" Passengers arriving at the port of Wew York with
the intention of proceeding tp the interior'
their stay in tire city as short as possible, order to
save money. It will generally not be necessary for
them to go to any hotel or inn, but the ;should make
pasea bse-tickets
to the interior can be bought immediately, and t`te bag-
gage be at once removed from the ship to the Liesm-
boat, tow-boar, or railroad, some one of which starts
every day throughout the year. This course saves not
only much money for board, lodging, and carting, tilt
also prevents many occasions for fraud. If passenger's
go to an inn or boarding-house, they should see at once
whether a list of prices for board and lodging is posted
up for their inspection, as is required by law. Never
employ a cart that has no number painted on it, and be
careful to note down the number. Always make a b sr-
gainfoyrcuthrg priceobags
to be paid before engaging a cart ,to
carry
orstagnec.e cThect overpric h allowedaeifa
mile byi law33c
.foarc
and
cartload any
for each additional half mile one-third more. Among
the impositions practised on emigrant passengers none is
more common than an overcharge in the rates of pasetsgo
to the interior, against which there is no protection,
except by a close attention to the following remarks, as ll
by insisting on a strict adherence on the part of for
warders to the scale of prices established by the mayor
of the city of New York and the Commissioners of Emi-
gration, which will be found below. There are two
principal routes to the interior from New York; one is
by way of Albany and Buffalo, or by the New York
and Erie Railroad. The passage from New York to
Albany costs from 25c. to 50c. (half a dollar). From
Albany there are two modes of conveyance to Buffalo---
one by canal, which takes from seven to ten days, at li-
dolls.• the other by railroad, going through in 36 hours,
at 4 dolls.; and no higher prices should be paid. The
route to the south and west is by way of Philadelphia
and Pittsburg. The passage from New York to Phila-
delphia is 1 doll. 50c., and from there to Pittsburg S
to 5 dolls., making from New York to Pittsburg from
4 dolls. 50c. to 6 dolls. 50e. There is also a route to
Pittsburg by way of Albany in the summer season,
which will cost 5 dolls. 50c. On all these routes pas-
sengers have to find their own provisions, and, conse-
quently, the difference in the cost between travelling by
canal and railroad is not as great as it appears at first, as
the passengt rs by canal have to pay for a week's provi-
sions more than those travelling by railroad, beside*
losing time and being longer exposed to fraud. Pas-
sengers are advised in no event to engage their passage
to distant small places that do not lie on the main route,
but only to engage to the nearest main station, and
from there to make a new engagement to their final
place of destination. If not differently advised by the
Emigration Seciety, and in all cases when the passen-
gers have not been able to consult these societies, they
should never engage passage further than iuffalte
or Pittsburg, and there make a new contract. Other-
wise, their passage-tickets, though paid for, may prove
good for nothing. Passengers are cautioned that ba;i-
gage is very often stolen, end the owners should al-
ways keep an eye upon their effects, and not allow
themselves to be enticed or bullied into giving the
transportation of them to irresponsible people, or going
into boarding-houses or forwarding offices not of their
own free selection. Emigrants should always decide,
immediately upon their arrival, what they will do before
they spend their small remaining means in the board-
ing-house, and they should generally proceed at once
on their journey while they have the means. On their
arrival here they should not give ear to any represents..
tions nor enter into any engagements without obtaining
first the advice and corm:el of either the Commissioners
of Emigration, or the Emigrant Society of the nation
to which they belong, or its Consul ; and in inquiring
for the office of the society, or Consul, or Commis-
sioners, they should be careful not to be carried to the
wrong place. There are many individuals sufficiently
unscrupulous intentionally to mislead the stranger. If
the latter, for instance, inquire after the agency
of the German Society, or the Irish Emigrant Society,
the person applied to will say that he is the agent,
or that he will take the stranger to the office of the
German Society; but, instead of doing so, will take him
to a place where he is almost sure to be defrauded. As
a general rule, if the emigrant is urged to take passage,
or has to pay for the advice he asks, he may take it for
granted that he is not at the place where he wishes to
be; and be should bear in mind to look for the name of
the persons or office be is in search of at the door of the
house into which he is shown. All the foreign consuls
and the emigrant societies, as well as the Commissioners
of Emigration, have signs over the doors of their offices.
The office of the German Society is No. 55, Greenwich-
street; of the Irish Emigrant Society at No. 29, Reade-
street; and of the Commissioners of Emigration in one
of the public edifices of the city, in the Park. N.B. The
Commissioners earnestly advise all emigrants who bring
money with them to deposit it as soon as they arrive in
the Emigrant ludthtrial Savings-bank, No. 51, Cham-
bers-street, opposite the Park. This institution was
established by the Legislature for the express purpose of
affording to emigrants a safe place of deposit for their
moneys, which tney can draw out at pleasure whenever
tilt), want it; and, after a certain period, with interest
added to it. Never keep money about your person, or
in your trunks. Evil persons may rob or commit worse
crimes upon you. Take it to the savings-bank. Pas-
sengers while travelling should always be provided with
small silver change, as they may otherwise be more
easily cheated on the way. Never take bank-notes, if
you can avoid it, until you are able to judge of their
value for yourselves, as there are many counterfeit and
broken bank-notes in circulation. What is called a
shilling in America is not more than sixpence sterling."

RIVAL STEAM-VESSELS.
THE THAMES VERSUS THE CLYDE.—Considerable
interest has been excited by statements in the public
prints as to the merits of the Jupiter, the celebrated
Gravesend steamer, belonging to the Star Company,
and built by Miller, Revenhill, and Salkeld, of Black-
wall, and has been running for three years ; and the
Tourist, a new steam-packet, built at Dumbarton by
Messrs. Denny. A trial took place on Wednesday,
the 13th instant, when the Jupiter proved her supe-
riority, and maintained her character as the fastest
vessel on the Thames. The Tourist, having got, up
her steam at Westminster, went to Blackwall, possi-
bly expecting the Jupiter would his running on her
usual station ; but the Star Company having heard of
the Tourist's intention, had the Jupiter waiting for her
at Blackwell, which, when the former saw, she turned
back and ran up the river. The Jupiter then followed
her to the buoy at the Victualling-yard, Deptford,when
Captain Smith went on board and-repeated his chal-
lenge to her to run. This the owners declined, and
the Jupiter returned to her moorings at Blackwell.
About half an hour later the Tourist passed Blackwall
with her jack flying. This, being the usual Thames
challenge signal, the Jupiter loused from her moor-
ings, but by the time she got her head straight the
Tourist had entered Woolwich Reach, thus gaining s
start of six or seven minutes; nevertheless away went
the Jupiter. Off Greenhithe, the Tourist, finding
the Jupiter within six or seven boats' length of her,
to prevent being passed, made fast to the Government
moorings there, and again declined to run, saying
they would send a challenge some other day. Thus
the " shine" has been pretty well taken out of the
fictitious character of the Tourist, and it appears very
likely that, after having been chased out of the
Thames, she will go back to Scotland to her native
obscurity.—Herald.

the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.0711, it
follows that gold is about the same price in London as
in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 426 i per mark,
which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 13.51] ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on Lon-
don at short being 13.'4, it follows that gold is 0.41 per
cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of
exchange at New York on London for bills at €0 days' sight
is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being IN 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England;
but after making allowance for difference of interest and I
charges of transport, the present rate leaves scarcely any
profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

KILLING WEEDS ON GRAVEL WALILS..-The best
thing to kill small weeds and lichen on fine-rolled gravel-
walks, is vitriolic acid; the common metersl used in
manufactories at about a chilling a gallon. Get an old
thrum-mop, and dip it in a bucket of water infused with
about a quart of the acid, or as mu,h more as you choose to
afford; lightly dab the wetted mop on the top of the weeds
on the walk, and the acid will effectually kill them. Avoid
the box edgings by using as little liquid as possible. But the
ladies' dresses and shoes are in danger from the operation,
the walk should be stopped up until a good shower of rain
falls, or if you get a bucket of water the next day, infused
with common washing soda, and apply it in the came
manner with a mop (but rather more plentifully), you
neutralise and render harmless the acid not until after it has
killed the weeds. This does not refer to thoroughly untidy
walks full of weeds, but to neat walks partially infected
with them. Cottage Gardener.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN ClRCUlll—Liverpool, Aug. 23.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr.-134r0n PLATT.)
William James Chew and John Smith were in-
dicted for conspiring, together with other evil dis-
posed persons, to defraud Pedro Wilson and others,
and also for holding mock auctions and obtaining
moneys by false pretences.
Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Milward appeared for the
prosecution ; Mr. Joseph Pollock defended Smith,
and Mr. James defended Chew.

Pedro Wilso❑ stated that he was a second purser in
the Peruvian navy, and that on the 13th of June, as
he was going down Castle-street, Liverpool, he saw a
man standing at the door of a shop who asked him to
walk in. There was an auction going on, Chew being
the auctioneer and Smith amongst the buyers. The
first thing witness bought was a gold chronometer,
which Smith took in his hand and opened, and said, " It
is a very good watch, I will give you 51. for it;" to which
Chew replied to Smith, " You had better go out of
my shop, you want to buy everything cheap." Chew
then advised witness to bid and Smith bid against
him ; he then bid again and Smith did the acme, he
then bid again, and the watch was knocked down to
him for 71. 155., and Chew said to him, " It's your
watch." Another watch was then put up, which was
stated to be equal in quality to the last. Chew re-
commended witness to bid, and Smith bid ageing
him, and it was eventually knocked down to witness
for 71.55. A watch and chain, which were said to
belong to a Mr. Taylor, were then put up. Smith
bid Si., and upon Chew recommending wit-
ness to bid, as it was the best watch of the
lot, is was knocked down to him for 71. 15s ; another
watch was then put up, which was knocked
down to him for 81. After this, his money being all
gone, witness left a deposit, and went to his betel to
get some more money, and on his return another watch
was put up, which Chew said was the very best in his
shop. Smith bid four times for it, and witness bid
three, and then Chew said that if witness did not bid
Smith would get it from him, and then he bid again,
and it was knocked down to him for 91. He after-
wards found that the watches were worthless, and
having obtained a police officer he went back to the
auction room, but it was shut up.
Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—Thought he was
making a good speculation, having bought the watches
to sell to his friends. Had never seen a chronometer
watch before. Chew said that the watches were chro-
nometer balance watches.

Richard Trigge, a brushmaker, employed by Chew
as a "sweetener," was examined at great length. He
stated that he was employed at 16s. wages weekly,
and a commission on the articles sold. He had been
in the habit of bidding and buying at sales, by direc-
tion of Chew, who furnished him with money for the
purpose. The articles so bought were always re-
turned. A man named Myers was employed in the
same way as himself, and several other persons also
received money to bid and pay for goods. The auc-
tioneers were exchanged several times during the
day. After Clarke and Cochrane were engaged as
auctioneers, another sale-room was opened, and three
auctioneers went from one sale-room to another.
When strangers came in the auctioneer, or the men
employed, would cry out, "A. mark !" Sometimes
California sovereigns were given by Chew and the
other auctioneers to buy goods with. When he (wit-
ness) or his companions induced any one to purchase,
they got a commission, which was paid at the end of
the week. Witness had received wages as well from
Smith as from Chew. The names of the seen men-
tioned by the witness as being engaged in the same
" line" as himself were, Roberts, Myers, Harris,
James, and Provost. Placards were placed in the
rooms representing the goods as bankrupt's stock, and
when strangers came in Chew, represented the goods
as such. Oa the occasion of Mr. King, the druggio,
buying, the goods were represented. The bankrupt
was said to be Mr. Taylor.

The JUDGE—Was Mr. Taylor always the bank-
rupt ? Witness—Re was generally.—(Laughter.)
It was Mr. Taylor's watch in num,rous instances.
The JUDGE—Poor Mr. Taylor!—(Laughter.)
Witness—The watches were generally said to be-
long to Mr. Taylor.—(Laugher.) Sometimes they
changed the name to Rigby.—(Laughter.)
Examination continued—On one occasion the
shutters were partly put up as though somebody was
dead, and Chew, at the commencement of the sale,
announced that the bankrupt was dead.—(Roars of
isughter.) This circumstance was mentioned through-
out the day, and there were very good sales.—(Loud
laughter.)

knowing fellow, on observing this directly bids 40/. ;
forty-five, says the gentleman ; fifty, says the know-
ing one ; fifty-five, says the gentleman ; down goes
the hammer, and the gentleman becomes the fortunate
possessor of the beautiful steed. He takes it home to
his lady, when the brute turns out not to be worth
half the money given for him, and the gentleman has
been done; but was the auctioneer and his Yorkshire
friend in this case to be indicted for conspiracy ?
Why, could such be done all of that diverting frater-
nity who travelled the country for the diversion of
her Majesty's lieges might be indicted for conspiracy.
A little boy goes to a show, and the exhibitor bawls
out, "Be in time! be in time! Within you will see
the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea, and
the escape of the Israelites therefrom. Be in time !
be in time!" The curiosity of a juvenile standing
near is aroused, and an a-sistant of the showman's
seeing this tells him that really what has been asserted
is a fact—one of the grandest sights ever witnessed is
to be seen within. Thus incited, the youth pays his
halfpenny and goes in, when being dis.ipphinted in not
really seeing the wonders announced, he enters his
protest against the fraud in not really seeing the Egyp-
tians drowned ; upon this the bland showman compla-
cently says, " Tney were drowned, my little dear,
just before you came in."—(Laughter.) Fatal in-
stance of the evil of procrastination.—(Laughter.)
Was the exhibitor and his friend in such a cis(' to be
charged with conspiracy ? He (Mr. Pollock) would
relate to them an anecdote told him by a friend re•
siding in Ireland. In Killarney, at a hurling match,
one Tim O'Laughlin received a fracture of one of his
legs by reason of the hurl coming in contact with it.
Tim's friends immt procumd a stretcher, and
carried their wounded companion, to have his leg set.
On the way they met a carriage, containing an
English gentleman, approaching, and, on coming ups
being desirous to make something by the job, ac-
costed him, telling him that the man on the stretcher,
was poor Tins O'Laughlin, one of the finest boys in
all the counthry round, who had just been kilt by a
hurl, and hid left a wire and five young children, with
not so much as would procure a candle to put at the
foot of the bed for the wake. Tim all this time lies
perfectly deed on the stretcher. The Englishman,
being touched, puts his hand in his pocket, draws out
a sovereign, and says, " There, that's towards the
funeral." " Long life to your honour !" and a score
of hands are stretched out to seize the sovereign.
Tim, finding that in the scramble, he may be left
mieus, raises himself up, and says, " Don't you think,
your honour, you'd better let the deceased have a
thrifle for himself ?"—(Loud laughter) Now here,
on the principle of the present prosecution, was a fine
case for an indictment for a conspiracy. Mr. Pollock
went on to contend that none of the counts charged
could be maintained.

His LORDSHIP, in summing up, instructed the jury
that if they thought the prisoners conspired, by false
pretences and representations, to cheat persons who
attended the sale by giving them rubbish instead of
goods, which they sold as such, then the conspiracy
was made out ; but if they thought it was possible
that the prisoners might have opened the establish-
ment to sell goods at a fair price, and had no inten-
tion to cheat, they ought to find them not guilty ; and,
if they had any reasonable doubt on these points, they
must give them in favour of the prisoners.
The jury, after a retirement from court of twenty
minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty against both
prisoners of conspiring to defraud the three persons
named in the indictment, and all who frequented the
sale-room.

Mr. Pot. Loci( then moved in arrest of judgment
upon the Ist, 4tb, 7th, and 11th counts of the indict-
ment upon which the prisoners had been found guilty,
the objection being that those counts stated tha
the prisoners had conspired to defraud with other
evil disposed p, rsons, but did not state the names of
those persona, er allege that they were to the jurors
unknown.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
Wulf SHIP-SIREET.
Daniel ill`Dermott, a man dressed like a sailor, bu\
described es a hawker, was charged with a robbery
upon a young woman named Sarah Jacobs, housemaid
in the service of Dr. Power, a physician in Finsbury-
square.
The complainant stated, that while engaged in the
kitchen of her master's house about three o'clock in
the afternoon, she was beckoned up the area steps by
the prisoner, who told her that he bad just come off a
long voyage, and having purchased a handsome
shawl for his sister, whom he bad not been able to
meet with, was anxious to sell it, if he could, as he
was very short of money. He then displayed before
her a shawl of a showy pattern and colours, and
agreed to sell it to her for five shillings, upon condi-
tion that she would let him have it back again if he
should be fortunate enough to discover where his
sister resided. She assented to this arrangement,
handed him the five shillings, received the shawl, and
the prisoner went away; about two days afterwards,
however, in the evening, he beckoned her up again,
and, telling her that be had had an offer of 2/.
for the shawl, expressed his hope that she would let
him have it, and he would return her the five shil-
lings she had paid him. She expressed her readiness
to do so, and fetching the article from her boxes,
a-ked for her money. The prisoner requested
that she would just throw the shawl open, that he
might see it was the same, but the instant she had done
so he snatched it out of her hand, thrust it into his
pocket, and walked off with it. She, however,
pursued bim, demanding her money or the shawl, but
the prisoner told her he could not pay her, as he had
not got the 55., and with regard to her purchasing
the shawl for so small a sum, it was entirely false, as
the ss. was only an instalment of its value, and that
she had agreed to give him 16s. more. This was a
pure fabrication, and, on finding he could cot get
away from her, he offered her two or three worthless
white handkerchiefs in exchange, but she refused to
receive them, and as, after following him a long dis-
tance, she could neither get the shawl nor the money,
she gave bim into the custody of the first policeman
she met.
Allen, a constable of the G division, stated that,
seeing a large crowd collected in Union-street, he
went up to ascertain the cause of it, and found the
prisoner endeavouring to escape from the young
woman, who was holding him by the arm and charg-
ing him with robbing her: Upon taking him into
custody and searching him the shawl he bad sold to
Dr. Power's servant was found in one pocket, while
in another was a quantity of petty articles of haber-
dashery, together with a regular hawker's licence.
On the road to the station he begged the witness to
allow him to sell the shawl, which he said he could
dispose of for 255., and he would then return the pro-
secutrix's money, hut the witness refused to accede to
any such course, and lodged him in the station.
Mr. Vann, who now appeared for the defence, con-
tended that the evidence was wholly insufficient to
warrant his client's committal upon such a charge,
and pointed out the apparent improbability of his
selling the shawl for such a sum as that described;
but the magistrate did not view it in the same light,
and the depositions having been in great part taken
by Mr. Vine, the chief-clerk, the prisoner was or-
dered;to be finally committed for their completion.
Henry Gregory, a printer's joiner, who stood re-
manded upon the charge of feloniously causing the
death of a young man named Dutton, potman in the
service of a publican in Hoxton-square, was then
brought up for final examination.
The deceased, it may be recollected, met his death
in the course of a pugilistic encounter with the pri-
soner, to whom he had offered great provocation, and
who at the end of the fifth or sixth round struck him
so violent a bloat under the ear that he instantly
dropped into the arms of one of the bystanders, and
never moved again.
Mr. Sydenhati Watson, a surgeon in the New
North-road, now deposed to having made a post ,
mortem examination of the body of the deceased on
the 20th instant, and that his opinion clearly was that
the death had resulted from an effusion of blood upon
the brain, which had caused the rupture of a blood-
vessel, consequent upon the infliction of some violent
blow or bloat. He also found, upon further exami-
nation, that the third rib on the left side had been
broken, and on various parts of the body be dis-
, covered numerous contusions, some of which were
very severe.
The prisoner, who ;had all through expressed ex. ,
treme regret for the occurrence, now intimated his
intention to reserve his defence, and was fully corn-1 bslll' th

Mr. King said that in April be attended a sale and
saw the prisoners there. He bought two watches
from Chew in February, which were described as
being jewelled and having chronometer balances. He
paid 71. for one of the articles, and 61. for the other.
He received a guarantee paper stating that the watches
were jewelled in ten holes, and gold case, and were
warranted to go well.—(Laughter.) Chew after-
wards sold the 71. watch for him, and he (witness)
lost 20s. by it. He again attended the sale, and a
watch was put up, for which Trigge and Bamford bid
against, and when it got up to 71., it was knocked
4c:own to him (witness). Another watch was knocked
down to Trigge for 71. 55., on which he deposited a
sovereign. Bamford went out of the shop and asked
him (Mr. King) to bid at a watch for him, which he
did. He purchased the watch for 51, but Bamford
would not take it from him, and an allowance, in con-
sequence, was made upon a watch which he (witness)
bought on the following day for 61. 15s. Subse-
quently one of the watches which was purchased for
71. was sold by Chew to Smith for 61. 7s. 6d. The
money for this watch he did not get until the pri-
soners were taken before the magistrates, though he
had made application for it.
In cross-examination by Mr. JAMES the witness
said he was neither from the north, nor yet was he
a Yorksbireman._(Laughter.) He bought five gold
watches and a silver one, although he was displeased
with his first bargain. "I sold two of them," said
Mr. King, " for 6/. 7s. 6d., and Chew took one of the
watches back in exchange for an English watch.
That watch was taken to my uncle's° and pledged
for 41.—(Laughter.) It cost me 81. 125."
By Mr. PoLLOCK—I have several times been in
the company of Chew and Smith, and drank with
them. I did not bid for the watch re-sold by Chew,
but when Smith offered 61. 7s. 6d. for it I nodded for
him to take it.

William Jackson, a boy who bad been in the ser-
vice of the prisoners, stated that the persons engaged
as sweeteners received half-a crown a day. A coin-
mission of 31. was given on a silver watch and 6d. on
a gold one to each one who induced a person to buy.
One of the sweeteners, named Janes, used to examine
the watch through a glass, say he was a watchmaker,
that he understood watches, and recommended
watches. Provost, another sweetener, said he was a
spring-maker, and had hurt his finger whilst work-
ing far Mr. Daniels. When a buyer was in the
room a sign was made by the holding up a finger,
indicating that they were to bid no more. Money
was given to the sweeteners to buy with. Sometimes
it was good money, and at other times California
gold. When a stranger was outside the door the
man who saw him would call out " graft," or
" swance."—(Laughter.) A man named Myers used
to tread on people's toes' and those so trodden on
were called "crabs."—(Laughter.)
John Ferrer, a watch-movement-maker, from St.
Helen's, who had been duped, was examined. Much
merriment was created by the witness pointing out,
with a wand furnished to him, a gentleman sitting at
the table, es the person who acted as auctioneer. On
a second examination he proved more successful, and
immediately upon his eye catching the figure of
Smith he pointed him out by holding the wand in the
manner a person does a gun when shooting. Wit-
ness stated that he had bought a watch for 21. 12s.
On the following day he bought another watch for
71. Another auctioneer acted on this occasion. He
left the silver watch as a deposit on the gold watch.
Hi afterwards returned with the money to pay for
the watch, hut he could neither get the watches nor
the money which he had paid for the silver w,,teh.
John Walsh, another boy employed by the pri-
soners, gave a further insight into the mysteries and
tricks of the mock 'auction system.
Mr. Joseph Green, assayer, of Chester, gave the
quantity ofgold in the different watches and chains.
The chains were what the trade called gold chains.
All gold chains contained a large quantity of alloy.
Th- watches were watchmaker's gold.

Mr. Richard C. Newby, a witch-finisher, in the
employ of Mr. Samuel, gave his opinion as to the value
of the watches. His estimate was from 755. to 80s.
None of the watches would sell as gold watches.
Mr. A. Jacobs, who said he had bad experience in a
jeweller's shop tor two years, in cross-examination,
said such watches as those produced would sell for
gold Geneva watches, for as much as 71 109.
Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for Smith. He con-
tended that if such an indictment could be sustained,
every auctioneer in the town would be open to the
same charge.
Mr. POLLOCK, in an ingenious and humorous
speech, addressed the jury on the part of Chew. The
same thing, ha said, as those charged in the present
indictment were practised every day in the moat re-
spectable auction-rooms in the town, and the remark
would apply to Lucas's mart Here a horse was brought
out for sale, and the auctioneer described him " as one
of the finest animals in existence, sound wind and
limb, by Priam, out of a celebrated dam, with a long
Awl distinguished pedigree;
a splendid charger,
will go in harness, and carry a lady." A p-ntle
