THE FALSE TRIEND.-A CICU. HOBBZHT. George Robert Bohm, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealins a bag filled with clothes, the property of Charles Frederick Allen, of No. 4i, Cole man-street, City. It appeared that the prisoner, a coareelooking fellow, about 30 years of age, with beard and moustache, who looked ray much unlike what he represented himself to be, had bath Wye% in the house of the prose cutor's father, in Coleman-street, and represented that he was going away in the ship John Davis. The prosecutor was anxious to go to sea, and the prisoner said he could get him a berth as steward in the same meal, and they might as welt go away together. The prosecutor, on the faith of these representations, provided him self with an outfit, which consisted of 2 seats, 2 waistcoats, 7 shirts, 2 flannel shirts, 2 pairs of trousers, 6 pairs of arks, 2 pairs of drawers, 5 neckties, a blanket, rug, brushes, razor, and other articles. The whole of the prose cutor's " kit " was deposited in a large canvas keg. A few days since the prosecutor bade farewell so his father and friends, and started from the City for the West India Doak, where the John Davis was said to be ready for sea. The prisoner took the prosecutor to the house of a man named Gilpin, of Na 1, Harrow-street, Bat cliff, where Allen was advised to leave his bag of clothes wilds they went to the shipping office to sign articles of wesosot. On reaching the shipping office it was eembikmd that the Jobs Davis was not ready for sea, or at leant it was an repreeented by the prisoser,who then took his friend to the Jolly Caulkers, a house of public enter tainment on the Surrey side of theriver,whers they remained for three days, and all that time the prisoner lived at the ex pense of his friend. On Sunday afternoon last the prosecutor gave the prisoner some money to buy a =them. The pri mer never returned with the money or the mattress, but on the same afternoon the prisowt called upon Gilpin, and demanded the beg of clothes and a concertina which Allen left there on the previous Thursday, and said " the hag and the concertina belong to ma" He also said Charley (mamma the prosecutor) had shipped and gone to sea Gilpin delivered the clothes and con certina to the prisoner, who was not seen again until yesterday afternoon , when the prosecutor's father met the prisoner on Snow-hill, and gave him into the custody of a City Whams named Edwin Routs, No. 5115, to whom prisoner said, " No, that can't be, I have just wine from Gravesend.' The constable insisted Onaeouriog the prisoner who then said, ;; Trall. I did take the bag of clothes sad the omowtina, and lost them all." Mumma Gilpin and Mary Ahearn proved the delivery of the beg and it. coolants to P.oheoti, who turned out all the clothes and counted every 'Aide. Mr. Partridge thought the psomseutor bad acted with con siderable imprudence. Allem—Well. sir, I as set a enspidoos man, and I thought the prisoner wad as homed man sod would cot rob me. I have lost everything, Mr. Partridge was wiry the prosecutor's confideace in the prisoner was so very sadly abased. He remanded the primoer for a week mad awned Roues to make inquiries about the prisoner, who was a disgrace to the blue jacket. THE EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY IN WHITE - CHAPEL CHURCH. FURTHER DIECOVEILIES.—(rms DAY.) This forenoon at 10 o'clock • search in a part of the church hitherto overlooked was instituted by order of Mr. Churchwarden N. J. Powell, and with the most un "firtmans. belfry behind a sort of wooden chamber or box containing one of the huge dock weights • child's coffin was found standing on end. Upon proceeding upstairs into the dock chamber the men employed in the examination found a child in • shroud and no fewer than 11 skulls. There was also in another part of the chamber • coffin con taining a quantity of sawdust, which upon being removed ! disclosed to view the skeleton of • child, with a cap on the aka I. These and other remains had b ean placed behind some beams or joist. parallel to the wall, at • height of eighteen feet above the floor of the chamber. To reach the spot where the remains were found, it is stated that two per sons at least meat have been engaged, for the only 400148 to it was by means of a narrow ledge of timber eight feet from the penal, and the coffins must had been handed up to the perm &Washy an accomplice. The place to catch hold of was very narrow, and if the person clinring oo had made the slightest dip, he would infallibly have been killed by falling into the iron machinery of the church bells. A builder, Mr. Hicks,of Whitechapel, has been en= to carry out this farther search. A carpseter, John employed under him, dates that from the appearance of the wood in the miles some at lead of them must have been placed where they were !mod within the last two years. Fragmente of others premed the appearance of being thirty years old. The total number of readies found by this new search is three bodies of children, 11 stalls, and a quantity of frag ments of bodies, besides mans, complete and broken up. It is extraordinary that these remains were not dis covered before, se a marble slab in the bell chamber states that the bells were thoroughly repaired in honour of the marriage of the Prince of Wales, on the 10th of March last.

PRIVINTION OP INFANTICIDE.—A preliminary meeting to consider the best means of dealing with the increasing evil of infanticide was held on nays day at No. 16, Crimea-street, Strand, when the fol lowing reeolutions were unanimously carried :—" That this meeting, haying considered with painful interest the various causes whirl apathies to the commission of the crime of infanticide, is of opinion that a society should he formed with • view to devise mean of shacking an evil which is now prevalent to a degree loudly calling for immediate re medial rosesuree. That a committee be appointed, consist ing of those now peessat, with power to odd to their num ber, and that the Names of a president and vice-president be submitted at the next mating; and that a draft of the rules and regulations for the msnagement of the society be prepared and laid before the some meeting. That the prospectus (which described the causes which led to infanticide and the probable remedies) embodies many of the views of this meeting ; but that it will con• duos to the objects of this society if gentlemen will come to the next meeting prepared with papers containing their matured sentiments upon this most important subject.

CONDWANDD MUNDSRCRA AT KIRK DALE.—So far mat present appears there will be the happily rare and painful sight of • quadruple execution at Kirkdale on Saturday next. From ioquiriee at the gaol yesterday it appears that Abrams, the Spanish sailor (condemned for the muider'of James Harriers. in Liverpool), cannot be brought to realise the terrible fact that his life has been forfeited, and be resolutely declares that he will not be bang. O'Brien. on the other hand (who murdered the keeper of a house of ill-fame in Preston-street, Liverpool). is preparing himself devoutly for the change which awaits him, and both men are diligently attended by clergymen from the Mount Venom Catholic Institute. The other condemned men, Benjamin Thomas and John Hu g h es , are Protestants, and their spiritual requirements are attended to by the Ray. Mr. Appleton, the gaol chaplain. Hughes (sentenced for the murder of his wife) appears truly repentant, and pre pared, so far •• appearances indicate, to meet his fate. He still declares, however, that he had no previous intention of maltreating the deceased woman. No reply has vet been resolved to the petition numerously idgml on his behalf, c a d d ied hie sentimee may be commuted, which h a s b e a u to the Secretary of Siete.

THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER FLORIDA AT BREST. A correspondent of the Times, one "J. L.," nods an account of a visit he has just paid to the Florida, at Brest. The captain is described by the erthusiastic writer as "a alight, middle-sized, well-knit man, of about 42 ,• a merry - looking man, with a ready, determined air, full of life and business ; apparently the sort of man who is equally ready for a fight or a jollification, sad whose prefer ence for the latter would by no means isterfere with his cre ditable conduct of the former." He is 42 years old, sod is the oldest officer on board. All the offieen were born in the Confederate States, and most of them were offioen in the United States navy before the outbreak of the war. The oldest of the offiosn is not more thee 23. "The men are more mixed." There are ICI able mama on board the Florida, sod about 13 affirms. The captain exhibited a book, in which all the prism were regularly entered and all particulars relating thereto. He explained that their ' O l t Northern of l' e ""to burn and destroy i the property wherever they found t. The pipers of the burnt prizes ere all kept sad a valnatioo is made before the destruction of the vessels in the expectation that when peace is restored the Confederate government will make an appropriation of money equivalent to the claim, of the captors. In coriesqueoe of this arrangement there is very little actual tramcar* on board the Florida, and the alms and crew are working mainly oo the faith of the future in dependence and solvenc y of the Confederacy . " Anyway," said Captain hfaffitt, "we have oust the government very little, for we've lived oo the enemy. Oh, yes, we've nerved them out beautifully." In reply to some questions as to the tiethod of capture, the captain maid, "We only make war with the United States government, and we respect little property. We treat primmer, of war with the greatest respect. Most of those whom we have captured have spoken well of rut To be sure we have met with some ungrateful rascals ; but you inset with those all the world over. The last prize we took was the Anglo-Saxon, which we took in the English Channel the other day, in mid-channel, about sixty miles from Cork. fibe had coal cm board, and we buret her. The pilot was a saucy fellow, and maintained that be was on his piloting ground. He insisted on being landed in an English port, but we could not do that. I brought him and 24 men here (to Brest), and sent them to the English oonsuL If the pilot bas any just claim upon us it will be settled by the Confederate government. That's not my bemires. My business is to take care of the ship." On Wring leave the correspondent asked Captain Maffit whether be expected to be intercepted on leaving Brest, pointing at the same time to the Goulet, the narrow passage which affords the only ingress and egress to and from the Bade. " Well," replied he, ' I expect there will be neves or eight of them out there before long, but I'm not afraid. I've run eight blockades already, and it'll go hard but I'll run the ninth." SHOCKING CASE OP MANSLAUGHTER BY THE CREW or A FEENCE Vim.—At the Sunderland Police court, on Thuredsy, Testa Clulot, master, Wenn F. Joseph, Eugene Jean, ?hods Jean, G. M. Emile, sod Joseph Gorio, the two last being boys, were charged with causing the death of Matthew Williamson, • fisherman, ow Tuesday sight, sight, about seven miles off Segun Harbour. Mr. Robson , Erted on behalf of the Town Clerk, and Mr. Graham oded ' the orisoeers. Mr. Robson said it appeared that on the night of Tuesday, about half-past ten o'clock, Matthew Williamson sod three other men, fisher men, belonging to Hartlepool, were fishing for herrings with a net, about six or seven miles off &sham Harbour, the harbour being W.N.W. While they were thus busily employed they saw • ship bearing down upon them, which afterwards tumid out to be the ship to which these men belonged. The fishermen did all they could to attract attention, by making the fire blew and blowing the fog horn, though the weather was clear. The ship, however, came right down upon them, and caught the beat forward, and she was io tome danger of going down. tinder these circumstances three of the crew jumped, sod tried to get on board the French ship, feeling their lives to be is danger. The fourth mu remained in the boat. Matthew Williamson was among those who jumped. As soon as they got into the chains the crew of the French ship endeavoured to throw them buck into the host. Williamson and another man, named Andrew Bogey, were driven back, and made a sec ond attempt to get on board. While they were climbing up Williamson was struck on the heed by one of the crew with a log of wood or • handspike, and the blow loosening his hold, he fell into the water and was drowned. There was no doubt a French ship was answerable for damage dose by process in the Court of Admiralty. But although the present offence had been committed within the jurisidictioa of the Court of Admiralty, be doubted whether an English court had jurisdiction to try it. Robert Robson said the ship struck the boat tight upon the stem, and as the rope did not give way at first, they were in danger of being sunk. He called to his companions to jump on board the veseel. sod be, Andrew Bogey, and Matthew Williamson immediately jumped into the fore rigging of the ship. They were banging on the aide when the two men who jumped with him were knocked back by the crew of the vessel, and mune of the crew were also trying to knock him hack with their bands, but his arm was f i st in the fore shrouds. They were " braying" at his head with their flat hands. He got on board, and while he was climbing up Bogey and Williamson jumped • second time into the main chains. When the latter had his knee on the gunwale, one of the crew who bed been diodes at the witness west to William sos and struck him oo the Iliad with a log of wood, and he tumbled into the water aid was drowned. Withers in stantly went to the skipper at the helm and told him to put the helm up and let the vessel go by the wind, but the skipper answered by stamping angrily and using very violent language, ending by striking at witness, who avoided the blow by retreating along the deck. The two men who were attempting to push him down were L. F. Joseph and Eugene Jean, but he could not say which of them it was who struck at Williamson. Andrew Bogey, soother of the men, gave corroborative evidence, aod identi fied Joseph as one of the men who pushed him back. Benjamin Robson said he stayed in the boat when the others tried to jump on board the ship, and he ow Williannoo pushed beck. That was the reason witness did not jump. Re also saw him jump the mooed time, whoa one of the Freeclinien struck him • blow cm the head with • handepike, which knocked him into the water. and he was drowned. On looking up to where Williamson fell from, he saw the man Joseph looking over the ship's side, but he did not see any more of the crew. The Mayor said that Nicola Jean and the boys would be discbarmd. The other prisooers were remanded for • week. The magis trates agreed to accept bail for the captain in the sum of 100 i., and two sureties in 501. each. They decided to ac cept bad for the other primmer..

"Sir,---I am commanded oy the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you that Lord Palmer ston brought the memorial adopted at the meeting of unem ployed operatives at Gliugow on 24th March last, together with other similar applications, under the considerate* of this board, with reference to the measures which it might be the duty of her Majesty's government to propose during the Li aria% for ift alleviation of distress in the mane factoring districts. Their lordships deers me to slate that although it is deeply to be lamented that the intermissioa of the ordinary employment which is afforded by the cot ton manufacturers should have extended to erase lotelfties than those in which that misaufacture constitute the staple and almost exclusive source of employment, her Majesty's government did not feel justified in - Bohai to parl iam ent any genera measure for the promotion of employment or the amendment of the poor-law, or for facilitating emigratioa. However desirable such measures may apppeaar to parties suffering under what it is hoped may prove but &temporary went of employment, my lords must theatre that it is seldom expedient and seldom ultimately advantageous, even to the parties themselves, that general alterations affecting the large subjects of employment, poor relief, and emigration, should be made incooserenoa of temporary pressure • and parliament accordingly, in the two acts passed for affo rding' relief in the last session, have confined their operations to the districts in the counties of Chester, Lancaster, and Derby, known as the manufacturing districts. My lords have only to add, in expressing their sympathy with the distressed operatives, that, looking to the Mamas- Mg general prosperity of the country, their lordships trust that in the manufacturing districts of Scotland, having re gard to the demand for labour and the various emus of industry which prevail in those district", those on whose behalf the memorialists have been addressed may be able to find profitable employment.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " F.

STRATHELEN. —The partridge shooting season opesed os Tuesday, but little was done on the low grounds. The weather was dull wed stormy, and few sportsmen were out. The coveys are numerous sod large, and excellent sport is expected. On the hill sides the keepers report the coveys as strong, and yesterday all the shooting grounds were walked over, and each eporteman would have from 12 to 14 brace.

The sport on the moots in the neighbourhood of Pitlochry, Duokeld, Blairgowrie, Blair-Athde, and Loch Ransoch side wee upon the whole excellent for the are week after the shooting opened ; but the grouse are now much scarcer, and the birds wild and not easy to get within gunshot of. In some places the birds are affected with discos—though not to any extent—arid aosarquently some of the yew' grouse are mallet than usual. In the central district of Breadal- I bane the sport has bees excellent, and much above the aver age of former years.

Grandtully, and other 'portends have also made fair bass in the dis trict. In the seighbourheed of Billie, and in the north western district of the meaty, sportsmen have enjoyed but poor sport, and both grouse and black game have not been so scarce on several of the moors for many years pant. At Oclitertyre and Glenturret on Friday and Saturday lad the various sportsmen were pretty sneceseful during the few hours they were out each day. The Hoe. Gilbert Heath en* M.P.

MAJIHTL—An isquiry, directed by the Board of Trade, was opened at the Petty Soriano Court, Portsmouth, yes terday (Friday), into the circumstances &Moodie' the low cf the steamer Her Majesty, belooging to the Potiamouth and Hyde Packet Company. It may be remembered that the steamer was making as exaursioe voyage round the Isle of Wight on the 15th ult., mod when off Bembridge oho struck on the coal rocks and became a total wreck, fortunately, however, without any kw of life. The in- Sty took place before Mayor Travers, and J. fireboat:le, ~ justice' of the peace, assisted by Captains Baker Robb:won, nautical assiessors. Mr. Hammill represented the Board of Trade ; and Mr. B. W. Ford, solicitor of Portsmouth, watched the owe for the Packet Company. After the whole of the evidence had been taken the court pronounced judgment as follows :—" Having considered the evidence we are dearly of opinion that the accident occurred entirely by fault of the mate, William Tyhurst, he having taken upon him self to alter the course of the ship in opposition to the orders previously given by the master to the man at the helm. For this unwarrantable interfweatie we feel hound to suspend his certificate, but in eon. sideratiou of his previous good character and long 'orrice with the company we do so for a shorter time than we otherwise should. We suspend his certificate, accordingly, for six months. Before concluding we strongly admonish the captain, in future, when approacbiag any intricate or dangerous part of the navigation, not to absent himself from the bridge, where he could see for himself, sod pre. vent the possibility of the mate or any one else interfering with his orders, and he must clearly understand that bad be heard the look-out man's warning (viz., that there were rocks ahead a quarter of a mile before the vessel struck) we should have been under the palatal necessity of suspending his certificate for not immediately stopping the engines, or taking other necessary steps to avoid the danger, if possible." DEATH OF A YOUTHFUL PRODIOY.—Leat Saturday there died in Montrose glad named Alexander Millar, whose testa as • calculator astonished all who were acquainted with him, and many sought to know the boy io order to put his powers to tie test, The gift was a natural one, for Alexander in his earliest years showed a remarkable facility in mentally solving arithmetical problems. For the gift of a marble or a defaced postage stamp he would calculate the number*, hours, minute', and seconds one had lived almost as quick as thought. Some gentlemen, who tried him with a question of this kind, while they worked it on a slats, thought they had caught the lad tripping. His mower was given some minutes before they weld compute the amount, and when the results were compared there was a considerable discrepancy. On reel. ficatioe, however, it was toned that Alexander had allowed for the leap years, which the others had forgotten. Nor was our hero less an adept at working oa the slate when at school, for he carried off all the prizes in arithmetic at every examination he attended. He had also from hie earliest boyhood a knack of putting into verse any incident or subject mentioned to him. The rhymes were rough and rode, no doubt, but still the gift was remarkable in one so young. The poor boy had been in delicate health for some months peat, having two or three fits daily, but be still retained his usual gift of mice latioo up Lill the dry of his death. He was gentle and affectionate in his mousers, and a great favourite with all who kw. him. Though generally refusing to display his , gift without maw little paid pro quo, Millar could not be culled greedy, as he was ever reedy to share his acquisition' I with his companions. Thus we has died, at the early age of Osumn, who, had be lived, might have been an howler to Montrose.—Drastee Advertiser. _ GYMNASTIC FESTIVAL AT TILE CRYSTAL PALAU/. —The first anneal festival of the Amateur Gymnastie So• ciety, in eminence with the 7th company of the 19th Mid dlesex Rifle Volunteer Corps, came off yesterday, in the grounds of the Crystal Palace. in the pressrun of a large ocunsinnie of spectators.

Tax Snouts COINAGL —The efforts made during the but 18 months or two yams to call in the old copper coins and issue their brows rodertitutes have, it apneas, been snooradol to a peat extent, so far, at leen, es the Imes towns are emerened. We understand that old p:= half-peas, and farthings to the oroninsl vein of Zrd: have he reamed to the nester of the mint aid The inhalant of the old copper coins in circu lates is supposed to have been about 750,0001. Vigorous efforts are now hefts made to get in the !mid*, from vil- Ines, hamlet., and the more remote districts of the country. The notion that the old pennies of the reign of George 111., known BB the rim pennies, were more solvable than the ordinary ones, is, we are informed, quite erroneous, as the intrinsic value is now little more than half the nominal or circulating price, and nothing like the quantity of coins can be used by the mint in the new once. The rim pennies were originally 16 ouncrs to the pound. Reduced by (Acne°, they now run about 18 to the pound. In the ounce. of a short time the tender of the 101 l coin will be declared illegal, and can only be taken at the price of old copper, which isnot. about 11d. per pound. Those persons who have bees hoarding up th e rim pennies under the idea of °noising abetter price for them, sad who keep them until they are declared no longer a legal tender, may name gamily find themselves in the =plena, predioameet et receiving only Ild. for IR. Under these circumstances they will of course, if they are wise, lose no time in getting them managed at their present full nominal valve—Liverpool Mercury. Tag WEST INDIAN INCIUMB/LRED ESTATES COURT. —The Solicitors Journal has the following remark on the lit of beeriness in this ooert, which reoeatly appeared in on volumes:—"The acreage of the estates, so far as It appears, exceeds 40,000. The nevem-moneys of the estate sold within the last twelve months are 26,0301. upon which there is a commission of on par cent, my 20W.. payable to government towards the expellees of the commission. Besides the commission, we believe there are some fees to be credited. The reunite show very favourably as contrasted with the very num tisfactory return lately furnished by the land registry for England. Although the English scheme has not sue. ended very well, the experiment of an Incumbered Estates Court, which certainly was a mimes in Ireland, has also succeeded in the West Indies. The working of a com pulsory registry his never been tested ; but a partial acid voluntary registry is, and we think always most be, a failure. We nuderstand that an address, signed by twenty of the most eminent City and West-end firms, and headed by Messrs. Freshfields, the solicitors to the Bank of Eng land, has been presented to the Treasury, requesting the immediate transfer of the West Indian Court to Lincoln's. ion, sad we have no doubt that it will meet with the reedy °emphases it deserves. On such a point the interests of the profession and the public are identical." We entirely agree so the recommendation for the transfer of this court from Park-week Westminster. to Liocoln's-inn, when all the law courts ought long since to have been concentrate/ GREAT MATCH FOR Two THOUSAND POUNDS,— The clerk of the course of the Scarborough Steeplechase 'u been officially informed that an event is wronging which is likely to cause more excitement in the wain world than any match since the famous contest over York between the Plying Dutchman and Yoltigeor. It will be remembered that Bed Robin and Rainy, both horses the property of the Mews. Simpson, of the Yorkshire Wolds, woo the great events at both Scarborough sod York Steeple chases, when any amount could have been laid against them.

C. Charlton a man named Th omas Woodhull was charged with stealing from the person of Benjamin Dolphin the sum of one halfpenny! The prosecutor deposed that he was drinking in a certain public-house, and the prisoner was newt in the kitchen. Whilst he was leaning his heed on the table he felt a hand is his pocket sad on looking up saw Woodall drawing away. He accused him of biking some money, and the prisoner thee opened his lend and showed him a halfpenny. He then mot for the polies, and gave him in custody. In reply to questions from the beech, Dolphin said he had some silver in his pocket, but meld not my whether he had a halfpenny. The magistrates decided to commit the prisoner for trial at the next quarter sessions. Two MEN BURIED ALIVE.—On Thursday after noon a fatal accident took place at Woodbridge. It appears that a well was being constructed in the yard of Mr. Joseph Knight, the manufactarer of the Suffolk white bricks. About half-past 2, on Thursday afternoon, it had been excavated to a depth of about 60ft • the upper por tion for about 14ft. being a stiff age soil, while the remainder was a loose send. Mr. Charles Dove, of UPfords the contractor sin t er& and a man named Tyler, were at work down well. when, to hasten the job, Dove ordered a portion of the brickwork to be re moved. This had hardly been effected when the side of the well gave way, and some thirty feet of the sand with nearly all the brickwork cared In, completely burying the two men. Mean were promptly taken for the mosey of the bodies, bat from the tedious nature of the openness t h ey were not removed from the rubbish till a late hour on Friday.
