handed to witness)—These are the papers given me by
the policeman Prender ; some of the papers, which I did
not consider material, I rejected, and did not forward to
Mr. Kemmis. They were never out of my custody from
the time I got them from Prender until I handed them
to Mr. Kemmis. I cannot swear that they are in the
same state now as when they were in my possession. I
cannot swear that there was not another page of the
document headed " Our Harvest Prospects" when it was
in my possession. I cannot say the page was wanting
when I first got the document.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then gave in evidence the
following documents :
An attested copy of the declaration of proprietorship
of the Tribune newspaper, which was signed by Mr.
O'Doherty in the presence of Mr. Vernon, of the Stamp
office; the two copies of the Irish Tribune of the Ist and
Bth of July, containing the indicted articles, and signed
by the prisoner ; and the imperfect manuscript of the
article entitled " Our Harvest Prospects."
The case for the Crown closed here, and the Court
adjourned till ten o'clock next morning.

The LORD MAYOR—If such were the case, it would
be an aggravation of his crime; for, in again marrying,
he was making those who were aware of the fact parties
to the felony.
The prisoner requested to be allowed to remain at the
Giltspur-street Compter until the time of trial, for the
convenience of consulting his solicitor upon the subject
of his defence.

The LORD MAYOR peremptorily refused to grant the
favour, and said that Newgate presented adequate facili-
ties.—The prisoner, against whom several strong ex-
pressions of hardly suppressed indignation were uttered
during the investigation, was then committed for trial.

Between the fir's't examination and the committal of
the prisoner, a gentleman of the medical profession, to
whom the prisoner had become accidentally known in In-
dia, waited upon the Lord Mayor, and gave some details
which showed that the fellow had been long in the habit
of imposing upon young females by a variety of gross
misrepresentations, and that he spoke of his marriages
as forming examples of genius in his plans of seduction.
As the case at present stands, the heaviest punishment
that can be inflicted upon the prisoner is transportation
for seven years; but it is believed that the Apothecaries'
Company will come forward to prosecute him for the
forgery of the certificate.
The LORD MAYOR stated to the friends of the pcor
young women who have been the victims of the prisoner,
that as the case appeared to him to be one in which the
interests and feelings of the public were essentially con-
cerned, he should direct the City Solicitor to prosecute.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
NEff COURT.
(Before the CoMMON SERUEANT.)
Joseph Maclaren, a labourer, 23, and James Pomeroy
Boobner, a shoemaker, aged 42, were indicted for steal-
ing a cash-box, containing a 51. note, ten sovereigns, and
other moneys, the property of James Barker, in his
dwelling-house.
Mr. O'Brien prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended.
It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Fortune of
War public-house, in Giltepur-street, and Maclaren was
servant in the house. On the night of the 22d of Sep-
tember there was a party there, which broke up about
three in the morning, when there was a great disturb-
once; and when they were leaving, the prisoners were
seen behind the bar on their knees, near where the cash-
box was kept, and a chinking of money was heard. As
soon as the party had left the cash-box was missed, and
the circumstance becoming known, the fact of the pri-
soners being seen where they had, was mentioned.
Mr. PARRY contended there was no evidence to show
the prisoners stole the box.
The prisoners were found Guilty, and the Common
Sergeant, in passing sentence, remarked upon the fla-
grant nature of the case, the more particularly as far as
Maclaren was concerned, he being a servant in the em-
ploy of the prosecutor.
Maclaren was then sentenced to seven years' trans-
portation, and Boobner to one year and hard labour.
Edwin James Lucas surrendered to take his trial
upon an indictment charging him with having stolen
a quantity of stereotype plates, the property of James
I Silverlock.
Mr. Parry prosecuted and Mr. Clarkson defended.
The prisoner had been in the employ of the pro-
secutor, who is a printer in Doctors' Commons. Pro-
secutor, having a suspicion that he was being robbed,
set a watch upon his men, and the result was that the
prisoner's premises were searched, and some plates,
partly melted down, and some metal belonging to pro-
secutor, found.
In cross-examination it was elicited that the prisoner
might have taken the metal home to try experiments in
stereotype casting.
The jury Acquitted the prisoner.
James Spackman, aged 23, and Mark Barker, 42, two
labourers, were indicted for stealing twenty bushels of
wheat, the property of William James Reynolds the
master of Spackman.
The case, which has been fully given under the head
of the police intelligence during the past week, was most
conclusive, and the jury found them Guilty, and they
were transported for seven years.
Edwin Gatehouse and William Dowley, the former a
shoemaker, and the latter a clerk, were convicted of a
nameless offence.—Sentence deferred.
Gatehouse was then indicted for stealing some boots
tied shoes, the property of William Towers, his master,
and found Guilty.
He was then transported for seven years.
THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Bum.oca.)
Susannah Taylor, a good• looking young woman, was
indicted for having feloniously married one George Scott,
her husband, John Taylor, being alive.
Mr. Robinson appeared to defend the prisoner.
The prosecutor, George Scott, stated that he was a
river lighterman. He first became acquainted with the
prisoner about eighteen months ago, by meeting her at
a public-house in the reighbourhood of Stepney. After
keeping company with her some short time she :sliced
him if he would marry her ; when he replied, that he
did not mind if he did, but he had not then the means
at hand wherewith to provide a home. She answered, that
was of no consequence, as they could get married first,
and g,t a home afterwards. Ile agreed to that course
being taken, end about three months after (the 26th of
June, 184 ,') iiii, were married at Stepoey Church, by:Mr.
Neville, -t,:., assistant-curate. After the ceremony was
pertorwrd, the prisoner went one way, and the witness
another. Shortly a'ter the marriage he was walking
along High-street, Wsppmg, with the trismer on his
I arm .wli a a woman came up and told the prisoner that
she ought to be ashamed of herself for being with a man,
she being another man's wife, but she denied it, and
witness believed her. However, from circumstances he
ha-I learned, he went to Bethnal-green Old Church, and,
en insp—ting the register, he found that she really was
married to Taylor, and procured a copy of the register
1 (_) his own marriage to her, and caused her to be taken

THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT IN
THE COURT OF CHANCERY.
Her Majesty and the Prince are well known as
patrons of the arts. They are not " patrons" in a
merely vulgar sense, but themselves follow art in
various branches with a pure love not often manifested
by royal persons. Our readers may remember to
have read an account, not long since, of various
drawings and etchings which have been executed by
her Majesty and Prince Albert, and which excited a
deserved admiration in those who were so favoured as
to be allowed to inspect them. These drawings, or
etchings, or copies of them, it seems, have, by some
scandalous turpitude, being abstracted from the
palace without authority. They were taken to a
publisher in Paternoster-row, who proceeded to ad-
vertise them for publication, with a " descriptive
catalogue." It was not to be supposed that this
piracy could be allowed to pass. That the parties
aggrieved were our gracious Queen and her Consort,
was no reason why punishment should not follow the
offence. Accordingly, it was resolved that pro-
ceedings should be taken to restrain the individual in
question from proceeding with his threatened publi-
cation. It was necessary that Prince Albert should
make an affidavit, which he did. We subjoin an
abstract of it :
The deponent describes himself as " Albert, Prince
of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Consort of her Majesty
the Queen," and maketh oath and saith :—" That he
has looked through the book intituled A Descriptive
Catalogue of the Royal Victoria and Albert Gallery
of Etchings.' That there are such etchings made by
her Majesty and himself respectively as therein
mentioned—that the same were so made for the
private use of her Majesty and himself, and
not for publication. That they had a private
press, from which they occasionally took impres-
sions of the etchings, and that the plates were
and are kept locked up by her Majesty, in
order to prevent the same becoming public ; but
that copies are left in some of the private apartments,
and in such private apartments only. That there
are various family portraits and etchings from old
and rare engravings in the possession of her Ma-
jesty, and several from such original designs as
in this catalogue mentioned, and that amongst such
etchings are several portraits of the Princess Royal,
and such scenes in the royal nursery as in the
catalogue mentioned. That such etchings were in-
tended for the private use of her Majesty and the de-
ponent only. That although some of such etchings
hare been given occasionally and very rarely to the
personal friends of her Majesty, yet the deponent
says, speaking positively for himself and to the best
of his belief for her Majesty, that no suck col-
lection as that advertised for exhibition was ever given
away by them or either of them, or by their or either
of their permission. That no such collection could
have been formed, except by impressions surrepti-
tiously and improperly obtained, and believes that the
defendant or the person or persons in the possession
of the collection advertised for exhibition must have
obtained, and did obtain the same from some person
or persons surreptitiously. That by whatever means
the same were obtained, the exhibition of the said
etchings, or any of them, is without the sanction and
against the wishes of her Majesty and deponent,
and believes that such catalogue could not have been
compiled or made except by possession of the
several impressions of the said etchings so surrep-
titiou-ly obtained. That the deponent's first
knowledge of the existence of such Catalogue
of Etchings was on the 11th of October instant, when
it was given to deponent by G. E. Anson, Esq., as a
parcel which had been left at the Palace, directed to
her Majesty, and opened by him as her Privy Purse,
and deponent thereby learnt for the first time that it
was intended to submit them to public exhibition, and
he believes on the same occasion, arid at the same
time, her Majesty first became aware of the existence
of such catalogue, and deponent immediately desired
the said G. E. Anson, Esq., to write to the private ,
solicitor of her Majesty on the subject."
Upon this affidavit an injunction was granted to
restrain the publisher in question from proceeding
further in the business. The application was made,
and the injunction granted.
It appears that in a legal point of view the question
is a new one. The case of piracy of drawings not
intended for publication does not appear to have
come before the courts in any previous instance. The
nearest case to it, in which an injunction has been
granted, was where the application was to restrain
the publication by a piratical bookseller of Arch-
deacon Paley's MS. sermon after his death..—Atlas.

into custody.
Mrs. Scott, prosecutor's mother, produced the copies
from the register, and proved that they were the correct
ones.
The prisoner's father proved that she had lived with
Taylor, and was, he believed, his wife; and he stated,
that 25 the prisoner had never lived with Scott, Tailor
considered that his honour was unimpeacbed by the
double marria,re, and would therefore receive her back
as his wife the moment she was out of prison.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended
her to mere•.
The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to one
month's hard labour.
W. Crofts and Francis Viner were indicted for steal-
ing six quarters of oats and fourteen sacks, the property
of Mr. Tomlin, of the Torrington Arms; and John Sea-
ley, corn-dealer, of Theohald's-road, and Sarah, his
wife, were charged with feloniously receiving the
property.
The case having been proved, several witnesses spoke
to Sealey's good character. lie was well known on the
Corn Exchange.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, but recommended
them to mercy on account of their good character.
The Learned COMMISSIONER sentenced Croft and the
two Sealeys to one'year's hard labour each, and Viner to
fourteen days in Newgate.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
M ANSION--HO USE.
Henry Bramall, alias Henry Edward Braman, alias
Henry Beaumont, was brought before the Lord Mayor
for final examination, charged with having married
several young women, all of whom are now living.
The interest excited by this case gathered together a
large assemblage of respectable persons of both sexes,
many of whom were the friends of the ladies who were
victimized.
The prisrner was quite unmoved during the investi-
gation. Mr. Buchanan, soi &aut., attended for him, but
he very nirrowly watched the evidence himself, and
seemed to calculate upon some chance arising from in,-
perfect identification.
The Rev. Alexander Fletcher was the first witness
called. He stated that in the year 1839 he married
Henry Bramall to Rebecca Coach, in Princes-street
Chapel, Devonport. He believes the prisoner to be the
man he married upon the occasion.
The certificate of the marriage, which stated that it
had taken place on the 18th of August, was here pro-
duced and authenticated.
Elizabeth Tinley stated that she had been married to
the prisoner on the 25th of March, 1843. He stated to
her that his name was Henry Edward Beaumont, and five
mouths after the marriage he went to sea.
Emily Georgina Rose, whose affections the prisoner
had gained on the passage to India in the vessel in which
he was acting as surgeon, and in which she was a pas-
senger, was the next witness called. The poor young
creature was an object of great and general commisera-
tion. She has not yet attained her sixteenth year, and
upon being called according to the customary form to
say whether she knew the prisoner, she was quite over-
powered by her feelings, and sobbed and wept bitterly.
It was well that she had but to answer a question or
two. She stated that she was now living in Sussex
with her friends, and that she had been married to the
prisoner at the Old Church, in Fort William, Bengal, on
the 30th of October, 1847, and had lived with him after-
wards as his wife.

t
A letter from the prisoner to his wife, dated N
York, 1842, was also produced, but was not read. ew
The
writing was compared to the writing in the '
prisoner's
log, in which the prisoner had recorded his marriage in
India to Emily Georgina Rose, as a matter of fact which
he had no intention of concealing.
Mr. W. Medland, medical and drug agent, Upper
Thames-street, stated that he was married to prisoner's
wife's sister, and knew him well. He believed the writ-
ing produced to be that of the prisoner. He had been
at the prisoner's house, at St. Blasey, in Cornwall,
where the prisoner carried on the business of a druggist.
" I met the prisoner, said the witness, " one day in
Bishopegate-street, and he told me he was a surgeon to
a ship. I expressed some surprise at the circumstance,
knowing his want of qualification, and he assured me
that he had got his certificate from Apothecaries' Hall.
Inquiry was subsequently made at Apothecaries' Hall
upon the subject, when it was found that there was no
entry of the name." It is supposed that the certificate
which he became possessed of belonged to another per-
son, whose name he erased by a chemicalprocess, for the
purpose of substituting his own.
The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to say
anything?—The prisoner, having retired for some mi-
nutes in order to communicate with his attorney, de-
clined making any observations.
Mr. Buchanan said the prisoner wished him to state
that some of the females who came forward against him
knew when they were receiving his addresses that he
was a married man.

CONSEQUENCES OF REDUCTION.—The passion for mi-
litary reduction has already produced rich fruits. Prac-
tically, Mr. Cobden's precious theory of disarmament
has been for some time in operation at one part of the
frontier of the Cape colony, and the natural result
is now apparent. The rebel Prsetorius, who is not
a member of any peace society, called upon Major
Warden, the British resident at Bloem Fontein, to
" give up the country," or have it " taken from
him by force," and Major Warden, incapable of offering
any resistance with the very small number of troops at
his disposal, was compelled to comply. We can appre-
ciate the bit ter feelings of mortification with
which Major Warden and Assistant Staff-Surgeon
Fraser signed the capitulation—a document to which
British officers are so entirely unaccustomed. On the
heavy disgrace which fell upon us in giving up territory
to an armed rebel we forbear to enlarge. That
it would have happened had 500 men, strongly en-
trenched, been at the Resident's disposal instead of " 50
in an untenable position," no sane man will venture
to assert. Ten times the force of the insurgent
boer might then have been defied, and the integrity
of British rule fairly upheld until a large body of
troops could have been sent from head-quarters. It is
true that Sir Harry Smith has, with characteristic
energy, promptly vindicated the honour of the British
killed
army, and scattered the Pretorian bands like chaff;
making of Boem Plaats another Aliwal. But the cost
has been serious. Seven officers wounded, all severely
and
dangerously (one of them since dead), eight men
an , and thirty-two wounded, is a heavy sacrifice in
encounter
the Government arenet the only enemies with which
of which might have been avoided had

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 31.)
SUGAR.—To-day the market was much better sup-
plied with colonial Sugar, and former rates were not
generally sustained, as buyers were not so desirous to
do business as on Friday last. A fair demand existed
for West India, in consequence of rather lower prices in
some cases having been accepted, and the sales are 697
hhds, &c., including 169 hhds at auction, which went a
little cheaper, low yellow selling at 35s 6d, mid 36s to
375, good 37s 6d to 395, and fine 40s to 41s per cwt.
REYINED.—To-day Refined met with a good demand
for home trade purposes, brown grocery lumps 48s, and
Standard at 49s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is un-
altered in value, but is wanted for shipping.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri-
tius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted
to 20 casks 8,731 bags ; the demand was not so good,
and not above half sold at a deline on former rates of 6d
per cwt; good middling and good yellow went at 36s id
to 38s, low to middling 33s 6d to 365, ordinary to fine
brown 28s to 335, washed and syruppy 28s 6d to 38s 6d
per cwt.. . _

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon five parcels of Bengal
Sugar were offered at public sale, amounting to 3,749
bags, when not above one-half found buyers, and even
then a decline of 6d per cwt had to be accepted. Of
Madras 194 bags were sold at easier rates; clamp yellow
at 30s to 335, and brown 28s to 29s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon a public sale of 216 hhds
and 160 brls Portu Rico Sugar went off flatly at 40s to
42s for good and fine; a part only found buyers.
MOLASSES.—HoIders of West India evince firmness,
and insist upon full rates; a fair amount of business has
also been concluded at 14s to 18s for low to fine. Of
Cuba 200 pns have been disposed of at 16s per cwt. In
Bengal Treacle a good business has been concluded at
15s to 15s 6d per cwt, and a less quantity is on offer.
The stock of Molasses is still much less than last year,
whilst arrivals are materially lower.
COFFEE .—This afternoon there was a brisker demand
for Ceylon Coffee, and at public sale 19 csks 1,417 bags
were all sold at full rates, Native, good ordinary wont at
27s to 27a 6d, damaged 25s to 26s 6d ' • Plantation, low
middling and middling 41a to 44s 6d, fine fine ordinary
36s to 40s, fine ordinary 30s to 365, good ordinary 27s 6d
to 295, pea berry 41s to 455, damaged 23s to 365, low black
14a to 14a 6d, and damaged 9s to 13s 6d. Of Rio 1,330
bags were so'd, good ordinary pale at 24s Gd to 25e,
colory ditto 26s 6d, and damaged 17s 6d to 23s 6d.
TEA.—Arrivals were small during the past week,
whilst the home trade clearances were upon a large
scale, reaching to 556,0001b5. None has been offered
at public sale; but by private treaty the market is
well supplied with all sorts. Black is offered rather
below former rates ; still the trade are far from
anxious to do business, and 7d to 8d is the value
of ordinary and good ordinary Congou. Green is dull
of sale, and further reduced rates are taken. Although
Scented Teas have receded in value, yet buyers are not
disposed to extend their transactions ; the supply far
exceeds the demand. The deliveries of Tea are greater
than in 1847 ; but there is a smaller stock, and prices
rule lower.

offer.

perienced, and the rates paid are 44s 9d to 45s
per cwt for fine new P Y Candle, at which holders
are firm. For delivery up to the close of the
year similar rates are insisted upon, but not
much business has been done. Home made met with
a good sale at 453 to 45s 6d nett cash, but the supply
does not get smaller. Other sorts of Tallow have re-
alised fully former rates. At auction 460 pkgs of South

" THE GA s • LIGHT MONITOR."—This is a recent
invention, for which a patent has been obtained, and of
which the results can be seen and tested by anybody in-
terested in the consumption of gas, at the offices of the
patentees, No, 26, King William-street, Charing-cross.
Although the apparatus is very small, and the price at
which it can be obtained very trifling, its effects are very
considerable, and its value comparatively great. It con-
sists of a neat brass box, or small chamber, about an
inch in length, and not more than two thirds of au inch
in diameter, which can be attached to any gas-burner,
and which is placed about two inches below the orifice
from which the gas is emitted and the flame commences.
By the contrivance, whkh any person can regulate, and
which, on inspection, can be understood at once, however
difficult to be described on paper, safety, economy, and
cleanliness are effectually secured ; there is no flare, no
flickering, no smoke, and none of those occasional jets of
soot, by which anything in the neighbourhood of the
burner is defiled, arid by which many things of delicate
texture are spoilt. The currents of gas are so completely
governed and regulated, that the quantity consumed in a
given time cannot exceed, whatever the pressure may be,
what is requisite for a full height or size of flame ; gas
cannot escape into the apartment in which the burner is
used. There is no disagreeable vapour produced, no op-
pression from heat, and no dirt from smoke. For street
lamps, the invention will be very useful, for it is well
known that when the gas is turned off, about nine
o'clock, when it is no longer wanted in shops in the heart
of the town, a sudden rush of it takes place in the burners
of the lamps in the streets, and particularly in those in
the northern district of the town, by which glasses are
broken, and a very great amount of expense incurred.
In factories it will be of great use, because it gives an
equable light, and has no variations of blaze or obseu-
ration, and in private houses and shops, in which costly
articles are contained, its use is self-evident. It is in
operation at the premises of the patentees all day long,
and can be seen by anybody.—limes.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Nervousness, Lowness of
Spirits, Disordered Stomachs, and Indigestion Cured by
Pills.—The causes from which these com-
plaints arise are too numerous for recital, yet nothing
lays the foundation sooner than a studious or sedentary
life, which disorders the nerves, and other distressing
complaints follow such as deranged stomachs,;iadigestion,
and lowness of spirits. There is no medicine so certain
as Holloway's Pills in allaying the irritability of the
nervous system, strengthening the tone of the stomach,
creating appetite, improving digestion, and invigorating
the constitution. Their purifying nature gives freedom
of circulation to the blood, so that by their use the
afflicted are speedily restored to health. Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand, London.

MONIST MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 14 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
31 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.50; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is 0.20 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. Icid. per ounce for
13.10 i;
standard gold, gives an exchange of and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.101,
it follows that gold is 0.05 per cent. dearer in liamburgli
than in London.

CONSIDERATE.—The editor of the Arkansas Journal
says:—" Where our office was two weeks ago now runs
the Mississippi river. Out of respect for the father of
rivers, we left."

[AbvEansamENT:j—lndigestion—that Parent of
so many diseases, may be effectually cured by the use
of the celebrated Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared
by John Kaye, of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield. This
assertion is not based upon mere opinion or probability,
but upon facts. Jonathan Good, tailor, of Winchester,
suffered for years from indigestion, he was recommended
to try Kaye's Worsdell's Pills, and as the result, be has
enjoyed better health than for years before.—Mr. James
Noble, of Brampton, Cumberland, writes,—" My wife
was for a long time troubled with pains in the stomach,
loss of appetite, sickness, and general debility; she was
fully restored to health by taking one small box of these
Pills." Mrs. W., of Ewelme, Wallingford, writing to
Mr. C. J. Vennimore, says,—"-I believe Kaye's Pills
saved my life last summer, when I was attacked by the
Cholera." Ellen Egglestone, Feling-bridge, near Bi-
shop Auckland, was affected with disease of the bowels
for two years, but was restored to perfect health by tak-
ing one box of Kaye's Worsdell's Pills." Every one
suffering from Bile, Flatulency, or Indigestion, is earnestly
recommended to give these Pills a trial. See that Mr.
Kaye's coat of arms and a fee. simile of his signature,
are printed on the directions for use wrapped round
each box, as without this none are genuine. Sold by all
Medicine Venders, price Is. lid. ; 2s. 9d.; or 4s. 6d.
per box.
