EDUCATION,

Hivhlv respectable BOARDING SCHOOL for
YOUNG GENTLEMEN, six miles from London.
Terms Twenty and Twenty-Two Guineas per annum. The
pupils in this Establishment are led to feel an interest in learn-
ing, its utility being recommended by kind treatment ; the
constant fear of correction, which is the principal cause of so
many youths disappointing the expectations of their parents, is
thereby avoided. The domestic arrangements are conducted
by the Preceptor's wife, whose whole time is occupied in con-
tributing to the happiness and welfare of those under her care,
and every solicitude is manifested to combine scholastic advan-
tages with the comforts of home. The situation is healthy,
and the sleeping apartments, school-rooms, play-rooms, &c.,
are large and well ventilated. The play anti pleasure grounds
are very extensive and convenient, having been fitted up with
apparatus for gymnastic, manual, and drilling exercises, bath-
ing, &c., which are at all times superintended by a master,
and materially add to the amusement and health of the pupils.
Pupils may be removed at any time without previous notice. A
prospectus will be sent in answer to letters, post paid, to D. J.,
at 29, Mount-stieet, Westminster-road.

servants the extra attention, for which the charge was
intended as a remuneration.
Mr. Wire, on the other hand, contended that Mr.
Bianchi was bound to have made known that he was
the bearer of dispatches, in which case he would have
bean entitled to have them placed under the especial
care of the Company's servants, and would himself
have received every possible facility in landing and
clearing his baggage, and at the time said he was
prepared to prove that the charge was invariably made
in similar cases by all the steam-packet Companies, and
paid without hesitation. Mr. Wire supported his
views of the case by strongly arguing on the grounds
he advanced at the Mansion-house.
The Commissioners, however, were of opinion that
it was not necessary to go in to the evidence alluded
to, as there could be no doubt about the propriety of
the charge in cases where parties made known their
official character, and received in consequence the
extra accommodation which had been referred to; but
they were unanimously
of opinion that the charge
could not be made upon persons who chose to travel
as ordinary passengers, although they might be the
bearers of dispatches, or, in such cases, they would be
paying for services they never received; and they alto-
gether repudiated the idea that individuals were bound
to disclose their official character, or that the Com-
pany bad any ground for complaint if they did not
choose to make disclosures of the kind. The Com-
missioners, therefore, decided that the two guineas had
been improperly claimed from Mr. Bianchi, and made
an order directing the repayment of the money to
that gentleman.

It appeared that about three months ago Ireland
was called in to a public-house to take a man into
custody. As he was taking the man the prisoner
came behind him and struck him a violent blow on
the head with a stone, which knocked him down and
stunned him. The other policeman came up, and the
pair struck him on the head and escaped. They did
not see him again till last night, when he was taken
into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had been
playing at skittles with the man who was being taken
`into custody, and the man refused to pay for what he
lost, in trying to strike him he struck the officer.
The officer said they had heard that the man had
lately obtained some work, and they did not wish to
press the charge against the prisoner.
The prisoner expressed his sorrow at what had
occurred, and said if he should be committed to prison
he should lose his work.
Mr. Alderman HOOPER said he would do all in his
power to protect the police when they used temper
and discretion, and he thought they had done so in
the present case; but as they wished not to press the
charge he would only fine the prisoner ss.
BOW-S 7 BEET.
A man named Carter, who was till lately a collect-
ing clerk in the employ of Messrs. Newington, San-
ders, and Co., the extensive china, glass, and earthen-
ware manufacturers, of Holborn' was charged with
receiving money on account of his employers, for
which he had not accounted.
A great number of witnesses were called, and
several cases of small amount were proved against
the prisoner. On the representation of Mr. Sanders,
however, that there were other cases against the pri-
soner, involving, it was suspected, some hundreds of
pounds, Mr. Hall remanded him till this day fortnight.

severely reprimanded him, taking the number of his
badge and of his omnibus, and saying he hoped that
the witness would not answer in the same way at the
Old Bailey, for if he did, he might depend upon it he
would be sent to Newgate.
Inspector Thatcher informed the Magistrate that
this was all the evidence he was at present prepared
with, and requested a remand to a future day, which
was acceded to.

SURREY SESSIONS.

117:n. Lewis was yesterday placed at the bar, on a
charge of having stolen two coats, two pair of
trousers, three waistcoats, and other articles, the
property of Richard Cafe.

John Smith, apparently a tradesman, was charged
on the sheet with intent to commit a felony.
Richard Leighton was coming down Albany-street
last night, between twelve and one o'clock, when he
saw the prisoner breaking in the fan-light above the
door of No. 90. He gave the alarm to a constable,
and the prisoner was taken into custody.
Prisoner, in defence, stated that he had been for
some time past walking about the streets in a state of
starvation, and at last had come to the resolution of
committing the above offence, with a view to getting
sent to prison.
Mr. LONG expressed his sympathy, but was obliged
to commit him for trial.
J. Watts was committed for trial for stealing a square,
the property of Mr. Wills, pawnbroker, 14, Adam's-
row, Hampstead-road. Prisoner made no defence.
Charles Newberry, an elderly man, respectably
connected, was brought up before Mr. LONG, on a
charge of felony. It appears that yesterday morning
he had called at the shop of Miss Forsyth, haber-
dasher, John-street, Edgeware-road, for the purpose
of selecting di&retit ribbons for rosettes, and after se-
lecting what he wanted and paying for them, Miss For-
syth, whose suspicions had been aroused by defendant's
manner taxed him with the theft, when he threw out
upon the counter several half-pieces he had secreted.
Ile was given into custody.—The ribbons were here
produced and identified, and the prisoner, who made
no defence, was committed for trial.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

It
appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor,
who were both young men, had been employed in the
factory of Mr. Roberts, a dyer, and had
'lodged in
the same•room in a house in the Old Kent-road. The
prosecutor stated, that on .the morning of the 2d of
August last he had left his clothes in the room in a
box which was not locked. lie missed them next
day, and, on charging the prisoner with having taken
them, he was told by him that he had pledged them
at Mr. Russell's, a pawnbroker. Prosecutor found,
on inquiry, that this was not true. He was after-
wards told by the sister of the prisoner that the
clothes had 'been pledged at Mr. Townsend's, an-
other pawnbroker. He went to Mr. Townsend's,
and found there the greater part of the missing arti-
cles. In the meantime, the prisoner had gone down
to Chatham, and enlisted in the East India Company's
service. He was brought up to London, and he had ac-
knowledged, both to the constable who had apprehended
him and to the police Magistrate, that he had taken the
goods. The highest testimony was borne to the
good character, young man's previous both by the
prosecutor and by the foreman of the establishment in
which he had been employed. They could only
account for his having committed the theft by sup-
posing that he had acted under the influence of some
sudden infatuation.

IN RE DAITGLINWAL AND FARRINGTON.
This day being appointed for the final examination
of the bankrupts, who carried on a most extensive
business, as wholesale manufacturing chemists, at
Stratford, and whose debts and liabilities amounted to
about 40,0001.,

. ,
A solicitor, on behalf of the trade assignees, ap-
peared to oppo3e their passing. He said he did so on
the part of one assignee who was a creditor for
16,0001., on the grounds that at the last hearing the
Court decided that certain questions might be pro-
pounded in writing to the bankrupts, which were
to be answered in reasonable time before the day for
the last examination, but the answers to these queries
were only returned yesterday.
Mr. Commissioner MERRIVALE—Let the final
examination stand adjourned sine die, with liberty,
however, for the bankrupt to apply again, after ren-
dering satisfactory information on the subject of the
inquries before-mentioned.

SHERIFFS' COURT, August 15.

WARRINGTON V. JONES.

In this case the plaintiff was an artist, and the de-
fendant (in the words of the Learned Counsel who
stated the case), a female keeping a house of ill-fame
in Upper Seymour-street, and the action was brought
to recover the sum of 151., being the price charged
for a stained glass-window, put up in her establish-
ment in Seymour-street.
A number of witnesses being called to prove the
work done, and that it was by the deendant's order,
Mr.liThomas, for the defence, called nearly an equal
number to establish the fact that the plaintiff received
the order for erecting this window from the eminent
architect, Mr. Wyatt. The evidence of the witnesses
called by Mr. Thomas, who were mostly servants and
females residing with Mrs. Jones, alias Smith (for
she had F everal aliases), went to prove that Mrs.
Jones told the plaintiff distinctly Mr. Wyatt was to
pay him for the work.
Mr. CHADWICK JONES (for the plaintiff) in ad-
dressing the Jury, said Mr. Wyatt only introduced
the defendant as a customer to the plaintiff; and the
reason why he did not call Mr. Wyatt (who was in
Court) to prove the fact, was because he felt some de-
licacy in submitting him to the cross-examination of
Mr. Thomas.—(Laughter.)
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff.

The Jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom-
mended him to mercy.
The CIIAIRMAN asked whether the prisoner would
be again received into the East India Company's ser-
vice after he had been convicted of the felony.
- A constable, who appeared for the Company, said
that he would ; the conviction would not affect his
engagement with the Company.
The prisoner was sentenced to 21 days' solitary
confinement.
John Goddard was found guilty of having stolen a
washing tub, several shirts, handkerchief's, and other
articles, the property of Joseph Somers, of Bermondsey.
The prisoner, who was a reckless-looking youth,
had been known to the police as a thief for the last
five years, and had been repeatedly imprisoned. He
was sentenced to seven years transportation.
" Thank you, Sir," said the prisoner, on hearing
the decision of the Court. •
Samuel Williams was charged on five indictments
with having robbed a number of lodging-houses. It
appeared that he had in this way carried on an ex-
tensive system of plunder. To two of the indictments
the prisoner pleaded guilty.
He was sentenced to seven years transportation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
Gabriel Ambila, who was charcd on suspicion of
have forged the name of Justin erret, for the pur-
pose of defrauding Messrs. Gibbs and Co., was brought
before the Lord Mayor yesterday,
after the examina-
tion of his papers by Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Rougemont, and
Daniel Forester, the officer.
The gentlemen connected with the investigation
were all in attendance, when
Mr. Hobler, jun., said that
amongst the papers of
Mr. Ambita, a certificate from Jamaica, of the death
of Mr. Ferret, had been discovered, as well as a copy
of a letter which Mr. Ambila mentioned he had sent
to Mr. Ferret's partner at Lima, announcing the
death of Mr. Perret, and the fact that the prisoner
was in possession of an inventory of the effects of the
deceased. The inventory alluded to had been found,
and other bills of exchange, in favour of Mr. Perr
accepted by Messrs. Gibbs and Co., but not made use
of. Upon further search some bills, not at all con-
nected with Mr. Ferret, were discovered ; with
which bills Mr. Ambila said he was entrusted to
send to Paris. In conclusion there were also found
bills to a large amount n' favour of Mr. Ambila
himself, and several other documents, which, upon
being examined by Arr. Rougemont, Messrs. Gibbs,
and Mr. Fornechan, the representative of Mr. Ferret's
family, were declared to be corroborative evidences of
the innocence of the intention of Mr. Ambila, notwith-
standing the colour which,
in the first instance, was
given by the fact that Mr. Ambila signed the name of
Justin Ferret, and made no explanation of that act
uponpresenting the bills to be accepted.
The LORD MAYOR, in discharging Mr. Ambila, said
that he quitted the Mansion House without the slight-
est imputation upon his character, although, from his
ignorance of the usual forms of law suits, he had got
himself into a very disagreeable dilemma. Mr. Ambila
would, of course, authorise Daniel Forester to give up
the doubloons, which he acknowledged were the pro-
ceeds of Mr. Ferret's bills.
Mr. Ambila, without hesitation, consented to give
up the doubloons.
The LORD MAYOR--Mr. Rougemont will arrange
to supply Mr. Ambila with funds to return to Lima,
and Mr. Ambila will lave with Mr. Rougemont the
be
bills in hed and remitted to possession, in order that the proceeds may

James Quick was charged before Mr. Burrell on
suspicion of having wilfully murdered his wife, Mary
Quick. (Some of the particulars are given in anothe
part of the paper.) The Police Inspector said he
went to the lodgings, No. 47, Old Pye-street, West-
minster, where the assault was committed, and there
saw a large pool of blood by the side of the bed ; the
sheets were also stained with blood, and had recently
been washed out ; they were still wet. The place in-
dicated that a protracted struggle occurred there.
The prisoner, on the charge being read over to him
was cautioned, that whatever he might say would be
given in evidence—•to which he replied, that he had
struck his wife with his fist to prevent her stabbing
him with a knife, it was only one blow that had made
the cut on her lip.
Inspector Beresford said that the upper part of the
face of the deceased was much swollen and bruised,
and she appeared to have received a heavy blow on
Ile eye. He was remanded until Tuesday.

The poor tailor said that his kindness to the young
man was repaid by the worst sort iof ngratitude, for his

repeated that she and
her husband were the culpable parties, and that it

The guilty parties having been remanded, the un-
fortunate husband appeared again, but evidently in a
very forgiving temper.
The LORD MAYOR having examined witnesses,
who proved that Austin had taken a lodon___
g for him-
self and the woman as man and wife, and that clothes
which had been stolen from the husband were found
on the premises, asked the complainant whether he
meant to take back his wife ?—Streater replied that
he had not made up his mind upon the subject.
The LORD MAYOR—I advise you to consider well
before you do such a thing. She has boasted in the
prison that the child in her arms is
not yours, but
her paramour's. Take care what you are about. She
may rob you effectually next time.
The tailor made no observation, and
His LORDSHIP said, Well, I have no proof that this
fellow stole the property, so I discharge them both.

Thomas lValdron was charged with having as-
saulted police-officers William Ireland and John
Shelton, whilst in the execution of their duty.

WORSHIP-STREET.
William Sheen, the man who acquired so multi in,
famous notoriety, some years ago, from the circum
stance of his cutting off his child's head, was placed a_
the bar upon a warrant, charged with having violently
assaulted Ann Raven, an " unfortunate" girl.
The complainant stated that she lodged in the house
occupied by the prisoner, which is situated in George-
street, Spitalfields, and as she was ascending the stairs
towards her apartment, a few nights ago, she was sud.
denly attacked by two women, one of whom cohabited
with the prisoner. After knocking her down
they struck and kicked her in a most savage manner,
and the prisoner encouraged their violence by clap-
ping his hands, and calling out, " seize her my bull-
dogs—go it again," with similar exclamations. Her
assailants continued beating her until her strength was
exhausted, and the prisoner then raised her up in his
arms and flung her into the street, with such violence
that she lay for some in a state of insensibility.
The wretched woman presented a shocking ap-
pearance her face and neck being covered with cuts
and contusions.

Upon being asked if he wished to say anything, the
prisoner with much vehemence broke out in the fol-
lowing strain :—" I declare most solemnly that I was
not in the house at the time the row' took place,
but that woman is always casting in my teeth the
trouble I got into long ago about the child. Your
policemen can all tell you that there's not a more
peaceable man alive than I am, if they will only let
me alone, but wherever I appear they call out there
gees the murderer,' and I have not had a moment's
peace or rest since the hour it happened. It would
have been a mercy if they had hung me up at the
time, and put an end to me at once ;—my heart is
broken."

The prisoner here covered his face with his hands,
and his muscular frame was apparently convulsed for
some minutes with uncontrollable emotion.

Mr. BINGHAM said, that although it was evident
the complainant had been most brutally ill-used by
some one, there was not a particle of evidence to affect
the prisoner, and he must therefore discharge him.
The gloomy criminal left the bar with an air of
sullen ihdifference.
CLERKENWELL.
Yesterday Wm. Thomas, a driver in the service of
Messrs. Coulson, the Islington omnibus proprietors,
was charged with manslaughter, in driving over the
body of one Jos. Ellis, and thereby causing his death.
Inspector Thatcher, of the N division, said that in
consequence of information he had received, he ap-
prehended the prisoner on the previous evening, whilst
on the box of the omnibus 3,981, called the Hope, be-
longing to Messrs. Thomas and Wm. Coulson. Wit-
ness informed the prisoner that he wanted him for
running over a man, named Ellis, in the City-road,
on' Monday night, about ten o'clock. Witness knows,
from having received a Coroner's summons to attend
the inquest, that the man is dead. When witness told
the prisoner what he apprehended him for, he said he
knew nothing about it. He also asked whether bail
would be taken, to which witness answered in the
negative.
itobert Duncan, the conductor of Wilson's omnibus,
3,962, badge 133, said he was with his 'bus in the
City-road on Monday night, about ten o'clock. He
was standing on his footboard looking back, when, as
they got a little lower than the Blue-coat Bov, he saw
the other omnibus about thirty yards behind him,
taking the direction, as he thought, towards Goswell-
street. It was going at the rate of not more than six
or seven miles an hour. Believes the prisoner was
the driver. He had come up to the Blue-coat Boy
before witness had started. Witness did not get off
his footboard at all. Both the omnibuses commenced
their journey from Highgate to the City. Will swear
they were not racing then or at all that night. Wit-
ness saw something lying in the road, which he at
first thought was a great coat, which had fallen from
the box of the prisoner's omnibus. He saw it after
the omnibus had passed. Will swear that he did not
see either the horses or the omnibus pass over it. It
was on the off side.

Mr. CoMßl—Did you see them pass it ? Witness—
They went past it. I saw the coachman stop the
omnibus, and the conductor got down from his footboard.
I was then forty yards in advance of them. We went
forward. I continued looking back, and I saw the
conductor run to that which I thought was a great-
coat, and then I saw a number of persons coming to
the spot from the direction of the Angel. I saw no
more. I did say to my coachman "I think there is
somebody run over." What I saw looked like a coat
or a man. I will swear I did not see a man's hat or
a man's head. I will not swear it was not a man. I
did believe it was a man, because I saw people running
to the spot, but it was then dark.
Mr. COMBE closely questioned this witness touch-
ing the. identity of the prisoner as the driver, but
could not bring him to say whether he could swear to
him, though he said he had no doubt he was the man.
In consequence of the manner in which the witness
answered these and other questions, Mr. Combo
