THE LEANDER, PHAETON, AND
ARETHUSA.

A correspondent has forwarded to a Devonport paper
the following, under the date of her Majesty's ship
Leander, Lisbon, December 17, 1850:—" Sir,—Through
the medium of your valuable paper, I beg to contradict
a statement which has been circulated through some
of the Devonport papers, stating that in a stiff breeze
on the 19th of November last, the Phaeton, as usual,
beat all the other ships of the squadron, and in so
doing twisted the head of her foremast, and
still held the pre-eminence; and that the Arethusa came
next. It is true she twisted the head of her foremast;
but nothing is said concerning her carrying away her
jibboom, port bumpkin, and a portion of her cut-
water, topsail sheets, &e. I am surprised at such a
statement as beating the Arethusa, but, however, it is
clear enough that it is out of prejudice to the model
of British naval architecture' (the Arethusa). I will here
relate the fscts as they occurred in our different trials
of sailing. During the summer we had several trials on
a wind, with scarcely enough wind to keep the sails
full; the Phmton then certainly bad the advantage, but
very little of the Arethusa. On the sth of Nov. last we
left Lisbon, and for several days we were either becalmed
or had light airs, but at 10 30 A.M. on the 18th a change
took place; the sky became overcast. At 11 30 the Com-
modore made signal to try the rate of sailing on a wind.
By this time there was: a stiff royal breeze. All the frigates
had a beautiful start. About 3 P.M. (the wind in-
creasing) the Phaeton was obliged to take in her royals.
At this hour the Arethusa gained about 1# to 2 miles;
at 4 P.M. Phaeton hoisted a signal, " I cannot carry on,"
for no other reason than tho Arethusa was laughing at
her to windward. 4 30, signal to take station, and reefed
topsails and courses, blowing very fresh, which continued
during the night. At 8 o'clock the following morning
(19th November) there was a good sea up, with about a
half gale of wind; 8 20, Commodore made signal to
Phaeton, " What sail can you carry ?" Answer,
" Double reefed topsails, reefed courses, and topgallant
sails." A similar signal to Arethusa. Answer, " Single-
reofed topsails, whole courses, topgallant sails, and
reefed royals if I require them." 8 40, signal—
prepare to try rate of sailing with all possible sail.
At 9 40 we started—the Phaeton with double-reefed top-
sailed, reefed courses, and no topgallant sails, as per
signal to the Commodore; the Arethusa carried the sail
as before mentioned, per signal. At the instant we
started, the Phaeton was on the lee•bow of the Are-
thusa, and the other frigates far astern, and to leeward.
It was a splendid sight; in about forty minutes the Are-
thusa brought the Phaeton on her lee quarter. It
was laughable to see the wind's eye frigate (Phaeton)
occasionally making a clear jump out of the water,
like a flying fish escaping the pursuit of a dolphin.
Finding herself going so fast, to leeward, and astern of
Arethusa, she sent hands aloft to loose topgallant sails;
fortunately for the crew, it was not done. The Are-
thusa at this time, being about one mile to windward,
received a very heavy squall, and heeled over to it in
beautiful style. After the worst of it passed the Are-
thusa, every eye was turned to the Phaeton to leeward,
anxious to see how she would receive it, when,
the instant it caught her, she became a complete wreck,
carrying away her jibboom, port bumpkin, a portion
of her cutwater, and topgallant sheets; it was melan-
choly to look at her—the sea occasionally making a
clean break over her. Commodore made signal to
close reef topsails and courses, blowing very
heavy. Commodore then made signal to Phaeton—
" When will you be ready to continue the trial?"
Answer—" I don't know." Commodore—" Can you
keep your station?" Answer—" No." A telegraph
of soma length of time took place between the
Commodore and the Phaeton ; at last she was
ordered to Plymouth or Portsmouth, as most con-
venient, to repair 2,0001. damage, whilst the Are-
thusa did not strain a rope. The Phaeton left us about
4 P.M. of the 19th, in the Bay of Biscay, where we
knocked about with heavy weather for several days.
When we arrived again in Lisbon on the 27th, we
were anxiously waiting the arrival of the mail from
England, to hear it she had arrived safe. The Phaeton
is a beautiful vessel in fine weather, and it is a pity that
she should be sent out of the English Channel in the
winter Leeson to encounter rough weather."

JERSEY ROYAL COURT.

MISS JULIA RUSH V. CARDINAL WISEMAN.

Our readers will doubtless remember this affair,
which came before the Royal Court on the sth inst.
The following is the mandate of justice in which
Miss Julia Rush specified her demands on, and sued
for compensation from, Cardinal Wiseman.
" Upon the remonstrance made to justice by Miss
Julia Rush, showing that in the year 1848 the com-
plainant, who professes the Roman Catholic religion,
having formed the design of establishing a religious
house called a convent, wrote to the very Rev. Nicholas
Wiseman, Doctor of Divinity, Bishop of MJipotamus,
to obtain his approbation and authority to put this pro-
ject in execution, and in the month of March, of the
same year, she received from him a letter, as follows:
" Dear Madame—l have at present time only to say
that I approve most sincerely of your pious design to
establish a religious house in Jersey, and I depute the
Rev. Mr. Cunningham, ecclesiastical superior, for the
purpose of carrying out your plan. When the fine
weather comes, I shall do myself the pleasure of person-
ally visiting the community.
"‘ Yours, very sincerely in Christ,

" Mrs. Butler.' (Signed) " N. WISEMAN.
"That in consequence the said complainant arranged
with the Rev. John Cunningham, who at that time ofi-
ciated at the chapel called St. Peter and St. Mary, who
took upon himself the choice of a ground proper for the
erection of this edifice, and recommended a house and
garden belongicg to Mr. George De La, Perrelle and
adjoining the property belonging to the said chapel;
that the said complainant having approved of this
choice, and the purchase price having ben regulated
with the said Sieur Do La, Perrelle, the acquisition was
made, and she gave to the said Mr. Cunningham the
sum of 100/. sterling to pay the consideration in money,
which was to effect the contract of purchase; that nub-
sequently the said complainant paid to Mr. Peter
Bourke, who had undertaken to build upon the said
ground the house and edifices necessary for the said
convent, the sum of 392/. sterling money of Great
Britain; that those buildings were commenced when
the said Rev. John Cunningham died; that in the
month of March, 1849, she learned that Mr.
Michael Cunningham, sole collateral heir to the
said deceased Rev. John Cunningham, his brother, had
by contract dated 3d October, 1848, made over and sold
in perpetuity to the Very Rev. Nicholas Wiseman,
Doctor in Divinity, to the Rev. George Talbot and to
the Rev. Jeremiah Donovan, all the estates which had
belonged to the said Rev. J. Cunningham, and amongst
othere the house and garden which the said deceased
bad taken and acquired from the said Mr. George De
La Perrelle, and in which gardea the construction of the
said convent had been begun; that the said complainant
was so much the more surprised that this property had
been thus transferred, without reserve, to the said Revs.
Wiseman, Talbot, and Donovan, as she had understood
it was to be transferred to the said Revs. Wiseman and
Talbot, and to the said complainant herself, conjointly
and all together; that the said complainant has expended
the considerable sums above mentioned for the estab-
lishment of the said convent, in consequence of the ap-
probation given to this establishment by the said Rev.
Nicholas Wiseman; who had deputed the said Rev. J.
Cunningham, ecclesiastical superior, to put into execu-
tion the project of the said complainant, but that since
the said Very Rev. Nicholas Wiseman had withdrawn
this approbation, so that the buildings in erection have
been discontinued. That the said Very Rev. Nicholas
Wiseman in withdrawing, for unfounded motives, from
the said complainant the above-mentioned authorization
has acknowledged that the said complainant ought to
be reimbursed the'money she has expended for the above
object, as asserted in one of his letters addressed to the
said complainant in the following terms:—
"' Mr. Cunningham, whose memory is so dear to
you, was the person who, as you yourself informed me,
had the property, &c., entirely in his own name. I have
disbursed payment, &c., for the legal transactions, and
money has been paid for the convent, borrowed on the
security or liability of the priests. Moreover, you can-
not make further advance to complete the buildings.
Let an account, therefore, be taken of all that you have
spent, and you shall have security of its repayment, with
interest, from the signing of the contract between us; I
will then look out fora community that will undertake
to refund you your money, and to carry on the esta-
blishment of a convent, of a recognised order, with
subjects ready to send at once, both to direct and to
feria it.'
" That notwith.tandiug this positive assurance, the
said complainant has not been able to obtain reimburse-
Merit of what she has ad taneni. That the said com-
p •Irnt cannot allow the said D. Wisetnen, by his own

NEW BRIDGE FOR INVERNESS.—The County Fi-
nance Committee have had several meetings lately, to con-
sider the Government proposal with regard to the erection
over the river Ness, on the site of the previous structure, dc-
stroyed by the flood of 1849. On Tuesday last, a communica-
tion from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, through the
medium of Mr. 11. J. Baillie, M.P,' came under consideration ;
and we understand the proposal has been unanimously ap-
proved of. It must still receive the sanction of the county,
but there is little doubt that the heritors generally will
assent to the' recommendation of their committee. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer offers a grant of one-half of the
expense, and to advance the other half on the principle of
the Drainage Act, at 61/2 per cent., to be raised by assess-
ment on the county. The town will thus secure a handsome
suspension bridge free of cost, and the public will have the
benefit of communication free of toll. The Chancellor of the
Exchequer has throughout the whole affair acted with great
liberality, and is entitled to the thanki of the northern com-
munity.— inverness Courier.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKh'UPICY, Jun. 4.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GouLnuu.N.)

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF NASH AND NEALE-THE

REIG ITE II 7: IC.

In this case the bankrupt, Thomas Neale, applied
for his certificate through his counsel, Mr. Bagley, hut
His HONOUR, adjourned the meeting until the result
of a claim against the separate estate of Nash made
by the assignees of the Maritime Assurance Cam-
pe.nycould be ascertained.

A bankrupt named Corven, who kept what is termed
" a cheap shop" in the Hampstead-road, appled fur
his certificate. Corven was a baker, and undersold
all his neighbours. Beginning with a small capital,
he failed considerably in debt, with nothing for his
creditors but the lease of the premises, value 5001.
The certificate was suspended for two years.
Mr. Hilleary appeared for the assignees, and re-
sisted the concession of protection, which was not
granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION--HO USE.

On Saturday Joseph Bassett was brought before
the Lord Mayor in the custody of Haydon, the officer,
charged with having robbed his employer=, Messrs.
Joseph and Albert Savory, of Nos. 47 and 44, Corn-
hill, of three clocks and a great number of musical
boxes.

Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Muliens, at-
tended for the prosecution, and said that, for the pur-
pose of making the case more clear to his Lordship,
he should briefly state the chief circumstances. The
prisoner had been hired by the late Mr. Thomas Cox
Savory, brother to those who constituted the present
firm, and a partner in the house, and had been treated
most confidentially by his employers, having been
appointed to the superintendence of the whole of the
business of the premises No. 54. A circumstance,
however, occurred which caused suspicion of the
honesty of the confidential servant, and it was ascer-
tained in a very short time that a large number of
musical boxes had been stolen, and that pieces of wood,
made into the form and size of the boxes, had been
substituted for them. The prisoner was, when the
robbery was disclosed to the establishment, appre-
hended, and Haydon, the officer, would state sufficient
to justify a remand until a more complete investiga-
tion could be made.

Mr. John Thomson, shopman and clerk to Messrs.
Savory, at their residence, No. 47, in Cornhill, said—
I went by the direction of my employers on the 11th
of December to their warehouse, No. 54, to assist in
taking stock, and I saw the prisoner there, and I
entered the stock in a book which I now produce.
The prisoner called the articles out. I entered under
the head of musical boxes about 169, and I also en-
tered a number of clocks. The stock in No. 54 con-
sists entirely of clocks and musical boxes. 1 produce
two cases which were supposed to be musical boxes.
These are empty cases which should contain musical
boxes. The handwriting on them is the prisoner's.
I produce two other papers or covers, containing
blocks of wood, the covers made to resemble the real
cases. There are three of these blocks of wood here.
After this taking of the stock on the 11 th I returned
to No. 47, the principal shop. Tne next time I went
to No. 54 was last night. I went then to take stock
according to directions, and I found all these things
in the state in which they now are. lam satisfied in
my own mind as to the state in which the stock wa3
on the I lth of December. On taking stock last night
I find the deficiency between the 11th of December
and the 3d of January to be in small musical boxes,
40, value SG/. 145.; in large musical boxes, six, value
321. Os. 6d., which, together with the deficiency of
four clocks, value 171. 193., gave a total deficiency of
1061. 13s. 6d.

The LORD MAYOR—You say you entered stock
to the prisoner's calling out on the 11th of Decem-
ber ? Witness—Yes, to a certain extent.

The LORD MAYOR—Did you ever know of any
stock being in this ca.e (pointing to one of the empty
cases) Witness—Never.

The LORD MAYOR—It is not the practice of the
house to have dummies on the shelves ? Witness—
It is not.

The LORD MAYOR—These, then, might, for any
anything you know, have been there on the 11th of
December ? Witness—Yes.

The Loab MAYOR.--I would, in the case of taking
stock, have directed that the person calling out should
not be the person who had the stock under his care.
Did the prisoner give security to his employers upon
going into his situation ? Witness—l do not know.
I have given security to them.
Mr. Savory (one of the partners) here said, the
prisoner did not give any security. He had been
taken by his late brother, and great confidence was
reposed in him.
The prisoner (to the witness)—What clocks are
missing ? Witness—A. marble clock, at 6 guineas ;
a foreign bracket, at 6/.; one foreign alarm, at 505.;
and another at 635.

The prisoner—They were right, I know, on the
11th of December.

Mr. Wrathall, also a shopman in the service of
Messrs. Savory, said—l entered the service of my
employers in February. I then was at No. 9, Cornhill.
I am now on duty at No. 54, Cornhill, into which
premises I went on the 18th of December, and I re-
main there in charge of the stock. The prisoner was
there, and I received the stock from him. I received
no book from him. I kept my own books. I see the
things produced. I never saw such articles as dum-
mies or empty boxes on the premises. I discovered
these (pointing to the pieces of wood in the shape of
music-boxes) myself, when taking them out of the
window to show a customer. I think it was on Fri-
day, the 20th of December, I took one from the win-
dove, and found that it was a piece of wood. From
that discovery I considered it necessary to have the
stock taken altogether. The sum of my discovery
was three dummies and three empty cases.
The LORD MAYOR—What did you du after making
this discovery on the 20th of December ?
Witness—l mentioned it on the following morning
to my fellow-assistant, who advised me to represent
it to Mr. Sansom, who is at No. 47, Cornbill, in order
to have stock taken. I went, not to Mr. Sansom, but
to Mr. M'Culloch, the cashier, and told him, from
what I had seen, I wished to have the stock taken. I
gave the cashier notice to that effect on Saturday.
The prisoner, upon being asked whether he wishedl
to ask the witness any questions, replied in thei
negative.
Michael Haydon, the officer, was then sworn. He
said—l apprehended the prisoner at No. 2, Milford-
grove, Old Kent-road, in a house occupied by hint
and his mice and five children. I told him I was an
officer, and that I called at the instance of his lute
employers, Messrs. Savory and Co , to make inquirivs
respecting some musical boxes and clocks that had
been stolen from their warehouse under circum-
stances which rendered it necessary that I should asli
him a few questions about it. He was very inue
agitated, and could scarcely speak. At last he nail,
" I know nothing about them. You are welcome .10
search my house. You will find nothing here." I
searched the place, and received from the prisoner's
wife the two duplicates produced for clocks. I asked
him what answer I should consider he made to my
inquiries, and I told him that, in justice to him-
self, if he was innocent, he ought to clear the matter
up. lie then burst out crying, and said, " I todk
some of the things ; God Almighty knows it was fear e
want I did it. Pray intercede for me, and say wise t
you see here," and he looked round the room, whic,n
certainly was in a wretched condition. He continuo:l',
"I never could have done it if I had been batter paae.t.
I have a wife and five children, and but 1/. Bs. a week,
which is not sufficient to keep them."
The prisoner—l also said I hid a small commis-
sion of fourpence in the pound upon what I sold.

Haydon—There was not a word said by the pri..
soner about a commission. He distinctly said that
all be had from his employers was 285. a week.
Mr. Bush at once proved, and the prisoner did not
deny the fact, that the prisoner had his board and at
commission upon all he sold, as well as the 28s. a,
week from his employers.

The LORD MAYOR said he was glad that such an
explanation had taken place, and remanded the pri-
soner till next week.
GUILDHALL.
A respectable-looking man, about thirty years of
age, answering to the name of William Daniels, but
who has at various times gone under the names of
" Thomas Kittner" and W. D. Bosse, highly re-
spectable gentlemen living in Cornwall, was brought
up before Alderman Lawrence, charged with uttering
forged mining shares.
Mr. Thomas Fuller, mining sharebroker, of 48,
Threadneedle-street, said that he received a letter
from the prisoner purporting to come from a Mr. W.
D. Boase, the purser of the Wheal Mary Anne, near
Liskeard, in Cornwall, stating that he (prisoner) had
some shares in that mine to sell, and desiring him
(witness) to dispose of them for him. He (prisoner),
in his letter, referred witness to another broker as to
his known respectability. Prisoner said be wanted
50/. per share. Witness wrote to him, saying he
would dispose of the shares as soon as he (prisoner)
should be able to send him the transfer. Witness re-
ceived a letter in answer enclosing the transfer of the
shares, purporting to be signed by I,lr. Boase. Wit-
ness sold the shares for the prisoner, and sent the
transfer into the umntry, but having since found out
that it was a forgery, he had made good the shares to the
purchaser. Witness called at the Old Bell, in Holborn,
to see the prisoner, but hs liras not within, and he (wit-
ness) paid the landlord of the house 501., who after-
wards paid it to the prisoner. Prisoner had given in-
struction to the landlord to get cash only for the
shares, and when witness offered a cheque it was
refused, and cash was ultimately paid. Mr. Boase,
of the Wheal Mary Anne Mine, had been communi-
cated with, and his reply was that the shares were
forged, and that the prisoner Daniels had committed
the forgery, as the transfer was in his (prisoner's)
handwriting.

"William Bunyer, of the Old Bell Hotel, said he
knew the prisoner. He had ireqth,nted ills huti,e
lately and represented himself as Mr. Boase, and also
as a friend of an old customer of w•itneas'r. Witness
received the 501. from the luE,t witness, and paid it
over to the prisoner. He saw the prisoner write the
receipt he now produced. It was signed " William B.
B )a,se."

Alderman LAWRENCE, on comparing the receipt
and the letter alleged to have been written by the
prisoner to Mr. Fuller, said that he thought they
were both evidently written by the same person, and
from the last witness's statement there could be no
doubt but that the prisoner was the man.
Daniel May, a detective officer, said there were
several other cases against the prisoner, and that he
only wanted a little time to bring witnesses up from
the country to prove them against the prisoner. He
had also been given to understand that prisoner had
lately (about six weeks ago) been married to a young
girl in the country, and that he also had another wife
alive at the time. The other name the prisoner had
adopted, "Thomas Kittner," was the name of a gen-
tleman who acted as treasurer to the above mine, and
well known in the mining share market. Under all
these circumstances he applied for a remand, in order
to collect the necessary evidence to substantiate the
charge against the prisoner.
Alderman LAWRENCE then remanded the prisoner
till next week, and he was accordingly removed from
the bar.

Henry Harwood was charged before Mr. Hardwick
with a burglary in the house of Mrs. Cheratt, No. 24,
Soho-square.
James Booth said he was coachman to Mrs. Cheratt,
who occupied the whole of the house in Soho-square,
with the exception of the shop, which was let to a
person named Newman. As his mistress was an in-
valid, and very timid, he had been requested to sleep
in the middle drawing-room, where a considerable
quantity of plate was usually kept. About two o'clock
that morning he was awakened by a noise, and on
looking about he saw the front drawing-room door,
which usually stood open, pulled to. Being surprised
at this he sat up in bed, and in a minute or two after-
wards he saw the door leading to the landing opened
by a strange man. He got out of bed and seized the
intruder. A struggle ensued, and the man made to-
wards the window in the front drawing-room, and
jumped out on the portico. Witness followed, and
seized the man again, and called loudly for the police.
The man got from his grasp, and tumbled off the
portico, head foremost, on the foot pavement. Wit
ness then heard a voice say, " I have got him, sir."
On going down stairs witness found it was the police-
constable, who had been attracted by the noise, and
who came up just in time to secure the prisoner.
Witness had his shirt torn to pieces in the struggle
with the prisoner.
Thomas West, police-constable, said he heard a cry
of " Police." He saw the front window open, and a
man jump out, followed by another man. He wit.
nessed the struggle between the persons on the top of
the portico, and. he saw the prisoner fall off on the pave-
ment. The prisoner appeared much hurt, and very
faint. Witness took him to the station-house, and on
searching him he found only a few lucifer matches.
Witness went back to the house to ascertain in what
way the prisoner had obtained an entrance. He
found that the prisoner had climed up the portico, and
had got in at the first floor window, there being marks
of fingers on the top of the portico, which left no
doubt that this was the way an entrance had been
effected.

The prisoner denied being the man.
Mr. flARDwIcx complimented the coachman for the
courage he had displayed in this dangerous affair, and
then fully committed the prisoner for trial.
CLERKEN WELL.

Henry Kendall, dentist and chiropodist, of No. 14,
Brunswick square, was finally examined, charged by
Elizabeth Reed, aged 18, his servant, with having
violated her under circumstances of an extraordinary
nature.

The prosecutrix, it appeared, entered the service
of the accused in October last, as servant of all work,
and remained there until last Friday week. On that
day the wife of the prisoner left home, and during
her absence the witness went to make her mistress's
bed in the upper part of the house, and, whilst thus
engaged the prisoner entered the apartment, locked
and bolted the door, and endeavoured to throw her on
a bed and effect his purpose. She struggled and re •
sisted him until he tripped her up, when he accom-
plished his object. She did not mention what had
taken place to her mistress, or to any one else, until
the following Tuesday. She then informed a Mrs.
Henson, with whom she was in the habit of lodging
when out of a situation, who accompanied ber to the
residence of Mr. Rendall, and asked him what recom-
pence he could make for the injury he had done, when
he indignantly repelled the accusation in the presence
,of his wife, saying they wanted to extort money from
him. They then came to this court for a• warrant,
and were referred by the magistrate to the police, and
she gave him in custody for the felony, and prose-
.cuted him on Wednesday last before Mr. Tvrrwhitt,
when the court was crowded to suffocation. The pro-
secutrix, whose appearance is foreign, gave her evi-
dence with an appearance of artless simplicity, and, at
the termination of the hearing, the prisoner was or-
dered to find heavy and responsible security for his
appearance on this day.
A report of the proceedings having appeared in the
newspapers, led to a suspicion that the prosecutrix
had been in the habit of trumping up such charges
against her masters, and numerous letters have been
forwarded to the office of the !prisoner's professional
adviser, Mr. Humphre3s, exposing her conduct.
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, now attended for the
prisoner, and the following extraordinary examination
ensued :
She having been sworn, Mr. Clarkson said—Now,
Miss Elizabeth Reed, bow long is it since you last
saw me in a a police-court ? Witness—f don't
recollect. _ _

Mr. Clarkson—Come come, Miss Reed, refresh
your memory, or I will for you. Did you not two
years ago make a similar charge against Mr. Wil-
liams, of Regent's park, at Marylebone Police-court ?
Prosecutrix (after considerable hesitation) admitted
such to be the fact, and that she had made similar
charges against others.
Mr. Clarkson said he could prove that in five in-
stances • adding, that from the age of 15 she had
exhibited charges of that description, under circum-
stances that would disgust our readers. He remem-
bered very well the case of Mr. Williams, and had
his brief, with notes then before him. The prosecu-
trix denied facts which could be incontestably con,
firmed by Mr. Williams on the occasion referred
to. That charge was dismissed.
Mr. Clarkson—Pray, Miss Reed, did you some time
ago live in Belfast ?—She said yes.
Mr. Clarkson—Did you not charge a gentleman
there with rape ? Prosecutrix—l did not tell Mr.
Dennison (her then master) so.
Mr. Clarkson—Come now, be careful, Miss Reed.
Did you not tell Mr. Dennison that a gentleman
whom you had so charged had given you 201. to
come to England? Prosecutrix—l did not tell
him so.
Mr. Dennison said such was the fact, and he could
prove it.
In answer to further questions, she admitted that
she charged a man named Gooseberry, a coffeeshop-
keeper, with rape not long ago, and that a similar
accusation she made against a Mr. Stowe ; that she
had been charged with lying and other misconduct.
Mr. Clarkson said he could call witnesses to prove
that the witness was altogether devoid of credit ; and,
under the circumstances, he submitted there was not
sufficient to warrant a committal for trial.

Mr. TYRWHITT remarked that a magistrate was
involved in a difficult and delicate position. The
prosecutrix had sworn to the fact, and that, coupled
with the evidence of Dr. Robertson, the house-sur-
geon of the Royal Free Hospital, who said the offence
had been effected, induced him to feel in duty bound
to send the case before a jury.
Mr. Clarkson said he must bow to the decision of
the bench, and applied to have his client bailed.
The worthy MAGISTRATE said, from what bad
come out that day his opinion was far from adverse
to the prisoner, whom he would liberate on the secu-
rity of one howekeeper in 501., and his own recog-
nizance in 1001., to take his trial at the ensuing Old
Bailey sessions.

The necessary security being taken, the prisoner
left with his friends.

ZUNCHESTER, JAN.

luring the week the trade

has maintained the same monotonous tone so frequenti
repel-Led ut itl, r, alai) (PCCo,loi.tli to necesviror
buyers being practicable in any article. On the who
therefore, the tran.ractions have been to a very limit
amount; but prices can scarcely be said to have suffer
any further reduction. From Ireland the imports
oats and oatmeal into Liverpool and Runcorn are th
week but very moderate, whilq of other articles th
are exceedingly scanty; and from our own coast there a'
no arrivals worth naming. From abroad, however, CO'
sidereb:e supplies of wheat and flour have again been r.
ceived, with a fair quantity of beans. At our mark
this morning a continuance of inactivity prevaile.
caused by an indisposition on the part of the deals
and bakers to increase their stocks of any article, and a
equal reluctance on the part of holders to force sales 1
more than a very moderate concession in prices, and I
material variation from the currency of this day se'
night can consequently be noted.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 2.—The numbe
at our market t')-day were—oxen, 604; sheep, 1,763. 45

demand, and sales were easily effected. Best ox bsr

small supply of sheep, stiles were briskly effected, ar
in favour of the seller. Best aged wethers 51d, mere,

CORK, JAN. 3.
_

We have to report some further arrivals of foreign
grain, which, added to the large importations previous])
announced, have had the effect of depressing still furthe
the trade in foreign wheat. The stocks of this grain ar
now unprecedentedly large, and to this cause may b'.
mainly ascribed the depression in the article which not
exists. The supply of home grain has been exceeding])
moderate, the receipts for the week being only:—Wheat
234 brls, at 17s to 21s per brl; barley, 941 brls, at 10
6d to 12s 4d per brl; oats, 3,396 brie., at 8s to 10a 6d pet
brl. With the small quantity of grain arriving to mar
ket we have little or no variation to report in tit.
value of any article of produce. In foreign wheat, as we
have before remarked, but little business has been done•
although prices are manifestly in favour of the purchaser.
In prepared barley the few transactions that have Woe
place have been at last week's rates. Oats cad
scarcely be said to have maintained their value. The
sales that have been made were but to a moderate ex-
tent, though some slight concession has been made bY
holders. We quote the value of black, 9s 6d to 9s 94;
that of white, 10s 63 to lOs 9d per barrel. The flour
trade has been very dull and lifeless at last week's prices'
The business passing in Indian corn is on the most re'
stricted and retail scale, but without any quotable alto:
ration in value. Indian meal continues totally neglected.
