Mr. Metcalfe, who appeared for the prosecution, said that since the last session the prisoner had made a statement implicating other parties, and there was this aggravation in his case, that he appeare,l to have carried en a regular system of inducing persons in the employment of the railway to commit robberies and bring the property to him to be disposed of. The Reconler said it was a very bad case and he sen :enced the prisoner to ten years penal servitude. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.)

A woman, who at the Old-street police-station on Sun day inoming, about 1 o'clock, gave the name of Sophia Gnint, aged 37, and who described herself as a charwoman , residing at 72, High-street, Ihrtfo r d, K en t, was c h arge d with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself at Golden-lane, Mt. Luke's. Police-sergeant Joseph Rowe, 40:1 A, reported that as the prisoner was on the way to this court she was sod denly taken ill, and while being conveyed to the workhouse An suddenly expired. Mr. Barker said it was a sad awe, and marked the charge " reported dead." MARLBOROUGH.STREET. A MAD CAME. I: ore &num, about II years of age, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging. Police-moldabl e Thomas Hatch, 133 E, said that be was on duty yesterday evening in the Tottenham-court-road, when be saw the boy begging and asking for aims, and he then took 'inn into custody. The boy told him that all he had Lad to eat on Saturday was a piece of bread, and yesterday a few potatoes. He went to the boy's mother, who lived in a garret in Mortimer-market, and he found that her husband had been away from her, leaving her with a young family, and that all she had to depend upon was a little needlework. The boy's mother stepped forward and said that her husband left her five years ago with four children, one • baby in arms. She had not a penny in the world. Her other son, a little older than the one in court, bad a place at a week, but left it three weeks ago through illness. Mr. Tyrwhitt said be thought the best thing he could do was to send the boy to Feltham, where he would be taken are of and taught a trade. The mother (who appeared reluctant to part with her boy) thanked the magistrate for his kindness, but did not like the boy leaving he r . Sh e h a d worked bard for her family hitherto and would continue to do so, and she was in hopes in a few months she would be able to get him something to do. He was a good boy and would not steals pin. Mr. Tyrwhitt told the poor woman that in the condition she was in she could not support the boy, and ho felt sure the hest thing would be fur him to go to Feltham, where she could see him at stated periods. After some further conversation between the magis trate and the mother the boy was seat to Feltham for three years. sounrwAßK. A VERY RAI) CAME. On Saturday aftern oon , a poor woman, apparently about sixty years of age, applied to Mr. Burcham for an order to be admitted into Bermondsey Workhouse. She said that she was the widow of a soldier who died in Montreal, and that she had two sons in the a nny —one in India and the other at Portsmouth. She wax sent to England and soughtout the latter, who kept her as long an he was able. She then came up to London in search of employment, and not being able to obtain any elle became at last so destitute that she was compelled to seek shelter in the casual ward of the work house. On Friday night she slept in the casual ward of Bermondsey workhouse, and in the morning she asked to be admitted into the house, as she was in a very bad state, but they refused to do as. She, therefore, hoped his wor ship would give an order for her admission. Mr. Burcham asked whether she knew what parish her late husband belonged to? Applicant replied that he was born In Canada, and had ehieily served her Majesty in that part of the Hritish dominions. When her husband died he had been twenty one years in the army. It was very bad for her to be re fused admission at the workhouse. Mr. Beacham thought so too, and directed Chadband, one of the warrant officers, to take her at once to Bee mon•key workhouse, with a request from him that they would receive her. The poor woman then left the court, and some time , , ftcrwards she returned h the officer, who said that the relieving officer refused to receive her, or in any way ac desee in his worship's wishes. Mr. Burcham observed that he regretted to say that Bermondsey parish was the only one in this dis trict that refused to adopt the magistrate's recom mendation. As they refused to admit her he could not force 11;eal to do it under the cireuntstances. 4 He was very sorry nr it, and regretted that he could not help her. He, iontyver, did not know whether any application to the War•office would be of any assistance to her, but he fuot.ght that the officers of Bermondsey ought tc:have ad witted her and examined into her ease. The poor woman then left the court sadly dejected. FLN I %NISI( IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND.—There a 101 l in local arrests for Fenlanism.

THE EXTRAORDINARY DEATH W.' A CHIL:, AT UPPER CLAPTOIf. INQUEST AND VERDICT.—(THIS DAY.) This forenoon Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, resumed at the Adam and Eve Tavern, Lower Homertou, the inquiry relative to the supposed murder of the iik gitimate child of Mary Ann Shinn, a domestic servant. The accused was brought up in the custody of Inspector Bywater. She was so affected with grief and fear th:4 police-constable had to support her on a chair to prevent her falling off it on to the door. _ The facie have already appeared in our columns. To-day, after other wituesaes had been examined, the jury returned the following verdict—" That the I,CeAS , - child was found dead in a chimney from the mortal ei.. s of a punctured wound in the neck inflicted by the mother accidentally in attempting to deliver herself." The Coroner said that no doubt the prisoner would be charged with the concealment of birth. Inspector Bywater said that be would take her before the magistrate on that charge. The young woman was then removed in enstn ly. screaming. Messrs. Barstow, Newton, and Stately Hill, the commissioners appointed to inquire into the existence of bribery and oorrupt practices at the last election for Cds borough, resumed their investigation at Lancaster on Satyiday : MONTALEMBRRT ON THE ENi•LI`IM NATION.— The third volume of AL Montalembert's - Monks of the West," opens with a sketch of the English nation. His idea at once of their character, and of the causes that have moulded it, is expressed in the following passage :—" De spite of a thousand inconsistencies, a thousand excesses, a thousand foul blots, the English race is, of all modern races and of all Christian communities, the one which has best preserved the three fundamental bases of every society worthy of man—the spirit of liberty, the spirit of family, and the spirit of religion. How has this nation, in which pagan pride still survives and triumphs, and which has yet remained even in error the most reli gious of all the nations of Europe, how canto it to be Christian ? How and by what bands, have these im perishable roots been implanted ? The question is st'rely the most important of all those which history makes men tion of, and its interest is the more important when we consider that on the conversion of England depended, and still depends, the conversion of many millions of Paula English Christianity was the 'source of the Christianity . of Germany. From the depths of Germany the missionaries formed by the Anglo-Saxons carried the faith into Scandinavia, and among the Slaves ; and day after day, at the present moment, either by the fruitful expansion of Irish orthodoxy, or by the stubborn impulsion of pro testant propagandism, Christian societies are created, speaking English and living English life, through the whole of North America, in both the Indies, is vast Australia, and among the islands of the Pacific. Over nearly half the world Christianity has !lowed, or will flow, from the source which first gushed out from the soil of Britain. To that question we are enabled to reply with rigorous exactness. No people on earth have received the Christian faith more directly from the Roman church, and more exclusively through the agency of the monks, than the English." ARREST OF A GENTLEMAN ON A CHARGE OF BOSSE/W.—For several months past a gentleman named Stewart, said to he a captain in the army, has been living with his wife and family in the parish of Hurstuourne Tenant, during which time he has become well known, to the inhabitants of Andover and neighbourhood, and to the gentlemen of the Tedworth hunt, with which pack he was ' often seen bunting in scarlet. :bole considerable coaster cation was caused on Friday afternoon, when it became known that the captain was in the hands of the borough police, charged with robbing a Mr. Henly, a farmer of Linkenholt, of some Bank of England notes. On the next morning he was taken before the Rev. C. Dodson, at Penton, who, after heating the case, remanded him until Saturday (to-d,ay), when a special meeting of the county magistrates will be held to hear the case. The main features are these:—On the 14th of December last, Mr. Henly and Captain Stewart were both in Andover, and went to Hurstbourne together, the cap tain ridi ng with Mr. Healy in his . At this time Mr. Henly says ho had a pocket-book containing, amongst other papers, seven 5/. Bank of England notes. When he arrived home, he found that his pocketbook was mining. He communicated with the superintendent of police at Andover, Mr. Campbell, and the pocket-book, papers, and notes were advertised for, and a reward offered' for their recovery ; at the same time, the numbers being known, the authorities of the Bank of England were com municated with, and the notes stopped. blr. Campbell, a few days after, received a letter from the Bank, dating that some of the notes had been paid in. He immediately proceeded to London, and traced the notes to the parties, who stated that they had received them from Captain Stewart for the purpose of getting them changed for notes of larger value. These are the bare facts of the case so far as the prosecution is concerned. On the other hand, it is but justice to the accused to say that his answer to the charge is that Mr. Henly lent him the notes. The captain has been the whole week in gaol, the magistrate having refused bail.—Saliderry Journal. THE BARNSLEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—AiI im portant document has been issued by the committee of the Oaks Colliery Relief Fund, giving some reliable information as to the extent of the disaster and the sum required to meet the large amount of distress it has caused. It appears that the number of persons at present dependent upon the fund supplied by the liberality of the public is 628, of whom 214 are women (133 of them widows) and 356 children, the remainder being men wholly or partly supported by sons who were killed by the explosion. Acting upon experience derived from the distribution of the Lundhill Relief Fund of 1857 the committee believe that they will require at least 75,000!., if an adequate fund is to be provided for the " relief of the overwhelming distress occasioned by the greatest colliery accident ever known." At the present moment only 10,000/. has been re ceived. The committee, whilst appealing to the public for help, express the hope that as an effort is being made to establish a permanent colliery accident fund for South Yorkshire, the present will be the last occasion on which such an appeal will be n . SALE OF NEGROES IN YLAND.—BALTIMORE, DEC. IC —Four negroes, convicted of larceny and order e d to be sold by Judge Magruder, were sold by auction at Anna polis on Saturday. About 20 or 30 farmers were present at the sale. The first one sold was John Johnson, who bid for himself, the auctioneer taking his bid. He was finally knocked down to himself and became his own appraiser for 37 dole. Another man brought 35 dole., and two girls brought respectively 22 doh'. and 30 dols. each. There was an officer of the Freedmen's Bureau at the sale, and it was thought that the bidding would have been more spirited hut fur the fact that the impression seemed to prevail that the officer in qquestion was about to interfere with the right of the purchaser, and release the negroes from their custody. SALE OF AMERICAN STEAMSHIPS. —The A rago and Fulton, comprising the New York and Havre line— the only American line now in operation—have been sold by auction in New York. There was but a single bid, and they were knocked down to Mr. Learnard W. Jer 'me fur 300,000 dole. It was understood that Mr. Jerome acted for the company. The New York and Havre Steam Navigation Company was formed in 1848. Both its steamers, the Humboldt and Franklin, were afterwards lost, and the line was reorganised in 1855, Ixolling the Arago and Fulton in the next two years. The two cost a million dol len, and another half million was expended in repairs. It is not yet decided what the directors will do with the vessels thus thrown back on their hands, but it was thought probable that arrangements would be made by which the steamers will be run as before. I— THE FENIAN PRISONERS IN CANADA.—We have already spoken of the letter of the Fenian President Roberts to the prisoner Lynch, communicating bin pa triotic wish that the latter might be hanged for the pur pose of rousing his fellow countrymen. It appears that Lynch has had a chance of showing his appreciation of Colonel Roberts's sentiments. Roberts has lately set on foot a subscription for the purpose of procuring a Christmas dinner for the Fenian prisoners in Canada, and this coming to their ears has occa sioned the following proclamation to be put forth : Toronto Gaol, Dec. 21.—T0 the Fenian brotherhood and friends of the Fenian prisoners in New York and vici nity—The undersigned have been authorised by their fellow prisoners under sentence of death, and those yet to be tried, to caution their friends in New York city and vicinity against responding to the appeal made to them by Colonel Roberts, President of the Fenian brotherhood, for contributions towards procuring Christmas dinners. This appeal might be made with propriety for paupers and convicts on Blackwell's Island, or some similar institution, but is a gross insult to the Irishmen held as political prisoners in Canada. Never having received any aid or assistance from the Fenian headquarters during their long confinement in Toronto gaol, they consider this last appeal of President Roberts as adding insult to injury. They earnestly entreat their friends not to outrage their feelings, and that they may be spared this cruel humiliation. On behalf and by re quest of 3$ of my fellow pprisoners. ROBERT RIAmS LYNCH." Father McMahon endo ses the letter. The poor fellows are beginning to And out how they have been gulled.—Boston Advertiser, Dec. 25. COPPER ()RE FROM THE COLORADO.—A. schooner had arrived at San Francisco from the Colorado river, bringing 3,514 sacks or about 210 tons copper ore. This is by far the largest shipment of copper ore ever made from that place. The ores generally found are carbonates of copper, which are easily worked, being reduced to com mercial purity at one smeltin,..•• From the statement made by parties interested in mining in Arizona, we can soon expect continuous shipments of large quantities of copper ore. which will have to be reduced to pure metal before shipment to foreign porta.—Panama Star. IMPORTATION OF BIRDS INTO HAWKES BAY, No! ZEALAND.—A number of birds have been im ported in the Electra by the provincial govern. ment, consisting of golden, silver, and common phea sants, partridges, and some song birds, which were purchased in England by M r . Car ter, out of the 2501. voted by the council last year for acclimatisation. The number of birds originally shipped WAS very large, but, notwithstanding every care was taken of them, a great many Wed.—New Zealand Advertiser. ii;iiiol !Moo' 10,000. 10,160 1/01,6001 6,000 : 6,000: 100,0001 1000001, 10,000 17,000° 12,0001 6,000 1 9 4 2‘. * I iih.

Sr. Anten's, HOLBORN.—Yesterday at midday service at the district church of St. Alban the Martyr. Holborn, the censing of persons and things and the eleva tion of the elements were discontinued. The incumbent informed the co tion, by circulars distributed in the church. that he had n moved, " after consultation with other parish priests," to make such alterations in conside ration of the legal opinion procured by the English Church Union, but " especially of the wish of the bishop and the opinion of convocation." However, before the consecra tion prayer the censer we, brought in and incense burnt before the altar—" a mode of using incense allowed by ecclesiastical, and not disallowed by legal, opinion." WHAT is A NOVEL i—To say of OHO that he is a novelist, is to say little more of him than it is to say of one that he is a man, Whether the man is a tatterde malion or a bishop, a pickpocket or a judge, a buffoon or a prophet, whether the novelist is an artist or a bungler, a genius or a fool, are questions remaining for further con sideration. Practically, the single condition to which even the successful novelist must conform is, that he shall in terest his reader ; and the limitless freedom thus enjoyed commends the novel in an especial manner to literary genius in a time characterised and circumstanced as ours.
