THE OA - F.T-31 ARTILLON LIEUTENANT SADLLIR.— At 1 o'clock this afternoon the generalreourt-martial, which has been occupied four days in zhe trial of First Lieutenant I J. M. &Zeit. Royal Matinee, on the charges preferred against him by the Admiralty, reassembled at the Royal Marine barracks, under the presidency of Colonel W. IL March. At the opening of the court, the case for the pro secution having been closed, the prisoner read a lengthened addres, in his defences, in which he laid before the mutt a hi.] ex pixilation of the pecuniary difficulties under which be was labouring, which altogether prevented him meeting his monetary engagements and paying the amount of the bill en his agent, Mr. Tear, cashed by Mr. W. Smith, the canteen sutler. The prisoner went on to state that his pecuniary embarrassments had, in the first instance arisen from Lieutenant Maacall, with whom he bad agreed to ex change on the foreign service meter for a certain sum of money (as officers are in the habit of doing), not being able to fu(fil his promise by paving the money. Had that dß eer paid him the sum of which he had agreed to give him, he should have been in a position to have met the whole of hie pecuniary engagemeots. With regard to the sum owing to Sergeant Caddy, he (the prisoner) had given his servant the money to obtain the Post-office order, but be had omitted doing so, and a witness would be called to establish that. Lieutenant Mescal) was then called by the prisoner, and on being sworn; denied in the most !iositive manner that he had consented to give the prisoner any money to exchange with him, but on being pressed by tLe prisoner, and shown some letters the witness had written him, Lieutenant Mascall denied his former statement. and admitted that he had promised prisoner EU. to exchange. 121. 10e. of which was due to him by the pri soner on a bill transaction.

She, however, gin'ralry keeps her sup plied with a lord, who's called • Oov'uer Gin'red. Some times the politicians of Canady make it lively for this lord — fur Canady has politicians, and I expect they don't differ from our politicians, some of 'em beim' gifted and talented lure, no doubt. The present Gov'ner Gin'ral of Candy is Lord Monk. I mw him review some volunteers at Montreal. He was ac companied by some other lords and dukes and generab and those sort of things.

But while I don't have the eldest idea as to what the review was fur, I will state that the sojars looked pooty scrumptious in t heir red and green close. Come with me, gentle reader. to Quebeck. Quebeck was surveyed and laid out by a gentleman who had bees afflicted with delirium tremens horn childhood, and hence his ideas of things was a little irreg'ler. The streets don't lead any where in partieler, but everywhere', in gin'ral. The city is built. on a variety of perpendicler hills, each hill heirs' • trifle wain nor Vother one. Quebeck is full of stone walls, and arches, and citadels, and things. It le said no foe could ever et into Quebeck, and I guess they couldn't. And I don't see what they'd want to get:in there for. Quebeck has; seenilieely times in a warlike way. The French and Britiehers had • set-to there in 1759. Jim Wolfe commanded the latter, and Jo Montcalm the fernier. Both were hanky boys, and fit nobly. But Wolfe was too many measles for Montealm, and the French was sleved.7.Wolfe,and Monteadm was both killed. In arter years a common monument was erected by the gen'rous people of Quebeck, aided by a bully earl named George Dalhousie, to these noble fellows. That was well douse. Diuin' the revolutionary war B. Arnold made his way through dense woods and thick Snow!, from Maine to Quebeck, which it was one of the Leakiest things ever done in the military line. It would have been better if B. Arnold's funeral had come off im mediately on his arrival there.

But the real ginooimi bones was long ago carried off, and now the boys make a hansom thing by earth,' the bones of bosses tad sheep out there, and sellin' em to intelligent American towerists. Takin' a professional view of this dodge, I most say that it betrays genius of • lofty character. I say adoo to Quebeck with regret. It is old fogyish, bet shock fall of interest. Young gentlemen of a romantic turn of mind , who air botberin their beads as to how they an spend their father's money, bad better see Quebeck. Altogether, I like Canady.

FATAL A rtRAY NRAR SuzrroN Meuvr. —On TuesdAy the coroner for Somenetahire opened an inquest on the body of Charles Langley, a blacksmith, aged about 21, who had died at Nettlebridge, a village about four miles from Shepton Mallet, from injuries inflicted on him by his father. It appeared that the father, Joseph Langley, who keeps the Nettlebridge Inn, was on Saturday evening sitting in the bar of the inn, eating bread and cheese, and using a clasp knife. His two sons, the deceased and Frederick Lang ley, with other persona, were present, and it memo that an angry altercation ensued between the father and the deceased, in the course of which the latter threatened to strike him. The father replied, "If you do I'll stab you ;" but the demised, heedless of the threat. inflicted a heavy blow with his fiat on hie father's eye. The latter thereupon carried his threat into execution by plunging the blade of the knife into the right side of the deceased's abdomen. The medical gentlemen of the locality were speedily on the spot, and the wounded man attended to, but it wan evident, from the dangerous state of the wound, that he could not survive, and his father was at once taken into custody and removed to Temple Cloud. The wounded man gradually got worse until Monday morning, when he expired. The prisoner, since the commission of the act, had exhibited much distress of mind, and it was re ported in the village that he bad attempted suicide. The coroner, having opened his court, briefly stated the facts, and. in order to lay the case in a complete form before the jury, eiljourned the inquiry.— Western Daily Press. . - A PoLI , E CONSTABLE SENTZNCED TO PINAL SlR virti,e. —An ez-police officer, named Joseph Scott, was sen tenced to three years' penal certitude by Mr. Commissioner Gurney at the South Lanceabire assizes yesterday, for for gery.

Sittinp at Nisi Prins after Term M GuildhalL—(Before Ir. Justice Crompton and a Common Jury.) LOFT V. BOWL& was an interpleader issue to try the plaintiff's right, u against the defendant, to certain goods mused in execution on the premises, 101, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury. Mr. Huildlestm, Q.C., and Mr. H. Clarke were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. J. Simon were counsel for the defendant. . . The defendant, Mn. Horner, is a widow lady, and a teacher of dancing, and the plaintiff is a pianoforte maker at 103, Great Russell•etreet, Bloomsbury-square. The defendant was the execution creditor of the plaintiff's father, and the question was whether the goods belonged to the son or the father. The plaintiff alleged that the partnership that existed at one time between him and his father was dis solved in February, 1800. Before the jury retuned their verdict a compromise was entered into, whereby the defendant accepted 3001. A juror was then withdrawn. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—DEc. 10. Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie rod • Special Jury.) The court was occupied all day in trying two cross actions, in which the principal question involved seemed to be the quality of some oxalic acid ; the details were of course not interesting to the public. SECOND COURT. Sittings at Niai Prins in Loudon.— (Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Common Jury.) MAYNI V. II tiVIII.—ItWEN V. MAINE. Them were cram actions between the same parties, and they arose out of the following circumstances :—Mr. Mayne was formerly a clerk in the National Provincial Bank of Eng land at Exeter, in which city be was acquainted with Mr. M'Ewen. They met by accident in Loudon. Mr. Mayne mid he was trying to get a situation in a bank, and Mr. M'Ewen said be could get him a plem in the Union Bank of Ireland (Limited), a concern which was then about being started. The salary mentioned was 300 f. a year, and Mr. Marne prepared some model books and dial some other work, but he failed to be appointed to the situation. He now claimed to recover half a year's salary ; and the action by Mr. M'Ewen against him was for 2.51. money lent. It was admitted that the money had been lent., but upon this condition, that it was to be repaid out of the first quarter's salary. Mr. Rodeos and Mr. Houma° were the counsel engaged. His lordship, after hearing some evidence, said all that Mr. M'Ewen had done was to promise to do his best to ob tain the situation for Mr. Mayne, and having failed, he was not liable to a proceeding of this kind. A juryman mentioned that Mr. Mayne had actually done I some work. . His lordship said that if anybody was liable to pay him for that, it was the bank, and not Mr. M'Ewen. Ultimately it was agreed that both actions should be disposed of by a juror being withdrawn. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—DEC. 10. Sittinp at Nia Prime after Term t Guildhall.—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.) ACCEPTS V. STON/L—FALSZ LIIPRISONIMIT. This was an action for film imprisonment. The defendant pleaded a justificatioe. Mr. Joyce and Mr. Kemp were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Raymond for the defendant. The plaintiff was a young woman, aged 22, the daughter of a publican in Clerkenwell, and the defendant was repre sented use coal and corn merchant at Taunton. On the 19th of August last the plaintiff, with the consent of her father, went with a young man named Doufbty to the Forester!? Fi.te at the Crystal Palace. Finding in the even. ing that the railway station was greatly crowded, they went I to the Anerley Arms station, with the view of getting back to town earlier, but here also a large crowd Lad assembled, and they walked into the Anerley gardens, where they re mained until about 11 o'clock. They then returned to the station, and while waiting in the crowd the defendant got into conversation with Doughty, sod complained of the de lay in running the trains. The defendant, who was accom panied by his wife and daughter, suddenly discovered that his gold watch had been taken out of his waistcoat pocket, and he accused the plaintiff and Doughty of stealing it, and said he had felt the plaintiff's haul io his coat pocket. They were taken to the hotel and both given into custody for the robbery. The policeman marched them off to the station at Norwood, two miles distant, and locked them up all night. Next morning they had to walk to Lambeth police court, in company with seminal other prisoners, and the magistrate, after heal:ns the evidence, remanded them for a week. At the expiration of that time, during which they had been confined in Horeemonger-lane gaol, they were brought up sgain and dismissed. Under these circum stances the plaintiff brought this action in order to vindicate her character. . Ellen Iticketts, the plaintiff, a respectable looking young ' woman, was examined in proof °fah° above facts. She said she at once gave her address to the defendant, and wished to be searched ;" the hotel, but the policeman said that could only be done at the station. She was prevea.el giving bail, and was in prison a week. The amount charged by her attorney for his services on the occasion was 4/. Rh. I She positively denied having put bet hand in the defen dant's pocket. Cross-examined--Neither my friend nor myself pushed against the defendant in the crowd. The defendant did not take hold of my hand while it was in his pocket and pull it out. After he said be lost his watch I saw his chain hang ing down without a watch at the end of it. Re-examined—At the police station the defendant said he felt my hand in his pocket, but he did not say he caught it there. _ . J. Dougbty, a brass-finisher, aged 24, and a widower, corroborated the plaintiff's evidence. He said he was • member of the ancient order of Foresters, and had the per mission of the plaintiff's father to take her to the fete, which was attended by 83,.000 people. He said he tried to give bail, but another magistrate was sitting when his soli citor attended the court, and be refused to interfere ;n a case which had come before his brother magistrate. Upon cross-examination he admitted that as they were walking to the station be said to the defendant, "I have not got your watch, but I think I know who haa." He, however, explained that he saw a man in the crowd close to the defendant, who deliberately turned round and walked away, and he told the defendant that he thought that was the person who took his watch. The solicitor for the plaintiff said that Mr. Elliott eat at Lambeth police court on the first three days of the week, and Mr. Norton on the other three days. He applied to Mr. Norton to take bail for the plaintiff ; but he - declined to entertain the application am be had not heard the case, and as Mr. Elliott did not sit till the following Monday, when the remand expired, he took no further steps in the matter. . . . The Lord Chief Baron said he thought that was • very bad arrangement. It was the usual etiquette among the judges not to bear each other's summonses. but the humblest person in the realm could apply to any judge to be liberated on hail, that being a matter concerning the liberty of the subject. It was very much to be lamented that bail could not have been taken in this case. . . . . The witness said that when he made the application he was prepared to offer the father of the plaintiff and several other pences as bail. Thin being the case for the plaintiff, Mr. Raymond addressed the jury for the defence. He said the defendant did not accuse the plaintiff of stealing the watch, and the only question for the jury to consider was, whether he had a fair ground to suspect, and bock fide be lieved at the time be gave her into custody that she bad been a party to the robbery. Mr. Stone, the defendant, who was very deaf, said the young man Doughty, whom he bad seen heroes, was in front of him in the crowd, and pressing very bard apinst him, so as to attract his attention to his movements. He felt something in the side pocket of his coat, and put in his hand, when he found the hand of the plaintiff. He said, " What are you about ?" She replied, "I beg your pardon, , I was taking some sweetatuff out of my own pocket • but he held her hand notil his daughter came up. Imme diately afterwards he missed his watch, and suspected Doughty, as he had seen it sate in his pocket only two minutes before. On going to the station Doughty said, " I have not got your watch, but I know who has." On cross-examination he said if the plaintiff and Doughty had been searched at the hotel and the watch bad not been found upon them, he would not have given than into custody. Miss Stone, the defendant's daughter, a young lady, who also suffered under the infirmity of deafness, said the saw her father take the plaintiff's hand out of his pocket. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said the jury would have to consider whether the defendant had good and sufficient reason for believing, and did believe, and honestly made the charge that Doughty picked his pocket, and that the female 'misted in the operation. He said that if they found for the plaietiff, it did not necessarily follow that the defendant and his daughter bad committed perjury, as it was just one of those cans in which mistakes on one side or the other might naturally be made as to what exactly took place. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 231. The foreman said the jury wished to express their opinion that the practice at the Lambeth police-court as to taking bail was excessively inconvenient. The Lord Chief Baron said be had already made some strong remarks on the subject. It was very much to be lamented that a person like the plaintiff, charged with an offence of this kind, should be remanded a whole week I without having an opportunity of being releasedon bail. The case at fast right appeared to differ favourably from the majority of the came now coming before the court, for there was something to divide amongst the creditors ; the debts were 1,7001., and there was 5001. or 600 f. in hand. But it turned out oe inquiry that this man had done what Mr. Bargood aptly de- , scribed as " rubbing Peter to pay Ault' for at • time when be must have known himself to be hopelessly insolvent, and when he had tot the most distant prospect of being able to pay • farthing for them, he had bought • large quantity of goo ds , and consigned them to hie eon in Aua untie. lie had not, however, resorted to the practice, now so common, of obtaining advances on the bills of lading, to about two-thirds of the value, leaving those who were unwise enough to truathim wholly unpaid ; but had handed overtlie bills of lading to his creditors, whom he called together shortly afterwards. The result was a great hardship to those creditors who had supplied the goods, for instead of I getting pay for them, they could only share with the general creditors in the proceeds. Thu conduct was so much like fraud that under the old act the court would have felt compelled to say that the goods bad been obtained by fraud ; but the act of 1861 did not mention fraud, or the fraudulent contraction of debts, and the court was confined to the consideration of one point—whether the bankrupt had contractcd any of his debts without reasonable or pro bable ground of expedition of being able to defray them. Though there was the strongest possible suspicion that this mu meant to cheat his creditors, the court had no power to punish him for it. It was clear that be bad no reasonable expectation of being able to pay for the goods when he ordered them ; the dates showed that ; for he called his creditors together almost immediately after the consignments were made. He alleged that he was expecting • remittance of 400/. from his son ; but there was no ground for that. As the bankrupt had tot been here before he would have protection from arrest, though that was not material, u all the creditors had proved their debts, thinking very naturally that 3s. 6d. in the pound on their debta was better than having their debtor in gaol. On the ground that the bankrupt bad con tracted debts without probable means of payment, the order of discharge would be suspended for six month' from that date. IN HZ ALLIN.—CHARGES AGAINST AN ACCTIONTER. The banlaupt was an auctioneer, of Seymourutreet, Etta towsquare. Debts, 116/. Mr. Denny supported. A crcditor opposed on the ground that the bankrupt bad received 101. on his account as deposit for the purchase money of 'a beer-house, which the creditor was seeking to dispose of. The bankrupt was rued in the county court, and on the verdict going against him, had come to the court. Ant kept' had! Another creditor complained that the bankrupt bad pt back part of the purchase-mooey of •cigar chop. He admitted the debt in the county court, and had promised ivment. Wiilloi;our said that these cases might be breaches of trust, and might be punishable elsewhere, but they were not offences within the act of 1861. Order granted. could not keep the prisoner, and he broke away, saying, 1 " That's well ; now I'll jump overboard." Poisoner again went into the saloon, and I went out upon the deck, cod saw • dagger near the forecastle door, lying in blood. I I picked itup, took it into the forecastle, and put it in my cheat, and afterwards threw it overboard, as my shipmates said the prisoner would come back and ask for it. Prisoner came out of the saloon, saying, " Get out of my road. or I'll kill you all." I and a passenger hid ourselves under • boat. We could see into the forecastle, when the prisoner went with the augur in one hand and • pistol in the other, Prisoner pushed the augur in and out of the mate's bowel's, as he was lying on the floor. He then said, " Here, boys, heave the mate overboard • heave all dead people overboard." Two men then too k the body and threw it into the sea. Prisoner asked me and the other man if we were his countrymen, and we I said " Yea," because we were afraid. He said to us, "Go aft to the cabin take the captain, and heave him over board." The oiler non looked at the prisoner, when be said (pulling out a pistol and showing it) " If you don't want it, go aft and throw the captain overboard." I and other men went into the cabin, where the captain was lying dead on the floor, in front of the sofa, covered with blood. We threw him over. I did not see his wound, but his head was covered with blood. Prisoner then weut with us and said, "Take the mistress sod heave her over board." I said, "She is not dead yet, and we can't heave live people overboard," and be then said, " Let her be where she is." He then got on the boat swearing. with the thaugur in his hand. I went into the forecastle and saw mistress. She asked me to carry her aft, and, with the consent of the prisoner, I and another man took her and laid her on the sofa in the cabin ; her night dress was covered with blood. I said, " Give here blanket and pillow," and he went and got a blanket from her own bunker and threw it over her. I asked him to get her a pillow ; but be said, "No, that's good enough for her," and be then locked her door, and put the key in his pocket. The woman showed the wound in her stomach, and asked the prisoner for some medicine for it. He said, " That's nothing ; never mind that." He then went and got the medicine chest and put something to his hand, which had been hurt through has having too much powder in the pistol. He then put the chest back again without giving the woman anything from it. He then went sad ordered breakfast. They all had breakfast at eight o'clock, and it was about ten o'clock when they took the prisoner and lashed him. Before the captain's wife died she told me that she heard the carpenter kill her husband as be was lying on the sofa, and she asked me to read the Bible to her, but I could not, nor could anybody on ' board. She died about five o'clock the same day. I talked with the prisoner after be was secured, and asked him if he was son y for what he had done. He replied, " You've no heart ; when • man's dead he is dead, and that's nothing." ' I asked him how he killed the captain, and he said', he didn't know, and that he bad given him • kick. I went and fetched the axe and ehowed it to him, and asked if he did it with that, and be said he didn't know. He said, " When you go on shore, don't talk about it." I again eked him l why he did it, and be then said, " What did they give me farina for r . _ . . After the completion of the evidence by the other 'Wort. all agreeing in the detail; the following extraordinary statement made by the prisoner, and taken down, was read to the jury : "The first time I came on board at Monte Video I was good friends with the captain and everybody on board. When I arrived at Paraguay I hurt myself, and was ill five or 'ix days on board, and nine (Pty s in the hospital on shore. During the time I was ill on board all the people laughed at me, and said it was only because I would not work. and I asked the captain to let me go into the hospital, which be did. After I came out of hospital a bill was sent in for 30 dollars, which the captain paid, and after that he always vexed me, and did not like me any more after I left Para guay for San Francisco. The first day we arrived at San sociaco the captain went on shore with his wife and four sailors, and when they returned in the evening the captain had some quarrel with his wire, and I eaw him strike her in the face. Yi7 hen I saw ibis I was in my cabin, and I laughed. In consequence of my laughing the woman was cross with me every day afterwerds. The second day the captain and four sailors, went on shore, leaving me, the mate, and the wife on board. That morning I had been at work outside the ship, and I went into the saloon for a tool which I wanted. As I came out I saw the mate come from the captain's cabin all in • perspiration, and his trousers were unbuttoned. The mate said, " What do you come here for, to look after me r I raid, " No. He said, " Don't be frightened ; before we arrive at Monte Video you 'hall pay for this." We stopped at San Francisco seven or eight days, and I was always at work in the rain mending the small boat. We had some spirits on board, and the mate gave some of it to everybc ly but me. He said, " I give it to the sailors to drink, but not to you, because you are too lazy." He ordered me about like a slave. The captain and his wife behaved to me the same way ; she did all she could to moo tify me at dinner. They gave me farina to eat because they knew I did not like it, and to make me cross. Five or six days otter I spoke to the captain about it, and said, " Why do you treat me in this way ?" arid he said, " I think I treat you very well, because all the time you have been on board you have done uothing." I told him when I !got to Monte Video, I should tell all to the consul ; and about the captain and his wife and the mate he should put something in the newspapers. The others were then present, and the captain said. "Never you mind, before you arrive at Monte Video I will make you see the consul, vice consul, and general consul altogether." I then went to my cabin and pretended to sleep, and heard the captain and his wife talking. They said, "That savage man,is gone to sleep." The captain said, " He wants to give the ship • bad name ; we had better tie his hands and throw him overboard." The mate said, "It's no use to tie his hands ; I have thrown six men stronger than him overboard, sod I suppose I can do the same for him; when he's sound asleep I will throw him overboard." The captain said, " W hen the proper time comes I will let von know." After this I wee afraid, and loaded my pistol. The third night after, the mate and captain came to my cabin. The captain put his hand on my throat, and the mate Ind • cord to tie my hands. They pulled mo out of my berth, and the captain tied a woollen scarf round my mouth and dragged me near the sofa. When the mate found he could not tie me, he struck me in the eye, and knocked me down on the sofa. The mate tried to put irons on me, and I hit him in the face. The captain seized me to throw me overboard, and I was cross. I alw the hatchet, and took it and struck him with it across the face. The mate ran away, and the captain put up his hands and said, " Ob, my God, lam dying," and fell down on the sofa. I got a pistol and went after the mate. I sew him coming with • piece of iron in his hand. I firer' and missed, and he ran away again. I went after him to the forecastle, and seeing something white, thought it was him, and struck with a knife, but it was the captain's wife. The mate then came on me with the iron, when I in self-defence struck him with the knife. Afterwards I asked the people if they were my friends, and they said they were. They became afraid of me, and I then said, " Well, if you like you may tie me and keep me until we get so Monte Video, when you can let me go." They did so, and put me down below. Mr. Bowen, in his speech for the defence, argued on the ' truth of the prisoner's story, that because he bad witnessed the impropriety between the captain's wife and the mate, he was treated with harshness and violence. When at ' tacked and in fear of his life, he alayed the captain to save himself, and in terror of the mate also wounded him. The ' counsel also argued on the iosufficiency of the evidence to ' prove the nationality of the ship. The Judge having summed up, the jury retired to con ' eider their verdict and were absent a quarter of as hour, , when they returned with a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was called upon in the lintel way, but made , no remark, and the judge then paned sentence of death in r the usual form. The trial occupied six hours and a half. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION:HOITE. James Crowther and Samuel Ooodburn, who stand re manded upon • charge of conspiring together and obtaining by means of false pretences various sums of money, totbe amount of between 6,000!. and 7,C00K., belonging to their employers. Messrs. Laing and Merridew, colonial brokers, Mincing lane, City, appeared yesterday before the Lord Mayor, an answer to their recognizance% to undergo& further examina tion upon that charge. Mr. Woutner again appeared to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh, banister, instructed' by Mews. Hillyer and Fenwick, appeared for the defendant Crowther • and Mr. George Lewis appeared for the defendant Ooo dburn. The whole of the evidence adduced on the previous exami. nations las already been given in detail, and yesterday the cross-examination of the witness Barber occujied a con siderable time, and Mr. Barber was re-examined by Mr. Wontner. Other witnesses were examined, and the evidence adduced wan very complkated, and totally void of interest. The additional fact, however, which the evidence tended to show, that in July, 1861, when there was • fi re at Cotton's Wha rf, there was a considerable quan tity of saltpetre at that wharf belonging to the witness Barber, and upon which Messrs. Laing had made advances, which was destroyed. Mr. Barber had the advantage of Messrs. Laing's floating insurance against fire, and the claim for the loss sustained was sent in to the Boyal Exchange lasuniace Company, with whom ths policy was e ff ected, and the company paid 1501. 111.11001111 of what ought really to have been paid for the loss. It ap =by Barber's evidence that this 1101 . wa s carried to edit, and the defendant Crowther suggested that he should pay it to them, the driendants, in equal portions, which he did. The evidence adduced went to show that the prisoners stole two warrants for saltpetre to cover that amount, and handed them to Barber. The examination muted nearly five hours, and the ease WWI again remanded, the defendants being spun admitted to bail, as before. 101. was received from the Skinned Company for the poor-box. BOW.STBEET. It will be remembered that Mr. Francis Bartlett Graham, an alleged lunatic, who stood eharged with stab= policoman at the Lyceum Theatre, bad been twice re on that charge, soil should have been brought before the magistrate for farther examination yesterday. In the early part of the day it wan intimated to the sitting magistrate Mr. Henry) that it would be impossible for the wounded constable to attend in order to give evidence. as be was in a very bed state of health and ucable to leave the hospital. Bome feeling at surprise was excited by the fact that op to the boor at which the easmiastaon had beet ma. pointed to be heard the prisms: had not bona seat to the so wn, from the ROOM of Deleotioa. It become Lohemmer. slot Citeimedidesie bad received a communication from the governor of that establishment Shortly after the appointed hour Mr. Macrae, the banister, waited on Mr. Henry and elated that, acting upon the instructions of Mr. LewiA. solicitor, he had made certain representations to the Home Secretary, which representations were supported by evidence satisfactory to the mind of the right hoe. barman. It appeared that Mr. Graham was in an unsound state of mind, and that he was getting worm in prison. On this representation the pri soner had been rem3yed to Hanwell. He (Mr. Macrae) had thought that it was due to the magistrate in courtesy to sperm him of these (arta. Mr. Henry was quite satisfied. He had learned as much from the governor of the House of Detention. Mr. Macrae said nobody regretted this occur rence more than the friends of the lunatic, who would take are, whatever might be the result, to compensate the unfortunate officer for his injuries, as far as that was pos sible.

NORTHERN ClRCDlT.—Livesrom, Dr.c. 10. CsowN Coorr.—(Before Mr. Gurney.) THE MANCHESTER CITY BANK. Jonah Andrew, who was formerly in business at Man chester as a banker, wee charged with having appropriated to his own use money of which he was the bailee. Mr. Higgiu appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Hopwood defended the prisoner. Mr. fliggin, in opening the case, said he need hardly tell them, because their own experience would Worm them, how necessary it was that persons who held themselves out to the world as bankers should receive implicit confidence from the public ; and of course it was very detrimental to the commercial interests of society when rersons who were entrusted with money for • @pacific purpose converted it to their own use. The prisoner was formerly head of an establishment known as the "lily Savings Bank ;" but that establishment having been discontinued two years or two veers and a half ago, be opened • place of business in Market-street, Manchester, which he called the City Bank. He was the only person connected with that establishment, and he made the necessary return to the Inland Revesme Department, in which be described himself as • banker. Amongst the other portions of his business as a banker was that of receiving money for the purpose of advising bills in London and elsewhere, his correspondents in London being Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co. ; but the jury would find that Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co. terminated their connexion with him about the time the transaction about to be investigated took place. When persons Cattle to the prisoner's place to advise bills they were in the habit of entering the venous particulars on a printed fot.n sup plied to them, and in this case all these requisites were complied with. Mr. Samuel Lyons had • bill falling due at the Union Bank, London, and on the 21st of October, in the forenoon, he went to the prisoner's bank tee the purpose of retiring it. He paid the amount, 37!. 165., supplied the necessary information, and gave instructions to have the bill retired. Mr. Lyons made the arrangement with • clerk named Colson ; and his strong impression was that the prisoner was in the inner office during the time, but of that there appeared to be some doubt. The advice note and money found its way into the hands of another clerk, Wadsworth. Mr. Lyons deposited the money in the absolute confidence and hope that the bill would be met next day, when it becanseidue. The pri. loner suspended payment on the 22nd of October, the day after the money was deposited; the bill was not met in London, and Mr. Lyons received • telegram of the fact. He tools the telegram to the prisoner's bank, telling him that he had not fulfilled his promise to take up the bill. The prisoner affected to be very angry, and conducted himself so unsatisfac torily that upon the spur of the moment he was given into custoli he was, however, discharged, and afterwards ar rested process of warrant. Upon the very day he re ceived e money, Colson, the clerk, was directed by the prisoner not to write to London at all that night, which the learned counsel thought would be very material in the cue. If they were satisfied that the prisoner knew the purpose for which the money was deposited in his bank, sad if he converted it to any other than that purpose, this Mr. Iliggin contended would be an offence against the act of parliament 24 and 25 Vic., cb. 96, sec. 75. In answer to • question from the judge, Mr. Biggin said he did not think he should be able to carry the case further than he had stated. _ • His lordship remarked that all they seemed to know was that the money was paid to a clerk, and that the prisoner was in an inner office talking to somebody else. Was it to be inferred from that that the prisoner knew the purpose for which the money was paid 9 . He certainly thought it would be a waste of time to proceed with the case unless there was further evidence. —.—.--- Mr. Higgin, acknowledging the difficulty, said he could offer no further evidence. and did not proceed with the case. Mr. Hopwood complained that upon such evidence the prisoner had been in gaol for three montba, and said it realy seemed to be rather persecution than prosecution. The prisoner was then discharged. WESTERN ClRClllT.—Wmcazgrut, Dec. 10. (Before Mr. Jostire Ryles.) Fernando Petrina, a fine-looking Austrian seaman, wan indicted for the wilful murder of a man known by the name of Jones, on the 4th of October last. The prisoner was alleged to have committed three sepa rate murders during the same night. He was the cm:pouter and second mate of the ship Winthrop, which had formerly railed under the American flag, but on the Lira voyage she wan registered at Halifax, Nova scotia, and sailed uoder the English flag from that port. The captain of the ship was an Italian named Nicolo Liperi, who, with his wife Sarah , Liperi, and Jones, an American, the first mate, had rave relay been killed by the prisoner on the night of the above date. The jury were one-half foreigners. Mr. If. T. Cole, with Mr. Beare, conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Brown (under instruction from the judge) watched the trial on the part of the prisoner. The grand jury found three true bills against the pri soner, but he was first put on his trial for the murder of Jonas, the first mate. There were a number of witnesses, but the statement of Peter Allen, a Swede, and one of the able seamen, well skilled in English, will be sufficient to explain the horrible affair. Allen said—l remember the night when the captain was killed, a Friday. I was on deck on the look-out for ward. It was my watch. I beard a shot in the cabin about hali-past one o'clock, and I ran amidships, and I then saw the prisoner come out of the saloon running after the mate and the helmsman. I saw the prisoner fire • pistol, and he cried out at the time, "-- farina! No more farina!" The mate ran round the forecastle, prisoner pursuing, and at the same time I saw the captain's wife on the poop aft, crying out that her husband wee killed. She came down and ran into the forecastle, the prisoner following her. I law bar lying on the chest there, and the prisoner struck her with a dinar in her side. Bhe was in her night-gown only. It was moonlight, but there was no Limp in the forecastle. I had fora time lost sight of the mate, but I now again saw him et the door of the (ere mite going in, alma the primmer stabbed him with a knife in %e lm* sad be fell. One of the men in the forecastle mewed primmer, sad wind eat for help I west be. but we WEffrMINSTER. A woman, giving the name of Mary Ann Everett, was charged with being drank and creating a great disturbance. Police-constable 329 B said that at half-past seven on Tues day evening be heard great, screams in Ilelgram.place, and on going there found the defendant, who still continued screaming, and complained that her daughter struck her. She bad been previously in the bands of the police. Mr. Craves, of St. Michael's-terrace, Pimlico, said—On unexpectedly arriving home at half-past five last evening I found this woman in my house and my wife in a dreadful state. The defendant bad been in the habit of coming there, and by intimidation extorting money from my wife. She had been there in the course of the day and refused to leave. She then had her taken to the station, when she threw stones at her and behaved very ill. She was then permitted to go at large, but returned and disturbed the whole neighbourhood. Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of her? Complainant—To my great surprise I discovered last night that this woman was my wife's neither. Mr. Arnold—Were you not acquainted with that fact be fore? Complainant—l was not; I did not know even of her existence until last night. Defendant—She has always disowned me. lam not fine enough for her. Complainant—And another very extraordinary thing is that my wife's sister—another of this woman's datiOters— has been living servant with us sod I did not know it. For 14 years I have been deceived. Mr. Arnold—And you not know your wife's sister all that time. _ _ _ _ _ _ . aomplalnant—l assure you I did not ; I never thought of such a thing. Mr. Arnold—lt is a very odd diecovery. Complainant—lt is. My wife confessed it. This woman I has been for years living upon me. She bas been con stantly there during my absence threatening my wife. Mr. Arnold ordered the defendant to enter into mogul 'arms to keep the peace for six months. THAMES. Catherine Sweeney, an Irishwoman, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting and robbing Ann Tuby, the wife of • labourer, dwelling at No. Si, Spring-gardens, • court leading out of Bighetreet, Whiteohapel This was not a garotte robbery and outrage, but one corn. mitred from motives of personal revenge, and attended with considerable violence. The prisoner had been imprisoned noder a sentence of one of the magistrates of the Worship-street Police-court for assaulting the com plainant's daughter. Since then she had frequently annoyed and insulted the proeecutris, and accompanied her abase with dreadful threats mid imprecations. A few evenings since Mrs. Ttiby and her husband bad been to •shop in High-street, Whitechapel, to purchase grocery, and were returning towards their own home , when the pri soner, who was accompanied by three mec, attacked her with great feroci, and knocked her down, end when she was down kicke d her shoat the bead and body. The . . husband of the injured woman went to her assistance, and seized the prisoner, on which the three ruffians who ac companied her attacked him simultaneously, and beat him in a savage manner, knocked him down, and kicked him while he was down. The husband was completely disabled by the ruffians. His wife managed to rise, and *the prisoner struck her spin, her three companions hustled her, and she was again hurled to the ground with great violence. The prisoner then snatched the Wket, cos taming the grocery just purchased, from Mrs. Tuby, and ran away. Mr. and Mrs. Tub y were both seriously injured, and lost a good deal of blood. The three men who joined in the outrage and robbery were at this court on the morn ing of the first examination, and threatened both Toby and hie wife, who unfortunately neglected to give them into custody. It did not appear that either of the injured parties ' gave the prisoner any provocation whatever. Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial for high way robbery with viokooe. INCREASE OF CRIME IN THE COUNTY OA MIDDLESEX. The official report of the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, for the year ending Michaelmas, 1862, has just been isaued, and shows that a great increase of crime has taken place within that period, as compared with the previous year. Upon this subject the report says : " The excel. timid state of things, prevailing in the me tropolis during the past year has been attended with a con siderable increase to the number of commitments. In 1861 the total number of prisoners was 8,065 ; in the present year, 9,261. It is, under these circumstancee, a matter of rejoicing that, while the aggregate numbers have thus risen, the comber of prisoners under sixteen years of age has not only failed to keep pace with the adults, but has materially diminished. Last year the total number of boys under sixteen years of age was 774. this year it has fallen to 682. Of the prisoners committed doting the year 1,562 had been once before committed ; 567, twice ;`258, three times ; and 472, four times and upwards. In addition to the punishments to which the yrieonen were senteeoed, the following have been inflicted for offences committed during the year in prison : Whippings, 10 ; put lin irons, 6; solitary confinement, 267; other punishmente, 6,227 —making a total of 6,510 additional punishments. The daily averageof prisoners wa51.594. The report of the House of Correction at Westminster shows a great increase in the number of female prisoners committed during the year, amounting to 5,099 ; in the previous year they were 4.805. The number of females received from this prison into re formatory asylums during the near was 130, namely, into the Refuge for the Destitute, 29 ; Elisabeth Fry Refuge, 60; Manor-hall Asylum, 6; placed in other asylums, sod paid for by the ladies of the Patronage Society, 29. Of the prisoners committed daring the year, 993 bad been ono° committed before, 497 twice, 271 three times, and 1,841 four times ; and more extra punishment for offences com mitted within the prison—solitary confinement. 83; other punishments, 1,485, making a total of 1,566. The House of Detention, Clerkenwell, as in the previous cases, effete a considerable increase in the number of proonen for the year. The number committed this year was B,BBo—vie. : 6,510 males and 2.370 females—while in the previous year they were 8.014, being an increase of 866. The daily average was 224. Of the number committed there were committed before :—Once, 1,008 ; twice, 331 ; thrice, 14 ; and four times and more, 207. Extra punishments, is irons, 1 ; solitary confinement, 33 ; other punishments, 131. Committed for attempting to commit suicide, 177. ANOTHER DISITR RANCE AT CH WITERFIELD. The murder of Cooper at Chesterfield seems destined to pro duce permanent ill.feeliug between the English and Irish of this district. Du Tuesday the workmen at some pita at Sheepbridge, about two miles north of this place, rose in • body and ordered all the Irish from the wor The latter resisted, and a desperate tight ensued. Ultimately the Hibernian, were vanquished aid forced to take refuge in flight. Two of them were severely cot and hurt about the head, and the whole body were pursued for nearly a mile by the victorious Saxon,. The English then returned to the works, collected the tools of the defeated Irish, and sent them after them in a cart, with the significant intimation as to what the Irish might expect if they again showed themselves ou the works. Yesterday morning the defeated Hibernians applied to the magistrates for sum mosses against their &swami* but being ignorant of their names were unable to obtain them. A similar affair also took place at Dronfield on Ineeday, and at Clay Cross and Alfreten disturbances have also taken place, it being the in tention of the Derbyshire colliers to drive the Irish to seek for work in some other county. The exasperation felt by these rough men at the cowardly murder of Cooper is not easily deecnbsd, but the feeling against the Irish is rapidly Treading ; and unless the authorities interfere, most se rious results may be anticipated. The young woman Holt is very much better, and it is expected she will be able to appear against the two men in custody this day. EAsr INDIA COMPS NY. —A general court of pro prietors was held yesterday at the offices of the company, in Lothbtury ; Colonel W. H. Sykes, M.P.. in the chair.
