CHURCH DISCIPLINE.

On Friday a return to an address of the House of
Commons, made in February last, was printed, showing
" the number of suits against clerks in holy orders, in
the courts of the archbishops and bishops in England
and Wales, since the Church Discipline Act, 3 and 4
Victoria, c. 86," stating, " whenever an offence has
been proved against such clerk in holy orders, the name
of the clerk, the nature of the offence, and the sentence
pronounced by the judge." There have been fourteen
suits instituted in the Arches Court of Canterbury
against clerks in holy orders, under the Act mentioned,
in two of which suits the offences charged were not
proved, and two suits remained, on the 13th of March
last, undetermined. There were two suits against one
clerk in the diocese of Bath and Wells, and seven in the
diocese of Exeter. There were three suits in the diocese
of Gloucester and Bristol. In the Court of the Bishop
of Lincoln preliminary proceedings were only
taken in three cases, and the parties accused con-
sented to abide the summary judgment of the bishop ;
" no proceedings were taken in the Court, and conse-
quently (to use the language of the registrar), no of-
fence was proved against any of those three clerks." In
the case of the Rev. William Day, of Hawridge, in the
archdeaconry of Buckingham, after the preliminary in-
quiry, the suit was taken by letters of request to the
Court of Arches. The offences charged were drunken-
ness and the commission of gross acts of violence. Mr.
Day made no defence, and the judge suspended him ex
officio et beneficio for three years. The costs of the pro-
secution amounted to 2232 Is. 10d., of which 504 will
be defrayed by the Rev. H. Jefferys, a landed proprietor
of the parish, the rest by the bishop. Costs were given
against Mr. Day, but as his living of Hawridge was
under sequestration, none can be recovered. In the
Court of the Lord Bishop of Norwich there was a suit
against a clerk for non-residence, and sentence was given
against him, on which he appealed ; the sentence was
confirmed, and an appeal was made to the Privy Council,
which is still pending. A like suit was instituted against
the same party for eight months' non-residence in his
rectory in 1844, which is still pending. In the Arches
Court of Canterbury William Hawkes Langley (clerk)
was proved guilty of brawling in the parish church, and
suspended ab officio for eight months. Henry Erskine
Head, for publishing a letter in derogation and depraving
of the Book of Common Prayer, was suspended ab
officio et beneficio for three years ; Henry Henslowe, for
refusing to bury a corpse, after notice and warning given,
was suspended ab officio for three months ; John Hurst,
for profane cursing and swearing, and lewd and indecent
conduct, and conversation, and adultery, or incontinence,
was suspended ab officio et beneficio for three years, and
until a certificate of good behaviour and morals during
suspension, signed by three beneficed clergymen, be
produced and approved of by the Court • John Jones,
for adultery and fornication, was suspended ab officio et
beneficio for two years, and until a certificate of good
behaviour during suspension be produced ; Frederick
Oakeley, for having published a pamphlet affirming doc-
trines contrary to the articles of religion—his license
was revoked and himself suspended ab officio until he
shall retract bis errors ; William Day, for habitual and
excessive drunkenness, and having been convicted of an
assault, was suspended ab officio et beneficio for three
years, and until a certificate be produced ; Arthur
Loftus, for lewd and indecent conduct and conversation,
adultery, fornication, or incontinence, was deprived of
his preferment ; Henry Cresswell, for quarrelling, fight-
ing, and habitually swearing, frequenting public-houses
and intoxication, was suspended for eighteen months ab
officio et beneficio, and until a certificate be produced of
good behaviour ; and Henry Heathcote, for having been
convicted of an assault with an intent to commit an un-
natural crime, inhibition from exercise of the ministry,
and from all discharge of his clerical office. The offences
in the diocese of Exeter were in publishing the bans and
solemnizing a marriage when neither of the parties lived
in the parish ; for officiating without the license and
against the monition of the bishop ; for omitting in the
burial service certain parts of the office, and for pub-
licly reading prayers, &c., in an unconsecrated building.
In the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, Harry Grey
was suspended for three years for frequenting houses of
ill-fame and committing fornication ; and George Marcus
d'Arcy Irvine, for celebrating an illegal marriage, was
suspended for one year.

THE APPROACHING PHEASANT SHOOTING SEASON.
—Thursday next being the Ist of October, pheasant
shooting will commence, and sportsmen will enter the
pheasant covers this year with a good prospect of sport.
The pheasant preserves in Surrey, Sussex, and Hants,
are well stocked with young pheasants. The past
summer has been equally as favourable to the hatching
and rearing of pheasants as to partridges. The hen
pheasants stole away to neat very early in the spring,
and brought out large broods, and the young birds got
strong before making their tail feathers, which is the
most precarious time for pheasant poults, as, should the
weather or the lands be wet at this period of growth,
they aro frequently seized with a kind of croop, which
kills them in large numbers. Young pheasants are now
very strong on the wing, scale the woods swiftly, and
will require a keen sportsman to bring them down. The
young, cock pheasants have attained a good plumage, and
by the general early clearance of bean and barley crops,
the young pheasants have fed in the shed corn, and are
now in exceeding plump and good condition.
MATRIMONIAL BLUNDER AND EXTRAORDINARY
CHASE.—The greatest excitement prevailed amongst the
inhabitants—the female portion in particular--of Quern-
(ion, on Tuesday morning, by the following occurrence.
A gentleman from the neighbourhood of Ashby-de-la-
Zouch was about to lead a young lady of that place to
the hymeneal altar, and on the happy couple and their
attendants arriving at the Baptist Chapel, where the
registrar was in attendance to perform the ceremony, it
was discovered that the gentleman had not brought a
certificate of the notice from the superintendent regis-
trar of the union in which he resided. It was now half-
past eight o'clock, and to obtain a certificate not less
than thirty miles across a hilly country was to be tra-
versed. The arrangements being of a nature which did
not permit of delay, if it could possibly be avoided, the
gentleman took postchaise to Loughborough, and pro-
curing a horse and gig at the King's Head Hotel; was
speedily skirting the lofty hills of Charnwood Forest.
The chaise awaited his return to convey him imme-
diately to Quorndon, where the greatest anxiety for the
result prevailed, and where, although the bride and her
friends did not leave the chapel, there were not a few
who predicted that he would not arrive in time for the
ceremony to be performed that day. At a quarter-past
eleven o'clock, however, all doubts were dispelled by the
bridegroom entering the chapel with the important docu-
ment ; having been only two hours and three-quarters
performing the jcurney.—Nottinghamshire Guardian.
The Orleanais states that on Friday last the sparks
from a locomotive, drawing waggons laden with sand, on
the Orleans and Tierzon Railroad, set fire to the wood
at no less than six places on the line. In one place a
wood of young fir-trees extending over nearly five acres
was entirely destroyed.

A FREE SECEDER.—The Rev. John Macnaughtan,
a Free Minister in Paisley, thus expressed himself, at a
public meeting in that town:—" I say, for one, that I am
prepared, whenever I may be called on to join in the
warfare, to sweep the Establishment from off the face of
the earth."—Glusgow Paper.
THE NEWMARKET AND CIIESTERFORD R A ILWAY.—
The "first sod" was raised on Tuesday at Dnllingham,
in the presence of Lord George Manners and several
other directors, and %large assemblage of the inhabitants
of Newmarket. The line, which is to be oompleted by
the autumn of 1847, has been leased for 999 years to the
Eastern Counties Company, at a guaranteed 5 per cent.
on the capital, and a share of all surplus profits of the
united lines, less 2 per cent.

REVIEW of the BRITISH CORN

TRADE.

The great rise which h:6s taken place in the value of
wheat during the last two months has been a strong in-
ducement to farmers to bring forward supplies ; and
the deliveries from the growers have, within the last
few weeks, been on a more liberd scale than is usual
so shortly after harvest. Various circumstances have
combined to lead to this result ; the very early
period at which the crop was secured, and
the excellent condition in which the greater
part of the wheat was carried admitted of its being
thrashed without its going through the ordinary pro-
cess of hardening in the stack. The grain was, in fact,
in as fit a state for market immediately after it was
carted as in common years it is at Christmas ; and it
was capable of being ground with a very small ad-
mixture of old. At the same time the fineness of
the quality caused the new to bring higher terms
than were obtainable for the growth of last year,
and the former was therefore sold in preference to the
latter. Nothing can in our opinion afford a stronger
proof of the healthy state of the trade than the fact that
pi ices have steadily advanced in the face of such large
supplies as have recently been poured into many of the
markets in the agricultural districts. In considering the
probable future range of quotations, this must not be lost
sight of ; and it must be borne in mind that a material
falling off in the deliveries from the growers must be ex-
pected so soon as the preparation of the soil for autumn
sowing shall have been fairly commenced. It is true that
the millers are now tolerably well stocked; still there ap-
pears little chance of any permanent re-action taking place
in quotations when once the supplies from the farmers de-
crease. At present there is no prospect of arrivals of
consequence from abroad, and holders of the foreign
wheat in granary at the different maritime ports are not
' likely to become more anxious to realise, now when they
are sure of having less competition; and we are,
therefore, inclined to believe that the upward move-
ment will receive no serious check. That the produce
of potatoes of the United Kingdom will prove miserably
deficient is now regarded as a certainty; and less is
consequently said about the matter than was the
case when some degree of doubt was supposed to attach
to the subject. The failure of this article of food fully
warrants the rise which has already taken place in the
value of wheat, and affords sufficient reason to calculate
on a further enhancement later in the year ; hence we
feel no surprise at the firm tone which the trade has
maintained at all the leading markets. The inclination
to purchase has rather increased of late than diminished,
and higher prices have been obtained towards the close
than were realised in the early part of the week.
It appears from our Scotch and Irish letters that the
potato disease is likely to prove even more serious in
those countries than in England. The extra consump-
tion of flour and meal which must take place, in conse-
quence of the loss of so great a proportion of the cus-
tomary food of a large class of the population, will
unquestionably diminish the shipments of wheat and oats
to the English markets, and we must, therefore, reckon
on much smaller receipts of Scotch and Irish produce
than in ordinary years.
A considerable proportion of the 10,000 qrs. of wheat
reported as received during the week got up previous to
Monday's market, but not in time to be included in the
list of arrivals then published; the actual supply coast-
' wise into London has been only moderate since then.
The quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land-carriage
samples from the homecounties has meanwhile been small;
and as the demand has been tolerably active, prices have
tended upwards. The few parcels offering on the Essex
and Kent stands on Wednesday were held above pre-
vious prices, and though no quotable advance was estab-
lished, good qualities could scarcely be brought on as
easy terms as in the commencement of the week. On
Friday factors displayed increased firmness, and needy
buyers were under the necessity of paying the prices
demanded, which were in most instances Is. to 2s.
per quarter above those current on Monday. The
averages are now beginning to exhibit the effect of the
late rise ; and the aggregate return for the kingdom
having advanced on Thursday last to 48s. 2d., the duty
receded to 9s. per quarter. Next week it will probably
fall another step, and before the end of November the
duty is likely to be at the minimum. There was not
much doiug in foreign free wheat in the commence-
ment of the week ; latterly, however, more inclination
to purchase has been shown. Several parcels changed
hands on Wednesday at rates not previously obtain-
, able, and the business done on Friday was at an en-
hancemement of fully Is. per quarter. Wheat in bond
is very scarce, the shipments to France having greatly
reduced the stock in warehouse; the certainty of the duty
receding to 4s. per qr. in a short space of time has caused
holders of the little under lock to raise their pretensions,
and the prices asked for bonded have been within 4s.
per qr. of what similar qualities would bring free, By
the official return just published it appears that there
were, on the sth instant, only 47,626 qrs. under lock in
the United Kingdom, of which 14,512 qrs. were held in
London.

THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
We have had several arrivals from America this
week by packet-ships, the latest bringing New York
advices of the Ist of September. The start in
the value of wheat hero was not then known
there, still prices of flour had rather tended upwards
in conseluence of a falling off in the supplies.
Fair qualities of Western Canal were then held at
4d. 12ie. per brl., and there were no sellers of prime
Genessee wheat below 90c. per bushel. At Philadel-
phia, on the 21st ult., flour was rather dull of sale, and
fair fresh-ground qualities were then obtainable at
3d. 874 c. to 4d. per brl. Old red wheat was then held
at 80c. to 82c., and new at 70c. to 75c. per bushel. From
Baltimore we have also accounts of the 31st of August.
Howard-street flour was then freely offered at 3d. 87ic.
to 3d. 90c. per brl., with but few takers. Wheat had
come freely to hand, and prime parcels of red had been
sold at 78c. to 80c. per bushel.

By our advices from the north of Europe we learn that
great excitement had been casued by the advance in the
value of wheat in the. English markets. From Ds.ntzic we
have letters of the 19th of September, which inform us that
about 730 lasts of wheat had changed hands there during
the week, consisting mostly of secondary and ordinary
qualities. For really fine high-mixed parcels extrava-
gantly high terms had been asked, say 535. to 555. per
qr. ; but fine mixed, of 601bs. to 611b5., had been sold at
50a. to 50s. 6d., and ordinary mixed, weighing 591bs. per
bushel, at 475. per qr. free on board. The only articles
in which any business bad been done, besides wheat,
had been rye and peas ; the former had found buyers
at 395., and the latter at 40s. per qr. The wheat harvest
is generally reported to have yielded well in Upper, but
indifferently in Lower Poland. The quality of the
Upper Polish wheat is described as very fine, and the
weight per bushel unusually heavy.
The reports from Rostock relative to the result of the
wheat harvest are not favourable : the colour of the
new wheat is said to be good, but the weight light, say
59Ibs. per bushel. No supplies had yet been brought
forward, nor was it expected that the farmers would
bring forward any quantity till the end of October.
Stocks of old wheat were, we are informed, nearly ex•
hausted, and very little business had, consequently,
been done.
At Stettin, on the 19th inst., holders hardly knew what
prices to ask, and 50s. per qr., free on board, had actually
been paid at that port for a parcel of old Uckersnark. The
high pretensions of sellers had of course checked business,
and but few bargains had been closed during the week.
Fair supplies of barley had come to hand, and for fine
malting qualities 30s. per qr. had been realised. Vessels
were then offering to load wheat to the east coast of Great
Britain at 2s. to 2s. 3d., to the British Channel at 2s. 9d.,
to the west coast at 35., and to the east coast of Ireland
at 3s. 3d. per qr.
From Hamburg we learn that comparatively little
business has been done in wheat since the previous post-
day, in consequence of the very high terms asked. New
red Marks of 601bs. weight had, however, been sold at
50s. 9d.; and for 621 b. parcels 535. per quarter free on
board had been obtained. There had been few offers
from outports, and no contracts had been closed. Barley
to bo shipped from Danish ports had, on the other hand,
met with a good deal of attention, at enhanced rates, as
much as 255. to 265. per qr. having been paid for good
heavy qualities.
In the southern countries of Europe, wheat is even
higher than at Baltic ports; and it is quite evident that
no supplies of consequence can reach us from the east-
ward of Gibraltar.

A letter from Odessa, of the 11th Sept., informs us
that upwards of 20,000 chests wheat had been brought
there on Italian and Greek account; and that equal to
31s. per qr., free on board, had been paid for the best
qualities.—Mark-lane Express.

COURT OF ALDERMEN,
On Tuesday, after the Lord Mayor and Aldermen re-
turned from the hustings, after the commencement of
the proceedings of the Common Hall on the election for
the Mayoralty, a Court of Aldermen was held.
THE NEW MAYORALTY.
The Sheriffs appeared at the bar to announce to the
Court that the Livery had returned to that Court Alder-
man Thomas Wood and Alderman Sir George Carroll
as fit and proper persons to fill the office of Lord Mayor
of the City of London, and that a poll had been de-
manded on the part of Alderman Hooper.
Some conversation took place between the members of
the Court, which was very numerously attended, on the
necessity of demanding a poll on the parts of Aldermen
Wood and Sir George Carroll.
Alderman HOOPER begged to be allowed to state that
his name had been proposed at the election without his
knowledge or concurrence. It seemed that the gentleman
who demanded the poll for him had a right to exercise
his privilege as a Liveryman in that way, and that the
individual whose name was used had no option—either
acquiescence or rejection. All he could say was, that
while he looked forward with pleasure to the honour of
filling the high office of chief magistrate in due course,
he had by no means any wish to anticipate the time by
a single hour.
Alderman WOOD assured the Court that it was very
far from his wish to go the poll. He would not have
demanded a poll, whatever might have been the result of
the show of hands. The observations which had passed
in the Court on the preceding day, as to the propriety of
postponing his candidateship for the office until next year,
had considerable weight with him, inasmuch as they
manifested the intention of the Court, however favour-
ably the Livery might think proper to decide respecting
his claims. He again declared that he by no means
wished to go to the poll, and he regretted very much
that any step had been taken to render that course
necessary.
Some of the members hoped that means could be
adopted to prevent the inconvenient and expensive alter-
native; but it was stated officially, that the poll having
been regularly demanded, it must proceed.
The matter of the mayoralty having been disposed of,
several subjects came before the Court for discussion.
In the first place, Alderman HUMPHERY replied to some
animadversions of the Morning Chronicle on his magis-
terial conduct in an affiliation case at Guildhall, and
denied that there was the least ground for the charge of
levity which had been made against him.
On the motion of Sir PETER LAURIE, Sir C. S. Hunter,
the father of the City, was excused future attendance
upon the several rotas comprehending the laborious
duties of the office of Alderman, and there was a unani-
mous expression of the wish of the Court to have the
advice and instruction of the worthy and highly re-
spected Baronet upon all important occasions connected
with their duties.

THE LORD MAYOR'S VISIT TO OXFORD.
The next matter that came before the Court was the
recent visit of the Lord Mayor to Oxford, and the ques-
tion of payment for the excursion.
Alderman %LSO/v. moved, that the Chamberlain be
instructed to pay to Mr. Saunders, the water bailiff, the
sum of 6231. ss. 9d., for the liquidation of the expenses,
for the view of the western district of the river Thames,
taken by the Lord Mayor.
Sir P. LAURIE objected to the motion, and thought
the Chamberlain ought not to pay the amount after the
opinions expressed by the Common Council.
Alderman HUMPHKRY moved an amendment, to the
effect that each gentleman who accompanied the expe-
dition beyond Staines should pay his own share of the
expenses incurred beyond that boundary of the civic
jurisdiction.

Sir P. LAURIE seconded the amendment.
Alderman COPELAND spoke strongly against the
amendment, and
The LORD MAYOR decided that it could not be put,
inasmuch as the member would not compel each other
to pay their share of the expenses, and the original ques-
tion was carried by a majority of 4 to 1.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
George Moorcombe was brought before the Lord Mayor
and Alderman Farebrother, in the custody of John For-
rester, the officer, charged with having forged a letter of
character in the name of Mr. Verschoyle, for the pur-
pose of imposing upon Sir J. W. Hogg, the chairman of
the East India Company.
Sir J. W. Hogg said, that on the 21st of September
the prisoner applied to him at the East India House for
the situation of lady's footman in his family, and stated
that he had recently
quitted the service of Mr. Robert
Verschoyle, who would give him a good character ; that
Mr. Verschoyle was at Brighton, and had desired that
any letter upon the
subject of character should be ad-
dressed to him at the post-office there. The witness
wrote accordingly to the gentleman, touching the charac-
ter of the prisoner, and received the following answer:—
" Sir,—ln answer to your inquiries respecting George
Moorcombe, I beg to say he lived in my establishment
as lady's footman for fifteen months ; during that period
I always found him sober, honest, willing, and obliging,
particularly quiet, and attentive in waiting at table, and
also attends a carriage very well. George Moorcombe
left me at his own request, and I can with confidence say
ho is a Devonshire man.
" Trusting I have satisfactorily answered all your in-
quiries respecting George Moorcombe, never having any
fault to find with him,---I remain, Sir, yours obediently,
" "Brighton, Sept 22, 184 G." R. VERSCHOYLE.
Having suspected from the style of the epistle that
Mr. Verschoyle had had nothing to do with the com-
position, witness caused inquiry to be made at the
town residence of Mr. Verschoyle, who, he learned, was
not at Brighton, and from whom ho received the follow-
ing information :

" Maidenhead, Sept. 25.
" Dear Sir,—Prior to your letter of this day, I have
not had any thing from you, and, therefore, the letter
you received is a forgery, I have not been in Brighton
this year.

" A man of the name of George Moorcombe did live
with me as footman for two or three months, when he
was dismissed. I am very glad that your suspicions
were aroused, and that you escaped having him in your
establishment.—Yours, very faithfully,
" Sir J. W. Hogg." " ROBERT VERSCHOYLE.

' A servant in the establishment of Mr. Verschoyle
proved that the note addressed to Sir J. W. Hogg
from Brighton was not in his master's handwriting.
The LORD MAYOR and Alderman FAREDROTHER con-
victed the prisoner, and sentenced him to imprisonment
and hard labour for three calendar months.
MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
On Tuesday Honors Murphy, a young Irish woman,
complained to Mr. Hardwick that her mistress had
opened her box and had taken 71. from a sum of 171.,
her savings acquired by honest labour in service. Her
mistress had also dismissed her, and had refused to ac-
count to her for the money thus illegally abstracted.
Mr. Hardwick desired a constable to go with the girl to
her mistress to see that she was righted, and, in case the
mistress would not restore the money, to require her
attendance to give an explanation at this Court.
Yesterday the parties were in attendance, and the
complaint was gone into.
Honore Murphy said she had been in the employ of
James Morehouse, dairyman, 25, Lisle-street, for about a
year and a half. It was her business to deliver milk to
the customers, and to pay over to her master or mistress
all moneys received by her from the customers. A few
days ago her mistress charged her with dishonesty, and
insisted on seeing the contents of her box. Her box
was opened, and out of a sum of 171. her mistress took
61. 165., under pretence of the money having been stolen
from her.
Mr. Edwin, who attended for the defendant, said
he would at once admit that his client had taken the
money, and in so doing had acted indiscreetly. To
show the grounds on which the money had been
detained, it would be necessary to state how the
grounds of suspicion against the complainant arose.
The complainant, about a year and a half ago, was en-
gaged as servant to deliver milk, at the weekly wages
of 3s. 6d., and her board and lodging. At that period
she had just come from Ireland, and was without money
or decent clothes. Three or four months ago her mis-
tress, in the belief of the young woman's industry and
honesty, raised her wages to 4s. a week without solicita.
tion. Her mistress, however, for months past had found
her money and her takings very unaccountably de-
crease; indeed, from not being able to make the re-
ceipts cover the expenditure, although a large and a
profitable business was apparently being carried on, it
was feared that ruin would ensue. Suspicion was raised
against the complainant on Friday last, in consequence
of one of the family hearing a considerable quantity of
copper money poured by the complainant into her box
as soon as she came in from serving the customers.
Mrs. Morehouse insisted on searching the complainant's
box in the presence of a police-constable. About 171. in
money was found, and as the money was principally in
shillings and fourpenny-pieces and copper, it was at
once conjectured it had been stolen from the business.
The complainant, who bad supplied herself with an ex-
cellent stock of clothes, was required to account for the
money she had expended in this way. She said she had
laid out about 41. of her wages, and that she had re-
ceived about 141. for her year and a half's wages. Her
mistress then said she would allow her to retain 101. out
of the money found in her box, and would take the ba-
lance, as a strong presumption existed that it had been
dishonestly acquired.
Mr. HARDWICK was of opinion that the money taken
from the complainant could not be legally withheld, and
therefore he must recommend the mistress to give it up.
Mr. Edwin said his client was perfectly ready to do
so, but as he was about to offer evidence to show that
the money had been embezzled from her master, he
hoped the magistrate would allow the officer to hold it
until the charges against the girl were brought forward.
The girl said all the money found in her box was her
savings from the various places in which she had lived.
The complainant was then removed from the witness
box to the bar.
Charlotte Morehouse was then called—She said, after
the discovery of the money in the prisoner's box, she
went round to the customers, and found that the prisoner
had been in the habit of supplying some ready-money
customers and not accounting for the money.
In reply to questions from Mr. HARDWICX, this wit-
ness said, the servants who took out the milk did not re-
ceive a stated quantity. They took out as much as they
chose, and what they brought back was not measured.
This plan was adopted to prevent the customers from
being cheated by the servants lowering their milk with
water. The prisoner said, she had paid her mistress the
moneys stated to have been embezzled.—Remanded till
Saturday.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A well-dressed middle-aged man, named James
Emery Borth, was placed at the bar before Mr. Brough_
ton, charged with having unlawfully trespassed upon the
line of the Eastern Counties Railway at Shoreditch, and
placed his life in imminent danger.
Mr. Henry Grimshaw, the station-master, stated that
while on duty upon the platform at the terminus, between
3 and 9 o'clock on the preceding evening, just after the
arrival of the Ipswich train, he observed the prisoner
running along upon all-fours underneath the bodies of
the carriages, and immediately ordered one of the com-
pany's servants to remove him. On being cautioned as
to the perilous position in which he had placed himself,
and demanding the cause of his so acting, the prisoner
replied that he had invented a plan for working the
trains upon a far superior system to that at present
adopted, and was waiting for the arrival of two friends,
whom he expected by the next train, to submit it to the
directors. As this was regarded as only an excuse for
his reckless conduct, he was allowed at that time to de-
part; but in the course of a quarter of an hour after-
wards, just as the train was moving off the rails he
was again discovered opening the doors of several
first-class carriages, and but fur the instant inter-
position of one of the officers, he must have been swept
beneath the train, and his life sacrificed. On this occa-
sion the prisoner said that he was in momentary ex-
pectation of receiving a communication by the electric
telegraph of a robbery lately committed at Colchester,
in which he was suspected to be implicated; and, as he
was evidently labouring under the greatest apprehension
and terror, he was given into custody.
Sergeant Coleman informed the magistrate, that after
the prisoner had been conveyed to the police-station his
manner and language were so wild and violent as to leave
little doubt of his insanity, and as it was impossible to
ascertain anything from him that could be relied upon,
his person was searched to endeavour to discover some
clue to his relatives, and a packet of letters found in his
pocket, from one of which it appeared that he had
formerly been in the service of an ironmonger named
Shave, in the High-street, Braintree, and from several
others, which were couched in terms of the warmest
affection, that he had been for some time past paying
his addresses to a young woman in the establishment of
a gentleman residing at Whip's Cross, Walthatnstow.
On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner,
who was perfectly tranquil, but still exhibited symptoms
of an absence of self-control, said he was aware he had
been frequently suffering from attacks of mental de-
rangement, and he could only account for the extraor-
ordinary and dangerous conduct imputed to him by sup-
posing that he must have been labouring under the
influence of one of these afflictions upon this occasion,
as the reasons he had given to the first witness for his
being in the position in which he was detected were
nearly without foundation.
Mr. BROUGHTON said be considered it would be wholly
unsafe to entrust the prisoner with his liberty in the
present state of his mind, and he should therefore order
him to be committed to prison for a week, to afford the
officers an opportunity of procuring the attendance in
town of some of his relations, who would be answerable
fur his future security.

THAMES.
William Harrison, a young man, who was stated to be
a solicitor's clerk, and who, as far as his exterior appear-
ance went, appeared to be in good circumstances, was
brought before Mr. Ballantine charged with assaulting a
police-constable named Thomas Barnes, No.BB H, in the
execution of his duty.
The policeman stated that at a late hour on Tuesday
night he was removing some disorderly prostitutes, and
the prisoner interfered with him, and said they were
respectable married women, and and he should not take
them. He begged him to desist and go away, on which
the prisoner struck him severely on the breast, and said
if he dared to molest the women he would do fur him.
His conduct was extremely violent, and he was com-
pelled to take him into custody. The prisoner was in
a state of intoxication at the time.
The prisoner,jwho was greatly agitated, said he was
respectably connected, and only came from the country
on Tuesday, and drank more than he ought to have
done. He was extremely sorry for what he had done,
and he would be the last man to interfere with the police
if he was sober. He was subject to fits, and had been
attacked with several that morning, in consequence of
his imprisonment.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he did not care for the prisoner's
sorrow. It came too late. His feeling was, if the police
were not protected from assaults like these, no respect-
able man would join the force. Ho would protect the
police when they did right, but when they did wrong he
would not save them from the consequences. He re-
gretted that the prisoner was subject to infirmities, but
that must not save him, and he sentenced him to seven
days' imprisonment in the House of Correction.
The prisoner said, if the sentence was carried into
effect, he should be ruined, for his employer had parti-
cular occasion for his services, and expected him to be at
his business that morning. He begged of the magistrate
to recollect he was subject to fits.
Mr. BALLANTINE would not alter his sentence, and.
said the surgeon of the House of Correction would take
care of him.
The prisoner immediately fell down in a fit, and was
carried away by a gaoler and a police-constable. It was
some time before ho was recovered, and he continued
very ill for an hour afterwards. The magistrate gave
some directions to the gaoler concerning him. About
two hours afterwards Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, made an
application to Mr. Ballantine on the prisoner's behalf,
and said he was labouring under severe illness. In this
case he did not mean to deny that the prisoner was a fit
subject of punishment, but he thought the application of
the summumjus would be summa injuria. The young
man was a solicitor's clerk, who had never offended be-
fore, and was convicted of an assault upon a policeman,
not under circumstances of aggravation, and he had ex-
pressed the utmost contrition. The prisoner was in a
very unsound state of health, and subject to hysterical
fits, and had been seized with one as he was leaving the
dock. An imprisonment would be very detrimental to
the health of the young man, and as the assault did not
arise from any ill-feeling, and as no mischief was done,
he did hope that a fine would be substituted for the im-
prisonment.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he was very painfully circum-
stanced in this case. He saw the young man fall directly
after he had inflicted his sentence, and he felt great pain
at his situation, but he had come to a conclusion upon
his offence before that; he had come to as mild a deter-
mination as possible under the circumstances, and after
that ho found ho was ill. It was very afflicting, hut he
could not help it. The judges who tried cases iof more
importance very frequently saw similar instances of
illness, and very painful sights in court, but he was

not aware they ever altered their sentences in con-
sequence.
Mr. Pelham—The unfortunate young man is in a
state of great nervous excitability; perhaps that, sir,
would induce you to relax in your determination. I make
this application at the request of his friends, who are
highly respectable, and will pay any fine you may think
proper to inflict.

- kr. BALLANTINE was acquainted with the prisoner's
illness, and had given directions to Roche, the gaoler,
about it. He had no right to fine the young man after
he had sentenced him to imprisonment, and the respec-
tability or poverty of his friends would make no im-
pression upon him in the slightest degree. He had come
to a certain conclusion upon the case and he had no right
to alter it.
Mr. Pelham quite agreed with the magistrate, that
the same justice should be meeted out to rich and poor.
The public press at the present time were very properly
demanding an equalisation of punishments, and an im-
mense deal of good had been effected, but he did not
think any portion of the world could possibly object to
the magistrate relaxing the severity of the law in a case
like this. He knew the public press did look upon those
cases with considerable jealousy, and that commutations
of offences like this were upon the whole objectionable,
but he hoped the magistrate would temper justice with
mercy._

BALLANTINE hoped that he had done so. The
public press said and did what it liked, but he was never
influenced either by its censure or its praise. All men
liked praise better than censure, and he was not such a
slave to his own opinion as to treat censure with indif-
ference ; but he neither courted nor feared the press in
i eference to anything he did while he was doing his
duty. He was not insensible to the valuable agency of
the press, but he did his duty, as he trusted, honestly
and fearlessly, without any regard to ulterior consi-
derations.
Mr. Pelham was quite satisfied no magistrate acted
more independently than the one he had the honour, of
addressing, or more to the public satisfaction ; azsll `o
public functionary had less to fear from public opinickne
Mr. BALLANTINE—I have done with the case, and hope
I shall hear no more of it. I should be glad if I could
relieve this young man, but I cannot. It is due to the
public as well as to the police that the constables should
be protected. Nothing has been so painful to me as the
condition of the young man whose cause you advocate.
I have thought of it, and nothing else since, but I won't
allow my feelings to interfere with my duty, and I will
not alter the sentence.

MATRIMONIAL HoAx.—A matrimonial hoax has,
it appears, been played off at Stony Stratford, where
some mischief-loving people replied to an advertisement
which appeared in a Sunday paper, and a long corres-
pondence, induced the wife and fortune-hunting adver-
tiser to parade himself in the town in the hope of meeting
his supposed lady-correspondent. A letter from the
neighbourhood thus describes the denouement :—" Some-
what nervous did the principals in the affair feel when,
about nine o'clock, they saw standing at the hall door of
the hotel their correspondent personated by a rather
gigantic figure, at least six feet one inch high, of very
muscular frame, and with a mien and appearance calcu-
lated to bear out a sentence in one of his letters, ' that
he never in his life submitted to an insult from a gentle-
man.' However, there he was, there they had called
him ; and they (however falsely) expressed to each
other their intense happiness at seeing him, though at a
little distance. Breakfast over, with brandy before and
after the repast, to stimulate him, the gentleman made a
circuit of the town to reconnoitre, after which the hour
being at hand, he proceeded to the place appointed for
meeting. This was on the road from the town to the
railway station, from whence, if by any fortuitous occur-
rence the lady was prevented meeting him, he was to re-
pair to the house of her milliner, where she would await
him. Having shown himself on the promenade for two
hours, during which time he was watched and passed
occasionally by the promoters of the hoax, the hero pro-
ceeded to the house of the milliner, who, not being in
the secret, of course knew nothing of any lady having
made an appointment at her house. Suspicions now
flashed upon him. He made the post-office his next call,
to inquire who had been in the habit of sending for the
letters addressed there, when the post-mistress told all
she could of the mysterious correspondence. Then the
gentleman's ire boiled over, then he betook himself to
brandy, and after that to the suspected parties, threaten-
ing the vengeance of the law, and the aid of the police,
if the writer and the letters were not given up. He was
only laughed at, although each person applied to repu-
diated the authorship of any correspondence with him.
By this time the affair was all over the town; the place
became overwarm for him; his acquaintances were too
numerous and disagreeable, and he was glad to avoid
them, which he did, by leaving by the next omnibus,
threatening that the Post-office authorities, and all par-
ties suspected, should hear of him again and speedily."
—Bedford Mercury.
LOCOMOTIVE COOKING.—One day last week a pas-
senger-train, proceeding from Preston to Kirkham, ran
through a covey of partridges, and caught one of them
lying in the cinder-box. As the train proceeded, a sa-
voury odour arose from the fowl undergoing the process
of roasting, as it lay in the cinder-box under the bars of
the engine fire. Arriving at Kirkham, the fireman
stepped down to see how the unspitted partridge was
going on, and finding that it was cooked on one side only
turned it over. On arriving at Poulton he again in-
spected the delectable prize, and found it perfectly
cooked. At Fleetwood, the engine-driver and fireman
sat down to a " sumptuous repast," consisting of the
partridge roasted in its feathers, without the least dress-
ing, and which they declare was really delicious.
AN AGREEABLE STRANGER AND THE ELECTRIC
TELEGRAPH.—A respectable gentleman of Torquay,
wishing to pay Teignrnouth a visit, accoringly took

ably surprised, on being seated, to find that be had a
most pleasant and gentlemanly companion to travel with,

mutually regretted, as otherwise luck could have pointed
out to each something new about the approaching water-
ing place. The conversation became interesting and
animated, and by the time each had told his story Teign-
mouth presented itself sooner than expected or desired.
On their arrival the train was quite ready to start, and
our Torquay friend, to prove how much he respected his
new acquaintance, actually went and saw him off; but
on returning, he having occasion for his purse, found it
was gone. He acquainted Mr. Telegraph, who told his
twin brother in Exeter, and he, on the train's arrival,
sent a policeman and had the agreeable stranger placed
in safe custody, the purse being found on hina.—Devon-

A SPEARING LARK.--We have often beard °I
speaking parrots and speaking starlings, but we haV
never before heard of such a rara ads as the bird which
" soars to heaven's gate" changing its melodious wan'
ling to the imitation of the human voice. There is
at
present, however, in the possession of Mr. Muir, hair'
dresser, liirkaldy, a lark of this description. Mr. MI
has been very successful in rearing starlings, and tbs.,
with attention and the benefit of example,
the lark has
picked up the numerous sentences used by a starling
reared by Mr. Muir. The lark will occasionally el
short in its song, and looking towards its owner, if e
gaged in conversation with a stranger, put the query'
" What do you say, sir?" to the no small astonishment
of the visitor.—File Herald.
