NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, FEIDAY.—The Nautilus, 8, Lieut.-
Commander W. T. Rivers, arrived this morning from
Oporto, which she left two days before the packet,
consequently she brings no news. Yesterday, about
10 o'clock in the forenoon, she saw, about ten miles
south of the Lizard, a brig called the Horatio, of
South Shields, in distress, foremast and bowsprit
gone, and other serious damage sustained, having been
run into on the previous night, about nine o'clock, by
a steamer going eastward, but which after cutting the
brig down never stopped to see what was likely to be
the result or to render the slightest assistance. She
was abandoned yesterday about four P.M., as she was
then sinking, and being Indian corn and wheat laden,
he decks would be blown up as the corn got saturated.
The forecastle deck had already been stove in. She
was filling fast. The Nautilus took the whole of the
crew, nine in all, on board; and brought them to this
port. The Nautilus attempted to tow the brig, and
carried away two hawsers in the attempt, when she
was obliged to leave her to her fate.
The Lively lighter returned last evening to this
port, after an absence of eight months on the coasts
and rivers of Ireland, conveying provisions for the
relief of the destitute. She brought 10 marines from
Cork, some empty casks, and a quantity of tar from
Plymouth.
The Blazer steam-vessel, Commander H. E. Win-
grove (acting), went out of harbour last evening, and
anchored at St. Helen's. She sailed thence before
daylight this morning for Harwich to resume her
survey.
The inspection of the Fury and Trincomalee by
the Commander-in-Chief has been ag :in deferred on
account of the boi-terous state of the weather till to-
morrow, when, if it should he more moderate, they
will be inspected, and paid advance the same day.
The Amphitrite will also be paid advance.
The Herald, 26, Captain Kellet, was at Callao on
the 12th of July. a letter from her of which date
says—" We arrived here on the 29th ult., and leave
for Huaine in six or eight days. The Second Mas-
ter (Mr. John Ottley) of the Pandora has declined
the service, and Mr. James Pyper, of the Juno, is
appointed in his place. The mates of the Herald and
Pandora are promoted. There are no mates to be had
here. We are to be at Panama in November."
The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour,
was at Arica on the 4th of July, a letter of which
date says—" We have been here fifty days, and are
quite tired of the cold. We sail hence on the 6th
for Valparaiso, there to wait for the Carysfort, from
Mexico, and then to England. We shall leave the
Pacific in August or September."
The Nereus, store depot, Master Commander
Brown, was at Valparaiso on the 28th of June, a
letter Gf which date says—" We are all well and
aline. The Constance (transport) will leave next
month. The Calypso, 20, Captain Worth, is gone
the round of the islands. The Juno, 26, Captain
Blake, is with the Admiral. The Spy, brigantine, is
gone to Mexico, and the Herald and Pandora, sur-
veying-vessels, are to meet the Admiral at Callao in
August. The Admiral will be here in September.
The Modeste, 18, Captain Watkins, is still in the
Columbia, having been aground. She is ordered to
England immediately."
Notice was received at all the Semaphore stations
yesterday from the Admiralty that from and after the
last of December next the duties will cease, the
electric telegraph superseding all other modes of
making signals. The line which has been carried
into the Admiralty at one end will be lsy that time
brought into the Admiral's office at this end, by the
branch of the South-Western Railway from Fare-
ham, through Portchester, Cosham, &c.
- The Flying Fish_was at St. Paul de Loando on the
. _

Ist of June, and sailed the same day for her station.
A short time previous they had taken a prize, a
schooner, a Brazilian slaver, the Jupiter. All well
on board.

In Harbour—The Victory, Excellent, Cambrian,
and Amphion ; the Geyser, Lightning, Comet,
Myrtle, and Echn steamers.
At Spithead—The Amphitrite, Trincomalce, Fury,
and Nautilus.
In the Basin—The Ajax, Retribution, Frolic, and
Rocket.
In Dock—The Prince Regent, Lender, Orestes,
Sappho, Rifleman, Kite, and Seaflower.
THE CLARENCE-YARD BATTALION.

This admirably organised corps had yesterday after-
noon some excellent practice at target firing in
Stokes-bay. The battalion marched out of the yard
abow 3 o'clock, and presented a most military ap-
pearance, headed by iheir excellent band. On their
arrival at Stokes-bay the guns took up their position
in line, and the battalion commenced firing at a
target, placed at a distance of 825 yards. Ihe wind
was very high, and blew directly aero.s the line of
fire ; nevertheless 18 shots out of 40 hit the mark—
two going completely throueh the bull's eye. Several
officers of the Royal Artillery, who were upon the
ground, spoke in hiirh terms of the practice, and
seemed much pleased at the steady and soldierlike
manner in which the men handled the guns. The
progress made by this corps in their military duties
during the three months they have been under drill
is truly astonishing, and reflects the greatest
credit on Colonel Sir E. Parry and the officers
of the corps, who have spared no pains to render
them everything that can be desired ; nor is
less merit due to the men, who on all occasit,ns evince
the greatest alacrity and zeal. 'We believe gun
No. 2 was the successful one, as upon the homeward
march of the battalion we observed that it was deco-
rated with laurels. There was likewise some very
fair practice with the carbine; but the day was most
unpropitious for ball firing. The battalion was to
have been reviewed this afternoon by Lieutenant-
General Sir Harry Smith, the Hero of Aliwal ; but,
in consequence of the badness of the weather, the in-
spection has been postponed until to-morrow. It is
most gratifying to hear the handsome manner in which
officers of high military rank speak of the Royal
Dockyard battalions, and the warm interest they ap-
pear to take in a scheme of so much importance to the
safety of our naval arsenals, as the efficient organiza-
tion of these promising and popular corps.
PLYMOUTH, SEPT. IG.—Her Majesty's steam,-
frigate Birkenhead, 556-horse power, Commander
Augustus IL Ingram, which has been most usefully
employed in assisting to float the Great Britain in
Dundrum Bay, arrived here from Liverpool this
afternoon, and anchored in the Sound at two o'clock.

Last night, at half-past nine o'clock, when off the
Lizard Point, the wind blowing very strong, she
unfortunately ran down a brig, name unknown. The
brig had her starboard tacks on board, and was reach-
ing cff ficm the Lizard, with the wind from the
southward and westward ; she went under the fri-
gate's Lows, and before clearing her knocked away
her for:.,rnast and bowsprit, and grazed the steamer's
starboard broadside and varter. The brig was ob-
served from the deck of the frigate prior to the col-
lision ; her speed was shortened, and efforts made to
avoid the contact. With an intention to assist the
brig, the frigate got out her boat immediately after
the accident, but the sea was so tempestuous that the
boat was instantly swamped. The frigate kept the
shattered vessel in sight for about two hours, when
she suddenly disappeared, and it is feared that from
the stormy state of the weather and the darkness ,
which prevailed, that the ill-fated vessel must have
gone down, and that ail her crew have unhappily
perished.
The Birkenhead's engines are damaged, her star-
board paddle-box and wheel are smashed, the cook's
galley carried away, cabin light chains broken,. and
starboard quarter injured. Several yards of the brig's
sail canvass have been extracted from the frigate's
paddle •box since she came into the Sound. The Bir-
kenhead bias bound to Portsrncuth, but in conse•
quence of the collision is now detained here to repair
dam,ges.
CHATHAM; SEPT. 17.—The Sealark, 10 gun brig,
Commander White, from the west coast of Africa, is
ordered to be paid off at this port, without any of her
internal fittings or bulkheads being removed. She is
looked kr to-morrow, as she arrived at Spithead on
the 14th inst
The Bonetta, 3-gun brigantine, Commander Thos.
S. Brock, was paid off into ordinary on the 16th inst.
The Arab, 12 guns. Commander W. Morris, fit-
ting for sea, is proceeding verylast with her rigging;
she is getting in her hands in a very fair manner.
The Oberon packet,steam. Lieutenant Gardner, is
alongside the sheer hulk, to
ceive her masts and to
be fitted for sea. She not be completed before
will
the end of next month.

The Diligence naval transport, Mr. Martin, master,
has arrived in the river with stores, from Pembroke,
for this yard.

THE MAILS.--SOUTRAMPTON, SEPT. 17.--The
Royal West India Mail packet Avon, Captain R s.
Norton, left the port this day at three P. 31., with the
West India mails, under charge of Lieutenant Brand,
RN. She takes out a full general cargo, 3,2001. in
gPecie, and above 70 passengers. The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Jupiter, Captain Mee-
ban, bound for Gibraltar, took out at three P.M. this day.
the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails, under care of
Lieutenant Inglis, R.N with a full cargo of bale goods
and 20 passengers. This coast has been visited with a
violent male of wind since Wednesday, which has not
yet pbated. The Jersey packet, which left the port at
seveh o'clock on Wednesday evenirg, but was obliged io
anchor in Yarmouth Roads for the night, was unable,
from the continuance of the storm, to
leave her moor-
ings until three P.M. yesterday, when she returned to
]lbis port with her passengers.

THE EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN.—We are happy
to say that this railway will be opened next week tor
public traffic, as far as Cupar on the Dundee fork, and
Lindores on the Perth, thus leaving comparatively a
short portion of the journey to these two towns to be
accomplished by stage coaches, until the whole line
is finished, which will be soon. To-morrow the di
rectors and a large party of friends will take a trip
along the line. Trains will start trom the northern
extremity at ten o'clock, and from Burntisland at.
twelve o'clock, the southern party leaving Cupar on
their return at half-past three o'clock.—Caledonian
Mercury.
Mr. Dargan, the contractor of the Great Southern
and Western Railway, states that by the close of the
present year trains will run the whole way from
Dublin to Limerick.—Limerich Railway Examiner.

SE RI OUS ACCIDENT ON THE
MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY, AT-
TENDED WITH LOSS OF LIFE.

The following, from a Correspondent, appeared in
our Third Edition of last night :
" I regret to inform you of a serious accident that
has happened to the express train leaving Manchester
for Leeds at one o'clock this day (Thursday), whQn
between llebden-bridge and North Dean stations. It
appeared to pass over something on the line, which
caused the carriages to jump; and the last, a first-
class carriage, had one of the hind wheels broken,
and they travelled in this state for several miles, with-
out the passengers being able to give 'the least infor-
mation to the guard. There were, fortunately, only
four passengers in the carriage, two of whom, I
killed;re-
a third has his arm broken,
much hurt, was left be-
hindga
nredt,
;bt oeainnsdagyt,hoetahfreoeruwrtihs wveh
very
y
gave me this information,
expected every moment to be his last, for his hat was
completely broken to pieces on his head, and his life
was only saved by clinging to the seat of the carriage
till it stopped. Surely it is high time that the pas-
sengers were in possession of some means to commu-
nicate with the guard when accidents of this kind
occur."

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
HALIFAX, FRIDAY.—An accident of a most fear-
ful character happened yesterday afternoon to an ex-
press train on the Manchester and Leeds Railway, by
which the lives of two passengers were sacrificed, and
many others seriously injured. The facts are de-
scribed as follow :—The train left Manchester at one
o'clock for Leeds and other towns in the north of
England, with a large number of passengers, amongst
whom were Captain Ellis, connected with the Admi•
ralty ; Mr. hobert Weston, Surveyor-General of
Customs ; Mr. Thomas Moon, his secretary, and Mr.
Gillard, superintendent of the telegraph. These
gentlemen were in the last carriage (a first- class one)
of the trait], which travelled at its ordinary rate, about
thirty miles an hour, until its arrival near the
Sowerby-bridge station, twenty-eight miles distant
from Manchester, and five miles from this town.
Here, from some cause, as yet not satisfactorily ac-
counted for, although it has been represented that the
high wind might have produced considerable oscilla-
tion, the last carriage got off the line. The repeated
concussions of the wheels in passing over the gravel
of the permanent way and the sleepers imme-
diately apprised the engine-driver and guards
that the train had met with some accident,
and on looking to the rear they per-
ceived what had happened. At the rate the train
was then proceeding it was impossible to bring it up
suddenly; as speedily as possible, however, it was
brought to a stoppage, but by that time the carriage
had struck the abutments of some of the bridges
with such force as nearly to demolish it, throwing
several of the unfortunate passengers out with con-
siderable violence. The train being stopped, all that
escaped material injury went to the aid of those who
were less fortunate. Mr. Gillard was found to have
been killed on the spot, his body was stretched on
the permanent way, having, no doubt, in being
hurled from the carriage, come in contact with one
of the bridges. In the wreck of the shattered car-
riage was Mr. Robert Weston, the Surveyor-Gene-
ral of Customs, shockingly injured, having sustained
compound fractures of the right thigh and left ankle,
and fracture of the skull. Mr. Moon, his secretary,
was also found to be seriously hurt, and the other
passengers in the carriage more or less so. With
every care they were removed to the nearest hotel,
and promptly attended by medical gentlemen from
all parts of the district. Unfortunately Mr. Wes-
ton a injuries were of so frightful a nature as to
preclude the posaibility of his surviving. He lin-
gered in great pain for some hours, when death ended
his sufferings.
Captain Buistead, R.N., and other directors, on the
recipt of the melancholy intelligence, repaired to the
scene of the dreadful disaster, with a view of attend-
ing to the condition of the unfortunate sufferers, as
well as to inquire into the cause of the accident. As
before mentioned the positive cause has not transpired,
but it is probable that, owing to the strongavind which
prevailed, the last carriage might have been cast off
the line. Prompt means were taken to stop all up
and down-trains on the accident occurring; in the
course of an hour, however, the obstruction was re-
moved, and the traffic proceeded as usual. Mr.
Weston, the Surveyor-General of Customs, was at
the time of the accident returning from an official
tour of the several ports in that part of the kingdom.
He was married, but has left no family. His melan-
choly fate has created the deepest sensation in the
neighbourhood.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
HADLEIGII, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—Yesterday,
was painfully excited by

rail-
way station, situate about a quarter of a mile distant.
The line, which is a branch of the Eastern Union
Railway, and branches off about four miles from
Ipswich, was opened for traffic about a fortnight
since. As is frequently the case, the main efforts of
the company had been to complete the line, leaving
the stations and accommodation buildings to be sub-
sequently erectel These have since been rapidly

regs.i.ta, and from the
ty n
oe annovnOeoniut chefda fur drayiliaquestion an excursion train had been

travellinglps h
between 500 and 600
of the inhabitants flocked thither to avail themselves
of it. These had all assembled on the platform wait-
ing for the train being backed up; and at the eastern
end, being the upper part, they were the most thickly
congregated, under [the shelter of the thirty feet of
wing wall above mentioned.
The wind had been blowing all the forenoon with
terrific violence, and was peculiarly felt at the station
from its exposed position. Just before the train had
been arranged to start a tremendous gust of wind
occurred, and the wing wall was thrown down in one
mass upon the passengers assembled beside, and who
must have numbered upwards of 150.
The scene is described by those who witnessed it
to have been dreadful in the extreme ; as it fell the
moot violent shrieks rent the air, and were the next
moment exchanged for the cries and groans of the
wounded. The platform gave way beneath the accu-
mulated weight, and this circumstance, and the very
large number of persons assembled, made the con-
sequences far more serious than would otherwise
have been the case. As it was, the effects of the ac-
cident were most disastrous; more than 60 are now
under medical care, and it has been almost as much
as the surgeons of the town could do to pay attention
to the different cases. Among the most serious are
the following :
Mrs. Harriett Pittock, fracture of both legs and
severe wounds of head : she is an aged woman, and
there is little hope of her surviving.
Mr. John Staines, fractured collar bone and severe
wounds of legs.
William Sheldrake, fractured thigh and wounds of
head ; this is also a bad case.
Mrs. Maria Jaslyn, fractured ribs and general in-
juries.

Thomas Theobald, concussion of brain and severe
wounds.

Susan Eighteen, fracture of right leg and injury of
left.

Eliza Arms, concussion of brain.
Mrs. Susan Brooks, fractured ribs.
Mr. May, fractured leg, and various bruises.
In addition to the above, many received serious
wounds of the head, body, and limbs. Every exer-
tion was made by the inhabitants in sending vehicles
to convey the wounded to their homes, and the most
general sympathy is felt for their sufferings. At pre-
sent no fatal results have occurred; but at this early
period no assurance can be given that such will not
be the case. Indeed, in some instances the most se-
rious apprehensions are entertained.
From what we could learn of the general opinion,
not the slightest blame is attributable to the railway
authorities or any other parties. The occurrence
was purely accidental, and can only be attributed to
the strength of the hurricane and the wall being newly
et ected.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 17.
W. THOMAS'S BANKRUPTCY.

The bankrupt in this case was a publisher carrying
on business in Catherine-street, in the Strand. The
principal of his debts have been contracted with the
London and provincial press, through whom he adver-
tised extensively.
On the part of some of the London papers an appli-
cation was made to receive proofs through representa•
tives, and to dispense with the appearance of registered
proprietors.

The COURT intimated that it could rot comply
with the request, but agreed to take the proofs by
affidavit.

The Sebastiani family, it is said, hare just obtained
from tne Government toe use of the l'epuin steamer to
transport to Corsica the remains of the unfortunate
Duchess de Fru

On behalf of the Provincial Newspaper Press So-
ciety an adjournment was asked, to allow the members
to put in nomination for assignee their President, the
Mayor of Cambridge, who is himself a newspaper pro-
prietor.

- As the applicant refused to pay costs fur an ad-
journment, Mr. James Wilson, newspaper proprietor;
of the Strand, WAS selected for assignee.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Sept. 17.
(Before the RECORDER.)

KINGSFORD V. BAKEBY AND OTHERS (GARNISHEES),
SEYMOUR (DEFENDANT).
This was an attachment, issued on the 15th of July
last, on which day it was alleged that the garnishees
had in their hands the sum of 1,0701., the money of
the defendant.

Mr. Ryland and Mr. Randall appeared for the
plaintiff.

It appeared that the plaintiffs were Messrs. Kings-
ford and Goodall, corn merchants, of Mark-lane; the
garnishees were also .connected with the Corn Ex-
change ; and the defendant, Horatio Nelson Seymour,
was a corn merchant, lately carrying on business at
Liverpool. Between the defendant and the garnishees
there was a kind of running account, and on the 15th
of July the garnishees were his debtors to the extent
of 5871., in addition to which they held ninety-seven
quarters of wheat belenging to the defendant, the
value of which was included in the attachment; but
it was proved that the grain was not sold until the
Bth of September, one day after the plea had been
put upon the record. A discussion ensued upon this
point, whether the plaintiff could exercise any claim
in respect to the produce of the wheat; but the Re-
corder ruled that he could not, and that a fresh
attachment must issue, observing that if he ruled
otherwise it would involve the commercial world in
difficulties, as it would be rendering that positive
which was merely speculative.
The jury were directed to find for the plaintiff for
5871., the amount proved to have been held when the
attachment issued.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAASION-HOUSE.
Yesterday, /l/ade'en, Griffith, Jacobs, and Colorer,
men in the employment of Messrs. Silver and Co.,
the extensive clothiers and outfitters in Cornhill and
Bishopsgate-street, were charged with having stolen
from the premises of their employers large quantities
of cloth and linen.
Mr. Watts, of the firm of Goodman and Watts, of
Coleman street, conducted the prosecution, and stated
that Messrs. Silver and Co., having had a contract
with Government for 40,000 garments for the use of
the dockyard and battalion, had occasion to employ
Z:8 hands in the cutting department alone. Having
sustained serious palpable losses, they were induced
to watch the conduct of the prisoners, all of whom
were found to be committing plunder, and they were
apprehended by the active officers employed in the
business of detection.
Joseph Huggett, City policeman, 484, made a state-
ment, of which the following is a summary ;—ln
consequence of information I went with policemen
Thain and Russell to Bishopsgate-within, at seven
o'clock on the evening of the 14th inst. I saw Mad-
den and Griffiths come out of Mr. Silver's warehouse,
No. 4i. We followed them to the Marlborough
Heed public-house, Bishopsgate-street. Griffith had
a paper parcel partly concealed under his coat, and in
a quarter of an hour Colmer joined them. At about
8 o'clock Jacobs came in, and they all sat together in
one box. Soon after they all came out together, and
Jacobs went. in the direction of Shoreditch, followed
'by Policeman Russell. Policeman Thain and I fol-
lowed Griffith and Madden, who went on to the Strand
and turned up a passage, when Madden took some-
thing from his pocket, and handed it to Griffith. We
observed that it was cloth. Griffith took the cloth
into a shop in Stanhope-street, and Madden went
down a street on the opposite side. Having seen
Griffith through the shop window untying the parcel,
I went in, found him in possession of a piece of blue
cloth, and asked him from what place he brought it.
He did not reply. The man of the house said he only
knew Griffith in consequence of selling some trim-
mings to him as a customer, but Griffith had never
brought cloth there before. I took Griffith into cus-
tody, and I afterwards found at his lodgings two
pieces of waterproof tweed cloth. I accompanied
Policeman Thain to Coltnar's lodgings, where I found
several pieces of goods, afterwards sworn to as the
property of Mr. Silver.
Policeman Thain confirmed the above evidence in
all important particulars, and added—l followed
Madden, who was in a street next to Stanhope-
street, and told him who I was, and that I would
take him into custody for having robbed his em-
ployers ; and he said that he knew nothing at all of
the sort. I afterwards searched his lodgings, and
found there a great many pieces of gatnbroon, black
lining, &e., and a duplicate relating to some cloth.
Policeman Russell said, I apprehended Jacobs and
Colmer in Mr. Silver's warehouse, and I afterwards
searched Jacob's lodgings, and found there some
lengths of cloths, trouser pieces, waistcoat pieces, &c.
John Davis, foreman in the service of Messrs. Silver
and Co., said, " The prisoners were in the employ-
ment our house in the capacity of cutters. It was
their duty to cut and prepare all their work upon the
premises of their employers, and they had no right
to take the slightest thing off the premises." The
witness then identified almost the whole of the pro-
perty as Messrs. Silver and Co.'s.
On his cross- examination by Mr. 'Wolff, for the
prisoners, the witness said, that Messrs. Silver and
Co. had the Government contract for the supply of
the dockyards. There was a peculiarity about the
cloth. He knew it as well as he should know his
own child, and did not believe there was any like it
in London.

Mr. Carter, jun., woollen warehouseman, of 65.
Baainghall street, stated that he supplied Silver and
Co. with cloth, and he believed that produced to he
part of what he had supplied.
Cross-examined--He sold that description of cloth
to no other house, and there was a difference in the
finish as well as in the substance.

Mr. Silver identified the various parcels of pro-
perty produced as his, and said he entertained not the
slightest doubt upon the subject.
Alf. Wolff said his clients would reserve their de•
fence for their trial, as the Lord Mayor seemed de•
termined to commit them.
GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Ellis Jones, who was understood to be
a builder's foreman, was charged before Mr. Alder-
man lloc.per and Mr. Alderman Wood with commit-
ting an assault while under the excitement of in-
toxication.

The complainant, John Torrance, a labouring man
residing in Sycamore-street, Old-street, stated, that
about twelve o'clock on the preceding night he was
returning home with his wife, in company with a
friend and his wife, when they met the prisoner in
Aldersgate-street. The two women walked together
a few yards in advance, while he and his friend followed,
talking over some trade matters, without having ob-
served anything had happened before he saw the prisoner
in the act of kicking his friend's wife. He stepped for-
ward and remonstrated against such unmanly conduct,
andwas immediately knocked down. His wife interposed
to prevent a disturbance and was herself knocked down.
Witness was knocked down twice afterwards by the
prisoner, who kicked him on the back part of the
head while he was lying on the ground. Blood flowed
profusely from the wound, and he had been obliged
to have all the hair shaved off the back part of his
head, that the wound might be properly dressed.
When the policeman came up the prisoner ran into
his lodgings in Aldersgate-buildings, but the officers
secured him.
Eleanor Prescott, residing with her husband in the
same house in Sycamore-street as the last witness,
confirmed his testimony. She was walking with Mrs.
Torrance, and the prisoner tried to push against them.
She pulled Mrs. Torrance out of his way, and, with-
out giving further offence, the prisoner made a kick
at witness. She avoided the intended violence by
bending forwards. Mr. Torrance interfered, and was
almostimmediately knocked down by the prisoner,
who also knocked Mrs. Torrance down.
John Prescott, the husband, also confirmed the
complainant's evidence.
In answer to questions from the prisoner, he ad-
mitted he had struck the prisoner in the face, but he
had first received a blow from him. The prisoner
had got his hat, and he attempted to take it from him.
He and his friend both attacked the prisoner after he
had ill-used them.
Neither of the witnesses was at all a match for the
prisoner in respect to size or age.
The policeman stated that the prisoner was drunk.
There was a considerable flow of blood from the
wound on Torrance's head.
The MAGISTRATES ineuired how the prisoner ob-
tained his living ?—He said he was a carpenter, and
alleged that the women wanted to be friendly with
him, and he merely repulsed them, and then the two
men attacked him together. He had no witnesses.
Mr. A lderman HOOPER, after consulting with Mr.
Alderman Wood, said, they were determined, as far
as possible, to prevent peaceable persons walking
through the streets by night from being molested,
and they adjudged the prisoner to pay a line of V. or
be imprisoned two months.

The prisoner raised the amount of the fine in the
course of the afternoon.
B 0 STREET.

Yesterday a middle-aged man, named John Robin-
son, who was tolerably well dressed, and had no
occupation assigned to him, was charged with having
incited Charles Bennett and Thomas Whittaker to
commit a robbery and murder at the house of an
elderly lady named Parkess, residing at Stepney.
The prisoner and Bennett, according to the state-
ment of the latter, met in a public-house on Friday
evening, the 10th inst., when the plan detailed below
was first proposed by the prisoner, with an intimation
(hat he would have to get an accomplice to assist him
in its Execution.
Thomas Whittaker, on being sworn, said—l am a
porter. I was at the Upholder Arms public-house in
Poland-street, Oxford-street, on Monday morning
last, and saw Bennett there. Ho said, "Do you see
anything in me that would lead you to suppose that I
could commit a murder or a robbery ? because a man
named Robinson has offered me 2001. or 3001. to do
it, and I mean to knock the fellow down when I see
again." I told him to tell me all about it, and
he then said that Robinson (the prisoner) said there
was a rich old lady living alone at Stepney, who
never suffered anybody to go near her, and kept all
her money in hard cash tied up in rags, about the
house, and that she had an annuity of 301. besides
401. from her son, a colonel in the army, who had not
seen her for 20 years. Bennett was to get a rope
and sack, and break into the house. He was then to
tie the rope round her neek, and if she made any re-
sistance to draw a knife across her throat. This
conversation, he said, had taken place at a
public-house on Friday night. The prisoner
came in, and he appointed to meet us at
the bottom of Ludgate-hill the next morning at
ten o'clock. I said, it would be better to tell the
police, and I sent for Sergeant Morris, of the E divi-
sion, and told him what had passed, arranging to
meet him on Ludgate-hill at the hour appointed to
see the prisoner. On Tuesday morning we all met
before 10 o'clock, and waited till after 11—Morris
being in private clothes—but the prisoner did not
come, so we went to Covent-garden and had some
bread and cheese together. At two o'clock Bennett
and I went to Mr. King's in Hart-street, and there
we saw the priioner again, Morris being outside.
The prisoner then appointed to meet us at the same
house, at 11 o'clock the next morning (Wednesday).
We went there at 11, but found the prisoner had
been and left a strip of paper, directing us " to go on
down Ho:born, where he would meet us." We went
on, and the prisoner overtook us. He led us through
Smithfield to Whitechapel and Mile End-road, and
proceeded on to Stepney, on reaching which he said.
" I will show Charles (Bennett) the house," and then
gave Bennett a letter, which he was to take to the
old lady's house, and say that it came from her son,
who had not seen her for so long. The prisoner
pointed out the house to us, and Bennett and I
went in. We found everything just as the prisoner
had described it to us, and we left the letter. We
met again at King's on Thursday, and gave the pri-
soner into custody.
By Mr. JARDINE—I do not wish to keep anything
back as I am on my oath. We did receive some
money from the old lady for our trouble, but not then.
When we were at the old lady's house on Wednesday
morning, she gave us six crown pieces, and a letter,
saying that it was for her son. We told this to Morris,
the constable, when we got back to Hart-street, and
he said we had better mark the money before giving
it to the prisoner. Bennett, Morris, and I, all agreed
to go up to the old lady's house again in the evening,
and we went together. We told her what the pri
soner had been inciting us to do, and offered to return
her the six crown pieces. She refused to have them
hack, and said she would give us more for our time
and trouble. She then gave me a sovereign and four
half-crowns, and we divided the money between us.
Mr. JARDINE—Who had this money ? Witness—
lam here to speak the truth, and I will do so. Ben-
nett had 10s., I had 108., and the constable had the
other 10s. We saw the prisoner at the Yorkshire
Gray on Thursday, and Morris took him into
custody.
Sergeant Morris, of the F division, No. 8, said—
About the middle of the day on Monday last Whit-
taker sent fur me to the Upholders' Arms in Poland-
street, where I found him and Bennett together.
They told me a man had been inciting them to commit
a murder and robbery at Stepney. I said, "'Where
is he ?" and they replied they did not know, but be-
lieved they could find him. I accompanied them to
another public-house in Hart-street, and waited out-
side while they went in. Whittaker told me they had
appointed to meet him on Ludgate-hill, and I pro-
mised to be there. The prisoner did not come to
Ludgate-hill on the Tuesday morning. We met
again at the Yorkshire Gray in the afternoon, and
they told me that the prisoner was to meet them the
next morning to go to Stepney and see the place. I
ascertained on Wednesday that the prisoner and
the witnesses had gone to Stepney, and I heard
no more until I accidentally met Bennett and
Whittaker in the afternoon, when they told me
they had been at the old lady's, and she had given
them six crown pieces for their trouble. They
wanted to give the prisoner into custody, but I said I
would have nothing to do with it, but would mention
what had occurred to the inspector. I agreed to go
with thfon over to the old lady's in the evening, and
we did so. I saw the old lady again, and told her what
the two men had been invited to do by. Robinson.
She said she had nothing there for them to steal, and
she was greatly obliged to us for telling her. On our
going away I saw her give some money to Whittaker.
I said I would take the prisoner, if they liked to give
him into custody. I believed they marked two of the
crown-pieces at my suggestion, and gave them to
Robinson. I took the prisoner into custody on
Thursday. With regard to the other money. I told
Whittaker that if I took any of it, it would be for my
expenses, such as cabs, drink, &c.; and he gave me
the 1.03. upon this understanding. I considered that
had nothing to do with the lady s giving them money,
anti they might pay me my expenses if they liked. When
I apprehended the prisoner, he wanted to see Bennett
ise.d Whittaker, to make it up with them. The two
marked crowns, he said, were given to him by Ben-
nett. He also produced a piece of writing to show
that he had instructed the men to use no violence.
The prisoner denied ever proposing the robbery or
murder. When he met Bennett, he treated him to
some drink, and said he might get a few shillings by
taking a letter to a certain party for him. He never
saw Whittaker till Bennett introduced him, and then
he (Whittaker) showed him a large dissecting knife,
saying, that " this will do the trick," adding, "that
he was a resurrection man and used the knife to dis
sect the (lead." That's all he knew about it.

Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner till Tuesday.
Morris inquired if the presence of the old lady, who
was very infirm, was necessary ?
Mr. JARDINE would let him know.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Pfatt a folded order, and, in a tone intended to escape'
he witness's hearing, asked him to endorse the de-
livery note with the name of the witness (Shepherd),
,nstead of his own, and that Pratt thereupon took it
into his bar, and having endorsed the note as re-
quested, returned it to Pratt, who then drove off. ,
Mr. Charles Cooke, one of the out-door clerks, and
Mr. Andrew Marr, the storehouse clerk, proved the
prisoner Pratt's possession of the stolen ale, and the
discovery of two more barrels in his cellar, with the
marks and numbers of the prosecutors' firm upon
them ; and Mr. Davii Hunter foreman of the ale,
department, stated that he could positively swear the;
the contents of at least one of these butts, which the
..
prisoner asserted had been in his house for about
three months, must have been in the prosecutors pre-
mises so late as the 11th inst.
confirmatory of that previously given,
The rest of the evidence now adduced was chief',

Court.

A young French girl, asquning the name of Leoline
de Villars, who, it will be recollected, represented
her,elf and sister as daughters of the Countess de
Villars, whose family castle was situated in the Isle
of Bonn, applied to Mr. Bingham to assist her to
recover her clothes, which she said had been taken

away from the house No. 30, Foley-place, in which
she lodged, by a person named Fossard, who rented
the house. Mr. Bingham directed the complainant to
have a summons against the party who unlawfully
detained her property, and the summons, which was

SOUTHWARK.
Yesterday John Marshall, the man charged With
attempting to poison his wife by infusing tobacco in
a glass of ale of which she partook, was brought in
fore Mr. Cottingham for final examination en the
charge.
Since the last examination a portion of the snuff
purchased by the prisoner on the night it was allege
he had mixed the article in the ale which he give ,
wife to drink was analysed, and was found to be 7
adulterated with other ingredients as to render it
comparatively innocuous. It was impossible, how:
ever, to discover what quantity of the snuff had bet;
infused in the ale, as only a small quantity ef t"
dregs were left in the glass, not sufficient, it 13.13 ti:
peared, to produce the test necessary to prove Vi lbut
any degree of certainty its deleterious effeetS;t h 1 t
at all events it was stated by the medical men /._
had not the stomach-pump being promptly used tn,;
consequences might have resulted in the VITORIAB
death.
The wife, whoa ppeared as an unwilling witness ill
the case, and who, it will be recollected, was coin;
mitted in default of appearing to prosecute, no
,
stated that she had no wish to press the charge, eva
that all she required was that the prisoner would ke.ep
away from her, as she never intended to reside unnet'
the same roof with him as long as she lived.
The prisoner asseverated that he never had nn_Ybionci
tention of injuring his wife, and added that 11Q, a
only purchased a halfpennyworth of snuff's °
„in that
small ortion of which he put into the ale, nu was
it wasp done more out of a foolish freak when potion
intoxicated than to make her ill ; that if such acould
as poisoning his wife had entered his head, it ,
not be supposed that he would merely, have dropped
a pinch or two of snuff into the ale whch she dra.nt.
As she had expressed a wish not to live with :LI:
again, he was perfectly ready and willing to In ''
her a promise never to go near her again.
The wife said that was all she required, e 51e
which
complained of the trouble and loss of time t° th et
she had been subjected owing to the affair, and,
~/5_
she wanted to have no further to do in the busin7.oi
adding that she should take good care in future i:,,,
to accept of any invitation either to eat or drink rilL"
the accused.
Mr. COTTTNGIIAM, having remarked on the disin:
clination evinced by the wife to come forva!
throughout, and the difficulty that would be erical.
tared in proving the case, said that, instead of him
mi tting
the prisoner for trial, he should adjudge la„
to find
sureties to appear at the next sessions to 0:.
swer the charge, if the complainant thought proper,Z,
prosecute, and that he should also make hint erw,
into his own recognizance to keep the peace.

granted to her in the name of Rose Leroy, was ap-
pointed to be heard yesterday.
On Thursday a foreigner, who gave the name of
Adolphe Block, complained that the same individual,
Alexander Fossard, had also carried off a quantity of
clocks and other valuables to a considerable amount,
together with a bill of exchange for 2,000 francs,
which he alleged was his property. The complainant,
however, in the course of his examination, gave the
magistrate reason to believe that a sort of partnership
existed between himself and Fossard ; consequently,
the magistrate did not grant the application for the
summons.

Yesterday the defendant Fossard came forward and
stated that he cleared the house, 30, Foley-place, of
the property in it, because he had reason to believe it
was in contemplation to indict the house. The clothes
of the young French girl were at a place of safety,
and would be given up to her immediately on appli-
cation. With respect to the other charge, he was
willing to give up any property that could be fairly
claimed ; but with regard to the bill of exchange, he
could not restore that, as he knew nothing about it.
Police- constable Scott, C 119, was authorised to
see that the property in question was brought into
Court and given up to the parties who claimed it.
This was done, and Leoline de Villars, alias Leroy,
went away very well satisfied, her sister (Esther de
Villars) going off in a different direction with the de-
fendant Fossard.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday John Press, drayman in the service of
Messrs. Truman and lianbury, the brewers, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, for final exa-
