NATIONAL LAND COIfFERENCE ] . ( Concluded from the First page . ) llr . Sauxdeiis moved , That all members , whether paid up or not , shall pay the snm of three halfpence per -week , per shave , until all the members arc located , nnlcss the member has paid the cost of h » s allotment , then h « j shall be exempt from lis weekly subscription . That members be allowed the privilege of purchasing up dissatisfied members' shares ; those only are bona fide members who have complied with the Birmingham Conference ; the purchaser to he exempt from the weekly subscriptions except his own shares . The amount of shares , or part of shares purchased , to be placed to the credit of the purchaser in the redemption fund .
The delegates from yewcastle , Ashton , and other places , thoug ht the ballot would restore confidence . Mr . M'Gratii felt the question ofthe dissatisfied members to be the most important one ; he thought that when Mr . 0 Connor look legal advice , they would he able to get rid of the great mass of them ; the other method was to purchase up the shares of the remainder ; no difficulty should be thrown in the way of their doing this , he believed that they should not call upon any member to pay the levy for more than four shares ; working men could not afford to do so ; they should also he careful to what Interest thev applied the shares so secured , he
thought they should be applied to the reaemption fund ; this would be an excellent method of the shareholders becoming proprietors of the land of the Company . Mr . 0 "Coxxor showed that it would entirely stop the reproductive principle of the Company ; the persons purchising these shares would become proprietors in fee . and thus , to the extent they purchased , hinder the selling or mortgaging ofthe estates . He was confident that they must legalise the company with the ballot , bethought that cold water seemed to be thrown upon the efforts to xestore confidence in the members , there was yet £ 200 , 000 to be paid by the members ; and he believed the restoration of the ballot would cause a
great amount of that sum to be paid , Mr . Clark supported the views of Mr . M'Grath llr . O'Connor , he thought , did not clearly understand the sentiments expressed by him ; all the members were part proprietors , and Mr . M'Grath wished to reduce their amount ; for the good members to be allowed to swallow up the bad . If the company was legalised to-morrow , they would have 70 , 000 to locate , but if they allowed the 20 , 000 good members to purchase up the shares of the 50 , 000 , on terms advantageous to themselves , they would still have the same amount of capital in land , but lave only 20 , 000 , instead of 70 , 000 to locate . Mr . O'Coxxon explained , and likewise Mr . M'GiuTn .
Mr . Wheeler showed the fallacy of their passing resolutions calling upon the members to pay extra levies upon their shares , he was confident they would never pay them ; the plan laid down by Mr . Sanders for purchasing stares , might be carried out ; but as explained , by Mr . Clark , no sane man would ever act upon it . Mr . "Wilson expressed similar opinions . It would be impossible for them to obtain extra levies from the members . He agreed with the plan of the ballot , as propounded by Mr . Munday ; it would give some inducement to members to take extra shares , or purchase np those of the dissatisfied members , as it would g ive them extra chances in the ballot . Mr . Dowlixg thought the ballot would restore confidence , even more so than legalisation .
Messrs . O'Coxxon , Ebwabds , and Wheeleb , showed that Mr . Munday ' s plan was the self-same as that now actually in operation ; if a person bought twelve paid-up shares they all went into the ballot-box , and he stood his chance on them all . Mr . Saxbers would so qualify his motion that a person purchasing shares should not be allowed to purchase more than one four-acre allotment in fee ; any overplus hc might purchase should stand to his credit until the winding np of the company . Mr . Morgan believed the Merthyr people -would be quite satisfied with the institution ofthe ballot . The Conference then went ont of committee . Mr . Smith moved , " That after the report of the Auditing Committee the Conference adjourn its sittings until after the decision of the Itegistrar-General . " ( Withdrawn . )
Mr . Polleiimoved , " That when the company came to be legalised the price of the shares should be doubled . " ( Withdrawn . ) Mr . Hahdixg thought that whatever the Conference might do , the result of the legislation might entirely frustrate them , and they would onlj be wasting time to pass these resolutions , he therefore moved , and Mr . M'Lellaxd seconded , " That this Conference deem it wise that any alterations in reference to the purchase of shares , or adding additional subscriptions , be deferred until the company be localised "
Mr . Wheeler agreed with Mr . Harding s motion . He thought the ballot mig ht induce members to pay up , and when they had paid np would be time sufficient to tax their shares . . If he thought that any sum would be carried , he should propose as an amendment , " That on a ballot taking place each jaiu-iip suareholder shall pay tiirooponcoper share , on every share , prior to his being entitled to have lis name placed in the ballot-box . " He , however , trusted that Mr . JIarding ' s motion would be carried . Themoiion of Mr . Uardingr was carried b ' y a considerable majority . Messrs . Wheeler and Gilbert wished the Conference to decide upon the question of granting leases to the occupants .
Mr . O'Coxxon stated that abalf-year ' srent would he demanded in November , but any person prepared to pay it now should have his lease immediately granted him ; the dead half-year was always allowed , so that if a year ' s rent was due at May it was not paid until November . If leases were now granted they would be a receipt for all back rent , it was therefore Impossible that leases could be granted until the arrears were paid np : immediately they were ready with rent , he was ready with leases . Mr . Wheeler was confident that to pass the subject off in so hurried a manner would not give satisfaction . The Conference should come to a vote upon the subject . The rent had never been fixed ,
and it was understood that a year's rent was to be given to tbe allottees on account ofthe bad seasons . Mr . Gilbert trusted that something definite would be arranged relative to their rents ; he requested an explanation relative to a mortgage of £ 5 , 000 upon Minster Lovel . Mr . O'Coxxon explained that the property was good security for the mortgage , and it- would never be an injury to the allottees at that estate . After further discussion upon that subject the morning sitting concluded . [ During the sitting Mr . O'Connor announced that the Hungarians had defeated the combined Austrians and Russians , which was received with tremendous applause . ]
Afternoon Sitting . The Chairman took lis seat at the appointed time . After which the roll was called , when twelve members were reported absent . The Knance Committee brought np their report , which having been read , V , r . Skeyikgiox asked several questions , which Mr . O'Coxxon answered . Mr . EnwARns said Jthat as one of tbe Finance Committee he could not allow the report to pass ¦ w ithout expressing lis approbation of the excellent manner in whiel tie accounts lave been kept .
He never saw books kept in a more perfect manner . The report was moved by Mr . Satjxders , seconded tiy Mr . Bostock , and agreed to unanimously : — " "The Finance Committee , after a most careful examination of the accounts of the ^ National land Company , and also the Touchers connected with the same , beg most respectfully to lay the following statement before the members of this Conference , fiz ^ tbat they find the available properly in the lands ofthe Directors of the'company , amounts to the sum of £ 17 , 183 , from which must be deducted £ 4607 due to Mr . O'Connor .
" The committee have great pleasure instating that the accounts lave been kept in the most business-like manner , and brought down to Saturday , August 4 th , 1 S 49 , which lave been audited b y W . H . Grey , Esq ., the government accountant , and bear his signature . They feel that they should be -wanting in their duty if they did not express their most cordial thanks to Mr . O'Connor , for the honest and straightforward maimer in which he las performed bis duty , and for bis indefatigable exertions on behalf of the members of the National Land Company .

Mr . Eagshaw wished to know how it was that a clerk was employed in the office , and Mr . Clark could go to Sheffield and other places to contest elections . & c Mr . O'Coxxon said , it was very hard that men should send & r a man to gratify their own desires , and then , find fanli with him because he did not do just what they wished him . He could say that there we-e nomore men in that office than were essentially necessary . Mr . Clark was indebted to his Sheffield friends for tfcu mare of their thanks , for the trouble and

expense to which ho had been put in going to that town for electioneering purposes . He went to Sheffield atthe solicitation ofthe Sheffield people themselves . He had only to observe that he had gone to Sheffield to contest the borough , and should necessity require it , he would do so again . Elections did not often occur , and , therefore , rather than give up the right to serve the cause of the people in the way of contesting elections , he would forego the situation which he at present held . Mr . Skevington asked some questions in reference to the expense for the last quarter . Mr . M'GBAIH explained that the great proportion of the expenses were general , and the expense of the Directory ; and as something had been said about the Directors , he , for his part , had been on the Directory , and he considered he had given work worth the wages he had received ; and , further , if his situation depended upon his giving up his advocacy of the " People ' s Charter , " ne would not hold that situation another moment .
Mr . Bostock said his instructions were to move or support a resolution for the reduction of the Board of Directors to three , including Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Bagshaw moved , and Mr . Ouvijr seconded : —*• That the Directors shall not be members of the Chartist Executive . " After a few words , tbe resolution was put from the chair , and negatived almost unanimously . Mr . Sutton said the time was come -when , he thought , men should speak their mind as freely in that room as they did outside that door . Charges were made , however men mi g ht think proper to be silent now
. , . Mr . Edwards moved : — " That eighteen members be appointed , to be divided into committees ot three each . The following gentlemen were appointed : — Messrs . Sutton , Munday , Halliwell , Morgan , Wheeler , Taylor , Council , Saunders , Yates , Dowling , Irvine , Bagshaw , Smith , Oliver , Skevington , C . Clarke , Bostock , and Sweet . The case of Mrs . Watson was brought before the Conference by Mr . Clarke , when the decision of the Directors was confirmed . The Chairman brought forward the case of Mr . G . Wheeler .
Mr . Haixiwell moved , and Mr . Muxbat . seconded : — "That compensation be given to Mr . G . "Wheeler , but that the Directors be empowered to give what they think he is justly entitled to . " Agreed to . The Conference then adjourned until the following morning , at nine o ' clock .

( From , our Third Edition of last week . ) MORE GLORIOUS VICTORIES OF THE
HUNGARIANS . YIE 3 R 5 A , July 28 . —After giving Paskiewich the slip on the night of the 16 th , Georgey marched , by the yeograd-road , northwards of the Tatra mountains . Reaching at Balassa Gyarmath the valley of the Ipoly , he continued his march by the broad easy road which runs along this river to Losoncz , and from thence gained Rima Szombath . Georgey , having baffled Rudiger ' s pursuit , proceeded from Rima Szombath to Rosenau . He first met the Russian outpost of the north at Jaszo , and in this neighbourhood he gained a complete victory over a strong corps . The Russian garrison at Kaschau was struck with consternation at the sudden appearance of an Hungarian army . The new burgomaster and the war
committee there established fled to St . Miskolcz . The garrison dropped all thoughts of defence , and the Magyars entered without opposition . Kaschau , in a strategic point of view , is a highly important place . On this account it was fortified by Paskiewich , and made the head depot of the commissariat supplies from Poland and Gallieia . From Kaschau Georgey marched towards tbe Theiss , which he was to cross at Tokay and Tarzall . The Russian detachments left on the other bank are irretrievablylost . The Theiss is , as in the past winter , the line of operations . The roadtO Gallieia lies open on one side , and communications are established on the other side with Dembinski . A despatch from our Berlin correspondent brings us the confirmation ofthe taking of Temeswar by the Hungarians . That place was stormed on the 13 th ult . Rukawina was killed . —Daily News .
CONSPIRACY IN RUSSIA ! The Polish papers state that a traveller , recently arrived from St . Petersburgh , has brought news of a grand conspiracy and intended insurrection , which was headed by M . Piotrozewski , one of the members ofthe Czar ' s Privy Council ; two hundred and eighty persons had been arrested when the traveller left the Russian capital . Officers with lettres de cachet have been sent to Moscow and to other cities to arrest the members of the conspiracy , which was intended to overthrow the reigning dynasty and establish a republic . A Provisional Government had already been designated by the conspirators , and the plot had spread almost over the whole ofthe empire . Their plans were betrayed by a secretary ofthe Count or Prince Orloff .

Aristocratic Morality Asd Practices. Mar...
ARISTOCRATIC MORALITY asd PRACTICES . MARLBOROUGH-STREET . — The avenues of the court were thronged on Monday , in consequence of it having transpired that tbe lady known as Lola Monies , Countess of Landsfelt , had been apprehended on a charge of bigamy , and was to be examined by Mr . Bingham , the sitting magistrate . Arrangements were promptly made to prevent the court from being inconveniently crowded , and to afford facilities to tho various witnesses . '• Mr . Clarkson appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Bodkin for the Countess of Landsfelt .
About half-past one o ' clock the Countess of Landsfelt , leaning on the arm of Mr . Heald , her present husband , came into court , a \« i was accom * modated with a seat in front of the bar . Mr . Heald also was allowed to have a chair beside her . Tho lady appeared to be quite unembarrassed , and smiled several times as she made remarks to her husband . She was stated to be twenty-four years of age on the police sheet , but has the look of a woman at least thirty . She was dressed in black silk , with close-fitting black velvet jacket , a plain white straw bonnet trimmed with blue , and a blue veil . In figure she is rather plump , and of middle height , of pale dark complexion , the lower part of the features symmetrical , the umier n . irt not so
good , owing to rather prominent cheek-bones , but set off by a pair of unusually large blue eye * with long black lashes . Her reputed husband , Mr . Heald , is a tall young man , uf juvenile figure and aspect , with straight hair , and small li ^ ht brown downy mustachios and whiskers . The nose being turned up gives him an air of great simplicity . During the whole of the proceedings , he sat with the Countess ' s hand clasped in both his own , eccasionally giving it a fervent squeeze , and at particular parts ofthe evidence whispering to her with tbe fondest air , and pressing her . hand to his lips with juvenile warmth . Mr . Clarkson said—Sir , however painful the circumstances under which the ladwho sits at
y my left ( Mr . Heald ' s annt ) is placed , she has felt it to be a duty she owes to her deceased brother ( the father ofthe young gentleman now in court ) to lay before you the evidence of this young gentleman ' s marriage with the lady at the bar , and also other evidence which has led her to impute the offence of bigamy to that lady . In the discharge of my duty I shall atthe commencement of the proceedings have to prove to you that young Mr . Heald , the son of the late well-known Mr . George Heald , ofthe Chancery bar , has gone through the ceremony of marriage with the lady by his side , Eliza Rose Anna , or Rosanna James . I shall further prove to you that the lady is the wife of Thomas James , now captain ofthe 21 st Regiment of Bengal Native Foot , who is
at this time with his regiment in India . The offence imputed to the lad y at the bar by Miss Heald , the aunt , and for some time the guardian of the estate of the young gentleman , is , that knowing that her husband ( Captain James ) was alive , or that every reasonable ground existed for believing that he was alive , she has contracted marriage with this young gentleman , a circumstance which , if established , will render her , as well as others , amenable to the legal results . I will not here enter into particulars unnecessarily painful to any party , but in discharge of my duty to Miss Heald I have no discretion but to state these facts . Miss Heald ' s nephew came of age on the 21 st of last January . He is now supposed to be the husband of Mrs . James , respecting
whom I desire to say nothing except in reference to this case . She calls herself the Countess of Landsfelt , and , whatever may be her distinction or notoriety , I shall refrain from making any allusion to it on such an occasion . This young gentleman has considerable property in his possession , £ 6 , 000 or £ 7 , 000 a year , and on the 19 th of July last he contracted marriage with Mrs . James , who was already married . The first marriage with Mr . James took place in July , 1837 . Mr . James was then a Lieutenant in the regiment of which he is now Captain , and to which he has always belonged . He was married in Ireland , and I have here a copy of the certificate of the clergyman who married him at Meath , in Ireland . From this certificate it
appears that on the 23 d of July , 1837 , Thomas James , of the East India Company ' s Service , a Lieutenant of the 21 st Regiment , was married to Rose Anna Gilbert , spinster . From the absence of parties at present" ! am not yet prepared to establish the legal fact of this marriage ; but I have here an officer of the Consistory Court of the Bishop of London , who will produce a copy of proceedings in that court , and I shall only refer to them to show that the lady at the bar , then the wife of Lieutenant James , went to India with him and returned to England without him . I shall produce Captain Ingram , who brought the lady over here , and who will prove the identity of tie party . That , however , is not a point about which I presume there will be any difficult
y , tor tne lady herself when apprehended admitted she had been the wife of Captain James , but that Lord Brougham had got an act of Parliament to divorce her from Captain James . If such an act of Parliament is in existence no one knows better how to avail himself of it than my learned friend who appears for the defence . I shall prove that the Ecclesiastical Court only granted a divorce a mens & ct thoro , I shall next show that tho second marriage was contracted . I shall call the clerk of St . George ' s , Hanover-square , who will prove the identity of the parties . In addition to this , I have to show from the East India department a record of tho effective State Of the Indian army io the end of lasiJune ; and from that I shall be able tonrovfi
beyond all doubt that Captain James , the husband of the lady at the bar , was then alive in India . This is the substance ofthe evidence I Shall produce before you on this occasion , lam bound further to state that this proceeding is , on the part of the aunt , Miss Heald , without the consent of Mr . Heald , her nephew , who no doubt would , if he could , prevent these proceedings from being carried on . Miss Heald has felt it to be her duty to the family of the young gentleman , who are highly respectable , to take these proceedings , even without his consent ; and no one , I think , will venture to impugn the motives or the purity of the intentions of Miss Heald in taking this step . My application to the Court is for the lady at the bav to be remanded until such time as we can get the proper witnesses from India to come forward . For this
purpose I shall proceed to prove that when the lady married this young gentleman , on the 19 th of July , her husband , Captain James , was alive in India . Miss Heald , an aged lady , was called . She said —My name is Susanna Heald , of Headington-grove , Horncastle , Lincolnshire . I am unmarried , and am sister to the late Mr . George Heald , Chancery barrister . That young gentleman is my nephew , and son of my late brother . He has a commission in the army . I was appointed as his guardian by the Court of Chancery . He became of a ^ e in January last . I have felt it to be my duty to prosecute this inquiry . Thomas Howard Montague , clerk in the Consistory Court , produced the record of the proceedings in the suit of " James v . James . " The decree of the Court was a divorce from bed and board . Witness had a copy of the sentence .
The Countess of Landsfelt with an impatient gesture said , " I don't deny it . " Mr . Clarkson read the decree of separation , which was dated the loth of December , 1842 , It decreed . that Thomas James and Eliza Rose Anna James be separated ; but that neither party have power to contract another marriage during lifetime . Frederick Danvers , clerk in the East India House , produced a copy of the return of the effective state ofthe army in India made up to the 13 th of June last . At the period of that return Captain James was alive and in India with his regiment .
Charles Powell , parish clerk of St . George ' s , Hanover-square , produced the register of marriages contracted between George Trafford Heald and Maria Tores de Landsfelt . Was not present during the ceremony , but saw the parties now in court sign their names in the register . ' They were married by licence by the curate , the Rev . A , Alston . Miss Heald said the handwriting in the register was the handwriting of her nephew . Police Sergeant Gray . - —I am a police sergeant in the detective force . I took the Countess into custody this morning about nine o ' clock , at No 27 Halfmoon-street . The Countess wasinthenasq < um '
just about to set into her carriage . I told her she must consider herself in my custody on a charee of bigamy , she having intermarried with Mr Heald her former husband , Captain James , being alive ' The Countess replied she had been divorced from Captain James by act of Parliament . The Countess said , « I don't know whether Captain James is alive or not , and I don t care . I was married in a wron «• name , and it was not a legal marriage ; what will the King say ? Lord Brougham was present when a a divorce was granted , and Captain Osborne can prove it . " Inspector Whau confirmed the police-sergeant ' s statement . °
Mr . Clarkson intimated that this was all the evidence he should bring forward that day , with the exception of Captain Ingram , who brought the lady from India . . ¦ ¦ * Captain Charles Ingram , — Commanded the Larkins , East India trader . Had brough t Mrs James from India . Had no doubt the lady in court was the same person , though , since that time she had altered considerably . Had seen Captain James when he brought his wife on board . This was in the year 1811 or 1842 , witness did hot know which but could easily refer to his books . - ' This being the evidence for the present Mr Clarkson intimated that he should leave the en so in the hands of the Court . . " CaSe ln Mr . Bopkis appeared on behalf of the lady who had been dragged flat morning to a station-houso to answer a charge which , in alibis professional experience , wii £ perfea % unparalleled .

It was ^ m J „ rhTX s tdegree lmprobab 1 ethat a charge of this sort would be attempted to be evaded by the parties mo t interested in the in quiry , and he hoped , therefore , his request would be acceded to . He would not attempt to cast any reflections on the motives of those who had brought forward the . case , but it must be clear that a private , and not a public pbiect , originated the present proceedings . _ Mr Bingham , after a short consultation with Mr . Hardwicksaid — It is observable in the present
, case that the person most immediately interested a ) person of full age and holding a commission in her Majesty ' s service ) is not the person to institute or countenance the prosecution . It is quite compatible with the evidence now produced that the accused may have received by the same mail from India a letter a few hours later than the official return communicating the death of Captain James by cholera or other casualty . The law presumes she is innocent till the usual proof of guilt has been brought forward . Here that proof is wanting , and the magistrate is requested to act on a presumption of guilt . I feel great reluctance in domg so , even to the extent of a remand , without an assurance on the part of the prosecutor that the evidence
necessary to insureaconvictionwillcertainlybe producible on a future occasion . No such assurance can be given in this case , because between the 13 th of June and the last marriage , a period of near six weeks , Capt James may have been snatched from life by any of those numerous casualties with which life is beset in a military profession and a tropical climate . However , upon the express admission by the advocate , that in his judgment sufficient ground has been laid for further inquiry , and upon his offer to find security , I shall venture to order a remand , and to liberate the prisoner , upon finding two sureties in £ 500 each , and herself in £ 1 , 000 , for her re-appearance here on a future day . Bail was immediateb tendered and accepted .
Tlie Countess of Landsfelt and her husband were allowed to remain some time in court in order to elude the gaze of the crowd which had assembled before the court . WESTMINSTER . Mr . Richard James Webb , of Brompton , described as a money-lender and horsedealer , appeared . to a summons charging him with horsewhi pping and otherwise assaulting Mr . Thomas Holden Alleyne , formerly a captain in the army . — Mr . Clarkson , who attended on the part of the complainant , having stated the circumstances of the case , dwelt upon the indignity inflicted upon his client by the peculiar nature of the assault , and observed , from the position in society in which the defendant—whom he described as a horse-dealermoved , he had adopted the only course that
presented itself , by bringing the offender to that court . He then adverted to an offensive letter written by his client to the defendant , which gave rise to the assault , deeply regretting that ne should have written it , although it could not be held as any jus . tification ofthe assault , but observed that his client had been betrayed by the transaction into the strong expression of his feelings . —The assault complained of was freely admitted by Mr . Lane , solicitor to the defendant , who observed , that although the offensive letter was certainly not in law a justification , yet it certainly was as great a provocation and palliation as could possibly be set up—Mr . Burrell having conceived , from the course taken , that it was the wish of the complainant that he should exercise
summaryjurisdiction , fined the defendant £ 5 , observing that it was the sort of case he should have felt it his duty to have sent to the sessions . —Mr . Alleyne having stated that it was his wish that the matter should be sent before a jury the magistrate proceeded to take the evidence . Mr . Alleyne , of 94 , Ebury-street , Pimlico . on being sworn , said , that on the second day of Ascot races lie was at Slough with Sir John Malcolm and Captain Davcey , and while there the latter borrowed £ 100 of him . On the settling day after the races Captain Darcey came to Tattersall ' s and handed complainant his cheque on Oox . and Co . for . £ 300 , requesting him to take the £ 100 and give him change , which he did , the cheque being cashed by Captain Price . The
latter gentleman shortly afterwards wrote to him informing him that the cheque had been dishonoured , and demanding repayment of the £ 300 , which he ( complainant ) immediately forwarded a cheque for , Captain Darcey made an apology , and said it was not his fault , but that of a Mr . Webb , who ought to have paid the amount in . "Upon comp lainant applying to Captain Darcey , he handed him another cheque for £ 300 , in lieu of the first . This was about the 20 th of June , and upon complainant paying it into his bankers , they presented it , and it was also dishonoured . Complainant saw Sir John Malcolm and Captain Darcey about it , and they declared it was . Webb ' s ( the defendant ' s ) fault , as he had promised to pay the money . Subsequently
complainant received three letters irom delendant upon the subject of his cheque being dishonoured . —[ The letters were put in and read : the first contained promises to pay if it were again sent to the bankers , and requested that no blame should be attached to anybody else ; but in the subsequent ones it was alleged tbat another party should have paid the money in to meet it , and that defendant had desired his bankers not to pay it unless the amount expected was so paid ; and then again there was a promise to pay it m a few days , af time was given . ] Complainant went on to state that at an interview with defendant he again promised to pay , but the cheque remained dishonoured to this time . It having been
frequently presented , complainant wrote a letter to defendant . This letter , which was also put in and read , was couched in very offensive terms , and accused the defendant of very dishonourable conduct in respect of the cheque for £ 300 . Complainant said his reason for writing such a letter was , as stated , the innumerable times the defendant had broken his promises , and his slippery behaviour and misrepresentations . On the 4 th of July complainant was riding on horseback between Belgravestreet and Belgrave-square , when Sir John Malcolm and defendant drove up in a phaeton , and Webb said , " What do you mean by sending me that letter ? " Complainant replied , he meant exactly what was in the letter , and he richly deserved it ;
upon which defendant jumped out of the phaeton , and made an attack upon him with a stick , at the same time trying to pull him off his horse . Com ,-plainant drew the stick out of his hand , and defendant then ran back to the phaeton , took the carriagewhip out of Sir John Malcolm's hand , and attacked him again , flipping the horse on the ear , and striking at him , but not coming within reach ofthe stick , using all the time , as on first addressing him , disgusting language . The horse got frightened , reared , plunged , and at last turned round and galloped away . The phaeton was driven on ; and be then followed , when they stopped , and defendant said , " You mean to strike me , do you ? " Complainant replied "No ; I have come to ask you'what you mean by your cowardly behaviour ? " Defendant then took the whip out of Sir John ' s hand and thrust it in his face , using disgusting language .
Complainant then defended himself as well as he could , and struck him with the stick . The horse again took fright , and defendant several times struck complainant and the horse with the whip , Complainant , who had no stick or whip in his hand when first attacked , then threw defendant ' s stick at his head and rode away . —The complainant then stated that he had been informed by Sir John Malcolm that the sum of £ 300 ( the amount of these cheques ) was included in a bond of £ 3 , 000 or £ 4 , 000 held by Mr . Webb , which Sir John Malcom assigned as a reason for not paying the cheque . —Mr . Webb denied this in the most positive manner , and his solicitor declared that he had been a suffering party m the transaction . Mr . Webb having admitted the assault , but denied the disgusting language , he was ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions . Bail was shortly put in .
. MARYLEBONE . —A Heartless Wretch . —John ¦ lidd was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton charged with having , under circumstances of a most heartless nature , robbed a voun ? worn ™ named Martha Staker ! of a eonsid ^ rabi sum of money and other property . Mr . Wontner attended for the prosecution , ' and Mr . Grange for the prisoner . A great deal of evidence was gone into , and it appeared that in May last , the prisoner , who is known by several aliases , first became acquainted With prosecutrix , at which period she was living in the service of a family in Cadogan-place ; she iubseqaently quitted her situation , and advertised for a place as plain cook , with directions that all annlicantsi were to address letters in answer to be left at Mr .

Upper-Montagu-street , Russell-square , was placed at the bar before * Mr . Henry , charged with a rape upon Mary Johanna Neary , a housemaid in the service ofthe family . —Mr . Humphreys attended for the defendant . — The prosecutrix said she was twenty-six years of age ( she looked much older ) , and had lived in the service of the defendant ' s father about three months . On Sunday morning last , during divine service , and while the family were at church , she was at her work in the bedroom adjoining the defendant ' s , when young Mr . Gregory came
into the room with nothing but his dressing-gown upon him , and asked if they were gone to church . She replied that she did not know . He then approached her , and , after a stout resistance , effected his purpose , in spite of his efforts to prevent him . — The prosecutrix was cross-examined at great length by the d efendant ' s solicitor , to whom she admitted that he had been in the habit of kissing her and taking indecent liberties with her repeatedly for six weeks past . She had never mentioned it to her mistress , thinking that he might desist , and not liking to lose her situation . On the Sunday morning in question the parlourmaid and a boy were in the house at the time ; they did not come to her assistance . He had often kissed the parlourmaid also ,
but they did not think anything of kissing . She entreated him not to cause her rum , but he only replied that she had been ruined before , which she solemnly died . She did not remember if the door ot the room was shut . She believed it was ajar , or partly closed . —By Mr . Henry : It did not occur to her that she could have defended herself better by keeping the slop-pail in her hands than by putting it down . Her object was to have the use of her hands . —Mr . Henry , without hearing the remaining evidence , declined to commit the defendant on the charge of rape , after tho admissions made by the girl herself . —The defendant was thereupon discharged . CLBRKENWELL . —Sisters' Quarrels . —A dissipated looking woman , named Martha Mackford , who conducted herself in a violent manner when placed at the bar , was charged by her sister with having threatened her life . —The prisoner , who conducted herself like a maniac , used the most dreadful
threats towards her sister , and exclaimed , " Give me my shawl , give me my bonnet ;" . and she was so extravagantly violent that it required two constables to hold her down at the bar whilst the case was proceeded with . —The sister ' s statement went to prove that on the previous night the prisoner called upon her in a very quiet mood , when they sat down together , had supper , and made themselves cozy over some whisky and water , when all on a . sudden the prisoner went into a passion , raved and swore at her shockingly , and threatened to have her life , and would have done her some mischief had it not been for the arrival of the police . The witness said that the prisoner assumed madness . —Mr . Combe : Are you in danger of your life from her threats ?—Witness : I am , your worship . —Mr . Combe : Then she must find bail to keep the peace . —The prisoner struggled violently , threatened to " do for her sister when she had an opportunity , and after great difficulty the officers locked her up .

7 " »' BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT . Hastie v . Sir II . W . Barron , M . P . —A Footmaw's Claim ron Wages . —This was an action against the defendant by the plaintiff late footman in that gentleman ' s service , to recover a month's wages in lieu of a month ' s warning . —Plaintiff stated that on the 21 st of May last he entered Sir Henry ' s service at the stipulated wages of twentyfive guineas per annum . On the evening of Sunday , the 24 th of June , he was talking to a friend in the area when Sir Henry came down , and addressing him said , " You drunken vagabond , you leave my service to-morrow . " He received no further notice , and on the next day , on Sir Henry paying him £ 2 10 s . 6 d . for the five weeks he had been with
him , he quitted the house . —Sir Henry said that the p laintiff was repeatedly drunk , and on the Sunday in question Lady Barron , on returning from a visit to Lord Palmerston's , having complained that while accompanying the carriage thither he had used exceedingly offensive bnguagc , he ( Sir Henry ) determined on immediately discharging him . To prove that he was drunk on the Sunday he would call his coachman , who , however , on ascending the witnessbox , refused to be sworn . —Judge : What persuasion are you , coachman ?—Coachman : That ' s my business ; but my conscience won't let me take fln Oath . —Ml ' . Wright ( chief clerk ) : You ' re . liable to be committed for contempt for that answer . — Sir Henry : Your honour , his refusal to be sworn ought to make his testimony more valuable : but
can't y on send him to prison for not taking the oath ? ( Laughter . )—Judge : No . —Coachman : Sir Henry don't mean that . ( Laughter . )—Sir Henry Well , I can't make him out . ( Laughter . )—Judge : Nor I either ; for if he knows anything he seems resolved to keep it to himself . —Sir Henry here asked the case to be adjourned while he fetched Lady Barron , who , on returning with him , deposed that she believed tho plaintiff was drunk on the Sunday , as he staggered about , and on the carriage leaving the door , shouted loudly to the coachman , "Don't go the wrong way , you ' re as mad as her ladyship . '—His honour said , that such misbehaviour being fully sworn to , fully justified Sir Henry in acting as he had , and he should dismiss the plaint . Plaintiff nonsuited .

O tsters . — Tho oysters of the British coasts have lornr been admitted to be the best procurable in Europe . The Romans paid great prices for them , although it is not likely that they would then be taken to Italy in a fresh state . Of the British coasts the districts most famous for their oysters are the shores of Kent and Essex . Those found near Milton , in Kent , and usually called the " native" oysters , are perhaps the very best ; they are small , round , p lump , and white , with thin shells , which are easily opened . The oysters found in the river Colne , on which stands the city of Colchester , in Essex , are also of excellent quality , and arc renowned over the whole island . Massinger has made them classical , by causing " Justice
Greedy , " in a New Way to Pay Old Debts , to say that he had nothing to speak of this morning before breakfast , except a barrel of Colchester oysters . The Colne , near the town , forms a great many arms and creeks exceedingly well suited for the formation of oyster banks . The Dorsetshire oysters rank next " in estimation to those of Essex . Those of Poole , especially , hold a high reputation ; as do those of Faversham in Kent , ofthe Isle of Wight , and of Tenby on the coast of South Wales . Vast quantities are carried to the continent from Kent . Several hundred vessels were at one time employed annually in this trade alone . In London , at the proper season , the trade in oysters is very considerable , both for exportation into the country , and for
native consumption . The dealers bestow great pains in preserving and feeding the oysters m tubs containing an infusion of salt water and oatmeal . Besides those on the English shores , oyster hanks are very common on the northern coasts of Ireland , The Scottish capital has been , till a recent period , plentifully supplied with good oysters from the Frith of Forth , in its immediate vicinity . Nearly opposite to Leith there was a large depot of them , formed around or near the islet or InchKeith . Local poets speak with rapture of the delicious " caller" ( that is , fresh ) " oysters" which were to be had in Edinburgh for evening festivities . From mismanagement , or some other cause , the Edinburgh ovsters have greatly degenerated in quality ;
and the town has consequently lost one ot its objects of attraction . Dublin is supplied from Ark . low a liutle to the east , and oysters are conveyed t * artificial beds , near the capital , on the northern side . At Sutton . Polebeg , and Dalkey , places but a short way from Dublin , additional supplies are procured for the tables of the Irish metropolitans . Tub Potato Crop . — The dry weather of May and . June and the first half of July has apparently saved the potato crop . At least , there are no serious indications of disease up to the present time . Here and there potatoes have been attacked , but the cases have proved local both in Great Britain and
Ireland . That we are not yet safe is , however , to be gathered from a report by the Inspector of the Highland Relief Board , dated Lochalsh , in Rossshire , July 25 th , 1849 . This intelligent officer states that it has broken out in the village whence his letter is dated , and that it made its appearance there a month ago , on the spot where he first detected it in 1847 and 1848 . We have reason to believe that in the district here alluded to the bad effects of a safe potato harvest are already observable . The peasantry are losing their industry , and trusting to the root of idleness , while others , who had prepared to emigrate , have changed their minds . —Gardener ' s Chronicle .
