There has been one death to-day , i snd the names of those who died of cholera having t been returned , it appears that eight have died ' of the c dlseise . The follawingare thqirnsmesand the date cof the days on which . they died : —Oct . 3 , Owen J Jones ; 7 th , John Rutherford and James Jones ; 18 th , Jama Bigwood ; 10 th . Jehn Debank ; 13 th , ( George Mitchell-, 14 tb , WHliim Eastman ; 16 th , Edward Divine . The number of recoveries are
returned five , same aa yesterday . No cases , or the least appearance of cholera , have been returned by the medical practitioners in the town and parish of Woolwich up to twelve o ' clock to-day . So that ( be disease is still exclusively confined to the Jnstitia convict hulk , which ought to be immediately removed and broken up and burned . Tbe planks of the hulk it appears are rotten , and act as a sponge to absorb the filth of the vessel ; in addition to which , it is moored at the month ot a common sewer ! The dtspoticCnr of Russia could not sanction a more cruel act than the confinement of prisoners in this eharnel house of the Malthusian Whigs .
" Woolwichv—Several new cases bare occurred on board the Ju « titia convict hulk , some of which , it is feared , will terminate fatally . Raicufp Highway . —On Monday Mr Baker held an inquest at Ratcliffe Highway , on the body of Sarah M'Kecrie , tged ten years , who died in a few hoars after an attack of Asiatic Cholera . —Mr T . Surging , undertaker , said that he saw deceased last alive on Saturday night , when she was in good health . The fallowing morning , about ten o ' clock , he was sent for by the mother to see the child , when ha observed to her that she was suffering under an attack of Asla & ehalera , ana he advised that she should immediately send for medical assistance . She was then fast sinkiue . and died about eight o ' clock the same evening . —Verdict , 'Died by the visitation tfGod . '
Faro * .. —We are happy to state that not a single ease of cholera is the metropolis was reported to the Board of Health on Thursday . Information was , however , received that the pestilence was spreading o Edinburgh . Br-iasaau-. —We regret to say that a case of decided Asiatic cholera is said to have occurred in this town oath-l-thinst . Mr John Cheetham , a clerk in the tank of Attwood and Sponner , w _ ssei _? d with unequivocal symptoms on Saturday night , and expired on Sunday night Mr Cheetham was attended fay Dr Wright , Mr Chavasse , and Mr Blake , and no doubt is entertained of the disease being Asiatic cholera . The deceased waa a healthy person , of regular habits , and resided in George-street . Edib-itoD . cansideredto beavery healthy part of he town .
Maxchest-b . —A man who came from Hull and toek op bis residence at s low-lodging honse in SpinniEg-fiald was reported by the police to have been suffering under the disease for nearly twenty-eight hoEis , but he recovered . Hcil—The Bob Boy , Captain Knowles , from Hamburg , arrived on Saturday , and lies moored off the quarantine ground . The stewardess had been attacked or her passage and died in a few hours . The body ia ordered to be thrown overboard . Since Thursday week last , there have occurred in Hull nine casea of cholera , seven of which haveproved fatal . Of these seven , two have occurred on board of vessels lying at the port , the remaining fire in the town . Up to Thursday week last , there had been so death from Asiatic cholera in the town , the disease having until that lay been confined to the vessels visiting the port .
Tys-jiodis . —The barque Isabella , from London , bound for Aneona , arrived in tha Tyne on Saturday evening . She moored at Jarrow ballast quay , and when visited by the officer of the station it was ascertained that two of the crew had died of cholera on her passage from London , and that their bodies had been thrown overboard at sea , and that three of her seamen were then lying ill on beard . Tbe Isabella was immediately ordered to the quarantine ground near Jarrow , between the quay and South Shields . Oa Saturday , as the request of the comptroller of
eo-tonrs , several medical gentlemen went on board the Isabella to render aid ; They reported on their retum that another of the crew bad died in the course of the preceding night , and several other serious cases had broken out : The customs then ordered the vessel fc > leave the river for the qaarantinegrouEd in the Whit-booth roads , bat the inclement state of the weather and the tremendous sea on the bar prevented her running out- Tbe body of the seaman who died was wrapped up in his hammock , snd , with all his eSothes , was at dusk eanveyed to the bar andsunk .
Sc-nsB- ASD . —In the course of Saturday last two aeaaen died in Sunderland harbour on board their respective ships . One of them balonged to the schooner Roberts , of Aberd e en , which vessel arrived on the nrcvious Thursday frem London . The other was a Frenchman , belonging to the schooner Borrassss , of Nantes . Both cases are reported by the medical officers instructed by the cut .. mi tn be those of cholera . Their remains were directed robe taken ont to sea and sunk , bat owing to the heavy sea running . t & 3 weather being exceedingly b-hterous , no boat could go off . The vessels have been ordered np the river to ride quarantine .
Another case of cholera was reported on Toe-day to tbe Customs by the medical staff appointed to inquire into the character and deaths on board of vessels in this pert . The unfortunate victim was Mr J-hn Hawes , master of the brig Ann , oi Lynn , a collier , shipping coals for tbat place . He waa attacked early on Monday morning . and died about nine o ' clock in the evening . The body was interred at midnight in Sunderland churchyard . The vessel is now undergoiag fumigation , the deceased ' s clothes aud bedding having been consumed . Stocetos-osp-Ti-s . —The cho ! era has appeared in this neighbourhood , but it is as yet confined to shipboard , and two men having died on board the Jane Ann of this place , last from Hamburg , of the disorder , the vessel is new at the quarantine station , near the fluting light in tte Tees , where she will continue until announced healthy . No case has pre ' sm ' -ed itself in the town .
EnisBORSE . —There are still some cases of cholera occurring here , but their number seems to be gradually on the decrease . It is calculated that about tairty-sixeasesinallhave occurred in Edinburgh , an . of thereabout thirty have terminated fatally . In Leith the epidemic appears to be spreading . It first broke out thereon the 9 th inst ., and it is reported tbat altogether about a do _ . n cases have c _ nurred , and of such a bad type that most of the i _ d : viduals seised have died after a few . hours' illne-s . In the aeighbouring village of Newhaven the disease is also progressing . It is stated that sixteen eases and eleven death * occurred up till Sunday afternoon .
The EpBBTJBOB : Co _ B _ - _ of Monday reportathat pee Friday sEccases have occurred , four of which have proved & tal . On that day there were twofatal eaaesin the Canongate , andonein the Grassmarket . 0 n fe _ nott ca 8 e t 00 k P m the Grassmarket , but the sufferer ( a young waman ) , is now convalescent Yesterday morning * man died of the disease in Gulland ' s Close , Canongate , and in the CTeaing a female-was carried to the infirmary si . ff . rmg from the premonitory symptoms of the epidemic . Several eases occurred on Saturday in Lath , most of whichprove- fatal . In various parts of the city cleaning operations are now being carried on , bat in the threatening prospect before us , ws think , says theeditor , that they ought to be effected m a more rapid and thorough manner .

Ikqukb .. —Mondat — Ths Coboker asd Magistrate . —At tbe Gibraltar public-house , St George ' sroad , before Mr W . Payne , by adjournment , touchlag the death of Robert Woodrow , a boy ef fourteen years of age , who died from the effects of a blow given to him by another lad , named Adolphas Solida . The case would be of no public interest but for a disputed point of jurisdiction which arose . On the 9 th of last month Solida gave the deceased a blow on the back of the bead , near the left ear , whioh caused an abscess , and ultimately death several weeks after Previous to dissolution , Mr Norton , the maeistrate of the Lambeth Police-court , accompanied bv Mr Perry , tbe chief clerk , took the deposition of Woodrow , and this document formed a portion of the
depositions upon which the youth soima was committed for trial oa a charge of manslaughter . Mr Payne , the coroner , subsequently sent for the depo . sition of the dece awdyouth , but Mr Norton deohned sendin g it , but at the same time , requested that Mr Payne wouldattend at the court for a few minutes , and show if he could , by iny competent authority , claim tbe deposition . Atthe last inq-yry it wassug eeited by a medical witness that the inquest might be adjourned to some hour , mid-da-, when the coroner ( the distance being short ) , might watt upon Mr Norton , and come to some understanding in the matter This suggestion Mr Payne treated with much indifference , asd iaauei a .-inmons directing the attendance lastevenine attheinqueat-room of Mr Norton and Mr Perry , his chief clerk . The latter only was iu attendance , with- a olerk from the office of the Clerk ef tha Arraigns at the Old Bailey , who , having produced the deroiitions returned in the case . to read to the
the coroner requested Mr Perry jury the deposition before alluded to . He did n , and explained to the coroner and jury that Mr Norton had no intention of throwing the slightest impedimentm the way of their inquiry , but acted upon what he conceived to be the law in the case . The coroner , however , went on at some length to exclaim against what he called the attempt on the part of Mr Norton to frustrate th e ends of justice . —Mr Perry assured the coronerthat Mr Norton had acted only under the fitm conviction ( and that opinion was fortified by the opinioos of other police magistrates ) that the declaration in question was only admisaib . e in evidence before the court and jury before whom the case must eventually be tried-Witnesses having been examined , the coroner summed up , and the jury , after half an hour's deliberation , returned a verdtctto ihe effect' That the deceased came by his death from the effects of a blow inflicted by Adolphus Sohda in a childish and innocent manner . '
Lovs and Stjicidb . — On Tuesday night , an inquest was held on the body of James Hiorns , aged twenty , late potman atthe Horse Shoe , GosweU-road . Daceased was a very steady young man , and bore an excellent character , but he had formed some connexion with a female living at Highgate , to whom he appeared muohdevoted . Utterly it seemed that there had bsen some dispute between them , which weighed heavily upon his mind . He became exceedingly despondent , and sometimes spoke of destroying himse'f . hat would immediately afterwards exhibit such consciousness of his folly , . that it was not thoug ht that he would have committed so rash an act . On Friday morning he seemed rather strangeinhis man . ner , and in the evening , having procured some arsenio . for the purposeof killing rats , aa ; he said , he swallowed the poison , and died from ita effects on Sunday morning . Verdict , « Temporary Insanity . On Tuesday . Mr W . Payne , the City coroner , held
an investigation at St Bartho omew s tlospitai , into the circumstances attendisgtfw death of SarahLiuton . aged eight yea ' s , who died on tbe night ot Saturday last , from the effect of severe wounds occasioned by her falling into the fire . The peculiar cireamstsneesof the case were that whenthe fatal accident occurr ed the mother and another little child were in the room . Tbe mother ' s b a ck w a a t urned for an instant , when she was alarmed by hearing deceased exclaim ' I ' m in the fire , I ' m m the fire . She'turned round and found her child enveloped in flames . She extinguished the fire almost instantaneously , and tho oeor little sufferer waa removed to the hospital , where she expired in about seven hours . The deceased told the nurse at the hospital that her brother had thrown a lighted shaving at her , which had set fire to her pinafore , and caused the melancholy occurrence . Verdict , ' Accidental Death . .... .
On Tuesday afterno on Mr Baker held an inquest at the Black Horse , Kingland-road , on the body of a newly bom male infant . It appeared by the evidence tbat on Saturday night last , a female residing at No . 15 , Westmoreland-atreet , Shoreditch , found a small bundle lying in the passage close to the streetdoor , which was partially left open . The bundle was opened , and the the body of the deceased was discovered . It was wraot up in a dark piece of calico , and a small piece of flannel covered the head . It was then tied by a piece of black string . Mr Clark , surgeon , examined the child , and found that the delivery had not been properly attended to . He could not state whether the child was born alive or not . The coroner said he was of opinion that many females were instigated to destroy their infants by the advice of persons who obtained their livelihood by concealing the bodies . The jury returned an open verdict of' Found D . ad . '
A Man Ki ___ d by . a Horss . —Death op his Wifi paou Gbtef . —An inquest was held by Mr Bedford , at the Westminster Hospital , on the body of Wm . Lasher , aged 47 , who was killed as follows : — On Friday week he was cleaning a horse belonging to Mr Connett , of Rochester-row , when the animil kicked him in a most dreadful manner over the face , whioh rendered him quite insen-ible , and he was conveyed to the Westminster Hospital . He had everything that was possible done for him , but the inflammation of the windpipe produced pneumonia , of which he died on Saturday , but he had the larynx opened to prevent suffocation on Wednesday . Ilia wife suffered so much from grief at his death that she herself expired on Monday . Verdict , ' Accidental Death . ' Ah IxqussY was held by Mr Bedford to inquire int >
the death of Wm . Draper , aged 26 , a groom , who fell from a horse in Mount-street , on Monday morning last . The horse had some time before the accident occurred been kicking and plunging violently , but at tbe time of tbe accident- and for some minutes previously it bad been perfectly quiet . The deceasefell upon the back of his head , and died before he reached the hospital . It appeared probable that he fell from the horse in a fit , as it was found upon examination the heart was very much diseased .. Mr Gee , the house surgeon , stated that the heart might have ceased to beat before deceased fell from the hone , and that such occurrence would be rendered more likely by any jolting or excitement . The wound upon the back of the head also would have been sufficient to cause death . The jury , after some deliberation , fonnd that deceased died from disease of the heart , accelerated by previous excitement .
ROBBIBT AT THE ExCHEQ- _ B-OFFIC ..--The Exchequer-office , Lincoln ' s-inn . was entered after the termination of business on Saturday last , and plun * dared of a quantity of gold and silver , the thieves getting clear away with their booty . Fibss ' is East Smith . ibid—Ou Saturdaymomning last , four fires broke out in St George . -street . East Smithfield ; three of which are returned by the fie brigade authorities , as having been wilfully occasioned . Fibe in ELvrroN-aABDES . — Shortly before five o ' clook , on Sunday evening , a fire broke out in the back workshopsof Mr Cetta , picture-frame and looking-glass manufacturer , No . 40 , in the above street . The engines speedily arrived , bat tso late to save the
workshop , which was full of combustible materials , although fortunately in time to prevent the flames irflioting ' very material injury upon the dwellinghouse , the back doors of which , however , had already caught fire . The loss is estimated at several hundred pounds , the stock consisting of valuable looking-glasses , barometers , and veneers . Between forty and fifty men have been thrown ont of employment by the accident , Fire . —Adhirik . the Pbtkckss ' s Theatbs . —On Wednesday afternoon a fire commenced in the upper floor of a range of shops in the joint occupation of Mr Boone , cabinet-maker ; Mr Cummins , a carver * Mr Pope , a cabinet-maker ; Mr Waterman , a builder ; MessrsCotfam andHallen , the extensive ironfounders and engineers ; and Messrs Hntohinnnn
and Brown , coach painters and builders , No . 3 , Winsley-street . The flames when first discovered ! were raging furiously in Mr Boone ' s workshops , and but a few minutes elapsed before the place was wrapped in fire , from whence the work of destruction extended to the premises occupied by Mr Cummins and Mr Pope . The engines from Wells-street , Kingstreet , and other brigade stations , promptly attended , and . n > time was lost in . setting them to work ; but the firemen , in spile of their utmost exertions , were unable to confine the flames to those portions of the premises just named , and in a very few minutes afterwards a large store filled with timber , belonging to Mr Waterman also became ignited , as well as a range of workshops , Other engines of the County , London , and West of England establishments , arrived iu rapid succession , but notwithstanding tbis powerful force the flames continued to travel with equal violence , firing two of the houses in
Castlestreet East , and ascended ss high that the heat actually cracked eomeof the elates on the roof of tbe theatre . The foremen by conveying the hose up t . e staircases and mounting the roof the theatre , at length got possession over the destructive element , but not until the workshops of Mr Boone were totally destroyed , and the contents consumed ; the premises ei Mr Cummins and Mr Pope were also b-meddowa ; a spacious store house of Mr Waterman , as well as his workshops , were likewise destroyed . The Watling-street engine in proceeding to the fire , met with an accident , which was nearly attended with fatal consequences to Mr Superintendent Braidwood and numerous firemen .

Worship-Street. — Incautioot Saw Op Pois...
WORSHIP-STREET . — Incautioot Saw op Poison . —Sarah Rich was charged , at the instance of the authorities of the London Hospital , with having attempted to destroy herself by swallowing a large quantity of laudanum . — Mr Samuel Birch , house surgeon at the hospital , who attended te support the charge , stated that he felt it his duty to adopt the proceedings , in consequence of the numerous cases of a similar kind which had recently come under his professional notice , and the frequent recurrence of wbieh he attributed in a great measure to the indiscriminate and mischievous manner in _______ _
which poisons of almost every description were constantly sold over the counters of druggists and other persons who dealt in such articles . The prisoner was brought to the hospital in a state of complete stupefaction oa the nignt of Tuesday pen ' night , and after the usual means had been successfully resorted to to dislodge the poison and restore her to consciousness , she voluntarily acknowledged having taken sixpenny worth of laudanum which she had purchased at two different shops , but at neither of which , it appeared , had the slightest precaution been adopted to guard against its improper application . Tha investigation of several previous oases having disclosed the same culpable want of caution in almost every instance , he was indnoed to give the
prisoner into custody , not so much with a view of pressing for her individual punishment , as to place the subject under the judicial notice of the magistrate , in the hope that he would be able te suggest some mode sfimposingacheck upon the fatal facility at present afforded for the commission of such offences . —Mr Hammil said that he w : s perfectl y aware of the serious evils resulting from the practice referred to , but as the law now stood it was entirely without a remedy , and tbe only means of effecting such a desirable object , would be by a direct application to the legislature for the imposition of more stringent provisions to regnlate the sale of such drugs than at present existed . —Mr Birch eaidhe had it in con temptation to make an early application to the
Secretary of State for tbe introduction of some such measure , as there could be little doubt that the horrible cases of poisoning which had taken place in an adjoining county would never have occurred if the restrictions upon the sale of such articles had been more severe . The case against the prisoner was then proceeded witb , and it appeared fromlthe statement of her daughter , that the occurrence had originated in some family differences which had excited her mother to such a degree that ever since she had been in custody upon the charge she expressed her regret at having failed to accomplish her design , and threatened to repeat the attempt at the first opportunity . —On being asked if she wished to say anything the prisoner save utterance to some incoherent
observations which left little doubt that she was la bonring nnder mental aberration . —Mr Hammill said that she was manifestly not in a proper state of mind to be safely entrusted with her liberty , and he should therefore remand her for a few days to afford time for deciding upon the most advisable course to be adopted for her future disposal . CLERKENWELL . —A Courageous Old Lad .. — On Wednesday , Edward Marney , who had beeu formerly convicted , was charged by Mr Dempiey , No . 5 , Polygon , Somers Town , with breaking into his house and stealing a silver wateb , a quantity of jewellery , and other property . —Mrs Fanny Morgan , aunt to the prosecutor , said that on Tuesday evenin ? , about seven o ' clock , she was in the kitchen ,
when her attention was attracted by a noise , as if the street door was opened . She instantly went up stairs with a lighted candle in her hand , and on entering the parlour she saw the prisoner with two boxes under his arm . She inquired his business , but he seemed agitated and made no answer , but knocked the candle out of her hand . She seized him by the collar , and held bim tightly , whilst she called ont . The man commenced and continued beating her until he dragged her into the passage in the dark , and he knocked her about very much as he attempted to get to the street door to open it , but she resisted him and succeeded in keeping him back as she retreated with her face towards him and her baok to the door until she opened it , and then she again called eut ' Murder , * Robbery , 'and begged of tbe neighbours to come to her assistance . The prisoner
then threw some of the property into the street , but she kept him at bay until the police and some of her neighbours and inmates of the house came to her assistance and took the prisoner into custody . after a resistance . The watch which the prisoner threw into the street was picked up near the door . —By Mr Coombs : Whilst she was struggling with the prisoner he tried to get out , but she kept tight hold of him until she was quite exhausted , and her nephew came to her assistance , with whom he also struggled desperately . —Corroborative evidence was given by tho > e who came to the old lady ' s assistance , and the prisoner , who aaid he would reserve his defence for his trial , was committed . On leaving the bar , some well-known convicted thieves shoek hands with him cordially , and bade him' Good bye , ' and he was taken away laughing .
Cbtjb _ tt . — Sarah Andrews , living at No . 27 , Clerkenwell-close , was charged with excessive cruelty to William Andrews , a cripple between fourteen and fifteen years of age . —The unfortunate boy , who was supported into the court , was attenuated by ill treatment , and exhibited marks of violence on the head . —MrEing said the defendant was the complainant ' s mother-in-law , and for a length of time past she had exercised the greatest cruelty towards him , and his cries and screams frequently alarmed the neighbours until he ( Mr King ) determined , in consequence of her conduct towards the boy last Monday to bring her to justice , and ever since he had had the boy under his protection . —The boy deposed that on Monday the defendant ordered him to wash out a room in the upper part of the house , when she complained tbat he was slow abont it , and he must have
been fast asleep . She beat and kicked him on the body , side , and head . After he had finished the room , she beat him , when he escaped from her under the counter . She seized him by the arms , dragged him out , and dashed him on the floor . She then knelt on his stomach , forced her hand into hia mouth to prevent his crying , and knelt upon his stomach with all her might , and he now felt great pain ; She also bit his middle fingure nearly through , and he bled very much . A gentleman entered the place and took him away . —Thomas Moultonsaid he was passing by at the time and heard the cries and screams of the boy . On looking through the shop window , he saw defendant drag him violently from under the counter , and dash him on the floor . —Mr Henry King spoke to various aots of cruelty towards the boy on the part of the defendant . —The prisoner was committed fjr trial .
MARLBOROUGH - STREET . - A FiawoH Squabble . —M . Louis Toussaint Delpectre was summoned before Mr Hardwicke for having threatened to blow out the brains of Dr Louis Ardoin , physician to the ex-King of the French , Louia Philippe . —Mr Lawton ( for the complainant ) explained the circumstances . Some misunderstanding had arisen between the parties at a former period , to which , however , he would not further allude , as it would be made the subject of proceedioga in another court . The threats towards Dr Ardoin took place at the Prince of Wales Hotel . Leicester-street , on Saturday evening last . Dr Ardoin was at the hotel , when the defendant came up to him , and , after calling him several opprobrious epithets , said he had come over
to England expressly to blow his brains out , and that he had a pair of pistols in hia portmanteau for that very purpose . The complainant would have been inclined to treat this conduct on the part of the fendant as the result of the anger of the moment ; but as the defendant had repeated his threats to the complainant ' s secretary , and had declared that he did not mind appearing in the character of a murderer if he did not get such a fsettlement of matters between the complainant and himself as he wished , the complainant , who laboured under considerable fear , had ressrted to the protection of the English law . He would further say that the defendant ' s conduct was to be attributed to his ignorance of the difference between the French and the English law . The French law gave an individual no pro ' ceotion against a threat of injury . The English law extended that protection byempowering a magistrate to order
any person holding oat a threat of violence to find sureties for his good behaviour—Dr Ardoin deposed that on Saturday evening , while sitting in the coffee room of the Prince of Wales Hotel , the defendant with menacing gestures , came up to him and applied the terms / npon , voleur , chevalier d'intons , and other insulting names to him , and then declared he had come over for the purpo e of blowing out his brains with the pistol he had in bis dm . manteau .-A gentleman who attended for th « defendant , said the defendant in hefiliStaSc . addressed the complainant only with the view of settling a previous commercial dispute ri „ f J ; ih * h _ view of threatening to blow the cESinantffi ^ out , as the oomplainant wpuHi wTffVoJ f to believe . —Mr Hardwick hav ng ascertain ™! faTii ! oomplainant that he really % ^ % _^ r om th would put bis threat into UoSn addlSfhJ defendant , and told him t hat JSSXSSS &^ L

She was the victim , not only of seduction , but also of a baae woman . The prisoner , however , must be committed , and tbe facts narrated mentioned to the Judge .

He had not been long in hi s hi d in g place when the cemplaiuant entered the shop and went up stairs with his wife , and t he d e fend a n t t hen issued from the cupboard , in doing which he threw down some articles , which alarmed the parties up stairs , and when he was ru shing up to inflict summary vengeance upon those against whom his suspicions were aroused , he met hii wife hurry In ? down , and be pa ssed h e r , and darting
into the room where complainant was , he attacked bim with a large street door bey .

magistrate would send the case to the sessions , —Mr Cottingham said that when the oomplainant first applied fer a warran t he c ar . fu Hy abstained from describing the circumstances under which the assault , which was car . taiuly one of a very violent nature , had been committed , merely saying when asked the question by him , that he gave defendant no provocation , and was at a loss know to the cause of his having made suck a furious attack upon htm . The real facts , however , had since come out , and defendant , under the strong impression that the complainant was acting towards him in a manner that was calculated to destroy bis domestic peace , at t ached him in the manner already described . The magistrate , however , added that if the com p lainan t wished t o ta ke the case before a jury , be bad no objection to allow that proceeding , and should therefore merely call upon the defendant to continue his recognition of £ 40 to appear at the sessions , to give the complainant an opportunity of prosecuting if he pleased .

On the way to the station , she said , 'Ob , sir , what do you think will bo done tome—tell me your real opinion —do you think I shall be hanged V The inspector rep lied , ' It is impossible that I can kaeiv .

& arb . ttreet , Westminster , would bave been given wlt fl out any charge at all . The " three poor men who accompanied him to the Mansion House had , upon tho representations of the person complained of , sold off all their goods , and prepared themselves to emigrate to Australia . They had , however , fortunately called upon him , and mentioned the extent of the transaction whloh had taken p lace , and he could arrive at no other conclusion - than tbat a most nefarious fraud was meditated against them . When he had made due Investigation , he reported the case to the Govtrament Emigration Commissioners , whom he foaad bad not given any authority at all to tbe party who pretended to be delegated by them , and expressed a hope that the press would lend ita aid to the counteraction of so serious an evil as the success of so dangerous an Imposition . He could not moreolearly ex . prase the views of the commlsiloners than by reading an extract fro-i the official letter whioh he had received upon t ho sub j ec t , and whioh stated as follows : —
'Asit is stated that no money has yet been received by — , the commissioners are of opinion that it would not be possible to take any legal proceedings against them . N e ver t hel e ss , as the practice which they have adopted might lead to fraud , and might expose poor emigrants to imposition , the commissioners think it w o nld b e a dvis a ble t h at t he u t mos t p ublici ty should be given to the fact that there is no agent in London authorised to distribute forms or receive money , or ac t In an y other way on behalf of the commissioners ; but that all Information and the necessary forms may be procured gratis on application at this office , and tbat nothing will ba gained by proceeding In any other way , either in in . creasing the ( migrant ' s chance of acceptance or otherwise . '
The Lord Mayor . —Then it is qaite evident that the greatest facilities are afforded by the government t—Lieutenant Lean said the facilities were so complete that there was no occasion whatever for an agent in London , As a matter of course there were agents appointed for different parti of the country , who were in . vested with the necessary authority . One of tbe poor men was to have paid the sum of £ 5 , another the sum of £ 816 s ., and th e third t h e sum of £ 11 , and the third was under a strict Injunction of secrecy , in order , as the self constituted agent informed bim , tba t he might no t ba nbarged a pound more . It was to be apprehended that tbe plan bad been carried on very extens ' vely , and under tbe impression that the system ought to be crushed a t once , it was deemed necessary to represent tbe facts
to the chief magistrate , who had proved himself to be in every respect so well qualified to protect all classes of the public—Tho Lord Mayor . Have you reason to believe that the party of whom you complain has imposed much upon the simplicity of poor people desirous of emigrating !—Lieutenant Lean , These are the only cases with which I am acquainted , and I bave reason to be . iievethat your lordship's interposition will completely check the practice . These menhave sold off their furniture and whatever little property tbey possessed iu ord e r t e enable t h e ms e lves t o g o eu t a s advantageously as possible , and they have therefore sustained what is to thtm a serious loss—The Lord Mayor , Ia what capacity did they mean to go !—Lieut . Lean . One of them intended to have a free
passage , if eligible , under the order of the commissioners ; tbe others were to be assisted emi grants , if considered eligible from the nature of their pursuits and t heir fam ilies . —The Lord Mayor . What is the differeace of the treatment experienced by the two classes of free and assisted emigrants f—Lieut . Lean . The assisted emigrants go out as passengers under the same rules and regulations as the free emigrants . —The three emigrants were then called forward . They s t ated , under very intelligible manifestations of injured feelings , the loss and annoyances to which they bad been subjected , and from a more Intolerable degree of whioh they h ad b e en saved by t hs in te rposi t ion of Li e u t . Lean . —Tbe Lorj Mayor . I am sure the public are greatly indebted te the emigration commissioners for
having deputed you to come before me and make this clear statement of facts , so In t eres t in g , and important , and useful te alt classes , particularly at the present moment . It is most essential that tbe pnbllc should know that there is but one place In London at which those who intend to emigrate ought te apply for the necessary information aud authority , and It ia much te be deplored that there are to be found persona capable of conducting establishments for suoh base purposes . I see that the practices complained of have not been so far pursued as to enable me to act in my magisterial capacity ; but I trust that the public exposure which I have ne doubt will very soon follow the representations you have made , will deter parties from engaging in suoh unworthy transactions . I trust , too , tbat emigrants will take a lesson from what has bsen stated , and adopt the efficacious and economical plan of applying * o the commissioners ia Park-street , West , minster , for the facilities whloh on such occasions are so
indispensable . If there were any means by which I could raeko an example in tbis matter , I wonld , without aay hesitation , resort to them and Inflict a penalty , the efficacy of which would not be easily forgotten . I have lately decided in a case somewhat similar , and ob t ain o d satisfaction for the injured parties , and nothing would give me greater gratification than the power to obtain for you similar recompense . I muoh regret that you have been victimised , bat I have bo doubt that upon Lieut . Lean ' s representation to the board tho commissioners will consider your case with a high degree of humanity , —Lieut . Lsan said the commissioners had given due consideration to the cases of the poor men , and would treat them in the manner his lordship bad aa kindly suggestsd . In their name he returned thanks to his lordship for the readiness with which the complaint h a d been heard , end the judicious treatment it had re . celved at hia lordship ' s hands . —The three poor men expressed their gratitude in a manner calculated to make a strong impression In their favour .
THAMES . —Singo ___ Case of A ? pilia . tion . — Ja h n Dudley , a very respectable , demure-looking young man , a jeweller , residing in Great Turner-street , Cammerolal-road East , appeared to a summons charging him with refusing to maintain bis illegitimate child , b y a young woman named Ann Casey , This case was remanded from Saturday for the purpose of procuring the evidence of a woman named Pettit , who , i t was said , would be able to prove that the defendant had advanced money through her hands for the use of tbe com p lainan t , whilst the latter was in Poplar Galen Workhouse during her confinement . Mr Pelham appeared for the complainant , and Mr Locke ( barrister ) , for the defence . The case , wbieh was very closel y sifted by Mr Yardley . excited the deepest interest . —
The complainant stated that she went into the serrlce of the defendant ' s mother about twelve months since , and had been scarcely three weeks there when ho at . tempted to take libertiea with ber . She threatened to leave , but he requested her to stop during bis mother's Illness , aud promised not to repeat them . She did so , and he ultimately succeeded In his desig ns upon her . When she told him she waa with child by him , he begged her not to mention it , as , being newly entered into business , it would be bis ruin . She left in March last , and had subsequently to go to tbe London Hospital with a pain in ber chest . Whilst there a washerwoman , named Kelly , was sent to her by tbe defendant and his young man also called to see her . She afterwards lived with her mother at a Mr Pettit ., iu Poplar ,
from whence she wrote to the prisoner , who frequently came to see her there , and gave ber money several times . She afterwards went to the Poplar anion , where she lay in , and whilst there her mother occasionall y wen t to Mr Pettit ' s for small sums of money left for complainant by defendant . —Mary Casey , tho mother , to a certain extent corroborated her daughter ' s evidence . She proved the defendant's visits to her daughter , who , though penniless before , had always money after he left . On one occasion her daughter had half-a-soverelgn , out oi whioh Mrs Pettit got five shillings for two weeks ' rent . One day her daughter went out with the defendant , and stayed n e ar l y an h our . She brought back . s . 6 d . —The com . plainant said that oa the occasion just spoken of she went with defendant to a public house , at Blacbwall , where they had slxpennyworth ot brandy and water at the bar . He paid out of a crewn piece , and handed her the change .-Both witnesses were cross-examined at length by Mr Locke , but did not vary In their main
statements . —Mrs Mary P . ttit , a sallow , sharp . visaged , little o l d woman , r ath er showi l y dressed , was then called , She said the Caseys came to live with her in March last , and shortly after Mr Dudley came , and asked for the people up stairs . He called tw « or three times , aud used to see Ann Casey ia her parlour , and once went out witb ber . In answer te the magistrate , she hesitatingly admitted she sanjdefendant , who called on her with another young man on Saturday . Ho came to ask her if she ever said that he gave her money to give Ann Casey . She told him she had not , nor had she ; She gave Mrs Casey out of her oWn pocket 4 s . Cd . at one time , and Is . 6 d , at another , thongh the Caseys owed her seven weeks' rent , —The manner of this witness was so constrained , and her answers in many instances so coolly evasive , that Mr Yardley directed her to be confronted with the mother in the witness-box . —Mr Yardley : I will remand the esse uatli Tuesday next , when perhaps farther evidence will be forth , coming .
The PsBSicniED Suboeon . — Mary Mackow , a sturdy damsel , about tweaty-flve yeors of ago , was charged with threatening Mr William James Broadwater , surgeon , Ratcllff-highway , aud p u tt in g him in bodi ly fear . —The complainant stated the case In a most lugubrious tone . The defendant had been maid of all work in his house for some time , when , unfortunately , be waa smitten by her full-blown charms , a nd so f a r from si g h i n g in vain , tbe damsel smiled propitiously upon his suit , and e ven t uall y bore h i m a o h ubb y . faced reflec tion of bis own woe-be-gone self . After some time , h owever he . found it necessary to dismiss his fair inamorata , but paid her 10 s . a week until she became unbleto nurse the sturdy little stranger and it was put out , he a g reeing t o defra y the cos t s , which amounted to
ss . a week . This he had done punctually , but baring removed her incumbrance , be gave her nothing more , and she in consequence never let him have a moment ' s p eace ; ludeedhe and his partner were in constant apprehension of anything buta friendly call , aa it always ended In a disturbance , and was exceedingly detrlmen . tal to their business . It generally required the united strength of oemplalnaut aud his partner to eject her from the shop , and . she then invariably harangued the passers by on the subject ef her wrongs . She was alio in the habit of waylayiag him in the streets when far from the friendl y ass i s t ance of h i s p ar t ner and abuilng audttaeatenta g wm : On Sunday , despite the teirors oflanoe and scalpel , or even of that dread ef the fair , the instruments for tooth-drawlng . she invaded the surgery and seized her quondam lover by 'the hate of

his head , ' and struck him , and he was again in . ebte to the puissant arm'of Mr Watts , . for his . release . She had broken the shop window ,. threatened to shoot him , and exoited bis fears in various ways ; but , a s he had no w i sh t e y ield to these soft provocatives to . renew the connection , he sought . the protection of the law : —Tbe defendant , who seemed somewhat alarmed at finding herself in custody , now appeared very mild , but dt . cUred that' James' was no g en tle man since be refused t o le t her ha v e a p en ' orth of hair-oil , and the pistol of which he had expressed so much fear was nothing bat tbe bottle . A pretty reward this was for her magnanimity in forgiving him her ruin , and giving him hor custom for hairo ' . l—Mr Yardley said that defendant ' s conduct was not to be heme . Ho would , h owever , under all the circumstances , take ber own recognisances to keep the peace , if she would bind her . self not to go near Mr Broadwater ' s house , nor trouble him any mere . —The defendant complied , and she was discharged .

CORN . We-Wkday , October 18 . —The weather has turned very cold , and we hear of snow having fallen In some ports of the country . At this day '« market the wheat trade ruled firm—the foreign arrivals are liberal , and several of the cargoes are mixtures of old and new . Good old foreign Baltic wheat met a fair d . man ., and this descrip . tion sells for more money , the currency ruling from 65 s to 60 s per quarter . Polish Odessa and Marianopoli , floating , in request at former prices . Indian corn not pressed on lower terms , and buyers at a small concession . Fine foreign barley taken by our maltsters to the preju . dice of English . Old malt improved in value . Beans and peas slow at former prices .

COLONIAL PRODUCE . London , Tuesday . —In the British plantation sugar market rather a large business has been transacted at steady prices ; the sales privatelyamounting to 850 hhds . The coffee market has given way to a small extent ; 1 , 400 bags plantation Ceylon offered at auction were only par . tially realised at rather easier rates ; but 1 , 050 bags good old native found buyers at 27 s 6 d , being the previous value . The quantity of rum landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 929 puns and 2 hhds ; there were taken for home consumption 2 o 7 puns 2 hhds , and exported 113 puns 97 hhds . 856 bags of rice at auction sold at 12 s for good mid white Bengal , and at 10 s 6 d to lis fid for Madras . The tea market is quiet . A good consumption is , however , still to be noted .
COTTON . Livebpool , Oct . 18 . —The market to-day was dull and gloomy . The tales are estimated at ., 009 bales , of which 500 American were for export . The business included 3 , 000 American , 400 Bahia , atijd to 5 d ; 200 Egyptian , at 5 _ d to GJd ; 400 Surat , 2 £ d to V | d . Prices of American and Brazilian descriptions are a point lower , but other sorts unchanged .
STATE OF TRADE . Manchests .. — Our market manifested an increased dulness on Tuesday . Tbe sales effected in goods have , in many instances , been at some further reduction of price ; while , as to yarns , this has been almost uniformly the case . There have been operations for various quarters , but altogether very Jimited ia extent , and leaving an unfavourable impression from the plain indication they afford of tbe probable course of things . The home trade , we l ea rn , from severa l f irm s , is smaller in extent than is usual a * , this season . - in years of average general prosperity . The falUng off lies In the large towns ; whilst ia the rural districts , little change is perceived . Of oar city dealers , the great ones are not much affected by this diminished demand , but the smaller ones feel it severely , Rochdace . —Though there has been a fair business doing yesterday in flannels , yet the demand has not been quite equal to that of the preceding week . Wool is much the same it has been for some weeks past .
H-Dde-spield . —A decidedly dull market . The stock exhibited en Tuesday in the Cloth Hall is heavier thaafor some weeks past , and some first-rate patterns bave been exhibited . Halifax . —The attendance in our Piece Hall yesterday was exceedingly slender , and the amount of business done , either in plain or fancy goods , was very trifling , In the warehouses , however , of some of the larger firms , there is rather more doing in fancy goods for the American market ; but there is not any improvement in prices . In yarns there is a little more activity for the Continent , chiefly owing to the German manufacturers having run out of stock , and being , therefore , anxious to supply themselves before the closing of the navigation for the winter season .
Leeds . —The transactions at our cloth halls have been limited to a smalt scale , a few heavy winter goods only having changed hands ; both tbe town houses and shippers begin to buy sparingly , owing to the advanced season of they ear .

From Mr Edward Page , Director of the Choir and Organist of St Peter . Catholic Church , Leamington :-Gentlemen , — Having frequentl y suffered much from relaxation of the throat , I have often been obliged toresort to various preparations ; but since Ilmvo had the good fortune to try Dr Locock ' s Pulmonic Wafers , I am now but seldom obliged to resort to them , for the extraordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising Even when the throat appears to be completely exhausted and the voice to be nearl y gone , two or three ( at most four ) will , in the short space of half an hour or so completel y restore its flexibility and power , and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy , nor do t hev leave any lassitude after . " y Having felt the great value of the remedv . Ifeel it a duty to generally recommend it , as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering uso of it , and I shall be happy tolnswer PAo ^ rt ; " 1 ? m'B » tlemen .
