occasion. When it was intimated to the Duke that the
allied Sovereigns wished to kill Napoleon, indignant at
the suggestion, he advised Blucher " to have nothing to
do with so foul a transaction ;" observing, that Blucher
and himself had acted too distinguished parts to become
executors. So, I would say, let it not be imagined for
a moment that your Excellency, distinguished as you are
for your services in this colony, will consent, under a
mistaken sense of duty, to be made the instrument of
enslaving a people you are bound to protect.
His Excellency—Tho case, Sir, is not analogous.
The Duke of Wellington was a free agent, and what he
said was law. lam not a free agent, and must carry out
the instructions of the supreme Government.

The deputation then withdrew.
(From the South African Commercial Advertiser of
Jane 27.)
Besides the pledge not to employ convicts, and to drop
connexion with those who do so, banks, insurance offices
capitalists and others, the most respected, and influential
members of this community, are pursuing a course that
will in the end render the enforcement and demand of
the measure altogether impracticable. The felons will
be thrown for support on the Governor at once, and so
long as they remain in Use colony. Will he venture to
employ them on public works at the expense of the
colony? The payers of rates will demur to that.
It is said that, for greater security, the people in the
country districts have resolved to employ no European
labour whatsoever until the power of smuggling thieves
and murderers amongst them as free emigrants shall be
taken out of the hands of their rulers by Act of Parlia-
ment. This is to be lamented, but it is natural, and what
might have been foreseen.
(From tho South African Commercial Advertiser of
July 7.)
From all parts of the colony accounts continue to pour
in respecting the exasperation of the people. This its( if
is a most enormous evil, for which the local Government
as well as Lord Grey are deeply responsible.
Yesterday the bakers of Cape Town unanimously re-
fused to tender for supplies of biscuit to the commissariat,
lest it should be used for the support of the convicts on
their arrival. Every man is doing his duty, as Eng-
land, no doubt, expected. The people are of one mind
and one soul.

(From the Cape Town Mail of July 7.)
The Governor has, we understood on good authority,
now decided upon having the convicts expected by the
Neptune confined on Robben Island, and not distributed,
even on application, until her Majesty's pleasure is
known; and that a proclamation to that effect is to be
issued forthwith. To accommodate them, the lepers and
lunatics are to be removed immediately to Amsterdam
Battery and Paarden Island (Salt River). If this be so,
it may go some way to satisfy the minds of-the colonists,
who can now hope, by continuing a determined and
unanimous resistance, to see the hateful Order in Council
revoked, as soon as the home Government shall receive
the despatches of the Governor, and hear of the pro-
ceedings of the people.
The following important Government notice was issued
on the 9th of July:—
" Colonial-office, Cape of Good Hope,
July, 9, 1849.
"It having come to the knowledge of the Governor
that a combination has been formed among certain per-
-501•8 residing in Caps Town, for the purpose of pre-
venting contractors supplying the Government with food
and other necessaries for the convicts who aro shortly
expected to arrive in the colony, and that the same com-
bination has been employed to prevent gentlemen from
accepting the vacant seats in the Legislative Council,
whereby the necessary business and legislation of the
colony will be seriously impeded, the action of the colo-
nial Government obstructed, and many private persons
injured in their lawful trades and occupations; and it
having been further represented that some of the banks
in Cape Town have like wife combined for the purpose of
refusing the usual accommodation and assistance to such
contractors, and to any gentlemen who may accept seats
in the Legislative Council, with a view to embarrass,
distress, and injure such persons; his Excellency feels,
though with great regret and reluctance, that the time
has arrived when it becomes incumbent upon him to step
forward and assist those persons who are likely to suffer
from sucn combinations. _ _ _

" His Excellency, therefore, desires it to be notified
that persons so circumstanced will receive pecuniary
advances from the Colonial Treasury upon real or sucl
other securities as may be approved by a board of officers,
to be appointed for that purpose; these advances to bear
interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum.
" And inasmuch as it will be necessary, in order to
carry out this measure, that the Government should
issue promissory notes payable on demand, and as Go-
vernment collectors and accountants are prohibited from
receiving, on account of the Government, any bank
notes or other paper money issued by the local banks,
except upon their own responsibility, now Government
officers of every description are hereby permitted and
required to receive as cash, in payment of all dues, rents,
&c., upon the responsibility of the Government, such
Government promissory notes as may be issued on this
occasion.

" His Excellency desires it to be distinctly understood
that this is only a temporary measure, caused by the
exigency of the present moment, and that so soon as the
combinations have ceased, and the reasons for the pre-
sent measures have terminated, no further advances will
be made. Care will, however, be taken, that the repay-
ment of these advances by the persons who may have
received them will not be suddenly required. but proper
arrangements will be made for their gradual liquidation.
" By command of his Excellency the Governor,
(Signed) " JOHN MONTAGU.
" Secretary to the Government."

The London Gazette of last night contains in-
structions from Lord Ashley and Mr. E. Chadwick, as
representatives of the Board of Health, authorising Mr.
Austin, the secretary of the said board, to prosecute the
guardians of the pour of the city of London Union, the
guardians of the Greenwich Union, the churchwardens
of St. Margaret's, Westminster; the churchwardens of
St. Saviour's, Southwark; and the managers of the
burial-ground of Tottenham-court Chapel, Middlesex,
for wilful violation and neglect of orders issued by
the Board of Health for the prevention of diseases and
nuisances.

EXTENSION IN ST. PANCRAS.—A lady has
offered, through the Hon. Captain Maude, 1001., to meet
nine other similar gifts, towards a church dedicated to
the Holy Trinity, in the parish of St. Pancras. It is
proposed to erect the church in the newly-formed eccle-
siastical district of which the Rev. David Saing has been
appointed the incumbent. The names of two other per-
sons willing to contribute to the same extent have been
handed in.

PlRATES.—Extract of a letter from Lloyd's Agent
at Salonica, 30th August:—" I regret having to report
that the Nohd Klefti, Captain Dalenz3, has been commit-
ting depredations, with a band of pirates, at the Island
of Thassos, where they plundered on the 22d inst., an
Austrian merchant vessel; from thence they went to
Mount Athos, where they landed and committed various
acts of plunder. They then proceeded to the Gulf of
Cortesss, landed at Ichiasse (marked in the charts
Imbole), plundered the custon-house, and killed the
three custom-house officers in charge. I have forwarded
a report of these proceedings to his Excellency her
Ma jesty's Ambassador at Constantinople, who will pro-
bably dispatch the Tartarus, Commander Sir Godfrey
Webster, in quest of these freeboters."
DUNIELD BRANCH OF THE SCOTTISH MIDLAND
RAILWAY.—We understand the directors of this com-
pany have again had under their consideration the pro-
priety of proceeding with the Dunkeld branch of their
line, and Mr. Locke has personally gone over it within
the last few days for that purpose. The result is, we
hear, a determination to contract for seven miles of the
proposed branch, bringing the lino to Birnam Hill,
within three miles of Dunkeld. Thin will be important
news for the Highlands as well as to Dunkeld itself,
from the stimulus which it is likely to give to the de-
mand for the minerals and wood of the district, as well
as facilities to tourists and travellers.—Perth Courier.
LEICESTER TRADll.—There having been buyers in
the town from various districts has caused business to be
active amongst the manufacturers. It is also expected
that a fair autumnal trade will be doing for some time
to come. Prices of material are firmly maintained.
The wrought hose branch have obtained another advance
of 3d per dozen, a step to which we believe there was
no opposition. This affords a gratifying proof of the
improved state of trade in Leicester since 1848, and a
general impression prevails that this state will continuo
at present. It is very desirable on every around that
the workman should rightly appreciate and seize upon
the present opportunities of improving their circum-
stances, which higher wages, combined with cheap pro-
visions and full employment afford. They should bear
in mind that on their attention to this will materially de-
pend their ability to mainta'n their advanced wages.
Each individual should now aim so far at personal inde-
pendence as to save something from his earnings to-
wards supplying his wants when his labour may not be
so much in demand, instead of being compelled, when
trade somewhat declines, to propose working at reduced
wages. It is too obvious that amongst workmen this is
often entirely overlooked, and that instead of perform.
ing more labour, and producing more goods at a time of
brisk demand, they even do less than in a bad state of
trade, and when the demand is falling off,—Nottingham
Journal.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.
BRITANNIA•BRIDGE.

As considerable public misapprehension appears to
exist as to the causes and consequences of the accident
at the Britannia-bridge, which has delayed the opera-
tion of raising the tube, and of which no authentic
details have hitherto been published, the following
extracts from the evidence given by Mr. Clark at the
inquest on the body of Owen Parry, who was killed
by the accident, will be read with interest :
Menai-bridge, Aug. 18.—Mr. W. Jones, coroner.
Edwin Clark, being sworn and examined, deposed as
follows :—I am resident engineer of the works at the
Britannia-bridge, and am acting under Mr. Robert
Stephenson. I superintend the whole of the iron
work. I was upon the works yesterday (the 17th of
August). We were raising the tube. The deceased
was not engaged in the operation of raising the tube.
We were raiding the Anglesea end of the tube by
means of an hydraulic press. It was twenty inches
in diameter inside ; the thickness was about ten
inches. It was about ten feet long. We were forcing
water below the piston of the press with a steam-
engine, which, raising the piston, drew up the tube
after it. The weight was about 2,000 tons. The
pressure:on the circular inch in the press is about 2 7-10
tons. We had ascended 2 feet 4 inches, when the
bottom of the press suddenly separated from the body
of the press and fell, together with the water con-
tained in the press, on the tube beneath. The cross-
head of the press, on which I was standing, descended
about 2 feet 4 inches, and I was thrown on to the
boiler of the engine-room. I saw the deceased, with
other men, come along the top of the tube, and ascend
a rope-ladder about 100 feet immediately beneath me,
and immediately afterwards I saw the body of the
deceased lying upon the tube just under the press.
The portion of the press that fell was, I should say,
about 1f tons weight. It must have struck the rope-
ladder on which the deceased was ascending, and then
fell upon the tube, breaking some of the castings and
damaging the tube. The cylinder had been already
tested, having raised the tube 24 feet. It had not
been previously tested, on account of the difficulty of

It
with
tons
upon the inch; on the present occasion there was only
2 7-10 tens. We were watching the cylinder con-
tinually, and it showed no symptoms of giving way.
The cylinder alone was the cause of the accident; no
other part of the machinery gave way. The tube, by
the compression of tha timber beneath it, descended
about 4f inches. We were wedging the tube up be-
neath, by driving in planks as it rose, and, on the re-
moval of the planks, underbuilding with brickwork, to
avoid any chance of accident. The superficial area
of the fracture is about 1,000 square inches, the tension
per square inch on this area being at the time about a
ton. Four tons per square inch would have been
deemed secure. There was at the commencement of
the operations a great deal of leakage from this press,
but it took place_ at the top, and was remedied by
the addition of a new collar below the original collar.
There was no leakage near the fracture. The rope
ladder bears marks of being struck by the descending
mass of iron. The deceased had ascended about forty
feet."

We may further observe, no damage of any con-
sequence was done to the tube by its fall. The ex-
traordinary test to which it must hare been subjected
is only another guarantee of the security of the
structure, as it has since been determined that it
descended seven inches. A new press has been cast,
similar to the broken press, with some modification of
the bottom, to counteract the effect of contraction in
such large masses of metal, which appears to have
been the cause of failure. The recurrence of such an
event is highly improbable, but precautions have been
adopted by Mr. Stephenson to guard against any
damage either to the tube or the parties employed in
raising it, and even avoid any further delay if such
should be the case; and no difficulty whatever can he
apprehended in completing the operation. The new
cylinder is expected in about a fortnight; and within
12 days after it is fixed the tube will, in all proba-
bility, be at its proper level. The only important
consequence of the accident, as regards the bridge, has
been the serious delay in replacing the press.

opened for traffic of all descriptions, and a reasonable
period allowed for the fair development of its re-
sources. A change in the accounts will then take
place, and distinct capital and revenue accounts will
be kept in the usual manner, dividing correctly the
two classes of expenditure. The directors have
within the last few weeks concluded and affixed the
company's seal to an agreement with the London and
North-Western Company, for the use in per-
petuity of the London and North-Western
line between Walsall and Birmingham, and
of ample station accommodation in the latter
place at a graduated rental. The directors announce
that an offer has been made (not by a public com-
pany), to take the line upon a lease for 21 years, at a
rental equal to 4 per cent. upon the expended capital,
except that for the year 18i0.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, stated, that their prospects were brightening,
and he believed that their railway was established
upon a sure foundation. He admitted that their Bill
was obtained during the railway scramble in 1845,
and that they were injured by the extravagant pro-
fusion of the Legislature of 1846. In reference to
the offers of a lease of the line, then in a state of ne-
gotiation, it did not at present become him to speak.
He might, however, say,that the offer made was a mi-
nimum offer, and the only alternative was improved
conditions. Looking at the present state of their fi-
nancial affairs he at once admitted that 81. 10s. would
not be sufficient to complete the line. They
were, however, in good credit, and he recommended
unanimity.
Mr. P. WILLIAMS, one of the directors, said there
was only a deficiency of 30,0001, and if they made
another call of 103. per share they would not owe a
farthing.
Mr. BAINBRIGGE, of Derby, thought the share-
holders would generally prefer paying a 10s. call
than owe a single farthing.
Mr. CHANLER, was of opinion that the line could be
completed without further call.

Mr. J. 'WILLIAMS complained of the price paid for
rails. They had given 4/. per ton more than the mar-
ket price. lie intimated that a committee of investi-
gation might be necessary.
Mr. CHAWNER said he had the means in hand of
answering Mr. Williams's opinion, that large amourts
of traffic must necessarily pass along the line and
would, in all probability, pay 6 or 7 per cent.
Mr. WRIGHTSON asked the Chairman if it might be
understood that the directors would not require any
further call from the shareholders ? He recommended
the directors to carry on the undertaking with
economy and energy, and he had no doubt the result
would be successful.

The CHAIRMAN replied, that no further call would
be required for the completion of the line.
The result was that the meeting disapproved alto-
gether of the leasing at present of the line to any
contractors until the capacity of the line was fully
developed.
The meeting broke up_ after a vote of thanks to tin
chairman.

EASTERN COUNTIES.
DISPUTE BETWEEN THE ENGINE-DRIVEES AND
THE COMPANT.—During the last two or three weeks
considerable interest has been manifested by the
employea in the locomotive department of the Eastern
Counties Railway, in consequence of the engine-
drivers, at least a large portion of them, employed on
the line, intimating their intention of leaving the
company's service, unless an injustice which they
consider is done them is forthwith remedied. Their
principal complaint is that several of the old expe-
rienced hands have been discharged, and young fire-
men created drivers in their place. This step, it is
alleged,
is simply introduced for the purpose of ob-
taining cheaper labour. The old hands, although not
in age—the discharged servants averaging in age
from thirty-five to forty—have, according to the
scale of wages when they entered their employ,
7s. 6d- per day, while the newly-created
drivers from the firemen only get salaries
ranging from 4s. 6d., os., to ss. 61. It is this new
system that has given rise to so much alarm among
the old hands of the company, it being suspected that
in due course of time they will be discharged ; not
that their conduct is complained of, but because their
pay is 7s. 6d. a-day, a scale of wages which can be
considerably reduced by the more numerous employ-
ment of firemen as drivers. The old hands, however,
maintain that even with the new drivers the company
does not allow them salaries which they had fixed in
their scale of wages. With a view of inducing the
board of directors to reconsider the unfair position
this new scale of remuneration places the old engine-
drivers in, they yesterday placed in the hands of Mr.
Hunter, the locomotive superintendent, a memorial
for presentation to the board.

GREAT NORTII OF SCOTLAND.—The Duke of
Richmond and other landed proprietors interested in
the construction of this line, from Aberdeen through
Elgin, Forres, and Nairn to Inverness, held a meeting
a few days since at Gordon Castle, with the view of
carrying the project into execution.
OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERIIAAWTON.—
Meetings of the inhabitants of places along this line
have been held, at which its present position was taken
into consideration, and memorials in accordance with
the suggestions of Lord Redesdale to the Railway
Commissioners agreed to.

LLANELLY. —The half-yearly meeting of this
company was held yesterday at the office, Old
Jewry, but, in consequence of the peculiar position
of the company's affairs, reporters were not admitted.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
LORD MAYOR'S COURT. Sept. 14.

CRABTREE V. SIR PETER LAURIE AND OTHERS, GAR
NISHEES, THE " WEST INDIA BANK" DEFENDANTS.

The defendants in this case were indebted to the
plaintiff, and the latter issued an attachment against
certain moneys which stood to the defendants' credit
in the Union Bank, of which Sir Peter Laurie and
others were the trustrees.

Mr. Locke appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Randall
for the defendant, and Mr. Ryland for the garnishees.
The RECORDER asked whether the " West India
Bank" were a chartered or incorporated company,
because if it were proof must be given of the fact ?
Mr. RANDALL said, he was not prepared with the
proof suggested by his Lordship, but there was no
doubt of the bona-fides of the company, and the records
of the court would show that it had been sued simply
as the " West India Bank."

The RECORDER said that might be, but it was ne-
cessary, from the general laxity of evidence given in
that court, that proof should be given that it was an
incorporated company, or that the names of the mem-
bers should be set forth in the declaration.

Mr. LOCKE submitted, that if the garnishees ad-
mitted that this money belonged to the "West India
Bank," it was sufficient proof that it had a bona fide
existence.

The RECORDER said, as far as the present proceed-
ing was concerned such admission would be sufficient;
but if it subsequently appeared that the " West India
Bank" had a right to recover; back the money, they
might find themselves in a very uncertain position in
respect of their right, for where was the proof before
the Court that there was, or ever had been, such a
company ?
Mr. LOCKE said, that a verdict in favour of the
plaintiff would not prejudice any future claims of the
bank ; and he submitted that it was not requisite that
such bank should be formally proved to have been
constituted pursuant to Act of Parliament.
The RECORDER was of opinion .that the fact should
appear on the records of the
_court to show that the
bank was properly sued.

Mr. RANDALL would remind his Lordship that the
institution was well known to the public by the title
of the " West India Bank."

The RECORDER had never known a banking firm
sued simply as a banking company, without proof of
the legal constitution of the company being given.
He never heard of Hoare and Co., or Childs and Co.,
being sued simply as described by the title—it was
usually shown who the company were, or that the
company was instituted according to law.
Mr. RYLAND said that the Union Bank, for whom
he appeared, had not instructed him to make any ad-
mission, nor could he do so, unless it were proved
that the " West India Bank" was properly sued.
The RECORDER said that he would not encourage
that great laxity of evidence which appeared in the
case before the Court. He could not allow the case
to go to the jury without such proof. They might
as well sue the " Pomp at Aldgate," as the " West
India Bank," one had as much reason as the other.

Mr. RANDALL could assure his Lordship that the
bank was incorporated by royal charter, but the
charter itself was now in the West Indies, and utterly
inaccessible to the parties. The bank had no place
of business in London which certainly placed him
in a position of some difficulty, but it was clear that
the plaintiff would not have sued the West India
Bank, unless the debt had been credited to the West
India Bank.

After some delay, Mr. RYLAND said that as the
parties were not prepared with the necessary proof,
he was ready to admit that in the books of the Union
Bank there was a sum of 3001. placed to the credit of
the " West India Bank."

The RECORDER said that, under these circum-
stances, the jury would find a verdict for the plaintiff;
but, had the objection been persevered in, a different
result must have followed. His Lordship then ex-
plained to the jury the nature of the proceedings, and
said that as they had admitted that such hank was
properly sued, they would find for the plaintiff for
the sum which the garnishees admitted to be in their
possession.

The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff-8001.
NUBROYD AND ANOTHER v. BARING AND ANOTHER,
GARNISHEES, BATHURST, DEFENDANT.
This was also an attachment issued by the plaintiffs
against certain moneys held by Baring and Co.,
merchants in the city of London, belonging to the
defendants.

Mr. Locke and Mr. Randall appeared for the
parties.
It appeared that the plaintiffs were saddlers in the
City, and that Mr. E. Bathurst, the defendant, held
a Government situation. He formerly lived in the
City, but had removed from the jurisdiction of the
Court ; and, as it was supposed that Messrs. Baring
and Co. were in possession of 3001. belonging to the
defendant, the present attachment was issued to re-
cover a debt of 1571. 3s. 4d.

John George Theobold, a clerk in the service of
the garnishees, proved that all the money standing
to the defendant's credit at Messrs. Barings was

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mrs. Bennett, alias Hemsley, alias Griffiths, was
brought up for final examination, on the charge of
obtaining GO/. worth of goods from Messrs. Wilkinson
and Co., Ludgate-hill, under false pretences ; and two
more cases having been established against her, the
depositions were maid out and read, and she was con-
veyed to Newgate, she having, by advice of her
solicitor, reserved her defence.
L .411,11 3 E TH.
William Myers, a cabman, and Michael Murphy,
a suspected character, who have been in custody Since
Monday week, on a charge of robbing Mr. Satcher,
a master tailor, of fifty sovereigns, were placed at the
bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton for final exami-
nation.

The witnesses who had been previously examined
in the case were subjected to a lengthened cross-ex-
amination by Mr. Binns, who attended on behalf of
Myers, the cabman, but nothing favourable to the
prisoners was elicited.

Mr. Evans, the landlord of the Watermen's Arms
public-house, Bermondsey, deposed that on the even-
ing of Sunday week the prosecutor and the prisoner
Murphy entered his house, and the former called for
a pint of beer, which the latter drank. The prose-
cutor, while in front of his bar, threw a small leather
bag on the counter, and said it contained fifty sove-
reigns, his property. He (witness) recommended him
to leave the money in his care, and offered to give him
a receipt for it, but the prosecutor said he should take
care of it, and put the bag in his pocket. Suspecting
that Murphy, who was with the prosecutor, was a bad
character, and intended to rob him, he requested the
witness Cronin, who was a customer of his, and who
was in his bar at the time, to follow the parties, and
see that the prosecutor was not robbed.
Police constable Scott, 245 M, was next called,
and said that on the evening of Monday week he saw
the prosecutor on a brewer's dray, near Bermondsey-
square, and the witness Cronin told him that he ha d
some property about him, and that he was followed
in a suspicious manner by the prisoner Murphy, who
was close by. The prosecutor at the time got off
the waggon, and attempted to go into the public-
house, but being tipsy at the time, the landlord pre-
vented him.

Mr. NORTON—You were told by the witness,
Cronin, thot the prosecutor had property about him,
that he was followed by a suspicious character, who
was pointed out to you, and you yourself saw that
he was very much intoxicated. Now, I wish to
know, after all this, how it was that you did not look
after and prevent the man from being robbed ?
Scott—The fact was, sir, he ran across Bermondsey-
square and I lost sight of him, while the two men,
Cronin and Murphy, were quarrelling together. The
quarrelling continued for a quarter of an hour,
and I concluded that Murphy would lose sight of
the man.

Cronin—The quarrelling, as you call it, did not
last many seconds, and it consisted in Murphy say-
ing he should mark me and serve me out another
time for following and pointing him out as a thief.
Mr. NORTON—Did you tell Scott, the policeman,
that the prosecutor had 501. about him ? Cronin—
Of course I did, and told him I 84W it ; and also told
him that unless he looked after the man, and that the
gentleman was robbed, he alone would be to blame
for it. He asked me how I knew the gentleman had
property about him, and I said because I had seen it.
Scott—When I asked the prosecutor myself whether
he had any properly about him or not, he said he had
only a watch, and nothing else.
Mr. NORTON—My own impression is, that the
prosecutor was in such a state of drunkenness at the
time that you would have been perfectly justified in
detaining him for safety, particularly after you had
be?n told that he had 501. in money about him.
Your conduct at least was exceedingly careless and
indiscreet.

The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
John Percy Hening, Henry Roberts, and Thomas
Croton, who have been 80 frequently examined on

charges of victimising the public, by collecting sub-
scriptions for a society jvhich had no existence, but
which they called the " Animals' Friend Society,"
and putting the money' so collected into their own
pockets, were placed at the bar for final examination.
One additional case yeas taken against the prisoners,
where they received (is. from a gentleman named
Hubbard, and the pris niers were fully committed for

Mr. Norton receiv.:d the following donations for
the poor-box, viz., the: remaining half of a 51. note
from " D. T. ;" tha remaining half of a Reading bank
note for 51., No. 111,041 ; one sovereign from
"M.A.D. ;" the remaining half of a .5/. note from
"M. 13 of Exeter ; the remaining half of a note,
No. 96,237 ; and half a 51. note from " A. R."

THAMES.
Mr. William Champian, master of the ship Roman
Emperor, surrendered to his recognizances to answer
a charge, under the 10th section of the Merchant
Seamen's Act. for harbouring and secreting four men
who had deserted from the Navarino, at Port Ade-
laide, in December last.

The facts of the else were partly heard on
Wednesday last, on which occasion Mr. Frede-
rick Pelham, for the defence, took an objection
under the 2d section of the Act, which requiroi that
no seamen shall be taken to sea without a written
agreement ; and argued, as there w:is no proof of their
having signed articles with the Naverino they could
not be considered deserters.

Mr. YARDLEY said, that as the case was a very
important one he wou'ul take time to consider the ob-
jection. This day, in pronouncing his decision, ha
said, though I had little doubt on the former occasion
I have still less now. It has been distinctly proved
that these men were engaged illegally, and there was
ample evidence to show that they were deserters.
The only question is, whether there is sufficient proof
of guilty knowledge on the part of the defendant, and
that there wm, any person who heard the evidence
could not have the slightest doubt. As regards the
penalty, I hold it to be my duty to inflict the heaviest
in my power.
Mr. Pelham—Perhaps I may be permitted to sug-
gest the imposition of a fine in one case, and the sus-
pension of tha other summonses for a month, to show
that my client has not offended itn the same manner
before.

Mr. YARDLEY—NO ; I will assume that this is
his first offence; and even then I should not feel in-
clined to remit the penalty. Such an offence once
committed requires ample punishment. The practice
must be put a stop to. You may if you ple Ise apply
to the proper quarter, but I will not back the appli-
cation.

Mr. Pelham—My client is left in the lurch by the
owners, whom he intended to benefit.
Mr. YARDLET-1 cannot help that. He has no
claim on the owners, and must take the consequences.
The defendant was then fined 101. and costs in
each of the four cases. The amount was immediately
paid.

W 0 R SHIP- S TREE T.
Charlotte and James Jackson, the female a smart
and very good-looking young woman, and the male
a well-dressed ycung man of very respectable appear-
ance, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold for
re-examination.
They had been remanded for robbing the house of
Mr. Tullet, a tradesman in Whitechapel, whose ser-
vice the female prisoner had entered on Tuesday
se'nnight. On the following Sunday she was left in
charge of the house, while the family were at church,
when the house was plundered of a very large
amount of property, consisting of plate, jewellery,
apparel, &c. The prisoners wero apprehended some
days afterwards, when there was found in their pos-
session a box containing much of the stolen property,
and upon the person of the female a shawl and other
articles of dress belonging to her late mistress. Upon
the man also was found a very valuable gold watch
and appendages, besides other articles, subsequently
ascertained to be the produce of other similar rob-
beries.
Mrs. Martha Standenwick, a widow lady, residing
at Tollington-park Villa, Hornsey-road, now identi•
tied the gold watch. The female prisoner entered
her service on the 7th of August, and absconded on
the 11th, on which morning, having rung in vain for
the attendance of her servant, she arose and discovered
that the latter was gone, and she missed her watch
and its appendages, together with the plate, some
jewellery, a shawl, linen apparel, and other property.
She identified amongst the articles now produced by
the police a coral necklace, a coat, and parts of several
dresses.

Sergeant Kelly said the male prisoner, when appre-
hended, had the coat on his back, and the gold watch
in his pocket.

Mr. ARNOLD asked the prosecutrix if she had ever
seen the male prisoner at her house ?
The lady replied, that on the Dth, two days before
the robbery, she was returning home about ten at
night, when she met in the road leading to her house
a man who she had no doubt was the prisoner. She
at first mistook him for a gentleman whom she had
expected to call, and approached him in order to
speak to him, but he put his hand before his face and
walked away from her. The female prisoner had en-
tered her service in the name of Caroline Davis, with
a written character purporting to be from a lady whom
she had served three years.
Mrs Emma Matthews, whose husband is a printer,
residing at Waltham Cottages, Warner-road, Cam-
berwell, next identified the female prisoner, who had
entered her service on the 16th of August, and ab-
sconded on the following evening, when she went out
on pretence of going to the post-office, carrying off
two silver watches, a number of silver spoons' two
brooches, and other articles, several of which were
now produced by the police, who bad found them
upon the prisoner.

Mr. AiNOLD asked if she bad received a character
with the prisoner ? Mr. Matthews replied that the
prisoner, who then called herself Clara Watts, referred
to a lady at Ware, in Hertfordshire, in whose service
she had been, and witness having written to the given
address, received in answer the note now produced,
giving the prisoner an excellent character.
Mr. ARNOLD, after some further inquiry, again re-
manded the prisoners until next Friday, when other
charges will probably be preferred against them.
SOUTH NARK
Ellen Grant, a very respectable looking young
woman, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged
with murdering her infant child.
The prisoner, who was in a very weak state, was
accommodated with a chair during the examination.
John Slow, constable of the parish of Bermondsey,
stated that on the 26th of August last he received in-
formation that a child had been made away with in a
house in Crimscott-street. lie accordingly proceeded
to No. 10 in that street, and on going up stairs into
the prisoner's bed-room he found her in bed. He told
her that he understood she had delivered herself of a
child, and destroyed its life. She turned round her
head and told him it was all wrong. Witness then
left her and went into the parlour, where he saw the
body of a dead child, wrapped up in a cloth. Witness
had it conveyed to his house, and afterwards he buried
it. On the previous morning, finding the prisoner
sufficiently recovered, he took her from the house and
conveyed her to the police-station.
John Chalice, surgeon, of No. 4, Alscott-terrace,
Grange-road, Bermondsey, said that on Saturday
evening the 25th ult., he was sent for to No. 10,
Crimscott-street, where he found the prisoner in bed.
In answer to his questions she said she was unwell
from a female complaint. Witness then left her, and
returned to see her on the following morning. She
was then very ill, and from symptoms he observed
he was of opinion that she had recently been delivered
of a child. " He told her his opinion, when she de-
clared that she had not been delivered of a child, and
on his saying that he was convinced that she had, she
acknowledged such to be the case, and pointed to a
box in the corner of the room. She gave him the
key, and witness handed it to the mistress of the
house, who unlocked the box and searched it. At
the bottom of the box witness discovered the dead
body of a female infant under a quantity of clothes.
The box was taken out of the room, and the dead
body was placed in the parlour. Witness then gave
information of the circumstance to Slow, and after
the coroner's inquest he made a post morlem examina-
tion, but he did not find any external marks of
violence.

The prisoner having declined to make any answer
;o the charge, she was remanded until Monday.

NOTTINGHAM.—The hosiery trade in all branches,
with only one exception, is in a fair and healthy condi-
tion. The excepted case is that of silk gloves, which is
much depressed, but the season of the year is decidedly
against them. The bobbinnet trado is this week very
dull, most of the foreign houses having completed their
goods for Leipsic Fair, which commences on the Ist of
October. It is at this fair that the lace principally finds
a vent for the Russian dominions. There is a general
opinion that an improvement to some extent will take
place in the lace trade at the latter end of next month,
nod in January for hosiery. The rapid improvement in
the manufacture of flax thread will have a very bent).
fieial effect on the trade of England, Belgium, Western
Germany, and Northern France. Largo fortunes have
been amassed by tho manufacturers in consequence of
their superiority in preparing that material.—NO/€l.l7g-

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO M. DumAs.—M, Alex-
andro Dumas, the celebrated romance writer, narrowly
escaped destruction a few days ago. He was returning
with his family from a hunting excursion, in a two-
wheeled carriage drawn by one horse. In descending a
steep declivity near Complgne, the horse was unable
to sustain the weight of the chaise, and endeavoured
to throw himself on one side into a valley some 40
feet below the level of the road. Happily the drag
of the vohicle acted as a sort of anchor ; but the sud
den shock threw the four travellers to a distance of
10 or 12 feet. Poor Alexandre Dumas escaped with
some severe bruises and a broken gun; his son, with a
torn pantaloon, and their friend with a long swoon front
sheer fright.
