      Marshal Haynau-His Reception And Flight....

      Batthjani who , in his quality of Prime Minister , outstripped the administrative _limits of Hungary , was , it is said , first half strangled , ( there was the mark of a rope round his neck after death , ) and then taken out and shot . The butcheries at Pesth must be fresh in the recollection of eur readers—Siegmund Perenyi and Messrs . Szacssvray and Oscrnus " were hanged on the Holzplatz . Baron Perenyi was second" President of the Hungarian Upper Souse - { before March , 1 S 48 , ) and a Judge of the Ifig h Court of Justice . Throughout the revolution he was on the side of M . Rossuth and his party . He followed the Hungarian party from Pesth to _Sseeedin , and from Szegedin to . Pesth ; and in June _ISS , he -was appointed to the office ofa Jadee Curice . Baron Perenvi was a good lawyer and an excellent speaker . His _' condemnation and death by the hands ¦ of the common hangman caused a deep and P _* iintul

      sensation in Hungary . M . Csernus was a Sheriff , and M . _Szaczrar ? acted as Clerk to the Lower House ofthe Hungarian Parliament . B waai ne who drew up the Declaration of _^ ff _j _™ _g . jj the _Hunuarian nation . To enume rate the-a loci es sanctioned and approved by Haynau would fill a _volume . He _showed no _raagnanhn . ty or forbearance , hut save full loose to the _msnnct of the batcher , L Somen were condenned to several weeks' imprisonment for trying to get rid of some of Kossuth ' s notes , which the whole nation had been guilty of and a poor private tutor to two months' imprisonment for the same heinous offence . A notary was shot for inviting tbe militia to _ris 3 . But this is not all ; Baron Auffenber < r was hanged at Arad and Count _L-iinim * en _shotj sixteen Hungarian nobles in the same place , seeing no chance of mefcy , committed suicide .

      GENERAL HAYNAU AT BRESCIA . Tite following account of General Ilaynan ' _s conduet at Brescia , is taken from General Pepe _' s narrative : —** On the _evening of the 30 th of March , the Germans fortified themselves in their posts but the city was stiil almost intact . The ferocious Haynau raged with impatience , and while expecting the third corps of the army , together with strong _ reinforcements of artillery , he attempted to storm the city before their arrival . He set fire to the houses outside the city , so that it appeared enveloped in flames . When the darkness of night was come , the soldiers -were ordered to penetrate over the walls and into thc houses , to set fire to them everywhere without mercy , and to employ the most diabolical and infamous means . The light of the fire was seen almost over all Lombardy . It would be impossible to describe the ferocious acts of tbe Croats on tbat last night of Lombard liberty ; the atrocities committed by the most

      barbarous people would be mild in _comparison . The Brescians then deliberated on the resolution to be taken , and _finding that men and ammunition still remained sufficient for another day ' s combat , they determined to defend themselves while hope and a _sinsle cartridge remained . On the morning of the 1 st of April , the city resounded with one fierce cry of ¦* ' , " and the Brescians , protected by the barricades , drove the enemy from the posts they had occupied in the night in consequence of the fire _^ nnd from the Bruttanome in particular , they drove them with such impetus , that the first lines were thrown back , and they were on tbe point of taking two of the enemy's cannon . This was the last victory ofthe Brescians . Fresh artillery and battalions now arrived to Haynau , who made them instantly enter into battle ; and with such superiority of forces , and such means of devastation they penetrated into the houses , destroying everything that came in their way . "

      . The following paragraph , which is literally copied f rom an authentic pamphlet , I think it dne to history to preserve , and recommend to the frequent perusal ofthe Italians , that they may not forget what tbey owe to Austria : — Hie-sight ofthe horrible deeds committed by the imperialists , whether in drunkenness or by command , or iu consequence of their stupidly ferocious natures , was such as to overwhelm the mind and freeze the blood in men's veins : 1 hDj were beyond the limits of imagination or belief . Kot _only were they ferocion ? towards women , children , and the sick , but the tortures they inflicted were refined in such _amanner as to show how much the cruelty of man exceeds tliat of the most ferocious animals . Limbs torn from th * ir victims were flung from the windows and the barricades as food for the dogs . The heads of young children cut from their bodies , women ' s arms , and fragments of flesh were _thrown into the midst of the Brcscian troops , to whom bombs then seemed merciful . Above aU ,

      the imperial cannibals delighted in the horrible convulsions ofthose whom they bnrnt to death ; therefore they covered the prisoners with pitch , then set them on fire , and often compelled the women to assist at their husbands' martyrdom . Sometimes , to make game of the noble blood of the Brescians , which boiled with magnanimous wrath , they _tightly bound the men . and then , before their eyes , _tuey dishonoured and cut the throats of their wives and children ; and sometimes ( God forgire us if we remember such a horrid _ et _} they f reed them to _swallow tlie mangled entrails of tiieir nearest friends . Many died of anguish , and many fall fainting with horror . The populace , whose fury of vengeance was excited to delirium , resolved to be killed on thc corpses of tbeir enemies , when some one recalled to their recollection tliat there were many spies unpunislced in tiie prisons . The most ferocious rushed to the prisons and killed them ; these had almost all bem already condemned to death h y tiie judges as felons and murderers .

      The municipality fearing that the people , blinded by just rage and grief , should become more cruel , consented that their chief should interpose for peace . Accompanied by his brother , and preceded By a certain Marchesini , one of the people , whom tbe _love-ef his country inspired with the eloquence Of a Tribune and tbe courage of a martyr , tbe father ef the municipality used every effort to obtain a mild answer from the marshal ; but Haynau , silent and implacable , only consented to a suspension of arms during the conference ; and this species

      of truce , only on the part of the Brescians , was more fatal to them than many days of battle , since the enemies" troops ceased net to commit numerous assassinations . Finall y , after two hours , the marshal dismissed tbe father of the municipality with a -writ-ten paper , where , in the midst of harsh words , _unsnited to snch misfortunes and sueh bravery , it was stated that the peaceful citizens need fear no hostility . The Brescians resigned themselves to their destiny , expecting to be again treated as enemies and vassals , but not as slaves pardoned , and returned to their yoke .

      Almost all tbe citizens yielded to their cruel fate , except a few who had resolutel y determined to die fighting , and the marshal took on himself the task Of breaking their cruel obduracy . But the imperial soldiers demanded pillage and carnage ; already they bad robbed the houses nearest the walls . More than twenty battalions , with cavalry and artillery In proportion , were encamped in the * Piazza and in the country round . It was necessary to find food for many persons , and the municipality performed miracles in these circumstances , distributing 15 , 000 rations of bread , wine , and forage . In the night a ray of hope shone on the desolate Brescians . The valorous and intrepid Camezzi , with near 8 § 0 men , had hastened from Bergamo to aid the Brescians . They fought desperately , but being informed that they were surrounded by numerous troops , and considering the fatal armistice of Novum , these bands were dissolved in the midst of universal grief .

      - Let the reader imagine the murders , the burning , the pillage , the -violence of these frantic soldiers . Neither generals nor officers showed themselves anxious for their honour and humanity . Colonel Jellachich , brother of the celebrated Ban , was an exception . Seeingthe Church of St . Affra menaced , where many women had taken refuge , he hastened to guard the entrance , and remained there till his men had departed . -Some few officers who had lodged in Brescia endeavoured to preserve the houses of their hosts from pillage . But tbe ferocious Ilaynau dearly showed tbat -his mind was turned to vengeance rather than -to the government of a brave and unfortunate people . Itis believed that more than a hundred among the best and most intrepid of the citizens were in s . few hours dragged to the

      easfis , bastinadoed , tortured , and finally shot . A fine of 7 , 000 , 000 of litres was imposed on tbepro--vjnees , and on the eity a special charge of _339 _,-GQO _livres , as a reward for his officers . ' The command of the . eity was given to Lieut .-General Appel , who speedily demanded with _threats that the heads of the Insurrection shonld be given up to him . Slaughter was . uow organised . _Woaven and children , the aged and -the helpless , were first horribly . massacred . We will detail a few facts to illustraterthewickedness ofthe conquerors . The priest Gabetti , a schoolmaster , trusting in the terae of the surrender , went oatside the walls to visit hiE

      cottage , which had been set-fire to on the preceding night , and in which his mother lived ; bnt scarcely had begone set , when he w _ s « ejzed and conducted to Haynau in the castle , whereon tfiefollowing day he was shot as _s . _patriot priest . A more fcorrjhie _martyrdom . closed the life of Retro Tentudni _^ member of -the legal profession , and popular Among the _Bresaans .-: . weig hed down by years and by _jout . he was pressed with threats to swear fidelity-to , tlie imperial _banners ; he boldly threw himself oa therfcayonet _poeated .-te his heart , and cursed the _ecemieS / Cf Italy , aedioviBgly saluting his country ani liberty , besought and obtained death .

      Some iniquitous _C-roatsihud their fcaB . ds . on a poor workman , and deliberated oa burning him . for their amusement ; -ts he was _flm-sll and deformed , tbey supposed he eould make bqtjittle resistance , ana would perhaps die in more _laughable convulsions Carlo Zieia possessed _tfes _stree _ th of a _ptebejan : when in the flames , he seized on . one of hi * _axec-a _tioner _*? , and held him so _firaily that ihey burned and died together , , The damage done by war and fire _svas computed at twelve milliens . The conquerors , not content with fines , pillage , the losses b y fire , and other war taxes , amounting to seven million * and a J _" " _» ? . _*?" suited the municipality by sending them the bills for previsions and powder , " demanding that the city shonld pay these _expessea . Moreover , they ordered them to collect money for the erection of a _triumphal monument , on tbe Vto , to the -soldiers who

      Marshal Haynau-His Reception And Flight....

      had fallen before Brescia . _WsliaU one , _, day see that all Ital y will erect a worthy funeral monument to the memory ofAustria ; . f '• . " . ' ,. ' ;•' . _"¦ .. ' _-..,. . ' ' . '' . ' The people did not reproach their chiefs with the fatal issue Of t he-insurrection , though the destruction of their houses and the . death , of their ¦ companions ' was before their eyes ; at the risk of their lives , they placed the most noted authors of the in surre ' etion in safety out of the city . _^ Haynau and Appel , however vigilant , had only laid hands on . those who had taken no part in leadino- the revolt ! This may perhaps have induced the two lieutenant-marshals to institute , in July , the infamous process against twelve of the populace ; when all Italy was prostrate , and four months had elapsed , for the first fury of vengeance to be appeased . They were sentenced to die the death of thieves , and twelve gallows were expressly erected on the bulwarks of the city , where they were executed .

      TnE PERFIDY " OF BAYNAV . After Ilaynau had captured and caged the unfortunate Hungarian generals who surrendered at Arad , he suspended all immediate executions , anU hastened off to Comorn , to secure the surrender or that fortress , before he gave vent to his Uiirst roi blood . It was immediately communicated to the governor and the garrison of Como ™ that their _Surrender would appease the -Bmperor and _hw general who on getting peaceable possession of the lortres T would pardo _ the Hungarian generals and _Ee who JaS surrendered after the example of GeorW What chiefly-prevented the garrison of Comorn from continuing their resistance was , the belief that by so doing tbey would exasperate or reawaken the vengeance of the Austrians toward their captives . As to Haynau , be personally assumed the blandest aspect , and looked mercy itself .

      "On the 3 rd of _Octobcri" writes Klapka , "I met General Haynau accidentally on the tele depont on the Danube . He had just come from Atsh to examine the works and entrenchments in and around Comorn . We conversed for a long time , but our conversation turned solely on the strength and the natural advantages oi the fortress , and on the battles of the 2 nd and llth July . What he said bore the expression of so much humanity , that I was tempted to discover in his features a desire for reconciliation with the conquered country . No thoughts of revenge seemed to lurk upon his brow . And yet it was he who , showing in this instance and in the course of his negotiation with our commissioner , a most hypocritical sympathy and affection for Hungary , so far belied his assertion that , but a few days later , he concurred with his emperor in hanging and butchering the noblest men of the nation , as if they were so many thieves and _incendiasies .

      . Total Loss Op The Indian Indiaman.— Sh...

      TOTAL LOSS OP THE INDIAN _INDIAMAN . SHOCKING SUFFERINGS OF THE SURVIVORS . We announced in our last edition of last week the loss of this Indiaman , 500 tons burden , en her outward voyage from England to Bombay , on a reef of rocks , named the Cargados Garayos or Narerett Bank , with melancholy loss of life . The annexed narrative is from a gentleman who was a passenger onboard the ill-fated vessel : — " Nothing of any note occurred until the night of the Gth of April last , when , at eight o ' clock , the captain informed us that , if his reckoning was correct , we should either be clear of , or very nearly upon , the Cargados reef . Being rather taken aback at the cool way in which he expressed himself , I ran forward to the forecastle , followed by the captain and one of the passengers . Twenty minutes had not elapsed

      before I distinctly saw breakers ahead , which I immediately pointed out to the captain , who turned to one ofthe seamen standing near him at thc time ( named Peter Martin ) , and asked him if he thought they were breakers ? He replied , " Yes , they are , " at the same moment the look-out man on the foreyard sang out , " breakers ahead . " We were then going six knots , with the starboard tacks about two points , free wind east , steering north . The captain ordered the helm to be put up , and the ship fell off to the west north-west , and in far less time than it has taken me to write she struck—at first slightly , then went on with a fearful crash , starting every timber in her , pieces of wreck floating up all around us . We saw in a moment all

      hopes to save tbe vessel were at an end , as she heeled over to seaward suddenly , the sea making a clear breach over her every roller . This was the work of a few minutes only . Three parts of the crew were by this time on tbeir knees , crying , and making the most frantic appeals to heaven for aid . All order and discipline were now at an end . The carpenter and two seamen attempted to cut away the masts , but owing , I suppose , to the excitement of the moment , they cut away the weather rigging only ; the masts of course went by the board , but being still attached to the vessel by the lee rigging , and falling over to seaward , tbey served as a battering ram , beating the vessel to pieces every successive roller . After the first burst

      of excitement was over , a simultaneous rush was made for the boat 3 , but we found the only one that was available was the starboard quarter boat , the other two . had been stove to pieces by the wreck . The captain was not slow in taking to our only apparent chance of escape , the remaining boat , eight of the seamen speedily following him ; and as he was going over the side I reminded him that he ought to be the last person to leave the vessel , instead of which he was evidently desirous to be the first . They shoved off , and pulled back once or twice near the vessel , - asking for water and bread , which of course was out of our power , and much more out of our inclination to supply them with . He then pulled away altogether , which was the last

      we saw of him . The ship by this time was breaking up fast ; the stern frame burst out , and twas thrown up on the starboard quarter , and in a few minutes afterwards she parted amidships , leaving thirteen persons exposed to the fury of the surf on tbe fore part of the starboard side , where we remained till the morning broke . The tide turned about this time from ebb to flood , wben the rollers came in with redoubled violence and dashed the remainder of the wreck to pieces . All were immediately buffetting with the waves , and sharks innumerable surrounded us on all sides , which -very much increased the terrors of our situation . Owing to my being hurled on the rocks by the surf two or three times I lost my senses , and was perfectly unconscious as to what had occurred till I found

      myself resting on a spar with a sailor . I found the ship had gone to pieces , and five of our comrades had perished . Water surrounded us in every direction , with nothing in view but one or two small _saad banks , and those a long distance off . By night we had constructed a rude kind of raft , on which' we slept , but as tho tide ebbed we grounded , and with the exception of our heads we were literally sleeping in the . water , cold and wretched ,. but still ( comparatively speaking ) safe . We remained on the raft in this state two days and nights , the sun scorching us by day , and the wind , owing to our being wet , making us dreadfully cold at night . On Sunday , the third day , having found a small quantity ot oatmeal , we determined to start for the nearest

      sandbank . A sixty gallon cask of beer , two six-dozen cases of wine , a piece of bad pork , and the oatmeal were the only things saved from the wreck . We had only eaten once , and then but sparingly . Here we lived fourteen days and nights , subsisting on sharks' flesh and the wine and beer wo saved . Not a drop of water was to be had . On the 20 th of April we saw a vessel to the leeward of us , and endeavoured to attract her attention by means of a boat hook and a shirt attached , but she did not , or would not , see us . The next day , about one hour before Bun-set , another vessel hove in sight , and in about the same spot as the bhip of tbe previous

      evening was seen . We again hoisted our signal , and walked about the bank to show there were living creatures . on it . We thought she did not see us , and , after taking an allowance of oatmeal- and sharks' flesh , we laid down for the night's rest . In a short time , however , we were alarmed by the barking of our dog , and on getting on our legs , discovered , to our delight , a boat close in for the sands . She belonged to the vessel we had seen in the evening . The mate and one of the passengers went on board that night , and the rest ofthe survivors were taken off tho next morning , when we were conveyed safely to the Mauritius . " The ship and cargo were nsured for- £ 25 , 000 .

Thomas Potter , of 94 , Strand . —Amelia Davies deposed , that while walking along tho Strand , on Monday evening , with her husband , she observed the prisoner , with whom was another man , run across the street and take a coat from the front of Mr . Potter ' s shop . She told her husband , who immediately raised a cry of" Stop thief , " and ran after the prisoner , who dropped the coat and ran towards the Adelphi , where he was captured by a constable who continued the pursuit . *—Mr . George Davies , and the officer who took the prisoner into custody , corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness ; and the prisoner , who declined saying anything in his defence , was committed for trial .

      Assault . —John Page , alias Mary Ann Page , was charged with indecently assaulting an Irishwoman iri Covent-garden Market . —Sergeant Chadwick of the P division stated , that the prisoner had ; lived by cadging about the market for thirteen yearssince ho was a child . He had been repeatedly con ; victedby the magistrates at Bow ' -street as _Maiy Ann Page , having always wore female apparel until about twelve months ago . He was treated as a woman in the neighbourhood ; but during his . last confinement in Tothill-fields Prison he was provided with roan ' s clothing , by order of the' governor and medical officers . —Mr .

      TllREATESIKO THE LlPE OF A FATHEu .-r . Cban . trey , W , Deverell , under twenty years of age , was charged with threatening the life of his father , who holds a situation in the School of Design at Somerset-house . —The disobedience and heartless misconduct of the defendant were sufficiently proved by the evidence of the father and a servant of tho family ; while his vindictive behaviour in tho presence of the magistrate afforded abundant confirmation of the charge . —Mr . Henry lectured thc defendant without making any visible impression upon his mind , and then ordered him to keep the peace for four months . In default of the requisite sureties ( two in £ 50 each ) he was committed to prison for that period .

      A well-dressed youth , named James Patrick , was charged before Mr . Henry with stealing a large quantity of parliamentary reports belonging to his master , Mr . John Wilkes , a bookseller , of 16 , Craven-street , Strand . —It appeared that the prosecutor was induced to employ the prisoner sonie time since as his assistant , having received an excellent character with him for honesty . During tlie last few days Mi' . Wilkes missed from his premises several hundred weight of parliamentary reports , which had been tied up in bundles of twenty-five pounds , to be sold as waste paper . On Friday he , missed some more reports , * and lie then questioned the prisoner respecting them , who denied _acknowledge Of them , He locked up the premises , but

      afterwards admitted that hehad left the shop ' at various times in the charge of a boy . The prosecutor considered the prisoner ' s conduct reprehensible in doing so , and discharged him . Subsequently Mr . Wilkes was informed that the prisoner had sold a bundle of parliamentary reports to Messrs . Gilsori !» nd Brown , fishmongers , of _Hungerford-marketj for waste paper , and that he attempted to sell another bundle on the following day at the same place . Mr . Brown detained the last bundle , and told tbe prisoner he would not pay him for tbem until he had made inquiries about him . The prisoner said his name was Williams , and tbat he was a clerk to Mr . Williams , a solicitor , of Cravenstreet , Strand , and that his master had sent him to

      sell the reports . No such person as Mr . Williams was found to live in Craven-street , and the . prosecutor afterwards identified the reports as his property . —Mr . Henry asked Mr . .. Wilkes if he always sold the reports for waste paper ? Mr Wilkes said it was invariably the practice to sell them for waste paper . He bought them of gentleman ' s servants , and sometimes from the members pf Parliament _, lie sold large quantities for waste paper . —The prisoner denied that the last bundle of parliamentary reports belonged to his master . lie purchased them of a man who came to the shop for 2 d . per pound , for the purpose of making a penny on each pound for himself . Mr . Henry committed the prisoner for trial .

      Assaulting a Toll .

The witness told him he eould not do so , but must pass through the revolving gate at the side , for foot passengers . He refused , to do so , and attempted to force his way through , and as the witness resisted ,

      he struck him a violent blow on ' the side , at the same time saying that he would eat a better man in the morning to his breakfast . " A policeman , and a man at the opposite gate , came to his assistance , and the prisoner was given into custody . —Charles Vaughan , labourer , said he was at the gate atthe time when the prisoner endeavoured to force bis way through , and upon the toll collector _resistisg , he struck him a blow . —Police constable 48 F gave similar evidence , and added , that when he was conveying the prisoner to the station-house he resisted very much . —The prisoner who made a long statement in answer to the _charge , said he was going to an excursion train of the South-Western Railway Company , which was to start in a few minutes , and as he was in a hurry he tendered the collector a

      halfpenny , intending to pass through the carriage gate , whicli was open . As the man resisted , he endeavoured to force his way through , but be did not strike him . If the magistrate would let him off he pledged himself to' bring an action against the company , because he was convinced they had no right to prevent a gentleman from passing by the gate most convenient to hini . The policeman had treated him with the greatest ruffianism , ahd would not let aiiy person into the station to give evidence in his favour . —Mr . Henry told the prisoner that the act of Parliament authorised the compamy to make regulations for the management of the bridge , and as he had infringed those regulations , and assaulted the collector when he was enforcing them , he sbould fine him in the full penalty of _# > , —The fine was immediately paid .

      prisoner had no provocation whatever for his conduct , nor did he pretend to any . —A police-constable was then called to provo that in the station-house the prisoner had nearly succeeded in hanging himself . — The prisoner , being asked what he had to say in his defence , insisted that he was a very good husband except when drunk ; and he accounted for the attempt to strangle himself by his rage at his wife's causing him to be locked up .-Mrs .

' s bank ; he was intrusted withthe bank-book to make up on its return from the bank , and in fact every facility : afforded him to commit fraud upon his employer . It was ascertained by Mr .

      him frequently in his shop as a customer , _prisoner always went under the name of Rawlings to him . On the 31 st of July , he ( prisoner ) paid witness two sovereigns . He could not swear he had not changed a note for prisoner , but he believed he had not . He knew nothing of the note that bovo his name . lie paid £ 20 on tho same day to Messrs . Heron , _M'Culloch , and Squire , wholesale druggists , of 95 , Bishbpsgate-Btreet-within . He could not remember whether he paid the money in notes or gold , as he nover marked any notes that passed through his hands . He believed he had not received a £ 5 note from any one else about that time ; but he could

      ascertain by referring to his books whether he liad had any bills to that amount paid to him by any of liiso . ustomer 8 . jOn or before tho 31 st of July . —Mr . Heenan , tobacconist , of King William-street , knew nothing whatever , about tho £ 5 note bearing his name . He did not know prisoner . —Edward 0 . Stringer , clerk to Messrs . Heron and Co . , said , he believed the name of" R . II . Cooper , " and the date on one of the notes , wore in his handwriting . He received it from Mi * . Cooper in payment , with othera , for goods ho had had from the firm . Mr . Cooper paid the sum of £ 20 in notes on the 31 st of July to witness . There was an entry in the daybook to the same effect . There was also a similar

      entry in the cash-book , but owing to some delay it was made on the following day—the lst of August . —Police-constable Taylor , 144 ; said , since the last examination he had searched the prisoner ' s lodgings and in * addition to racing , tickets and betting-books , and memorandums , he had found a portion of a check-book belonging to Sir John William Lubbock's bank , and which was marked with a letter "K . " —Mr . Briggs _. a clerk to Sir J . W . Lubbock and Co . ; said the part of the check-book produced was the same used by their firm . He had no doubt , on Beeing the initial letter ' K , " that the book was originally given to the prisoner , for Mr . Koyser _' s use , * but he could ascertain for a certainty , by

      referring to the book ofthe bank , whether that . _particular book was given for prosecutor ' s-use or for thaV of any other person . —Alderman Challis said the finding of the check-book was a material point in the evidence at present against the . prisoner . He thought the case began to assume a more serious form , as . far as the prisoner wasconcerned , than it had before The destruction of the alleged forgeries had made it doubtful whether any charge could be effectually sustained against the-prisoner , but the evidence now before him would induce him to grant a farther remand , to arrive at the desired information _relative to the proper ownership of the checkbook . —The prisoner was then remanded .

      Dispute between Master _ano Apprentice . —T , C . Armstrong appeared in answer to a summons requiring him to show cause why the indentures executed between himself and William Henry Browning should not be cancelled on the ground of misusage and neglect in teaching the said W . H . Browning the business of a law stationer according to the terms of the indenture . —W , H _, Browning said he was apprenticed to the defendant , and had served about four years , but that defendant had lately carried on the business of a grocer and' cheesemonger , at No . 19 ; Cursitor-street . Defendant took an eating house . in the . early part of 1848 , and wanted witness to serve in it , which he however declined to do , as it was no part of the duty of a law

      stationer . Defendant wanted £ 20 to cancel the indentures . —Cross-examined by Mr . Chidley : There had only been £ 11 of the premium paid . . Defendant undertook all Mr . Chidley ' _s law writing , and he ( plaintiff ) did what little business Mr . Chidley had in that way ., After defendant , left 24 , Cursitor-street , he engaged a seat in the office of a Mi * . Greaves , a law writer in the neighbourhood , for witness . Defendantdid not instruct him in the duties of a _lawstationer . Mr . Greaves instructed witnes 3 . how : to do all the work that passed through bis hands while he was in that gentleman's office Defendant signed over the lease of . tho house ,. 24 , Otirsitor-stroet , to a Mr . Gibbons , reserving to himself a seat and one lor witness in the office .

      Fifteen months after defendant was obliged to leave in consequence of a distress for rent having been levied upon the goods , and _everything sold off . — Mr , Chidley contended that there was no _difference betweena law stationer aiid a law writer , and that both businesses were identically' the same . —Alderman Challis said he had no difficulty as to the cancelling ofthe indentures . The solicitor had set up a very ingenious defence , but he hud not proved that there really was " no difference between thetwo businesses _, _^ either had he shown that , " if plaintiff had been aipprenticed to a law stationer , ' and was only taught law writing , the term ' s ' of the indenture had been complied with . ¦ Under all the circumstances , he would order the indentures to be cancelled .

      Serious Charge against a Policeman —Thomas Wilkins , No . 117 , of the D division of the metropolitan police , was charged with telony _^ A "' woman named Collins was examined at the last Old Bailey sessions as _.-y witness against her husband , who was sentenced ' to ten years' transportation . All the witnesses were allowed their expenses , and the sum of one guinea was awarded to Collins . - The ; prisoner was entrusted with * tho money to pay the witnesses , but it appeared that he had paid . Mrs . Collins fourteen shillings , instead . of the guinea which the police authorities had allowed as remuneration for her loss of time . —Alderman Finnis

      said that the charge was one of a very grave nature , and became important in consequence of the fraud being committed by an officer of the . police force , whose duty should have been to . protect the . publio from fraud , instead of encouraging such a nefarious system by setting a bad example to others . The case was one that called for the most stringent investigation , and he would remand it , in order that every inquiry , might be made for that purpose . — Prisoner applied to be admitted to bail , but Alderman Finnis said , under all the circumstances he could not allow prisoner to go at large until his innocence of the charge was fully established . The prisoner was then remanded .

      WORSHIP-STREET . —Fatal Cart Accident . — G . Stowart , in the service of a salesman in Spitalfields-market , was charged with having caused the death of a little boy , named Williams , under the following circumstances : —R . Waters said , that the previous afternoon he was in North-street , Whitechapel-road , when he saw a child , about six years of age , sitting behind a dray , from whioh he was suddenly jerked . Defendant was passing by at the time , having the care of a horse _amfcart , and before the man was aware of the position of the

      child ; which had its head in front of the off-wheel , it was run over . Some persons screamed out , upon which he stopped the dray . The child was taken to the London Hospital , but life was extinct . —Another witness stated that there were two children behind the dray , and that ' the driver ofthe dray , upon being told'they were there , attempted to lash them with his whip , when they both jumped off , and fell under the legs of the horse in the cart / The other child had a harrow escape . —The defendant was held to bail , and remanded to await the result of tho coroner ' s inquest . ..,

      Fracas between Mercantile Men . —Mr . John Cooke , - a corn merchant at Whitechapel , was charged with violent conduct towards Mr . Stephen Ueury Lee , principal clerk in the employment of Messrs . Bishop and Pell , the extensive distillers in Finsbury . —The complainant stated tbat about a fortnight since the defendant purchased an assortment of wines at their establishment , which he returned upon their hands a few days afterwards ; and about three o ' clock on the afternoon of Thursday , the 5 th inst ., he entered' the counting . house in a state of towering excitement , and produced a sample bottle of wine , of the quality of which he complained in a very outrageous way , and conducted himself in such a violent and menacing manlier ,

      that witness at length descended from his desk , and , seizing him by the collar , - insisted , tbat he should instantly quit the premises . The defendant , however , instantly commenced a furious attack upon him , striking him right and left , and he was compelled to send out one ofthe porters for a police--man , but before one could be procured the prisoner hastily left the place . About an hour afterwards , -while waiting in Finsbury-place for an omnibus , ho observed the defendant , who made towards him in a menacing manner , and exclaimed , "That he had not done with him yet-, and that he would show the world what a dirty blackguard he was . " Witness then said he should obtain the protection of the police , as he wished to have no further altercation with him , and immediately went in search of

      an officer ; but on returning to the spot found that the defendant has disappeared , and he therefore took out a warrant against him . —The complainant denied that amy violence had been practised towards the defendant , but intimated that he had no vindictive _filings against him , and would bo satisfied if he were compelled to find security for his future peaceable behaviour . —This course was ultimately acceded to by the magistrate , and the required re cognisances haying been taken , all -the parties quitted the court . l AooRATATEn ahd BnuTAi , AssAutT . —Mr . Edward Denman , one of the corporation corn meters , appeared upon , a warrant before Mr . Hammill , charged with the following aggravated assault upon Mrs .

      . The " - _^ 6 mplaihahfc _^^^^ woman ;* in an advanced Btate-of . pregnaoy , stated that the defendant , " who . was a friend , of her husband , and had taken ' tea with the' family on Monday * _sen ' night , when MrrKirkness intimated his , intention to ' proceed : upon " a ' journey the folio _winffmorhing ' , lcnooked at the door oh the evening of that day , and , on its being opened by the servant , asked ; if her ; master was at home , and oh being answered in' the negative walked Btraight into the kitchen , where the witness was seated . After taking a chair at the table he expressed a wish to have some supper , and , handing some money to . the . servant-girl , requested her to procure some ham and porter in the neighbourhood . J

      The instant she had gono out for that purpose the defendant abruptly invited her to place herself upon his knee , stating that he was an old married man , and that she had nothing to fear from him . Witness indignantly rejected the overture , upon which the defendant knelt down , beforo her and kissed her several times , and at the same time pressed her knees down upon the chair and insisted that she should return the salute . She used her bost efforts to extricate herself from his grasp , but the defendant held her so firmly that she could not , declaring that he would release her at once if she complied with his request , and , feeling greatly alarmed and agitated , she was compelled to do bo to escape from further violence . The defendant

      then released her , and , hearing the servant at the door , she hastened to admit her , when the defendant , after eating the provisions : sbe had purchased , and pressing the witness to partake of them , which sho declined , desired her to send the girl out again for some cheese and pickles . This she positively refused to do , when the prisoner authoritively ' ordered the servant to go for them , and , having again given ( her money , and thrust her out of the room , witness directed her to leave the door open and return again as soon as possible . As soon as the girl had quitted the house she rose from her chair to snuff the candle , but was instantly followed by the defendant , who assailed her with the grossest indelicacy . After

      describing the details of the outrage , which were of too scandalous a nature to admit of publication , Bhe proceeded to state that she called him a " base wretch , " and asked him what he meant by such conduct , but the defendant ridiculed her expostulations , and continued _smoking a cigar until the servant returned , when he again wished her to go out for some gin and peppermint . Witness , however prohibited the girl from again leaving the room , and after repeatedly requesting the defendant to leave the house , to no purpose , she desired ber servant to open the door for him and show him out , and the defendant , ; after seizing her hand and forcibly shaking it , at length quitted the place . On the following Thursday she received a letter from

      her husband , apprising her of his address in the country , with which she was previously unacquainted , and she immediately transmitted to him an account ofthe indignities to which she had . been subjected , and on the following day ho hastened up to town and took out a warrant foi * the defendant ' s apprehension . ; _, The witness was severely . crossexamined by the defendant , but without _eliciting anything in the slightest degree at variance with her previous testimony . —Rhoda Passingham , a girl twelve years of age , confirmed the evidence , of her mistress , so . far as tbe circumstances had come under her observation , and added , thaton returning from her first message she noticed that the prosecutrix anneared to be _erea _* ly fluried and alarmed , and

      thaton coming back upon the . second occasion she heard her mistressin loud altercation with the defendant , who afterwards wished her to go out for some spirits , but the prosecutrix forbade her doing so . —When called upon for his answer to the charge , the defendant declared that the accusation was entirely without foundation , and trusted the magistrate would allow bim an opportunity for the employment of counsel , as he had been taken into custody at a moment's notice , and no time had been afforded him for the successful prosecution of bis defence . —Mr . Hammill said that ample opportunity would be furnished him for that purpose , as it was clearly a case for the consideration of a jury , and he should therefore order him to put in substantial

      bail , himself in £ 80 , and two sureties in £ _* 10 each , for his appearance at the next examination , when the depositions of the witnesses would be formally completed . THAMES . —A Candidate for Transportation . — Stephen Sly , a half naked lad , described in ' the sheet as a , seaman , nineteen years of age , with no abode ,. was charged ,, on his own confession , with having set fire ; to a haystack , value £ 12 , the property of' Messrs .

I have been three times io

      sea , once to Calcutta and twice to the Isle of France . I saw the haystack , and set my mind on it in the afternoon .- I had a box of lucifers when I fired it .

Upon this lie called a constable and gave her into custody . —Prisoner , in reply to the magistrate , admitted , that she had . wilfully broke the glass , in order that she should be sent to ' prison .

' —Miv Seeker asked her whether any other persons resided in the house ? Witness replied , that a son aiid daughter and two gentlemen lodgers lived with her , and they were all in bed , and sho was certain they , knew nothing about it .

All she had to say . was , that she saw it safo at nine o ' clock , when she shut the drawing and

      Fatal Accident To Lieut. Gale . On Sunda...

      FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUT . GALE . On Sunday last Lieutenant Gale made an ascent with the Royal Cremorno balloon , on the back of a pony , from the Hi ppodrome of Vincennes _, at Bordeaux . It was the first time that Mr . Gale had ever made such an ascent , and his pony had onlv a few days before been broken in . At first the _oonv showed great repugnance at being lifted from hia feet , but he _gradually got accustomed to it , and on Sunday allowed himself to be carried off by the bal . loon with the greatest composure . As there was some delay in filling the balloon with gas , tbe pony gaily saddled and bridled , " was paraded round the Hippodrome , and was regarded with extraordinary curiosity by the spectators . An immense multitude assembled to witness the

      ascent . The local journals say that the town was completely deserted , and that the adjacent villages sent their inhabitants . When Mr . Gale was seen to ascend rapidly intc the air seated on his pony , with a bridle in . one hand and saluting the pubjic with the other , there was a sort of shudder of fear in the vast gathering . The pony was perfectly calm , with his legs hanging and the neck bent : but he made no movement . The descent of Mr . Gale took place at a short distance from Bordeaux . When the horse had been released from its slings , the peasants who held the ropes , mistaking the instructions ofthe aeronaut , let go the cords before Lieut . Gale had disengaged himself . The balloon , instantly rushing up with , immense force , carried with it the unfortunate

      aeronaut , who clung on to a rope . The branch of the pine to which the grapnel was fastened was torn off by the violence of the shock , and away went the machine mounting tothe clouds with the unhappy man . It should seem that he succeeded in seizing the cord attached to the valve for letting off the gas ; for after a quarter of an" hour the balloon was observed to descend , and hopes were entertained that the aeronaut might have escaped the destruction which seemed imminent . On the next morning , however , the discovery ofthe balloon , half inflated , amid one of those forests of pines , which stretch over the sandy Landes , left little doubt as to the fatal accident which had befallen its owner . After a long search a body , . identified as Lieutenant Gale ' s , was found at some distance among the trees .

      Fire and Loss op Life at Chiswick . —Late on Wednesday night a fire took place in Bennett-street , near the old church at Chiswick , on the premises known as the Chancellor public house , which were wholly destroyed , and severe damage done to several ofthe adjacent property . About a quarter to eleven an alarm was given , and upon the inhabitants proceeding to the spot , the front shop and bar were found completely in flames , and Mrs . Butler in front of the premises screaming to the _bystanders to save her children . Amidst the excitement , Mr . Butler , who had heard the cries of fire , arrived . A ladder being procured and placed against the windows , he ascended it , and got into the house , and succeeded in saving the whole of them , though one or two were much burnt about the face and hands .

      Mr . Butler then disappeared with an intention , it was supposed , of rescuing three favourite spaniels of Eing Charles ' s breed , for which he had been offered 150 guineas , which were in another part of the premises . Some of the neighbours attempted to prevent him going , by laying hold of his arms , but he broke away from them , when , soon after , the floors fell , and he was never seen after . About half-past one o ' clock on Thursday forenoon the men discovered his remains , near the basement . It is supposed the fire originated by an escape of gas . On Friday evening Mr . H . M . Wakley , the deputy coroner , held an inquest at the Burlington Arms , Church-street , Chiswick , on the body of the said Mr . Robert Butler , aged 42 , when the jury returned a verdict , "That the deceased was burned to death by fire , but how the said fire originated there was no evidence to prove . "

      Tne sentence of death passed upon the convict Hannah Curtis has been commuted to transportation for life .
