THE CHOLERA. The diminution in deaths from both cholera and diarrhea noted yerterday, still continues and infamies. The raged returns show that there were on Sainnity only 51 deaths Area chola*, end If from dianhoia the do ses iu.tha more malignant disease being 9 from the pre vious day. The following are the classified returns for lihdorday Choli Went districts North &striate Central disnists East districts 3B South districts 8 Diarrlam. 3 7 6 Total in Lcadon Yesterday Mann. Warm Brothers, d FenehureD ebase, merchants, presented through Mame Roberts, Lubbock, and Co., bankers, the munificent sum of 5004. to the Cholera Belie f Fund now being raised at the Mansion- Loose. Laid evening the fund bad risen from 11,6004. on Saturday to upwards of 13,0001. That u the result of the sabscaipties which has been flowing in there for barely a fortnight, under the auspices of the Lord Mayor and the committee. The sum received yestaday, and at the various bankers, was upwards of 1,0001. A letter addressed to the Lord Mayor by Mrs. Gladstone, under date of the 17th inst., Ins MAL Mrs. Gladstone s tated, that having seen with Feat pleasure and intend the leading part be bad taken an the present emergency, and how heartily the public had supported him, she ventured to plead in behalf of the free Orphaairge to be permanently established. He must, she add, be well aware of the permanent maw where children bad been deprived of both parents, and who, as far as could be ascertained, had no means of support from relatives or friends. These children belonged to very poor districts, and to throw them upon the parish would be to impose • burden upon those who could ill sustain it. In other in stances of total neglect she need hardly dwell upon the fu ture. She perceived, she said, that the Lord Mayor bad received certain funds for the formation of • home or - Orphanage, and she ventured to reiterate , her opinion, already expressed in bar letter to the newmapers, that it would be wise to con centrate these funds with the view to the establishment of " one free Orplasans." Upon them grounds she hoped she might solicit hie advocacy and support. The commu nication of Mrs. Gladstone gave rise to • somewhat ani mated conversation in the committee, and eventually they pared a resolution to the effect that having had under consideration an application from Mrs. Gladstone to sub sesibe to an Orphanage to be raised under her =spied they regretted that while they could not but sympathim with bee benevolent motives, they did not feel justified at that moment in making any contribution from funds plead by the public at their dispose/ Dr. Andrew Clark, phy sician to the Loudon Hospital, subsequently stated ino dentall,y that 11 fresh oases of cholera had been received into the institution that morning within the previous 14 boars and that five of them were as virulent as any that had been previously treated there. Among the subscrip tions received yesnarday at the Mansion - house were the following Mesas. Reed and 1051. ; the Ea and idia West India Dock Company, 1051.; Find the Bev. E. Hol land, 60/.; collection at All Saint's Church, 601. Only two death. took place at the London Hospital during the 24 hours ending yesterday forenoon, but the number at new cases admitted were greater than on Sun diy, and the persona discharged cured were fewer. The admissions were 9, as against 5 on Sunday ; the recoveries were only 2 ; on Sunday they were 6. The outdoor palienta were 117. Of cholera patients 76, and of these sof /Ming from choleraic diarrhcea 32, remain inthe wards, the total being 106. The returns to the Board of Health of the Whitechapel district show that during the week end ing on Saturday, August 18, 90 cases of cholera and 1,659 of - diarrhoea were treated by the medical staff appointed by the board. The deaths were 43. During the previous week the deaths were 17/ ; the cases of cholera, 148 ; and of diarrhoea 1,841. The reduction which has taken place is, therefore, very considerable. The cases treated in the district by private practitioners are, of course, not in cluded in these figures ; but from returns made by a number of the medical men in local practice, it appears that the number of the sick has diminished as well as the per eentage of deaths. The report for the past week of the medical officer of health in Dublin, Dr. Mspother, states that cholera was imported into that city en the 26th of July, in the person of Jane Magee, who had come direct from LiveepooL From that tame up to Saturday there had been in all forty eases ; seven of the most decided were persons from Liverpool, and three at least, without doubt, contracted the disease from them. The outbreak has demonstrated, in Dr. Mapother's opinion, that the malady is " com municable, or catching." The deaths have been 25 out of the 40 cases, or 62 per cent. The localities where the persons were attacked were various, but mostly in back ward porta of the city. The officer of health has recom mended the erection of a hot-air chamber for the fineige then of the bedding and clothes found with the cholera patients ; also the providing of a refuge for the families of those carried off by the disease. The municipal council Me about to comply with these suggestions. Only one fresh case is reported from the country districts south of Dublin, and one from Belfast. A special report on the Public Health Act has been circulated by the Irish govern ment for general information. It describes the powers given under the enactment to local boards for the removal of nuisances, and urges the immediate enforcement of the provisions of the statute. Ono fetal case of cholera occurred on Saturday in Dublin. In Belfast, also, the disease has again made its appear sues ; while a third death occurred at Atby on Satur day. A third case of cholera was reported at Exeter on Saturday. There have been various rumours as to other cams, but on inquire they have been found to be incorrect, and area those deaths which have been reported as result ing from cholera were not, according to the opinion of several of the surgeons in the city, the result of_ that diheese. birresB SUFFERING.—On Saturday evening a labourer, whose name is at present unknown, was brought to Guy's Hospital from the tunnel near Sevetioake, in Kent, with his head frightfully crushed from the falling of a heavy brick from the roof while he was engaged with other labourers in some necessary repairs. On his admis sion to the hospital his struggles and cries were frightful It required the united strength of six men to hold him down, and even then he managed to break the bathman's finger, to bite and wretch the doctor, and to grasp the sister of the ward so tightly by the t hroat that the mark still remains. After a few hours of intense suffering he expired, the medical officers being unable to operate on him. Although he has been for some time in the service of the company, he is unknown to them, sod has only been recognised amongst his fellow workmen as " Tom." There was found upon him a letter from a young woman belong ing to one of the boarding-houses attached to Eton College, who was evidently his sweetheart. It is couched in terms of warm affection, and concluded with the expression of * hope that th . ff should shortly meet never to part again. A MAN KILLED BY THE ROYAL TRAIN.—The train Com eying the Prince and Princess of Wales to the North on Saturday morning was the cause of a fatality to an unfortunate collier, just before it reached New castle. Their royal highnesses were due at this town shortly after three in the morning, and while peeling Haworth Station, the morning being very dark, the engine. driver felt the engine receive a slight shock from some thing on the line. Nothing could be observed, and the interruption caused no diminution of the speed of the train, which proceeded on to Newcastle. As soon as the engine was detached, it proceeded to the spot where the shock to the train bad occurred, and there found the body of a man lying on the rails, frightfully mutilated. Its con dition was such as to prove that death must have been in etinteneous. It was afterwards ascertained that the body was that of a man named Green, who was employed at ITsworth Colliery, and who had been in the act of either gotng to or returning from work when he wee run over and killed by the royal train. The train being a special he would Eit apprehend any &mng at that time in the morning. SALISBURY AND YEOVIL RAILWAY.—The report of the directors to be presented at the half-yearly meeting on the 24th inst.,aaya :—From the report of the engineer, the proprietors will observe that the doubling of the line is rapidly advancing towards completion ; the only portion which now, inpoint of fact, remains to be finished, is that from Gi ll in po gham to Templeoombe, a distance of 61 miles, which it is expected will be ready for opening before the close of the year. The gross earnings for the half year to 30th June, 1866, averaged &V. Bs. per mile per week, or 34,8381. 3s. 111. ; the earnings for the corresponding half-year of 1865 were 28/. per mile per week, or 29,1221. 15s. 7d., showing an increase of 20 per cent., or 5,715/. 7a. 64 ; the traffic for the year ending 30th June, 1868, is equal to 34/. 19,. sd. per mile per week or 72,7511.185.

After deducting working expenses, passenger duty, inte rest, and all other char ges , the accounts for the half-year now presented show a balance of 13,709/. 12s. 2d. ; the balance on revenue from last half year is 4,3001. 135. 4d. ; available for dividend, 18,010/. ss. &I. The dividend on the 5 per Gent. preference shares (1860) will absorb 3,7501.; that to be paid to the holders of the 5 per cent. preferece dares, issued under the provisions of the act of 1854, will require 983/. 2a. 8d leaving 10071. 35.: out of which the directors recommend that a dividend be declared on the ordinary shares, at the rate of li per cent. per annum, which will amount to' 9,7981.

In the report submitted to the shareholders in August of bat year, the directors announced that they had, in con sequence of the steady increase of traffic, declined an offer ofthe London and South Western Railway Company to pinhole the line at 5 per cent. They are confirmed in the propriety of their decision, as they are enabled to de *Aire the present dividend of 8 per cent. per annum. The dividend warrants will be paid on and after the 27th inst. •FAILLIILE or A OAETLE INSUILLECE SOCIETY.— TIM Staffordshire Mutual Cattle Insurance Association is Out to break up. The apathy of the farmers was auk that Earl Litchfield, at the Stafford Sessions, on Saturday, withdrew his name from it. Nothing definit e to been announced as to the funds, but it presumd til e premiums, less expenses, will be returned to the in- Salmi 'salt Military. THE PALLING OP A HOUSE IN HOLBORN.

Mr. E. W. James, eolicitor,•• Ely-place, and Mr. L H. Isaacs, architect, Grars- inn, reprensted Mean. Ledger and Clarke, the lessees. Mr. L. Lewis, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the friends of the woman Davis and Mr. CHATHAM, Amor, 20. WITHDRAWAL Or THE DEPOT BILTI'ALIONS PROM lanahh.—ln accordance with the decision of the govern ment to withdraw the whole of the depot battalions of infantry troops from Ireland, the depot companies of the 2nd battalion of the 17th Regiment and the 106th Bom bay Light Infantry arrived at this garrison late last night from Mullingar, having been conveyed from Dublin in the chartered steamer Lady Wodehouse. This morning M►jor-General A. B. Stransham, Inspec tor-General of Royal Marines, resumed his inspection of this division of Royal Marines Light Infantry by a grand review and field-day of the whole of the officers and men on the great lines. Buxton, solicitor: was professionally engaged by Signor Gitiseppe Guansizolli, the employer of the deceased Cam% - William Andrews was the first witness examined. He mid he had resided at No. 6, Ely-court, but at present he lived in No. 5, in the same court. He was the brother- in law of Elizabeth Davis, who was 54 years of age. Mrs. Davis had resided in No. 6, Ely-court, and used to support herselLby domestic service. The house, No. 6, Ely-court, fell about seven o'clock on Thursday morning. Giuseppe Guanairolli, of No. 106, Hatton-garden, was produced for the purpose of identifying the body of Caaar ielli. . _ The witness Andrews wu re-examined, and stated that he saw no rucks or rotten beams in No. 6, Ely-oourt. He went to bed on Monday night at eleven O'clock. - His son slept in the same room on the first floor. Mrs. Davis slept in the back room of the same floor. He had been sleeping three years in the room, and never imagined the house would have fallen down. He never knew that the walls were shored up in any way. When the house fell he heard a little noise, and nothing more. The walls fell in and out after the ceiling had come down, and witness " put himself together" and prepared for death. He subse quently got out of bed, but be could not get his clothes and was obliged to wait until the police came and t:l 4 ped him to get them. He rented the room of Messrs. er and Clarke, and paid 3s. 9d. a week rent. He could not give any definite opinion as to the cause of the falling of the house. The witness in reply to Mr. Lewis said he had 'seen Mr. Ledger after the accident and had told him it was a bad job. He had not asked Mr. Ledger for anything. Helms not aware that No. 5, Ely-court, was unsound. He knew that No. 6 wee an old house, but he did not know it bad been propped. Signor Guandrolli was again produced. He said his attention had been often called to the house. He told Mr. Clarke, one of the lessees, about 15 months ago, that he thought the house was most likely to fall down, and that somebody would be killed. He thought the house would fall because there was a rotten beam between the house in question and Mr. Benjamin's house next door. This "strut" or beam fell down. There were cracks in the walls, the gutter wee bad, and there was an overflow which came into his (witness's) premises. The gutters were repaired 16 months ago after he had spoken to the district sur veyor. He had always thought the house would come down some day or other, and although he expressed his opinion on the subject in the presence of the surveyor's clerk, nothing was done. When the hovee fell he heard a fearful crash, and on going to his door he was nearly Buffo csted by the dust. By Mr. Lewis—He called the attention of Meagre. Ledger and Clarke to the house on several occasions, but they appeared to take no notice of what he said to them. Other persons in the neighbourhood also spoke about the unsafe condition of the house. He believed that if a very small expenditure had been made in repairing the house the accident would not have occurred. There were several cracks in the walls. He had known the house thirty-five years, and had not seen M. expended in its repair during that time. The inhabitants of the court were very poor, and could not afford to spend five shi ll ings in repairs of any kind. The landlord did not seem to Dare about anything but his rent. By Mr. James—He did not think it was his business to point out to Messrs. Ledger and Clarke the cracks in the walls, but he had called their attention to the dan gerous condition of the walla three years ago and sixteen months ago. John Clarkson said he was clerk to Mr. Porter, the dis trict surveyor of Holborn and East Strand. On the sth of May, 1863, he had an interview with Signor Guanzirolli. That gentleman said to him, " I do not want to do any thing unneighbourly ; but what do on think of these premises ?" meaning the house No. 6, Ely-court. Witness examined the walls, and told him he did not think it was a case that should be reported to the commissioner of po lice. He bad visited the ruins of the premium, and was of opinion that the wall of the first floor had fallen. By Mr. Lewis—He had no intimation from Messes. Ledger and Clarke in reference to the state of the house. He should not have had any hesitation in sleeping in No. 6 three years ago. He did not think the other houses were likely to fall, and he had not heard they were coming down. By Mr. James—A house might fall from some latent Cause. John George Sheehy deposed he lived at present at 119, Cromer-street. He had lived at No. 6, Ely-court. He had felt a kind of shaking in the upper floors a week or ten days previous to the accident. He had lived eight months in the house, but bad heard nothing in reference to its state. Martha Small, who said she had lived at No. 6, Ely court, stated she had no home at present. She was in the house when it fell, and thought it came in from the side. Henry William Fox volunteered to give evidence. He said his wife took a room in November last at No. 6, Ely court, and after they bad been there a couple of weeks they beard a crackling noise between the wainscot and the wall. There was a hole in the floor through which his wife fell, and was permanently disabled. Mrs. Davis fell through the same bole, and she previously said to his wife in his presence that if they did not get out of the house they would be all buried alive. The hole had been repaired, but not properly. Robert May, louilder, of No. 24, Holyford-row, was produced by Mr. Jenne, and deposed to having: l oll an old gutter from and put a new gutter in No. 6, Ely court. He said be saw nothing unsafe in the condition of the walls or roof of the house. By Mr. Lewis—He would not swear that there were not two cracks in the walls. Benjamin Bryant, Inspector of the S division of police, deposed to having gone to the scene of the accident about 8 o'clock on the morning on which it occurred. It was said that moans had been heard, and from that time up to 4 o'clock 20 men were employed in removing the ruins of the house. The Rev. Dr. Worthington here observed that it appeared to him that the woman Davis could have been taken out alive. When be went to the scene of the accident he found only four men occupied in removing the rubbish, and they had only a very inconsiderable quantity stowed away. The woman remained among the ruins from seven until two. The men were working with the greatest pos sible slowness, and he had to give them money for drink to stimulate their exertion.. He was of opinion that if sufficient energy had been used from seven until three, the woman would have been removed alive. Inspector Bryant said the work in which the men were engaged was very dangerous, and they could not have got on otherwise than slowly, as they had no room. Dr. Worthington said five or six efficient labourers could have done the work properly. Signor Guanairolli said the men employed by the police were unfit. Dr. Worthington did not blame Inspector Bryant, who, he believed, had acted admirably on the occasion, but be thought life should have been risked for life in a bolder manner than appeared to have been the case at the accident. The coroner said that if the jury thought any further evidence was necessary he would adjourn the inquiry, and they could in the meantime examine the premises them selves to see if any one was to blame for the falling of the house. There was no possibility of their returning a ver dict of manslaughter, but they could ascertain whether Messrs. Ledger and Clarke had been guilty of neglect. The jury, through their foreman, expressed a wish to retire ; and after a short deliberation they returned with their verdict, which was to the effect that the deaths of the deceased persons arose from accidental causes. The jury added that " there was a want of proper attention on tte part of the landlords of the house No. 6, Ely-court, Messrs. Ledger and Clarke, in not replacing a beam or strut which had fallen down sixteen months ago, and which had evidently supported the walls of the said house." The proceedings then terminated. A public meeting, convened by the Rev. J. W. Laughlin, rector of St. Pater's, Saffron-hill, and Mr. Alfred Barough and Mr. H. W. Cottrell, churchwardens, was held last evening, in the Infants' Schoolroom, beneath St. Peter's Church, to take into consideration the best means to aid the sufferers by the falling of the house, No. 6, Ely-court, Holborn. A large number of the parishioners and others attended, and subscriptions amounting to over 121. were received. The following are the families who have suffered by the accident:-small, (porter), wife and daughter ; everything injured, and some things totally destroyed, estimated loss 101. G. W. ' Sheehy, much bruised, having a wife and niece to support, the former being at present in hospital. His proPerty, the estimated loss of which is 4/. 10a., was totally de. Aro ed. Mrs. Edwards, very much injured. She has six children, who are at present in the workhouse. Her esti mated loss is 71. A carpenter named Andrew, and his son, lost property of the value of 141. 10a. Banner, a nailer, having • wife and four children, escaped unhurt, but their property, estimated at 121., was totall7 destroyed. The total estimated loss of the poor people is 481. HIOHLLNDERS' LETSZIL POSTING.—Queer scenes are to be seen at the Post-office at Wick, especially on Saturday evenings, when hundreds of letters are posted by the Highland fishermen. When the penny postage we. first established, our then worthy postmaster Mr. Craig, had many a hard night's work among the AL/Wanders, who illustrated their prigging character by en vouring to beat down the postage to • halfpenny, alleging that the letter was a little one, and that the Highland postmaster never charged more than • halfpenny. From the out stations beyond the daily delivery they would come and while one would ask if there was • letter for him, he would answer to the interrogatory as to his name, " Och, yell see it' on the bask of the letter," and on the name being at last communicated, and theinformation ven that there wu no letter for him, 1 1 Donald often putth e poser, "Do you think she will be I the morn ? "—Nadas Ina" THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING,' AUGUS're'.22; 1866. MIDDIAESEX 8F&'ION& (Before Mr. Berjeant Dowling.) George Neigiums, l 6s, livery stable-keeper, was indicted for obtaining by false pretences from Comet Wilfred Brougham (nephew of Lord Brougham) the sum of 201., with intent to defraud. Mr. M. Williams (instructed by Mr. W. H. B. Pain, of Mary!shone) prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended. The prosecutor, Cornet Brougham, belong, to the 17th Lancers, and the regiment is stationed at Aldershot. Hav ing seen an advertisement announcing that a horse with very excellent qualities, sound, easy going, and quiet to ride or drive, wee to be sold at Harley-street-mews, be proceeded there with a view, if it suited him, of making a purchase. He was shown the horse by a groom, and afterwards the prisoner appeared and represented that he was a relative of Mr. • Newman, the jobmaster of Regent-street, and that he was the owner of the Ilene. The prisoner was loud in pulse of the horse, and on an agreement being made for its purchase, be gave the prosecutor a written warranty, stat ing that the horse was quiet to ride or drive, and that if it should turn out otherwise he (the prisoner), at the end of a month, would return the money, should the horse be returned uninjured. Upon this assurance being given in writing, the prosecutor agreed to purchase the horse for 401., giving a cheque for 201. on Cox's Bank, and a bill at a month for the remainder. According to the statement of Mr. M. Williams, the prosecuting counsel, the horse turned out to be a most extraordinary animal, for it proved something like two mules which were shown in London some time ago, and 500 guineas were offered to anyone who could ride them. The horse was sent home to tl-e prosecutor's house, and the next morning he thought he would ride him over to the camp at Aldershot, but that was a more difficult task than he anticipated. It was more than half an hour before he could be got out of the stable, and when that was done he reared up, fought, kicked, and roared like a bull, so that all idea of riding him was soon abandoned. A servant was then directed to lead him to Aldershot, and when he got there he was taken to the riding-school, and what is called • " rough rides " was put on his back, but he would not go more than ten yards, when he stubbornly refused to move. A man was sent behind him with a pitchfork to try to move him, but it was of no use, for he began fighting and rearing up, and he could only be got about ten yards round the circle. It was afterwards ascertained that this horse had been before sold to a gentleman named Mites with a similar warranty. This person returned the horse as vicious, but failed to get any return of the money that be had paid for him. The prosecutor offered to return the horse, but did not, and, like the former victim, was unable to get beck the 201. he had paid, but took criminal pro oudings against the prisoner. The case had gone on for some time, when Mr. Barjeanl Dowling said he did not think that the false pretence was made out, and under his direction the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. , The prisoner was ordered to be detained, for the P , of another indictment being preferred against him, ai u s r l:11 1 : officer of the sheriff of Middlesex was also in attendance, for the purpose of arresting him as scenes he is discharged.

Mr. Joseph Fry, bookseller, Chelmsford, who was a pas senger on board the Bruiser, gives the following account of this catastrophe :—I had gone to bed in the saloon part of the cabin about 11 o'clock on the previous evening, the weather being calm and the sea smooth. I went to sleep soon after, and remember nothing more until I was sud denly awoke in the morning about 3 o'clock. The noise which awoke me was a strong loud crash, and when I looked out I s►w a gentleman who slept in the adjoining berth already on the cabin floor. I hurriedly asked what was the matter, but received only as a reply that &swa thing had happened to the ship. I then put some articles of dress on, and at once hurried on deck, where I found the greater portion of the passengers in a state of semi nudity. Everything was in the greatest confusion. The captain told the passengers to take to the rigging, as the ship was sinking. A great number of people obeyed the order, but I was so unnerved by the sight which pre sented itself that I was unable to mount into the shrouds. The boats which were responded to the davits amid_ ships were both stove in, and there was only a small boat on the quarter deck that could be launched. In the meantime the ship that bad run into us was entangled in the rigging. Her bowsprit extended right across our vessel, and all her crew were in the bows. They lowered ropes to bring the people on board, and by this means some were hauled up, while others managed t o scramble on board by the bowsprit or any other means that they could command. In the meantime the captain gave orders that the only remaining boat should be lowered, and the women and children were ordered to be ready to get in. The sea was perfectly calm at the time, and there appeared no difficulty about getting all the passenger s transferred from the one vessel to the other. The boat was let down, and all was ready, but some of the women in the dim twilight of the morn ing hesitated about being lowered down the side of the ship into such a small boat, and after endeavouring to persuade a young girl to go in after two sailors, who had taken charge of the boat, and finding that she would not go in, I descended by a rope, and was the third person in the boat. I think there were nine or ten of us in when we pushed off. We reached the side of the other ship and got on board, but not too soon. The vessel that we bad left had been gradually settling down, and although in the hurry which distracted every one except the captain, we could not see exactly what injury our own ship had received, we disc crewed after we were safe that she was almost cut in two. She was now going rapidly, and half-naked figures of helpless women, with streaming hair and despairing looks, were seen clinging to the shrouds. Just then a schooner hove in sight, and seeing what had occurred she bore down upon us. She arrived in time to be of service, for she succeeded in taking off several of the unfortunate persons who were left on the wreck. I was conveyed in the other steamer to London. I never shall forget the awfulness of the scene that presented itself on the occasion of the ship going down. As I have said, there were a great num ber of persons clinging to the shrouds, and their wailing, for help were heard above the beetle and hurry which possessed every one. Orders were given for all manner of things to be done, and everything was done to save life which it was possible to do under the circumstances. Bat above all this the shrieking of terrified women was heard, and bslf-franticmen rushed in every direction with the hope of rendering assistance to those who were yet on the wreck. The ship into which I had got had steamed astern, so as to clear herself from the sinking vessel ; but we had not gone further away than was absolutely mos airy for safety. I have said that I got into the small boat and reached the other ship, but my time in relating it far exceeds the time in which the occurrences took place. Indeed, so rapidly did one matter succeed another that it is with difficulty I can recollect the order of events. One thing I do remember, however, and I am sure I shall never forget it, and that is the awful sight of the sinking ship taking with her some twenty human beings. All of • sudden the ship seemed to heel, and then plunging head foremost beneath the waves, a boiling surge succeeded, and for ever drowned the cries of the unfortunate ore& tures who had been unavoidably left on the wreck. I afterwards inquired of the captains of the two vessels how the accident occurred, but they replied they were unable to say. Both ships showed lights, and both had men stationed on the look-out ; but no signal was given to the helmsman until the collision took place. Our Great Yarmouth correspondent writes : The collision took place about 1 in the morning. All the meow= were in bed at the time ; the usual watch we, being kept ; the weather was very fine ; there was little or no wind, and the sea was calm. Between Aldborough and Suutliwold, near the Wirewell Bank of the coast of Suf folk, the collier dashed into the Bruiser, striking her right in the centre. The water rushed into the engine room and put out the fires. A fearful scene ensued, the assengers running up on deck in their night clothes. The Bruiser sunk rapidly, but a ladder was placed from the one steamer to the other, and a number of the passengers succeeded in scrambling on board the Oswald. Others, however, in attempting to do so were drowned, while others were sucked down. When the Bruiser foundered, provi dentially the schooner Perseverance, Captain Gaines, of London, came up and picked up three passengers a man named Stout, a woman and her nephew, who were brougLt to Yarmouth and landed at the Sailors' Home. They were in their night clothe* when rescued, and in a very exhausted state. Lola OF THI BIM LADY STZWART.—The nap- ' tain and crew of the brig Lady Stewart, of South Shields, arrived in Shields on Saturday morning from London, The muter, Captain William Talley, gives the following account of his marvellous escape :—" We left Shields har bour on Sunday, the sth inst., and all went well till the 7th, when the wind came away from S.W., with a strong sea. At 9 a.m. we took in our topgallantmast sails and double reefed topsails. The ship on being sounded was found to be making a little water. About 8 o'clock there was a heavy squall of wind with a Kish sea running. We took in foresails and jib. The ship laboured heavily, and began to make much water. At 9 o'clock we were overtaken with a destructive squall, carrying away :our foremast and maintopmaat. At midnight got the wreck cleared away. Sounded pumps and found 24 inches water in the hold. All hands attended to the pump, the ship labouring heavily, and making much water. On the Bth, about 7.30 a.m., found water gaining on the ship, and at 2.25 p.m. saw a clipper supposed to be the Bremen pilot cutter. Bore down on her and urged on the captain to take us in tow, but he would not, and went away and left us in a sinking state. At 3 p.m. there was no possibility of saving the vessel, the men at the pumps being completely exhausted. We then made up our minds to leave at the risk of losing our lives. At 4 p.m. we left the vessel without any prospect of being picked up that night, and at 5 p.m. lost sight of the vessel. She mart have gone down shortly after leaving, as we had only drifted about a mile when she disappeared. There was a fearful sea rolling, and we were obliged to pull the bead of the boat to sea. She rolled heavily, and at 9 p.m. it being very dark, we threw a bucket overboard with a line attached for the purpose of steadying her. The boat drifted at the rate of two miles an hour. At midnight a strong breeze came away, with a high sea, and there was little hope of being saved. The boat was cleverly managed, and rose beautifully with the billows. On the morning of the 9th, at 4 p.m., one of the men saw what appeared to be the mast of a vessel to the eastward of our boat. This was gladsome intelligence. Every man then began to awake from the desponding mood he had sank into in consequence of the danger he was exposed to. We made towards the vessel, and at 7.45 the captain made us out to be a boat in distress. The captain of the ship hauled his main yard ' abaft, and very kindly took us on board. The vessel was the brig Noraken, Captain Peterson, of Sundsburg, for Nieu Dieppe, whilh port he landed us at on the 13th. We • left Nieu Dieppe for London in the Diana (s.), and arrived there yesterday morning."

Sophia Pratt, of 14, Perk-place, St. James's-street, was summoned at the instance of Alfred Mortimer Job, for that "she did in September, 1863, commit the offence of 'maintenance,' by unlawfully promoting and officiously intermeddling in a suit in the Court of Chancer 7, in which Martha 'Pratt was plainti ff . and the said Alfred Mortimer Job was defendant, by inducing one Thomas Beck to become a part] to the said suit, by becoming and acting as the next friend of the said Martha Trait, the plaintiff in the said suit, he the said Thomas Beck not having any interest in the said suit, and also by guaranteeing to the solicitor acting for the said Martha Pratt his costs and charges relating to the said , suit, you the said Sophia Pratt having no interest in the said suits nor related to the said Martha Pratt." Mr. Larton, barrister, appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Edward Dillon Levis for the defence. The learned counsel for the prosecution, in his opening statement, said this was a novel prosecution, inasmuch as, within his knowledge or reading, he never remembered • similar case. The offence with which the defendant was charged was one called " maintenance," and, as laid down in old acts, if any person was proved guilty either he or she would be liable to pains and penalties. The learned gentle man quoted from " Russell and Greie upon crime in sup port of this case, and said a Mrs. Pratt had been housekeeper to Mr. Job's brother, and at the brother'f death Mrs. Pratt instituted proceedings in Chancery to recover property. This compelled Mr. Job to put in answers to the suit. In order that the superior courts are to be occupied upon bona fide matters only, each side has to give guarantees as to costs. In this case the learned counsel sa-d defendant had put forward Mr. Beck as the next friend, orthe "main tenance," for the costs. Mr. Job, in patting in answers to the suit and in his legal expenses, had been over 100/. out of pocket. The suit was never proceeded with. It was dismissed by the Master of the Rolls, and Mrs. Trutt was condemned in the costs, which ought to have been paid by Mr. Beck, her maintenance. The learned counsel concluded by saying defendant bad intermeddled and procured Beck to be the " maintenance," whereby she had rendered her- self liable to punishment. Evidence was then given in support of the charge, but owing to the absence of an important witness, an adjourn ment was ordered till November next. sourawawL George C. Griesbacit3i,dTessed in a fashionable suit of a light tweed, described as a Prussian, was brought before s Mr. Hutchens charged with fraudulently obt.lning 41 I Prussian thalera from Ferdinand Burbach, a native of the same country, in a public•house in High-street, St. Saviour's. Neither party understanding the English language, the I manager of the Royal Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriare, was sworn in as interpreter. The prosecutor deposed that a few days ago he came from Berlin, and was stopping at De Reyser's Royal Hotel, Blackfriars. The prisoner came there on Sunday, and at • the "table d'hote " sat next to witness, and they got into conversation. It was finally arranged after dinner that they should take a walk. They accordingly left the hotel together, and proceeded towards the City, and when in St. Paul's-churchyard a German stopped him, and asked the way to London Bridge. The prisoner seemed highly delighted at meeting a countryman, said that they were go g that way, and would show him. They all three acc or dingly proceeded over London Bridge, and, at the suggestion of the prisoner, entered a public house to partake of some ale. They had not been there many minutes before another German entered the house, and commenced a conversation with them. He said that he had just come from Calcutta, where he had realised a fortune and inherited 250,000/., at the same time pulling out of his pocket what appeared to bea roll of banknotes and • handful of gold coin. The man they met at St. Paul's told the latter that it was dangerous oarrymg so much money in London, when he replied that he had lost 500/. on the previous night by gambling, and he had brought out the money to be revenged ;at the one time he asked witness to partake of champagne with him. He, however, re fused, when the prisoner asked the fourth man how he lost so much money. The fourth man then pulled from his pocket a small roll of paper and a pin, and said that whoever inserted the latter in the right fold won the stakes. The third man said he would betsol. that he did it, when thejfourth man refused to accept any bet under 1001. The other DIM said he had not so much money, and then witness was appealed to, to assist in making up the amount. Witness declared that be had co money for anything of the kind, and to show them that such was the fact he pulled out 41 dialers, all the money he had, and laid it on the table ; when the fourth man picked it up, and said " that would do," and then the third man inserted the pin and lost. The fourth man, who had taken up the money, then hurriedly left the house, saying that he had a little business to transact at the railway, and would return in a few minutes. The third man left shortly afterwards, and when witness was about to follow him the prisoner prevented him, saying that they would be sure to find the third man at his lodgings. They accordingly went to the address he had given, and finding he was not known they returned to the hotel, and then witness informed the manager of all that had occurred, and the police authorities at Scotland-yard were communicated with, and the prisoner was taken into custody. William Riemers, a detective officer attached to Scot land-yard department, identified the prisoner as belonging to the Prussian and Parisian swell mobs and as continual) travelling between London, Paris, and Brussels in se of victims. He found he had only oome to the Royal Hotel on Sunday morning, bringing with him a small port manteau. After he was given into custody witness searched the latter, and found that it contained old bricks, two dirty shirts, and a pair of ragged socks, and the prisoner had not money enough to pay his hotel bill. On the prisoner being searched he found on him a false passport, issued in the duchy of Nassau. The prisoner was described therein as a merchant, whereas he was a bookbinder. Mr. Burchsm asked if he knew the other men connected with the swindle and fraud. Riemer replied in the affirmative. They were all con nected with an extensive gang of foreign swell mobsmen travelling from London to the continent. The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was remanded. WWI' NORFOLK JUNCTION RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Lynn, on Saturday, Mr. L Simpson, in the chair. The chai rman stated that the delay which had taken place in the opening of the line was attributable to the requirements of the Inspector of the Board of Trade, which bad been complied with at considerable coat. The Great Eastern Company had undertaken to work the line at 60 per cent. of the receipt /I. The report was adopted. [Advertisement.}—HOLLOWAY'll ()IRWIN?
