secondly, that the entry in the register had been madby the clerk and not the clerg) man, before the ,
mar-
riage took place. These two objections had been argued
before the judges, who considered them of no weight,
and who were unanimously of opinion that the prisoner
had been properly convicted; and under these circum-
stances it now became his duty to pass the sentence of
the Court upon him, which was, that he be imprisoned
in the House of Correction for the county of Middlesex
for six calendar months.
THE TRAXTED ABDUCTION CASE.—In this case, in
which the Grand Jury have found two bills against Mr.
Thomas Burton Barnes, a surgeon, at Thaxted in Essex,
one, for the abduction of Miss Mary Frances Jane
a young lady under sixteen years of age ; and

en the affidavit of the attorney for Mr. Barnes, which
stated that it would be impossible that justice could be
done if the trial was forced on at the present session.
Mr. CLARKSON resisted the application, but after a
short conversation, and an intimation from the Bench
that the defendant was entitled to the delay he asked at
least upon one of the indictments, the Learned Gentle-
man said he would consent to the postponement of the
trial on both indictments, provided the defendant would
engage not to harrass as he had been doing the father
and mother of the young lady, and would also undertake
to try the case at the next session before one of the
judges.

NEW COURT
(Before the RECORDER.)
James Seymour, aged 45, who was described as a
grocer,
was indicted for stealing a clock, the property
of Mr. Holloway, clock maker, 16, John-street, Minories.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner or-
dered the clock on the 19th June of last year, it being
understood that he was to pay for it on delivery. When
delivered it was retained, and within an hour afterwards
pawned at Mr. Russell's, in the Old Kent-road, and the
duplicate being afterwards sold, the clock was never
delivered, and the present prosecution instituted.
The prisoner declaimed loudly against the tyranny of
Mr. Charles Pearson, the City Solicitor, by whom, he
said, the prosecution had been instituted.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. RYLAND, who was retained for the prosecution,
then stated that the prosecution had been instituted by
the Lord Mayor himself.
The prisoner was then sentenced to six months' im-
prisonment, with_hardlabou_r.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 18.—The Fire Queen steamer,
Master Commander Allen, was docked to-day to have
her bottom coated with Mr. Hay's composition.
The Seaflower cutter, Lieutenant Commander Warren,
was undocked to-day and taken into the Camber to refit.
The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, will be
docked to-morrow to have a leak stopped. Her First-
Lieutenant, Mr. Booth, is promoted to the rank of Com-
mander. The best certificate of this offick is merits
exists in the testimony borne to the efficient and inde-
fatigable attention to the arduous duties of his position
by his Captain, Sir James Stirling.
The following Sardinian ships-of-war sailed from
Genoa for the Adriatic sea, viz.:—
May 8.--The corvettes Acquila and Aurora.
May 9.—The steamers Tripoli and Malfatano.
By news from Genoa, under date the 11th inst., it is
reported by her Majesty's steamer Porcupine, there

A

DULTERATION or Foon.—Yesterday, at a meet-
ng of the Manchester guardians of the poor, it was de-
termined to appoint a professor of chemistry to the
union, to examine the quality of food supplied, and to
offer the appointment to Mr. C. Calvert, of the Royal
Institution. In submitting a motion to that effect, Mr.
Brooks, one of the guardians, said he bad brought the
subject forward in February, when Mr. Austin, Assistant
Poor-law Commissioner for the district, advised that
they should first obtain the sanction of the Poor-law
Commissioners, and that sanction had now been given.
It would be recollected that he had stated at the time
(and a copy of this statement he had sent to the Com-
missioners) that he had obtained samples of the food
supplied to the Manchester union, and that on a che-
mical analysis it had been found there was a mean
depreciation, by adulteration, in food of the value of
12,3581. to the extent of 2,4251. This, he repeated, was
the adulteration on articles to the amount of only
12,0001, whilst the total annual expenditure in this way
was upwards of 50,0001. per annum; and he looked to
this appointment, therefore, as one of very great import-
ance and value.

DARING ROBBERIES.—The public, and especially
visitors of the British Museum, are warned that several
impudent
very street robberies have lately been com-
mitted in broad day in that vicinity. New Oxford-street
and the west end of Great Russell-street are the parts
chiefly infested. Young rascals, with confederates
ready to receive plunder or mislead pursuers, stand at
the corners of the suspicious-looking streets that con-
nect or run into these thoroughfares. Seizing a hand-
kerchief or a watch, they turn the corner in an instant,
and are soon lost in a region which still retains its
character, notwithstanding the recent improvements.
Indeed, we are not sure that the " Rookery" in its pre-
sent condition is not a more effective arrangement for
the capture and disposal of booty than before. We can
only remind gentlemen who choose to let their property
court the public eye in a gaping coat pocket, and ladies
who persist in carrying their watches suspended from
gold chains, or pinned to their girdles, that no police
can protect them from the fingers of the spoiler. They
must either conceal their property, or keep a sharp
look out.
LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF YOUNG
FEMALES.—Yesterday a meeting of the subscribers and
others interested in promoting the objects of the above
institution, was held at their office, Moira Chambers,
Ironmonger lane, City--J. T. Barlow, Esq., in the chair.
The Secretary reported that there are now in the asy-
lum, at Tottenham, 70 young females, the eldest under
15 years of age, who are fed, clothed, religiously edu-
cated, and fitted for respectable servitude. It was
unanimously resolved that six additional of the most
urgent cases be admitted. The asylum, with sufficient
support, would afford accommodation for more than 130
its
inmat
xist es. The society has, during the twelve years of
eence, caused the suppression of above 300 noto-
rious houses of ill-fame in various parts of London, and
a prosecution is now pending against an individual who
keeps his carriage, livery servants, and country houses,
and who is the proprietor of 50 houses of an infamous
description, principally at the went end.
TIIE BRUTAL MURDERS NEAR SWANSEA.-SWAN^
SEA, TUESDAY.—Last evening the Coroner's inquiry
relative to the deaths of John Williams and Jenkins
Evans, who were brutally murdered on the night of the
7th instant, on the Loughor and Swansea Road, was
brought to a conclusion. It will be remembered that
five Irish railway navvies introduced themselves to a
" erorw bach" (a drinking bout) at the cottage of a man
named Davis. One of the navvies quarrelled with a
young man named Morgan, and blows ensued between
them. A rush was made to the road, and in the confu-
sion the deceased, John Williams, was stabbed to the
heart, and Jenkins Evans, who was coming up to inquire
what Ives the matter, received similar injury, which
caused his speedy death. The navvies, five in number,
were apprehended, and two of them were admitted to
give evidence. Thomas Martin appeared to have stab-
bed the deceased, Williams; he was seen to strike the
unfortunate deceased with a knife, and afterwards ob-
served, "I am the boy that let the wind through some
of them." Jenkins Evans was described to have re-
ceived his fatal injuries from Michael Leary. The jury
returned a verdict, in the case of John Williams, of
wilful murder against Thomas Martin as principal, and
against Michael Leary and John Norris for aiding and
abetting. In that of Jenkins Evans they found a verdict
of wilful murder against Michael Leary as principal, and
against Thomas Martin and John Norris as accessories.
They were removed in custody to take their trial at the
ensuing assizes.

AMERICAN ICE. An importation of 200 tons
weight of ice has taken place by a vessel just arrived
from St. John's, New Brunswick, Nth America. The
arrival of this parcel of American ice took place at the
port of Liverpool. There have been some arrivals of
this peculiar article of merchandise from the United
States during the present season, and also from more
than one of the northern states of Europe, but we are
not cognizant of an importation of ice on any former
occasion from this British province of North America.
THE ELECTRO-TELEGRAPHIC CONVERSER. We
learn from the Cumberland Pacquel that the electro-
t.•le;raph is being laid on the Whitehaven Junction
Railway, under the superintendence of; Mr. Little, upon
the principle of whose patent the entire apparatus is
fitting up.

CITY, QUARTER TO T"REE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
4,000 bales. American realised 3id. to &id. per lb.
The market was very quiet, and the advance of Monday
last was entirely lost. There were large arrivals. Rail-
way Shares were in ,considerable demand, at higher
prices.
The arrivals of gold from Russia appear likely to
cease, a prohibition being said to have been issued
against further exports, but there is another instalment
this week from St. Petersburg!' by the Rob Roy.
The Hamburgh mail of Tuesday has arrived, and
brings no cheering information upon the subject
of the Danish war. Great preparations were
making on both sides, and the circle of hos-
tilities bids fair speedily to embrace Sweden, and
possibly, though not so probably, Russia. The com-
merce of the Biltic is, for the nonce, quite annihilated
as far as the German States are concerned. In the
Continental letters, generally, we observe nothing of
special importance. The next Bank of France return
is looked for with considerable interest, and ere long a
fresh loan to the Government is considered inevitable.
There are some items of information in the Canada
accounts which indicate the prospect of considerable
activity ere long in some branches of trade.

AN EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENT WITN THE COTTNIT
COURTS ACT.—It may not be generally known that a
person can be summoned, by the County Courts Act, to
answer a debt from any part of England, provided the
debt was contracted in the district where the plaintiff
resides, but if the plaintiff fails to prove his case, tha
Commissioner has the power of allowing the defendant
his expenses. A case in point occurred in London on
Saturday last. Mr. J. G. Shipley, of Jermyn-strest.
ilaymarket, summoned Mr. L. T. Gaskill, of this town,
to appear before the Commissioner of the Westminster
County Court, to answer an alleged debt of 51. its. 64.,
due to the plaintiff. The defendant was bound to appear
personally, or pay the claim. Not, however, Acknow-
ledging its justness, he oid appear, and a verdict being
given In his favour, the Commissioner made an order
upon the plaintiff to pay Mr. Gaskill five guineas for hi*
expenses, which was of course reluctantly contprteti with.
