eon ana now , was connnea 10 one grana its magnitude , arrived the other day at the Craig pier with a flock of sheep , intending to cross over to Fife . It being low water , acd the boat already well laden , the captain told him he must wait the next hour , as he was afraid he would not have water enough to float from the pier- ' Water enuff , ' quoth John Ilighhndman , with the utmost amazement , ' Och , man , if he ditrna hae water enuff in the rouekJe sea , fa wud ye get it than ?'
Fire is tab Ozj > -Kbki Road . —On Wednesday evening , beeween seven and eight o ' clock , a fire broke ouson the premises belonging to Mr Munday , a carpenter and builder , carrying on business in St Janet ' s place , Canal-bridge , Old Kent-road . The fire originated , it is supposed , from a spark flying from alighted candle in the lower part of' the dwelling house , and progressed with such violence that in ten minutes the hou-e was one sheet of flame . Several parties at once set to work to extinguish tbe flames , but without success , and the workshops and the piles ef wood next became ignited . Scvcr . il en
gines soon reached the scene , but notwithstanding the immense quantity of water scattered over the flames , they were not subdued until the dwellinghouse , the workshops , and timber-yard were reduced to ruins . Tin dataage done is very considerable , and the sufferer is insured for only Jb' 500 . Independent of Mr Munday ' a loss , the premises of Mr Wickson , butcher , have sustained much damage , the roof of the slaughter-house being burned , and the back part ofthe dwelling severely injured . The buildings occupied by Mr Payne , shoemaker , have sustained much damage .
The pent-up archaeology of Scotland has at length found a safety-valve in the projection of a threehalfpenny periodical devoted to topography , antiquities , and tradition .

LiVEn , Stomach , asd Bowel complaints , cured by Holloway ' s tills . —In close , hot , or sultry weather , the food in the stomach frequently ferments and brings on bowel complaints , which is at all times dangerous to ¦ weak and elderly persons . When the liver is out of order it induces heavy or drowsy sensations , the forerunners of direful diseases , as Dropsy , Apoplexy , Paralytic Strokes , & c . Such , and other baneful consequences are immediately prevented by a few doses of these searching- Pills , whiletUey speedily and surely banish disease when the system is already under its direct influence . Persons at the turn of life should , at so critical a period , take Hol-Z loway ' s Pills . Xapoleoh Boxafabte . —His fate furnishes a remarkable instance ofthe instability of human greatness , and there is no doubt that his dislike to medicine remotely caused his early dissolution ; for rather than take some simple remedy , he allowed disease to gain the ascendancy over his constitution , and death was the result . Thus it Is that persons cannot be too watchful of their suite of health , and being always provided with a safe and efficient medicine , such as Frampton's Pill of Health , ^ enjoy the . two greatest Wfesings of this srorld , health and low life . ;

Need we look further for precedents than Burden or Brougham , —who once so great patriots as they 1 And tviio since such renegades t It is such creature ? as they who retard the cause of liberty far more than the people's oppressors ; they di « gust the ardent , ridicule their principles , and bring into contempt the active and sincere advocates of freedom . It is much to be desired that tbe new blood which will flow into St Stephen ' s , in the persons of Pox , Pearson , J . Williams , and Thompson , will not be inoculated with the aristocratic itch ; that their . eloquence will not evaporate in Dr Reid's atmosphere -, that their nerves will not be shaken by the aristocratic cock-crowing ; that
their vanity will not be fed at the mahogany of a Lord Fitz-foodle ; that their humble acquaintances will not be shirked upon meeting them arm-in-arm with , or iu tbe fashionable cabriolet of , a Sir William Mud ; and that they will not forget those who gave them the entree to such goodly company , and the grade from which they sprang . I aro led thus to remark , upon perusing in the Stae the report of the' Tower Hamlets demonstration , ' in which I find tbe following evidence of a succumbing spirit on the part of Mr G , Thompson : — ' It was his intention as soon as he was upon sufficiently intimate terms with his honourable colleague , & c . ' : Mr O'Connor referred tD this passage , and it is to be hoped that the gentle hint he gave upon the subject will not be lost .
Sir , if Messrs Pox , Thompson , Williams , and Pearson , are really desirous of serving tbe masses , they must follow in the wake of Messrs 0 'Coni . or , Buncombe , and Wakley . They must treat their aristocratieal associates with becoming contempt ; return the disdain which will undoubtedly be evinced to them , and as in the next session there will be the devil to pay , they must always keep their pilcft not . Itmay be said , that , the gentlemen in question are quite capable of taking care of themselves ; no doubt they are , for as yet tbe breath of slander has not Ml foul of them , but so we thought of Brougham , Btirdett , and tlie counterfeit Harvey . We all know evil communications coirapt good manners , and that the danger arises from our aptness te imitate tbe manners of others , when put before us in an attractive ' form , and from the pains taken to corrupt us ; and as tbe itfto blood men are now public property , they must expect to be well watched , cautioned , and questioned , . without taking offence at the public doing so . .

THE PROPOSED LEAGUE FOR THE ABOLITION OF NATIONAL WRONGS . TO TBE EDITOE OP THE NOBTHEBK STAE , DeaeSie , — The letter of a 'Constant Reader' upon this subject ( inserted In your last ) proves how little he knows of me or my proposal , t am no more an' O'Brienite ' than I am an' O'Connorite . ' I am no man ' s' ite , ' though if either Mr O'Brien or Mr O'Connor propose a good thing I aro willing to support it , as far as in my power lies . Mr Gsmniage I only spoke with once , and I then told him what I have told many more , that they
were going in anything but the right course ; I have never been ' misled , 'because I would not be led ; I am my own leader , and when I fail to be such I shall consider myself unfit for service ; the individual who requires leading being , in my opinion , but to much live lumber . However , with regard to the League in question , the idea originated with myself and a very few fiienda , who lament the loss of time , talent , and means , which is bestowed upon little societies against particmV wrongs , when one grand League would abolish all wrongs ih"a short time ; O'Brien has publicly opposed this League scheme , declaring that the people are ignorant , want instruction , and arc not yet prepared for action ; and some think the National Charter Association so complete that there is no dancer of my proposal being carried into
effeet . very speedily . When , however , the people consider tbe question ]) fairly , they will see that it is much more rational to draw up a list of wrongs , and send to Parliament m ? n who will abolish tbehi , than it is to unite and i etition men for rights who never mean to grant them ; but , so far as I am concerned , it is immaterial to me which course the people take . One great error of the people is , in supposing that persons hare an interest in bringing forirard plans for the benefit of all , Judging from the present state of public patriotism , I should say that few persons have a far greater interest in keeping in than coming out .

THE SLEAFORD TRAGEDY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE KOBTHEBH STAR . Sir , —I have been a humble worker in the good cause of right against might for a number of years , « nd have not until now requested a corner in the people ' s only paper , bnt having waited the last fortnight , fully expecting some other London member or members ofthe National Land Company would have expressed their sentiments on the above horrible occurrence , I feel it my duty ( if you will permit me ) to say a few words on the matter . What are the London tranches about that they sit tamely down beneath this terrible wrong ? A worthy ,
honourable , active raembsr of our glorious L-md movement has been cruelly slaughtered in the public streets , and the authorities ! the Lord save us / call it 'Excusable Homicide !' . Pshaw ! There is sot a shadow of excuse for this nothing less than murder , and if ever , a man emght to be brought to justice for the perpetration of a foul crime , that brutal petty tyrant Sharps ought not to eccape . Methioks if a large meeting was held In Londen for the purpose of bringing prominently before the public all the circumstances of this dreadful case , and strongly worded resolutions were passed , loudly condemning-the atrocious decision of these non excusable Dogberries , and demanding of their masters a further investigation , it would encourage the good men of Sleaford , and strengthen the hsnds of that indefatigable putriot find
honest lawyer , ( aud God knows we ought to prize him , for honest lawyers in our day are few and far between , ] Ernest Jones , ( he ought to bo called earnest Jones , ) for he has nobly done his duty . We number nearly forty thousand members , and if each sub-cribed one penny it would amount to £ 160 . for the benefit of the bereaved widow . ' Oh ! let us not as Chartists , as Landsmen , as lovers of mercy , of justice , and of right , practically belie our principles , by refusing to aid tho widow and the fatherless under such terribly afflicting circumstances , and in heaven ' s name , let not London , which ought to be the most forward , bs the most backward in doing good , I am , Sir , In tbe bonds of Democracy , yours , John Bszeb , Ciippltgate Branch ,

CHARTIST POLICY . TO TBE EDITQS OF THE KOKTBERK STAB , Deab Sia , —You were so kind as to insert the letter I seat you a few weeks since , for whieh 1 return you my sincere thanks . And you were also pleased to accompany that letter with a few remarks , which of course you had a | perfect right to do . In repl y to those remarks , I have only to say , that . although I do not see either tbe justice or soun = i policy' conveyed in them , I do not feel inclined to enter upon the subject , as it could be productive of no manner of good , and would only be opening old wounds which have already preyed too much on the body of Cttartism . My object in writing at present is to correct an error into which one of your correspondents in last week ' s Star has fallen .
1 regret that such correspondent ( nhbevcr he may be ) did not read my letter , bad he done so , he would have seen that there is no connection between my plan and that of Mr H . D . Griffiths , Your correspondent remarks that we have already an Executive and an Election and Registration Committee in existence . . I know we have , and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see one oi the other , or both of these bodies , recommend .
The Scottish Maulino. To The Iditoe Of T...
THE SCOTTISH MAULino . TO THE IDITOE OF THE NORTHBBH STAB , Sib , — Your paper of August 21 st contains a letter professing to give an account of the , proceedings of the committee for the erection of the monument to tbe memory of Baird and Hardy , but which letter contains many false statements ; I only intend , however , to notice one ofthe number , and were it not that it is likely to tend to the discredit ofthe committee I would not have taken any notice of it . The statement that I refer to is in the first paragraphand is as follows : — * The working men of
Qlas-, go « v , the men who toil and thinU , have done honour to the dead by collecting a hundred and fifty pounds , and erecting a monument therewith . ' Now this statement appeared rather strange to some of your Glasgow readers , from the fact that 1 had stated at a meeting of tubseribers and the public , nineteen dajs previous to the above date , that I had only received in all , the sura of ninety-two pounds , but that there wcr » fifteen pounds more to be accounted for in the purchase of the ground on which the monument is erected , making in s . 11 one hundred and seeen pounds , in place ot £ 150 , as the writer of the letter above referred to states . Well might
parties ask what has become of the money , when I only accounted for , £ 107 , while we have here a statement niade by one of the committee , who states the sum collected to be £ 150 . I . have only to say . in conclusion , that the committee will require & I 50 j to finish their work , and if any of your readers will favour us with subscriptions , they will be thankfully acknowledged . In the name of the committee , Yours refptctfully . Jas . Waikeb , sub-treasurer . 185 , High-street , Glasgow .

Guildhall.— Police Committee; —The Pouce...
GUILDHALL . — Police Committee ; —The Pouce again . —Mr J . BlancharJ , a stationer , of 11 , Budgerow , was summoned for obstructing J . Baldwin , 44 C City police , in the execution of bis duty . On the 3 id inst ., as the defendant was passing through Upper Thamesstreet , a disturbance had arisen owing to Baldwin using what appeared to bystanders unnecessary violence , in compelling a vendor of fruit to go away . A man of the name of Edwards was passing at the time , having a large bag on his shoulders ; he remonstrated with the constable upon his conduct , when he was at once laid hold of by Baldwin , and told he should take him to the station-house for obstructing him in the execution of bis
duty . The man put down his bag and refused to go ; several persona interfered , and the defendant feeling that ' a gross excess of duty was being parsued by the policeman , also interfered , and advised Edwards if the police constable-persisted , not to carry his bag , but as the constable was the younger of the two , to compel him to carry it , and he ( the defendant ) would go to the station-house and represent the conduct of thp . consjable to ^ the inspector . He did so , and on the defendsut av . riving at the G iriick-hill station , before ho could see the inspector , Bsil . lwin took him into custody and placed him in the dock , making a charge against him for Obstructing him in the exercise of his duty . The ,
inspector refused to entertain cither of the , charges , and directed the constable if he had any complaint to make to summon the parties . Alderman Copchnd said it was most monstrous that a tradesman of the'City of London should be subjected , at tVe mere willand caprice of a police . cjnstable , to be taton into custody and placed in the dock appropriated to felons , simply because there was a faaeied obstruction in . the exercise of his duty . Such an occurrence could not have taken place in tho metropolitan district without the constable ' s dismissal . He sliouU mark bis sense of the conduct ofthe constable by dismissing the summons . There was also a summons against Edwards , which the alderman dismissed .
HAMMERSMITH . — Mobe ' Respectabiuti ' and PetttLarcenct . —A . Waller , who refused to give his address , was filially examined on a charge of robbfry , while pretending to bo in ' search of lodgings . " On Satuv . day the 4 th inst ., the prisoner called to fee some Jo" ? g . irgi at the borne of Mr C . W , Duinford , High-street , Notting-hill . Mrs Durhford , showed him the rooms . While the prisoner was inquiring , very minutely , as to the accommodation , he suddenly asked lior if she would obli ge him with a glass of spring water , at which juncture Mr Dutuford entered the room . He prevented his wife getting tho water , and asked the prisoner , who agreed to take the apattments . for his name and a refer , ence , The prisoner accordingly wrote down , ' Mr John Robena' as his name , and his reference 'MrsMiley , 1
No . 5 , Quintain . stroet , Milc . cnd-road . ' and quitted the house , sayiug he should wish to enter the lodgings in two or three days , Mr Durnford , however , suspect id at once the prisoner ' s o'jict was plunder , and deter , mined on watching his proceedings . He accordingly followed him unporceived until he saw-him go to the house of Mi s Spice , No , 4 , Notting-hill-terrace , where Waller knocked at the door . Knowing that Mrs Spice was 90 years of age , and bedridden , also that if he went to the house the prisoner would recognise him , MrDttrr .. ford looked out for some other person , and seeing Mr C , E . Barnes , surgeon , called aim to his assistance , and explained the circumstances to him . Mr Barnes hap . pened to be Mrs Spice ' s medical attendant , and went to
the house . On being admitted , ho found one of the servants in the front parlour with the prisoner , who was explaining to her that he should each morning wish bis boots to hsvo an exquMte polish , Mr Barnes immediately told the prisoner that be $ \\ not believe that he wanted any lodging , and ordered Him to accompany him into another room . The ptiaom-r Hi so , and Mr Barnes directed him to empty his pockets , on Which he pulled out a pair of old-fashioned stiver sugar-tongs , and gave them up . They were found to have been taken from a drawer of a sideboard in the front parlour while the servant went up stairs to Mrs Spice to communicate to her the prisoner's application for the lodgings . He was then given Into custody .
On Monday a solicitor , with some members of tho prisoner ' s f tmiiy , were in attendance . His solicitor submitted there was no case against his client , inasmuch as there was no positive proof that the sugar tongs were Mrs Spice ' s property , or tbot they were in the drawer on the Saturday , not haying been seen from the previous Wednesday . Mr Beadon ! said he differed in Mo from that opinion . He thought that the case had clearly been made out against ths prisoner , whom be must commit fortrial . The solicitor trusted the worthy magistrate would not inflict such a disgrace on the family of tho prisoner , who were of the highest respectability . He had received a liberal education , and it would be destroying him to send him to prison , as be would ever after lose all self-respect . After repeated endeavours of the solicitor tsget a fine inflicted , during which the prisoner sobbed and wept , Mr B- > ndon said
he did not know : whether he was acting riiiht in doing what he was going to do , when the inquiry showed that , had it not been for the energetic conduct of Mr Durn . ford and Mr Barnes , the prisoner might have bad in his possession a quantity of more valuable property . When , however , he was asked to temper justice with irercy , he could but bear in mind the number of persons brough ! before him on similar charges , who were not so well educated as the prisoner ; and therefore , although he would take tbe case under tho clause pointed out , he would not inflict a penalty , which he had been asked to do , as he felt . ho should not be dotnr . his duty if he did not send the prisoner to prison , with hard labour for two months . Tho solicitor implored the magistrate to alter His decision as far as hard labour was . concerned , and remit that ; but Mr Beadon firmly resisted the op . peal , and tbe prituner was con > mitted ,
SOUTHWAUK . —Attempt to Poison a Wife . —John Marshall , charged with having attempted to poison his wife , Elizabeth , by infusing tobacco in ale which she drank , was brought before Mr Seeker for re-examination . The wife bad also been locked up , owing to ber having neglected to attend the second examination . Mr Wagstaffe , tho police surgeon , described that upon analyzing the contents brought away from the complainant ' s stomach , a portion of strong snuff was discovered , which it was apparent w ; s the powder which the prisoner was observed to mix In the ale , and it was further confirmed by a witness who stated that on tbo night in question the prisoner walked into his shop and purchased some snuff . The complainant again solicited fur ber husband ' s discharge , but the magistrate said that there was evidence
of tbe deleterious nature of tbe article mixed in the ale , and it might have produced herdeath if prompt measures has not been adopted . Complainant : I hope your worship will not scud me to gaol again . Mr Seeker : I have no wish to imprison you if you find bail that you will appear , but a warrant was obliged to be issued to compel you to come forward , and if you are permitted to go at large you might probably keep out of the way , so that the prisoner might escape from this charge on which he has been taken into custody , Prisoner : I hope my wife will be allowed to use her own discretion iu the matter ; it ip hard to make a woman prosecute her husband when she has no wish to do so , Mr Seeker said that the offence with which the prisoner was charged was one of a most serious description , aad although his wife

had expressed ft StrflOBjdisfa ^ Uniirtonii ' pMss the charge , still upon public gro & nda ithWaa ^ compnlsory upon her to prosecute . The complainant , who said it was impossible she could get bail , was then with her husband conveyed to the county gaol .. ' £ .. ; ; J THAMES . -i ' A PickfocMT ; " — John Calton was charged with ' . baying stolen two sovereigns from a respectable lookirigmah ? named Thomas Herbert , who in bis turn was alleged to have embezzled tbe money , From the evidence of a young man named Thomas Pears , it appeared that late on Saturday night the prosecutor was very drunk in Osborne-street , Wbitechapel , and attracted a crowd around him by his mad antics , Witness saw a great , many thieves collect on . the spot , amongst whom was the prisoner , who " , watching his opportunity , slipped
bis hands into tho prosecutor's pocket , and pulled out two sovereigns . Witness immediately seised him , when his own arms were pinioned to his side , A constable coming up , seized tbe man who was pinioning llim , Witnets saW thU is not the thief , that * s him running up Osborne-street . The policeman sprung his rattle , and witness pursued , and eventually succeeded in capturing the prisoner . In his defence Calton betrayed his Old Bailey association by commencing 'Gentlemen of tne 1 mean your worship ( correcting himself ) , don ' listen to that young man . Is it likely I would rob a poor man that was tip-y ? . ( Laughter . ) I would rather take care of him , and see him safe home . ' ( Laughter . ) Mr Yardley said he might tell that tale to a jury . Hcshould fully commit him to take his trial for the felony .
Thj prosecutor , Thomas Herbert , was then in his turn placed in the dock , charged with having embf zzled £ 2 . 4 s , the property of bis employer , Mr Henry Usher Davis , lamp cotton and glass manufacturer , of No . 19 , Maundersplace , Mlle-end . ioad . Mr Davis stated that the prisoner was in his employ . It was his duty to dt liver goads , receive the money , and sometimes collect bills , hut to pay all monqjs received over to him every evening . He bad been sent on Saturday with a receipt for £ 2 . -Is to Mr Burrs , of Wapping , who had paid him tbe money , but as hn never returned , and would not account for the money on Sunday , he gave him into custody . Mr Yardley thought the money had now been accounted for . At any rate the evidence was not sufficient to sustain a charge of embezzlement , and he should dismiss the case , '
Two women , named Catherine Eonoghuo and Elizabeth Pike , surrendered before Mr Yardley , on bail , and Catherine Gilbert , a girl aged 17 , was brought up in custody , oh remand , charged with stealing a box containing 18 or 19 sovereigns , some trinkets , and other property , in the dwelling house of Richard Scott , n Custom-house officer , Bedford-street , Commercial-road . This case was a very complicated one , and has repeatedly occupied the attention of the magistrate . After hearing evidence to a considerable extent , Pike , who is a respectable woman , was discharged . ' Mrs Donoghue , in
defence , made a very long statement , denying any paticlpation in the robbery . Gilbert also made a long defence , and in the most solemn manner declared that Mrs Donoghue planned therobbery . Mr Yardley said hecould not receive the statement ' of the girias evidence against her fellow-prisoner , and ' that , upon the whole case , be felt bound to commit Gilbert for trial for the felony . With respect to Mrs Donoghue , the testimony was not so complete as it was against the girl , but there was so much suspicion attached to ber conduct , that he should call upon her to find bnil to answer any charge that might be preferred against her at the sessions .
WORSHIP-STREET . —Jovenile DEiRAvrrr .--Two boys , named James Brown and William Oakley , the former thirteen and the latter only eight years of age , were placed at the bar before MrHammill , charged with having stolen the sum of £ 26 in silver raonoy , the property of Mr Edwin Conway , butcher , in the Hackney , road . It appeared from the evidence ' that on Saturday morning last a canvass bag , containing tbe above men . tlohed amount , was entrusted to the prisoner Brown by the prosecutor , in whore service he had been a consider able time , with directions to leave it at an adjoining public-house , preparatory to its being exchanged f-jr po ! d . The prisoner conveyed it there accordingly , but returned back in a few minutes and asked for its restoration , as It had not been counted correctly . The money was therefore re-delivered to him , but as he did not return to his employer ' s , inquiries were set on foot , and it was then ascertained that he bad absconded .
Information of the robbery was given to the police , but he was not me'' with until the following morning , betwten five and six o'clock , when a milkman , who had been apprised of the circumstance , saw the two prisoners pro ccedingin the direction of Cambridge heath , and observing that they were watched , they started off , but weie overtaken and given into ^ custody . On searching the elder prisoner at the station the bug containing £ 23 lOs . Gd . was found in one of his pockets , and they acknowledged that they had been walking about together all nighty and spent the balance during their nocturnal rambles . * In consequence of the extreme youth of tl-. e delinquents , and the greater portion of the money having been recovered , the wife cf the prosecutor expressed her disinclination . to carry the case any further ; but Mr Ilammill considertd that such a degree of design and artifice had been manifested in the conduct of the elder prisoner that he felt bound to remand him , and should order the younger one to be discharged .
WESTMINSTER —Desperate Assaclts—D . Sullivan , an Irish labourer , was charged with tbe following desperate assaults upon the pslice . On the previous evening Hervins , 119 B , found defendant and another man , both of whom were drunk , fighting in Queenstreet , Pimlico , and caught hold of the defendant ot the very moment that he was about to kick his antagonist , who was lying on the ground . On both men ptomising to go home quietly tbe constable suffered them to depart , but tbe defendant immediately returned , and said he would not go until he had bad the life of the man with whom he had be « n fighting , adding , with an oath , that if the policeman prevented him he would rip his heart out . Hervins immediately took him into custody , when the latter endeavoured repeatedly to throw him ,
and after a long struggle they both fell together , whin the defendant kicked tbe constable most savagely , as be wag lying on the ground , on the cap of the knee and on his shin . Two other constables c ; ime to his assistance , when defendant repeatecly kicked them in the most savage manner , and thelast named was so injured iu tbe lower part ofthe stomach tbat It was found necessary to place him immediately under medical treatment . It ultimately required a large party of the police to convey the defendant to the station-house . In - reply to the charge , tho defendant said he was drunk . He did not remember anything about assaulting the constables , Mr Broderip sentenced him to fourteen days' imprisonmuit for each assault , making a term of six weeks for the whole , without imposing any fine .

BOW STREET .-Asf Abistocb » t .-A well dressed man , who gave bis name as Captain Allen , and stated he was n Justice of the Peace and friend of Sir R . Peel , was placed at the bar before Mr Jardine , charged with being drunk and disorderly . Policeman A 162 said that he took the prisoner into custody on the preceding night in the Adelphi Theatre . He was very drunk , and tumbled twice going up the stairs . The check taker end other persons connected nith the theatre had directed him to be taken into custody , and they returned him his money , He had been tossing with a cabman for sixpence before he entered the theatre . There could be no doubt whatever of his having been drunk . The
prisoner denied the charge , and gave it as his intention to bring an notion against this violation of his persossl freedom , and against all those who aided and abetted in the outrage . Tbe policeman said that the prisoner had endeavoured to intimidate him while going to the station - house , by saying that he was a magistrate , « Ssc . Ho car . rted a thick stick with him , but ho did not attempt to commit any violence . The prisoner ( after pointing in silence for some seconds at the unfortunate officer , according to a custom in which he constantly indulged ) said : 'Fellow ! nothing but respect for the , l »< ns of my country prevented my killing yon with that stick , Such fellows as you ought to be killed ' . —Mr Jardine : ' It was
viry well for you tbat you didn t do so . —Tbe prisoner : ' Ah , well , I don ' t know about that . ' Inspectors Black and Dodd both said that the prisoner was ' roiling drank' when brought to the station-house . Several applications had been made to b . iil him out , but it was not till eleven o ' clock ( lie was apprehended about half-past eight ) that he was sufficiently sober to justify the adoption of such n course . He was then bailed out b y Mr Murray , of Pwlittrntnt-street . This gent ' eman ' and another witness camo forward , and said that the prisoner was not drunk at the time , but that be was only much excited ; be was of a very escitable temperament . The prisoner said that bo had never been in custody before , ' save in the Nupolcon ; ' that it was all a conspiracy against him , and that he would bring an action . H « had been at Tattersiil ' s all the afternoon , and he would bring any man there , if necessary , to prove tbat he was sober . Mr Jardine fined him one pound , which he paid majestically , and stalked out of the court .

Mr Robinson attended for the complainant , and Mr Waktling , of St John ' s square , for the defence . It appeared from the evidence of eomplai . nant that he bad been a number of the society eighteen
years , and had paid his weekly subscription regularly until he fell ill , when he declared upon the fuuds of the society , and was allowed a weekl y sura . It appeared , however , that he was watched , and observed to Wd a few newspapers , which being communicated to the society , he was scratched off the lUt of members , and refused any further assistance . He applied , pursuant to the rules and the act of Parliament , for arbitrators to be appointed to investigate and decide upon his case , when he gave Ihe proper written notice , and paid to the secretary witli it 10 i ., culling upon the society to bare his case arbitrated upon within forty days of the notice ; but fifty days elapsed , and no farther notice was tahen

FEARFUL SHIPWRECKS . The MiMtooK . —The losvof the ship Mamlouk , of New York , on its way to Liverpool , occasioning the destruction of 42 human beings . The ship sailed from New York ; Aug . 9 , for Liverpool with four cabin passengers , thirty-six in the steerage ' and a crew of twenty four officers and men . She re ! ccived her first injury on the night of Siinday , August 15 in about latitude 38 N . and longitude 67 W . She was * then lying to in a violent hurricane , under the main spencer and fore topmast stay sail . About ten minutes before twelve o'clock she was struck by a heavy squall arid careened so much that the cargo shifted , and she immediately fell upon her beam ends , the weather rail on the quarter deck beiug within a few feet of tne water . The main and mizen masts were immediatel y cut away ' and the ship righted , but tbe cargo burst open the hatches and floated about , created much confusion , and
increaung danger . Within a very short time the vessel filled , and she became water-logged , the starboard . rail being under water . In this condition tbe crew and pas . sengers remained until daylight on the mxt morning the 16 th , when the dreadful truth became apparent to ' them that out of sixty-four souls only twe-nty-two remained olive , tbe others having been washed overboard . The steerage passengers occupied the house on deck , and were in bed at the time ofthe disaster . Tbe heavy sea that stru : k the ship swept this house overboard with all its inmates , and hence the great loss of that class of passengers , only one out ot the 36 having been saved . The cabin passengers were also in bed , and , as the ship lay on her beatn . ends , they were rescued through one of the windows on the weather side . The captain , Christianson , was once washed overboard , but recovered himself in the rigging of the muinmast .
The names of those saved are : J ( J . Bmier . Esq ., of Brooklyn ; Captain and Mrs Christiansen ! Miss F . Patten ; Mr H . Plant of Demerara ; D . S . Hales ; Hall , firstmate . ' > Throughout Monday and Monday night the storm continued to rage , the sea making a complete breach over the wreck . On Tuesday the sufferers descried a ves . sel , but tbe weather eentiwwd . so stormy that thoy could not indulge any hope of being aided by her , and nieht again overtook them in their wretched and dangerous situation . On Wednesday morning , however , the same vessel they had seen on the previous dav the brig Belize , Cspt . James H . Dawes , from Boston " , ' bound to Port-au-Prince , was seen bearing down to the wreck , the weather having at this time somewhat moderated .
Though the attempt to rescue the survivors was still attended with some danger , Caps . Dawes and his efficers and crew bent themselves nobly to the task , and tho twenty-two sufferers were safely conveyed on board ; he Belize . Their wants were immediately and generously provided for , and the greatest attention paid to their weak and worn-out condition ; and the mate in / elating the generous conduct of Capt . Dawes , shed tears of gratitude ; he said lie never received such treatment . Capt . Dawes changed his course , and brought them all safely to New York , where they arrived on the morning of the ' - ' 7 th of August . The Mamlouk was a new vessel , on ber first voyage . She was 850 tons , and owned bj Warrea B-laao , jpn , Esq . She had a full cargo nf fiour , prori . sions , ic ., which was worth about 80 , 000 dollars , and was insured for 81 ^ 500 dollars .

The Iduna sunk in about half an-hour Immediately after the collision the Sfianunga ' s ¦ boat ' s were put out , and with one boat belonging to the barque picked up thirty-four persons onl y . One hundred and stventy . two persons , including the master , Cant Eme « t Andreas Mobcrg , were lost . The survivors reached Boston in a state of great destitution . The men were clothed in such clothes as the generous captain and tars of the Shanunga could muster . The women , who escaped with their night dresses , were clad with sach rude garments as could be made out of bunting and whatever else could be found on board .
The City , of Debet . —This fine ship , which sailed hence on tho Tth ult ., for London , was wrecked on the west reef of Bicquet Island , on Wednesday , the 11 th ulr . and will bea Vital wreck . Her cargo consists of •> T > 0 barrels of flour , and « quantity of deals and staves . The following are the particulars :- 'Left port on the /« b . Towards midnight , on the 10 th , itcame on fogey but at about two o ' clock , a . ro „ the weathir clearing ! passed the Brandy Pots . Soon after , came on a thick fog—kept ths ship under easy canvass , with tbe lead constantly going , with a good look-out—the weather partially clearing at times , and laud seen from the mas' - hcad by the pilot , who appeorcd satisfitd with his posi tion , agreeing with the soundings . At two pm the llth heard the guu en . Bicquet Islandthe " pilot being
, satisfied that he was four miles west of Bic At hilf past two , soundings varying from twenty to twenty . five fathoms , and at three o ' ch ck a cast of thirteen fathom * : As we were about bringing the ship to an anchor , orserved a rock within twenty yards of the ship , and she struck at the same moment , it being then high water . Immediately took in sails , got out the beats with the intention of getting the anchor out , but no sooner had tho long boat been out , the tide ebbing very fast than the ship settled on the reef , fdl over on her broadside , and filled with water , the crew rushing into the boats with the few things they could save . The captain and
pilot remoincd on board till nearly dark , and the boats with the crew alsrgside . The weathtr continuing thick with a fresh breeze from tbe west , and the captain finding it was not prudent , for ; tho safety of all , to remain any longer , left the ship , accompanied by tbe pilot and crew , and made Bicquet Island tho same night , where they wore kindly received by Mr Hammond , the keeper of the ligb-. liouse thtre . On landing , Captain Maurice , was informed that there were thav pilots on the island , with their boats , and he immediately availed himself of their assistance ; and proceeced to the ship the following morning , with tho crew . On arriving , found her lying In the same position , thoro being only two feet of water
on fas ? larboard side . Got anchors out , with the hope of tho > essel rising with the flood tide , but found all their efforts unavailable , for as the tide rose she f * H furtherover . AH attempts to get her off were therefore Riven up , and they immediately commenced saving what they could from the ship into the boats , and returned again to the island . Captain Maurice then proceeded to Green Island , where he engaged schooners to save as much " of the cargo as possible , assisted by bis crew , ffh remain by the ship ,
