      Defkaudixg Emigrants . —At Mansion House , Lionel George Thompson , of No . 1 , Kiche ' S-COUlt , Lime-street , and Gavin Shotter , Ms clerk , were summoned before the Lord Mayor for having conspired to defraud several persons who intended to to emigrate of sums of money . —Mr . Hotter , who appeared for the defendants , said that Mr . Thompson was unavoidably absent upon business . —Shotter appeared to answer the charge , which excited great interest . —A number of witnesses attended who

      stated that they had paid various sums of money to the defendants for passages in the South Sea , of which they , the defendants , assumed to be agents . It was now shown by the owner of the South Sea that they had no connection with him or his vessel . —The Lord Mayor : I shall hold Mr . Shotter to bail , himself in £ 80 , and two sureties in £ 40 each , to appear here on Friday next . —There were , it was stated , several other cases , and some of the disappointed men now begged to know whether steps had been taken to find the whereabouts of Mr . Thompson , whose

      retreat they believed to be known to the present defendant . — The Lord Mayor said the applicants did not seem to be aware that there was a warrant against Thompson , and that active officers were engaged in the search , for him . Ruffianly Assault . —At Marlborough-street , John Davis was brought before Mr . Bingham charged-with having cut the lips and loosened the teeth of Mary Lynch . The complainant , a young Irishwoman of decent appearance , said she was going through Leicester-place at night about 10 o ' clock , in company with another young girl , when the defendant and two other

      persons passed her , in doing which the defendant put his arm round the neck of her companion and said something to her . She pushed the defendant from the girl , and told him to go on . She walked a little way , and the defendant followed and gave her a blow on the mouth , which cut her lips through and loosened several of her teeth . She called " Police ! " and before the police came up the defendant ' s friends wished her to let the defendant make it all right with her . She refused , and gave the defendant into custody . She bled very much , and was obliged to have her lips strapped up . He was fined £ 5 , or two months imprisonment .

      Important to Inventors . —At Guildhall , Messrs . Rogers and De Costa , commission agents , of Hutchinson Avenue , Petticoatlane , appeared to an . information wherein they were charged with making or causing t <» be made , for the purposes of sale , a fraudulent imitation of an original design for an alarm door and window wedge , of which Mr . William Adolplrus Biddell , brasslounaer , of 33 , GreatSutton-street Clerkenwell , was the registered proprietor . The registered design consisted of a brass plate about three inches long and one broad , raised at one end by a pronged foot , and covered ba wed-shaped that

      y ge cap , so by inserting a detonating ball between tlie plate and the cap , and placing the so-charged wedge at the bottom of the door or behind the sash fine of the window , any attempt to open either would be attended with an immediate explosion , loud enough to alarm a whole household , according to the number of detonators placed in the wedge ; after which the pronged foot , being forced by the pressure causing the explosion into the floor or window tiarae , would prevent the opening of eitherand in itself

      , prove an effectual protection from burglars . —Alderman Moon said he was of opinion that the defendants had not only fraudulently imitated the design in question , but had also improperly used the word " patent" on their wedge , in order to evade the penalties of stamping an unregistered article as " registered . " He therefore , as only one convictiou was sought for , should fine ttogers— -the partnership between him and De Costa not being proved— £ 5 , and in addition award 10 s . for costs .

      Suicide from London-bridge . —On "Wednesday night , at half-past eight o ' clock , a determined suicide took place by a man jumping from London-bridge into the Thames . A respectablyattired man , and apparently about forty years of age , was observed walk to and fro on the west side of the bridge , and wheu near the recess in the centre of the bridge he leaped on the seat , and , taking off his hat , looked round and threw it into the river , and immediately precipitated himself over the parapet . A passer-by , observing the man in the act , ran to him , but only in time to touch his coat , without being able to obtain a tight hold .

      An alarm was instantly given , and the drags put into requisition , but without success , as the tide was running down very rapidly . Manslaughter by an Engineer . —Bristol , Oct . 1 . —All inquest was held this week at the Ring of Bells public-house , Coalpit-heath , near this city , by the coroner , Mr . W . Joyner Ellis , on the body of Joseph Lawrence , a coal miner in the employ of the Coalpit-heath Company , and who met his death at the Eamshill Colliery on Monday last under the following circumstances : —It appears that on the morning of that clay the deceased went to his work as usual , and was engaged for a

      considerable period in what is termed the " lower vein . " He gave the usual signal for ascending , which was passed in the accustomed manner by the banksman to the engineer , Isachar Dando , who at once set the engine in motion for the purpose of hauling up the cart . The cart had ascended about half way when it happened that a drover came along the roadside by the colliery with a pig , which had been purchased for Dando at Westerleigh fair , and he , wishing to look at it , without waiting to complete the task of hauling up the cart , gave over the engine handles to his son , Moses Dando , a lad 18 years of age , who , it is said ,

      had been in the habit of hauling up the cart on several previous occasions . This time , however , he must have mistaken the reversing ' handles , for after the cart containing the deceased came to the pit ' s mouth , the speed of the engine was increased instead of decreased , and the deceased was drawn over the shiver wheel and precipitated with the cart to a distance of more than 50 yards , receiving such severe injuries that he died shortly afterwards . The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the engineer , Isacher Dando , who was taken into custody and committed for trial on the coroner ' s warrant .

      Smuggling in the Highlands . —On Monday , the 20 th of September , Mr . Otty , accompanied by Mv . Macfarline and two preventive meu , discovered in the hills of Dalriach , of Glen-Urquhart , a smuggling bothy , situated in the bottom of a deep ravine , surrouuded with rugged rocks and water-fails . There were four men in the hut at the time , which was very well concealed . Two of the smugglors were captured , but one of them ,

      a strong athletic mountaineer , after a severe struggle of about an hour ' s duration , baffled the efforts of the officers to take him along with them , as he would neither walk nor stand ; the other was taken before General Cameron , of Polmailie , who convicted him in the statutory penalty of £ 30 , or three months' imprisonment . The fine not having been paid , he is undergoing imprisonment in Inverness Gaol . —Edinburgh Advertiser ,

      Committal of a Notorious Burglar . —A notorious burglar , named Moggs , one of a gang of desperate ruffians who have long infested the neighbourhood of Frome , and who , after eluding justice for a long period , was recently captured through . the activity of Newport , one of the Frome constables , has been fully committed for trial by the ^ Frorne magistrates on two distinct charges . On the premises of the prisoner being searched , there were found on them no less than seven bags of skeleton keys , containing 130 altogether . They were concealed in a floor under . the loft , and lying by them was a pair of knitted socks , such as housebreakers wear over their shoes to prevent noise ; they were wet , and the fresh grass upon them clearly showed that they had been recently worn . The occurrence created

      considerable excitement in the town of Frome , and the streets were lined with people , in the same manner as when the prisoner with his companions Hurd and Sparrow were in custody on suspicion of being the murderers of the girl Watts , at Key ford . The prisoner appeared much dejected . The evidence given against him was similar to that upon which Sparrow and Hurd have already been transported . In the case of the robbery of Mr . Plaister ' s warehouse , it was proved that a man named White , who was watching his garden to prevent depredations on the

      night of the 12 th of June last , saw the prisoner and Sparrow get over a wall , and go to the door of the warehouse . White ran and got the assistance of three other men , and on returning caught the prisoner Maggs and Sparrow coining out laden with a bag containing cheese ; a struggle ensued , but though the goods were captured , the thieves succeeded in getting away . Two caps belonging to the prisoner and Sparrow were also found ; they were so made as to form a disguise for the face The prisoner was fully committed for trial , and this formidable gang is now broken up . ¦¦

      Destruction of the Ship Maise . — -The Maise was laden with Indian com from Ibral for Cork or Falmouth for orders , and on her passage home was , on the 3 rd of August , by log 30 miles to the N . and W . of Cape Bon . In the evening it was the mate ' s watch , and , the heavens having become overcast , towards ten-o ' clock he commenced to shorten sail , and make all snug . The clouds still lowering , the master got out of bed , and

      about midnight was on deck with the rest of the crew . It came on a dreadful storm of thunder and lightning ; and while they were employed on deck , and , the master states before any one had time to say " God help us ! " a ball of fire came out of the heavens , struck the masts of the vessel , and in a moment capsized her . The master computes that in three minutes she went down ; and there was nothing left on the surface of the

      water but the spars floating about . The principle part of the crew must have been killed by the electric fluid , as the master , after narrowly escaping death on being sucked down by the vessel , did not , when he came to . the surface , see any of them with the exception of William Murray , a sailor lad . The master got hold of two oars , a rigger ten feet long , and a studdingsail-yard , with which he made a raft as best he could ; and , having secured the poor lad Murray , they floated away to sea . Their sufferings were intense during the night , as they were ^ partially immersed in water , and the oars and spars chafed their bodies , abrading the skinand

      pro-, ducing a great " raw . " The sufferings when the sea got up were increased by the sun ' s rays striking their bare heads . The master , the stronger person , cheered up the boy , who seemed towards 12 o ' clock at noon to give way . His bowels then appeared to obtrude , the muscles of the abdomen having been chafed through , and he was suffering the most intense agony . Having stood out bravely so long he at last began to sink . He said , " Good by , master . God help my poor mother : " and was

      lost totlie master ' s sight . Having drifted about till 5 p . m of the 4 th , the position of the master was descried by the master and crew of the bark Peter Schroeder , of North Bergen , who bore down to Mm , and got him on board in a most exhausted condition . He was treated with the greatest kindness , and having been onboard of that vessel five days , was transferred to the Donna , of Newcastle , and brought b y her to Queenstown , and thence sent on to Shields .

      POLAND . In Posen on the 25 tk there were five new cases of cholera , and three deaths . ' In Buk the epidemic has ceased , after sweeping off 105 persons of the 170 attacked . In Elbing , for the last few days , only isolated cases have occurred ; in the district also there is a decrease . In Ortelshurg , Konigsberg , and Brannstmrg the disease still prevails , but with abated force ; during the month from the 25 th of August to the 25 th of September the mortality in all these three towns lias been above 50 per cent , of the parties attacked by the disease . From the general tenour of the last reports , it is hoped the epidemic has exhausted its strength for the present season .

      At Ostrowa , in the Duchy of Posen , four criminals were beheaded on the 24 th , in the court-yard of the prison . They had been comdemned for murder . The death-warrant having been read to them , they were taken separately to the block , all traces of each execution being removed before another was led out . In 20 minutes the executioner had severed the four heads , each with a single blow of the axe—a dexterity landed by the journals , as it presents a striking contrast to a scene which took place recently at Dresden , where the instrument was the sword . At Ostrowa the execution was , according to the Prussian law , in private .
