THE ADDRESS TO TIIE QUEEN ON PAROCHIAL EXTENSION. The following is n cops' of the address on parochial extension presented to her Slajesty by the Archbishop of 111 Canterbury on Monday, the 11th rest. : "To THE trim's MUM EteItLLENT MAJESTY. " The bumble address of the undersigned Prelates, Lord* of your Majesty's Meet Honourable Privy Council, and others, menh i rs of the united church of England and Ireland, shewt th, "That in many parts of England and Wales, where the population ha.. outgrown the provisions originally made by the church for the religious inetruction of the people, there is an absolute and immediate necessity for an extension of the parochial system. "Great as the undertaking may be, and difficult as it may seem, to make the parochial and ecclesiastical mem adequate to the exigencies of the times, the church, it Is believed, poesewes in her temporalities, and in the wealth and liberality of her members, resources sufficient, if pro- perly drawn out and applied, to afford spiritual instruction to the whole of the nation, insomuch, that in • few years there need be no sheep without a fold, nor any fold with out a shepherd.' "It has been ascertained by ' your Mejeety'. Commis sioner" appointed to inoia.re into the practicability and mode of subdividing all d. nowly-peopled parishes in Eng land and Welts, that there is • pressing demand fur the erection of 6.10 new churches, which should, in most cases. have parishes assigned to them, and these. of course, involve the appointment of one clergyman at least to each; 600 additional ehunhes, therefore, with as many clergymen attached to them, is the tied great want towards nuderiog effective our parodied system. It is estimated by your Majesty's COITIMiSsiOiterS that these churches would cost, on an average, 3,..10f11. each, if built in that simple eccle siastical style, both internally and externally, which suits the dignified siniplicity of our retermiel worship—the total coot of those 600 sacred edifices would therefore amount to 2,100,0001. The ematuiesieners are of opinion, that it a sum of about one million sterling could be supplied from some general fund, heel sub eriptimes and the liberality of churchmen (as experience hitherto has shown) would supply the rest. " Amen, to provide every clergyman with a stipend of 2001. per unmn, would require an income of 120,0110/., and to endow every church with 50/. ii-year more, for the mein tenauce of the fabric, would require an additional yearly sum of 30,000/.; 1.10,010.11 "-year, therefore, must he pro yeled for the "union of the till new churches, and their officiating ministers; but further, it would he desirable in all ewe", and in some neteeetry, to attach residences, or poreopage-houses, to the new parishes.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1861 THE ROBBERY AT THE WALTHAM ABBEY 00VERNMENT POWDER WORKS. APRIL 22. The four men charged with being concerned in the dazing robbery effected on the night of the Bth inst., at she storekeeper's office of the Royal Powder Works, near this town, were brought up for re-examination this day, before the bench of magistrates, who on this occasion sat in the newly erected County Court The prisoners answered to their names as George Rowe, Jah Cornish, Charles Eve, and Jesse Griffiths. The first dinned, it has been already stated, is the keeper of a public lime, called the Three Compasses, in this town ; Curnish Mil lee have hitherto been employed on the government works, and Griffiths is described as an itinerant The brief deposittins of Inspector Lund and Mr. Topping, Ste government store-keeper, the only two whiniest meamised at the previous bearing on Thursday last, hay* Mae- and over, Mr. Prentice briefly stated the ease for the prosecution,' and said that he proposed to charge Cornish and Eve with the robbery, Griffiths es an accessory before and Aar the fact, and Rowe with receiving the goods, knowles tlt to have been stolen. The first witness called was Mr. Henry Topping. He aid-1 am the storekeeper at the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Works. There is an irun chest in a closet adjoining my office. On the morning of the Bth instant, 1 placed in that chest eighteen 201. notes, and 961. its. 2d. in gold, silver, and copper moneys. 'There were nearly as many half-sovereigns as sovereigns in the gold money. There was, besidos,about IV. in gold and silver of my own money in the chest. The whole of the tuber money was the property of the Board of Ordnance. I left my office between ball-past 1 and hell past 2 o'clock on the bth. The money was safe then. I first heard of the robbery about half-past 6on the following morning. 1 found the office door open, and the chest pre senting all the appearance of having been forced open by gunpowder. The numbers of the stolen notes are from 96,364 to 96,379, and 74,311 and 74,311. William Lane was next called, and proceeded to make the following extraordinary statement-1 am a gun-smith employed at Enfield-luck, and reside at Waltham Abbey. I know the four prisoners. I remember being at Rowe's public-house on the evening after the robbery, about eight o'clock. Griffiths was there when I went in. He called me out of the tap-room, and we went together outside of the door into the yard. Ile said, " Bill, I sup pose you have beard of what was done last night " What ?" 1 said. lie replied, "The robbery at the Pow der Mills." I said, " Yes." lie said, " Coruish and Eve are the two that dune it." I said, "How do you know 1" lie replied, "1 fetched the thole from Frank Harvey's field, and gave them to Coinish." Frank Harvey's had is just below the Compasses. Griffiths added, " I had to he in it, but I was shoved nut of it." Wu returned into the house. Rowe was there. Ile said to me, " What has Jess been saying to you ?" I said, " Nothing." Ile then said, " What have you been saying to Jess.' I replied, " No thing." Rowe then, making use of an oath, said, " I will make you 111 right as myself if I get hold of the notes." I said, " Hold your tongue—you can tell me another time. Nothing else took place that night. Charles Colverd, Ed ward Speller, Charles Eve, and his brother, Joseph Eve, were present at the time. 1 can't say that these persons heard what Itie, sand to me. (iridium, I think, did. On the Thursday evening 1 again went to Itowe's house about 7or If o'clock. W nen I went in, Coruish and Rowe were in the tap-room by themselves. I was there about an hour ; nothing took place aural; that time, bat as I lett the house Howe miaowed me out end said, " Coruielt wants me to go to London and see a hat 1 can get fur the notes." lle said, .' 1 shall go up is the morning with King the horse-dealer." Ile told me there were eighteen 2111. notes. On the follow ing day - , 1 was at the Cutup:isnot from half-past 4t05. I SAW Rowe then. He said, " l have been to London, and 1 ran get Id/. for each of the 2111. notes, which will make 2701." Ile added, "1 have nut got the uotea yet, but I ex pect Cornish will come down with them to-night—he pro mised me he would." I stopped there till about eight o'clock. 1 then went out and said to Howe, "Ilse he been ?" Ile said, Yee, but he does not like to let me have the note', for fear I should stick to the lot." He witted that Cornish had said, " It would be a pretty thing if he 'duck to the lot, and did us all out of them." Rowe said that he had told Cornish that if he was afraid to let him have the whole of tie notes, to let him have half, and lie would get the mon •iy for them first. About ten o'clock on the same eight Rowe came to my house, and asked me to lend him my stiek. I asked him, " Have you got the note,. ?" lle said," Yes." Ile added, " I have a great mind to go tart° night. l shall get there before the y get to lied." On the SAlUrdly, about six o'clock in the evening, Rowe cause to niy house, and beckoned me out. Ile says, " Here's a pretty thing, I can only get rid of two of those notes. out of the It." I asked, " Why.'• lie said, `. B. - cause they had nut gut the banker's siguature ins them." I did nut understand what he meant. lie said lie hail got 30/. fur the two notes he had changed, and that he should stick to. lie told me lie mould return the other notes to Cornish. I hate seen Rowe since the Saturday. On the Tuesday following 1 was attacked by Joseph Eve in the market places for accusing him of being in the robbery. I asked I .` Who said so .1" Ile told rue John Cornish. I said I had out; I never knew nothing about it, and, of course, I could not say nothing. On 'Tuesday night I saw Rowe, and told him of these circumstances. Ile said, " Never mind what lie save; take no notice of it. If anybody asks you any thing about the rubbery, you know nothing about it." On the Sunday alter the rubbery 1 went into Rowe's tap-room Rowe was there, and souse other gentleman. (Laughter.) 1 said to Rowe, " Where is my shillelagh ?" lle called me on one side, and said, " Why don't you mind what you say—that is a detective police. ' Cross .examined by Mr. Wakeling—l first gave inform*. Con of the robbery can Wednesday last ; that was alter the reward had been offired. John Lund examined. Ile said-1 am au inspector of the detective police. In consequence of information received, I went to the prisoner Rowe's house on Thursday last. 1 got there clout half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. Ser geant ‘Vbicher, of tile detective force, accompanied me. I anerteined from Mrs. Rowe that her husband was in the back-yard. I went there, but not finding him, I went into a stable. I saw a ladder hauling up in'o a loft. I went up the ladder, and there saw the prisoner Rowe either lying or kneeling down. I could just see hie head wit. n 1 gut up the ladder. The hat was full of old meta and ruobish, cud there were mine haylimai ieing stout. I usaial hint if his none was Iliac. Ito replied " 1 told Lim I wanted him, and he immediately value down.

I then asked him if he had any more cash, and wished him to show me to his bedroom. Ile did so, and 'minting to drawer, said "Theta all the cash 1 have." There was wan silver and some copper monies there to a shall amount, with which I aid not interfere. We came down stairs again, and I then said to Ituwe, . nova you any money in the dolt where 1 found you ?" Rowe said, "It is not likely." I then told hint I should search every part of his place. Ile said, " You had better do so." I then went with Sergeant Windier to the loft, where a tin canister was found by the latter officer, containing 1001. in gold. The canister was handed to me, and I brought it down stairs, and counted its contents before the primmer. I told Rowe I had found it in the loft, and he told me he had placed it in the loft fur safety, his house having been attempted to be broken into a short time before. On the same day I took the prisoner Eve intocustody while at work at the powder mills. 1 watched his house about an hour afterwards, and found 101. in gold, of which 71. was in half-sovereigns. 71. 10s. was in one box in a back room, and 21. 10s. in a purse in another bus in the front room. 1 took Cornish into custody on the same day at the powder mills. Previously to apprehending him, 1 asked bon hail he seen Griffiths on the night of the rubbery ? lie said," Yes." I asked him what Griffiths had given him ? lie said, he gave me a chisel wrapped up in a handkerchief. I asked him what he had done with it ? Ile replied that he had thrown it into the river, don by the Baker's Eutrance, near the station. He mid that Griffith,' had given it to him to take care of, and directly he heard of the robbery he thre w it i n to the river. He added that he was standing at the prisoner Rowe's door, talking to a girl, when the chisel was giver, to hiw. I searehed Curnieh'e house immediately after his apprehen- I sion. I found there two sovereigns and three half-sove reigns, and 1:s. in silver. I took this money five% the prisoner's wife. Sergeant Wbirher corroborated Inspector Lund's tee timony, and said he found the tin canister containing the sovereigns in the loft, in a basket full of old iron cold other rubbish with which it was covered. The sove reigns had been put into a handkerchief and the hand kerchief into the canistee. The prisoner Rowe told witness, before he counted them, that the canister contained 100 sovereigns. After some other unimportant evidence, Mr. Prentice asked the bench to grant a remand. Mr. Parnell and the other legal gentlemen strove hard to get their respective clients admitted to bail, but the limelt unanimously refused the application, and decided on re manding the prisoners until Tuesday next, by which time, it is believed, other parties will be in custody.

I allude to the taking the ticlicts,s hich was dune by the guard while the train was in motion, with apparently the greatest ease to himself. In carrying this out I would suggest an addition to the carriages, to render them perfectly secure whilst performing this duty—via., that a brass or iron rod should be attached to each ear riage for him to hold on in passing from one to the other. Hoping you will insert these few words, as the above gave such general satisfaction to all the parties concerned, yours, &c., ANTHONY OIICSON, jlll.—Lloyd's, April 22.

THE FRINILEY GANG. LEWES, TUESDAY, APRIL 22. Since the committal of James Hamilton (the ma gistrates having refused to take his evidence on behalf of the crown), he has made a full confession of all the bur glaries which he and the gang have been engaged in during the but twelve swaths. The document is of • very extra inftegy enamor, and shows the immense amount of =possessed by these men. He has also made some ions to the police officers engaged in the case, by whieh they have been enabled to discover the receivers of the stolen property, but from obvious reasons we are pre- ' vented at present from mentioning their names. It is, however, believed, that sonic portion of the great amount of valuable property which has been stolen may yet be restored to the owners. ' Hamilton, in the commencement of his confession, states that the gang consisted of himself, Levi Harwood and Samuel Jones (hung for the murder of Mr. Holiest), Ilhunnel Harwood, John and Edward Isaacs, Wm. Brooks, Joseph Carter, John and James Jones, alias Smith, Hiram Smith, Thomas Toot, alias Morgan, William Hilyer, Jahn Brooks, Mary Crowder, Sarah White, and James Jones. John Isaacs was duly elected captain ; and all the ethers acted under his directions. They were all sworn to 'bey the orders of the captainany one attempted to out or refused to take part in any robbery or murder, tf aessesary, he or she was to be iustautly shot : and if any sae left the gang without the consent of the captain, be or Abe were to be followed, and, if overtaken, to be shot. After giving the particulars of the burglary at Kirdford, which has already been published, he goes on to say:— " The second day after this Isaacs and John Hones came to ste again at Farnham-common; and agreed for me to meet them at Dorking Homewood-commun. Isaacs' brother Ned came to me, also John Hones and James Hones. We all went to &sold man's house (a fanner, near Horsham). They heard he bad got a good deal of money. We all went, two at a time, from the Homewood. Six of us met in a wood near Mr. Broadwood's lodge, and when we went from there to the farmer's house, one got through the windows and let the rest in at the back door. We all went into the kitchen. The old man heard us, and balked out, and we all lett the house. Four of us, myself, W. Brooks, and J. and E. Isaacs, went down to a house on Ilayward's-heath, near the Brighton station, where two or three ladies, of the name of Kennard lived. This robbery was planned by William Brooks, who knew the place. There was a man-servant, who was ill s and a maid-aervant, who slept in the same room to watch 11cr bed was right against the window where the light was. The servant burnt a light all night Ihecause the man was ill. They found a long ladder, and put it up to this window. It was a sash window, which moved on one side. We all got in at the window. The female servant was lying into the to the window, and we fell over her. T he y went the ladica'room disguised with masks. Alter pacifying the two servants, they left me to mind them. The ladies room was locked, but they broke open the door. They collected all the property that was there. They threatened to blo w out the brains of the ladies if they . gave any alarm. We were there two hours, during which time I sat down in a chair with the two servants, and kept talkiug to them alllthe time. It WAS just getting daylight when we left the house. We tame back two at a time until we got to Copthorn. There we looked the property over, and shared what money there was. 41. res. each was shared. There we* a deal of foreign money, which I took to be French. 'lbis was put amongst the plate, and 11l guineas in gold, and that gold war put with the gold watches. There were two gold watches and three silver one. One gold watch had a gold face and steel hands, the other had a alike face. Of the silver watches two were sivall plain Ones, and the other was a hunting watch, w , th a silver chain. There was a double-barrelled gun taken from the house, and we hail two guns with us. There were a great many rings and brooches, and trinkets, which were put among the gold and plate, all of which John lerica took away to Guildford, to give to one of the Guildionl men (Levi Harwood) to go up to Lon on with hint to sell, for which the Guildford man was to have a share, as Isaacs did not then know where tog° and sell them. There a aaalso some clothing brought away, two pairs of trousers, one pair of cord breeches, tied a large shawl. These were all lint and lust, as the policeman came after it. The three guns were hid by the road side. My three companions all went together to London, and they gave me some money to take hack to their women at Copthorn-eouinie in, where we had four tents. About an hour after 1 had left the men and had returned to Copthorn-common, and was packing up my things, two policemen came along ; they knew Brooks's wife, and in , quireal for Brooks, and they came and asked me where I was going. I told them I did not know, as 1 was a stranger 'to the erountry. They warded the tents, but they did not search me, although I had the money ou me which 1 had I shared. This was the scone morning as the jobbery at Hayward's-heath. Whilst the earn were sharing the money the women hid the clothes, and that was why the police men did not find them. The policemen knew the women and watched them, and talked to them for half an hour. 1 then moved to is place called the Chesauta, by mpelf, and had one tent with me. J. leuies, wine afterward, came there. The two Brookses, end John Isaac', and myself had each one wife and one tent, and I had a little girl with my wile. John Isaacs was to meet me at the Chesnut , after lie had sold the property. Ile was gone a week or better. When he came back he said there was only 30a. each besides the guineas, of which he had only sold one with the other gold, to see what it would fetch, keeping the others back, so that the Guildford man should not have his share of them. Ile took the guineas again to sell, and gave me a sovereign down, on a premier to pay me the re mainder, but he did not give me any more money. There was a quarrel amongst us ,!sat a large quantity of plate, which some of thou maid Isaacs had concealed and bought his waggon with. shortly after this I fell in with Tom Brooks again, near Slieutield, in Sussex, and I and Ned Isaacs went back again with Brooks. We all three met in Wareham-lane, near Shenfield, and went from there to a place called Hambledon, Surrey, to break open a shop there. Brooks and Ned ISAAC. broke it open, whilst I watched in front. They got in, and took out two large whole cheeses, a quantity of tobacco, and a quantity of tea, about a pou nd weight of snuff, a loaf of bread, and a pound of new butter. They drank what wine they liked, and brought me out some in a quart-pot, and then tilled a three-quart bottle to bring away. We three returned back to Wareham-lane again, and I and Ned Isaacks did not meet John Isaacs at the time expected. We afterwards went to Cupthorn-commou for a few days. I think we stayed there a week. On the afternoon of Tuesday, the 31st of December last, we, James Hamilton, John Isaacs, Joseph Carter, alias Coektnan, John Smith, alias Hones, James Smith, alias Hones, Thomas Toot, alias Morgan, Wm. Hillyer, and William Brook., after various messages and communica tions between ourselves, I (Hamilton) and Brooks and his wife, and James Smith came on from Edenbridge to Crow borough The other five men whom we met at Edenbridge agreed to meet us at Groombridge, at a barn there just out side. These five men went to break open a public-house of Mr. Kennard's called The Old 'Tye. These five men met us out of Groombridge next morning, just about day light. Brooks went to look after them, and found them in the corner of the wood close to the road. They gave us a plum-cake, a bottle of wine, some whiskey, and tobacco done up in penny worths. I (Hamilton) had four, James Smith had four. The same three men and the woman went in again, ha agreed to meet the five men the same afternoon (W nesday) just off Crowborough-common, on the Uucktteld side. Three of us, Isaacs, Carter, and myself, went into Miss Farneombe's house, and got there between eight and nine o'clock, to lay in front of the house to see how many lights, and watch them to bed. We saw the butter fasten the front door. When the house was dark and (plot we were to go bask to some haystacks close by, whore we eight were to meet, until it was time to go back. We sE met at the haystack between the pay-gate and the hems on the opposite side to Miss Farucombe's. We all want te Miss Farncombe'l house, and as we were going we I•St • woman and either two or three men in the rmd. We Magi all eight together then. We had left Brooks's wife at bar' uncle's at Crowburough. There are two gates to Miss Fana combe's house—one for a foot road leading to the back door, and one the carriage road. We left James Smith just outside the little gate to watch. Some of us went down the big gate, leavia me (Hamilton) to watch there in case any one cam along the road, and to give notice if any one should. Three or four men came along soon afterwards. I watched them quite away, and did nut give any alarm to those in the house. In • little while two more men came along, and mused. I think they were game keepers. Just bethre they gut into the house, one of them came out to me and said, am going to stand near that little bush.' Thomas Morgan desired me to give hint notice if any one came, and he would let them know. When the two gamekeeper* came along, I went to tell Morgan, but did not find him, and aeon after he (Morgan) came to me and brought me a bottle of wine. Ile said they had got in, and were rummaging below. Morgan went back to the house, acid a little while afterwads he returned to me again, and he said ' They be all come out, and they thinkthey heard somebody.' They all came out up to this little gate, and there they all stripped and pulled off their clothes and shoes, and put on their masks, and said We will all go up.' We were all eight together there. I left the gate to meet them, and after talk ing about leaving some one outside, we all agreed to go into the house together. We all eight went in through the pantry window, but Morgan, who was first ready, run forward to the bowie, and got a light. We seven, seeing the light, thought there was somebody coming down. Isues, with an oath, said, ' Oh, come along— follow me. Give me the pistols, and 1 will go and fix him.' When we got to the house we found it was Morgan with the light. Then we all went in through the pantry window to the kitchen or front parlour, where we found the butler's' coats and some of the females' bonnets. Brooks put one of the bonnets on, and Carter put on another, and we put the butler's coats on, and 1 (Hamilton) put one on handed me by Morgan. We all searched about the house. We found the canisters. Four of us went up one pair of stairs, and four the other. Isaacs, John Smith, myself, and another, went up one staircase. In the first room we went into there were two ladies. Isaacs gave me the candle. I fol lowed him. There was no violence in that room. Isaacs broke open everything that was broken open, and I held ' the candle to him. Isaacs asked the ladies where the plate was. The ladies said, That is in the pantry down stairs.' Isaacs and the others took all the valuable things in ' that MOM. They went into another room, leasing me behind holding the candle. I did not take anything in that room. They left me there to mind the doors, and the ladies begged 'ofmeto go outside, for they would be still. I had a mash on j all that time. I went outside, holding the door in my hand. I never left the door but once all the time. The rest were rummaging about the house, and that was while they were going into another room, where there was, I believe, only one holy. I heard the lady ser.sim, and ask 'ls that you, William?' I said, 'Yea, it is William, mann; don't be frightened—nothing is the matter.' Carter was at the door with a pistol in his band, and when I made answer, ' It is William,' he turned round, and was going to shoot me, only 1 sung oat • It's all right.' Then I returned back to the door again to mind the two ladies, and there I remained till they were all ready to leave the house. Isaacs returned to the room where I was, and said' Take that little box under your arm.' The ladies before that begged that it might not be taken, because it belonged to their grandfather, I think they said. I took the box down stairs, and we all went away together. This was between four and five o'clock in the morning. When we came out we turned to the left, and went up the road. We all eight kept together until we came to Crowborough-commcm, nearly the saute road as we came. We turned off the main road at the to? of the hilt to the left, and went across the common and a wheat field and down into a wood, and there we all eight sat down and had some breakfast from what we had brought from the house, consisting of some hare, veal, roast matton, and, I think, some hog's meat, tome loaves of bread, two whole cheeses, and two raw hams. We all shared this after breakfaat, with a sovereign and 7s. each in money, but there was a deal more money smuggled amongst ourselves. I (Hamilton) had a 51. note also, which I got out of a pocket book which Isaacs gave me as we went along to carry, and put it into my pocket. There were a good many more notes in the book. I gave hint th 3 book, and Isaacs took out the notes and gave me the book again, because the others knew I had got the book. lie said he would give me half what he got for the notes. This was going along before our breakfast. After breakfast, and after sharing the money, we looked the plate over, and broke up what we thought was not silver. There were two gold watches and two silver ones. The two gold watches were along with the plate, and the silver plan which came (ruin the Old l'ye public-house was put along with it. The two silver watches were put up amongst us for those who would give most for them. Carter was the highest bidder, at eleven shillings for the small watch, and the other one, a double eased one, was taken by Morgan for twenty-five shillings. The trinkets were all tied up together, and put with the plate. Isaacs took all the plate, &c., in a flag basket. A cutlass was taken from the house, and a tree chopped with it. Hillyer took the cutlass. We stood in the wood until nearly ten o'clock in the morning. We parted at the wood that Thursday morning. I and James Smith and John Smith came away, and parted from the other five, who went another way, up through the wood. We agreed to meet at another place, and before Isaacs took the plate to London we were all eight to meet at Wallingham on the Friday night. Wethree went on to Groombridge, and John Smith was so tired that we could not get him along the road. We went into a public-house at Groombridge, where we had a good deal of beer. Wo three got tipsy. I dropped a sovereign, and John Smith picked it up and pat it into his pocket, and took a shilling out of the other pocket and offered it to me. I had him taken by the coo -1 stable. The sovereign I dropped was what was given me 1 1 in the wood. The constable took John Smith into custody apon my charge to Tonbridge Wells that Thursday idler ' noon. 1 slept at Oroombridge that night in the inn, and 111111 . .1 Smith was put into the stable. When I was tipsy the landlord took 18s. 641. from me to take care of. In the morning when I got up I asked the landlady for my money, which alto refused to give me until she had seen the con stable. I went to the constable and told him I would rather lose the sovereign and pay his expenses than go on with it. The constable told me the expenses to make it up would b. , a sovereign, and if so I thought I had better leave the 18s. 6d. in the landlady's hands, and get away as fast as 1 could, rather than go the Wells. I and Janes Smith started on the road for Ton bridge Wells, and then turned into a wood, and after we had got two miles half n dozen persons were after us and took us. At the beginning of all this I was living at Wukiag-common with my wife, and Hillyer lodged with me. About a week before Christmas a man named Thomas Oaiues came to me at Woking-common, with a message from Isaacs to send Hillyer after Tont Toot, alias Morgan, to Shotter's Mill, at Sartain.. Hillyer started away the day after Christmas day fur Toot, and was to re turn with Toot to my house on the Saturday; and Isaacs was to come himself by the first third-class train trout Reading to Woking, and I was to meet him. I met him there. Ile came to my house the same Saturday afternoon, expecting to find Hillyer and Toot that night. They . did not come. Isaacs stayed with me all Sunday night. Isaacs went alone on Sunday morning to Eilenbridge, and on the road met the two Honer (a/iva Smiths), and asked them to be of the party. Toot and Mayer were there be fore us. Brooks and Carter were there also. That made • eight.' It is estimated that the amount or property stolen by these mace during the lust two years cannot be less than 1,5001. When Isaacs was nperehended at Frome, Mr. Morten ' the superintendent of the Tunbridge Wells police, succeeded in tracing to the possession of the prisoner a valu able diamond ring, a gold chain, and a silver hunting watch, which were a portion of the property stolen from the Mimes Farncomb in D.rember hut. These articles were not on his person, but in the house where he was staying. Mr. Morten immediately seized th , m, and the friends of the prisoner forthwith applied to the County Court at Frome, and procured a summons, which has been served on Mr. Morten, for the amount of MAN., the alleged value of the articles. It will he seen from the statements here given that the band of buralars, known as "tae Frimley gang," is now completely broken up. Great credit is due to the pollee officers who have had the case in land; indeed, at the lust sittiivx of the magistrates the chairman of the bench pub licly stated that the whole ' credit of the capture of these daring men and the exposure of their system was due to Mr. Ifiddlecombe, the superintendent of the Surrey police. ATTEMPTED NICKDEtt.--On Monday night an at tempt was made in Mitchell-street, Glasgow, to cut the throats of two females who live in that street. Information having been despatched to the central poliec-office, officers repaired to the place, and the folios Mg filets resulted from their investigation:—Mrs. Douglas, a widow, rents the tenement in question, and lets out one of the apartments fur lodgers. A short time since a young man, named John l'urdon, a baker by trade, occupied the room , but his dis sipated habits were such that his landlady had to give him notice to quit, and for a day or two previous to the occur rence, he had lodged elsewhere. Mrs. Douglas, however, had missed a plaid which belonged to her, and suspecting that l'urdon had pledged it, she requested an interview with him last night, in order to ascertain if such was the ease. Penton came, but before he would answer any questions, insisted on being supplied with some to baan, which the woman, 8116011 R to get some inlOr motion about her missing prmwrty, procured fur him. After he had got it, he jeeringly told her that he knew noticing about the plaid, and immediately afterwards added, You have been troubling we ; how would you like if I trouble you." He had no sooner uttered the words than he rose from the seat where he had been sitting, and seizing hold of her, threw her across a chest that stood in the room. The unfortuuate woman recollected nothing further till she felt herself wounded in the throat and fingers, on which she screamed for assistance. A young WOllllll, a niece of the former, was in the kitchen at the time, and hearing the cries, ran into the room, and was caught by Purdun, who, with the weapon which he had previously used, inflicted two deep gashes on her throat and cheek. An old man, the father-in-law of Mrs. Douglas, who was sitting by the I kitchen tire, endeavoured to give the alarm, and with some difficulty tottered down stairs to call assistauce. In the meantime the miscreant, leaving both his intended victims lying bleeding on the floor, coolly returned to the kitchen and commenced smoking Isis pipe, in which position he was found by some of the neighbours. He made no attempt to escape, and quietly allowed himself to be taken to the police-office. With proper care and management it is hoped that both the injured women may me:oven—North British Mail.

SERIOUS ROBBERY FROM A HOTEL—A robbery of a serious nature has been committed this week at the 'Swan Hotel, Bridge-street, Bristol, the property carried of amounting in value to between 50/. and 100/. The robbery is believed to have been effected by a man named John O'Brien, who had formerly lived iu the house as boots, and who is now in custody, having been apprehended by Davis, an officer of the detective police. The property, which comprised a 20!. note and a 5/. note of the Bank of England, upwards of 20!. in gold, some loose silver, a watch, silver spoons, and some gold shirt studs, brooches, and trinkets, was stolen from a bureau in the bleeping apartment of Miss Grey, the landlord's daughter. It was seen quite safe by her on Friday morning, and on the evening of the same day the waiter of the hotel saw a man whom he has since recognised to be the prisoner O'Brien, come down the stairs leading to Miss Grey's room, which, it should be stated, is approached by some intricate passages, and could scarcely be found by any periods unacquainted with the house. The bed-room door was forcibly opened, and the bureau drawers unlocked by means of skeleton keys; and the man upon coming into the pasage was accosted by the waiter, who asked him where he was going ? to which he replied, lac seemingly careless and off-handed manlier ' " I amgoiug eat for a little while," and proceeded delibe rately to the street door. Not quite satisfied, the waiter communicated his suspicions to the boots, and subsequently to Mitt Grey, who, on going to her bed room, at once discovered that a robbery had been committed. Information of it was promptly given to the police, w hose suspicions ultimately tell upon O'Brien, who has been remanded for further examination. FATAL ACCIDENT AT TUE NATIONAL EXIIIBMON. —A workman yesterday, engaged with several others on the roof, fell backwards upon the glans, and the weight of his body forcing in the framework, he fell to the ground with such violence as to break several of his limbs. lie was immediately picked up, but life wan found to be quite extinct. This is the third fatal accident that has occurred at the Crystal Palace. EXTENSIVE FORGERY.— A morning paper says : " It was currently stated in the City yesterday that a forgery had been discovered at the Bank of England, to the extent of 10,0001., which had been effected through a power of attorney for the sale of stock purporting to have been given by parties resident at Windsor. Whether the above is the actual sum does not seem to ba precisely . known. AU the circumstances are at present under invesugation."

EXECUTION OF GEORGE CARNT AT EERY. Yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, George Carat, who was tried and convicted at the last assizes held at Bury of the murder of Elizabeth Bainbridge, u nderwent the extreme penalty of the law on the new drop erected on the top of the central archway leading to the interior of the prison. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the rain having never ceased through the night and the whole of the morning, groups at intervals of re : spectable-looking and well-dressed young females and men, many of them, it is to be regretted, being mere children, were seen wending their way towards the gaol. The attendance appeared to come from the surround ing villages, the railway trains not adding a single passen ger. Soon after seven the mob began to assemble, but vast numbers availed themselves of the neighbouring beer shops until near the time for taking up their stations ; the conti nued rain, no doubt, had the effect of keeping many away, as at no time could the spectators have exceeded 3 or 4,000 persons, and those dispersed in Nowhon-lane and in the high road and opposite fields. At seven o'clock the Rev. Mr. Wells visited the wretched culprit in his cell, when he found him in earnest prayer ; in fact, as the rev. gentleman says, he appeareslabsorbed in religious devotion, and wholly to have withdrawn himself from all worldly consideration. At a few minutes before nine o'clock all the arrangements for the execution having been completed, the culprit was 1 conducted to the drop supported by two turnkeys. The hangman having performed his dreadtul duty, the wretched man ceased to exist without a struggle. Atter hanging the usual time the body was cut down and will be interred in the gaol. Ile admitted to the chaplain the justice of the verdict and sentence. TIIE CONFESSION OF TIIE PRISONER. The subjoined narrative is, in substance, all that the pri soner has stated in reference to the unhappy end of his victim : On the afternoon of the 20th of January, between 3 and 4 o'clock, Elizabeth Bainbridge left the Harrow public-house. in Lawshall, to go to her father's, and he (Carnt) followed, and soon overtook her. They were together in the fields two or three hours, during which time they were on the usual tees of friendship and intimacy with each other. In the course of their walk the deceased and he exchanged love tokens, he giving to Bainbridge his watch, and she giving him her wedding-ring. This, the unhappy culprit said, was far from being an uncommon occurrence. She had often had his watch for U. week or fortnight together, and he her ring, and this interchange of pledges, or love tokens, used to take place as a sign of the intimacy subsisting between them. When he left the Harrow, no idea had ever crossed his mind of committing any act of violence towards the deceased, nor had any unpleasant words passed between them during their walking and ramiging about the fields. At length the deceased remarked that she was tired of living in the way they did, and, suddenly snatching a knife from the pri soner's waistcoat-pocket. declared she would destroy her self. This Carnt prevented by taking the knife away from her, when she exclaimed, evidently greatly excited, " Then do you cut my throat." At this time they were approach ing the pond, and the prisoner said, " No, if you mean to kill yourself, we will both do it together; we will both drown ourselves." Upon this suggestion the remorse and excitement of the deceased appear to have suddenly sub sided, and she exclaimed, " For God's sake, George, don't think or talk any more in this way ; tell think no more of it if you don't. and I will continue the acquaintance as it has been, and du all I can to please you, if you pro mise not to drown yourself." And now, the primmer said, the thought lirst occurred to him of murdering her and then drowning himself—a thought which, he constantly reiterated, would never have entered his mind if his pas 4011A had nut been maddened by his being " full of beer." Notwithstanding this appeal, Caret declared that if she did not drown herself he would drug her into the pond. Upon this his victim, in a still more earnest and impressive manlier, cried out " George, George, if you thus art, what will become of us hereafter ? I tun not prepared to tic, and I am sure if you do this you cannot bet. For God's sake, don't attempt it." " Ahd oh," exclaimed the prisoner, when narrating this to Mr. nwintyre, " if I had but listened to her arguments that night, both our lives would have been spared, and we might one day have lived happily together!" But. deaf even to this remon strance, the prisoner in his frenzy Prized her, and corn meneed dragging her into the pond, she struggling with all her strength to prevent him, and screaming as loudly as she could. Just as be had drugged her through the bushes, and when site was partially in the water, worn out with struggling and screaming, though a woman of I considerable physical power, she tainted, and, resistance being suddenly . w ithdraw u, he fell nice her, and was quite as much in the water as she was. Ile caught her round the body, and holding her firmly by the arms I , (thus causing the bruises under th e elbows), retained ! her in this position until life was extinct. Whether the bonnet of the deceased was laid by the side of the pond by her, or was forced off in the struggle, does nut sects to be remembered by the prisoner; he Gels, however, cer tain that when he drowned her she had no bonnet on. Ile then attempted to destroy himself, but the instinctive love of life prevented him. lle even went back again to the pond, and left it with the same result. Ile proceeded direct to the Harrow, and when his saturated clothes and missing hat and handkerchief attracted attention, be, as is well-known, scarcely endeavoured to conceal his crime,'and almost to use the words of the learned judge in sentencing I him, "in express words pronounced his doom." The MI- I happy man describes the moral power which the deceased had over hint as genetally capable of leading him in any di rection, and he is confident that this crime is attributable to nothing else hut the effects of drink operating upon a man of violent passions. About an hour before the execu tion the rev. chaplain said, "Now, George, eternity is fast canning upon you. Have you anything to add to, to detract from, or to alter in the cm& ssions you have made to me and the governor ?" The reply wets, "No, nothing; I have told all the truth, and nothing hut the truth, as I hope to be forgiven." LOSS OF Tllf. NESToit.-14 , TMOUTII, APRIL 21. The barque Nestor, Capt. Harper, registering 386 tons, and belonging to ?prises. I'u e, Coining, and Co. of l'lyinotith, left Liverpool on the bith ult., with shingle and grovel bound to Manamalla, in the island of Cuba, for mahogany and cedar. She had u crew in all of 16 hands, but utter the departure of the pilot they were unexpectedly increased by the appearance from the main hold of two sea men, who had stowed theinselses away, in the expectation of getting a free passage to America. While in the Irish Channel the Nestor had strong gales from W. and W.S.W. which strained her ; and ME the Bristol Channel, on the "3rd of March, she was compelled to heave to in a gale from the W.S.W.,_ ' which rather increaetal her leakage. On Saturday, the ZRli they were in Lit. 41.59 N., long. 11.3.1 W., 290 miles from the coast of 'Nautical, wind light from \V.N.W., ship's head S.W. under easy canvass. 6 o'clock in the aft„ ton the cooli, James Millar on going into the foreliold fur coal, discovered a large leak in that direction. The bail, was immediately tacked, all the fore anti aft sails taiseu iu to ease her ; the mate manned the pumps, and the mater, with the carpenter, went into thu furchoid to end..moor to reach the leak, supposed to he in the larboard bow ; the ballast was hove back, and the combings cut, but these efforts were unavailing, as the water increased on them, and was soon over the breast-hooks. In this deplorable C./litillloll the pumps were kept going all night; the loose ballast, however, began to foul the water, and the ship was gradually sinking. On Sunday morning, the 30th, flags of distress were hoisted on each mast, and at 9 o'clock the mate, front the masthead, happily espied a sail to leeward, but at a great distance. The Nestor's course was shaped in that direction,and thestranger,which stood towards them, was reached between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. Meantime,!order seems to have prevailed ; the master took charge of the jolly boat, the mate had the long boat, and the second mate the pinnance ; into these were stowed a cask of bread, two of water, the spare beef from the harness casks, and the men's cheats. It was S o'clock before they cleared their unfortunate ship • she could not survive an hour, the water was over the beams, indeed it covered the deck on the Ice side, to which the ballast was fast shifting. Their deliverer proved to the schooner Dart, Captain Bootyman of Plymouth, with oranges from Lisbon for Newcastle. She hail a crew of five hands, who did all they could for their distressed visitors, but, as she registered only 52 tons, her accom modation was very iasutticient for such a large increase to her complement, now amounting to 23 Bouts. In conse quence of the rise of the gale the Nestor's boats were stove alongside, and were cast adrift. Her crew were obliged to stow themselves away on their chests and hammocks, in the Dart's boats, or on her quarter-deck, warps, &e. Excepting two days, severe easterly winds and cold rains prevailed con stantly, and their only covering was a square sail and an old studding sail. The Dart, during the passage, sprang her top-mast and jibboom; she spoke no ship, and the water failing, all hands were placed on short allowance. In this condition the Nestor's crew, not being able to change their clothes for 20 days and 20 nights, reached this port yes- Welty morning, and, being taken in charge by the agent of the Shipwrecked Mariner's Society, were fed, lodged, and forwarded to their several homes. The names of the crew are—Thomas Harper, master; Edward Walford, of Bridge water, mate ; and Julio Criddel, of Liverpool, second mate ; Francis Westlake, carpenter, and four apprentice., of Ply mouth; Henry Sheldeu, William Putter, John Jones, Patrick Higgius, and Jes Millar, the cook, of Liverpool; John Morrison, of London; George Watford and Henry Silk, of Bridgewater; and the two stowaways, Frederick Kendall and Arthur Callaghan, of Liverpool, who decamped lon reaching the shore. ACCIDENT TO AN ACTOR.—On Saturday night, jat the Norwich Theatre, an accident occurred of • very distressing nature. Mr. F. l'hillips was performing the character of Rod Roy, and in one portion of the piece he has to pass upon a rock, but the platform was not secure, by some mistake the men upon whom the duty de volved having neglected toaffix acertain ladder in its proper position. In pawing over the fictitious precipice, Mr. Phillips, who is a very heavy man, fell from a considerable height, and lighted upon his heel, producing a compound fracture of the bones of the leg, implicating the ankle joint. He was immediately removed to the hospital, and upon a con sultation among the surgeons, it wow deemed necessary to amputate the lower extremity of the bone.—Norfolk C:A . r k " TT id el l YPT TO BRIBE A PROSECUTOR.—At the Liverpool Sessions the Recorder sentenced two men named John and Christopher O'Hare to eight months' imprison ment, with hard labour, for attempting to bribe • cattle dealer from Ireland, named Conley, not to prosecute an unfortunate girl named-Smith, who had robbed him of 20 sovereigns, no part of which had been restored to him. The prisoners offered the prosecutor 81. or 91. not to give his evidence, and they went together to a friend of the prosecutor's to deposit the money, but he refused to have anything to do with it. A sovereign was paid to the pro secutor, which he afterwards returned to the prisoners; and, failing to obtain any more money, he applied to the police. SPORTING. EWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

The official report says :—The return for the week ending last Saturday exhiLits a further improvement in the public health. The deaths in Lonelon,which in the last week of March rose to 1,418, and declined in the two subsequent weeks to 1,059 and 1,012, have now fallen to 91.,5. It ap pears from a comparison of the tell corn. soiling weeks in 1341-50, that the deaths of last week were exceeded in only one instance, namely, in 1819, when they cos.., to 1,089. If the average of corresponding weeks, which was 934, be int:mese,' in the ratio of supposed increase of papa latiun, it becomes 1,019; and, on this estisioned amount, the present return shows a decrease of 21. As compared with the results of the preceding week, both the class of "Diseases of the Ress '.e•atot7 . Organs.," and that termed " Tubercular," of which plithisis is the most important, now exhibit a diminished mortality. The dif ference is principally observed in pneumonia amongst viol dren, this complaint having carried off 71 young persons in the previous week, and only 35 in the lust. The deaths at all ages from pneumonia were 85 in the pretesting week. and o 2 in the last. The decrease in consumption during the last two weeks is also of perceptible amount ; fur this disease was fatal successively to 1311 and 103 persons. the latter number being unusually low. 'faking the weeks corresponding to last, in ten year, ' it will be seen that the lowest number wa4 122, the highest 174, and the average 150. llooping-eotaih. however, does not maintain the same steadiness of decrease, and the registrar of Clearing-cross observes, that lately it has prevailed more in his district. The numbers of children who have been carried off by this complaint during the last six weeks appear in the following series 92, 81, 63, 59, 50, and 62. There died also last week 11 children from croup; and 12 persons, of various ages, from influenza. But while, concurrently with the progress of the year to a more healthful season, the severity of disorders of the above description becomes mitigated, 50111 e diseases of the symutie character discover a tendency to increase. Measles has increased from 211 in the former week to 35 ; typhus from 2.5 to 37 ; and small-pox, which htdshowneosueiderable abatement, has been fatal in the last three weeks success sively to 9, 12, and 18 persons. Five deaths occurred last week in the Small-pox llospital at llolloway,one that of a girl of '2O months, on the 15th; two of men aged .37 and 30 year; on the 17th ; and two of men aged respectively 23 and 231. on the 19th. Two of the men had been vaccinated whirs young; the three other cases are stated to have been "uit protected." A house is mentioned in St. Giles, where nine childreen hail been attacked with :small-pox, and in two eases with fatal effect. None of these patients had bee vaccinated. A case of destitution, which proved fatal to the sufferer l was registered last week. A case of lead colic was repot tedl in the previous return. The deceased was a painter. The death of another man, aged 68, who had formerly fullowialli the same profession, is reported this week, 4em " lead' palsy; pulmonalis (for years)." The births of 706 boys, and 719 girls, in all 1. 425 chil dren, were registered last week. The average, number in six corresponding weeks of 18 1540, was 1,3 . 64. At the Rnyul Observatory, Greenwich, the Meanhe- fight of the barometer in the week was 20•776 inches. The mean temperature was 48 deg. 3 min. The wind was in the east or north-east during the first four days; and during this period the mean daily temperature was about 42 degree:Nor about 5 degrees below the average of the suns days in le years.
