" Gentlemen,—We are about to throw a considerable number of our workpeople out of employment, in conse quence of the ruinous state of trade, and it is our intention to make them a weekly allowance in money, provided it will not be taken into account in the relief which you would be called upon to give them if they received nothing from us. A line in reply will oblige—Your obedient servants, " Maur AND Co." "Sept. 12th, 1862. " Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Guardians of this union to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., and to thank you for the kind sod timely intimation conveyed by am, gentlemen, yours obediently, " W. N. Ennui., clerk. " Messrs. Burley, Charlton Mills." "Charlton Mills, Manchester, Jan. 2nd, 1863. "The Central Relief Committee. " Gentlemee,—We have already more than once called your attention to the conduct of the Charlton Board of Guardians in regard to our operatives now out of work. " When we found it necessary to close our mills, we communicated to the guardians of the Manchester and Charlton Unions our intention to make an allowance to the workpeople (Dopy of our letter enclosed), not to relieve the ratepayers from their responsibility, but to provide oar workpeople with some of the comforts which could not be obtained by the ordinary scale of relief from the poor rates. "The reply we received from the guardians led us to be lieve this principle was agreed to, but we find that the Charlton board are practically disregarding it, and ass re ducing or refusing relief in consequence of the allowances made by us. We shall feel much obliged if you will favour us with your advice, as, unless this cane of complaint is removed, we are otiosely disposed to abolish oar system of relief altogether.—We remain, pi:Alamos, yours faithfully, "Boum and Co." Mr. Fantail was deputed by the Executive Committee to endeavour to bring about an ecoommodatios of the dispute. A long letter was read from Mr. J. L. Brenton, dated from the queen's Hotel, Manchester, Dec. 29, relative to the project of the North Devon Relief Association, of offering shelter, food, and employment to distressed ° tires during the next four month s . Th e followingr: extract :—" The two point" that have erred to us of most importance as regards the Lemonlike dis tress are removal and employment. In proportion to the duration of the distress we fear the great demorelisatios that must result from such a mass of pauperism. If the scarcity should be likely to be permanent, or to last one or two years, there can be little doubt that emigration on • large scale ' ought be projected. But if the stoppage of the cotton trade is only to be matter of months their simple removal to other parts el England would be very easy through th e railways. If assay thousands are simply to be sheltered and fed for • few mouths it is probable that the agricultural districts could re ceive • very large number without any peat strain on their resources. What would be required would be a pa notes from the wealthier classes that those farmers, trades men, and others who would receive, shelter, and feed tree poor people for a few months, should sot thereby be in curring any indefinite or permanent liability for their own hmilite or n hbourhoods, And supposing they are to he simply kept alive for a time, without employment., they would be so, probably, more economically, and more cheerfully and innocently,. thus dispersed certainly the general population than in their own pauperised districts. But looking also to the immense importers of employing as well re feeding them, it is to be sorehead that no small part of the population now in direr has been oomparatively recently attracted from the rand ille• trier ; and that alert a deficiency of labour has latterly been experienced in tree districts. It may be stippo therefore, that • Aix of labour from Lancashire let, other parts et England would Dot be improbable. There is a further consideration respecting employment which seems of importance at the present crisis. It is perhaps sot generally known how much the production of meat, milk, and wool is becoming a manufacturing rather than en agri cultural process- I mean that the use of purchased food (core, linseed, peas, Ica) is every day reading to set the meat predawr free of the law that limits the mere farmer's profits to the resources of his land. The cost of tars port is now so small that yams may be pur chased as cheaply as they can be growls, and there is reason to thank that animals may be fatted on grain as profitably ron roor The chief requisite in arti ficial feeding is cleanliness and regularity. By the use of sand, burnt clay, and even dry sift e d earth, large sheds may be kept perfectly tweet, and the operation of tending animals be as wholesome as any manual employment. I think, therefore, that at no great risk, but with probable profit, meat and milk factories may be started to supply OW ployment for the sufferers in the present distress." Mr. FARSALL read the following report : " To the Central Executive Belief Committee. " Manchester, Jan. 5, Ma "My Lords and Gentlemen,—A reference to iny tabidse reports for the week ended Saturday, the 27th alt., A show yon that there is a revere in the number of prone receiving parochial relief as compared with the number 110 relieved in the previous week of 3,911. This decrease d 3,911 is explained as follows :—There is • decrease at Ali too of 516: Belton, 105 ; Burnley, 617 ; Bury, 980 ; Cher ler, 231; Clitharee. 8; Fria% 7 8 : Heelingdes, 481 ; 48 ; Maschenter, 40.

The average amount of out-door relief per bead per week, both In wiry and kind, in Own unions, on the 27th ult., was le. ; the lowest was Is. lid. ; and the highest was ls 40. at Stockport. Of the 260.506 persons receiving parochial relief on the 27th ult., 12.927 were in-door reopen. The amount of money to the hands of the treasurers was 78,417 f. 9e. 44. I have returns from 100 local committing, formed for the distribution of charitable aid in the cotton manufacturing districts, and I am enabled to stets that at the date of thins returns there were siding 169,141 persons who were not receiving parochial relief from the guardians of the poor, and that the weekly expenditure of the 100 com mittee' was 28,154/. 17e. 2d. The total cumber of persons therefore included in the report who are either re ceiving parochial relief or who are assisted by local committee* of clarity is 430,347, or 21.7 per cent. of the whole pops- Imre.

B. FAENALL, Special Commissioner. " P.S.—I have Jost received three other returns from local relief committed.. viz., Rochdale, Newchnrch Ira Poodle. and Whitefield, showing that during last week they relieved 13,698 penes*, and that the total amount of maw expended was 1,0681.4 X sd. I regret to say that I hays received no return from the local committee at Oldham." Mr. E. Anemone made a statement in reference to the probable 'ripely of cotton and employment during the cur rent year. Our weekly consumption during 1862 had ave. raged 22,990 bales, which compared with 1860, the last year of full working, when the weekly average was 18,700 balsa, gave a little short of three days a week. If the American blockade continued we might fairly ammo that the 'apply of 1863 mock, be similar to that of 1862,4 with such addition' only as might have been caused by Merriam or growth, 'Untw isted by high prices. Theeesupplim, the growth of 1862, wage now gathered, and being packed or brought to market. He took the estimates of Mews. Stead Brothers, of Liverpool. II appeared we received from Egypt, Braille, West Indies, kr.. 300,907 bales, and from Ida, 1,071,768. Their esti mated Mamas from the 6rat.named places was 50 per teal, or 150,000 bales ; and from the East Indies, 25 per web. is 25000 bales; total, 400.000. Prom this mulles dedneted theism amount of eta* in Liverpool now as assayers& with January, 1862, being 265,350 bales. The notable Immese for 14483 would thou be 131,650 bales. It was here siellimed that the Indian crop about to arrive would exceed *et el last year as one million was to 1,210.000 bales, Imam& ;eerier the consumption of 1862 with that of 1088. doe allowance must he made for the differenee in weight and quality of the balm East India bales averaged alxmt 2841ba. ; American about 444 Th.,, and Feet India cation COO . Mined Meer cent. atone dirt and waste. Taking 1880 as the gangs of consumption, and le easetrieg last• yeses messernp-' tion of 23,990 bales weekly with the heavy bales of 1860, we should find they hardy repreented 19,000 Was per week. In hie manner, adding the estimated 131,630, ve diould make the weakly supply of 1863 into 21,000 bales, whet the 48,700 of 1860. The inquiries he had made convinced him that all funds entrusted to this committee should be carefully husbanded. Mr. M. Ross agreed in the main with Mr. Ashworth and Mr. Ashton as to the probable supplies of cotton this you. If the American war continued, we might expect O,IY half time working for 1863. It was gratifying t while two years ago we consumed 83 per cent. of American, we had now, excluding American, a prospect of about 45 per cent. of the usual supply from other parts of the world this year. Unless lower prices should become current both for the raw material and the manufactured article, his own estimate of 22,000 bales consumption per week this year would hardly be realised. Exiatiog prices largely interfered with consumption. Considerably lower prices would, how. ever, create convulsions, of which little notice bad been taken. A fall of 23 per cent. on the stocks now in hand would be the ruin of numbers. Assuming the continuance of the war, we should require all the money that could be obtained for at lent three years to come to keep the opera tires alive. As probably many years would elapse before the supply of cotton would equal the demand of recent years, it behoved the independent operatives to tarn their attention to other forms of industry. Mr. ASHTON was of opinion that there would be amply sufficient cotton for half-time employment this year. He estimated the supply at 13,0110 bales. Mr. J. Purr said the commencement of scarcity found the continental spinners much better prepared, owing to their greater stocks, than were the English. In the last month or two of 18(12 aii increased demand for the raw ma terial becom exhausted, and it was p sprunL o p t on the continent— a proof that the stocks re werobable that the ex- porta theretofrom Liverpool would increase. Protective tariffs would enable foreign manufacturers to con-1 tinue at work longer than English, besides which they were more used to Indian cotton. I The proportion of cotton available for our own rnanufac toren during the year would from these canna be lees pro bably than was anticipated. SurJ. K. Stiumxwoirro thought that opinions such uhad been expressed on this subject, coming from and having forth* most part the approval of a committee representing, as this did, the chief landowners, capitalists, and commercial ex perience of this and a neighbouring county, could not fail to be regisnled with interest. After scene further conversation, in which members of the committee generally seemed to concur with what had been said, the subject dropped. Mr. FARNALL stated, in reply to a question from Lord DERBY, that be had been informed by the clerks of certain unions wherein a decrease of pauperism was apparent, that the decrease in question arose from increase of work. Some such arrangement SA was mentioned by Mr. Hutchinson last week was contemplated at Blackburn. He war bound to say the improvement was expected to be only temporary. la reply to • question from Lad Egerton, he added that weekly information from 27 anima showed that there was ' no such amount of contagious disease or fever se would ap pear from a recent *Moment in the Times. He proposed to communicate regularly with the medical officers of the different unions. Mr. MACLUEIt stated that a considerable quantity of port wine bad been presented to the committee. and would be distributed to fever petiolate and others for whom it was required.

Mamuou-Hotom C,oumirraz.—The total amount received during the last three days, is aid of the fund for the relief of the Lancashire operatives, is upwards of 90,0001., 16,0001. of which was received in the course of yesterday akar, and which sum was chiefly mode up by remittances from India—namely, 10,0001. from Bombay, and 4,0001. from Calcutta (being a further remittance, making a total of 19,0001.) Amongst the other subscrip tions was 2001. from Charlotte Town, Prince Edward's Island ; De la Roe and Co., 10011; collected at the,' Swiss Church, Bloomsbury, 1001. Us. BLACSBUILN.—Of 27,780 operatives employed in trade. connected with the cotton trade, 13,413 are still out of work, 4,009 are working short time, and 10,358 are fully employed. It is believed that many will also mamma work in the course of the prompt week. The adoption of the new system of relief has bad the effect of reducing the number of recipients of parochial relief, although it Mu only been in operation two days. The returns of the relieving officers, promoted to the guardians at their meeting on Saturday last, fully bore out this fact, the number relieved in the union during the week being 21,116 against 21,207 in the previous week. Of this num ber 17,364 belonged to the Blackburn relief district, 1,308 to the district of Oswaldwiatle, and 2,460 to the Over Derwen district. A deputation from the relief committee waited upon the board to inquire why the guardians bad not carried out their part of the agreement during the past week. In consequence of their not having done so many persons had only received the ordinary relief instead of the increased allowance, averaging In. 9d. per head, sad the deputation asked that the relief so given be made up, so that the poor should not suffer by the change. It was urged in reply that the time had bolo too brief to carry out the arrangement, and that the relief allowed that day for future diatritiutiou would be upon the in creased scale. The matter of making up any deficiency was, however, one which the board could not entertain as a whole, though they thoughts( giving it in a few came The deputation wished the board also to take .11 the ordi nary cases, and leave all the extraordinary 0n... arisieg oat of the oottonarisis, to the committee. At present the latter were relieving orphans and old people who, they con tended, ought to be trader the care of the guardians, as their relief of L. 6d, per bead was insufficient in such meta The guardians agreed to nodertake the rebel of this clam, and ole ress o to hod medical attendance for the whole; of the disted. Painrow.—Dnring the peat week no particular change bee taken piece ie the cotton trade of Preston. Thirty- ix of the milk are still closed. 5.255 operatives are working full time ; 579 five days per week ; 990 four ; 6,701 three; 109 two; and the remainder, 12,787, are en tirely suesployed. Than has been • slight decrease in the on:Ow of persons receiving relief from the committee, but this affords no certain indication of • definite return to better times. Lest week the committee relieved 10,711 ewes, including 39,836 persons, at • cost in provisions of 1,1971. 3L Ild As compared with the previous week, these figures show an increase of four in the mem, • de mese of 116 in the number of persons relieved, and en inereese of 251. Its. 9d. in the amount expended. Daring the verse period the committee have distributed 600 toes of fuel and 1,5001. worth of bedding and clothing. Bose.—There is a marked diminution in the distress of the Bury union. Out of 265 mills, 86 are work ing frill time, 36 are working full time, with a reduced num , her of hands, 112 are working ',hod time, and 61 are stopped altogether. During the past month there ha. been a decrease of 1,249 in the number out of work, a decrease of 3,307 in the number working short time, and as ilICZ•6110 of 4,656 in the number on full time. Several of the large milk are also extending their hours of labour. Several mills that have been stopped are resuming work, and the operatives are in hopes that the worst period of the distress is over. The reminder of the cases tried in this court presented no features of importance meriting a report. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Comnimioser Kerr.) Frederick Wood, meat salesman, surrendered to take his trial oe an indictment charging him with exposing for sale is a public market meat which was unfit for human food. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Edward Bosley appeared for the pro secution, which wee instituted by the Commissioners of Sewers for the City of Loudon, and Mr. Serjeent Ballantine (specially retained) attended with Mr. F. H. Lewis for the defence. It appeared from the opening statement of Mr. Sleigh that the prisoner, a meat salesman carrying on business in Tyler's-marketadjoining Newgate-market, bad directed that a cow should be sent to a slaughter-bouse in Holloway, to be there slaughtered and dressed for market. The cow , on its way to Holloway, became ill, but still was a bl e t one d; the slaug h ter - house, where the animal was killed. After wards the appearencee which the carcase presented were so bad that the meat was greased previous to beim seat up to market. The carcase arrived at the defendant's shop on the following day, where it was seen and seized by one of the market inspectors, as being unfit for human food. The evidence adduced to support the Lion esta blished the fact that the defendant bed se opportunity of seeing the carceme at Holloway, but not after it reached the market, where it arrived beton he (defendant) tame to bedtime, and was found hanging amongst some good meat. Mr. Commissioner Kerr stopped the eerie, and the jury immediately returned a verdict of Acquatal, and the de feedant was discharged. BOLTON.—The report of the special relief com mittee of the Poor Protection Society shows • decrease of 631 in the number of persons relieved, and • saving of 601. in the amount granted, ucompared with the previous week. The number of persons relieved was 9,317, at • cost of 5001. The committee distributed lest week 100 owL of wale, &large quantity of bedding, clothing, Am.

Jaime Tptler, 39, pleaded guilty to two indictments, charging him with embezzling various suers of mmey, the property of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail way Company. Mr. Lilley, who appeared for the prosecution, informed the court that the prisoner was employed as clerk at the goods station of the company at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the mode in which he had committed the offences to which he had pleaded guilty was by falsifying the accounts of the carmen who were sent out with_ goods, or rather by neglecting to give them the proper bills of charges, and then receiving the amounts himself, which he had no busi ness to do. The Recorder inquired the total amount of the prisoner's defalcations. Mr. Lilley mid he believed they amounted to about 201. V together. The prisoner was sentenced to twelve moothelord labour. Joie Bonito., 19, porter, and James Merritt, 27, labourer, were charged with burglanously breaking into the dwelling house of William Earl and soother, arid stealing 1,300 yards of silk, value 2001., their property. Mr. Pater conducted the prosecution ; she prisoners were defended by Mr. Daly. ' The prosecutors, in this case, carry on business as um brella manufacturers in Monkwell-street, City, and on the night of the 29th of November the warehouse was locked up as usual, no person being left upon the premises. The place was entered during the night by some pertain' clambering over the roofs of the adjoining houses and forcing open • skylight, and then obtaining access to the warehouse by meant of a rope ladder, which they left behind them, and • large quantity of silk was stolen. Os the morning of the 30th, about eight o'clock, a cab was seen to draw up close to the warehouse of the prosecutors, and the prisoner Horoby, who was in their service as porter, and two other men, were represented to have got out of the vehicle, and they were seen to place several large parcels in it, and the cab was then driven off. The principal evidence against the prisoner Hornby wu that of a young woman living in the neighbourhood, who swore positively to his being one of the men who were no doubt engaged in the robbery • and when the prisoners were taken into cusicdy, Merritt ad mitted that he was in company with bombe during the ' 1 whole of the night of the 30th of November, and they both gave contradictory statements with regard to the manner is which they had been engaged on the night in question, and one statement, that they had slept at their lodgings, was clearly proved to be false. On the part of the prisoners an attempt was made to set up an alibi, and several witnesses were examined whose evidence went to show that of d c u . a the evening the 29th of November, and until half twelve o'clock at night, they were at • public-house the Prince Regent, and that they went from this public house to • coffee-shop in the City-road, where they or mained until half-past eight o'clock on the morning of the 30th. The Recorder having summed up, the jury, after • short deliberation, found both the prisoners Not Guilty. THE BANE PAPER ZOREIET. It is expected that the trial of the six prisoners, George Bundler, Robert Cummings, William Barnett, Richard Brewer, James Griffiths, and Henry Williams, who are charged with stealing a quantity of Bank of England note paper from the mills at which it is manufactured at Laverstock, in Hampshire, and also with having endeavoured to carry out se extensive system of forging Bank of England notes, will take place to-morrow morning. Sir Fitaoy Kelly and Mr. Bovril. Q.C., am specially retained, with Mr. Giffard and Mr. Matthew, to conduct the prosecution pre behalf of the Bank of England. Serjeant Ballasting is specially retained, with Mr. F. IL Lewis sad Mr. D. D. Uses, to defend the prisoner Brewer ; Mr. Pater and Mr. Greenock are retained to defend Boucher ; and Mr. R. T. Smith will defend Cummings. The other prisoners are undefended. Among the charges that will be preferred egpinst the prisoners are that of feloniously forging certain mike of the Governor and Company of the Bank of Reg ina, with having feloniously and without lawful SEIM .sad authority in their possession divers sheets of paper, the words "Bank of England" being visible in the substance of wash paper. They will also be charged with feloniously having in their possession divers sheets of paper upon which there was an impression of certain words, figures, numbers and ornaments resembling a Bask of England note. The prisoners will also be charged with having forged Bank of England notes feloniously in their possession, and.likewise with being feloniously in peonsasios of eis epos which portions of the motel:its of a Bank of l note were en graved. There are more than sixty vitalism to be examined for the prosecution, and the trial will last two, if not titres days. NEW COURT. (Before T. Chambers, Esq., Q.C., Common Serjeant.) Louis Geyer 40, electro.plater, was indicted for kilo slowly having in his possession certain instrument. for the manufacture of counterfeit coin. Mr. Clerk, with whom was Mr. Poland (instructed by the Solicitor to the Mint), conducted the prosecution, and the prisoner was, defended by Mr. Utley. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Brennan, inspect ing to the Mint authorities, that on the 6th December lest he went, accompanied by several police-officers, to the resklestos of the prisoner in • retired place knows as Leslie's gardens, Bermondsey, about 9 o'clock in the morn ing. The house consisted of three rooms, one above another, and on Mr. Brennan reaching the top room he hand two g alvanic batteries, properly charged with acids, ladles wi th white Metal recently fused, plaster of Parks, antimony, sand, film. and all the usual implements wed by the makers of counterfeit coin. The prisoner was himself apprehended while attempting to escape from the window of the second-floor room, b 7 Sergeant Leathers, of the P division , to whom he said, Oh, dear, I thought I had got out of the old (meaning Brennan) way. I naves thought he would have found me out here. So help me God, I have not been making for two or three days ; but it is a fortunate job that you mom so only, for had von cane • little later you would have had me all to rights ;but you will find enough to get me committed for trial, but I .shall be ' turned up' "—a slang term for acquitted. - The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but the Common . flerjeant deferred sentence, in order that the opinion of the Courtfor Crown Cases Reserved might be taken as to whe ther the galvanic batteries found on the prisoner's premises 11111110 within the 24th section of the 24th and 25th Victoria, dos, a machine for the making of counterfeit coin. &stenos was accordingly deferred. Elizabeth Pike, married, was found Guilty on an in dictment charging her with feloniously uttering counterfeit tam. Mr. Cranford and Mr. Poland prosecuted ; and Mr. P. N. Lewis defended. In reply to the court, Yr. Braman Meted that be had known the prisoner ever since the par 1858, and had fre quently seen her in custody for uttering base coin, and that she had several times been convicted, and on the last she had undergone a sentence of 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The Common Serjeant, in passing sentence, told the pri soner that she was an moarigible offender who would not take warning from what she bad already undergone. From the document before him it was manifest that since the year 1838 her whole time had been taken up in the commis sion of crime and its expiation . in prison. Under such circum stances he should tail in h i duty to the public if be did not pass a sentence of severity, and that sentence was, that she be kept in penal servitude for the term of five • . MANSION-HOUSE. Orisratitt, • well-dreiwed, respectable-looking man, about 35 years of age, was brought up on • charge of forging two bills of exchange for 3001. and 68/., purporting' to be accepted by Joseph Beach, of Worcester shire, with intent to defraud blame Spooner and Co. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Wontuer attended on behalf of the prisoner. Josh. Beach stated that he carried co business as a miller at Dudley, in Worcestershire. He was • customer of Mr. Turner, bp whom the . prisoner was employed, and he always transacted business through the pri soner. The two bills produced were very much like his writing, bat they were not accepted by him, nor by his authority. He owed Mr. Turner :4681, 4s. on the 12th Nov., sad on the 12th December he gave the prisoner a cheque for 3651. 13a 4d. which was that sum bee the discount, and he produced his receipt. The prisoner was remanded. WESTMINSTER. Catherine Harrington, a dirty, diminutive woman, was brought before the magistrate charged with being drunk and begging in 00'10w-square. Police-constable William Kemp, 238 B, stated that on the previous afternoon be was attracted by an outcry from Onslowsquere, and on going there found the prisoner fol lowing a lady, who was going to church. Prisoner as she walked after the lady was swearing at her. Mr. Arnold—Did you hear what for? What did she my? Constable—She was swearing at her for refusing to give her a penny to buy bread. The prisoner was chunk, and I immediately took her from the lady. On her way to the station-house the prisoner mid that she had come from Hammersmith that morning, and had got no home. At the time she was following and swearing at the lady the prisoner was accompanied by another woman with a child without shoes or stockings, but she went away directly I came up. Mr. Arnold—Did you see the accused beg of soy one else? Wittier —I did not; but I was, after sbe was in cus tody, informed that she had been annoying a gentleman at his house in Onslow-square, and had created a disturb ance there. Mr. Arnold—What was her conduct in going to the station-house? - Witness—She made a great disturbance as she went through the streets. She was altogether very noisy and troublesome. Mr. Arnold (to prisoner)—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l have got nothing to ray. Mr. Arnold—Your conduct is very tad ; it is • very mandalous case. Had the charge of begging been dis tinctly made out I would have given youths severest punish ment, but as it is not, I commit you for seven days for being drunk and riotous. SOUTHWARK. A smart-looking young fellow, who gave the name of John Perry, WU brought before kr. Burnham charged with stealing • watch from the person of Robert Thompson, at the entrance of the Surrey Theetre. The prosecutor said that on Saturday evening last he came from Brixton with • friend to witness the perform ances at the Surrey Theatre. There was a great crowd waiting outside at the time for the doors to open, and while witness was standing among the people a young man came up to him and pointed to a board, on which was set forth that persons could enter that way to avoid the crowd on the payment of a small extra sum. Witness pot his bawd in his pocket for the purpose of taking out the money to pay for his admission, when the prisoner aims forcibly in front of him, and snatched his watch, and passed something to the other. He turned round to the prisoner and mired him, and charged him with stealing him watch. He replied that he did not steal the watch, but if he came with himoutsidethe crowd be would show him the chap who stole it. Witmer, told him be should not let him go as he maw him steal it, and he bad no doubt he passed it to the other man who ran off. A police-constable then came up, and be gave him into custody. Police-constable 186 L said be saw • disturbance among the crowd at the Surrey Theatre, and on arriving there the persecutor gave the prisoner into custody for steaks( his watch. He searched the prisoner, but nothing was toned on him. He asked for a remand, to enable him to appre hend the man who made his ammo The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, or having any connexion with the other man. Mr. Benham remanded him until Thursday next. THAMES. Captain Randall Stow, the master, Louie Lou, • foreigner, the mate, and Henry Francis, boatswain, of the ship Ma rtha Pope, from Honduras, were brought up on a writ of habeas corpus from Newgate, charged with man slaughter in causing the death of • youth named William Curtis by ill-usage and neglect on the high seas, and the depositions being completed were committed for trial. SINGULAR CASE OAP MISTAKEN IDENTITY. A moot remarkable case of mistaken identity has occurred at Kilmer:love, hi Hampshire. in which it was supposed that • tailor at Trowbridge, named Jacob Long, had bees drowned in a mill dam, a dead body having bees found there. It appears that • man who gave the name of Jacob Long, and who stated that he come from Trowbridge, Wilts, applied for relief at the Kings clove workhouse, and was placed in the casual ward. After breakfast on the following day he left, and beyond being seen in Hingscleve nothing more was heard of him. However, on Christmas morning it was stated that • baker in Biogscleve, named Martin Palmer, bad disappeared, sod could Dot be found. Inqui ries were made, and it was ascertained that Palmer had, on the day immediately before his disappearance, been to the workhouse and left • loaf as • sample of • tender for supplying the union. It appears that there was • great re semblance between the men—Palmer, of Hingscleve, and Long, of Trowbridge—and when the body was taken from the mill dam it was believed to be that of the latter. An inqueat was held on the body in the name of Jacob Long, and the jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased, Jacob Long, was found drowned, lbut how he got into the water there was no evidence to show. The coroner's warrant for the burial of the body was made out, but jest before it was re. moved • juryman thought he would take • last look at the body, as be was not altogether satisfied it was that of Jacob Long. The result of his inspection was a perfect conviction that the coroner and jury bad been mistakes in the identity of the deceased, and that the body before him was Dot that of Long, of 'Trowbridge. In order, however, to be thoroughly satisfied of the accuracy of his surmise, the wife at Palmer was sent for, and she at once identified the body of her husband. Palmer's body was removed to his native village for burial, bet it was thought that a second inquest would have to he held. Tale bitranza ?raiz Wloax.—There appears to b some doubt whether the coroner can bold an inquest, as 00 one can say that the bones found in the furnace are those of Barton, and there is no body of which the jury can "have the view." The direct way from the cabin to the furnace is through a small doorway half • dozen yards away, &edemas a plank on to the boilers, the descent to the fire. bole being then by a flight of steps. It is probable that the murderers threw Barton down into the fire-hole from the plank just mentioned, and, unites they fell after him, it is certainly possible that be was then alive and was living when put into the formai, as finfirr-Inerksharn boon noticed on the begrimed wall of the boderhome near this spot, and other indications that a living person bad fallen from the platform. The police ham not yet obtained any clue to the miscreants implicated in the old man's death. DEATH FROM STRYCHNINE—Lest night an ad journed inquest was held before Dr. Lankester, at the Mid dlesex Hospital, relative to the death of George Heinsett, in the service of Messrs. Hopkins and Williams, wholesale druggist., New Cavendish-street, whose death was caused by strychnine. The evidence showed that on Christmas eve the deceased and some shopmatei partook of some boor on the premises, though its admission was prohibited by the firm, On Friday morning deceased expressed a wish for some beer, when a youth named Collis pointed to a bottle from which the beer bad been taken, and which bottle was in a room where strychnine was kept. Each of them drank some of it, when Collis left. In a few minutes afterwards a heavy fall was beard in the room • and upon an assistant imed Brown going there, deceased was found on the floor. He was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, and seen by Mr. Devereux, the resident surgeon, who at once saw that be was suffering from the effect@ of strychnine. He died in a few hours. Collis, who seoompanied deceased to the hos. pital, was suffering from similar symptoms to the de ceased, but recovered. Mr. Devereux deposed that on an analysis of the contents of the stomach he discovered appearance. such as would be the result of strychnine, and in this opinion he was confirmed by Professor Taylor, who found strychnine. He gave a por tion of the beer to goioes pigs, each of which died in • few minutes. The jury returned a verdict " that death was mused by strychnine, but how it was administered there was not sufficient evidence to show." ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN • LIVERPOOL CIRCUS.— As accident occurred in Hengler's Cirque Varike os Fri day night. The Nicolo troupe were going through the " perch feats," and whilst they were so engaged, one per former having gained the summit of the pole, and another having made a partial ascent, the man whose duty it was to keep the pole in a perpendicular position from his belt allowed it to lose its perpendicular, and the performers were thrown violently into the ring. Fortunately no serious injury resulted, but the men were very much bruised.

It is onr painful duty to chronicle a very har rowing occurrence which took place on Saturday morning at Greenock, by which four children of one family have been suffocated. The following me the partiwlan William Wood, belonging to Paisley but for the lest eleven years residing in Greenock, a cau lker, in the employ of Mears. Robert Steele and Co., shipbuilders, resided with his wife and five children at 5, Shaw-street, a few doors west from the Rue-cod, south side. While be follows hie occupation Mrs. Wood carries on a small green-grocery business. The premises consist of the shop to the front, • kitchen behind, and an intermediate apartment, when Mr. and Mrs. Wood slept, the children sleeping in • tent-bed in the kitchen. On Friday night, between eight and nil* o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Wood went out to • party, to the house of Mr. Robert Simpson, spirit merchant, Settie's Land, LUtheartatreet, within a few hundred yards of their shop, taking with them George, aged 1 ears, their eldeit child. They left their four younger children at home in charge of the house, the shop being shut up. Them children were—James, aged 12, William, 9, 'Ahem, 5, and Grace, 3 years ; Sarah M'Geor.h, aged 12, a cousin, who had come from Paisley on the previous day to visit them, was also in the house, making five children in all. They were amusing themselves in the absence of their parents, and that to an extent that was noisy, inducing a neighbour to call them to be quiet. It appeared however, to have been the ordinary amusement in which children will indulge when left alone under similar circumstances. About one Ogock in the morning 13eorge was despatched from Mr. Simpson's, to seeltbat all wee right with the children at borne, and on going down he found that Grace, the youngest, had been put to bed, the girl M'Geoch was stripping Lillian to put her to bed also. and they were all on the eve of retiring to rest, and the 6re in the grate was quite out ; and this was the condition of the house when be left to return to Mr. Simpson's, after remaining only • short time. Being the holiday sew* the party sat keg, and on Mr. Wo ad returning to his house about five ealock in the morn ing, he knocked, but could not obtain admission. He went to the beck window, which was stanchioned. On get ting the sash up • little he felt the woodwork inside quite warm, and the kitchen densely filled with smoke. Aided by some neighbours be soon obtained admission by forcing in the front door. Nothing was wrong is the shop, or in the intermediate apartment, where lay the girl, leGeoch, in bed unharmed. He found the door leading from that apartment into the kitchen shut, and on forcing it in, he found the kitchen filled with smoke. The gas had been screwed out, but fire bed been smouldering on the door, a little to the right side, and in front of the fireplace, and this fire had communicated to and charred all the front of a cheat of drawers, on the top of which stood a bookcase filled with books. The floor was burned through, forming a cavity of about thirty inches in diameter, and this seems to have been the wet of the fire. The introduction of fresh air into the apartment caused the hitherto smouldering fare to blase up, but a neigh bour pulled down the bookowe and drawers, and • few bucket& of water soon arrested sat danger. Opposite to the fireplace stood the bed in which lay the four children of Mr. Wood, and on rushing to saoartain their cooditioo he found them rigid and dead, having every appearance of having died convulsively from suffocation by the smoke. The four bodies were instantly removed to the house of Mr. Simpson. Drs. M'Fise and Lochhead were woo on the spot., but though a slight pulsation was discernible in the boy James. he was put recovery. The feelings of the bereaved parents, who are industrious, well doing people, may be better imagined than described. The origin of tbo fire may have been a match thrown on the door among some clothing, but this is merely conjectural. The circumstance has thrown a deep gloom over the whole town. This is not the time to moralise on the subject, but we may say that the awful occurrence affords • solemn lesson to pareota. The Procurator-Fiscal was immediately put is possession of the facts, and will make the usual examina tion which devolves oo BrilieA Daily Mad. THE NEWCASTLE MURDER. The remains of the murdered woman, Margaret Docherty, were interred in All Saints Cemetery, Newcastle, lon Sunday morning. The hearse arrived at the dead-house at 11 o'clock, and the corpse was followed to the grave by the busbaod and two sons of the deceased. The miter. titivate woman was a native of Ireland, and her maiden name was Kennedy, but prior to her marriage, which took place in 1832, she lived in Glasgow. On the last day of the old year her husband, who is a tailor, left home to go to his work at nine a.m., leaving his wife in the house. At 6 o'clock she took him his tea to the work shop, and at seven o'clock she called again, and he then gave her three shillings. He left his work at 8 p.m., and went and drank a pint or two of ale at the Adelaide Hotel, in New gratretreet, where be remained until nearly 12 o'clock. His wife called at the same house at half-pent 11 o'clock, and she was then under the influence of liquor. She left the house with her husband, and on the way towards home he remonstrated with her for not having spent the three shillings to greater advantage than in getting drunk. As they walked up Oallowgate she said she wound have more drink, and in order to carry out her intection she went into Ireland's public-house. Her husband took hold of her in order to pull her back again, but he was knocked down by one of three men whom be could not identify. He then went home, and he saw her no more until he saw her dead at the Dead.house an Friday afternoon, the 2nd of January. It will bosun, therefore, that the only time during which she is tuneociunted for, is between the hour of 12 o'clock p.m. and 2 a.m. The man George Vase ins again brought before the borough magistrate. yesterday. A large crowd surrounded the polio...Zee in expectation of catching a glimpse of the prisoner as he was being conveyed from the prison to the office ; and in a minute or two after the open ing of the doors every part of the court itself was filled, moat of those present being of the lowest clan, by whom the disgusting details were received with avidity. The pro ceedings resulted in the prisoner being committed fee trial on the charge of " Wilful murder." THE WORSBOROUGH COLLIERY CATASTROPHE. There in very little to report (says the Sheffield Ksdrpendenl of yesterday) in reference to the proceedings at Edmund's Main. The water is flowing steadily into the mine from the trench connected with the adjacent stream. and measures are being taken to increase the volume of water very Inanely, and so expedite the tedious operation of flooding the workings. The water wee conveyed in large pipes, laid at a depth of fourteen or fifteen feet ; but the quantity poured into theshaft by this means has mot bees found sufficient speedily to accomplish the ohne:Ain view, and men have been set to work to reopen the trendy sad when this has been done, as much water as can poinaliy be di verted into the trench will be thrown into the mine. The cupola shaft has been rendered perfectly air tight, and there are several feet of water epos the clay pud dling above the furnace drift. In one of the up-cast shafts an aperture, closed by a sort of wooden safety video, has been left, in order to test the air from time to time. A test which was made a day or two ago showed th►t a great quantity of gas has been generated in the miss. The imp tithe valve was removed for our special edification, and the imprisoned air and gas rushed forth with the force of • f ur mos blast. It is not expected that even with the great volume of water that will be poured in during next week the water will be " roofed" for ten or twelve days yet, and the pumping out will be a still more tedious process. Great difficulty will no doubt be experienced in emptying the dip boantates, which are much below the level of the other parte of the mine. The subscription for the relief of the sufferers has now reached the handsome sum of 1.3001. We regret to learn that the proper distnbution of the fund has been hitherto prevented by the course taken by the poar.law guardians. It is alleged that they have sought to throw the support of the bereaved in a greet measure, if sot entirely, upon the relief fund. The committee who have the superintendence of the fund maintain that the guardians have nothing what ever to do with their operations, but that they ought to relieve the sufferers as they would any other " destitute" persona, without reference to the amounts which may be granted out of the subscriptions. At the meeticg to °resales the subscription, held on the 11th of Do:em ber, it was resolved to set on foot a public subscription in aid of the surviving sufferers, "in addition to such parochial relief as may be granted by the authorities of the district." The course of the committee was thus clearly dr fined. On the other band, it is alleged that as persons moot claim relief from the union funds until they are en tirely " destitute," as long u the bereaved are receiving re lief from the committee they cannot be looked upon as destitute persons, and have accordingly no legal claim. How ever, the guardians have granted relief to some of the claim ants, but only for a fortnight., or until their next meeting; and the Rev. W. Benham, the incumbent of the Dale, has distributed two sums of money which were sent to be applied for the relief of the "immediate necessities" of the sufferers, the fund proper being left in bank to await the course taken by the guardians, A settlement of the question Is iutperativolv demauded, in order that unne cessary sutferiog may not 1343 inflicted upon the widowesod orphans who have been so suddenly rendered destitute. We have great pleasure in stating that her Majesty the Queen has sent a munificent contribution to the fund. The Rev.

Sir George Grey forwarded the letter to Sir Charles Phipps, who communicated with Mr. Benham, ask ing to be supplied with some further information and the list of subscripttons.
