Mr. Burrell again attempted to address an observa-
tion to the lady, but on being again interrupted by
her assurance that she would make an example of the
first driver who overcharged her, he relinquished the
idea of reasoning with her, and proceeded to other
I business.

The lady then paid the amoant and withdrew.
LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday Martin clerk, a Swede, was placed at
the bar before the lion. G. C. Norton, on a charge of
stabbing Mary Anne Judith, a prostitute.
The complainant stated that the prisoner, on his re-
turn from a former voyage, had stopped with her for
one night, and from that time he had frequently
threatened to stab her. On the night before she was
in the Swedish Flag public-house, in the neighbour-
hood of Ratcliffe-highway, and seeing the prisoner
kick a young woman with great violence, she told him
he must be a great brute for doing so, upon which
he grasped hold of hi,; knife, and, opening it hastily,
made a lunge at her left breast. She threw up her
hand to ward off the blow, and received a wound from
the point of the knife.
_ _

The young woman whom the -prisoner had kicked
was next examined, and deposed that she was merely
standing by where the prisoner was settling with a
cabman, when the prisoner, without the slightest pro-
vocation, gave her a desperate kick. Si brutal was
the kick that she was for some time unable to speak
or draw her breath, and throughout the night she re-
mained in great torture. This witness fully corrobo-
rated the prosecutrix in her statement.
Other witnesses proved that the conduct of the pri-
soner, particularly when he took the least liquor, was
of the most ruffianly description. For sometime be-
fore he had committed the offence with which he was
charged he marched up and down the long room of
the public-house, drinking the liquors of some and
upsetting the grog of the customers there, and when
remonstrated with he threatened instant destruction
to any person opposing him, declaring that while he
he had his knife about him he cared for no one, as it
was his particular friend. On making these threats
the prisoner grasped his knife, which was slung by his
side from a thick cord round his neck, and brandished
it about, so that all present were struck with terror at
his appearance and manner.

Tfie prisoner, in reply, said that he was so drunk as
to forget all that happened.
Mr. NORTON observed that he seldom heard of
such dastardly and outrageous conduct, and commit-
ted the prisoner on the capital charge.
THAMES POLICE.
A Customs locker, named John Howes, in the em-
ploy of the Crown, who was formerly a police-con•
stable, was convicted by Dlr. Broderip, on Monday,
under the Police Act, for having in his possession
a pint of rum, supposed to be stolen, or unlawfully
procured, and the sentence passed on him,
was seven weeks' imprisonment and hard labour, in
addition to the week he had been in custody from
the time of his apprehension. The evidence against
him was in substance this, that be was seen
to enter one of the warehouses in the West India Dock
and drink out of a glass bottle containing rum, which
he left between some hogsheads of sugar, where it
was allowed to remain for three days, that he took
the bottle away and deposited it in his desk in the
box belonging to the Customs lockers, and that he
afterwards returned to the same warehouse, and threw
away a tin case when he saw he was observed, and it
was found to contain a pint of rum. To-day Mr.
Williams, a solicitor, who was employed jointly with
Mr. Pelham for the defence, served a notice of appeal
against the decision of Mr. Broderip, and tendered
the names of two respectable housekeepers as sureties.
Mr. Leadley, the junior clerk, on making known the
solicitor's business, and placing an order before the
Magistrate for his signature to have the prisoner
brought up and to put in bail, said that Howes in-
tended to appeal to the Middlesex sessions.
Mr. BRODERIP, who looked surprised, asked Mr.
Williams if it really was his intention to appeal ?
Mr. Williams replied—Certainly. I am so instructed
by the prisoner and his friends.
Mr. BRODERIP said it was a very bad case, for the
prisoner was an officer employed under the Crown,
and he (the Magistrate) ought to have superadded
hard labour to the imprisonment.

Mr. Williams said the sentence on the commitment
was hard labour.

Mr. BROBERIP—I did not include hard labour in
the sentence ; I never mentioned the words.

Mr. Leadley assured the magistrate that he in-
cluded hard labour in his sentence of imprisonment.
Mr. BRODERIP—It is no such thing; my sentence
was seven weeks' imprisonment, without hard labour.
Mr. 'Williams said he was present when sentence
was passed, and said nothing was said about hard
labour. He was never more surprised in his life than
when he saw the words " to be kept to hard labour"
on the commitment at the prison, and he understood
his client was set to work on the treadmill. The sen-
tence of the Court was simply imprisonment for seven
weeks in the House of Correction.

Mr. I3RODERIP—Then the commitment is wrong.
Mr. Leadley said he inserted on the minutes the
sentence actually pronounced by the magistrate, and
the form of conviction was drawn up by himself and
Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, according to the decision.
Mr. BRODERIP—My sentence was without hard
labour.

Mr. Williams—lt was, Sir; I heard you pro-
nounce it.

Mr. Leadley was positive the sentence included
hard labour, and after some conversation with Mr.
Broderip in an under tone, retired with him to the
magistrate's private room, and no more was said on
the subject except by Mr. Williams, who positively
asserted the form of conviction was wrong. In the
afternoon th• prisoner was brought up before the
magistrate, and having perfected the requisite sureties
was set at liberty.

SAILING MATCH BETWEEN AN
ENGLISH AND FRENCH SHIP OF WAR
FROM VALPARAISO TO THE CHANNEL.
The Paris Globe of Monday contains the follow-
ing :—" A contest such as we should be glad to
behold frequently, because it shows sentiments of
mutual esteem and friendly rivalry, took place lately
between a vessel of the English navy and another
belonging to that of France, and we mention it to
prove how easy it would be to maintain or to cement
the intercourse between the two countries. Before
returning to Europe the English frigate, the Vindic-
tive, Captain Toup Nicholas, and the French brig the
Adonis, Captain Viscount de St. Georges, happened
to be in the harbour of Valparaiso. In the conversa-
tions held between the officers of the two nations,
Captain Toup Nicholas praised to the skies the qua-
lities of his frigate, the best sailer in the British navy,
according to the account of Admiral Napier himself,
who boasted of it in the House of Commons. Vis-
count de St. Georges also ventured to speak of the
qualities of his brig, and, on an ironical smile appear-
ing on the face of the English officer, he politely
challenged him to see which vessel would first reach
Europe, whither they were bound. The challenge
was accepted, and it remained to decide what was to
be the wager. Forty-six months' station in the
Pacific Ocean had frightfully tarnished the French
officer's epaulettes, and therefore the English officer,
whose own were not in a very brilliant state, pro•
posed a pair of epaulettes. The day of sailing having
arrived, the Vindictive, the Adonis, and two American
frigates, weighed anchor at the same time, and set
sail towards Cape Horn. The national feeling had
doubled the ardour arid address of the rival crews,
and they performed their duty with marvellous pre-
cision and rapidity. The English frigate spread all
sail, and the Adonis glided like a seagull over the
waves. At the expiration of a few hours, and while
land was still in view, the French brig had already
gained the distance of several leagues on the Vindic-
tive. The captain of the Adonis thought that it was
only good taste to take leave a second time of Cap-
tain Toup Nicholas, before he departed finally for
Europe. He, therefore, sailed back towards the
Vindictive, which was majestically advancing, and
after having gone round her, again resumed his
voyage, crying, " Bon voyage" to the English. In a
few hours the brig had completely disappeared.
Captain Nicholas, on his arrival in England allowing
that the Vindictive frigate had been nobly beaten by
the Adonis brig, wrote a very civil letter to Viscount
St. Georges, with a handsome pair of captain's epau-
lettes. The brig Adonis is a veteran of our squadron.
She carries 20 guns, and was built 20 years back.
She was condemned on her return from the South
Sea station, but the report given by her captain of
her brilliant qualities has caused the Minister of
Marine to give orders to have her re-constructed in
the same proportions."
Galignani, of Monday, in giving the above, makes
the following remark :
" This must be rather a bold boast of the gallant
captain, for the Vindictive, if we mistake not, was
beaten in a trial trip in the Channel, before she sailed
for her station in the Pacific. We must remark that,
in comparing the sailing qualities of two vessels of
the above sizes, it is material to know the state of the
weather. In a light wind a brig of any sailing merit
might beat a frigate, but in a smart breeze would
soon be hull down."

THE TURN OF IFE !—CURE EXTRAORDINARY BY
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—A respectable woman, aged 47,
named Graham, residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool,
was in the most critical and dangerous state for nine
months, being sometimes almost choked with phlegm,
with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, toge-

whole system. Her life was in the greatest danger
when she commenced the use of these miraculous pills,
which restored her to the highest state of health in five
weeks. They are the finest medicine in the world for
females of all ages. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment)

Last evening the steam-packet Rhamies entered
this port from the Levant ; she brings news of no im-
portance from Constantinople to the 29th. The letters
from Alexandria are of a date anterior to those brought
by the Alecto with the Indian mail.
The steam-packet Royal George also entered this
port last night from the coast of Spain ; she brings
dispatches for the Government from the Prince de
Joinyille. The Royal George sailed from Cadiz on
the Ist ; at that date four French steamers were lying
in the roads. Two French men-of-war cast anchor
in the roads at the moment of her departure.
The following is an extract from a private letter,
dated Athens, August 29 :
.

" M. Coletti is in a most critical position, and I
doubt much that he will be able to stand his ground.
The country is in a state truly deplorable—a civil
war at Maina and other provinces, an empty trea-
sury, no commerce, and, I am credibly informed,
great dissensions in the council. Informatioh has
been received that the fourgon with the commercial
correspondence for Trieste, dispatches from the
Austrian and Prussian Governments, and an auto-
graph letter from King Otho, had been pillaged by
a band of miscreants between Calamaki and Lou-
traki. The banditti got possession also of 14,000
drachms in gold. Our coast is infested with
pirates."
The following has been received from an Italian
Consul :

THE EARL ofROSSE'S LEVIATHAN

TELESCOPE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sim,—With pure delight do I communicate to you
the fact that the leviathan telescope, on which the
Earl of Rosse has been toiling in his demesne at
Parsonstown now upwards of two years, although not
absolutely finished, was on Wednesday last directed
for the first time to the sidereal heavens. I very
much regret not being present on this occasion, but
experiments on which I have for many years been
employed rendered it impossible for me to leave home.
The letter which I have this morning received
from its noble maker, in his usual unassuming style,
merely states, that the metal, only just polished, was
of a pretty good figure, and that with a power of 500,
the nebula known as No. 2 of Messier's catalogue
was even more magnificent than the nebula No. 13 of
Messier, when seen with his Lordship's telescope of
three feet diameter, and 27 feet focus. Cloudy
weather prevented him turning the leviathan on any
other nebulous object.
Thus, then, we have, thank God, all danger of the
metal breaking before it could be polished overcome.
Little more, however, will be done to it or with it for
some weeks, inasmuch as the Noble Earl is on the
eve of quitting Ireland for England, to resign at
York his post as President of the British Association,
and to visit his noble relatives at Kilnwick and at
Brighton. This done, he returns to Ireland; and I
look forward with intense anxiety to witness its first
severe trial, when all its various appointments shall be
completed, in the confidence that those who may then
be present will see with it what man has never seen
before. The diameter of the large metal is six feet,
and its focus 54 feet. Yet the immense mass is
manageable by one man. Compared with it, the
working telescopes of Sir William Herschel, which in
his hands conferred on astronomy such inestimable
service, and on himself astronomical immortality,
were but playthings. J. SOUTH.
Observatory, Kensington, Sept. 17.

A Supplement to the Gazette of Tuesday last was
published last night, containing a continuation of the
Orders in Council of the 3d September, relating to the
Ecclesiastical Commission, and the Commercial Treaties
