BISHOP OF BERM% BUTLER CHARGED WITH STILLING A PORTILILITRAIL—At the Devon county sessions, last week, George Evans, butler to the Bishop of Exeter, was indicted on a charge of stealing a portmanteau containing clothes. The indictment contained eight counter the fleet four charging the prisoner with stealing, and the lest four with feloniously resolving. The property was laid is the mama counts as belonginKrespectively to the Great Wagons Railway Company, the Bristol and Exeter Railway Clempaay, the South Devon Railway Company, and Master reancis De Pre Montagu. The prosecution was instituted by the Great Western Beltway Company. It appeared that la May, 1848, Mester Montagu lost his portmanteau on a Imrimy from Bristol to Newton, and nothing was heard of W the month of June last, when the police received initermallon which induced them to search the prisoner's in the bishop's residence at Bishopstowe. They thew nd a quantity of articles marked "F. D. Montagu." ibffllnfi taken posses ion of these things, they charged the prisoner with steeling the portmanteau, and he replied that he had brought a portmanteau from London by mistake, and he supposed the things were in it. He was then taken into custody, and it appeared at the trial that in May, 1848, the bishop travelled by railway from London to Torquay, giving his luggage.in charge of th. prisoner. A probability was therefore need that the portmanteau might by accident have been placed amongst the things belonging to the bishop. This being the defence set up by the prisoner, the Chairmand the Sessions left it to the jury to say wheGum they believed his account, or whether they thought he had stolen the portmanteau. The jury retuned a verdict of Not Guilty. In the course of the trial several witnesses testified to the good character of the prisoner, and the Bishop of Exeter saW that if be should be acquitted he would take him into his service again with unimpsir• d confidence. SUICIDE OF A BRIDE NEAR LEEDi.—A sad event occurred at Holbeek, near Leeds, on folowLy afternoon, at the house of Mr. William Wilkisnon Wa'l y, of liolbeck, near Leeds.

SECOND DAT, AVOCET 29. The Court resumed its sittings this morning at nine o'clock. Mr. Elliott was cross-examiaed by the prisoner—lie said he entered the service in January, 1839, and joined the Childers in August, 1846. He declined to say whether he was, or was not, frequently reported for neglect of duty. Denied that he was aware that Haigh had committed any offence, before bring flogged, except stealing candles, and i x• pressed his belief that he was kept on deck, day and night, for several days. Was not aware that the man was reported the day after his punishment for another offence. Did not know that he was plaoed in irons on that day. Never heard until now that Haigh was reported for mutinous conduct, in having attempted to strike the non-commissioned officers, when ordered aft for stealing. Had beard that Haigh broke into the officer.' wine cellar at Portsmouth, and got so drunk that he tell into a dry dock and severely injured himself. Had heard his insanity ascribed to that accident. Did not believe White could have fallen overboard. Never beard any one , doubt his having drowned himself. He had been heard to threaten that he would do so. There was no inquiry made on the man's act of jumping overboard. lie persisted in that answer. He had in other ships witnessed the scrubbing of boys. He was not aware that the circumstance related about the boy Sanger never came to the knowledge of Cons. Pitman until yesterday. He believed it was the commander who ordered the two boys to be scrubbed on the head. Had never heard of any other officer doing so. He could not say bow many men ran from the Childers whilst lying off Hobart Town, but he thought about 20, and he believed the cause of their leaving was the cruel treatment of the commander. lie knew that some men were entered at Hobart Town who bad b'longed to merchant vessels. Never heard that the high wages offered by the whalers was the cause of the men's run, ring from the Childers. They were lying at Hobart Town about a fortnight or three weeks. lie had no recollection' that a man called Allen was brought on board the vessel at Hobart Town under the lufluenee of some medical drug, nor did he recollect that intercession was made by the officers of the gun-room that the offence of Allen's getting drunk should be overlooked ; and, if such an intercession had been made, ke did not believe, from Commander Pitman's conduct, he would ham overlooked so grave an offence. To what conduct do you refer i—The oases of John Haigh, the boys Cleverton and Sanger, the two men Gillmor and Pitts, who died in China, the midshipman Store, who committed suicide—these are all instances of cruelty which he at present recollected on the part of the commander. They were all cases of decided cruelty. The cross-examination was continued throughout the sitting of the court. At five o'clock the court adjourned until next morning. The inquiry is likely to lest several days
