SURREY SESSIONS.
(Before THOMAS Puc KLE, Esq.)
Robert Tillett, 37, and Ann Elliot, 23, were indicted
for feloniously stealing a prayer-book, pair of razors,
and a shaving-box, at Watlingham, in the county of
Surrey, the property of Walter Satin, er.
Prosecutor said that he was a labourer, and on the
night of the 3d of August he slept at the Red Lion,
public-house, at Watlingham, in which place the pri-
soners also slept. On the following morning the prisoners
left the house very early, and when lye arose from his
brd he mi-sad his bundle, containing the articles enume-
rated in the bundle. lie instantly gave information to
the police, and with a constable went in search of the
prisoners, who he discovered at a public-house at Bottle-
hill, in the county of Surrey. They were then informed
of the robbery, but denied all knowledge of it, hut on
being searched the prayer-book n-as found in the male
prisoner's pocket, and the other articles found in his
bundle. When asked to account for the possession
of the property the male prisoner said that the
prayer- book belonged to the female, it haling
been given to her by her- mother on her death-
bed. As for the razors and other property, they had
been in his possession many months. He (the prosecutor)
however, identified the property, and gave the prisoners
into custody.
A police-constable of the P division produced the pro-
perty, and confirmed the latter part of the prosecutor's
statement.

On being called upon for their defence, the male pri-
soner asserted that he purchased the razors and box of
a man in January last, and the female, said that the
prayer-box was given to her by her mother. They denied
most strenuously the robbery.
The CHAIRMAN summed up the case to the jury, who
returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended
the female to mercy. The female was sentu•nced to four-
teen days' solitary confinement, and the male prisoner
to six months hard labour.
William Martin, aged 19, pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with stealing a Meershaum pipe, the
property of Frank Fordham, at'Newington.
It app,•ared that on the evening of the 11th instant he
entered the prosecutor's shop, and stole the pipe in ques-
tion off a barrel near the door. Ile was pursued, and
taken into custody.
In his defence he said that he was in great distress
when he committed the offence.
The sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned
in the House of Correction three months.
Edward Hunt, aged 18, pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with stealing a pair of shoes and
stockings from a lodging-house in the Mint, Southwark,
the property of John Jones, a fellow-lodger.
The CHAIRMAN said that the offence was of a serious
nature, that of robbing a man while in the same house;
he should therefore sentence him to six months' impri-
sonment with hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
Elizabeth Pollard, a lodger in a house in St. Mary Axe,
which is let out in tenements, was brought before Alder-
man Wilson, charged with having acted in violation of
the 41st clause of the 2d and 3d of Victoria, cap. 71, by
keeping part of the house in which she so resided in a
filthy and unwholesome condition.
The owner cf the house had, it appeared, found it ne-
cessary, in consequence of the tenant's disinclination to
pay, and her very disagreeable domestic habits, to make
importunate demands upon her for rent, as the only
practicable mode of getting rid of her altogether. Irri-
tated by such a course of proceeding, she was determine d
to retaliate the annoyance upon all the other lodgers, in
the most intolerable way, in order to compel them to
leave the house in which she was so unwelcome a
resident. The landing place and stairs near her r.,om
bore testimony to her skill is violating the particular
clause, and the common sewer was compared to them
with decid, d advantage to the latter. In the fear that
the health of the rest of the inhabitants would he injured
it the defendant were allowed to indulge her whim, it
had been thought necessary to try what the Police Act
would do with such an offender.
The defendant did not deny the accuracy of the
charge, but said that the misunderstanding arose from a
dispute as to the amount of the rent due to the landlord,
whom she did not consider herself b. and to accommo-
date by any nice attention to any part of his house.
The landlord said that, as the Alderman might
readily suppose, the rent was no object, in comparison
with the removal of the parent of such a nuisance, and
he would if she forthwith departed forgive nut only the
rcpt, but all that had hitherto been done.
The defendant, upon the recommendation of the
Alderman, acceded to the proposition of the landlord,
and promised to deliver up her tenement in a clean and
wholesome condition.
The case led to some observations from Alderman
Wilson, upon the probable efficacy of a new Act of Par-
liament, if acted upon vigorously by the authorities im-
powered by it. The police act referred to, Alderman
W•lson said appeared to him to be much too
tardy in its operation. He could not help
av iling himself of the opportunity of expres-
sing his gratification at the very salutary and im-
portant Act, which had been passed at the close of the
last session of Parliament, intitled, " An Act for the
more speedy removal of certain nuisances," and which,
although a first and experimental carrying out of the
principles and recernmendations of Mr. Chadwick's in-
valuable sanatory report, was calculated to effect vast
benefit t) the community. It was his full determina-
tion to use his best exertions to put in motion the ma-
chinery afforded by the Act referred to in every loca-
lity where he possessed any influence or interest, and
he was confident that when the facilities, which the
Act furnished towards the removal of the pestiferous
nuisances, which were so abundant in the metropolis,
and in other parts of the country. became known
the intelligence and public spirit of all classes would be
combined to carry out the excellent objects of that Act
of Parliament. From the first section of the Act, it ap-
peared that it was competent for the town council of any
corporate town, or for the commissioners of police, or
the trustees for the drainage, paving, or cleansing of
any town, or in case there should be no such town
council, commissioners, or trustees of any borough, city,
or place, then that it shall be lawful for the guardians of
the poor, upon receiving a certificate in writing from
two duly qualified medical practitioners of the filthy and
unwholesome condition of any dwelling-house or other
building, or of the accumulation of any offensive or
noxious matter, or of the existence of any foul or offen-
sive drain, privy, or cesspool, to bring a complaint before
two justices, who shall summon the owner oroccupier, and
unless sufficientcause shall beshown to thecontrary,shall
forthwith make an order in writing for the removal or
abatement of the nuisance in the certificate described.
There was also a provision in the Act, giving the magi-
strates power to excuse an occupier on the ground of
poverty, and to defray the consequent necessary expenses
of the removal of nuisances out of the poor rates. In
making such valuable enactments the Legislature had
done its duty in a manner to be most sensibly felt. It
only remained, therefore, for the public bodies—the
Town Councils, the Commissioners for Paving, &c., and
the guardians of the poor—to do theirs. The Act was
for a limited definite period, i. e. until the Ist of August,
1847, and the end of the then next session of Parlia-
ment ; but there was no doubt that if found to work well
its provisions would be enlarged and rendered per-
manent.

INSECURITY OF POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS.—
A. corre,pendence has taken place between a gentleman
in S:coiland and the public authorities on the insecurity
of post-office money-orders, the substance of which
may be interesting to our readers. The gentleman
referred to having had occasion for some post-office
money-orders, was struck with the apparent mystery of
the forms, and at the same time with the fact that this
mystery gave no security whatever against fraud. The
tia} stery consists in the order for payment bearing ne
name, but that it is to be paid to the person named
in a separate letter from the post-office people, in which
also is the name of the sender. Now, supposing a per-
son to steal a letter containing a money-order, he finds
the name of the person who is to receive the money on
the back, and that of the sender in the letter. Ile has,
therefore, only to write the name of the receiver, and
give the name of the sender, and the money is paid to
him. Indeed, the officials at the window are not very
particular in inquiring whether they pay to the right
party or not. To render money orders secure, the gen-
tleman prepared certain simple forms, and submitted
them to the post-office authorities at Edinburgh, prepa-
ratory to replying to letters from the Treasury and the
General Post-office. These authorities frankly admitted
the defect of the existing forms, and the efficacy of the
form proposed; but they stated, verbally, some difficulties
in the way of their adoption, to remove which seemed to
the gentleman referred to, quite easy. In order, how-
ever, to enable him clearly to show how the difficulties
could be removed, he requested a statement of them in
writing. The answer to this request was neither a coin-
pliance nor a refusal, but an advice to apply to the Lon•
don authorities. This evasion is characteristieo
of e.
But until those who have the management of post-office
c .ncerns show a little more desire for improvement in a
most important department, the public are not one whit
more secured against fraud by a post-office order as it is,
that if the names of the sender and receiver were
written on the order at full length. The make-believe
of the authorities may be said to be a mere deception—
pr&essing to give security where none is given. Their
refusal to listen to any improvement not suggested by
some of themselves will of course surprise no one.
AN ELEPHANT'S DOINGS.—We learn by a gentle-
man of the city, who was at Lockport on Saturday, that
at noon of that day an elephant belonging to a mena-
gerie exhibiting there, wanted out of his tent toward a
span of horses attached to a waggon some twenty rods
off. The horses took fright as the huge beast ap-
proached them, breke loose, and ran a few rods to an
angle of a fence ; the elephant followed, capsized the
waggon, and threw the horses some two rods over the
fence. One of the horses rose with seyt.ral broken ribs,
and managed to escape his avitilant, which fell upon the
other with his tusks, Ore out his entrails, and continued
to toss him along the knee sane ten reds or more. At
this tint, the keeper, who was at dinner when the
elephant esnprd from the tent, came up, and called the
animal by name. The elephant immediately obeyed the
word, and followed the keeper to an orchard about a
hundred rods off, where he was secured by strong chains
made fast to the trunk of a full-grown tree. Just as
,iir inform;nt left in the afternoon. he heard that the
elephant had uprooted the tree to which he was fastened,
-nd had injured a man ; but learned no particulars.
The rage of the elephant,. it is said, was caused by some
t•,bacco concealed in the food that some of the bystanders
offered to him. People cannot be too cautious how they
trifle in such s way with att elephant,---Buffalo Con.

GUILDHALL.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—James ling, a labouring man,
about the middle age and blind of an eye, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with at-
tempting to commit suicide by hanging himself. It
appeared from the statements or several witnesses that
about twelve o'clock last night the daughter of the pri-
soner ran into a coffee-shop in Buckley-court,
Shoe-lane, and gave an alarm that her father,
whose lodgings were in the same court, had cut his
throat. The keeper of the coffee-shop (Mr. Thomas
Perry), accompanied by one of his lodgers, hastened
immediately with the child to the spot, and found the
pri-oner, not, indeed, with his throat cut, but with a
handkerchief tied round his neck, with the proper run-
ning knot for strangulation by suspension, and other
handkerchiefs added, to give it the necessary length.
He was in the act of finally adjusting this halter
when Mr. Perry interfered. A policeman arrived
soon afterwards, and the prisoner was given into custody.
When called on by the magistrate to explain his con-
duct, he said that ho had for some time been saving a
little money to provide for the expenses of his wife's
confinement, which was expected shortly to take place,
but that unfortunately he got drunk last night abd was
robbed of all his money, end in consequence had deter-
mined to make away with himself. Be was now sorry
for the attempt upon his life.
Mr. Alderman GIBBS desired him to be taken care of
until Friday, to which day he remanded him.
James Baxter, a bookbinder, in Bridgewater-square,
was charged by police-constable No.. 142 (City) with
stabbing his (the prisoner's) wife in twop

were of plain grounds, with figured borders, woven
separately and sewed on. For the last ten or twelve
years there have been greater diversities of style in the
goods produced, accompanied by the introduction of
improved facilities fcr their manufacture. Our manu-
facturers and pattern-drawers have seen the necessity of
paying more attention to the varied styles of India and
of France. From these sources enriching their ideas
and invigorating their fancy, they have been led to adopt
better methods of colouring and contrast. Our patterns
in consequence, possess a degree of taste which does
them infinite credit. The Messrs. Roxburgh, in parti-
cular, infused a spirit of emulation into many of our
drawers, by showing year after year the spirited effects
capable of being produced by a series of styles of pat-
terns of increased dimensions. The Messrs. Roxburgh
have thus eminently contributed to raise the state of de-
sign to its present condition amongst us.
The necessity fiir establishing the School of Design in
Paisley, fur which a spirited saseri[Aion is now in pro-
gress, will be more than manifest from this outline of
the difficulties through which our shawl trade has Stripy-
g,lsd, and in spite of which it has so far triumphed. Let'
our youths possess the pre per means of instruction, and
receive sufficient encouragement to prosecute their
studies in the art of design in connexion with manufac-
tures, and we may safely answer for our shawl trade
soon evincing that it contains not only the elements of
its own improvement and extension, but embodies the
means of improving the condition of our whole com-
munity. One difficulty which our trade has overcome
is that of the introduction of the jacquard loam, not-
withstanding its cost, as well as the expense of setting
up the pattern to be worked by it, the card-paper for
which costs alone seldom less than 601. for a single
pattern, and often 1001.— Government derivir, a duty
th neon of 20 per cent. At present there are
cetn•equently several houses making square and
long shawls in Paisley, which resemble more
closely the Indian fabric than any ever before
munufactumd here. The shawls now manufactured are
indeed to the most superficial observer, an astonishing
contrast in their superiority of design and beauty of
executi, is to those made ten years ago. The lady of a
distingui-hed M.P. returning from the Continent lately
with two of these shawls, a long and a square, both of
Paisley manufacture, in her possession, had them seized
for French at the Custom-howe. It was in vain that
their Paisley origin was insisted up )n. The officers
would not, and could not, believe ir, until Mr. Kerr's
agent went down to them, and exhibiting the pattern,
relieved the property of the honourable member's lady
from the consequences of this somewhat earnest tribute
to our manufacturing success. A harness finished shawl'
two parts white, was shown us, which, when in London,
Mr. Kerr's superintendent found the French themselves
had copied. Entering a shawl emporium, he chanced
to make some recognition of the pattern, but learned to
his astonishment that the shawl in question was French.
It was afterwards ascertained that the French had
strictly copied this production, Mr. Kerr's number for it
being 28, the French 113.

dens, around a woman from whose head and neck the
blood was flowing profusely. Learning that the pri-
soner had stabbr d his wife (the wounded woman) he
took him into custody.
Maurice Newman, No. 3, Store-street, Gower-street,
stated that, shortly before the policeman came up to his
assistance, he was passing by the corner of Bridgewater-
gardens, and saw the prisoner strike with his fist a
woman who was walking close behind him. The pri-
soner than ran in, the woman running alter him, when
he turned sharply round and struck her twice with a
knife, once in the side of the head, and again in the
neck. The witness rushed between them, and seizing
the prisoner by the wrists restrained him from further
mischief until the policeman came to his assistance.
Witness saw the knife distinctly. It was a clasp knife,
and he saw the prisoner wipe it and put it in his pocket,
when he was released from the witness's grasp. On
searching the picket, however, a hole was found in it,
through which there could be no doubt the knife had
fallen. It was not found afterwards.
The prisoner in his defence said, that he was pro-
voked by his wife's drunkenness and violence to strike
her, but that the wounes were inflicted with a street door
key, which he had in his hand at the time. lie posi-
tively denied that he used a knife, or that he had one
about at the time.
It was statied, however, that the surgeon who ex-
amined the woman, had no doubt that the injuries were
inflicted with a knife. The prisoner was remanded till
the woman is perfectly ahle to attend. -

Edward Guinness was charged with assaelting Eliza
Doran, a woman who lives with him as his wife.
The complainant was most frightfully disfigured by
the beating she had suffered, Both her eyes black, and
the whole of her face was swollen and discoloured. She
had several bruises on her temple, and in fact her fea-
tures were hardly distinguishalde. Her hands and arms
were also severely bruised. She said that as the pri-
soner had promised not to assault her I any mere she
would not pre as the charge.
Mr. HENRY—What ! utter receiving such injuries ?
Complainant—Yes, Sir. He says he won't do it a'.7
more. All I want of him now is to leave rue.
The prisoner said he would not hurt her any more,
but he did not wish to leave her. He was perfectly able
to support her.
Mr. HENRY—You know you are quite at her mercy
now ; as I would certainly punish you with the greatest
severity possible, if she were to prove that eshe received
those injuries from you.

Ari'IIEZIENSION OF A GANG oF THIEVES.—The court
was literrlly besieged by tradesmen desirous of hearing
the examination of four persons, charged with having in
their possession a Large quantity of property, the pro-
duce of many robberies committed can shopkeepers in
the metropolis.
The mimes given by-the prisoners, all of whom, with
the exception of the woman, are well known to the police,
were John Walter. John Fran/din (a young man of
coheir), John Williamson, and Mary Tilney, otherwise
Welker.
It appeared that the police for some time past have
had their eye on a house situate No. 3, Chapel-street,
Soho, and a strict watch was placed on thw movements of
certain of the inmates.
The evidence of police-constable Mornet, C division,
was first taken. Ile said, on Monday morning, about
nine o'clock, he was on the watch, when he saw Walker
leave the house No. 3, Chapel-street, where he lived,
and shortly afterwards he s isv Williamson go, in, fol-
lowed by Franklin, who had a bag with him. Walker
returned soon eiterwands, and witness reeked that the
woman Tilney came to the dire- and leeked out once or
twice. Williamson and Franklin then came out of the
house, and witness and ether constables who were with
him immediately took both into custody.
Police-sergeant Gray, C 10, corroborated the state-
ment of Mornet as far as it went. Atter taking the two
prisoners into custody, he went to the house No. 3,
Little Chapel-street, and on asking which was Walker's
room was told to go up to the two-pair back. Witness
went up stairs, and found Walker and the woman Tilnev
in the room. In the fire-place were two pieces of wood,
with marks on them, being burnt. Witness told Walker
he must take him into custody, to which Walker an-
swered it was a bad job.
Police-sergeant Whall, C 16, said he saw Gray take
the two pieces of wood now produced from the fire-
place. As soon as Walker was told he was in custody
he said it was a bad job. Witness asked him where the
cloth was ? Walker said there was some cloth in a
place which he pointed out, and said some cloth had
been left there that morning. Witness searched the
place, and found a considerable quantity of cloth and
other property, all of which witness believed was stelen.
Among the articles found were a piece of silk serge, a
lady's riding habit, two torn labels, and souse coins and
medals.
Mr. Superintendent Beresford, of the C division, said
there were owners for nearly all the property found in
Walker's rooms. Six eases at least would be brought
forward, and he should commence with one that affected
all the four prisoners.
Mr. Gordon,
.of the firm of Walker and Gordon,
drapers and tailors; Bleck in iars-road, said the roller now
produced had the marks of the firm on it. The serge
found in Walker's possession was the property of the
firm, but witness could not., without referring to the
books, state when it had been seen safe in the warehouse,
but witness was not aware that the serge was missing
until made acquainted of the fact by the police.
Mr. O'Brien, who attended professionally for Walker,
cross-examined this and the other witeesst s, but did not
shake the material portions of the evidence. The first
case, however, not being sufficiently complete, the
further hearing was postponed till the next examination.
As there was nothing beyond the mere eircumstarice
of the woman Tilney passing as Walker's wife, and
being found in a room in which stolen property was
placed, Mr. Harwick decided on liberating her, and she
was discharged accordingly.
The next case was against I') anhlin and Williamson,
for stealing a piece of cloth free] the shop of Messrs.
Mack-en and Co., tailors, No. 42, Conduit street.
Walter Fisher, porter to Messrs. Macken and Co.,
said on the 25th of June, on his return from breakfast, he
saw Franklin in Conduit-street, and immediately after-
wards he noticed the prisoner Williamson cross the street
with a bag on his shoulder. Suspecting something wrong,
he went into the shop and missed an end of cloth, which
was safe before he left to go to his breakfast.
He ran out and pursued a cab, into which Williamson
had got with the property, and stopped it near St.
George's Church. He told the prisoner Williamson he
wanted to see the goods in the bag. The prisoner
Williamson told him he was welcome to look at the
property, and got nut of the cab as if to assist him.
While witness was untying the bag the prisoner Wil-
liamson ran down Maddox-street, and made his escape.
Witness found the stolen end of cloth in the bag.
The cab-driver was called, but though he recollected
being hired for a job, he could not speak with certainty
to the person of Williamson.
The case was considered to be too slight to convict
Franklin upon, and consequently Williamson alone was
ordered to stand committed on this charge.
The next case was for a burglary at the house of Mr.
Nash, 11, St. John's Wood.
It was proved by the servant that the house was en-
tered a short time ago, and robbed of plate, jewellery,
a snuff-box, some coins, and other property. The coins
and snuff-box found in Walker's house were part of the
stolen property.
A cab driver, No. 6,023, said he was employed on the
evening of the robbery to take a fare of three persons
to St. John's-wood:— One of the periOns was of very
dark complexion, but as they were all buttoned up, and
had handkerchiefs round their necks, he was unable to
swear positively that the prisoners were the persons.
As the evidence only affected Walker, the other two
were not included in the charge. Walker was ordered
-to be committed.
Mr. Robert Pearce, tailor, No. 23, Edward-street, pro-
, secuted in the next COO. •
The prosecutor said his shop was entered on the 12th
of August last, and a quantity of property carried off.
The thieves effected an entrance by using a pair of
plyers to unlock the shop-door with, though the door
was locked inside, and the key in the lock. Witness
missed several ready made articles, a gold watch, and a
ten pound promissory note, and some sovereigns, which
he had placed in an old waistcoat pocket. The remnant
of doeskin produced by the police, and found at Walker's
lodgings, was a part of the stolen property.
Walker was committed on this case.
The next case was that of Mr. Leon, tailor, 47, Rath-
bone-place. The prosecutor said on the morning of the
7th of August some thieves entered his shop, and carried
off a quantity of ready-made clothes, a piece of cloth,
and piece of doeskin. A portion of a garment found in
Walker's possession was identified by Mr. Leon.
Mr. Leon said he recollected the prisoner Franklin com-
ing to his shop some time it- fore the robbery, and giv-
ing him an order for a pair of trousers. The prisoner's
order was executed; and prosecutor, finding they gave
satisfaction, begged to see him again at his shop, and
solicited him to recommend his friends. The prisoner
promised
to comply with his request, and he had appa.
rently kept his word.
W.alker.wascommitted on this charge.
The next case was tor stealing a riding habit and a
dress-coat from the 51" op of Mr. Tabley, tailor, 43,
Upper Berkeley-street. A portion only of the riding
habit was found in Walker's lodging. This, however,
was positively sworn to by the lady's maid of Mrs. Kidd,
of Albion-place, as the property of her mistress.
The evidence being incomplete, the charge was not
proceeded with.

is to be removed. She will remain in dock only one
tide, merely sufficient time to broom down her bottom,
after which she will be got to sea with the least possible
delay. She is progressing very favourably at present
under the experienced hands of her first Lieutenant Mr.
Lindsay, who fitted her out. Lieutenant J. B. West
(1831), six years senior to Lieutenant Lindsay is, how-
ever, appointed first Lieutenant of the America, to suc-
ceed Mr. Agas;z, invalided. It is believed on hoard that
the America will be sent to reinforce the squadon in
the Mediterranean. Captain Gordon is en leave.
WOOLWICH, SEPT. 15. Field-Marshal his Grace
the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief, and the
Marquis of Anglesey, Master- General of the Ordnance,
arrived at Woolwich at an early hour this morning, and
were received by Captaiii-Superintedent Houston Stuart,
C. 8., who steered his Grace and the Noble Marquis in
the barge of the William and Mary yacht to the Black
Eagle steam-vessel, 'sins, with her steam up, in the
middle of the river. The Marquis of Anglesey arrived
at twenty minutes before eight o'clock, and visi!ed the
testing-department for anchors and chains, :►ttsuded by
the Captain-Superintendent and heals of the vaiious
departments. His Grace the Duke of Wellington ar-
rived precisely at eight o'clock, and immediately entsred
the barge of the Wiliam and Mary, to he conveyed to
the Black Eagle sesion vessel. The Marquis of Anglesey-
was accompanied by Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary
to the Master General of the Ordnance. Sir William
Gossett accompauied his Grace and the Marquis of
Anglesey to Chatham, arid die Black Eagle left Wool-
wich at ten minutes past eight o'clock.
The Swallow steam- vessel, under the command of Mr.
Bryant. master of the Monkey steam-vessel, left Wool-
wich this morning for the raver Shannon, end embarked
40 of the men who brought round the Conflict steam-
vessel to 'Woolwich. The Myr:le steam vessel left
Woolwich at the same time fur Portsmouth, with 20
of the men eho brought round the Conflict to this naval
depot.
The Conflict steamer is now ordered to be brought up
the river to Deptford, and sill be taken into the same
dock as the Growler steam-vessel, to be fitted with her
screw propeller.
The La Hoeue, fitting at Blackwell, as a 74-gun block
ship, is ordered to.Deptford to have her screw propeller
fitted at that dockyard.
The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, left her
moorings at Deptford, at half-past seven o clock, this
morning, to afford an opportunity of trying her engines
and speed. Several naval officers went on board at
Woolwich dockyard, and she proceeded down the river
in fine style. Amongst the naval officers present were
Commodore Sir C. Napier, who designed the vessel,
Captain Sir S. Brown, Captain the Hon. D. W. A. Pei-
ham, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, Captain Wellesley-,
Captain Sparshott, K.H., Captain Price, Captain Bur-
ridge, and Lieutenant Roberts, Captain S. Sparshot, of
the Coast Guard, Major Henderson, brother of the gal-
lant commander of the vessel, Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer
at Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. Willcox, assistant to
the master shipwright of Deptford Docks ard, and Mr.
Seaward, of the firm of Seaward and Cape!, constructor
of the engines. The paddle-box boats are now on board
and a portion of her shot, but she will require a consi-
derably greater immersion to give her paddle-wheels
sufficient purchase in the water before she attains her
full speed. On regulating the time of her passing over
the measursd mile in Long Reach, it was found that she
performed that distance in 5 min. and 30 sec., or at the
rate of 10.9 knots par hour, and by the common log
10.8 knots per hour, without her full power being ap-
plied. When nearly opposite Sheerness Massey's log was
thrown overboard, and when the vessel was going at half
speed the log, on being taken on board, showed the speed
tsst br eight knots -per hour. The Sidon proceeded on-
wards to the Mouse Light, about eight miles beyond the
Nero, and proved an excellent and manageable war-
steamer, answering her helm in a most admit able man-
ner, turning entirely round in two minutes. This ope-
ration in a man-of-war occupies about five minutes, and
the result obtained in the Sidon gave great satisfaction
to-the-whole of the naval officers on board. The Sidon
Is admired by all who have witnessed her construction
for war purposes, her upper deck being of ample dirnen•
sions for working her powerful guns, and the funnels
being made on the telescopic principle, and can --be
lowered to the level of the deck by machinery. The
lower deck is also remarkable for the little interruption
given to this view of the commanding officer by the
machinery, and altoget;7,er her appearance is nearer to
to that of a ship of war than any steamer previously
constructed. The engines in one part became heated
to-day, which prevented the full speed being tried, but
on her return they worked very weal. Mr. Brunet ex-
hibited and explained the nature and advantages of his
reefing paddle-wheel to the naval officers on board. The
ship carpenters were employed all day as if the, vessel
had been stationary, and on her return up the river she
was attached to moorings opposite the dockyard, Wool-
wich, where she will be completed for sea under the
superintendence of Mr. Willcox, assistant to the master
shipwright,:who has superintended her building since the
commencement.

CLEVER DETECTTON.—A gentleman residing at the
village Muttonhoh., who had occasion to be in Edin-
burgh in the course of Monday, hircd a minibus in the
evening to convey him home. After leaving town, the
'gentleman, who was accompanied by a friend, fell asleep
in the minibus, as did also his companion. On reaching
his destination, he was somewhat surprised to find, that
from the time he entered the cab his morey was miss-
ing. Being convinced that it must have been taken
from his person while asleep, he determined to secure
the driver and another cabman who was along with him,
till such time ts the matt,r was cleared up. Accord-
ingly, on alighting from the vehicle, he asked both of
these individuals to bring into his house some articles
which he hail purchased in Edinburgh, and which were
lying in the bottom of the carriage. The parties, not
stuTeeting the object he had in view, readily complied.
On their reaching_ a room with their burdens, the gen-
tleman closed the door, and placed his back against it,
to prevent their egress till the arrival of the constable
at the village, for whom he had sent. The constable
whose name is Beaton, on his arrival, on being informed
what had happened, searched the bottom of the mini-
bus, and amongst the straw he found 8/. inclosed in three
separate paroles. This sum being 3/. short of the loss
sustained by the gentleman, the search was continued,
when the remainder of the money was discovered con-
cealed in the cushion of the driver's seat. Both cab-
men were thereupon taken into custody, and were on
Tuesday remitted by the sheriff for trial.—Scotch paper.
REWARDS FOR EXTINGUISRINC FIRES.—At an in-
quest held yesterday, it was suggested by a juryman that
a small fund, at the disposal of the coroner and jury,
might be most advantageously applied to reward indivi-
duals who distinguished themselves in putting out fires
and saving liven. A shilling a piece from the house-
holders of a district, it was said, would form an ample
NW for the purpose.

The prisoners were directed to stand committed as
above, but to be again brought up next Friday to com-
plete the evidence in the first case.

their
It is due to the police to say, is solely by
activity and intelligence that these cases have been
brought forward against the prisoners. To show the
magnitude of the robberies in which the prisoners were
concerned, it is ascertained that the value of the property
taken in the above six cases exceeds 1,2001.
Ann Winter was charged with stealing a boa from
the shop of Mr. Smith, in Tottenham-court-road.
Hugh Hutchinson, a labouring man, said he was look-
ing at some curiosities in the window of Mr. Smith's
shop with some others, and the woman at the bar was
among them. She looked about her and then lifted the
boa and concealed it undi.r hcr shawl, from under which
it wit; taken by the shopman.
Mr.llHAßDwios committed her for trial.
William Osborne was charged with refractory conduct
at St. George's workhouse.
Francis Baldwin, the beadle of St. George's, said the
defendant came last night about half-past seven to the
overseer's office, drunk. He was offered relief,but be re-
fused it with curses, saying that he would have a lodging
there OW uight. Lli3language 3c, abusive that he had

to be given in charge. It is against the rule of the house
to take p rsons in liquor in.
The defendant said he had no lodging, and no where
to go for the right, and bread was useless
Mr. HARDWICK thought it st‘ange that an able-
bodied man, like the defendant, should he resortit.g to
the workhouse, when woik was so ,plentiful in the
e,untry. He sent him ten days to the House of Cor-
rection.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
SHEERNESS, MONDAY EVENING.—His Majesty the
King of Sardinia's corvette Aurora arrived here on Sa-
turday afternoon last, fur Hull. The captain and officers,
to the number of 32, and stated to be pupils of the naval
school of Sardinia, visited the dockyard this morning,
over which they were escorted by Lieutenant Ramsey,
the director of police. Having minutely inspected the
several works going on in the dockyard and the smithey.
the cement kiln, the mast-house, &c., they left the yard
about one o'clock and proceeded to view the extensive
fortifications in course of erection here, returning on
board their ship about two o'clock. They dine with the
Commander-in-Chief this evening, and proceed to-
morrow on a visit to Chatham Dockyard.
It having been intimated yesterday by circular from
the Commander-in-Chief that his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, accompanied by the Marquis of Anglesey,
the Mister-General of the Ordnance, would visit the
port in: the course of this dey, all the authorities and
crowds of the denizens of Sheerness, from an early hour
in the morning were on the qui vice for his arrival, but
the usual punctuality of his Grace has for once failed
him, 6w up to the present time (seven A.M.) nothing has
been s- en or heard of him. It was expected that he
would have arrived about noon in the Black Eagle from
Woolwich. Extensive alterations and improvements, it
is well known, are at the present moment in progress at
the old works at this p'race; while a new and formidable
battery, capable of mounting from fifty to sixty guns of
the largest calibre, is in completion opposite the dock-
yard-gate, protected seaward by a deep moat, and flanked
en each extremity by huge musketry walls, on the one
hand, connecting it to the fortifications at Garrison
Point, and on the ether to the land defy-nags which ex-
tend continuously from the Thames to the Medway, and
which are now being heightened and strengthened, and
t.avirg a ravelin form on the Miie-town side of the draw-
bridge. The alterations on thy• works at Garrison Point
are now nearly complete, and as sixty-three of the guns
have arrived, and the beds and pivots for most of them
are ready. his Grace will ii subtle. s order some of them
to he mounted. The siro and calibre of the puns have
ulretui 'be-n given in The Sun—they are chiefly 32 and
68-pour.,' Fifty-eight of a similar description are
ordered fo ; I new works.

MARKET NE WS.-( YESTERDAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of Et.gfish IV heat for our market being some-
what on the increase, and the show of Monday's unsold
samples rather large, the (It mend for that article to-day was
heavy, yet we can notice no alteration in value. In free

lit:le business was doing, but about 2,000 quarters in bond
were taken tlir shipment to France. The show of Barley was
very small, while the trade was firm at fully previous quota-
