HAMMERSMITH.

EXTRAORDINARiaREDTL;;:::O;Saturday a young
man, shabby-genteelly dressed, about 22 years of
age, named James Jones, was brought up before Mr.
G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, on a warrant, charg-
ing him with obtaining money under false pretences.
Margaret Arsltng, a female of respectable appear-
ance, nearly 40 years of age, deposrd that on the 23d
of September last she went to the prisoner's house in
James-street, Kensington, and saw him, and told him
she had bad a little loss, and he said "I know it, it's
linen." I said " No, it's money; 275." The prisoner
said if I could afford to give 10s. be would show me
the person who took it in a glass. I told him I was
a very poor woman, and he then said if I male up
my mind to give him 10s. I was to send him a letter
in the morning and bring the 10s. in the after-
noon. The next day I went to his house and saw
him, and he asked me if I had got the 10s. I said
yes, and he told me to put the money on what I con-
sidered a funeral pall, and ordered me out of the room
He was then alone in the room, an& in two or three
minutes he called me back and asked me if I knew the
party. I said no. He had three knives in the room,one
of which he took up, and pretended to cut his hand. He
then took a glass from under the funeral pall, and,
putting a candle before it, asked me if that was the per-
son. I saw the head of a female in the glass. I told
him I could swear to nobody, and he asked me if I did
not know the -? He then said, Mr. Jones could do
no more. Mr. Jones never told a lie ; and shook me by
the hand, and said I should be sure to have my money
again the following day. I told my master all about it.
I have never had the money.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he did not
know that he was violating the law by telling fortunes.
Mr. CLIME, however, dispelled his ignorance on the
matter by sending him to prison for three months,
adding to his confinement the comfort of hard labour.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PLYHOUTII, OCT. 9.—The weather continues very
boisterous, with the wind at S.W.
Yesterday afternoon the chassemaree Marie Victoire,
belonging to Fecamp, came in here from the banks of
Newfoundland. On her first voyage she left Feoainp
March 7, and arrived at St. Peter's, Newfoundland,
May 5. She carried her cargo (fish) to Rochelle, and
on the 25th of July left again for the banks. On the
19th of September, at four o'clock in the afternoon, she
encountered a heavy gale of wind from the south west,
which swept her decks, and washed off five of her crew;
only one of whom, the mate, recovered the vessel. The
names of those lost are Louis Claud Chauvin, master,
Louis Calosse, Edouard Ficay, and Leopold Malouclin,
mariners.

The master of the French vessel Lemaire, Jejuhert
Ridon, his wife, and five hands, came here yesterday,
from Padstow. This vessel, registered 60 tons, belongs
to La Brerac, near Brest, and left Newport, Monmouth-
shire, on the 29th of September, with a cargo of iron.
On the sth of Octob•'r, in a tremendous storm, mainly
from the westward, she lost all her sails, and was
driven ashore at Point Garron, near Padstow, on the
north coast of Cornwall. Soon after quitting her she
went to pieces.
On Tuesday the cutter belonging to her Majesty's
ship America, 50, lying in the Sound, when employed
alongside, was upset in a squalL The men were all
rescued.

On Wednesday a shore boat, containing a man, a boy,
and seven women, bound from Stonehouse to her Ma-
jesty's ship Queen, 110, in the Sound, was upset when
near her Majesty's ship America, the crew of which
picked them all up. The boy is not likely to recover.
All the rest are well.
Put in this afternocn, the Greek brig Leonidas, Capt.
Dedussi, from Newcastle, hut last from this port, whence
she sailed nine days since for Genoa, with loss of sails,
spars, and rigging, companion stove in, all the dry pro-
visions spoiled, and unable to cook in the galley for the
last five days, owing to the severity of the weather.
3 o'CLocx P.m.—The Sir David Malcolm, emigration
ship, with emigrants on board, has just parted her star-
board chain-cable in the Sound. She is now riding at
her only remaining anchor in the northern part of the
merchant anchorage ground. It is low water now, an,l,
should the heavy gale blowing from the S.S.W. continue
during the rising of the tide, her position, without as-
sistance, will be one of great danger.
OuronEa 10.—The storm from the southward con-
tinues with very little abatement. No damage hag,
however, occurrei in this port.

Plymouth, came in last evening, in 22 days from Que-
bec, having left on the 17th of September. There is no
political sews from the Canadas. The inhabitants of
Quebec are actively occupied in rebuilding those parts
of their city which suffered so much by the late fires.
Freights offering.—London, 435. ; Southampton, 43a. ;
Plymouth, 41s. Exchange, 61 premium. There was an
unprecedented quantity of timber in store, and the fleet
had not arrived.

The Nestor-has experienced very heavy weather all
the passage home. Sept. 23, fell in with the barque In-
dustry, of Sligo, Captain Barrett, bound to Quebec, and
took from her Capt. W. H. Owen and an apprentice
lately belonging to the brig Martha, of and from Holy-
head. Left August 20, for Quebec. The Martha in hit.
20, went down at two in the afternoon, having been struck
by a tremendous sea, which shifted her ballast. The
remainder of the crew are on board the Industry, which
vessel in the same storm lost her maintopmast and top-
sail, main and fore trysails, both topgallant masts and
royals. On the 21st the Industry passed a large barque
of 800 tons, probably outward bound, with loss of main-
mast and fore and mizen topmasts. On the 28th of Sep-
tember the Nestor passed a large full-rigged ship, 500
or 600 tons, with all her sails blown away. On the Sth
of October, spoke the barque Hannah Robertson, lying
to, bound from Liverpool to Cadiz, all well.
The bark Spermaceti, Captain Moon, came in this
morning, leaky, from Quebec. Left 10th of October. In
lon. 31 W., lat. 47 N., saw a very large ship totally
abandoned ; in all probability the Lady Raffles, already
reported. In lat. 37 or 38;:,N., passed a brigantine be-
longing to Dartmouth in a similar condition. Shortly
after fell in with a Scotch brig, sunk to the water's
edge, and all the masts gone. Hove to, but there was no
one on board. Saw also a disabled ship belonging to St.
Andrew's, and passed several other damaged vessels.
The Sidney emigration ship Sir D. Malcolm, in the
Sound, has been supplied with a second anchor.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THREE O'CLOCK.—The wind
is gone more to the westward, and the weather has
moderated, but there is yet a very heavy sea on.
The schooner Sorciere, Cape Jausseaurand, of Guern-
sey, has just come in, in 24 days from Cephalonia, with
currants.
