fire-place, seized the pokei, and again got hold of his collar,
and ho!ding the poker ever his head, cried out, "I'll split,
your skull, and knock :-one
go." Witnesl called 'out Murder!" till a dozen persons
rushed in from the adjact.rit offices. A policeman came, but
he refused to take charge the dthedant.
Mr. Huson, the defendant's . solicitor, said by the com-
plainant's own showing nothing would have happened to
bun if he had quitted the room, as he ought to have dune,
upon being so peremptorily required to do so.
The Lora) MAYOR (feet said of course no violence would
have been used if he had left the place voluntarily; but his
staving would not justify the extreme violence the secretary
had resorted to.
Mr. Huson observed that when Mr. Lewis refused to leave,
Mr. Rathbone attempted to put him out, Mr. Lewis's clerk
attacked him, and lie was obliged to seize the poker to defend
himself.
Mr. Horry said Mr. Lewis's statement was otherwise, and
his clerk could confirm it.
Mr. Rathbone begged to explain one point. The cheque
was altered before Nr. Edmund Peel affixed his signature.
On the board-day witness exhibited the account and prepared
the cheque; but in consequence of the Chairman seeing in a
newspaper then on the table, something about advertising
agents' bills, he suggested the alteration of the cheque, that
3001. should be paid on account, and the account subjected to
a strict inquiry.
The LORD MAYOR elect said he should send this case to
the sessions, but the parties would be at liberty to settle
their differences together in the interim. He bound Mr.
Ilathbone to appear at the next London sessions.
Edward .Blake, one of the express boys employed by The
Sun newspaper to deliver newspapers in the City, was charged
with seriously injuring John Langton, aged 15, the son of
Mr. Langton, a butcher, in Eastchrap.
Mr. Neil Drummood, of the Adelaide, a gentleman con-
nected with the Great Leeds Railway, stated that he was in
Newgate-street, about six o'clock the previous evening, and
saw the defendant ride off on horseback at a furious pace to
the Post-office. lie nearly rode over a gentleman at the
crossing, and fifty yards further on he knocked down the lad
Langton._

THAMES.

The father of the lad said he was labouring under symp-
toms of concussion of the brain, and was considered to be
doing well, but not out of danger.
The defendant said he was much pressed for time. The
lad cross=ed out just before him from behind a cart, and
therefore neither of them saw the other in time to prevent
the accident. He was very sorry for it.
The Loup MAYou elect observed, that however he might
be pressed for time, he must not endanger the public. He
remanded him till Monday, in the hope that by that time
Langton would be out of danger._

BOW- 7'BEET.
EXCESS OF LoyALT-v.—Archibald Campbell, a naval officer
on half pay, having only one arm, was brought before Mr.
Twyford, charged with being drunk and disorderly in front
of Buckingham Palace, and throwing his cap, which was
trimmed with a gold band, at her Majesty's state pages as
they were alighting from the carriage.
Inspector How it, A division, who does duty at the Palace,
stated that about four o'clock on Thursday afternoon,
shortly after the Queen returned from Lincoln's Inn, he
observed the prisoner, who was acting in a very boisterous
manner, and surrounded by a crowd, make an attempt to
enter the southern gate, but was prevented, and taking off
his cap he threw it at the window of one of the carriages
which had just driven up.
Mr. TWYFORD inquired if it was done for the purpose of
insulting any of the attendants, or as an exhibition of exul-
tation? The Inspector replied that the prisoner was drunk,
and took deliberate aim at the persons in the carriage.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that, according
to the account given by the officer, he had intended to
have committed an offence, which was not the case; but
he was induced to act in the manner described to show
his love for her Majesty at the impulse of the moment.
Inspector Russell, A division, said that the prisoner had
been repeatedly in custody for drunken and disorderly con-
duct; and, notwithstanding his being disabled, there was
great difficulty to manage him at the station- house.
Mr. Twviroun said that it was a most disorderly mode of
exhibiting what the prisoner termed a love for the Queen,
and ordered him to pay a fine of 205., or go to prison for
seven days.

RAILWAY PROJECTORS.—Simon Rendell, No. 11, Cle-
ment's Inn, solicitor, and Lennox Horne, 78, Wimp°le.
street, Cavendish .square, the registered proprietors of the
important Economic Railway Traction by the Leviathan Air-
engine, intended to be adopted by the Shrewsbury, Chester,
and Crewe Junction Railway Company, were summoned to
answer a complaint preferred against them by Charles Barry
Baldwin, Esq., M.P , " for that ttiev on the 27th of October
did make a certain false pretence, knowing the same 'to be
false, in an advertisement printed and published in a cir-
cular purporting to be a prospectus of the important Eco-
nomic Eailwav Traction by the Leviathan Air-engine in-
tended to be adopted by the Shrewsbury, Chester, ai:d Crewe
Junction Railway Company for completing a direct commu••
nication between Bristol and Liverpool, which said pretence
was as follows :—That the said Chas. Barry Bald-
win, Esq., I%LP., was, by the name and description of C. B.
Baldwin, Esq., M.P., of 'Parliament-street, ous of the Provi-
sional Committee of the said Company."
The complainant, after remaining a short time on the
bench, left the Court.

A Solicitor's Clerk, who appeared for Mr. Rendell, ap-
plied to have the case postponed to a future day, as the de-
fendant was at present at Chester on railway business.
The Solicitor who attended to prefer the charge said he had
no objection to an adjournment on such grounds, and the
parties left the Court.
GREENWICH.
MunnEnous ASSAULT.—EmanueI Todd, a young man,
about 25 years of age, having the appearance of a respectable
mechanic, was charged with the serious offence of cutting
and maiming a young woman, named Mary Kensley.
The prosecutrix, whose head was bandaged up, and her
eyes covered by a large green shade, was led into Court, and
deposed that on Thursday, the 22d of October, she and her
husband had a few words tetpecting the vrisoner's sister, of
whom she admitted she was jealous, the prisoner lived
with a girl named Cox, at the house of her husband's father,
in Bridge-street, Greenwich. Witness's husband having
struck her, she rushed into the house where the girl Todd
was, and inflicted summary vengeance on her. The pri-
soner, who was sitting on a chair by the tire,got up to inter-
fere, and mevent his sister being struck by witness, and
pushed her away. lie then sat down, when she rushed up
to him, seized him by the hair and struck his head against
the wall several times. During this the prisoner seized the
poker, and gave her a violent blow across the eyes, abso-
lutely cutting one out, which lay upon her cheek until re-
placed in the socket by a surgeon. The sight of her eye was
gone for ever.

The evidence of the proncutrix, was fully borne out by
the testimony of the prisoner's sister, Ellen Todd, and that of
another girl, named Louis Cox.

Mr. Dashwood, surgeon, Greenwich, deposed that be was
called upon to attend the prosecutrix. The eye was torn
completely out. The curbed point of the instrument had
caught the outer part of the orbit, throwing the eye along
the cheek, and kept it so merely by the ligatures. Had the
weapon caught the orbit inwardly, it would most probably
have been attended with fatal consequences. The sight was
totally gone, and the sight of the other eye, he believed, was
irreparably injured.
The prisoner offered no defence.

Mr. JEREMY said, this was a case resulting, unfortunately,
from mere uncontrolled passion. The prosecutrix had partly
brought this on herself by her attack on the prisoner; and
although he might have resented such att...ck, and been
quite justified in so doing, he had no right to use such an
unlawful weapon. He should commit the prisoner for trial,
but allow him to put in bail until the next sessions.

during the examination, said that however blameable his son and
young man might have been in not putting the proper address upon
the tickets, more blame was attributable to Mrs. Shaw in not ap-
prising him (Mr. Turner), when she had formerly taken a quan-
tity of property out of pawn at his shop, that her servant had
robbed her.

Mr. Parry observed that he would forbear at present making
any remarks upon the negligent manner in which a vast quantity
of valuable property had been taken in pledge, but should content
himself by applying to the Magistrate to order the whole of the
property produced into the custody and care of the constable en-
gaged in the case.

This the MAGISTRATE ordered, and again remanded the pri-
soners.

William Whiteman, a remarkable looking man, who is blind of
the right eye, which was covered with a black patch, was finally
examined, charged with obtaining eleven wheelbarrows, value
16s. 6d. each, under false pretences, from Samuel Mills, a wheel-
wright, residing at No. 10, Batt-street, St. feorge's- in-the-East.
Since the prisoner's last examination two oilier oases had been es: a.
blished against the prisoner, who, it would seem, had been -prac-
tising the fraud to a considerable extent.

Mills, who appeared to be a hard-working poor roan, said the
prisoner came to him on Monday week, and representing himself
to be foreman to Mr. Brunel, who, he said, had the formation of
the railroad from Putney to Richmond, engaged him to make seve-
ral dossens of wheelbarrows. The poor man, delighted at so good
a job, set two additional hands to work, and eleven barrows were
delivered at various times. A bill of parcels was made out in the
prisoner's name, and he promised to pay within a given time, but
when the period arrived he never made his appearance. On one
occasion ►when the prisoner called he said he was paymaster for all
things of that sort on the llne, and that he had then 3001. in his
pocket, which he was going to pay away. la fact, his manner was
so plausible, and he talked se off-handedly, that the prosecutor
never entertained a doubt of him until he broke his engagement.
The poor fellow then went to Putney, where he ascertained that
no such person as the prisoner was known upon the line. He endea-
voured to sell the barrows which were on his hands, but was in-
formed that the company made all their own, so that he was Out of
pocket the price of the eleven, of which the prisoner had defrauded
him, and had several others on hand, of which he could not make
vale.

Thomas Gunn, a wheelwright. residing at Russell-street, Ber-
znondsey, stated that the prisoner called on him on the 7th inst.,
and ordered a dozen wheelbarrows for the Richmond Railway, of
which he said Mr. Brunel was the engineer, and Mr. Maude the
contractor, and engaged to pay for them on the 14th. He got six
barrows, for which he ordered a bill to be made out on Mr.
Maude, and after that witness never saw him until he was in
custody.

James Bennett, another wheelwright, residing in the Wands-
worth-road, said that about five weeks since the prisoner came to
him and ordered two dozen of " nave " (railroad) barrows, direct-
ing that six should be at once made up as samples. He said they
were for Mr. Maude, the contractor for the railroad from Wands-
worth to Richmond, and the price agreed on was Iss. each. In a
few days two were delivered to the prisoner, who signed a receipt
for them as for Mr, Maude. Witness desired him when he
wanted more to bring an order from Mr. Maude, and on the 2clof
October he brought what purported to be an order, when he not
only received four more, but witness paid Is. 6d. for a cart to take
them into the road. He promised to pay the bill on the following
Friday, but witness did not see him again until he was in the
hands of the police.
John Munday, superintendent of the Richmond line, stated that
Mr. Knill was the contractor, and Mr. Locke the engineer. The
prisoner was not employed or known there, and they made their
own barrows.

Police-constable 343 K took the prisoner into custody on
Saturday, on the charge preferred by the first witness. When
arrested he said " Oh, I'll snake it all right with Mr. Mills."

. _
The prisoner, who by the advice of his solicitor (Hr. Pelham)
reserved his defence, was committed to Newgate for trial.

THE OREGON QUESTION AND

LYNCH- LAW.

New You, OCT. 15.—1 n regard to the question of Oregon, in.

telligent men on this side the Atlantic (and, it is thought, the cor.
responding class on the other side) are of opinion that it should be
settled with as little delay as practicable. Procrastination, with the
rapid settlement of the country, will increase the difficulty of an
amicable arrangement. The correctness of this remark acquires
strength by a reference to past negotiations.
It is much to be regretted that a disposition to Tower the s'andard
of this country in the estimation of Europe too often appears in
leading journals abroad. All these matters serve to irritate the
public mind here, and lessens the ability of tho_e to whom is con.
fided the management of Government affairs to sustain that friendly
deportment they might naturally desire; and hence it is that of
late so ready a conviction on the part of the mass is manifested
that a deep and settled hostility exists among European Govern
ments againsi the institutions of the United States. It is not in-
tended, by these remerks, to attech any blame to the Government.
In Great Britain, as In this country, the press is free and un.
shackled. Nevertheless it sometimes has, as in the present instance,
exercised a most baleful influence.

I wish it was in my power to say that the President and his
constitutional advisers are prepared to make any reasonable sacri-
fice to preserve the peace of the country—but it is net. I see no
evidence of any such disposition. Mr. Polk appears to be cau•
tiously feeling his way. He is evidently without system in regard
to foreign affairs, and will probably remain in that state until Con-
gress convenes. If south-western counsels prevails there will be
no concession or compromise on the Oregon question. Nothing
short of the 55th degree of latitude as the boundary will satisfy
that class of politicians. If they find themselves in the majority,
one of their first moves will be to abrogate the existing arrange_
anent between Great Britain and the United States, as to the joist
occupancy of Oregon. But I still entertain a hope that this will
not be done unless it is done in a friendly way and with friendly
views. It is certain that in the present state of public feeling in
both countries great circumspection is necessary. No exciting or
irritating measure should be adopted. The friends of peace and
humanity should pour oi lon the troubled waves of discord and con-
tention. A sacrifice should be made of all false pride.
Cassius M. Clay, whose printing-office, in which the True Ame-
rican,an abolition paper, was printed, in Kentucky, has prosecuted
a number of citizens for having tak en possession of his office by
violence, and transported it into the state of Ohio. The parties
charged admitted the fact of taking and transporting the printing
materials, but justified, alleging that the paper was a nuisance.
After the testimony had been closed, the Court instructed the
jury upon the law of the case.

The defendants then asked the following instructions:—

1. That as the proceeding was quasi criminal, the jury were the
;udges of the law and fact.

2. That the people have a right to abate a nuisance, and in its
abatement to use just so much force as might be necessary for that
purpose.

The Court gave the first instruction asked by the defendants,
with the qualification, that although not legally, the jury were
morally bound to decide according to the law given them by the

1 he second instruction asked by them the Court refused.

The defendants then asked the following instruction :—That if
the jury believed that the True American Press was a public
nuisance, and could not exist in its then location and condition
without being a nuisance, the defendants were justifiable in
abating it—which the Court gave, and the cause went to the jury.
The definition of a nuisance, as given by the best common law-
writers, was then read to the jury in the following terms :—A
common nuisance is an offence against the public, either by doing
a thing which tends to the annoyance of all the King's subjects, or
by neglecting to do a thing which the common good requires.
After full argument the jury, without hesitation, gave a verdict
of " Not guilty."

The steamer Great Britain arrived here last :evening, having lost
a mast and being short of fuel.

ther column directed its course against the company Which was
coming to our relief, and prevented its joining us. In the
combat which took place with it, Commandant Froment. Coate
and Adjutant-Major Dutertre were killed. Captain Burgard
was seriously wounded and died soon afterwards, Adjutant
Thomas, of the Bth battalion, and ➢farechal-des-Logic llarhtu, were
made prisoners Not seeing the infantry arrive, and abandonA to
my own resources, which consisted of about sixty men, infantry
and cavalry almost dismounted, I prepared to defend the position
which I ozcupied as long as I should have a man left. We were
here assailed for at least an hour and a half. At each instant my
men fell mortally wounded, and at length I had only twelve to
fifteen combatants. At this moment I received three balls and
fell. The enemy, seeing no more officers, set up loud shouts,
charged us in every direction, and carried our position. A few
seconds afterwards I was raised in a senseless state, having also
received two wounds from a yatagan, and was carried away as a
prisoner by a captain of the regular spahis. I annex to my letter
a list of the men who were taken prisoners. In the detachment of
66 men of 2d Hussars, under my orders, there remained only the
Marechaux-des_logis Barbut and Barbier, and 10 privates. Abd-
el.Kader has given orders to all his chiefs to treat us with huma-
nity, and up to the present time we have only to congratulate
ourselves en their conduct towards us."

The list of prisoners is altogether 96, all more or less wounded.
Some of them had received as many as six or seven wounds. It
will be seen by the above letter that M. Dutertre is dead, and that
the account of his having been decapitated by Abd-el-Kader for his
exhorting the men in the marabout to held out was an invention.
The letter of M. Courby is followed by a report from General de
Bar, dated Algiers 14th, but containing no facts which have not
already reached us. There is also a report from General Thierry,
dated Oran 20th, giving a resume of the proceedings in that pro-
vince, and particularly the operations of General Lamoriciere. Ge-
neral Thierry states that Abd-el-Kader, who, after the first com-
bat, had ceased to take any part in the fighting, left in the midst
of the second engagement amidst the hisses and imprecations of the
Arabs who witnessed the flight.
