contrasted with the prices of Italian silks, may
I now be considered below their value.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—For the season the
market has been good. The fancy manufacturers
have not many orders in hand, but hope that, as the
season advances, business will improve. Many very
superior patterns have been shown. Wool remains
firm, but not much doing.
HALIFAX, SATURDAT.—The demand for worsted
goods, both plain and fancy, is pretty much the same
as it has been for the last week or two ; and there is
no change in the quotations. The spinners are still full
of orders, and some sorts of yarns have realised rather
higher rates. The sales of wool are not extensive, as
the spinners are generally well stocked; but the
market exhibits considerable firmness.

LEEDS, TIIESDAY.—No change since our last ;
market flat to-day, but rather more goods delivered
to order. Prices unaltered, stocks in the Cloth Halls
light; business in the warehouses still continues
rather quiet.

4. In the event of being unable to escape either by
the street-door or roof, the persons in danger should
immediately make their way to a front room window,
taking care to close the door after them; and those
who have the charge of the household should ascer-
tain that every individual is there assembled.
5. All persons thus circumstanced are earnestly
entreated not to precipitate themselves from the
window, while there remains the least probability of
assistance ; and even in the last extremity, recourse
may generally be had to joining sheets or blankets
together, fastening one end round a bedpost or other
piece of furniture in the room. This will enable one
person to lower all the others separately, and the last
may let himself down with comparatively little risk.
In all such cases it is advisable, if possible, to select a
window over a doorway rather than over an area.

6. On an alarm of fire it should be the object of all
persons to direct their of to save the inmates, and
see that instant notice is forwarded to the en ,sine and
escape stations; also ladders and ropes should be
sought for.
7. Two well qualified persons (constables or others)
should ascend to the roof through the adjoining houses;
it is often the case that most efficient assistance can
from thence be rendered the inmates by an entrance
to the upper part of the house on fire, either by the
attic windows, the loft door, or by removing the tiles.
8. When the fire occurs in a narrow street or
court assistance can be given most efficiently from
the windows of the opposite house, particularly by
means of a ladder placed across the street from win-
dow to window.

9. When no other means present themselves the
bystanders had better collect all the blankets, bed-
ding, &c., at hand, and thus be prepared for the
inmates throwing themselves from the wiudows ; if
there be a scarcity of bedding a blanket or carpet held
stretched out by several persons will serve the pur-
pose. At each of the City police-stations a jumping-
sheet is always at hand, and has frequently proved of
great use.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 10.
(More Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
HENRY PATERSON'S BANKRUPTCY.

The bankrupt was a horse dealer and the proprietor
of the Hippodrome, Notting-hill, Bayswater. His
debts are said to be about 5,0001., including 1,0781. due
to Messrs. Tattersall, 5001. to the Mercers' Company
(for which the company has the security of two other
names), and about 1,0001., as put into the bankrupt's
business by Mr. James, nephew of Mr. James, of the
firm of Howell and James.

This was a meeting for the proof of debts and the
choice of altrade assignee.
Mr. Pain (of the firm of Pain and Heatherley) ap-
peared on behalf of the creditors, and Mr. Wettoß for
Messrs. Tattersall. Mr. Fry also appeared on behalf
of Mr. Delarue wholesale stationer, and father-in-law
of Mr. James, to watch the proceedings.
Messrs. Tattersall tendered a proof for 1,0781. on a
bill of exchange for 1,0001., with expenses thereon.
An objection having been taken to the proof; Mr.
Richard Tattersall, jun., said the bill was the accept-
ance of the bankrupt, as drawn upon him by his
father, Mr. Paterson, sen., and had been received by
their firm from the latter, in liquidation of a debt.
The CommissioNtstam-Was the bill received by
yoarself from Mr. Paterson, senior ? Mr. Tattersall
—No, your Honour.
The CommissioNza—Ts the member of your firm
present who did receive it ? Mr. Tattersall—No.
The COMMISSIONER—Then call the bankrupt.
The bankrupt was called, and his evidence went to
show that his father called upon him, and told him
that if he would give him his acceptance, Messrs.
Tattersall would cash it for him. He thought it very
kind of Messrs. Tattersall, and gave the acceptance.
About an hour afterwards he received a messsage
from Messrs. Tattersall. Upon waiting on them, he
was informed that his father being largely i❑ their
debt, they could not discount the bill, but would re-
tain it as security for the father's debt. To this pro-
posal he consented.
Mr. WETTON informed the Court that his client
had subsequently obtained judgment against the bank-
rupt for the amount now sought to be proved.
The COMMISSIONER-1n what manner was the
judgment obtained ? Mr. Wetton—By default.
The COMMISSIONER—Then that goes for nothing,
Mr. Jones, a creditor upon a bill of exchange for
721., submitted that his Honour would not admit the
proof upon such evidence.
Mr. Wetton submitted that the bill having been re-
ceived for a bond fide debt, due to his clients by the
bankrupt's father, and judgment having been obtained
thereupon, the proof must be admitted.
The CoadMiSstoNEa—l will allow it to be entered
as a claim, and to be the subject of further consider-
ation on a future day. But 1 will not receive it as a
proof.

Mr. WETTON trusted his Honour would so far al-
low it to be received as to admit his clients to vote in
the choice of assignees.
The COMMISSIONER—I will not.

A somewhat warm discussion then ensued between
the contending parties, in which Mr. Fry, Mr.
Wetton, and others took part. As far as could be
ascertained, Mr. Fry alleged that the bankrupt had
never mentioned a word to Mr. James that there was
such a claim upon him as this 1,0781., or he Mr.
James, would never have put 1,0001. into the business.
Ile further complained that Messrs. Tattersall had
not acted fairly in allowing the bill to remain unpaid
several years, and not proceeding to obtain judgment
until after Mr. James had parted with his money.
The elder Paterson had been many years in Messrs.
Tattersall's employ, and they ought not to have
adopted the course they bad.
Mr. WETTON, in reply, said, that the debt owing
to• Messrs. Tattersall by Paterson, sen., was a bona
fide one, and that they had not taken any earlier pro-
ceedings against the bankrupt from a feeling of re-
luctance to raise obstacles against a young man suc-
ceeding in his business. His clients had not now
made him a bankrupt, and only sought to prove for
the debt.
Mr. FEY said the fiat was obtained on the bank-
rupt's own petition, and left the court by no means
satisfied with the explanations that had been given.
Mr. Joseph Smith, farrier, of Notting-hill, was
chosen as the trade assignee.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct. 10.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge.)
James Ilolyfield, 22, was indicted for stealing a
Dutch clock, value 205., the property of the guar-
dians of the poor of the parish of St. Mary, White-
chapel. In a second count of the indictment it was
described as the property of the Right Rev. the
Bishop of London, and in a third it was laid as the
property of some person unknown.
Mr. O'BRIEN appeared for the prosecution. From
the statement of the Learned Counsel in opening the
case, and the evidence subsequently given, it seemed
that the circumstances out of which the case arose
were of a singular nature. A poor man named Chas.
Lawrence and his wife were removed from their
dwelling, 11, King's Arms-court, to Whitechapel
workhouse, suffering from cholera. After they
had been there some time the case became urgent,
and they were removed to the London Hospital,
where they both died shortly after admission,
and their children, three in number, were taken
into the workhouse. By a recent Act of Perna
went the guardians of the poor of any parish are
empowered to take possession of the property of any
pauper to whom they had been giving relief, after
that pauper's death, to reimburse themselves,
as far as the value of the property goes,
for the relief given ; and availing themselves
of this power, the guardians of St. Mary,
Whitechapel, took possession of the furniture in
Lawrence's lodgings, and by their direction it was
removed to a shed adjoining the workhouse. The
prisoner was at that time an in-door pauper, and he
was seen by some of the officers of the •stablishment
leaving the place where the furniture was deposited
with a Dutch clock, which had belonged to Lawrence,
under his arm. To get to the shed from the male
side of the establishment, which he had no right to
leave, he must have got over a gate ten feet high.
In order to prevent any question as to the ownership
of the property, it was laid in the indictment, first,
as belonging to the guardians, then as the property of
the Bishop of London, to whom, as ordinary, all the
property of intestate persons belongs until adminis-
tered to ; and thirdly, as the property of some person
unknown.

The prisoner, in his defence, said that he should
not have taken the clock, or even thought of going to
the shed at all, had he not seen the task-master go and
ransack some boxes and take some trinkets, which he
afterwards gave to one of the female paupers, to take
improper liberties with her. There were plenty of
persons in the house who could prove that what he
said was true.

The Learned JUDGE then called the task-master,
who was one of the witnesses for the prosecution, and
asked him pointedly whether there was any truth in
the prisoner's statement ?-lle positively swore that
it was false.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
sentenced to three months' hard labour.

Frederick William Molloy, aged 61, a bald-headed
man, with an impudent expression of countenance,
was indicted for fraudulently obtaining by false pre •
tences from Henry Mantling certain meat, drink, and
lodging, to the value of 65., with intent to cheat and
defraud him of the same.

The prisoner appeared to be excessively deaf, and
when called upon to plead he pretended not to hear
the question, though it was repeated loudly, close to
his ears" at least half-a-dozen times by one of the
officers. At length the indictment itself was hwided

to him, with a written request that he would either
say that he was or was not guilty, and after reading
it over attentively. he said boldly " guilty."
The evidence upon which the indictment was
founded was as follows : —On Saturday, the 30th of
September, the prisoner presented himself at the
Cale de Paris, in the Haymarket, and told the head
waiter, who appeared on this occasion as prosecutor,
that he wanted a dinner and a bed. The waiter,
observing that though somewhat respectably dressed,
he had no luggage, told him that they were not in the
habit of providing lodgings for gentlemen who brought
no luggage ; upon which the prisoner said it was all
right, his portmanteau would arrive next morning,
and he wrote a letter to Mrs. Ridley, Barnes-terrace,
Surrey, requesting her to forward it; but it was
afterwards ascertained that there was no such person
as the address indicated. That day the amount in-
curred by the prisoner was 165.; and his dinner, with
wine, the next day came to 63., the sum mentioned in
the indictment. When the witness presented his bill,
the prisoner said all his friends were out of town, and
as he was short of money he would give him a cheque
for 51. upon his bankers, and he wrote as follows,
upon half a sheet of note-paper :
" Pay to Mr. John Esden, or bearer, the sum of
five pounds.
41, 51 " F. W. MOLLOY.
" Messrs. Spooner and Attwood, Gracechurch-
street."

This was promptly forwarded to the bank, and it
was brought back by the messenger, marked " No
account." The prisoner was then given into custody.
He was searched by Sergeant Gray, 10 C, but no
money whatever was found upon him.
In answer to the COURT,
The waiter said that he should certainly have given
the prisoner into custody had he not given the cheque,
or paid the bill when it was presented to him. He
should personally be the looser of the amount.

The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to
three months' hard labour.

Though this was the only charge upon which the
prisoner was indicted, and the above all that transpired
in court, there were several persons in attendance pre-
pared to prove other cases of precisely the same kind,
and from letters and information in the hands of
Sergeant Grey, the officer who had charge of the case,
it appears that the prisoner has for some time been
systematically victimizing hotel and tavern keepers
both in London and in the country with a degree of
cunning and audacity worthy of the great Dando
himself, whom he equalled, if not excelled, as a
swindling tactician. In July last he patronized the
Warwick Hotel, near the Great Western Railway
terminus at Paddington, with his presence,
but when the bill had reached a guinea,
Mr. Pearson, the landlord, discovered what his cus-
tomer was, and very prwlently ejected him from the
house. At \Valkeu's Hotel, in Dean-street, Soho, he
lived in sumptuous style for two months ; and when
the bill was presented to him, he talked in grandilo-
quent terms of his high connexions, and gave a
cheque, like the above, upon Alessrs. Spooner and
Co., for the amount. Sergeant Grey produced a
letter which had been received by the proprietor of the
Café de Paris, from the landlord of the Pied Bull at
Streatham, stating that at the latter place the pri-
son, as " Mr. Mitford, 6, Park-street, Park- lane,"
had run up a bill which he went away without
paying. Mr. Pawsey, landlord of the Hare and
Hounds, Hampstead, was in attendance at the court,
to show that the prisoner had run up a bill at his
house to the amount of 61., in respect of which lie
gave another valueless cheque upon Messrs. Spooner
and Attwood. He practised the same game upon a
tavern-keeper at Shepherd's Bush; and other in-
stances, showing how extensively the prisoner had
pursued this system, could be given. His name also
figured conspicuously in the circular of the Trade
Protection Society.
Mary Merrick, 26; Bridget M'Kenzie, 22 ; Cathe-
rine Pratt, 34 ; and Mary Ann Sullivan, 17 ; were in-
dicted for robbing 1) avid Dorward, a master mariner,
of a gold watch, gold chain, four gold seals, a 51. note,
two sovereigns, and other articles.
Mr. Parry appeared for the prisoner Merrick, and
Mr. Payne defended M`Kenzie. Sullivan pleaded
guilty.
The prosecutor stated that he accompanied the
prisoner Sullivan to a disreputable house in the
vicinity of Ratcliff-highway, kept by the prisoner
Pratt. He was induced to partake of some gin and
beer, and directly aftetwards he fell asleep, and when
he regained his consciousness, he found that he had
been robbed of all his money, his watch, with gold
chain and seals attacked, and a portion of his clothing.
The only evidence against the three prisoners, who
pleaded not guilty, was the positive statement of the
prosecutor that they were present in the room when
he drank the potation, and that when Sullivan said
she took the money at the instigation of Merrick, the
latter said, " Well, you were a fool to be persuaded
to rob the man by me."
The Learned JUDGE withdrew the case from the
jury as regarded Pratt and M'Kenzie, but left it for
their decision as regarded Merrick.

The jury returned a verdict of Acquittal.
Sullivan was sentenced to six months' hard labour,

The Learned JUDGE told Pratt that she had ex-
perienced a very narrow escape, for had she been
convicted the sentence upon her would certainly have
been ten years' transportation, for though there was
a want of legal evidence against her, the court was
satisfied that the prosecutor had been " hocussed" in
her house, and robbed with her knowledge, and she
might tell her associates, and the keepers of houses
like her own, that every perso❑ who suffered this
practice of drugging in their house would, if con-
victed in that court, be sent out of the country.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

John Desmond, of 45, Long- alley, was brought for
final examination before Mr. Alderman Carden,
charged with stabbing a City constable.

From the evidence taken on the former occasion
it appeared that while William Smith, 244, was
passing Sharp's-alley, in \Vest-street, the prisoner
came and flourished a most formidable stick with a
knob in the shape of a life-preserver over him, and at
last made a blow at his head, which the officer
avoided. Smith offered to take no notice of the
affair if he would go away quietly, which he refused
to do, and struck the constable, who took him into
custody, when a desperate struggle ensued, during
which the officer was pelted with stones by a crowd
of 150 to 200 persons, who had assembled. The
prisoner was so violent that eventually it required
five officers to convey him to the station, when it was
discovered that Smith had been stabbed under the
left ear nearly touching the carotid artery, also in
the breast, between the first and second ribs on the
left side, and also on the left knee. Although the
officer did not see a knife with the prisoner, one
witness swore that he saw him flourishing it during
the struggle, and that he caught his arm and jerked
it out of his hand. Another witness also deposed
to seeing the prisoner with a clasp knife, and a third
proved picking the knife up, which fell at his feet
when jerked out of his hand. They all identified
the knife, and further stated that the large blade was
open.
Mr. Charles Borlaise Childs, surgeon to the police
force, deposed to the nature of the wounds, which
had they been a little deeper would have proved fatal.
The knife produced was such a one as would have
inflicted the wounds.

Smith called the attention of Alderman Carden to
the knife, which had some plaster on it, and the pri-
soner was a mason. The prisoner denied it was his
knife, or that he ever had one.

Alderman CARDEN commended the forbearing con-
duct of the officer, and fully committed the prisoner
for trial, and the depositions being made out, he was
conveyed to Newgate.
CLERKENWELL.

Thomas lll‘Donald, a respectable-looking young
man, was finally examined before Mr. Combe, charged
by Mr. William Ledger Broxholme, chemist and
druggist, of Holloway-road, with stealing five shil-
lings' worth of lozenges, and a quantity of drugs, &c
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor
that he advertised in the Times newspaper for an
assistant, which was replied to by the prisoner, whom
he took into his employ as an "improver," condi-
tionally that he was to be with him six months, and at
the expiration of that term he was to receive 201.
per year for his services. The prisoner had been in
his situation seven weeks. Witness had occasion to
go to the north of England on business, where he was
detained for three days. His confidence in the pri-
soner having been shaken in consequence of his
having told him a wilful lie, prior to his leaving
London, he marked some lozenge bottles with
ink, in order to ascertain on his return the
quantity which were missing, and from ten
of the bottles he missed 41bs. of lozenges.
He had given the prisoner notice to quit. On Tues-
day night last the prisoner, in company of another
man, both being intoxicated, came to his (witness's)
house for the purpose of annoying him, when he
(prisoner) said that he imputed to him a charge of
robbery, and he would make him prove it. Witness
put him out of his shop. He gave information to the
police, and the prisoner was apprehended in bed, at
the house of Dr. Browne, of Hampstead.
John Armstrong, 164 S, proved having taken the
prisoner into custody at Dr. Browne's house. lie
was in bed at the time. He told the prisoner that he
wanted him on a charge of stealing lozenges, drugs,
and chemicals, from Mr. Broxholme. He denied the
charge. The prisoner told witness where he kept his
box, and handed him the key of it. The servant
handed a bundle to witness, which contained an
empty stopper bottle with Mr. Brozholtne's name
upon it, a tooth-brush, a preparation of ether, a piece
of German soap wrapped up in paper, a piece of
Windsor soap, some matches in paper, four ounces of
castor oil, and other trifling articles. He took the
prisoner to the station-house, where he was locked up.
Wituess produced the ,Ivhole of the articles.

Mr. Broxholme identified them, and added that he
could positively identify the paper in which the soap
was wrapped. It was of a peculiar manufacture, and
was made exclusively for him.
Mr. Redd—lndeed ! Is there any peculiar mark
upon it by which you can so' positively identify it ?
Witness—The manufacturer makes it only for me,
according to sly order.
Mr. Coarse—They may have made it for others for
aught you know. 'Witness (pedantically)—True.
Mr. Mallet, the clerk—None of the lozenges were
found ? The witness answered in the negative.
Mr. Read closely questioned the witness, who hesi-
tated, contradicted himself, and answered in a most
peculiar manner.

- Mr. Read here said that the prisoner was highly
respectable, and incapable of robbery. He had Dr.
Browne, &c., to identify some of the articles which
the prosecutor had sworn to, and urged that be should
be dismissed, and not degraded by being sent for trial.
He questioned Mr. Broxholme Ps to whether it was
usual for the prisoner to make entries of the sale of
lozenges in his books, or whether his wife was allowed
to sell them during his absence in the country.
Witness replied that his wife never served, and that
there were no entries of their sale by the prisoner
during his absence.

The prisoner was remanded from Monday until
yesterday, for the production of the book, when he
was admitted to bail for his appearance.
Mr. Read assured the bench that he could satisfac-
torily prove how the prisoner became possessed of the
articles.

At this examination the prosecutor came to the
court accompanied by Mr. Humphries, the solicitor,
to conduct the prosecution ; and, after further evi-
dence was gone into and the book examined,
Mr. Read called upon Mr. Combe to discharge the
prisoner or hear his evidence, to prove how the pri-
soner came honestly by the property.
Mr. COMBE said he must send the case before a
jury. By calling on him to discharge the prisoner he
was asking him to discredit everything the prosecutor
had stated.

Mr. Humphries inquired the value of the whole
of the property ? Prosecutor—A sovereign. He
then said—Half-a-sovereign ; then—A pound more
or less.

Mr. Read said that the prosecutor had the hardi-
hood to swear to everything produced—even to a
piece of paper, a small bottle, and an old tooth-brush.
Dr. Brown and his son were present to give evi-
dence on the prisoner's behalf, and he bonjured the
bench not to brand his character by sending him to
trial.

Mr. CoMBE—You want to make me judge and
jury in the case. It is contrary to all practice to do
what you ask me.
Mr. Humphries—lf you heard the evidence it would
only entitle you, if it created a favourable impression,
to admit him to bail.

Mr. COMBE—I have no hesitation in saying at
once that I will take bail for his appearance at the
sessions.

The prisoner's defence was then reserved, and he
was fully committed for trial ; he was, however, or-
dered to find hail, himself in 1001. and two house-
keepers in 50/. each, for his appearance at the
sessions.

The required bail was produced, and the prisoner
left the court with Dr. Browne and his friends.
MARLBOROUGH-SI-BEI:T.

Catherine Keirnes, otherwise Catherine Lake, was
brought before Mr. Bingham, charged at the instance
of the authoritirs of St. James's parish with wilful
and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Dore, the relieving overseer, stated that about
a year ago the prisoner made oath before two justices
of the peace, then sitting at the board room of St.
Martin's workhouse, thst she was the aunt of three
children at that time chargeable to St. Martin's
parish. The effect of this oath was to cause them to
be removed to their alleged birth settlement in St.
James's. The children had been maintained in the

workhouse ever since; but as it had recently come to
the knowledge of the board of guardians that the
prisoner was the mother and not the aunt of the chil-
dren, it had been determined upon to take proceed-
ings against her.
In defence, the prisoner admitted she was the
mother of the children, but she was too poor to sup-
port them, and that was her excuse for having taken
a false oath.

Mr. Dore said he should be prepared with legal
proof of perjury in a few days, and the prisoner was
accordingly remanded until Friday next.
THAMES.

Charles Jones, a labourer, was finally examined,
charged with stealing 2 cwt. of white lead and 13
brass screws, the property of his employer, Mr. Bar-
ber, wharfinger, of Tower-stairs ; and Jacob Vanden-
burg, with receiving the same knowing them to have
been stolen.

Mr. Hobler was for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantine, barrister, with Mr. Pelham, for the
defence.

The charge against Vandenburg excited consider-
able surprise, he being known, as was observed by
the magistrate, to have frequently given information

which led to the detection of several" robberies. The
facts are briefly these :—The white lead and screws
were safe on Friday the 21st ult.; and were missed on
the following day. They were subsequently traced
to Vandenburg's shop, who said they were left there
by the prisoner, with whom he affected to treat for
the purohas., his real object being to keep possession
of the property, until he could give information to
Sergeant Kelly, 2 H, with whom he acted in con-
junction respecting such matters on previous occa-
sions. When Vandenburg's house was searched,
some gas fittings and other articles were found, which
a Mr. Loyd, of Gray's Inn road recognised as similar
to some he had lost upwards of a year ago.
Mr. Hobler said he could not proceed with that
charge, as the person supposed to have stolen the
property had absconded.
Jones admitted the charge, and accwed Vanden-
burg of being a habitual purchaser of stolen goods,
who, when it suited his purpose turned round on and
victimised his instrument.

The additi anal evidence against Vandenburg was
that of Benjamin Aslin, 90, Rosemary-lane, 'who
deposed that on the morning of the 223 ult. Vanden-
burg asked him what he paid for white lead per cwt.,
saying he was going to send a few pounds to his
brother. Witness said, " If you send at all, you had
better send a quarter cwt. in a cask."
Mr. Ballantine, before calling witnesses for the
defence, wished it to be understood that Vanden burg
carried on business in a large way as a marine-store.
dealer, a lawful calling, which it was almost impos-
sible to carry on without occasionally getting stolen
property. It was well known that in courts of law
nine-tenths of the cases of theft were proved by
pawnbrokers who had received the property. Why
should not marine-store-dealers, who were similarly
exposed, be treated in a similar manner? Vandenburg
had often before taken in stolen property, and then
gave information which led to the furtherance of
justice, as it would be shown he had endeavoured to
do in this case also.
Mr. Hobler—Since the case was last here it has
been ascertained that no entry of the white lead was
to be found in Vandenburg's books.
Mr. TARDLEY—Of course not ; as Vandenburg
had not made the purchase, the time for such an entry
was not ripe.
For the defence Alexander Verver said he was with
Vandenburg on the 22d ult., when Jones was in the
shop with the whitelead and screws. After he left,
Vandenburg sent witness to Leman-street station-
house for Sergeant Kelly, but, as he was proceeding
there he met another sergeant, who told him Kelly
was not tolbe found at the station-house just then.
Sergeant Wakefield, 5 H, met a person whom he
believed to be the last witness, but could not swear to
him, proceeding towards Leman-street on Saturday
fortnight, about three o'clock. That person asked
whether Sergeant Kelly was at the station-house, to
which he replied, he did not know, but it could be
ascertained there. He then asked what would be the
most likely time to see him, and witness replied, in
the evening.
Mr. YARDLEY, in committing the prisoners for trial,
observed that the strongest point against Vandenburg
was, the conversation he had had with the witness
Aslin, respecting the price and disposal of white lead
on the day of the robbery.
The depositions were then read at length, but
Vandenburg was admitted to bail, himself in 801, and
two sureties in 401. each.
WESTMINSTER.
Two stable-helpers, named Mason and Rosatrider,
were charged with cruelty to a horse.
Barkley, 131 B, proved that on the preceding even-
ing he saw the defendants leading a horse through
Tothill-street into the Broad Sanctuary, Westmin-
ster. He had one of his fore legs tied up, so that he
hopped upon the other three, upon which he remained
standing for twenty minutes, until he was placed by
the side of another in a pimlico omnibus. The
novelty of the horse having one foot so strapped up
that he could not place it on the ground, and working
his Way along upon the other three, attracted a vast
number of persons, who followed it into the Broad-
way. When the horse was put to, his foot was let
down, and he appeared to draw with the other horse
in the omnibus extremely well. He appeared in
excellent condition, and when in the omnibus quite
up to his work. The explanation of this odd tear
was, that the horse, although valuable and serviceable,
is extremely vicious, and in consequence of its kicking
propensities, it was found necessary, in taking it some
distance from the stable to the omnibus, owing to
the carriage-way being under repair at the place
where they ordina change horses, to deprive it of
the use of one of its legs to prevent its doing any mis-
chief to the others until put to, when no fault could
possibly be found with it, as it then became extremely
quiet.
Mr. BRODERIP considered that as the evidence
clearly proved that there' Was nOthing cruel in the
winner in which the horse's foot was tied up, the I

charge could not be sustained • but said that this sort
of thing could not be permitted in the streets, and if
it were repeated he should find some method of deal-
ing with the offenders.

-Defendants were discharged.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
NEWCASTLE, OCT. 9.—Since Saturday we have had
heavy rains, and although we had a fair show of
country wheat at market this morning, the condition was
not improved, and consequently sold only slowly; while
south country new wheat, of which a few samples were
offered, sold at Saturday's rates. Old wheat wanted for
mixing was in demand, and brought full prices. Barley
rather more inquired for. In other articles no change.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 9.—The sup.
ply of !mists this morning again very large, exceeding
the number of last week by 100, part unsold, quality
middling, trade sluggish at previous rates. The number
of sheep and lambs also large, which met with dull sale
at a reduction of 2s per head. A quantity remain on
hand. Arrivals:—Beasts, 300; sheep and lambs, 7,000.
Beef, 5s to 6s; mutton, 4d to sd.

LEEDS, OCT. 9.—There is a large show of wheat, and
the trade is firm, and fine dry parcels generally held for
an advance, but this checks business and prices cannot
be quoted over the full rates of Friday. Barley steady.
Oats and spellings as Wore. Beans as dear. No al-
teration in other articles. Arrivals:—Wheat, 10.721;
barley, 804; oats, 789; beans, 600; flour, 666; lin-
seed, 257.

Dununr, OCT. 9.—Our market to-day was well sup-
Vied. Wheat and oats met a brisk demand, and the
test qualities of both were 3d to 6d dearer. Malting
barley supported the currency of Friday, but grinding
qualities were scarcely so easy of sale. Rather higher
rates were demanded for Ibdian corn, but there was
scarcely any business transacted. White wheat, new,
