- - ADULT EDUCATION AND EVENING SCHOOLS IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. -. The fourth annual conference of the South Staf fordshire Amociatioe for the Promotion of Adult Education and Evs nine Schools was held on Monday last at West Bromwich. The proceedings oommeeoed with the business meeting, which was held at the rooms of the Christian Institute, at twelve o'clock, when the chair was taken by Lord LINTELTON. Mr. J. Joins, the secretary, read a report of the past year's operations. The committee commenced by congra tulating the members and the delegates from institutions in the union on the encceesful operations which bad marked this Fast year, and expressed their belief that the emaciation would sou overcome the difficulties; which generally attend the establishment of a new institution. By returns received from seventeet institutions it appeared that the number of members in these societies is 2,296, and in nearly every came an Manisa bad bees reported since last year. The number of book. in the libraries of sixteen institution' is 11,363, and nine institutions had 482 students in their various classes last winter. These returns, however, do not include several night schools, which pay the institution fee in order to be able to send candidates to the Society of Arta' examina tions. The committee then noticed the special fea tures of the past year in the work of the institution, which have been both numerous and important. In Decem ber last the committee obtained the terms, of Hr. J. C. Buckmaster, from the Science and Art Department, South Kensington, who had visited the di ff erent schools in the district, a d bad given a considerable stimulus to the 'Mama classes. It was matiefactory to find that although three years ago there was but a single institution class in South Staffordshire for inestiotion is any scientific subject, and that one attended by scarcely WA-dozen students, last year chemistry classes were held at Dudley (two), Kilmer , Congresses (two), Wedneelcury, Wolverhampton (two), sod also a clam for geology at Wolverhampton Work ing Men's College, and another for practical mechanics, and that the number of students in the several clashes, in cluding a large proportion of artisaos, was about 170. Heating; had also been held for an extension of the know ledge of geology and botany. The subject of working ma's clubs had also occupied the attention of the committee, and clubs had been formed at Wedncebary, West B romwich, Sedgley, Brierley Hill, and Penenett. The number of candi dates whose =MI wore gives in for night schools was this year upwards of 300, and of them 210 were examined at twelve centres. The examiners had awarded 37 fins grade certificates including four intermediate certificates and 59 second grad*, being a total advance of 64 candidates since 1862. They call particular attention, however, to the fact that the general character of the work sent in this year is mot egad to that of 1862. At the Society of Arts' exami nations this year 82 candidates presented themselves and worked 115 papers, being an advance over last year of 23 candidates sad 28 papers. At the examinations of the Science and Art Department 58 candidates were examined, and of the 38 successful students 24 belooged to classes coo ducted by the society's agent. During the year the com mittee have undertaken the superintendence of the (Lm bridge Local Examinations, held at Wolverhampton. In December last, 39 candidates were examined at Wolver hampton—four for the manor examination, and 311 for the junior. In the hats of successful candidat es , South Staf fordshire maintained the high position of the preceding year. The committee have determined to adopt ant year the scheme of elementary examinations in 000nexion with the Central Committee of Educational Heim; and the Programme is only a slight modification of the ow for last year's examinations. They have also decided to offer several prizes of books for the best away on each of the following subjects :-1. " How the working mica home may be rode more healthy and comfortable 2. "The proper uses aod common abuses of intellectual instreetion for the working classes." and also for the best collectioa of Dudley fossils, South Staffordshire minerals, and local plants. The report then goes on to notice with regret the removal from this district of the Rev. J. P. Nome and the Rev. H. R. Sandford, and to lament the death of the Rev. T. H. Campbell, of Wolverhampton, who bad been • zealous supporter of the society. The total income of the association during the past year, incln 51. 6e. in hand at the last ress ex :Lof the armistice, bad been 7161. 4s. 6d. • and the ture 2304 9s. 9d. The balance due to the treasurer , w hich in last year's statement wasp tit_down as 331. 18e. 44., had been reduced to _ _ . The BCCIUTAILY neat read a report from the Examiners of the Night School candidate., which stated that the num ber of candidates had increased from 156 in 1862 to 210 in 1863, but the somber of schools and institutions sending candidates remains the name as last year, viz., 21. Of these 210 candidates 31 pined the first pads certificate, of whom 11 were thought worthy to be put in the first class ; 59 pined the mooed pads artifice* of whom 10 were placed in the first clan, while 120 tailed to reach the required standard. By comparing these results, with those reined last year, it will be seen that they indicate a great falling o ff in the quality of work done, as in 1862 out of 156 candidates there ware 29 who bad obtained first padre certificates, of whom 14 were is the first class; end 61 who obtained second grade certificated, and 20 of those were in the first alma The number of failures this year is 15 per cent. greater thee last year. The report was adopted. Lord Lytteltou was re-elected president, Mr. R. L Chance treasurer, Mr. Langley ssaetary to the exeminers, and Kr. Joao general witwstary ; and a committee was named for the year ensuisg. Boma otter local institutes cram upon apphoation, added to Me mica. There was an educational oonlerenos in the afternoon, at which papers were read and some interesting topics dis closed. A dinner was given at the Dartmouth Hotel, and there WU tea for the night schcol candidates at St. George's HalL In the evening a public meeting was held, at which Lord Lyttelton again presided.

The police will gladly receive information. _ SING CLtl DISOOVIRY or AA ILLicrr Waisicr STILL.—An uoexpected discovery of a large whisky still, in full operation, was made on Saturday in a retired wood a few miles to the west of Newcaetle-on-Tyne. A water-butt had been stolen from Coalborn Farmhouse, near Win laton, and the traces left behind is rolling it sway afforded a clue to its destination, which was followed up by police ',anecdotes Stephenson and Thompson of the Durham County Constabulary. It lead them through woods, fields, and even standing corn for about three miles, and then suddenly ter minated at the brink of a cliff, about 60 feet high, at a solitary place called Milkhonee Bore. On looking over the edge of the cliff the officers were astonished to finds whisky still in full operation, and n ',limas, named Thomas Carr, and his wife attending to it. On seeing the police, Carr and his wife ran off so speedily as their legs would carry them, closely followed by the officers. The woman was soon run down, and secured by passing her arms round a tree and handcuffing her in that 'oakum. Thompson had followed the man, and in the chase through the hushes got his face severely scratched. Just as be got near to Carr, the latter picked up a large atone, sad was just on the point of throw ing it at Thomoson, who, however, saved himself by reship( upon him and bringing him to the ground. A severe struggle was maintained with great determination for some time between them and was only terminated by Stephemou coming to Tholitheon's madame. John Carr. the brother of the male prisoner, was afterwards appreheuded as an accomplice. The officers found fourteen gallons of "wash" near the still, end about four gallons of nearly complete whisky. The prisoners were taken before the county bench at Gatos/mad, on Tuesday, and were remanded. A Coors FIRM) 2200 FOR KEEPING AN ILLO:IT STILL AT HOLL. —On Tuesday a cooper, named George Harding. residing . on the Efecele-romd, wee summoned before the stipend iary magistrate at the Hull Poliov court, on a charge of keeping_ an illicit stilL It *poems that at the early part of September the excise anthorities received information of an illicit still being carried on at an unoccu pied dwelling-bats., No. 8. Osborne-street. The police ware acquainted with the fact, and a visit was paid to the house. The place was securely fastened, and they had to break in the back way. They then discovered a complete apparatus for the manufacture of spirits, and also about 100 gallons of fermented wash. The still was mired, and in quiry made, when it was found that the house was talented by the defendant, and npoo being told of the discovery which had bees made, he admitted that the illicit distillery was his. In defence he now stated that be had been maim factoring the spirits merely as an experiment.

The same brilliant weather which characterised the opening of the autumn racing campaign at "head quarters continued yesterday. The card was of skeleton pretensions, but as will be found from the appended report there was no lack of excitement, sad the usual Newmarket " certainties" resulted in many instances in the defeat of the " good things" that they looked on paper. The day's sport commeooed at ten 113111US011 before one o'clock with the Ditch In Fifty Pentad Plate, which had only received two entries, Revolver and Novice. Lord Stam ford, however, did not run Revolver, end the Jockey Club withheld half the money upon Novice walking over. The 3-year-old Triennial Produce Stakes produced half a dome starters, the only absentee from those " coloured " being Prime la 800, whose owner was emresented by the for soots time St. Leger favourite and Parisian Grand Prise winner, The Ranger. Opinion was divided between Turco@ and The Rama, who were equal favourites until the breaking up of the ring. When the speculative individuals surrounded " the ropes" The Ranger bad a alight call of Count Batthyany's hone, and beyond the two 5 to 1 oould have been obtained. The remit appeared " • moral" for Turco@ when the competitors were only 300 yards from the finish, but the horse tired to death at the claw, and Tor nado getting up to him fifty strides from home, won easily. So confident were the ring of Tome proving sucometul whilst running, that Mr. Jackson (when the horses had conaderably lea than a quarter of a mile to go) laid 100 'ova even that Throne woo. Although not the favourite, Moubiey was not a good horse for the book makers in the Handicap Sweepstakes, and "the gentlemen" got back some of their beings by the mimeos of Liston over Paddy O'Rourke in the match. The moderate Merry Maid woo the Handicap Sweepstakes over the Ditch Mile, which she could not well lose, seeing that she received 21 Ike and the year from Zeloo, 14 lbs end the year from Knave of Trumps, and 11 lbs from Wild Duck. The ten entered for the Selling Sweepstakes all started, and the race resulted is a dead heat between Antoinette and the Lady Constance filly. In the deciding heat, however, Antoinette, after quaffing a bottle of spirita showed her superiority, end won easily. Edward the Coufeseor e who had little difficulty in dimming of the three opposed to him in the Sweepsta ke of 10 soya each, over the Rowley Mile, found a new owner in Mr. H. Joioe. Sandford's running in the St. Lager Stakes completely upset hw Ceserewitch chance, as he received 71b from both Early Purl and The Ranger. Mr. Savile's home ran • good race, and woo, but an objection was lodged by Tom A.t, the rider of Early Purl, on th e ground of The Ranger heels( swerved ea t crossed him in the race ; but the stewards, after due investigation, overrulatthe objection, sad awarded the stakes to Mr. Savile's lame.

Oa Tuesday nsays the Espresso) even at so early as hoer as 11 a.m., the arrival plutorm et the railway terminus at Kingstown presented a complete throng of visitors, who moved slowly out in perfect regiments into the open apses of the VlCUlfil, Wharf. The weather was sioplerly lima for • sail in the bay, Various large steamers mentioned in connexion with the traffic to and from the fleet, commenced plying at an early hour. Gay-looking lines of many-clouted bunting were run up to their several mast& and with • very excellent &band, carried co board the Liverpool Tug Steen. Company's vessel, im parted considerable additional animation to the buisy scene. A slight breeze of wind to the southward bad is the morn ing resulted in a corresponding change of position sin the noels composing the squadron, which to-day for the most part in consequence headed towards the shore, thusenabling spectators from the hod to see and appreciate the delicacy and admirable proportions of their lime in this point of. view. The squalls of the previous day having passed topgallant masta had been again run up, end the stenly hounds and wooden Sun once more appeared " all atattuto," their solid-looking hulls riding majestically and without motion on the deep green waters of the bay. About 2 p.m. the open area of ground surrounding the railway ter minus at Kingstown homes so deniely crowded that a purge from point to point biome • matter of deliberation and difficulty. The traina of the Kingstown and Bray lines continued to disembogue numbers of mitres on the various platforms till a late hour in the evening. Vehicles of every deacription also brought their quota, it being calculated that the number of persons in and about the locality exceeded by many thousands the numbers of the preceding day. In fact, on no previous occasion for many years has such • concourse of respectably dressed and orderly person nailed Kings town. The heavy freights airried by the steamer, on some of their trips was something astonishing, those vessels lite rally swaying from aids to side with the weight of their passenger& The Kiuptown, in returning from the Warrior, was compelled to carry 1,000 peasengers, as the clearing of the ship was imperative before darkness set in. Not • single seaman of the fleet has been arrested for disorderly conduct at Kinptown—a fact mostcreditable to the disciplioe of the squadron. A (Wegner and dance has been arranged by the sheen of the vessel to take place on board the uenolad Defence, to which a large number of their friends and acquaintances have been specially invited. It is also anticipated that hie Excellency the Lord Lieutenant will honour the fleet by • visit, and inspect either the Warrior or the Black Prinoe, and pay a visit to Admiral Dames on board the flag-ship Edgar, subsequently joining the party on board the De fence. This easel will dories the entertainment be closed to the public. Extensive awniop have been ex tended over her decks, and the space so covered in gaily decorated with flap and evergreens. Some rumoun are afloat that the vessel would be brought into harbour during the &jitter, but her draught of water renders this impossible. There can be no doubt that the visit of the Channel fleet to Dublin Bay has been a source of immense plea sure and of information to the inhabitents of the metro polis and its suburbs. Any person who observed the eager ness with which the crowds of visitors pressed on board the steamers this day for transport to the vowels at anchor outside Kingstown harbour must have admitted this—their expressions of admiration on their return from the floating towns being quite in unison with their previous anxiety to inspect the ships. It is most gratifying also to record the testimony of the officers of the Warrior, apparently the favourite with the people, to the uniform good conduct and order of the myristh of visitors who at times crowded the decks of that venal till they became like the promenade of • theatre. No accident his been reported u occurring during the third day of the fleet's stay—a most providentisl circumstance, when it is remembered that some 200,000 per- sons had been put in motion. The ball given by the citizens took place on Tondo, night in the Rotondo. The preparations, which were on an extensive scale, were not concluded until • late hour in the evening. The Round and Pillar Rooms were both thrown open for the occasion, and wen handsomely adorned. The Round Room looked to great advantage, sowing to the scarlet and pink decorations, the waving flap sad dazzling gaseliers, it presented a brilliant and at the same time • comfortable &pustules, which was not eat of place, considering the chilly weather with which we have been lately visited. Above the galleries were sew pended banners, each of which bore alternately the name of a British sailor or a British naval victory, which has become "Atoll's: in our mouths as household words." The spectator glancing around the room encountered the names of Rodney, Nevarino, Codrington, Howe, ColLng wood, Aboukir, Rooke,Trafalpr, Blake, lo Rogue, Rupert, Nile, Nelson, St. Vincent, Albemarle, and last, but cer tainly not the least glorious—Sebastopol. On bayonets were displayed the names of Anson, Raleigh, M'Clure, Barry, Franklin, and other great maritime discoverers. A hand some th rone was erected to the left of the principal entreat& for the representative of the Sovereign, who had inttiisssstMdd his intention of honouring the occsaion with his prunes. A dais, covered with crimson cloth, approached the throne, and the canopy was draped with scarlet and white. In the background were displayed the royal arms, the arms of his Excellency t Lord-Lieutenant, and those of the Prince of Wales, and the Danish national arms, while farther off were the well-known and time-honoured insignia of the ancient city of Dublin.

The various niches io the room were filled up with mirrors and statuettes, which bad s very ! pleasing and attractive effect. The centre of the room was reserved (or dancing, but there was • promenade en circling the apartment, for the accommodation of those of the visitors who were not votaries of Terpeichore, or who wished to be for the time spectators of the dazzling scene which the centre of the room presented. Between the round and pillar rooms was • small reception apartment fitted up as • Turkish tent. The pillar room, which was reserved for quick dances, was also beautifully decorated. The palate were entwined with evergreens and artificial flowers, and the mirrors which were placed around the walls reflected the ornamentations and the varied colours of the dresses of the ladies and the uniform@ of the officers, enhaocior and lending additional attraction to the effect. Supper was served in excellent style in the Concert-room. The flags which decorated the rooms were supplied by the courtesy of Captain De Conroy, of H. 14.5. Ajax. Outside the Rotondo • Bonne of uowooted excitement prevailed. Immense crowds assembled round the building from an early hour in the evening to witness the company as they entered.

BURNING OF • BTRAYKIL IN GREENOCK HAR BOUR—On Tuesday morning at about half-past nine o'clock a fire was dimovered ea board the new screw steamship Peruvian, 2,500 sins, recently launched by Messrs. Robert Steele and Co., for Marrs. J. sod A. Allan's Mont real Ocean Steamship Company, which lay berthed on the east side of Victoria Harbour. Smoke was first seen to arias out of the fore skylight of the cabin, and ice a short time the whole cabin was on fire. The workmen hail bees at breakfast, but information of the fire spread very rapidly, and crowds of workmen were soon on board, doing every thing in their power to stop the progress of the games. Water was quickly lifted in buckets from the harbour, and by this means the fire was checked from making pro gress forward, but it moo became evident that nothing could be done to check its ravages or its progress aft. The ship lay with her stern tower& the north, and the wind being from the west was also the means of preventing the flames from making prosper forward. In about an hour after the fire was discovered it may be said to have been got fairly under, as it was then exhausting itself below is the after extremity. Hundreds of men were engaged in throw. log burning portions of wood over into the harbour. The whole cabin has been destroyed, and possibly the boll aft may bare suffered from the effect. of the water thrown upon the heated iron. We would suppae the damage done to amount to several thousand pounds ; but it is likely the loss is insured. Nothing is known of the origin of the fire.- 0101/00t0 Mail. MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT. —On Monday evening, the fishing village of Ferrydeo ' situated opposite Mootroes oa the right bank of the South Esic,was thrown into great excitement by the report that a fishing-boat belonging to the place had gone down with all hands. The report proved to be too true. The circumstances of the accident were as follows:—Three fishiog yawls were retuning from the fi shing ground, sod about mid-day were stout five miles off the Redhead, or about eight miles south of the port, Two of the Waal ware running close to one another before a stiff and equally wind from SS.W., with two reefs in their sails. The third boat was about a mile and a-half astern of the other two, sod not being so close to the headland, had the full force of the wind on her weather-quarter. It is thought also that she had only one " ring" in her sails. When the boats were about the place stated • squall of wind cams away, the full form of which the boats expe rienced. After the wind moderated the crew of the other boats looked astern so see how their neighbours bad bona the sq uall, and were astonished at not seeing the heat at all. Both then tacked and went back to about the place, but not a vestige of the unfortunate boat and her crew could be seen. The two boats, after some further setrob, had no other alternative but to make for their home, with the melancholy tidings. To describe the state of the rela tives of the ill-fated men, and in fact of the general fishing population, would be impossible. There were six of • crew in the unfortunate boat, all married men with wives and families. Stich a calamitous event has not happened in the district for nearly twenty years.

A field day of the Honourable Artillery Company, afforded yesterday a very favourable opportunity for testing the capabilities of Abixendra-park for military evolutions to the extent which our existing volunteer fortes may require to practise them either regimentally in brigade, or in the more formidable proportions of a regularly appointed and fully equipped army. There was no very large force inanommid, but what there was comprised cavalry, infantry, and artillery—in fact, a minia ture army, and the movements comprised all the usual ad venom, Mots, attacks, and retreats which usually cha racterise field operations when conducted cm peaceable pound. The attacking face, which numbered nearly the entire rank and file, sabre' and guns, wen under the chid command of Captain Blockley, having under him Captain Davis in command of the idantry, and Lieutenant Meese and Captain Potts in command of the Artillery, with Ensign Bowman u field adjutant The enemy was represented by a few skirmishers marking out his position and two guns, under the command of Capt. Jay. The programme of operatioos, which was carried out with the usual precision of this highly disciplined and efficient corm opined with an advance upon an enemy strongly posted upon tkrs brow of a hill, defended in front and on either flank by natural works in thiishape of ditches, hedges, and thick-growing timber. The attacking party being numerically the stronger, and having the advantage of cavalry, with an artillery force double the strength of that of their opponents, gradually surmounted all ob tacks, drove their opponents from cover to cover, and ultimately forced them to surrender. As proving the adaptability of Alexandra-park for such displays, the ex mimeo% was eminently successful, and when the rifle range of 1,000 yards—which the directors propose to form by the ensuing spring—is completed, It will be difficult to find any site within a radius of seven miles from the cadre of London, and posessing equal facilities of acmes, offering in anything like the same dune the necessary conveni ence" for volunteer reviews, either upon a large or a small scale. It is stated by the manager of the park that arrange ment. or in progress for holding a grand volunteer meet iog in the grounds sometime in the mouth of October, in which most of the metropolitan corps are expected to take park NAVAL SHAM FIGHT AND FATAL ACCIDENT. On Tuesday immense crowds came from all parts of the prionipality to Holyhead to witness the sham-fight between the naval force of her Majesty's ship Majestic, corn" married by Captain Ingoldaby, and the Anglesey and Car nervooshire Volunteers, under theirrespective officers. The scene of edam) was the beach at the new harbour. On the heights above batteries of heavy guns had been previously erected ; also a large number of field • placed at dif ferent points. These guns were served mostly by the An. glossy artillerists under Major the Hon. W. 0. Stanley and Captain Commandant Rigby, who hit/educed a novelty in warfare—namely, a 24-pounder mounted on a railway track Amens by a locomotive, which did good service. The action commenced about 4 o'clock by a salvo from the heavy Fund the f4tte, after which the Goshawk tends drew close in and opened Are. This was answered from the forte on shore. The boats crowded withmen were then seen to advance, and, Dot withstanding the most determined eppereet resistance, gained the beach and commenced to attack the batteries. In the mean time the Marines were lauded at a point near Portludyllin, and commenced an attack on the left flank of the volunteers. Though stubbornly resisted, they were obliged to give way, when the naval forces took poseesrion of the batteries, and, hauling down the fiag, hoisted their own. Their triumph, however, was ebortlived, for, rein. forcemeat& coming up, the volunteers gallantly made a se cond attack, and subsequently to a tremendous struggle regained the forte and drove the enemy into the boom. A struggle between naval and military forces is very exciting. There is much more dash in an onslaught by the bluejackets than in the steady precision with which soldiers go to work, so that a combined attack of this nature imparts more pleasure than • sham-fight of far greater pretensions. On this occasion there were nearly 500 volunteers, and the naval fore* wad not much lees in. ferilr in point of numbers. There was, we regret to add, one serious drawback to the pleasure of the scene. One of the guns of the Majestic having hung fire. a seaman rammed down the charge, when it exploded, and the poor fellow was instantly killed, and his body terribly mutilated by the powder, the wadding, and the ramrod. Another gunner, who was misting him, was blown into the sea by the same explosion, and being probably dead before be reached the water, sank instantly. The proceedings of the day created great interest throughout the entire of North Wales, the Lord Bishop of Bangor, Lord Newborougb, Coloael Douglass, Sir R. Buckley, Bart, aDd numerous members of the nobility and gentry of the county, attending. In the evening all the volunteers were entertained at the Market Hall at a substantial dinner, • public ball closing the day. FATAL ALTERCATION.—Last evening Dr. Lan kester resumed an iaquiry respecting the death of Mr. Robert John Rine, aired 63 yes" Mr. Joseph Sadler, of 9. Red Lice-yard, said that he was a coach smith. He had formerly been a tenant of deceased's. Dammed having lost through a fire the lease of other premises, wile. took them on a lease of 21 peso. The result was that, on the sth September, deceased ordered one of witness's men to re move some carriage wheels from a dead wall of deceseed's premises, and maid that be would chop them up, sad verve witness with • writ. Witness met deceased in Red Lion yard, and an altercation maned. Deceased struck witness thrice, and kicked a piece of flesh oat of his leg. It was only then that wine= defended himself. Deceased was a heavy man, and weighed 19 stone. He rushed at witness, but being knocked back against • wall, he fell, and b e came insensible. Witness got water to revive bim. Dr. Morgan said that deceased died from effusion of blood on the brain. The injuries he had received had not been the caused death, but the excitement of the quarrel had brought on the elf usioe, which was fatal. Deceased had bad a slight apo plectic attack a year before. The Coroner said that the mi. dance clearly proved that deceased wee the aggressor, and not Mr. Sadler. The jury, after deliberating in private, re turned a verdict, " That deceased died from effusion of blood on the brain, and that his death was accelerated by the ex citement of a quarrel with another man, in Red Lion-yard, on the sth September." The proceedings, which lasted several boars, thee terminated. FATAL MACHINERY ACCIDENT NEAR BLAPILBURN. —A girl aged Mae years, the daughter of Gabriel Thompson. factory operative, of Lower Darwen, Dear Blackburn, met with a fearful death on Monday afternoon, in th e ;atm mills of Mews. Shorrook and Co., Over Damen. The deceased, whose name was Jane Alioe, was a abort timer, and after leaving school in the forenoon, ran into the mill, aui soon afterwards was found by a boy, William Haworth, suspended by her head, which was caught between the hoist and the ceiling. He rained an alarm, and easiatame coining op. efforts were made to extricate the poor creature. Mean while, however, her heed bad been severely crushed, sod the lower portion of bar fans was frightfully mangled. When the body wee extricated life was quite extinct. It is not known bow the accident was occasioned. but it is presumed that she wee playing with the hoist, set it in motion, and could not recover herself nor loose her hold of it until too THE POLICE COURT& MANSION•HOUBE A genteelly dreamed nestlemanly-lositiag youth, sweetly about 16 or 17 years, who gave the name of Jana Goodwin, and described Mem& an a clerk, resklisig at Bar toa•street, Burton-crescent, was brought before the Lord Mayoryesterday, charged with forging and uttering a cheque for 161., with intent to defraud the National Bank, Old Broad-street. The prisoner gave the cheque for 151., purporting to be signed by Win Tatham, to a man named Hoskins, • porter who was waiting about Dootors'•commons for a job, and told him to take it to the National Bank and get it cashed. He took it and preseeted it to Mr . Wood, me of the cashiers, who immediately suspected it to be a forgery. Detective-officer Prickmaa was called in, and from what Hoskins told him, Packman directed a bag to be made-up containing some copper coins, and under his directions the witness Hoskins went back to the Probate Court, where the prisoner had told him to meet him, and sew the prisoner at the door. The prisoner acme towards him, and he gave him the bag. Paolo:Ian, who was close by, saw the prisoner take the bag, and asked him if he was the party who gave a man a cheque for 151. to be cashed at the National Bank. The primmer said he was, and on being asked by the officer where he got it from, be said he got it from a person named Co: , of No. 5, New square, Lincoln's-inn. The officer asked him whether he took it in payment, and be said no, it was only given to him to get cashed. He was told the cheque was believed to be a forgery, and that he most consider himself in custody. He was to No. 5, New-square, but no such person as Mr. Cu was to be found there. Ur. Hamilton Tatham mid him father, by whom the cheque purported to be signed, was at that time abroad, but he knew the signature was not his writing. It wee • little like hinsignature, but a very indifferent imitation. The primmer, who had nothing to say, waa remanded in order to procure the attendance of Mr. Tatham, eon. GUILDHALL. Charla Allah pert.ert; Mersie.Shieleir, wholesale shirt and collar makers, was placed at the bar charged with rob. biog his employers. Mrs. Oottoc, of the Lower-road, Islington, said she was informed by a costermouger that the prisoner could get her some shirt' cheep. She saw him at • benhouse close to her shop, and asked him to bring her half a dozea at the prim mentioned. He brought her the ankles, for which she paid him 95., and in a few days after she asked him if he could bring another half dozen of striped shine and some fancy regattas. He said he would, but that be had some very nice white ones with him. She looked at them, and finally bought three, for which she paid 9a. A gentleman from the firm io Wood.etrest said the selling price to the trade was Si. 4d. each for the striped shirts, and the white ones 6s. 6d. Wieners mid she paid Is. 9d. each for the regatta shirts. Alderman Hale told the witness she must have ksown she was doing wrong in purchasing articles from a person like the prisoner without making the slighted inquiry. It was, in fact, aiding a thief in the disposal of stolen Pro Peril. Anotner witness produced a box of shirt collars which the prisoner had left at her home, which the prosecutor ideatified as hie property. Kr. W. B. Newland said he war a partner in the firm of Sinclair and Co., Woodntreet, Cbmemis. The pri soner was in their employ as porter, and hrd been so ever aims he was take. from a school some years ago. The property produced belonpd to the Inn. It had never been 'old. . . . . . The primal rid he had purchased shirts of the firm on his own amount, sod therefore there was no certainty that he had not paid for the articles now is court. Alderman Hale—ls the prisoner a ll owed to purchase arti cles out of the warehouse ? Mr. Newland—To a very limited extent, and only for his personal use. Ile has ocossiomilly bought a damaged shirt or two and rearived an invoice in the usual way, but nothing ZOOM Alderman consider it the high road to ruin for warehousemen to allow their servants to purchase articles of them on their own account. Yr. Newland—l believe there is nothing unusual in each • can. It would, he thought, be extremely hard for an employer to refixes to serve one of his servants with a shirt or two at the wholesale prices when they required it. Of emirs, it was bad if allowed to any extent, but there was a limit to everything. Aldermaa Hal —Except to robbery ; there is no limit to that. I know y a very large house in Watling street that was entirely ruined through the practice of seLL ins to their somata. The mutable who took the prisoner into custody asked for a remand, to afford time to trace some other property. Prisoner—l plead guilty to the charge. Alderman Hale—You can do so if you please, but I shell remand you for a week.

Sarah Lewis. ridding at No. 2, Highworth-street, Lisson grove, said—Yesterday af tereoon the prisoner and another woman came and asked if a blind man named Cattle was in. On being answered in the negative they went away, but returned in about a quarter of an hour after. They both went upstairs, and whilst the woman not in custody was talking to Mrs. Cattle, who is also blind, the prsoner took the child which was naked, from the bed, aid throwing a shawl over it, both made off. Mr. Mansfield—Where is the child sow! Witness—At the workhouse. The father is here, and also the step-mother. Prisoner—Cattle, the blind man, is not the father. Anne Cattle, the blind woman, said the prisoner did mat& the child from the bed as she (witness) was sitting by the fire. Mr. Mansfield—What is the name of the child! Primmer—Anne Freeling. The child belonged to my husband's sister, and she asked me to look after it as she was dying. Mr. Mansfield—How can's it in possession of the blind man! . . .

Mr. Mansfield (to prisoner)— Are you able to support it Prisoner—l am, and willing, for it is cruelly treated now. Mr. Mansfield- My opinion is that you (prisoner) are the proper person to have charge of the child. It is now in the workhouse, but it must not be left to be a burden to the ratepayers. The best course to be pursued, as I can make no order, is to flu to Mr. Tubbs, the overseer, and explain the matter to him. Yon are discharged. Mr. Marsh (park constable), who took the prisoner, said the child was in a most filthy state. Mr. Mansfield-You did tbe best thing you could in taking it to the workhouse.

THAMES Two mariners, named William Con trap and Edward Ashe, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting Henry Rose, a sugar baker, Francis Robbins, 119 H, sad Berdamio Stabbings, 111 H.

Stabbings, another police-constable, went to the misname of Robbins, and Ash., who it ap peared woo unknown to the Wm prisoner, cow up, sad a serious fight ensued. Robbins was struck and knocked down, and Conway seized him by the hair of the head and held him down while Ash. kicked him.

Mr. Partridge asked the prisoners what they bad to say in d e fence, and Conway spoke for both, and said, " Drunk, your honour."
