rettsnstes-Oct . 16—Thera have been four new cases since twelve o ' clock yesterday , making in all thirty-five cases of attack .

John Rutherford and James Jones ; 8 th , James Bigwood ; 10 th , Jehn Debank ; 18 th , George Mitchell ; Mtb , _Willitm Eastman ; 16 tb , _EdsrardDivina . The number of recoveries are returned fire , ssme as yesterday . No cases , or the
least appearance of cholera , bave been returned by the medical practitioners ia the town and parish of Woolwich up to twelve o ' clock to-day . So that the disease is sfiil _exelosively confined to the Justitia eonviot hulk , whieh ought to be immediately removed and broken op and burned . The planks of the hulk itappean are rotten , and act as a sponge to absorb the filth ofthe _ve-sel ; in addition to which , it is moored at the mouth ot a common sewer ! The d _^ o tte Cxsr of Russia eanld not sanction a more eruel aet tban the confinement of prisoners in this charnel house ofthe _Malihusian Whigs .

From twelve o ' clook yesterday to twelve o ' clock to-day , there have been 10 new cases , and consequently there are
thirtyteven cases of attack , aad twelve deaths , one having died this _-nornm _*** , and ten recoveries The result ef the meeting of the medioal board and an investigation of the cases on board the Justitia , is an order that the convicts are to be removed ont of that vessel , and for the present will be hulked on board the Hebe and Sulphur _r-eotnvfn ** vessels , opposite Woolwich Dockyard : Tha Jrutitia is also ordered to be re-• _Bov-d frora he * present position , and will bs sta * turned lower down the river , where she was formerly placed , or very nearly in the same spot , where the _emvicts wets generally healthy . The inhabitants of the town , and the convicts at the dockyard , have hitherto escaped the slightest symptoms ofthe disease .

Mr John Cheethsm , a clerk in the bank of Attwood and Spooner , was seized with unequivocal symptoms on Saturday night , and expired on Sunday night . Mr Cheetham was attended by Dr Wright , MrChavasse , and Mr Blake , and no doubt is entertained of tke disease being Asiatic oholera .

Whig Prisons And Chartist Prisoners. To ...
WHIG PRISONS AND CHARTIST PRISONERS . TO THE _ISITOS OF IHE _NOSTHSSlf 8 TA » , Sib , —Itwas my intention to have given a lengthened description ofthe treatment to whioh political prisoners are subjected in the various dungeons to which Whig duplicity has consigned them , and to publish it in a lengthy and detailed form in a projected periodical , but as same disappointment has occurred , I think it my duty to call publio attention to the subjeot , through your friendly columns , in order to induce the people to cast off their present apathy and grass neglect towards the wives and families ef their incarcerated brethren . Itis perhaps not generally known that all the Chartist prisoners confined in Yorkshire and Lancashire , are subjected to the silent , or separate system , being confined
ineolitery cells for _twenty-three ont of every twenty-four hours , one hour each day being devoted to what 19 termed ' exercise , ' or , in other words a trotting match , hfce so many horses . At Kirkdale , where Dr M Douall has two years to serve , 1 was detained for a week ; and , although merely waiting for bail , was placed ia solitary confinement , and treated in the same manner as the convicts under sentence of transportation . Dr M'Douall waa in the same building and within four cells of me , and it is my firm conviction that unless an effort be made to cause his removal that he oannot survive the period of his imprisonment . I contrived to hold a few short conversations with him whilst taking onr exercise , ' and he requests hiB friends to exert themselves in getting him placed as _afirst-chus misdemeanant ; and to direct attention to tbe oase of Mrs M'DoaaU .
He , in common with the other Chartists , is dressed in gaol clothing , and forced like them to pick wool in bis solitude . The bread is abominable , being nearly blaok ; 1 have shown a portion of it to the leading Chartists in _Mtraohestar , Oldham , Roohdale , and Halifax , who oan testify to the truth of this statement : and I believe that the whole of onr friends in the various dungeons are doomed to similar usage , as I generally found the turnkeys , and other efficials , make it their business to inBult the Chartist prisoners , in addition to enforcing the most rigorous discipline of the prison . I could give a dismal acount of the look-ups , and other places where I have been pent up during my late arrests , bat it woald occupy too much of your space and perhaps deprive me of the meansof calling the attention of the thousands who have cheered these men on , so as to cauee them to be placed in their present position , to a sense of their duty . in
Sinoe I was last hnra _^ d , I have been several towns , and visited the families of the imprisoned Chartists , and ia nearly every instance I have found them shamefully neglected—nay . deserted—by the people , In many instance * the wives and children of some of our best men have been suffered to feel all the horrors of starvation . Oh 1 shame on the working men for this injustice ! Surely it is enough for our brethren to endure the heavy bodily suffering of starvation and solitude , without having their minds tortured by aknowledge of the privationsendured by their
families . I have conversed with several working men on this subject , and they generally stated their willingness to do aU in their power , if proper com _raittees wera formed ; I , therefore , suggest to thereat Chartists the propriety of forming small committees in eaoh town , and to forward the name and address of some ef their number to the Northern Stab , to which place all _subscription should be taken . Thera are a large number of men yet to take their trials , a great many in a few weeks , and it is high time that tho work was vigorously begun . 1 am , youra truly , George _Wutk .

Worship-Street. — Incautious Sale Or Poi...
WORSHIP-STREET . — Incautious Sale or 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 Birob , house surgeon at tbe hospital , who attended to support the charge , stated that he felt it his duty to adopt the proceedings , in consequence of the numerous cases of a similar kind whioh had recently come under his professional notice , and the frequent recurrence of whieh he attributed in a great measure to the indiscriminate and _misohievons manner in which poisons of almost every _description were constantly sold over the counters of druggists and other
persons who dealt in suoh articles .. The prisoner was brought to the hospital in a state of complete stupefaotion oa the nignt of Tuesday sen'night , and after the usual means had been successfully resorted to to dislodge the poiBon and restore her to consciousness , she voluntarily acknowledged having taken sixpenny worth of laudanum whioh 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 previoiisoases having disclosed the same culpable want of caution in almoBt every instance , he was induced to give the prisoner into custody , not so muoh with a view of pressing for her individual punishment , as to place
the subjeot under _thejudioial notice ofthe magistrate , in the hope that he would be able te suggest some mode of imposing a check upon the fatal facility at present afforded for the commission of such offences . —Mr Hammil said that he wss perfectly aware of the serious evils resulting from the practice referred to , but as the law now stood itwas entirely without a remedy , and tbe only means of effeoting suoh a desirable object , would be by a direot application to the legislature for the imposition of more stringent provisions to regulate the sale of such drugs than at present existed . —Mr Birch said he had it in con temptation to make an early application to the Seoretary of State for the introduction of some suoh measure , as there could be little doubt that the horrible
cases of poisoning which had taken place in an adjoining oounty would never have ocourred if the re * strictions upon the sale of suoh articles had been more severe . The case against the prisoner was then proceeded with , and it appeared _fromlthe statement of her daughter , that the ooourrence had originated in some family differences whioh had excited her mother to suoh a degree that ever since she had b * en 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 gave utterance to some incoherent observations whioh left little doubt that Bhe was la bouring under 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 . _Coiarso . —Sarah Smith was committed for trial upon a charge of having been ooncerned in coining . —Sergeants Brennan and Dubois , with other officers , under the direotion of the authorities of the Royal Mint , broke into the house No . 5 , Nelsonplace , _Haokney-road , and in the kitchen fonnd a galvanic battery , and bottles containing matters in solution , calculated for electro-plating spurious coin .
The only _person then on the premises was the prisoner , who , when the officers entered , waB sitting at a table in another room , as they deposed , in tho apt of brushing a counterfeit stalling , whioh she held in her hand , and at the moment she upset a cup containing an acid solution similar to that in the bottles in tha kitchen . Two other base shillings were also found in the room , and a knife on the table with plaster of Paris on the blade , together with other things , all of whioh were produoed . No moulds were found , however , the principals in the business having , it was believed , carried them off shortly before .
CLERKENWELL A Courageous _Olu Ladt . — On Wedaesday , Edward _Marney , who had _beeu formerly convioted , was charged by Mr Dempsey , No . 5 , Polygon , Somers Town , with breaking into his house and stealing a silver watoh , a quantity of jewellery , and other property . —Mrs Fanny Morgan , aunt to the prosecutor , said that on Tuesday evening , about _sevan 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 , bat knooked the candle out of her hand . She seised him by the
collar , and held him tightly , whilst she oalled 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 bim and suooeeded 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 oalled eat' Murder , ' _Robbery , ' and begged of the neighbours to come to her assistance . The prisoner then threw some of the property into the street , bat she kept him at toy until the police and some of her neighbours and inmateB of the honse oame to ber
assistance and took the prisoner into custody , after a resistance . The watch which the prisoner threw into the street waspioked up near the door . —By Mr Coombe : 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 oame to her assistance , with whom he also struggled desperately . —Corroborative evidence was given by those who came to the old lady ' s assistance , and the prisoner , who Baid he would reserve his defenoe for his trial , was committed . On leaving the bar , some well-known convioted thieves shook hands with him cordially , and bade him' Good bye , ' and he was taken away laughing .
Cboxltt . — -Sarah Andrews , living at No . 27 , _Clerkeawell-olose , wag charged with excessive cruelty to William Andrews , a cripple between fourteen and fifteen years of age . —The _unfortunats boy , who was supported into the court , was _attsauatsd by ill treatment , and exhibited marks of violenoe on the head . —MrEing said the defendant was the complainant ' s mother-in-law , and for a length of time past she hadexerofced the _greatest crnelty towards him , and his cries and screams frequently alarmed the neighbours until he ( Mr King ) determined , in consequence of her conduot towards the bey last Monday to bring her to jastice , 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 Bhe complained that he was slow about 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 stomaoh , forced her hand into his - mouth to prevent Mi orying , and knelt upon his stomaoh with all her might , and he now felt great pain ; She also bit his middle fingure nearly through , and he bled very muoh . A gentleman entered the placa and took him away—Thomas Moultonsaid he was passing by at the time and heard the cries and ecreams of the boy . On looking through the 8 hop window , he saw defendant drag him violently from under the counter , and dash him on the floor—Mr Henry King spoke ™ JS « S / r _* A _*^ . »«« hfl » boy on the part ofthe defendant .-The prisoner was oommitted for trial .
MARLBOROUGH - STREET . _ a French SquABBU .-M . Louis _TopssaintDelpectre was _summonedbefore Mr Hardwicke for having threatened to blow out the brains of Dr _Lwis Ardoin , physiciantothe ex-Kingofthe French , Louis 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 &! w _£ J £ ? fi ! 5 of P rC i eedipga in another court . The threats towards Dr A tdoin took place at the Prince ot Wales Hotel , Leicester-street , on Saturday _5 _T 2 ? i ? _« _m _? r _^' d _l , . a 8 at tke _** ° H when the defendant oame np 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 his portmanteau for that very purpose . The complainant would have been inclined to treat this conduot on the Dart of thn d _« .
fondant 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 oharaoter of a murderer if he did not get suoh a [ settlement of matters between the complainant and himself as he wished , the complainant , who laboured under considerable fear , had resorted to the protection of the English law . He would further say that the defendant ' s conduct wai to be attributed to hii ignorance of the

difference between the Frenoh and the English law . Tbe French law gave an individual no protection against a threat of injury . The English law extended that proteotion by empowering a magistrate to order any poraon holding out 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 Prices of Wales Hotel , the defecdaat , with menaoiDg gestures , came np to him and a pplied the terms fripon _, voleur , chevalier _d'indue trie , and other insulting names to him , and then declared he had oome over for the purpose of blowing out bis brains with the- pistol he bad in his portmanteau . —A gentleman who attended for the
defendant , said the defendant in the first instance addressed the complainant only with the view of _settling a previous commercial dispute } not with the view of threatening to blow the complainant ' s brains out , as the oomplainant would _wiBh the oourt to believe . —Mr Hardwick having ascertained from the oomplainant that he really feared tbe defendant would put hiB threat into exeoution , addressed the de endant , and told him that whatever ai , ht ba tbi nature ef the dispute between himself and the complainant , thelaw of England did not permit one party to attain his objeot against another party by menaoe or intimidation . He should , therefore , require the defendant to find sureties to keep the peaoe fer three monthB . *'
SOUTHWARK . _—Seuucmon . — On Wednesday , Louisa Stephenson , an interesting looking girl , of sixteen years of age , was oharged with shoplifting-Two cases having been proved against tbe prisoner , Mr Games , on behalf of the prisoner requested to make a few observations on the case . He then ( aid that the acoused was the daughter of highly respectable parents in the country , and that a short time since Bhe had been seduced by a gentleman , and absconded from her friends . That sho had been living at Brighton with her Beducer _, up to a few weeks ago , when in coming up to town by the train she had had the misfortune to meet with one of those wretcheB of women who lire by decoying young females , and who prevailed on her to accompany her to her house , whioh was one of an infamous description . Here it was that the unfortunate girl was mtde the victim ef the procuress , who instilled into
her mind , amongst other _vioious lessens , that of becoming a Baoplifter ; and had eventually taken her to the _warehouses and instructed her in the way she was to possess herself of the stolen property . When , however , the aeoused was taken into custody h 6 r vile companion escaped , and Mr Games said he was only anxious to describe the facts in order to place the law in a proper light , and exhibit the manner iu which his unfortunate client had been led into crime . —A very ladylike woman , who described herself es the prisoner ' s sister , oame forward and verified the faots mentioned . —Mr Cottingham said it _wsb lamentable for a young creature like the prisoner , only sixteen years ot age , and of respectable parents , to be placed in suoh a situation . She was the viotim , not only of seduction , but also of a base woman . The prisoner , however , must be committed , and the facts narrated mentioned to the Judge .
The G & een . Eied _Momstir , — "Wlll ' _ara Potter , tin * plate worker of Union-street , appeared upon his reoognl . _aances tq answer the oharge of assaulting and wounding Henry _Hjrne on the bead with a life-preserver . The defendant , hiring grounds of suspicion that bis wife and the complainant were on too intimate terms , concealed himself In a cupboard in his shop for tbe purpose of watching them . He had not been long iu his hiding place when the complainant entered the shop and went up stairs with his wife , and tbe defendant then issued from tbe cupboard , in doing wbicb be threw down tome artloles , whioh alarmed the parties up stairs , and when be was rushing up to infllot summary vengeance upon those against whom his suspicions were _aroassd , he met hit wife hurrying down , snd he passed her . and darting
Into the roem where complainant was , he attaoked him with a large street door key . The complainant , although frightfully out about the head , managed to _esoape , or it was probable he would have received still more serious injuries , —Mr Salomons , on the part ofthe complainant , said there was bo truth in the imputation that there was any improper intimacy between the complainant and defendant's wife , and that he , the defendant , was a r aan of a jealouB disposition , and that he had aaaaulted otber parties without just oause or provocation—Mr Roberts , for the defendant , sal * tbat ho courted inquiry on the subjeot , and that it would be found that the allegation wbb destitute of truth . —Mr Salomons said that there was evidence of the defendant having perpetrated a most violent assault , which might have termuuttd In the death of the person upon whom it was inflicted ; There was no evidenoe to _provo that anything of a orlminal nature bad taken plaoe , and therefore he trusted the
_magistrate would uend the ca ° e to the sessions . —Mr Cot tlngham eaid that when the complainant first applied fer a warrant he carefully abstained from describing the _olronmstances under which the assault , whtoh was oer . taialy oua of a very violent nature , had been committed , merely saying when asked the question by bim , that he gave defendant no provoeatlon , and was at a loss know to the cause of hi ° having made suoh a furious attack upon bim , The real faots , however had sinoe oome out , and defendant , under the strong impression that the _complrinant was acting towards him in a manner that was calculated to dostroy his domestic peaoe , attacked him in the manner already _dosorlbed . Tbe _magistrate , however added tbat if the complainant wished to take the case before a jury , he bad no objeotion 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 .
Railway Robbebt . —On Tuesday , H . Jones , Louisa Fisher , Sarah Lambert , and Martha Mitchel were oharged with being eoncerned In stealing a portmanteau containing clothes and valuable papers , the property of Mr Western , a gentleman residing at Kennington , —It appeared that on the preceding evening , at six o'clock , the complainant arrived at the Waterloo terminus from Winchester and having hired a oab , his luggage , conlisting of a portmanteau and box , was plseed on the roof of the vehicle , Oa the road to Kennington the portmanteau was stolen .

The prisoners being in the house at the time , were all taken into oustody . A . cabman , named Flnob , who bad given the _informatien to the _pelioe , was called on to give evidenoe , but he equlvooated so muoh that the magistrate ordered him to be plaoed In the dock with the other prisoners , and he was charged with having had a participation ia the robbery , and they were all remanded .

Camp , a journeyman bricklayer , appeared before Mr Elliott on a summons charging him with assaulting his wife . —Mrs Camp , whose jolly and portly appearance formed a perfeot contrast to the diminutive person of her lord and master , went Into a lengthened history of her numerous causes for jealousy , and the Ill-treatment she experienced at the hands of her husband , and concluded by saying that , not content with beating and ktokng her until she was black and blue all over , he occasionally amused himself by cutting np her olotbes ; and latterly , when be met her in the street , he destroyed , as well as he was able , these npon ber back . —Mr Elliott : Well , defendant , what have yoa got to say to this oharge made by you * wife ?_ Camp : For flod ' s sake , yoar worship ,
send me to gaol , or any place , in _prefersnoeto goiig baok wiih that woman , A gaol , I assure your worship , would be the least of the evils , for you can form no Idea ofwhat a life I have led with that woman . Ss strong is her jealousy that ahe accuses me of an Improper Intimacy with her own sister , and the result of our liWnr together will ba tbe murder of one or the otber of us some flae morn-Ing . —Mr Elliott : Then you had better live apart . What are you prepared to allow your wife _weekly . —Camp : She does not want anything , your worship —Mrs Camp : No , Blr , all I want is that he keeps away from me altogther , aad not annoy me when he meets me . —Camp : I'm agreeable te that . —Mr Elliott : Tuen you must enter Into your own recognisances to do so . —The defendant entered into the required sureties , and the happy couple

In answer to further questions , sho Bald that It was born on the previous Saturday between two and tbree o ' clock , and that it lived only a few minutes . She stated that she was going to take it to a woman at Chelsea , who promised to bury it tor her , bo that no one should know anything about it . Oo the way to the station , sbe said , ' Oh , sir , what do you think will be done to m 9—tell me your real opinion —do you think I shall be hanged ?

MANSION-HOUSE , — ImoaTANT to Ehmbants , — Lieutenant Lean , U . K ., tbe Londoa agent for tbe Government Emigration , appeared at the justice , room , for tbe purpose of calling the Lord Mayor's attention to a matter of considerable publio importance , He had , be Mid , been _in-tructed by the authorities at the Colonial Land end Emigration Office , to present to his lord-hip tbe cases of three men npon whom a person residing in Billiter . street had attempted to praotice a gross fraud , by endeavouring to entrap them into the payment of a sum of meney , under the pretence * that the company here pre _sented , but wbicb it was believed was limited to himself , were government emigration _agentB . The pretence of the self . oonBtituted emigration agent was the more deeply _mlBohievous _, ae he required payment , under the plea of procuring for his victims that whiob if applied for at tbe Government Colonial and Emigration Office , la _Park-street , Westminster , would bave been given
without any oharge at all . Tbe three poor men who accompanied him to the Mansion Home had , npon the repre . _sentationB of tho person complained of , aold off all their goods , and prepared themselves to emigrate to Australia . They had , however , fortunately oalled upon him , aad mentioned the extent of the transaction whioh had taken plaoe , and he could arrive at no other conclusion tban that a most nefarious fraud was meditated against them . When he had made due investigation , he reported the . oase to the Government Emigration Commissioners , whom he found had not given any authority at all to the party who pretended to be delegated by them , and expressed a hope that the press would lend its aid to the counteraction of eo serious an evil as the suocess of so dangerous an imposition , He could aot more clearly express the views of tbe commissioners tban by reading an extract froat the official letter whioh he had received upon the subjeot , and whioh seated aB follows : —
'As it is stated that no money bas yet been received by —— , the commissioners are of opinion that It would not bB possible to take any legal proceedings against them , nevertheless , as the praotloe which they have adopted might lead to fraud , and might expose poor emigrants to Imposition , the commissioners think it would be adviaable that the utmost publicity should be given te the faot that there is no agent in Londoa authorised to distribute forms or receive money , or act in any other way on behalf of the commissioners ; but that all Information and tbe necessary forms may be prooured gratis on application at this offioe , and that nothing will be gained by proceeding In any other way , either in Inoreating the emigrant ' s chance of acceptance or other _, wise . '
The Lord Mayor . —Tben it is qaite evident that the greatest facilities are afforded by the government !—Lieutenant Lean said the facilities were so complete that there wbb no ocoaslon whatever for an agent in London . As a matter of course tbere were agents appointed for different parts of the country , who were invested with the neoessary authority . One of tbe poor men was to have paid the sum of £ 5 , another the sum of £ 816 s ., and the third the sum of £ 11 , and the third was under a strict Injunction of secrecy , in order , as the self constituted agent informed him , thathe might not ba oharged a pound more . It was to be apprehended tbat tbe plan had been carried oa very extensively , end under the impreisleu that the system ought to be crushed at onoe , It was deemed necessary to represent the faots
to tbe chief magistrate , who had proved himself to be in every respeot bo well qualified to protect all classes of the public—The Lord Mayor . Have you reason to believe tbat 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 whioh I ara acquainted , and I have reason to be . Here tbat your lordship's interposition wlli completely obeck the praolloe . These men have sold off tbeir f oral tare and whatever little property they possessed lu order te enable themselves to go out as advantageously aB possible , and they have there _, fore sustained what ia to them a serious loss . — The Lord Mayor . Ir what capacity did tbey mean to go f—Lieut . Lean . Oae of them intended to have a free
passage- , If eligible , under the order of tbe commissioners ; tbe others were to be assisted emigrants , If ooesidered eligible from the nature of their pursuits and their _families . —The Lord Mayor . What is the difference ofthe treatment experienced by the two classes of free and assisted emigrants !—Lieut . Lean . The _assisted emigrants go out as passengers under the same rules and regulations as the free emigrants . —The three emigrants were then oalled forward . Tbey stated , nndei very intelligible manifestations of injured feelings the Iobs and annoyances to wbich they had been subjected , and from a more intolerable degree of wbioh they had been saved by ths interposition of Lieut , Lean , —Tbe LorJ Mayor . I am sure the publle are greatly indebted te the emigration commissioners for
having deputed you to come before me and make thiB clear statement of faots , so Interesting , and important , an 4 useful te all classes , particularly at the present moment . It is most essential that the publio should know that tbere is but one plaoe In London at which those who Intend to emigrate ought te apply for the neoessary Information and anthorlty , and it Is much to be deplored that there are to be found persons oapable of conducting establishments for such base purposes . I see that tbe practices complained of have not beea so far pursued as to enable me to act in my ma _gisterlal 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 en gaging in suoh unworthy transactions . I trust , too , that emigrants will take a lesson from what has been stated , and adopt the efficacious and economical plan of applying ' 0 the commissioners in Park-street , West . _mtnstor , for the facilities whioh on such _ocotsions ara so
Indispensable . If there were any means by which I could mako an example in this matter , I would , without any hesitation , resort to them aad inflict a penalty , the efficacy of which would not be easily forgotten . I bave lately decided tn a _osse somewhat similar , and _obtained satisfaction for the injured parties , and nothing would give me greater gratification than the power to obtain for you similar recompenee . I muoh regret that you have been victimised , but I have no doubt that upon Lieut , _Lean ' s representation to the board the commissioners will oonsider your oase with a high degree of humanity . —Lieut , t _^ an said tbe commissioners had given due _caaslderation to the cases ot the poor men , and would treat them in the manner Ms lordship had se kindly suggested , . In the ' r name he returned thanks to his lordship for the readiness with wbich tbe _ejmplaiat had been heerd , and tbe judtoious treatment it had re . ceived at his lordship ' s hands . —The three poor men expressed their _gratl'ude in a manner _calculated to make a _Btrong'impresslon in their favour _.
THAMES . _—SiNtoLAE Case of Affiliation . —John Dudley , a very respeo able , demure-looking young man , a jeweller , residing in Great Turner-street , Commerolal-road East , appeared to a summons charging him with refusing to maintain bis illegitimate ohild , by a young woman named Ann Casey . This oase _ws . 3 remanded from Saturday for the purposo of procuring the evidence of a woman named Pettit , wbo , it wsb said , would be ablo to prove that the _defendant had advanced money through hor hands for the use of tbe complainant , whilst the latter was In Poplar Union Workhouse during her confinement . Mr Pelbam appeared for the complainant , and Mr Locke ( barrister ) , for the defence . The case , whieh was very closely sifted by Mr Yardley , excited tho deepest interest , —
The complainant stated that sho went Into the service of tbe defendant ' s mother about twelve monthB since , and had baen _sosreely three weeks there when he attempted to take liberties with her . She threatened to _lea-e , but he requested her to atop during bis mother's illness , and promised not to repeat them . She did bo , and be ultimately succeeded in his designs upon her . When she told him she was with child by him , he begged her not to mention it , as , being newly entered into business , It would b * his ruin , She left in March last , and had subsequently to go to the London Hospital with a pain in her _ohest . Whilst tbere a washerwoman _nanwa Kelly , was sent to her by the defendant and his young man also oalled to see her . Sin afterwards lived with her mother at a Mr Pettit ' s , iu Poplar
, from whence she wrote ti tbe prisoner , who frequently oame to see her there , and gave her money several times , She afterwards went to the Poplar union , where she lay in , and whilst there hor mother occasionally went to Mr Pettit ' s for small Bums of money left for complainant by defendant , —Mary Casey , the mother , to a certain ex . tnnt corroborated her daughter ' s evidence . She proved the defendant ' s visits to her daughter , who . _though _panniloss before , had always money after he left . On one occasion her daughter had _half-a-soverelgn _, out ef whioh MrB Pettit got five shillings for two weeks ' rent . One day her daughter wen * out with the defendant , and stayed hour
nearly an . She brought back 4 s 6 d . —The _complaluant said that on the occasion just spoken of she went with defendant to a public house , at Blaokwall , where they had _slxpennywortb of brandy and water at the bar . He paid ou ? of a _crewa pleoo , ard handed her tho change . —Both witnesses were cross-examined at _lungth b y Mr Locke , but did not vary In _thuir _moln stateaunts . —Mrs Mary Pettit , a sallow , _abarp . visaged , little _oid woman , rather showily dressed , was then oalled . She said the _Caseys oame to live with her in _Msrch last , ard Bhortly after Mr Dudley oame , and asked for tha people up stairs .

Corn. Widbisnat, October 18.-The Weather...
CORN . _WiDBisnAT , October 18 .-The weather has turned very cold , and we hear of snow having fal len In some parts of the country . At this day ' s market the wheat trado 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 demand , and this description sells for more money , the currency ruling from 55 s to 60 s per quarter . Polish Odessa and Marianopoif . 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 prejudice of English . Old malt improved in value . Beans and peas slow at former prices . The arrivals of foreign oats exceed the present consumptive demand . Good fresh old horse corn scarce , and rather dearer , but all other sorts freely offered at our previous currency . _Mask-lami , Oct . 20 . — The fresh parcels of English Wheat on sale realised Monday ' s rates , and a fair demand for consumption was experienced for old foreign wheat at that day ' s quotations . Barley was not a brisk sale , but no alteration can be quoted in its ' . value . Oats , of which foreign suppllies -wero again large , went off slowly , with out alteration in value . _Bosns and peas as last quoted *
GENERAL ATERAGE PRICES OF BRITISH CORN .

Trade was very slow , and 4 s was tbe extreme quotation fer boBt qualities . The supply of sheep considerably exceeded the demand , consequently a reduction was submitted to on most descriptions . Calves were plentiful , and were slowly disposed of at a reduction of fully 2 d per 81 bs .
COLONIAL PRODUCE . _Lonbon , Tuesday . —In the British plantation sugar market rather a large business has been transacted at steady prices ; tbe Bales privatelyamounting to 850 _hbds . The coffee market bas given way to a small extent ; 1 , 100 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 tbe previous value . The quantity of rum landed last week at tbe East and West India Docks wsb 929 puns and 2 hhds ; there were taken for home consumption 207 puns 2 hhds , and exported 113 puns 97 hhds . 350 bags of rice at auction sold at 12 s for good mid white Bengal , and at los 6 d to lis 6 d for Madras . The tea market is quiet . A good consumption is , however , still to be noted .
COTTON . Liverpool , Oct . 18 . —The market to-day was dull and gloomy . The sales are estimated at 4 , 000 bales , of whioh 600 American were for export The business included 3 . 000 American , 400 Babia _, at 4 } dto 5 d ; 200 Egyptian , at 5 jd to 6 | d ; 400 Surat , 2 _£ d to 2 _| d . Prices of American _, and _Brazilian descriptions are a point lower , but other sorts unchanged .
STATE OF TRADE . Manchester . — Our market manifested aa increased dulness on T _uesday . The sales effected in goods bare , iu many instances , bean at some further reduction of price ; while , as to yams , this bas been almost uniformly the case . There have been operations for various quarters , but altogether very limited in extent , and leaving au unfavourable impression from the plain Indication tbey afford of tha probable course of things . The home trade _, we learn , from several firms , is smaller in extent than is usual a * this season , in years of average general pros _, perity . The fal'ing off lies in the large towns ; whilst in the rural districts , little change is perceived . Of our city dealers , the great ones are not much affected by this diminished demand , but the smaller ones feel it severely .
Rochdale . —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 . _HuDDEBSFiELD . —A decidedly dull market . Tbe stock exhibited on Tuesday in the Cloth Hall is heavier than for some weeks past , and some first-rate patterns have 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 ofthe larger firms , there is rather more doing in fancy goods for the American market ; but there is not any improvement ia 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 tbe closing of the navigation for the winter season .
Leeds . —The transactions at our cloth hulls have beeu limited to a small scale , a few heavy winter goods only having _chaBj-ed hands ; both tbe town houses and ship * pers begin to buy sparingly , ewing te the advanced season of theyear .
