FEOCK - On Tuesday last, a more than usually large company was assembled at Porthgwidden, near Truro, the residence of the Rev. THOMAS PHILLPOTTS, to celebrate the marriage of that gentleman's daughter with the son of WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Esq., of Tregullow. The bride and bridegroom were met at the entrance of the church by the whole of the children belonging to the parochial school, and triumphal arches were erected, salutes fired, and flags and banners displayed, both at the churchtown and at Devoran, and from the vessels lying in that port. A large party breakfasted at Porthgwidden, and shortly after the happy couple left for London. In the evening a ball and supper took place, when about 150 ladies and gentlemen were present. The band of H.M.S. "Eagle" performed throughout the evening a selection of dance music and the festivities were kept up till nearly daybreak. ECCLESIASTICAL - The Bishop of Exeter has collated the Rev. SACKVILLE U. B. LEE, M.A., rector of All Hallows-on-the-Wall, to a prebendal stall in Exeter Cathedral. RE-OPENING OF GULVAL CHURCH - This fine old parish church has undergone an extensive and complete restoration and improvement. It is now a beautiful church, the alterations having been first suggested by the vicar, the Rev. W. W. Wingfield, who headed the subscription list with a sum of GBP100, and a like amount was subscribed by Mr. RICHARD FOSTER BOLITHO. Liberal sums were contributed by many other friends, until the amount exceeded GBP500. The architect of the work was Mr. Wyatt, of London. The contract was taken by Messrs. CARAH and EDWARDS of Crowan, and the staining was committed to Mr. GLASSON, of Truro. The names of Mrs. WINGFIELD, Mr. R. F. BOLITHO, and Mr. P. GRENFELL must be recorded among those who have taken a lively interest in this good work. The church was re-opened for Divine worship on the 13th instant, when there was a good attendance, and the prayers, lessons, and litany were most impressively read by the Rev. M. GUERITZ, curate of St. Mary's, Penzance. The sermon in aid of the Church Repair Fund, was preached by the Rev. G. HADOW, Vicar of St. Just. His eloquent discourse was listened to with marked attention, and at its close the Rev. W. W. WINGFIELD impressively read the sentences of the Offertory. The collection amounted to GBP42. COLLEGE OF DENTISTS - On the 5th instant, Mr. WM. R. TUCK, of Camborne, was elected member of the College of Dentists of England. AWARD OF BOARD OF TRADE MEDAL - It affords us much pleasure to announce that the Board of Trade, on representations made to them by Messrs. BROAD and Sons, Mr. SWATMAN, collector of customs, and Lieutenant POOLEY, R.N., have awarded the sum of GBP20 and a silver medal to JOSEPH TREGOSE, seaman, of Falmouth, for his gallant and humane conduct, at great personal risk and daring, in saving the crew of the English Barque "Walton Muncaster," of Whitehaven, wrecked at Chaneral, on the coast of Chili, in June last, whilst employed as seaman on board the ship "Denis Brundrit," of Liverpool. We understand that Tregose, for his especial merit and exertions, has been awarded on this occasion the highest sum given to the crew of the "Denis Brundrit," by their lordships, who in their minute have highly eulogised and complimented his conduct. SHIPPING CASUALTY - On Monday, the brigantine "Naomi," of St. John's N.B., JAMES EDWARD MORRIS, master, with a cargo of coal and bricks, from Newcastle for Salem, United States, was brought into Penzance Pier in a very leaky and distressed state, and with part of cargo thrown overboard, having bore up on Sunday, the 10th instant, from lat. 48.43 N., and long. 14.51 W., consequent on her extreme leaky state, and also having on Sunday, the 17th instant, struck at four a.m. in thick weather on a ledge of rocks in Porth Curnow Cove, where she was hove off and towed up to Penzance Pier by the "Duke of Buccleugh" steam tug. THE LATE MR. BOLITHO - The funeral of Mr. BOLITHO took place on Monday morning last. Business in Penzance was every where either partially or wholly suspended, the shipping and the various flag-staffs in the town had their colours half-mast high, and a throng of every grade and religious denomination beset the Coombe and its approaches. The funeral procession, with hearse and carriages, reached Gulval Churchyard soon after eleven o'clock. The undertakers led the way, and were followed by about seventy of the workmen employed by the firm of Messrs. THOMAS BOLITHO and SONS, and by from 150 to 200 of the gentry, clergy, and inhabitants of the neighbourhood, including the Mayor, Aldermen, and councillors of Penzance, the most respectable tradesmen and residents of the town, and gentlemen from the Land's End, St. Just, Marazion, Hayle, &c. The numerous clerks attached to the establishment founded by the deceased or his relations, came next, and then the coffin - borne by eight of the oldest workmen in the late Mr. Bolitho's employ: the coffin was plainly covered with black cloth, and had a silver breast-plate, on which was simply engraved the name, age, and day of death of deceased. Mr. Bolitho's numerous sons and daughters, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, grand children, senior clerks, and a long retinue of servants followed their father and friend; and many a moistened eye, in the procession and among the respectful mourners who thickly lined the approaches to the Church, testified silently but eloquently to the loss all have sustained, and to the heartfelt sorrow that loss has occasioned. The procession was met by the Revs. W. W. WINGFIELD and P. HEDGELAND, and solemnly beautiful service for the burial of the dead was read by them. BODMIN COUNTY COURT - Re. RICH - This petition for protection was dismissed; his Honor considering Rich a trader with debts exceeding GBP300, and consequently not entitled to the benefit of the protection statutes. KNIGHT v. THOMAS - This was an action brought by Mr. Knight, timber merchant, of Lostwithiel, against Mr. MATTHEW THOMAS, a cattle dealer, for recovery of the sum of GBP1, deficiency and loss in value of a cow which plaintiff had purchased of defendant under warrant to be free from, but now proved to be in calf. Mr. Knight proved the purchase and produced a receipt given and signed by Thomas for GBP12, the price, with the words "free from calf" written under his name. On the receipt being handed to Thomas, he admitted the handwriting, and defended himself by observing that the words "free from calf" were intended to mean "that the cow had not then a calf by her side." On this remark his Honor immediately gave a verdict for the plaintiff, censuring Thomas for his conduct as trifling with the court. FALMOUTH COUNTY COURT - BEAVER v. DAVIDGE - This action was brought to recover GBP4. 10s., being a balance for board and lodging supplied to FRANCIS STEPHENS, an apprentice, whose father was living at Plymouth. Mr MOORMAN for plaintiff, and Mr. TILLY for defendant. It appeared that defendant took lodgings at plaintiff's for the apprentice, as alleged, on his own responsibility, who, from time to time, paid money on account for the same. Mr. Tilly contended that defendant merely acted as the agent of the apprentice's father, who, he considered, ought to be the real defendant. His Honor adjourned the case to the next court. TRUSCOTT v. DARBY. This action was brought to recover the sum of GBP2 for damages, for the unlawful detention of THOMAS WHITELOCK, he being the lawful apprentice of plaintiff, who formerly carried on business of a shipwright at Falmouth, and subsequently removed to St. Mawes, after which the apprentice obtained employment of DARBY, the defendant. The case was left to Mr. JOHN TRETHOWAN, a shipwright at Falmouth, who awarded that plaintiff was entitled to the services of the apprentice, and that he should allow him 2s. 6d. per week extra wages in consideration of the master removing to St. Mawes, and which sum was to be continued to be paid the apprentice until the expiration of his apprenticeship, to meet the extra expense he would be subject to in consequence of his having to remove from Falmouth to St. Mawes. TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, before the Mayor Dr. BARHAM, Mr. CHAPPEL, and Mr. PADDON, magistrates, REBECCA ARTHUR was charged with stealing from the pocket of WILLIAM ANGOVE, miner, of Redruth, a silver watch and guard chain, value 30s. On Saturday evening between eight and nine o'clock, Angove and another miner, called RICHARD JONES, were in the Golden Lion Inn, Calenick Street, where they had several pints of beer. Angove went asleep with his head on the table, Jones sitting on the other side. The woman Arthur came and sat by the side of Angove, and in a moment slipped the chain over his neck, took the watch from his pocket, and started out of the house. Jones, seeing the robbery committed, awakened Angove, and they went into the street to look for the woman, but could not find her, and gave information to police constable GAY, who after some search went to her mother's house on Castle Hill, and found her in a room up-stairs. He charged her with robbing the man, which she denied; but he then saw her put something on the floor, and on picking it up he found it was the watch and chain. He took her to the police station. She pleaded guilty to the charge, and wished the magistrates to dispose of the case summarily. They committed her to prison for twenty-one days with hard labour. The same woman has been several times before in Bodmin gaol as a disorderly character. She had not been in company with Angove before robbing him. PEGGY SOPER and MARY BULLEN, single women, living in Charles Street, were charged with stealing a towel, two pillow-cases, a table-cloth, plate, piece of mutton, coal, firewood, and a man's boot, the property of RICHARD SCOBELL, an invalid living in Calenick Street. Scobell and his wife are bed-liers; the woman is subject to fits, and the old man cannot get out of bed without assistance. Mary Bullen was engaged from Friday last to look after them. Peggy Soper lived with Bullen, and about an hour and a half after midnight on Saturday, Soper went to Scobell's house, where Bullen was. Soper had no business there, and a neighbour of Scobell's, called WRIGHT, having suspicion that something was wrong, looked into Scobell's window, and saw Soper and Bullen packing up various things. Soper afterwards left the house with a bundle. Mr. Wright gave information to Sergeant WOOLCOCK and police-constable GAY, who happened to be passing at the time. Both women were taken into custody; they pleaded guilty, and wished the magistrates to dispose of the case. Each was sentenced to twenty-one days' hard labour, under the summary jurisdiction act. FALMOUTH POLICE - On the 14th instant, before Mr. MOORMAN, mayor, and Mr. BROARD, and Mr. BLIGHT, magistrates, six women were summoned for keeping disorderly houses. MARY M. FIGGINS was fined GBP3. 0. 6d., including costs, or six weeks' imprisonment. ELIZA THOMAS was fined 30s. and costs, or six weeks' imprisonment. JULIA HELLINGS, 30s. and costs, or six weeks' imprisonment; and AMELIA PEARCE and MARY ANN DAVIES were fined in the same amount. The Mayor said great credit was due to the police for reporting these cases. PETTY SESSIONS AT TRURO - At the petty sessions held on Thursday, the 14th instant, before the Rev. T. PHILLPOTTS (chairman), Dr. CARLYON, and Mr. EDWARD COLLINS, magistrates, JOHN WARNE, beer-house-keeper, at Chacewater, was summoned on the information of Superintendent JARRETT, for keeping his house open for the sale of beer until half past one o'clock in the morning of the 27th of December. He pleaded guilty, and was fined GBP1 and expenses. CHRISTIANA RUTTER and JOSEPH HUGO, of Malpas and RICHARD WILLIAM DREW, of St. Clement's Churchtown, licensed victuallers, were charged by Superintendent JARRETT with keeping their houses open for the sale of beer and spirits between the hours of three and five o'clock on Sunday, the 11th instant. Dependants pleaded guilty, and were each fined GBP2 and costs. The Chairman inquired of Superintendent Jarrett the character of these public-houses, and stated that the bench were determined, in similar cases in future, to inflict the highest penalties. Superintendent Jarrett applied for a moiety of the penalties, which sums are appropriated to the police superannuation fund. The Chairman stated that all charges for summonses and other expenses are returnable to the chief constable, and are applied in aid of the county rates; the county police, therefore, have no motive to increase costs in any case, as such costs are not applicable to their own benefit. A beer-house-keeper called CROKER, at Ladock, was summoned on the information of the parish constable, for keeping his house open for the sale of beer at an illegal hour on the night of the 19th ult., for which he was fined GBP1 and expenses. CAMBORNE PETTY SESSIONS - These sessions were held on the 12th inst., before Mr. J. P. MAGOR (chairman), Mr. R. DAVEY, M.P.;, and Mr. C. A. REYNOLDS. WILLIAM TYACK, of Camborne, innkeeper, was summoned by Superintendent MILLER on two separate informations for keeping his house open on Christmas-day at 1 a.m. in the morning, and also between 11 and 12 p.m. at night. In the first case it was proved that two of the persons in the house drinking were the coachman and a passenger just arrived by the Exeter coach, and the case was dismissed; but to the second charge Mr. Tyack pleaded guilty, and it being the second time of his appearing before the bench, he was fined GBP5. WILLIAM REYNOLDS, of Camborne, innkeeper, was summoned by the same officer for keeping his house open between the hours of 3 and 5 p.m. on Christmas-day, and convicted in the penalty of GBP3 and costs. JABEZ HUNTER, of Tuckingmill, SUSANNAH ABRAHAM, of the Beacon, both in the parish of Camborne, and HENRY EDDY, of Illogan, innkeepers, were convicted of a similar offence. Hunter and Eddy were fined GBP1 each and the expenses, and Mrs. Abraham GBP1 including costs. HENRY RICKARD, of the parish of Camborne, and WILLIAM PHILLIPS, of Illogan, beershop-keepers, were summoned for keeping their houses open after 11 o'clock at night; Rickard having appeared before the bench several times before, was fined GBP2 and costs, and Phillips GBP1 and costs. JOHN MITCHELL, EMANUEL POLGLAZE, HENRY POLGLAZE, THOMAS TROUNSON and WILLIAM JONES, all of the parish of St. Erth, and RICHARD JONES and RICHARD BRAY, of Redruth, were summoned by Superintendent MILLER for being drunk and disorderly, and each fined 5s. and costs. HENRY PASCOE, of Helston, appeared to a summons for leaving his horse and cart in the street at Marazion, without having any one to attend to the same; the case was proved by Police-constable [47?] and he was fined GBP2 including costs. THOMAS HICKS, of Lelan, appeared to a summons defended by Mr. DOWNING, charging him with assaulting RICHARD CARBUS by knocking him down and kicking him when on the ground, but the evidence on both sides being contradictory, the case was dismissed. STEPHEN RICHARDS, of Redruth, baker, appeared to a summons, defended by Mr. DOWNING, charging him with an assault upon Mr. JAMES J. EVA, of Camborne, baker. The assault being of an aggravated nature, the magistrates fined him in the full penalty of GBP5. ROBERT RING, of St. Erth, was fined GBP2 and costs, for assaulting NICHOLAS BLEWET, of the same place. JANE BUTLER, of Redruth, beershop-keeper, for having her house open after eleven o'clock at night, was fined in the mitigated penalty of 11s. and costs. STEALING HAY AND CORN - On Monday last, before the mayor and magistrates of Truro, EDWARD SANDERS, horse-keeper, St. Clement Street, Truro, was charged with stealing a quantity of hay, oats, and horse-beans, the property of Mr. ALFRED TEDDER, coach-proprietor, and a truss of hay, the property of Mr. HENRY PEARCE, of the Royal Hotel; and EDWARD CRAGO, carrier, St. Clement Street, was charged with receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen. It appears that Mr. Tedder rents an eight-stall stable in Mr. Pearce's yard, on the Royal Hotel premises, Lemon Street, besides having other stables near the gas works. Sanders was in Mr. Tedder's employ as a horse-keeper, and used to convey hay, &c., from the stables near the gas works to the Royal Hotel stable, for feeding the horses worked in the coaches. About a fortnight ago, Mr. NASH, police superintendent, received information which led him to believe that a system of plunder was being carried on; he communicated with Mr. Tedder, and from that time Mr. Nash and Sergeant WOOLCOCK have been on the alert to detect the thief. They had reason to believe that the stolen corn, &c., were carried to Crago's stable in Tabernacle street; and on Wednesday, last week, about four o'clock in the morning, Sergeant Woolcock went to Crago's stable to take samples of corn and beans from his bins, to compare with Mr. Tedder's corn and beans. One bin is in the stable, and another in a loft over it; the stable door was not locked at night, but the padlock was put together so as to appear locked. Sergeant Woolcock entered the stable, and went up to the loft to take a sample from the bin, when he heard footsteps approaching, and went to a window in the loft with the intention of jumping out on a dung-heap and getting away to avoid discovery. Before, however, he did so, the man had entered the stable and left it again, closing the door after him, and Sergeant Woolcock, on looking out at the window, saw that the man was Edward Sanders, Mr. Tedder's horse-keeper. The sergeant then went down into the stable, and saw there a truss of hay near Crago's horse, which was not there when he went up into the loft two minutes before. After this, watch was kept night by night, and on Saturday last the superintendent and sergeant were out the whole of the night. It was Sanders' duty to be at the stable in Lemon Street to get the horses ready for the early mail, about three in the morning, and afterwards to attend to the horses which bring the mail from Falmouth. Mr. Nash and Sergeant Woolcock stationed themselves this morning in a position whence they could see a person go into Crago's stable, and about five o'clock, Sanders came up Tabernacle Street with a truss of hay on his back, with which he entered the stable. The officers went in after him, turned on their lights, which frightened him greatly, and saw that he had placed the hay in an empty stall, Crago's horse being then in the stable. They took Sanders to the police station, and charged him with stealing the hay from Mr. Tedder. They then returned to Crago's stable, and found there a quantity of oats and beans, Indian corn broken in a mill was mixed with black oats and beans; the latter being a peculiar sort of white horse beans, and cut by a machine. On searching the loft over the stable, two other trusses and a half of hay were found, which belonged to Mr. Tedder (the truss brought there on the previous Wednesday having been marked by Sergeant Woolcock); and the truss brought there on the Sunday morning by Sanders, it was ascertained belonged to Mr. Pearce. After Sanders had been taken to the station on Sunday morning, Mr. Nash and Serjeant Woolcock went back to the stable in Mr. Pearce's yard, and found six gallons of black oats belonging to Mr. Pearce in a bag placed against the wall outside the stable door, as if intended for removal. The case was remanded till Tuesday, when Mr. Pearce's hind, JOSEPH BROKENSHIR, who bound the trusses of hay, identified the binding; there having been upwards of twenty of those binds found in Crago's stable. The mixture of oats, Indian corn, and beans in Crago's stable, corresponded with similar horse-food in Mr. Tedder's bin in his granary; in Crago's bin in his hayloft there were nearly fourteen gallons of the corn and beans. Sanders admitted before the magistrates that he took Mr. Pearce's hay and carried it to Crago's stable, but said he thought it was his master's hay. Crago said he bought the hay found in his stable of a man at Ladock, but he did not know his name. As to the corn and beans, Crago said he found a bag of it on Lemon quay, and took it to his stable and emptied it into the bin, to see if any one would come to own it; but he admitted having given some to his horse. Sanders was then committed to take his trial at the assizes for stealing the hay and corn; and Crago was committed for trial for feloniously receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen. Crago has since been admitted to bail, himself in GBP50, and two sureties in GBP50 each. STEALING FROM A MINE - On the 12th instant, WILLIAM RUSE, a marine-store dealer, at Callington, was taken into custody on suspicion of stealing brass. On Tuesday Ruse stated that he had bought the brass of HENRY PASCOE, pitman at Kelly Bray Mine; in consequence Pascoe was apprehended. On Wednesday these men were examined before the magistrates, when it appeared that Pascoe had sold 20lbs. of brass castings to Ruse for 5d. per lb. Ruse was set at liberty and bound over to appear against Pascoe, who was committed to Bodmin to take his trial. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT - On Monday last, whilst Mr. GURNEY HUGOE, of La Feock farm, near Truro, was superintending the threshing machine, a board on which he was standing gave way, and his leg becoming entangled between what is generally called the horse wheel and the pinion wheel, was so dreadfully shattered as to render amputation immediately necessary. This was promptly performed by Mr. SPRY, sided by Mr. LEVERTON, and Mr. BASSETT administered chloroform with the most satisfactory results. We are glad to hear that Mr. Hugoe is going on well. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON:- On Thursday, at Gwennap, on the body of ELIZA GEORGE, aged seven years, who caught her clothes on fire the previous Monday, while her parents were at chapel, and died from the injuries she received, on the following day. The jury blamed the father for leaving the deceased and a poor blind idiotic girl in the room by themselves, and he was reprimanded by the coroner. It appeared that the mother had left the house to go to chapel, leaving her husband in charge of the child; and the jury considered that under the circumstances, he ought to have remained at home with his daughter and her blind companion. Verdict, "accidental death. On Friday, at the Green Bank Hotel, Falmouth, on the body of ALFRED COPLIN, cabinet-maker, of that place, aged twenty-four years, who was killed by a gunshot wound on Thursday last, under the following circumstances:- From the evidence of WILLIAM HENRY BARAGWANA, aged fourteen years, it appeared that on Thursday morning the deceased gave him a shilling to buy some powder, shot, and caps, and said he was going out to shoot some small birds. After getting the ammunition and the gun, they met according to appointment at Jago's lane, on the outskirts of Falmouth. After blowing off the gun, the deceased loaded it and fired two or three times at small birds, but did not kill anything. They then rested together on a gate for a few minutes, and witness said, "I wonder if there are any birds in that ploughed field." Deceased told him to go and see, and if there were any, to call to him. Witness left for that purpose, and had not proceeded far, before he heard him jump down from the gate, and when witness got to the bottom of the field he heard the report of a gun; he returned to the spot to see if he had shot anything, and found him lying on his back, a few feet inside the gate near the hedge; the ramrod in his right hand, and the gun lying near his feet. Witness though he was dead, but called to him several times, and got no mouth-speech from him; he then became alarmed, and went away and got assistance. On his return he found him in the same position and quite dead. From this witness's account, it appeared that the deceased had been perfectly rational during all the time he was with him that morning, and he had observed nothing peculiar in his manner. The ramrod was three or four inches longer than the gun, and witness had been obliged to carry it until he left to see if there were any birds in the ploughed field. Mr. FREDERICK CHARLES BULLMORE deposed that he was fetched shortly after the occurrence and saw the body in the position described by last witness; the whole of the charge in the gun had entered his right ear, and after traversing the brain in an upward direction, it had passed out on the opposite side of the skull above the left ear. The nature and position of the wound were not inconsistent with its having been caused by an accidental discharge of the gun. The jury, after hearing this evidence, returned a verdict of "accidental death." On Tuesday last at St. Mewan, on the body of JANE SWEET, aged 51 years, who committed suicide by cutting her throat, on Monday last. It appeared she had been in a low, desponding state, fancying she was lost and that there was no pardon for her, for some days previous, that her husband had hired a widow woman called MARY JENKINS, to watch her during his absence at work; but by some means or other she contrived to conceal a knife which she took up from the breakfast table on Monday morning, and threw her handkerchief over her head and went up stairs, followed by Mary Jenkins, who on going towards the window saw the blood falling from her neck on a chest which was there; she immediately secured the knife and made an alarm, but the but the deceased had inflicted was completely across her neck, and very deep, and she survived only about ten minutes. From the traces of the blood across the room, it appeared she had inflicted the wound on entering the chamber, immediately she got to the top of the stairs. Verdict "Temporary Insanity." The following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner:- On the 16th instant, in the parish of Perranuthnoe, on the body of JAMES THOMAS, aged 59 years. The deceased was engine man at Wheal Guskus Mine, in the parish of St. Hilary, and went to his employment there on Thursday last in perfect health. He was seen several times in the course of the forenoon in the engine house, and was left there alone between the hours of one and two in the afternoon by WILLIAM PEARCE, apparently quite well, but in less than a quarter of an hour after, Pearce was called back to the engine-house, when he found the deceased resting his head on a table, and upon being asked what was the matter, he complained of great pain in his head. It was found that he was unable to walk or stand, and a cart was therefore procured to take him to his home at Goldsithney, which was done without delay. He was speechless and apparently senseless when brought to his house, and expired shortly after. Verdict, "natural death." On Monday last, in the same parish, on the body of GEORGE HENRY BLIGHT, aged eight weeks. The deceased whose parents lived in Breage, was brought by his mother (who is in ill health) to the house of her parents at Trevalge, in St. Hilary, on the 5th instant, in the hope that change of air might be of service to her. The child slept with a servant in consequence of the mother being ill, and at six o'clock in the morning was found dead. It appeared by the evidence of the servant, that she had walked the room with the child for nearly an hour between four and five o'clock, when he went quiet, and she again returned to the bed, and they both, as she thought, fell asleep, and she did not wake again till her mistress called her. A post mortem examination was made by Mr. CONGDON, of Marazion, who stated the death to have arisen from suffocation from the child having accidentally lain on his mouth. Verdict accordingly. On the same day in the parish of Uny Lelant, on the body of ELIZABETH DUNSTONE HAWES, aged twelve months. Verdict "natural death."
