      W The following appeared in our Town Edition of last Saturday . FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE . BELGIUM . On Thursday the anniversary fetes in commemoration of Belgian independence commenced at Brussels amid firing of cannon . A solemn mass , attended by the King and ministers , was said for the repose of those who fell in the patriotic struggle , after which the public places of amusement were opened free to all comers at the charge of the government .

      LOMBARD Y . The " Milan Gazette , " of the 16 th , gives an account of a terrible inundation which has laid waste all the tract of country , between Milan and the Lago Maggiore . On the 9 th , about midnight , the torrents from the mountains swelled the Arno and the Strona to such an extent that the waters broke down the dams , and rushed with fearful rapidity in the direction of Gallarate , a commercial town of four thousand minhabitants , which they soon reached , washed away walls and out-housespenetrated into the cellars , shops , and

      , ground floors , and inundated every part of the town . By extraordinary exertions on the part of the male population no human lives were lost ; but horses , cattle , and a multitude of the smaller domestic animals were drowned . Four new bridges built over the mountain stream of the Arno were earned off , as was also an old and solid one on the Strona , winch had resisted many a fearful inundation before . The damage done to property of every kind is immense , but has not yet been ascertained . The only inundation upon record in that district , equal to this in violence and extent , occurred on 24 th July , 1752 .

      Central Criminal Couet. Cutting And Woun...

      CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUET . Cutting and Wounding . —James Head , 20 , was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Frederick Richard Allen , with intent to murder him . —It appeared that the prosecutor in this case was a drover , residing in Lucy ' s-buildings , Gray ' sinn-lane , and the prisoner was his step-son , and resided with him . The occurrence in question took place on the evening of the 8 fch of August , and it appeared that about half-past seven o ' clock the prisoner came home accompanied by a young woman , and they had tea together , and then went out , and the prisoner came home again between 11 and 12 , and soon afterwards the prosecutor and his wife went up stairs to go to bed , leaving

      the prisoner in the lower room . It appeared that shortly after the prosecutor had got into his own room he called out to the prisoner to know if he had taken his young woman home ; and he added , " I have seen her in * her smock many a time . " The prisoner was very angry at what the prosecutor said , and his mother told him he was a very foolish fellow , and inquired whether he supposed his father had ever seen the young woman without a smock . It appeared that this did not appease the prisoaer , who continued abusing the presecutor , and at length the latter said he would not have a noise in his house , and he would go down and alter it ; and he proceeded down stairs with his trousers in his hand . The prisoner then

      went out of the lower room into the court , and the prosecutor put on his trousers , and while he was doing so the prisoner called out that if he eame into the court he would run him through . The prosecutor , in answer , said , " You will—will you ? I a'int afraid of you , " and he took up his drover ' s stick and went towards the prisoner , who immediately rushed upon him and stabbed him twice in the side , inflicting thereby very serious injury , from the effects of Avhich he had not yet recovered . The jury found the prisoner guilty of wounding the prosecutor with intent to do him grievous bodily harm . He was sentenced to be transported for seven years .

      Sentence on Sill . —Richard Sill , the attorney , was placed at the . bar for sentence . —Mr . Parrjr said that , after what had fallen from the pr isoner , he felt it to be his duty to state that this man had succeeded in obtaining from nearly all parties connected with the transaction large sums of money . He had got from John Broome £ 25 , through his attorney , Mr . Lewis , before he would withdraw his opposition to Broome ' s bail , and the same sum from Staden , for a similar purpose . He had also

      £ 125 from another person , named Buddy ; and although prisoner spoke of his high character , he had been once tried for perjury , but acquitted . —His Lordship , after briefly attending to some of the facts of the trial , said that , to a man of his ( prisoner ' s ) previous position , the sentence he was about to pass would be most severely felt by him . He then ordered him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two years .

      Defrauding Emigrants . —C . J . Tripe , 20 , andH . G . Montague , 51 , who were convicted on Tuesday of obtaining money by false pretences—the pretences being that they were acting under the authority of a gold mining and emigration company , which in reality had no existence , were placed at the bar to receive the judgment of the court . His Lordship addressed the defendants as follows—You have been convicted , after a very long and patient inquiry , of obtaining money from several people by the false pretence that you were acting under the authority of a company which was prepared to provide a passage for them to Australia . It has entailed a very severe loss upon a number of poor people , and I trust that if by the

      regulations of the Government upon the subject of emigration , any assistance can be afforded to them from that source , or that the regulations can in any way be relaxed so as to afford them any assistance—I hope that to that extent at least the injury to them will be repaired . The scheme of defrauding the public under the pretence of getting up a company is not new in this country , and I hope these proceedings will operate as a warning in future . The sentence , therefore , upon you and each of you , will be that you be severally transported beyoiidthe seas for the term of seven years . The defendants left the bar without making any observation .

      Skittle Sharping . —Samuel Ridgeley , 42 , John Malony , 21 , and George Collins , 36 , were indicted for misdemeanour in hav ing unlawfully obtained from Daniel Barker , the sum of £ 3 8 s . by fraud and ill practice at skittles . The jury found all the defendants guilty . A man named William Downes , who had been convicted of an offence of a similar character on the previous day before the Recorder , was placed at the bar to receive judgment with the other defendants . The Recorder , in passing sentence , said that he was determined to do all that laid in his

      power to break up the gang of scoundrels that infested the straets of the metropolis with the object of plundering persons from the country , or any one else who might be silly enough to fall into the traps they laid for them . He should , therefore , order Downes , whose offence , although of a similar kind , amounted in law to felony to be transported for ten years * Ridgeley to be transported for seven years ; and the other two defendants he ordered to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one year .

      Police. The Defrauded Emigrants.—At The ...

      POLICE . The Defrauded Emigrants . —At the Mansion House , the poor emigrants who were plundered by Tripe and Montague , the concoctors of the Australian Emigration and Gold Mining Company , appeared upon the subject of the public subscription for their benefit . —Sir R . W . Garden told the emigrants that he had sent for them in order to deliver into their hands the money which he had received as public subscriptions for their service . It was his intention to send to the Emigration Commissioners a petition , which might have the effect of diminishing the charge for their passage to Port Phillip , in consideration of the delay which had been occasioned , and the serious injury to which they had been subjected .

      Captain Lean said he would most readily take charge of the letter which Sir Robert Garden intended to write to the commissioners , who , he said , were very deeply impressed with the public obligations due to the alderman for what had been done for the service of the vast emigrating masses of the kingdom , by the vigorous prosecution of the one case which had been just decided . After some further conversation , they retired , expressing boundless thanks for the warm interest which had been taken in their affairs .

      The Omnibus Nuisance . —The proprietors and drivers of a considerable number of omnibuses running along the Tottenham-Court-road to and from Camden-town were summoned before Mr . Henry for obstructing the highway by loitering , & c . —After some discussion Mr . Henry directed Inspector Foxall to station constables along the road during the whole of next week , to take the number of every omnibus that stopped unnecessarily or loitered on the way . On Monday week the officers are to state the results of their observation , and his worship would be guided in the course which he intended to pursue by the reports received .

      Mr . Albert Smith . —We have great satisfaction in stating that no doubt whatever is enteitained by the nearest relatives of Mr . Albert Smith that he andhisbrotherare both well * in Switzerland , without having met with any accident whatever , save the loss of a pocket-book , with a considerable sum of money which it contained . Gentleman Drowned in the Serpentine . —On Thursday morning information was sent to Mr . Langham , the cleputycouoner , of the death of Mr . Stevens , of Baynham-street , Camden-town , under the following circumstances : —Mr . Stevens

      was an excellent sculler , and rowed a good deal on the Serpentine . On Wednesday afternoon he had his boat out as usual , and had been rowing lor about half an hour , when he stopped up at the bridge to see some persons fishing . His boat he allowed to drift under the bridge , and it was discovered afterwards he had taken his sculls in . Some gentlemen who were in Kensington-gardens saw him standing up in the boat , and apparently pushing it from the side of the bridge , when he

      went head first into the water . Several persons called out 14 Hoy , hoy , " instead of ' Boat . " Parsons , one of the Humane Society's men , heard the noise , but could not see where the sound came from , as the bridge intervened ; but , as theory was repeated , several boats went to the spot , and in about ten minutes Wincoate , one of the society ' s men , succeeded in getting the body out , and he immediately rowed up to the Humane Society ' s-house , where every effort was used to restore animation , but without effect .

      Dreadful Accident . —A few days ago , a coroner ' s inquest was held at the Swan lnn , before Alexander Cuthbertson , Esq ., touching the death of Thomas Thomas , labourer , aged 49 , who was unfortunately deprived of life under circumstances singularly painful and horrifying . From the evidence adduced before the coroner and jury , it would appear that the deceased , together with a man named John Sullivan , was at work on the day preceding , at the ^ Iaesteg Iron Works , and was engaged in fillingblack band in a calcined state from a •' clamp , " preparatory to its being conveyed to the blast furnaces . The two men had

      just completed the proe . ss of "driving the piles , " a kind of massive iron wedge , down into the clamps by means of sledge hammers , for the purpose of separating- the molten ore , and were , at the moment of the accident , engaged with a large iron bar in detaching portions of the ore , which often consists of solid lumps of several tons weight , and which , having succeeded in effecting , they both unfortunately lost their footing , and were in an instant precipitated into the burning chasm , between the clamp and the lump which had just separated from

      it . Sullivan succeeded in making his escape , severely though not dangerously burnt , while his less fortunate companion was in the space of a few minutes literally roasted alive , the smoke and sulphur rendering it impossible to know the precise spot where he lay , until the devouring element had effectually done its work . The charred remains of the deceased , who but a few minutes previously had so vigorously wielded the ponderous iron sledge , were eventually taken out of the fire by means of a coker ' s " rabble . " Verdict , " Accidental death . "

      Earthquakes in Jamaica . —On Friday morning last , we were visited with three shocks of the earth . The first occurred at half-past 8 o ' clock , and was quickly followed by a second shock , accompanied by a very loud rushing noise , not unlike that which usually accompanies the first burst of a storm over the vast and mighty deep—the ocean . These . two shocks did not last beyond three seconds , and appear to have passed from the northward to the southward . The third shock was felt at 9 o ' clock , but so slight was it , that we did not experience the effect of it . —Jamaica Paper .

      The Banditti of the Northern Counties . —It . will be a source of great satisfaction to the public to learn that the formidable band of robbers who committed some of the most daring robberies lately known in this country about three or four weeks ago is likely to be completely broken up , if the whole of the desperadoes are not brought io justice . The robberies to which we allude are those at Didsbury , Mil-field , and Bolton , near Bradford , committed by seven or eight men armed with pistols and guns , and wearing dark masks . We learn from Yorkshire that one of these men , named John Dunn has been apprehended by the chief constable of Brad '

      ford , and confesses to having taken part in both the Mirfield and Bolton robberies . In fact , from his' statement part of the silver plate stolen fron Mr . Clough , the solicitor at Bolton , near Bradford , has been found in the Bradford Canal including a silver teapot and a silver coffeepot . The Liverpool police have in custody a man named Fox , but he is confined by fever at the infirmary , and it will be some weeks before he can be examined . It is stated also that Mr . Beswick , of Manchester lias in custody a third robber of the same gang , named Redman ' each of these men lias confessed to his own share in these robberies , and it is likely that the police , having succeeded so far will yet obtain the names of the other robbers , or some clue that will lead to their apprehension .
