Mr. BROUGHTON said it was quite clear that defendant
had shown himself to be an improper person to have
young irlen under his care, and (addressing the com-
plainant) said, "I am ready to give judgment now for
the assault, but in that case you will get nothiag for the
injury which you have sustained. If I discharge the
defendant you can sue him in the County Court for
damages." To the defendant—" Are you ready to give
201. to complainant and cancel his indentures?" Mr.
Williams (after consulting with his client)—"No,sir; we
will give 51.

MI. BROUGHTON—That's quite out of the question.
It was ultimately arranged that complainant should
be paid 101., and that he should be freed from his en-
gagement, and

M. BROUGHTON expressed a hope that defendant
would endeavour to curb his teropPr in future.
CLERKEN WELL.
Yesterday having been appointed for Mr. Tyrwhitt to
give his judgment in the case of the prosecution of
Messrs. Sherrard, Smith, and Butler, late governors and
directors of the poor of the unitPd parishes of St. An-
drew, Holborn, and St. George-the-Martyr, for alleged
misappropriation of money i❑ the prosecution of Drouet.

derable interest was manifested.

Mr. TYRWHITT said, that after a patient and careful
consideration of the case, he had arrived at the conclusion
to make his final order for the payment of the sum
claimed by the parish authorities, 631. 16a.; but not to

ings being brought before him he would allow the costs.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
DEVONPORT, WEDNESDAY, FIVE, P.M.—lt still con-
tinues to blow half a gale from the S. W., with no sign of a
change. The Calliope, 26, Captain Sir E. Home, Bart.,
advertised to sail this day, is not able to get out of
harbour.
Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.H., is only waiting
fur weather to go out of Devonport harbour.
Virago. steam-sloop, is waiting (with Mr. Henderson
and party) for favourable weather to go down to Fal-
mouth for the Astrea, store-ship, to navigate her to
Devonport.
Hecate, 6, steam•sloop, Commander G. S. Hand, has
proceeded from Portsmouth forthwith to Newcastle, at
the request of the Mayor of that port, to protect the
shipping interests of that place and its immediate vicinity.
FALMOUTH, JAN. 28.—A sudden and melancholy ship-
wreck took place last night, and which was only made
known this morning at about ten o'clock by an open
boat entering the harbour with a solitary occupier.
From his tale it appears he is a Prussian, named Martin
Jonsten, and was a sailor belonging to the schooner
Mormond Maid, of Fraserburg, Malcolm, master, from
Nantes, laden with wheat, bound to this port for orders.
Last evening they made the Lizard, and subsequently
the light of St. Anthony, but at 7 P.M., struck on a rock,
and during the confusion which ensued, Jonsten, who
had been at the helm, got into the longboat and was
immediately floated out of the vessel, which he supposes
must soon afterwards have sunk with the remainder of
the crew, including a passenger, six in all.
Although Jonsten is ignorant of the locality, it would
seem that the rock on which the unfortunate schooner
struck is the Manacles, and as no tidings have transpired
from the coast to-day, it is but too clear the wreck is
total, and no one aware of it near the fatal spot. The
escape of the survivor, and his entry into this harbour,
partake of the marvellous, especially'in such a gale as
blew last night. A grindstone being in the boat, he ma-
naged with a line to anchor her within a headland in the
western bay during a great portion of the night, and
this morning got again under weigh, and actually came
himself up to the town-pier unassisted, and communi-
cated his tale.

7 P.M.—The pilots have just reported that a wreck is
partially visible on the outer Manacle rock, which con-
firms the foregoing statement.
A Dutch galliot, called the Concordia, of and for Am-

APPOINTMENTS.
WOOLWICH, JAN. 30.—Lieutenants—John 11. Cave,
recently promoted from the Excellent gunnery-ship, at
Portsmouth, to the Hogue, 56, steam guard-ship at Cork;
John B. Striven (1810) to be agent of mails, and Robert
W. Clark (1844), and Constantine
the Coast Guard. G. Glinn (1845) to

accused, and having rev:4)n to beli',ve that he was, in
town, put himself i❑ the way of meeting with him, and,
having succeeded in his object, the accused at once vo-
lunteered to accompany him to the police-court to meet
any charge that might be preferred against him.
The superintendent stated that as soon as the accused
was in custody he sent word to Mr. Emmett, Captain
Alleyne's solicitor, and a few minutes ago he received a
verbal answer from Mr. Emmett, that, as Captain Al-
leyne lived at Carshalton, it would not be possible to
bring forward evidence in support of the charge
that day.

Mr. i3INGHAM said if the superintendent could make
out any case for delay he should feel bound to remand
the accused.

The superintendent replied that he knew nothing
about the case beyond the fact of a warrant having been
issued against Mr. Coyle.
Mr. Coyle's solicitor contended that the prosecutor
ought to have been present, but, as no one attended to
prefer any complaint, he was entitled to ask for the dis-
charge of his client.

BINGHAM thought the prosecutor in that case
might complain of being taken by surprise, as he could
hardly suppose that the warrant would be executed so
rapidly.

_
The solicitor said the charge arose out of a gambling
transaction, and, if the Court decided on a remand, he
hoped bail would be taken.

BINGHAM said he should be disposed to take bail,
and, seeing that the allegod forgery took place so far
back as June last, he should ask for lighter bail than
would otherwise have been the case.
A clerk from Mr. Emmett's office came forward, and
said the reason why no one was present to go on with
the charge was, because there had not been sufficient
time to make the prosecutor acquainted with Mr. Coyle's
capture.

Mr. BINGHAM remanded the defendant till Monday.
Bail was procured immediately, and accepted.
John Leighton Wood was charged with having uttered
a forged bill of exchange for 434 to Mr. Stephen Rogas,
timber-merchant, No. 7, Cleveland-street.
Mr. Rogas said he had known t'3e prisoner for about
twenty years. On the 22d of October last the prisoner
owed him 331. 12s. 6d., and on tint day the prisoner
called and paid the amount with a bill for 431., drawn
by himself on Mr. John Vinicombe, music-seller, Exeter,
at four months. Prosecutor took the bill, and gave the
prisoner the difference in goods. When the bill came
to maturity, it was presented at Messrs. Roberts and
Co.'s, and returned as a forgery.
Further evidenee having been given that the accept-
ance was not in the handwriting of Mr. Vinicombe,
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was fully
committed.

MARYLEBONE.
Mr. Alexander Rogers, of the firm of Rogers and Son,
pianoforte manufacturers, and who have large work-
shops in Southampton-mews, Euston-square, again at-
tended before Mr. Broughton, pursuant to recognizances
to the amount of 1301., entered into on Tuesday. the
21st instant, upon which day he was charged with an
assault of a most brutal nature upon John Littlewood,
a young man twenty-three years of age, and who had
articled himself to him (defendant) for a period of two
years.

- Mr. Williams, solicitor, Alfred-place, Bedford-row,
attended for the defendant, many of whose friends were
in court during the proceedings.
The evidence taken upon the first occasion was read
over by Mr. Phillips, the clerk. It went to show that
the complainant had been employed about eleven months,
and that more work was required from him than he
could perform if it were done properly. On the previous
clay, as he was working at a lathe, defendant told him
that if he had used the rabbet-plane instead he might
get through six times the work in the same space of
time, upon which (he complainant) remarked, " those
who work so test are generally a set of scamps." De-
fendant questioned him as to whether the word " scamp"
appli- d to him, to which he replied in the negative, bat
almost immediately afterwards defendant gave him three
tremendous blows upon the nose, which was thereby
broken, and it lay almost flat against his face. He bled pro-
fusely, and without lois of time he obtained medical aid.
A certificate signed by two surgeons, and upon which
document the magistrate felt himself bound to order a
remand, set forth that there was a fracture of the nasal
bones, and that there might be danger should inflamma-
teen ensue. Defendant's answer to the charge was, on
the first inquiry, that complainant had done his work
improperly, and bad called him ab scamp. He ad-
mitted that he then struck him, as he bad put himself
into i a fighting position.
Two witnesses were called by the defendant, but they
in a great measure proved the complainant's case.
Yesterday a second certificate was produced, setting
forth that the complainant was in no danger, but that he
would be permanently disfigured.
By Mr. Williams—We had a few words upon former
occasions. I'll swear that I did not apply the word
" scamp" to defendant.
Mr. BROUGHTON—The defendant's own witnesses
have distinctly sworn that the complainant, when asked,
denied having applied the word to bis employer.
Complainant—The defendant has attempted to com-
promise the matter with me upon condition that he
should give up my indentures and pay the expense of the
warrant; but I could not look upon ouch a proposition as
being an adequate compensation for a broken nose, by
which I shall be disfigured for life.
Mr. Williams—On behalf of my client. I have to state
thit I shall be happy to give a reasonable sum, although
the defendant had every reason to believe that the word
" scamp" was meant to apply to him, and that he there-
fore naturally felt much irritated.
