" STAR OF FREEDOM" OFFICE , Saturday Morning , 12 o' Clock .
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 .
LOMBARDY . 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 Amo 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 ininhabitants , which they soon reached , washed away walls and out-houses , penetrated 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 mul ¦ itucle oi the smaller domestic animals were drowned . Four new bridges built over the mountain stream of the Arno were carried off , as was also an old aud solid one on the Strona , which had resisted many a feai-ful 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 Julv , 1732 .
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . 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 th 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 lie 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 leno-th 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 tiie 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 drovers 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 which 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 . Parry ; said that , after what had fallen from the prisoner , 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 , fox a similar purpose . He had also
£ 125 from another person , named Puddy ; 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 hz imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two years . Defkatjimxg 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 ths 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 lias entailed a very severe loss upon a number of poor people , and 1 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 wiil operate as a warning in future . The sentence , therefore , upon you and each of you , will be that you be severally transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years . The defendants left * the bar without miking any observation .
hKiTTLE Sharping .-Samuel Ridgeley , 42 , John Malony , 21 , and George Collins , 36 , were indicted for misdemeanour in having unlawfully obtained from Daniel Barker , the sum of £ 8 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 h §
power to break up tne gang ot scoundrels that infested the streets 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 tv \ o defendants he ordered to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one year .

POLICE . The Defrauded Emigrants . —At the Mansion House , the poor emigrants who were plundered by Tripe and Montague , the conductors of the Australian Emigration and Gold Mining Company , appeared upon the subject of the public subscription for their benent . —Sir li . 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 lor 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 lie would most readily take charge of the letter which Sir llobcrt Garden intended to write to the commissioners , who , he said , were very deeply impressed with the public obligations due to the alderman lor what had been done for the service of the vast emigrating masses of the kingdom , by the vigorous prosecution of tiie one case which had been just decided . After some further conveisation , thoy retired , expressing boundless thauks for the warm interest which bad been taken in their affairs .
The Omnibus Nuisance . —The proprietors and drivers of a considerable number of omnibuses running along the Tottenhatu-Court-road to and irom Caniden-town were summoned before Mr . Henry for obstructing the highway by loitering , &c . —After some discussion Mr . Henry directed inspector Jboxail to station constables along the road during the whole of next week , to take the number of every omnibus that stopped unnecessarily or loi . erod 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 ente . tained by the nearest relatives of Mr . Albert { Smith that he and his brother are both . wel-iii JSvvitaer - land , without having met with any accident whatever , save the loss of a pocket-book , with a considerable sum of money which it contained . Gektlejiax Drowned in the Serpentine . —On Thursday morning iniormation was sent to Mr . Langham , the deputycoroner , of the death of Mr . Stevens , of Baynhiuu-&t _ eet , Camden-town , under the following circumstances : —Mr . btevens
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 for 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 m . Some gentlemen who were in Kensington-gardens saw him standing up in the boat , and apparently pushing it irom the side of the loriuge , when he
went Head first into the water . Several persons called out " Hoy , hoy , " instead of " Boat . " Parsons , one of the Humane Society ' s men , heard the noise , but couicl not see whero the sound came from , as the bridge intervened ; but , as the cry was repeated , several boats went to the spot , and in about ten minutes Wincoute , 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 Inn , before Alexander Cuthbertson , Esq ., touching the death of Thomas Thomas , labourer , aged 49 , who was unfortunately deprived of iite under circumstances singularly painful and horrifying . From the evidence adduced beiore 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 theJViaesteg iron Works , and was engaged in tilling Llack band in a calcined state from a ' * clamp , " preparatory to its being conveyed to the blast furnaces . The two men had
j list completed the proc . ss of u driving the piles , " a kind of massive iron wedge , down into the clamps by means of sledge hammers , for the purpose oi separating tiie molten ore , and were , at the moment ot 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 tiie lump which had just separated from
it . bulhvan 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 sJedge , 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 halt-past 8 o ' clock , and was quickly followed by a second shock , accompanied by a very loud rushing noise , not unlike that winch usually accompanies the first buisfc 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 irom the northward to the southward . Tne third shock was felt at 9 o ! ock , but so slight was it , that we did not experience the effect of it . —Jamaica Paper .
Tiiii Banditti oi ? the Nobtheigi CouKTiES . —It will be a source of great satisfaction to the public to learn that the formidable baud of robbers who committed some of the most daring robberies lately known in this country about three o- ; four weeks . ago is likely to be completely b roken up , if the whole of the desperadoes are not brought io justice . The robberies to which we allude are those at Didsbury , Mirfield , 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
Mirficld and Bolton robberies . Iu feet , from his statement part of the silver plate stolen iron Mr . dough , 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 has in custody a third robber of the same gang , named Redman ! each of these men has 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 .
