duced to under forty-eight days. We regret very
much to observe, that to correspond with the bi-
monthly mail to be ee ivered. at and brought from the
Isinnus of P,inatna, no arrangements ha yct been
made for an add.tional communication with the South
Pacific ports, for which only a monthly mail is to he
made up. Unless a more rr.-quent communication be
speed:l:y. opined by the British steamers between
Valparaiso alzd Panama a :inc cf American packets
will be established, which will absor'o a large amount
of the traffic and mail service. As many represtna•
thins on this subject have been made by the mor-
chants connected with the trade of the west coast of
South America, we trust that no very long, time will
elapse ere a fortnightly mail to and from the Chilian
and Peruvian ports will be provided.
A semi-monthly communication with California
will now be opened, and mails, passengers, and mer-
chandise can henceforth be transmitted by the West
India steamers on the 2.1 and 17th of every month.
For San Francisco letters can be sent in about 55
days via Panama, and a like period will be occupied
on the return voyage..

•
Passeng,rs for California will have the option of
proceeding by either the Panama or Nicaragua route,
as the packets will regularly ply to Chagres as well
as to Grey 'Town, the ci-devant San Juan Nicaragua.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
NEW COURT.
(BA)r 41 the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
Henry Page, 36, bricklayer. was indicted for felo-
niously intermarrying with Emma Claike, otherwise
Smith, his wife being then and now alive.
Mr. Charcock delendtd.

Mrs. Martha Page, the prisoner's mother, proved his
first marriage on the 6th of April, 1834. at St. John's
:he Evangelis,, Waterloo-road, to one Ellen Ragan, by
whom he had two children. He lived with her until
about two years ago, when, in consequence of her dread-
fully dissolute habits, he was compelled to be sepa-
rated from her, r.nd made her an allowance of 6s. per
week.

Evidence was then given to prove that on the 10th of
February, 1848, some one of the name of Henry Dick•
son was married at All Saints, Poplar, to ono Emma
Smith, but it could not be proved that the prisoner was
the man or that Emma Clarke, who was the❑ in the
dock behind the prisoner awaiting her trial for having
committed bigamy with him, was the woman referred to
in the register.
The woman Clarke was then brought out of the dock
into the witness-box, and having been sworn, and cau-
tioned not to say any thing to criminate herself unless
she pleased, said that she knew the prisoner from his
coming to her husband's house, tied that her husband
always enc uraged their acquaintance.
The COMMON• SERGEANT—DA anything ever occur
between you and the prisoner at church? You need
not answer unless you like. Witness—No ; nothing
ever did.
The COMMON -SERGEANT said there was an end of the
case; there was no evidence to prove the prisoner was
the man married at Poplar Church.
An acquittal was then taken.
Emma Clarke, 30, married, was then indicted for
bigamy with Henry Page, alias Dickson, her husband
being then alive.
It was then proved that she was married in February,
1842, to her husband Clarke, who is now alive, but the
same difficulty arose in proving her to be the party mar-
ried at All Saints, Poplar.
The police-officer said he saw the prisoner at her hut-
band's house on the 17th of June. She was recovering
from an illness. She told him that she was married iu
1848, at All Saints, Poplar, to the prisoner Page, she in
the name of Smith and he Dickson; that the only per-
sons present wero the clerk and the pew-opener as wit-
nesses to the marriage.
Mr. CHARNOCK having briefly addressed the jury,
dwelt on the fat that the only evidence against her was
the statement made by her when on a bed of sickness
and which she nuw denied on oath.
The COMMON-SERGEANT haviog summed up,
The jury acquitted her.
THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GURNEY.)
James Cole, 24, polisher, was indicted for stealing a
watch, valued at 221., from the person of William Perry.
Mr. Parry defended.
The prosecutor, who is well known to the sporticg
world as the Tipton Slasher, the pugilist, said that
about half-past four o'clock on Monday morning he was
at the bar of the Red Lion, in the Strand, drinking, and
several more besides the prisoner were near him. Some
one began to :psr at him, when a female pressed herself
against him, and almost immediately feeling his watch
snatched from his pocket, as ho thought by the prisoner,
ho seized him, and immediately his watch and chain fell
to the ground at his fact.

Mr. GURNEY said it was not sufficiently clear that the
prisoner's was the hand that took it, and directed an
acquittal.
Henry Wright, 20, barman, and Carciline Davis, were
indicted for stealing sea'eral sums of money from John
Plowman, the master of Wright.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted.

It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Three
Compasses in the Wandsworth-road, and the male pri-
soner hid been a short time in his employment as a
barman, during which period great deficiencies had
been found in his takings. Having set the police on the
watch they found out that the woman, who either was
his wife or lh with him, was in the habit of coming
and putting down a small coin in payment for something,
and received from the prisoner more 'change than she
was entitled to; and in the pre3ent instance they took
her at the,bar of the house, having received 22. 11d. in
change for Is.
The jury, thinking the woman had acted under the
guidance of the male prisoner, acquitted tier, and he
was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' im-
prisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Yesterday the young man who described himself on a
former examination as a determined Chartist, was again
placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Salomons, for
further examination on the charge of sedition.
Mr. Maule, the solicitor for the Home•office, attended
on the part of the Government for the prosecution, and
stated that he appeared by the direction of the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, to request the Al-
derman to deal with the case summarily, by binding the
prisoner over to keep the peace towards her Majesty
and all her subjects. _ _ _

After a recapitulation of the facts already published,
The ALDERMAN said, it is my intention to bind you
over to keep the peace for twelve months, and to order
you to find bail for your good behaviour during that
time in two sureties of 1001. each, or one of 2001., and
to enter into your own recognisancos of 2001., more
to the same effect.

Prisoner—l'll consider about giving Lail.
He tas then removed from the dock evidently much
disappoin►..ed at nut being sent fur trial.
The court was very much crowded, and the result
appeared to give general satisfaction to those present
during the exunination.
