HER MAJESTY S RETURN TO OSBORNE. GLOU-
CESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. Some rumours have
bean circulated that her Majesty will travel on her re-
turn from Scotland by the London and North-Western
line, and so pass through the metropolis. This is incor-
rect, official information having been received that her
Majesty and the Royal Family will travel along the Mid-
land Railway, to its extremity at Gloucester, and thence
by the Great Western up to Basingbroke, where she
will get upon the South-Western line. The secretary of
the Bristol and Birmingham (Midland) Railway yester-
day had an interview with the mayor of Gloucester
(having received instructions for the special trains), to
confer with him as to the measures to be adopted for the
reception of the royal visitors on their arrival at the
Gloucester station. The Queen will leave Edinburgh on
Thursday next, and will travel thence as far as Derby
on that day. She will rest at Derby, and proceed on-
wards to Glocester on Friday morning. The royal
trains (for there will be two) will only stop once between
Derby and Gloucester, viz., at Eckington, a small village
atati in ce'ebrated for its fine water foe engineering pur-
poses. Here the trains will stop for a few minutes to
take in water, and will then pass on to Gloucester,
about twenty -three miles further, without stopping
at Cheltenham or any intervening station. Her
Majesty may be expected to arrive at Gloucester by
noon, or early in the afternoon, and a short delay will
occur here in consequence of the break of gauge. At
Gloucester special trains will be in readiness on the
broad gauge, which will convoy the Royal party up the
Cheltenham and Swindon branch of the Great Western,
on to the Great Western main line at Swindon, and
thence up to the Basingstoke junction, unless her
Slajesty should decide to go on to Windsor. It is under-
stood, however, that her Majesty is very desirous of com-
pleting the journey to Osborne on Friday. At Glou-
cester to-day workmen are busily employed in painting
and furbishing up the old station approaches, which will
be put into as sightly a condition as circumstances will
permit. Tho platform for her Majesty's reception will
be laid with carpeting, and every convenience practicable
will be put into operation. To night a special meeting
of the Gloucester Corporation has been summoned by
the mayor, to take into consideration the best means of
showing the loyalty and attachment of the citizens to her
Gracious Majesty and her illustrious Consort. The
Queen does not go into the Birmingham station, but will
pass by way of Hampton, in order to avoid the iuconve-
rii,nt " lift ' from the Derby to the Birmingham level.
PEMBROKE ROYAL DOCKYARD.—During the late
visit of the Lords of the Admiralty to this establish-
ment t'ley directed that the new system of individual
payment of the dockyard wages, by the storekeepers,
should be put into operation on the Ist of October next;
and in the interim the various clerks have been ordered
to proceed to Woolwich, in order that they may become
practically acquainted with the working of the system.
The coast-guard of the district have been brought to th•
Pembroke Dockyard by the Skylark revenue cutter, for
the purpose of instruction being afforded them in the use
of heavy artillery. The men aro now undergoing a
course of drilling, and the ship gun battery erected for
the service of the Royal Dockyard Battalion has been
placed at their disposal. When sufficiently advanced in
the practice they will be instructed in cartridge firing.
It is proposed to convert the house at llobb's Point,
formerly occupied by the agent of packets, into a garri-
son hospital. For this purpose a survey was made by
the Lords of the Admiralty. during their late visit, but
no order as yet has been issued on the subject. The
Royal Dockyard Battalion have become most efficient
under the able instructions of the officers appointed by
Government, and at their late field-day the various evo-
lutions were performed in a manner that elicited the
warmest approbation of the inspecting officer, Colonel
Sir Thomas Pasley.
SOUTH-WEST MIDDLESEX AGRICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.—The thirty-fifth annual meeting of the members
of this society took place yesterday at Southall, and was
attended by a large number of the influential residents
in the county. Tho society has for its object the
encouragement of good ploughing, and other agricultural
improvements, as well as giving rewards to servants for
good conduct and long service. In the morning a
ploughing match took place on the farms of Mr. M.
Sherborne and Mr. A. Welch, closely contiguous to the
Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and
prizes having been distributed, tho proceedings, as usual
upon such occasion-, w :und up with a dinner at the Lion
Hotel, Southall. R. IL Cox, Esq., presided, and was
supported by Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., Captain
Cole, Arthur Wood, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Smith, J.
Cooper, Esq., E. Montgomery, Esq, and other magis-
trates of the county. On the walls were many agricul-
tural devices, and the whole affair, indeed, was tastefully
arranged under the superintendence of Mr. Gotelee, of
Hounslow, the secretary of the society. The report,
presented by Mr. F. Sherborne, the treasurer, stated
that the rewards distributed to ploughmen during the
past year had amounted to 791. ss, and to servants, for
long service, &c., 1271. 155., making a total of 2071.
THE SANITARY STATE OF BIIIMINGIIAM.—It ap-
pears, that in consequence of the prevalence of cholera
in Coventry, the troops now quartered in the barracks of
that city are to be removed, and guard is to be kept by
detachments of infantry from Birmingham. Those are
to be relieved by a fresh party from Birmingham every
seven or ten days, the others returning to their quarters
in the midland metropolis. The sanitary committee of
the Birmingham poor-law guardians have taken alarm at
this arrangement, and a deputation has been appointed
to wait upon Colonel Arbuthnot, the commandant of the
d4triot, to remonttrate with him upon the oubjeet.

CAUTION TO BETTING MEN.-BURNMXN V. CAUNT.
This was an action brought by the p!aintiff, a
licensed victualler, against Ben Caunt, the pugilist,
Champion of England, to recover the sum of 81., de-
posited as stakes pending the result of a certain fight
between Herbert and Armstrong, two well-known
boxers.
It was stated by plaintiff's attorney that his client
had betted the sum claimed with a third party re-
specting a prize battle between two fighting men,
the stakes were deposited with the defendant, and
ultimately it was arranged that each party should
receive back his money, but the stakeholder, however,
refused to hand over plaintiff's claim, although in
answer to an application fur it he addressed the fol-
lowing singular epistle :
" To Sir. Burnruan.—Sir,—Upon consideration, I find
it quite unnecessary to come to your house to make any
other arrangement to %hat I have previously dime. It is
your own money, and there it is ready. .at my house any
time you like to send fur it. Anything different I shall
never do.

(Sianed) " BEN. CAUNT."
Mr. DUNCAN continued, that although the defendant
possessed so high a reputation in the sporting world,
it was his intention to set up the dishonest defence, by
rejecting his liability to the claim under the 18th sec-
tion of the 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 109.
Tne JUDGE—If that be the case, I think the Act is
quite conclusive upon the point. The objection hav•
mg then been made by defendant's solicitor, the plain-
tiff was accordingly nonsuited.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 25.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and
a Bench of Slaristrates.)
This morning the September sessions for the
county of Middlesex commenced at Hicks'-hall,
Clerken well-green. The calendar contains the names
of 69 prisoners, of whom 65 are indicted for felony.
Of this total there are only two who are described as
being able to read and write well, 34 who can scarcely
read and write, seven who can read only, and 20 who
can do neither.
The grand jury having been sworn,
The Learned JUDGE briefly addressed them.
William Fowler, aged 26, was indicted for having
stolen a case and a pair of pisfols of the value of 31,
the property of Henry Langham, the younger.
It appeared that the prisoner, on the 7th of July
last, had taken a lodging in the house of a Mrs. Lang-
ham, who resides at 81, Seymour-place, Bryanstone-
square, and that on the 12th he left the premises
without giving any notice, neither did he return, nor
did he pay any portion of his rent. The discovery of
his having gone off in this manner had not been very
long ascertained when it was found that the pistols
and case in question were also missing from the room
adjoining that which had been occupied by the
prisoner. The pistols were the property of the son
of the landlady, and were worth between 3/. and 41.,
and had been seen in the room on the Sunday preced•
ing the day on which the prisoner was found to have
gone off.
The assistant of a pawnbroker, of the name of
Young, who carries on his business at 51, Princes-
street, Leicester-square, stated that the pistols which
he then produced had been pawned at his employer's
shop at an early hour on the morning of the 12th of
.July, and that shortly afterwards they had received
information of the articles having been stolen. From
that time, until Tuesday last, nothing more had been
heard about the thief, nor had any clue been obtained
as to his whereabouts ; but on that day the prisoner
called at his master's shop and requested to be allowed
to look at the pistols, as be had purchased the dupli-
cates of them for 355. from a friend; and that, having
done so, he meant to take them out. Upon this the
pawnbroker's assistant looked well At the man, and
then recognising him as the actual pawner, said,
" Why, that seems strange, because you are the man
who pawned them." The prisoner at once told the
assistant that he was under a mistake, but the latter
reiterated his assertion as to his being the man ; and
having communicated to him that he was aware that
the pistols had been stolen, he sent for a policeman,
into whOse custody he gave him. -
The policeman, 27 0, said that having received the
prisoner into his custody, he subsequently caused the
pistols to be shown to young Mr. Langham, by whom
they were at once retognised as those which had
been taken from his room, and which were his
property. This gentleman added that they had been
taken from a room in his mother's house, at 81,
Seymour-place, whereupon the prisoner instantly
said, that not only had he never known Mrs.
Langham, but that he had never been at the house
mentioned. The witness, however, did not believe
him, and therefore he took the prisoner to Mrs. Lang-
ham, by whom he was instantly identified as the man
who had hired the apartments; but he denied that
statement with much indignation. Upon this Mrs.
Langhatn produced a letter which she had received
at her house, but which was addressed to the priso-
ner, and having perused its contents, he readily ad-
mitted that the letter was for hi:n, and from that
moment he ceased to declare that he had never lived
in the house.
Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the prisoner, contended
that, when the prisoner had gone to the pawnbroker's
to redeem the pistols, he had done so with tie inten-
tion of restoring them to their rightful owner. It
was not pretendel for one moment that the prisoner
bad not taken the pistols, but he was bound to couple
with that admission, that when he had visited tie
pawnbroker's shop on Tuesday, it had been with
the intention of returning them to Mr. Langham,
the son.
Several witnesses were then called, all of whom
gave the prisoner an excellent character.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up the whole
of the evidence,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE thereupon sentenced the pri-
soner to three months' imprisonment, with 'laid
labour.'
William Morris, aged 15, was indicted for having
stolen two bushels of oats and a sack, the property

of James Peto, to whom he was servant.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor tha
he is a farmer at lletton, near l3rentford, and that the
prisoner, who was in his employ, on the morning of the
18th inst. was in the act of leaving the farm, in pursu-
ance of his previous instructions, with a load of po-
tatoes, which he was to convey to Covent-garden
market. The prosecutor, on casting his eyes towards
the contents of the cart, fancied that the prisoner was
about to take a larger quantity of provender for the
team than could possibly be required for so short a
journey and so short an absence, and accordingly he
had a portion of it taken out of the cart. In the
operation of removing the bundles of tares, a sack,
which was found to contain two bushels of oats, was
exposed to view. On making this discovery he caused
the boy, to be taken into custody.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty upon this evi-
dence.
The prosecutor then stood up, and most earnestly
appealed to the Court to deal leniently with the
prisoner. The reason why he was so anxious that
thel boy should be lightly punished was, first, that
he had good grounds for supposing that this was his
first offence, and next, that if he were to be made
the subject of a severe sentence, the boy would be
altogether ruined. Then there was another reason
why he was desirous for the boy to be at liberty.
He was a yearly servant, and if he were at large he
would have an opportunity of obtaining another place
at the approaching Michaelmas, and thereby, by his
future good conduct, retrieving his character.
The Learned JUDGE observed that the prosecutor
had conducted himself in a most creditable and
charitable manner. The Court, however, were inclined
to think that the boy at the bar could give such infor-
mation as would enable the apprehension of a person
or persons who were far greater rogues and thieves
than the lad himself—namely, the party or parties to
whom he had intended to take the oats. Now, after
the recommendation of the prosecutor, if the prisoner
would divulge the necessary information, the sentence
which would be passed upon him would be very dif
ferent indeed from that which, under the ordinary
circumstances, it would have been.
The prisoner was then removed to his cell below.
After the lapse of some time the constable com-
municated to the Court that he had had an interview
with the boy, but that it had been to no purpose, as
he had told him that he should not say a word about
the matter ; and that the Court might do what they
liked with him.
The Learned JUDGE having ordered the prisoner to
be again placed in the dock, said, that as he had re-
fused to give the requisite information, the sentence
must be unaccompanied by the intended lenity. Had
he given the infoxnation which would have enabled
the man who had led him into crime to be appre
handed, and in the end punished, the sentence would
have been seven days' imprisonment. Not having
chosen to do that, the prisoner would now have t(
undergo an imprisonment of six months, with hard
labour.
W. Grin(llay Gricc pleaded Guilty to an indict-
ment, charging him with having stolen a valuablf
dressing case, with silver fittings, of the value of 81
the property of Isaac Jacobson.
Mr. Meller appeared to defend the prisoner, who,
A being arraigned, had pleaded .Not Guilty, which

reports.
Mr. MELLEa said, that was an extremely pain-
ful case, and he had advised the prisoner to plead
guilty because there really was not one single point
in this ease upon which the least hope of an acquittal
could be hung. The prisoner was a young man, not
only of highly respectable connexions, but of highly
cultivated talents, for he was the master of five or
six languages. But in the present day it was well
known that men of the largest attainments and of the
highest acquirements were oftentimes unable to
obtain those positions wherein those valuable abilities
could be made available to them. So had it been in
the case of this young man, and the consequence had
been that, instead of reaping the advantages of the
vast powers with which Providence and his own
early application had blessed him, he had been com-
pelled to endeavour to obtain -a livelihood by par-
chasing furnieure and other articles on commission.
Success, however, had not accompanied his efforts, and
at last, in a fit of desperation, induced by an all but
state of starvation he had fallen into the commission
of the offence with which he at that moment stood
charged.
Several witnesses deposed to the honesty of the
[risoner's character, to his unremitting efforts to
earn a livelihood, and to the great propriety of his
general conduct.
Mr. WITHAM (who was at this time sitting for Mr.
Sergeant Adams) said, that this was a very serious
case, but that under the peculiar circumstances which
had surrounded the prisoner, he would be dealt as
mildly with as was possible. The Learned Gentle-
man then recapitulated the facts' of the case (which
' appeared in our columns about a week since), and
concluded by sentencing the prisoner to four months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
The Court will sit tomorrow (this) morning at
the Guildhall, Westminster, in consequence of the
inconvenience which the re-painting and white-
washing of the Sessions-house at Clerkenwell have
caused.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL. •
Charles Thomas, who was remanded on Saturday
last on the charge of obtaining fraudulently fancy,
goods to the amount of 401. 17s. 11d., from Mr. Hel-
laby, of No. 7, Huggin-lane, stock, brace, and belt
manufacturer, was brought up for further examina-
tion before Mr. Alderman Lawrence.
Mr. Walker, from the office of Messrs. Mardon
acid Prichard, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the
city of London Trade Protection Society, and Mr.
Beard, from Mr. Buchanan's office, defended the pri-
soner.
Mr. Beard said that, with the Alderman's per-
mission, he wished to cross-examine the principal

witness.
Mr. Farrar, in answer to Mr. Beard's questions,
said—This piece of paper, written by the referee (Mr.
Bickham), is in the same state as when I received it
from the servant. At tbat time I was in no employ-
ment, but acted as an agent on my own account. I
had previously lived with Mr. Farmer, when the
prisoner gave an order for some parasols and referred
me to Bickham. of 6, Noel-street, Duncan-terrace,
City-road. I went to that person and told him to
call on Mr. Farmer, which he did, and the reference
was considered satisfactory.
Mr. Beard—Were the goods supplied ? Mr. Far-
rar—They were not.
Mr. Beard—At what time did you get this paper
from the referee ? Mr. Farmer—Why, after I left
Mr. Farmer in my capacity as an agent, I called on
Mr. Thomas and said, that as he had given such a
good recommendation I should not mind serving him
in any way of business, and it was after that I got
the written document from Mr. Bickham, saying
that I was perfectly safe in any transactions I might
have with the prisoner.
Mr. Beard—Then it was before you executed any
order for Mr. Hellaby that you obtained this recom-
mendation ? Mr. Farrar—On execution of this order

I showed him the piece of paper, and said I was glad
to execute such a good order on such an excellent
recommendation, and that it was a great pleasure to
do business with a man who could be depended upon.
Alderman LLICRBNCE—Did you receive that do-
cument after you left Mr. Farmer, and before you
became traveller to Mr. Ilellaby T Mr. Farrar—
I did.

By Mr. Walker—lt was on the strength of this re-
Lrence that I solicited the order from the prisoner.
Alderman LAWRENCE—I do not see how this
piece of paper can at all be connected with the false
representation as respects Mr. Heßaby's case, because
such a document was obtained by the witness pre-
vious to his entering into that person's employ, and
might refer to anybody else. It was not transferable,
and, not being written in relation to Hellaby, that case
is discharged.
Mr. \\Talker said, that as that case had fallen to the
ground, he should now proceed to adduce evidence
of such a nature as to justify the prisoner's being
remanded on another. There were upwards of 20
people in the room who had been victimized, but,
not having time to examine into their cases, in
consequence of the shortness of the remand, he
should not take up the time of the Court by call-
ing them at present; but he should produce evidence
to show that in March, 1849, he resided at Beau-
mont street, Marylebone street, under the name of
Thomas Hogg, and obtained goods to the amount
of between 501. and 601., some of which bad been
supplied in the City, and some in Middlesex,
whereas it would also be shown that he had
figured in the Insolvent Debtors' Court under the
name of Brandon. It would also appear
that he had gone under the names of
Thomas Brandon, Thomas Charles Brandon,
and Charles Thomas Brandon, and that he
was in the habit of taking houses for two or three
years, per agreement, entering them just pre-
vious to quarter-day, and, after malting the most of
his time by swindling the tradesmen in the neigh-
bourhood, decamping before the first quarter was due,
and keeping the landlord out of possession. In
another case he took a house, where there were up-
wards of 401. worth of fixtures, which were after-
wards removed, and had been traced to the neigh.
bourhood of the Kent-road. In one case a bill had

been given, but, as a matter of course, was never
taken up, and a tailor who took home some clothes on
Saturday night, expecting to get his money, was told
that the prisoner was not at home, but he had better
leave the goods and call on the following Monday,
when he would be paid. He did so, and, on calling,
found, as in every other case, that his customer had
moved away before six o'clock in the morning.
Alderman LAWRENCE—CaII your witnesses, and if
there is sufficient evidence, I most certainly will
remand him.
Mr. Henry Vyse, of the firm of Vyse and Sons, 76,
Wood-street, Cheapside, merchant., and straw-hat
manufacturers, said, in the month of February last
the prisoner called at our warehouse, in the name of
Thomas Hogg, and requested us to open an account
with him. I said, the usual course was to give a
reference, upon which he gave me the name of Mr.
Willis, Maze pond, gentleman, in consequence of
which we supplied him with certain goods, under the
name of Hogg, as Willis became his security. From
inquiries made, we understood Mr. Willis was a re-
tired gentleman, living on his property. Not getting
the money from the prisoner, further inquiries were
made, and it was found that both customer and referee
had moved off, after.. swindling almost every person
in the neighbourhood. _
Alderman LAWRENCE—How came you to find out
his sudden removal ? Mr. Vyse—Why he promised
to pay OR the Monday, and on sending some goods
which had been ordered it was then discovered that he
had run away, as well as Mr. Willis. The latter gave
a letter; saying that he would be answerable to a
certain amount.
Mr. Walker—lf the prisoner had given his true
name (Brandon), would you have supplied him with
these goods ? Mr. Vyse—Certainly not. It is usual
in our way of business to search the books and see
if any person's name is on the list as bankrupt or
insolvent.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Did you look over that list?
Mr. Vyse—Yes. Here's a copy with the name of
Brandon in different Christian names.
Mr. Beard—How do you know the prisoner is that
per‘ou? Mr. Walkee-1 will prove that by a witrnxi
which I intend to call.
By Mr. Beard—This letter is in my handwriting.
It sm.:3 the reference was satisfactory.
M. Beard—lt was for that reason you gave credit ?
Mr. Vyse—lt was.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Believing his real name to
be Thomas Hogg ? Mr. Vyse—Yes.
Mr. Beard—Are you not proceeding against the
prisoner in another court for this very debt ?
Mr. Walker—We admit the fact as against Hogg,
unfortuqately, but we, on discovering that is not his
name, can now proceed criminally.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Has the list been looked at
to see ,t-* tn.re waa a person of doubtful character
named Hogg 1' Mr. Vpo—Yes, and there is no such
name.
Mr. George Thirkell, in the service of Messrs.
Vyso au i cn,, deposed to making inquiries, and AO-
