'Behead Ward, sail stesling therein two gold bracelets and other articles, value 201., his property. Mr. Ribton prosecuted ; Mr. Si. Williams appeared for Caley ; Durkin, who plaided g uilty, was undefended. From the evidence of William Tipster, of No. 9, Glas row-terrace, Millbank, it appeared that between 2 and I dclock in the afternoon of the 30th of August he saw Durkin go down the area steps of the Rev. Mr. Ward's Lose, No. 12, Baton-square, and be afterwards entered the Isms& He had suspicions that all was not right, and he remained watching the house for about an hour, when IM saw the prisoner make Us appearance, and he ran along the balcony of the first floor, and the servants after him. He climbed over the divisions of the different houses as far as No. 15, when he slid down by a pillar supporting the telcony, and dropped on to the pavement in the square, followed by the footman. This witness seised hold of Durkin, and assistance being obtained, he was taken back to Mr. Ward's house, and on the way he threw away • quantity of jewellery. He had previous to entering the area been with the woman Caley, and she appeared to be wasting for him. Other evidence having been given, The jury acquitted Coley, and Durkin pleaded guilty. . A previous conviction having been proved against the prisoner, Kr. Betjeant Dowling *eked if anything more was known it the prisoner. Kr. George Lockyer laid the prisoner had been known to him since 1848, and he had been convicted and sentenced beirteea times to various terms of imprisonment, with re whippings. He had also been convicted at the rat- Bdaney, and sentenced to penal servitude for seven years, besides two years' imprisonment from this court. He assaulted an officer of Coldbathfields Prison, from which he escaped, but was shortly afterwards recaptared. The Deputy-Assistant Judge said the prisoner hhaaddfor a considerable time preyed upon society, and was really a wry dangerous person. He belonged to a class of per sons technically called "area sneaks," who took advan tage et the absence of servants to gain admission to the louses, and to purloin the property. The sentence of the wart on him was that he be kept in penal servitude for tem years. Thonas Cooper, 17, oostermonger, was indicted for steel fag a silver watch, value 11. 155., the property of Thomas l y he prosecutor is a seafaring man, and on the night of the 25th of August he was passing Bow Common, when be vas accosted by • woman who wished him to go with her. Lignediately afterwards be was surrounded by the pfisoner and several other young men, and they called out, ' Why don't you pay the woman—pay the woman r He wanted to know what he was to pay her for, when the prisoner snatched his watch from his pocket. The prosecutor seized bold of the prisoner by the collar, and demanded the res toration of his watch, and they struggled violently together, the prisoner endeavouring by all means in his power to effect his escape. The prosecutor, however, still retained his hold, and he distinctly maw the prisoner hand over his watch to some of his companions, and they made off with it. The prisoner still straggled to get away, and being near a heap of bricks, he seised hold of one, and struck the prosecutor on the Lead with it, and afterwards bit one of his fingers to the bone. A. young man came up, and seeing what was going . on, went for a policeman, and the prisoner was taken into custody. He bad previously mid that if the prosecutor winild let him go he would get him back his watch The prisoner said ho had nothing to do with the 'robbery, sad was only attracted to the spot by hearing cries from some persons he did not know, calling out " Pay .the woman." The jur y found the prisoner Guilty. Th e Deputy-Assistant Judge said it was very fortunate for the prisoner that no previous conviction was proved against him, or he would have been sentenced to a long term of penal servitude. He sentenced him to imprison ment and hard labour for 12 months. • John Balla, 33, was indicted for embezzling the sum of 16a., received by him for, and on account of, James Baader, his master. James Reader said he lived at No. 16, Hardwick-street, Commercial-road, and will the proprietor of the Crown Brewery Stores, Bell Wharf, Shadwell, and the prisoner wee in his employ for about 18 months. It wee his duty to receive small sums from colliers lying in the stream and to pay them to the foreman at the wharf the day he received them. He entered the same in a book, and a foreman put his initials to the entries. He (wit ness) applied to Captain Jones for 16s. due from him, upon which he handed the receipt in the prisoner's handwriting for the money, and it bore the words, " Received, J. Balls." Witness spoke to the prisoner, and 'eked him about Captain Jones's aoeount, and he admitted that he had received the money, but declined to give any answer why he bad not paid it over. Several other deficiencies had been since discovered. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Serjeant Dowling sentenced him to be imprisoned end kept to hard labour for three months. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Mary Ann Chidety, 19, a decent, respectable-Looking girl, described as a servant, pleaded guilty to obtaining hy false pretences from Benjamin Coleman Harris six ya.l of flannel and other articles, with intent to defraud. The prisoner had left her situation, and for the purpose of getting food she went to the prosecutor's shop, and got the things under the proton°e that they were for her mis tress. Her parents were most respectable, snd it was her first offence. Mr. Payne said it was a bad offence, because the pri soner had gone three different times and obtained goods. The sentence of the court upon her was that she be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. The prisoner, who elicted the sympathy of most persons in court, burst into tears, and seemed quite overcome at her sentence. She had almost to be carried down the slobs leading to the cells. After a short time the prosecutor got into the box, and prayed the court to reconsider the sentence, as it was the prisoner's first step from the paths of virtue. She had hitherto borne an irreproachable character, and her friends, who lived at Bristol, were willing to take care of her when she came out of prison. Mr. Payne said be ought not to have trusted the pri soner. The prosecutor said he gave a large amount of eredit,and It wag a thing that occurred many times in the course of a day. In answer to the court, Police constable 88 N said he had made inquiries and had found that she and her connections were very respect- able. Her father, who lived at Bristol, had been in one situation for four teen years. Mr. Payne deferred passing seatence. George Chopf in, ZI, weaver, was indicted for stealingthe stun of if. 55., the moneys of Herbert Thomas, from his person. The prosecutor said he lived at Stowey-street, Caledo nian -road, and on the 26th of August he got drunk and lay down in a field near the Cattle-market to sleep. At that time he had a half-sovereign and 15e. in silver in his pocket. When he awoke he was in the policeststion. His money was all gone. A labourer said he was coming up the Caledonian-road and saw the prosecutor lying down in a 'had, and the pri soner close to him. He said to the prisoner, "Is the man drunk 1" and he made no answer. Witness then walked across the road and watched him. The prisoner then pulled the prosecutor up and put hie hands into his trousers pockets. Witness went for a constable and when he re turned the prisoner had gone. John Cambridge, 71 Y, said he was called to the prose cutor, and while he was trying to get him up, the prisoner was brought back, and he charged him with robbing the prosecutor. The prisoner said he had only got 18s., but at the' station he was searched, and a half-sovereign was found in the lining of his trousers. Mr. Payne, in ?easing sentence, said it was a bad offence for the prisoner to take advantage of a drunken man. He must be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for eight months. As regarded the prosecutor, if be had not got drunk he would not have been robbed. He (the learned deputy assistant-judge) hoped he would live more sober for the future. The prisoner was then removed, muttering imprecations against the witnesses. SURREY SESSION& OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Mixon, Deputy Chairman.) William Johnton, 21, was indicted for iissaulting Polioe imutable Robert Sheldrake, of the M division, and cutting his head with a stone. The constable was on duty in the Mint about 1 o'clock in the morning, when he saw a disturbance, and the mob all dispersed except the prisoner, who refused to go, and made use of threatening and violent languor. The constable Sold,him he should have to take bun into custody, when _the prisoner picked up a large stone and threw it at his Lead cutting his head through his helmet. He then tried to make his escape, but another officer came up and as sisted in capturing him. The prisoner, in his defence, said he did not intend the stone for the witness, but for another officer on the same beat, who was always hunting him about. The constable was and in answer to the court aid thnt the prisoner wu a very bad character, and they bad some trouble to get him to the station-house. Mr. Tilaoa sentenced him to twelve months' bard Isbour. (Before Mr. Adams.) JoAn Brow*, alias Took, 19, described on the calendar as a moon, was indicted for unlawfully wounding Thomas Houghton, an officer of ihe L division of police, in the execution of his duty. Mr. Moir proms:tubed, and Mr. Lilley defended the ;wi nner. John Nandleld, 70 L, saki he was on duty in the New-cut on the night of the 27th ultimo, when he saw two roam walking arm-in-arm drank, and driving people o ff the pavement. He went up to them and told them to go home quietly, and not annoy the p is. They tasted upon him and aimaalted him. deal gthesitskion, the witness stated that Livia wee tint I first time she had ever been beaten by her husband. The defence was that in a moment of irritation the prisoner tLrew the stool at his wife, but with no intention of inflicting injury, and no one could regret more than he what had occurred. Mr. D'Eynoourt remarked that this was another of the effects of the intemperate use of intoxicating liquors, and sentenced the pi lamer to six weeks imprisonment with hard labour in the House of Correction. another constable, came to his assistance, when the pri soner came up and stabbed the latter. Witmer saw tie a stone in a handkerchief and strike Houghton on the head with it cutting him fearfully. After some trouble Brown and the other two were secured. The two latter were fined 51. and H. respectively, but the prisoner was committed for trial. Thomas Houghton, 115 L, eaM that he went to last wituess'a assistance, when the prisoner came up and at tempted to rescue the others. While struggling he re ceived a blow on the head from something sharp, and found he had received a severe cut. Witneu then went to the surgery of Mr. Blades, the divisional surgeon, who 'trapped up the wound, and on his return he saw Brown in custody. Hobert Hardringlum, 163 L, said he saw the prisoner strike Houghton with a stone in his handkerchief, and ran away. He however followed him, and took him into custod Dr. Blades, of the Kennin4ton-park-road, said that Houghton came to him on the night in question with a wound on his head. It was nearly down to the bone, and about an inch long. He should think it was inflicted by some blunt instrument, such as a large stone. Mr. Lilley made an eloquent appeal to the jury, and The Assistant Chairman summed up the whole of the evidence in a careful manner. The jury consulted for a short time, and returned • Iterdict of Guilty. Mr. Adams sentenced him to 12 months' bard labour. dim ravers, 36, was indicted for administering a noxious drug to Lucy Chalk, and robbing her of a dress, bonnet, shawl, pair of boots, and • carpet bag. The proeecutrix, • very respectable woman, rending at Hackney, said that on Monday, the 30th of July, about two o'clock in the afternoon, she met the prisoner In a refreshment house near London Bridge, and they got into conversation, after which they left the house toget her, and walked over the bridge towards the railway terminus. The pri soner then asked her to enter the London-bridge Tavern with her, and there called for some rum. After drinking a glass of it she became suddenly insensible, and recollected nothing until she found herself in bed in a strange house, very ill, and stripped of her dress , boots , bonnet, and shawl, and missed her carpet bag and a purse containing • trifle in silver. The people were very kind to her, and I as soon as she recovered a constable was sent for and she gave a description of the prisoner, and was afterwards sent home. Jane Foley, • lodger, nodding at 29, Surrey-row, Black. friars-road, "aid that while her landlady was out the pri soner drove up in a cab about 3 o'clock in the afternoon in question and told her that she had her sister very ill in the cab, and she wanted her put to bed for a short time. The prosecutrix was then lifted out of the cab, brought into the house, and put into the landlady's bed. Shortly afterwards the prisoner came out of the room and told her she was going to fetch a doctor for her sister, and she left the house, but never returned. Witness shortly afterwards went into the bedroom and found the prosecutrix very sick. She bathed her temples, and when she recovered found her nearly stripped. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sen- Inced to twelve months' bard labour. TH3 CHOLSILL • r f WESTMINSTER. Charles and Rebecca Lilley, man and wife, were charged, the former with assaulting the police, and the latter with attempting to ramie. Sergeant Whicher, 7 B, said on Tuesday night he was in Winchester-street, Pimlico, and found the man on a door step. He told him to go away, upon which defendant called him an " Old —." Police-constable Patrick O'Connor, 56 B, then came to his assistance, and defendant kicked and struck him as he attempted to remove him. They fell, and prisoner's face was cut. Further struggles took place, and they were down together four or five times. Police-constable Sutton, 162 B, then came up, and they got part of the way to the station when the female held him tightly b 7 the collar, and upon his pushing her away, struck him in the face. She was taken into custody outside the station. O'Connor corroborated the sergeant, and in reply to questions from the defendant and magistrate, denied striking him in the face, as he alleged. The male defendant did not deny being intoxicated, but denied committing an assault, or using bad language. He called Harry Hoye, of 75, Cumberland-street, who proved that prisoner was not in Winchester-street, but on his doorstep. O'Connor picked him up, called him a struck him violently in the eye, and threw him in the road, using further violence afterwards. Anotherwitnees proved that it was in Cumberland-street, A woman called to the police to spring their rattles. Sergeant Whirler persisted that it was in Winchester. street, and the prisoner went thence to Cumberland-street. Hoye swore positively that they got out of a cab and sat down on his door-step. Mr. Selfe—Whicher, I am sorry to see yon mixed up in this dierraceful affair. O'Connor I shall report to the commissioner as a person guilty of violence, bad language, and falsehood, and one that should be dismissed the force. Ido not wish to include you in it, Sutton. The prisoners are discharged. SOUTHWARK. The owner of five small rooms in White Hart Inn-yard, High.etrest, was summoned before Mr. Woolrych, by Mr. Bngton, sanitary inspector to the St. Saviour's District Bad of Works, for leaving all of them in such • filthy and dilapidated condition as to be injurious to the health of the neighbourhood. Mr. Errington said that the rooms in question were in habited by 36 persons. The ceiling. and walls were not only filthy, but broken. There was only one water-closet for the whole, and that was without water, and very foul. He served notices on the occupiers and the owner, but nothing had been done. A solicitor, who attended for the owner, said that they intended to close up the premises shortly, as they were ooming down. Mr. Woolrych told him that people were living in them, and he made an order for the performance of the work in 14 days. The owner of 10, Orange-court was charged with a similar offence. Mr. Errington said that this house was in a very filthy state indeed. The privy wee filthy in the extreme, and at the door was a pool of stagnant water, owing to the yard being badly paved. A trap was required in the yard. Mr. Woolrych ordered the house to be thoroughly cleansed, and everything done that was required by the vestry, within seven days. In both cases his worship ordered the wets to be paid. Should not the work be per formed within the time specified, the vestry would wider. take it, and proceed against the suitors for the cost ex pended by them. Arthur Godfrey. • good-looking man, about 24 years of age, attired in a nearly new clerical suit, having the ap pearance of a high church minister, was brought before Mr. Woolryeh, charged with being found in No. 5, Grange terrace, Bermondsey, with intent to commit a felony ; also with having in his possession a number of housebreaking implements, constructed upon modern improvements, among which were a formidable " jemmy," that could be folded up and put in a side pocket ; a surgical instrument ease, fitted up with various skeleton keys ; a email curiously constructed dark lantern, and some lumfer matches. Mr. Walter Slott, army accoutrement maker 5, Grange terrace, said that on Sunday evening last he and his family went to church as usual, leaving the door locked on the latch. About half-past seven he was called out of church, and from what he beard of a neighbour, he proceed ed home, and on putting his key in, he found that it would not turn. He was about to go through his next neighbour's house, when he heard the bolt put back. He accordingly turned back, when his door was opened, and he saw the prisoner in the passage. He caught hold of him, and asked him what he wanted there. He replied that Mr. Jones, a gentleman of the chapel, had sent him there by mistake, and he was sorry for it. Witness told him he must detain him until a police-constable could be sent for, as he had no doubt he was a thief. Witness asked him what he had taken, he replied that he had taken some money from a purse in the front bedroom, and he handed him a sovereign, half-a-crown, a shilling, and a penny. Several of his neighbours came to his assistance, and the prisoner was banded over to the custody of a con stable. Witness then found that every room bad been entered, and some of the drawers ransacked ; and the money found on the prisoner was taken from one of the drawers in the front bedroom. The prisoner was remanded In order that inquiries might be made about him. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A PARISH CONTRAC TOL —At the Mer7lebone police court yesterday, George Curnock, the principal contractor for the scavengering of the parish of St. Pancras, was charged with uttering number of forged bills of exchange. Mr. William Aspinall ' , a stone merchant, of 280, High-street, Camden town said he had known the prisoner about fourteen years, as being a contractor, holding a good position in the parish. On the Bth March last, Mr. Anderton, one of the prisoner's clerks, came to him and asked him to discount a bill for 198/. Ild., purported to having been accepted by Mr. Thomas Curnock. After some persuasion he consented to discount the bill, and (less the usual percentage for discount) gave a cheque on the London and Westminster Bank, payable to Mr. George Curnock. Feeling some what suspicious, he followed the clerk to the door of his master's office, where he met the prisoner, who in answer to his inquiries said it was all right, and that he had drawn the bill on his brother Thomas for some clung he bad sold him. The bill, which was due on the 11th of June, was dishonoured, and on the following day the pri soner came into his office, and on learning that the bill was locked up in the desk he expressed his satisfaction, and hoped it would remain there until he got some money from the parish, when he would take it up. At that time he (witness), feeling ill, left town for about ten days, and on returning found that the prisoner had become a bankrupt. He (witness) was chairman at the first meeting of the prisoner's creditors, and had the prisoner called into the room, when he confessed that the whole of the signa tures to the bills of exchange produced were forged. The prisoner's brother sat at the table during the meeting, and at the same time other creditors said they held similar forged acceptances for sums varying from 4001. to 5001. He (witnevs) knew that at the present time there were forged bills of exchange out, signed by the prisoner, amounting to upwards of 5,0001. Some other evidence having been given the prisoner was remanded for a week. THE MANCHESTER STAMP-OFFICE ROBBERY.- The two men, Charles Batt and Charles Leeson (other wise Gleason), were brought before the magistrates at Manchester, yesterday, for further examination. A wit ness named Richard Shaw, a tailor, who had made clothes for Leeson, was the principal witness, and proved that Leeson was from home on the day of the robbery, that he was subsequently in pmmion of • (Feat number of stamps, which tie enclosed in a tin canister to bury thew. Roth prisoners were committed to the assizes, bad being refused: THE. COLLISION AND Loss OF LIFE ON THE RiTElL—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Richards, deputy coro ner, opened an investigation at the Town of Ramsgate Ta vern, Wapping, into the circumstances of a collision between the Woolwich steamboat Doris, and a lug boat, by which George Row, aged 45 years, and another man lost their lives. Samuel Hill, a custom-house officer, said that he witnessed the collision, which took place between one and two o'clock last Monday afternoon. He saw the steamer Doris coming up the middle of the river abreast of Hermitage tier, and a lag boat coining down with the tide, also in midstream. The deceased, Gearge Roe, was rowing; another man was sitting in the stern, but his view ahead was intercepted by packages of Geneva, which the boat was carrying down the river as stores for a ship. De ceased pulled his left car to avoid the steamer when he became aware of her proximity. The steamer did not after her course. The boat was struck on the side by the stern of the steamer, which nearly cut it in two, and remained embedded in it for a few seconds . The two men were pitched overboard and were drowned. The boat got clear of the steamer's stern, anddrifted under the paddle', which were by that time reversed, and was capsized. In wit ness's opinion the steamer was in fault. He was sure that the river was clear at the time, and that the Doris could have shifted her course. Mr. Fry, solicitor for the Wool wich Steamboat Company, applied for an adjournment of the case, in order that he might procure additional evi dence, and the court was adjourned accordingly. The deceased George Roe was a lighterman ; he has left a widow and four children unprovided for. The body of his companion has not been found. CRYSTAL PALACZ.

The London Hospital books yesterday showed for the first time since the 17th of July, that no oases of cholera had been admitted during the previous twenty-four hours. Four persons suffering from choleraic , diarrhoia had, how ever, been brought in. On Tuesday, six oases of cholera, and 4of the milder form of disease were admitted. The deaths on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively were two. The reooveries yesterday were twelve, seven from cholera and five from die:home. There remains in the hospital 46 cholera and 41 diarrhoea patients ; total, 87. The number of out-patients is 83. No deaths have occurred in the cholera hospital, Wap ping, during the week, and the admissions are now very few. The number of sick in the wards has fallen to 22. Nearly the whole of these patients were yerterday reported to be doing well. The diminution in the pressure on this hospital isconridered to be avery ratisfactoryprocithatthe severity of the epidemic has been mitigated in a remark able degree throughout the whole of the district included in the Stepney Union. THE MANSION HOUSE BELIEF COMMITTEE. Yesterday • special meeting of this committee was con vened at the Mansion-hoess by the Lord Mayor to confer with the chairmen of the various local committees in the east of London, who had been specially invited to meet them in reference to the distribution of the money which the committee has set apart with a view to aid the re covery of convalescent patients. The Lord Mayor °templed the chair, and addressing the delegates, explained that the committee which he had the honour to represent had bad the subject of dealing with convalescents from cholera, which was a pressing one, under consideration for some time, and had set apart the sum of 2,0001. for that express purpose. That being so they had thought it desirable to invite the attendance and co-operation of the chairmen of local committees in its distribution. They were induced to believe that by means of the public bounty, they and the Bishop of London's committee together had been the means of arresting the spread of the epidemic, and so averting what ought otherwise have become • great national calamity. The disease having now mate rially subsided the caw of the convales c ents pressed i for mmediate action, and the committee wanted to know from the local authorities the number of persons in their various localities ooming within that category, and to discuss with them the best means of sustaining and strengethening the many unhappy creative s who had suf fered from this severe visitation, and restoring them to their homes and families, or to such of their families as were spared to them. The committee had a certain sum of money entrusted to their care by the public for that and kindred purposes, and the great object they had in view was to apply it strictly for those purposes, taking care, at the same time, in the exercise of what they believed to be • wise discretion, that the y did not add pauperism to paupe . rism—(hear, hear)—desuing, on the other hand, as the wiser course to eaglet those who were disposed to assist themselves. They had considered the matter in all its different phases. Some gentlemen had thought it desirable to erect convalescent hospitals. That might well be • question for future consideration, but the committee were unanimously of opinion that they had first to deal with the present, and having, as they believed, under God's Providence, been instrumental in mitigating, if not entirely abating the disease, they must hope, with the co-operation of local committees, to whom the public at large owed the deepest gratitude for the services they had rendered in the emergency, to appropriate the money in such a way ',snot only to afford satisfaction to the sub scribers, but confer listing good on the poor. The committee afterwards mad* • number of grants for assisting convalesoents, leaving in every instance the money to be dispensed for that purpose at the discretion of the local committees, who are composed of ministers of reli gion and other principal inhabitants of the infected dia . . . The LORD MAYOR intimated that the next object of the committee was to provide for the maintenance of the orphans, for which purpose they had set apart 5,0001., and to that end they would hold another conference with the local committees on an early day. They had only one object in view, he said, and that was to do the greatest possible good with the money which the public had so generously placed at their disposal, and to do it promptly, adding that nothing could be more gratifying than the cordial manner in which the local committees, one and all, had cooperated with them. The local authorities then took their leave. Sir Moitmutrr WELLS, referring to the ravages of the disease in the district of Limehonse, with a population of 26,977, said it appeared from a return sent to him that from the week ending July 14 to that ending Sept. 1 there had been 182 deaths from cholera and 98 from diarrhoia. or 280 in all; in other words in six weeks a hundredth part of the population of Limehouse had died of the pestilence. Dr. ANDREW CLERK physiclan'to the London Hospital, referred, from his own knowledge, to the great good which Mrs. Gladstone was doing for convalescent children. At one time, he said, the hospital was nearly choked with convalescent children. They had no home to go to, and no clothes to put on, and the hospital was fast becoming a sort of poorhouse; but Mrs. Gladstone stepped in and removed 28 of these children to the House of Charity in Greek-street, Soho, and afterwards took a temporary home at Brighton. He had that morning paid a visit to the House of Charity, and was extremely pleased with all he saw. The children were happy-looking and joyous, and altogether the institution was being conducted in • systematic and business-like manner. While the subject of affording means to enable conva lescents to go into the country for the benefit of fresh eir was under consideration, • member of the committee re lated a circumstance which had come wider his own obser vations daring the epidemic, to show how the poorest poor are wedded to their own homes and modes of life, wretched though these often are in the last degree. One Saturday, while the cholera was prevalent, he visited • poor widow who had been taken with the disease in a room she occupied with her children in one of the poorest parts of Spitalfields. He called again on the following Monday and found she was dead and buried, and that her youngest child, who had caught the epi demic, had been taken to the hospital. She had died, leaving nine orphans. He went to see after the family, and found that four of them had been taken to the work house, one (the youngest) was in the hospital, and the re maining four, three of whom were girls 18, 17, and 16 years of age, and one a boy of 13, were living in what he called • piggery belonging to a railway, and in which there was not a single pane of glass. One lived by making braid, and the three others by making Incffer-match boxes, at which they earned 20. a gross, and they could make perhaps three gross • day. None of them could read or write. They were utterly and absolutely ignorant. They could not sew, and none of the girls had even a shift. He offered to clothe them decently and give them a dinner every day, provided they would do a little sewing in return, but every one of them refused, saying they would rather live as they were. That, said the member of the committee who related the story, was more deplor able to his mind than the prevailing distress. NARROW ESCAPE OF • Plc-Nic PARTY FROM DBOWNING.—A boat accident, which was nearly fatal to nine persons, occurred upon the Thames in the vicinity of Windsor on Monday afternoon. Riding-master Boswell, of the Royal Horse Guards, accompanied by Mrs. Boswell, Mr. and Mrs. Devereux, of Eton, with Mr. Howard Deve rent, ?bliss Blanche Devereux, Miss Amy Devereux, and Muter Bertie Devereuz, hired a boat at Tollada's Boat for the purpose of proceeding up the river to Monkey Island, where the party bad made arrangements for a pic nic. A boatman named Wells was in attendance, while Riding-muter Boswell was steering. They had pr oceeded up the Thames some distance from Windsor, and bad reached the backwater of an sit near Monkey Wand, when the boat, which was a large one, struck upon • stake in the middle of the river, where there was a great depth of water, and immediately commenced filling. With admi rable presence of mind, Riding-master Boswell sprung from the boat, and, seizing it by the head, held it in its position, fixed as it was to the stake, and thus preventing the frail craft from being swept with its human freight to destruction by the current, which at this spot was very strung. In • few seconds the boat was filled with water to the gunwale, and it became necessary to remove the ladies, who were immersed to their waists. Mr. Howard Devereux threw himself out of the boat, and carried his sister Amy safely to the shore, Miss Blanche being removed by the Riding Master and her mother, who had waded up, to theirneckstoa willow bed,tho three being nearly swept away and drowned by the stream. Mr. Deve reux, who could not swim, continued to make to the bank, and the only person s ) then left in the boat were M. Boswell and Mrs. Devereuz, the former lady coura geously refusing to leave the sinking craft while her friend remained in it. Strange to say, the boatman re fused to assist in rescuing the ladies from the danger, giving as a reason the fact of his doctor having ordered him not to go into the water. Mr. Howard Devereuz, though exhausted from over-exer tion, swam ashore in order to get assistance, as it was every moment expected that the boat and the ladies would be swept away. Running along the bank in • dis tracted manner in search of assistance he encountered two gentlemen (?), to whom he appealed for help, and who re fused it. He, however, made his way in the direction of Monkey Island, and got possession of a punt and the as sistance of • man with • boat. Both returned with all speed to the spot wherie d Mrs. De t v he acciden re t had happened, and I the perilous position which they had cupier, intinused from as they were for about three-quarters of as hour...Riding master Boswell having held the boat in its position, the courageous officer all the while having the water up to his neck. The whole party were at once conveyed to Monkey Island, and restorative' used to recover Mrs. Howard Devereux, who bad succumbed to exhaustion and exposure to the sold and water. ! Tki? - ACC : MST/2 ; 11N THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. ELY. WED/MOAT. The inquiry into the circumstances attendant upon the late accident on the Great Eastern Railway between Chittisham and Ely stations (on the Peterborough branch) was resumed this afternoon at the Shire-ball, before Mr. Wm. Marshall, the coroner. The interest of the public in the proceedings had not abated, the body of the court and the gallery being densely crowded. There were present on the part of the company Mr. Robertson, the superintendent of the line; Mr. Johnson, locomotive engineer ; Mr. Davis, engineer of permanent way; Mr. Sproul, the district superintendent; Mr. Attock, carriage superiltendent ; Mr. Mao:alien, of the locomotive department at Cambridge ; and Mr. Slaw, law clerk of the company, to watch the proceedings. In the morning Captain Tyler, of the Royal Engineers, attended at the company's station end there took the evidence of Fuller, the guard, and Shepherd, the fireman. The inquiry was a private one, and, this over, the in spector, accompanied by the officials of the company, again proceeded to the scene of the accident to ex amine into the working of the signals, for Fuller, the guard, stated to the inspector that the auxiliary on the day of the accident was shut, or down, against the train, and that Brown, the driver, " whistled it off," thus flatly contradicting the evidence of Clark, the signal man, who stated to the.coroner at the first sitting of the Inquest that the auxiliary is invariably kept at " all right." More on this point will be found below. The Jury assembled at half•past one, and the proceed ings commenced about two. The Ordnance map, and elaborate plena of the rails, signals, and premises generally, contiguous to the scene of the accident, were put in — the latter prepared for the information of the coroner and jury, at the instance of the company. Captain Tyler, the government inspector, was present during the whole of the proceedings. The Coroner, at the close of the examination of the witnesses, proceeded to a most elaborate resume of the evidence, and at the close of a most clear exposition, observed that on the first sitting the question was whether the accident bad been caused by over-speed, but the evi dence of the government inspector had clearly settled that question, as he was of opinion that the train might— everything else being in proper condition—have travelled with safety at a faster rate than it was travel lin at the the period of the accident. It appeared to him that the accident was entirely caused by the defect in the rails. The signals had been shown to be all right. However, if they thought that the accident was occasioned_ by any nee!' of the driver, it would be teir duty, painful as it might be, as the poor fellow was in his grave, to return a verdict of manslaughter against him. It appeared to him that they had three alternatives as to the verdict they would return—either manslaughter against William Brown ; an open verdict, by which blame could be attached to no particular person ; or thirdly, that it was simply and purely an recident. The jury retired, and after an absence of about twenty minutes, returned into court, and delivered the following verdict :—" Accidental death, caused by the train running off the raiL We are of opinion from the evidence of Captain Tyler, that a break van should be attached to the last carriage of every passenger train." ENGLISH JOINT STOCK BARK (LIMITED). A meeting of the shareholders in the English Joint Stock Bank was held yesterdayat the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The meeting had been called by Messrs. Kemp and Chatter's, the official liquidators in compliance with the terms of the Companies Act, 1 8 62, to hear any objections which shareholders might have to urge against a call which they announced their intention of making. Mr. Kean , occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance of shareholders. The notice calling the meeting having been read, Mr. Mssrctsa said before the business of the meeting further, he thought it necessary that the share- Cire e rs de l l hould have some explicit information of the reasons which had rendered a call necessary, beyond the purely technical ones given by the legal adviser in the circular. He had very good reason to believe that the assets of the bank were amply sufficient to pay all liabili ties without calling upon the shareholders to pay any more money out of pocket. For himself he felt—and he had no doubt that the majority of the shareholders would feel with him—that if there was to be • call of 41. per share, or perhaps in the long run 81. per share, they had better pay it to resuscitate the company than throw it into the hole of liquidation. (Hear, bear.) Let the liquidator then give the meeting something more than a technical explanation why they wanted to make a call. He believed that those who were able to pay . would rather pay money I to set the bank upon its legs again, and he was firmly per suaded that if they all put their shoulders to the wheel and gave a hoist together they would be able to lift the bank out of the nick which it was in and see it once more a ring and flourishing concern. Or. CHANDLNS reminded the chairman that when last they met be asked what would be the amount of a call if any were made, and was answered that certainly not more than 21. per share would be needed to pay everything, taking assets into consideration. He wished to know whe the call of 41. per share which they proposed to make that day would be • final call, or if a further call would be neesseary. Mr. Kilt?, in reply to questions, said he was glad to be able to assure the shareholders, in reference to the ream, tion of the assets of the bank, that nothing had occurred since the liquidators were appointed by the court to cause him to alter the opinion he expressed at a previous meet ing in reference to them. Ho then referred to the decision of the Lord Chancellor, in the case of Overend, Gurney, and Co., brought before his lordship by Kr. Henry Grup sell, and said that, in the face of that decision, the liqui deters felt that, to do the shareholders who were not cre ditors justice, they ought not to pay out a large sum of money by way of a dividend of Bs. in the pound, as they proposed doing in the next few days, when they felt morally certain that some of it would never come back. Very many of the creditors who would participate in the dividend were shareholders also ; and it was but fair, in the interest of those shareholders who were not creditors, that they, as liquidators, should not part with money to creditors who might give them an immensity of trouble in enforcing payment of a call, should it be neceserry to make one afterwards. The feeling was that creditors should be paid, and if shareholders knew of the many letters which the liquidators had received, urging the necessity of a call, and saying that the money loaned or deposited with the bank had been upon the faith of the share list and security of the uncalled capital, they would raise no further objec tions to the course proposed. With reference to the loans, the bank had sonic 31 branches, and there was some diffi. I culty in enforcing payment of theft loans at the pre sent moment. Having regard to the largeness of the amount in the eructate, it would be worse than madness to attempt an immediate realisation of the assets, because such a course could not result other wise than in a great positive loss, whereas, if a little time were given, it was most proba ble that the whole would be got in. He felt certain that no shareholder would entertain the opinion that the call would be made unless an imperative necessity de manded it, in the interest of all parties. (Cheers.) The balance now at the bank was 72,000/., and it was the in. tention of the liquidators not to press the call upon those shareholders who loyally and frankly admitted their lia bility, and their inability to pay at the present moment, but on the contrary, to give every reasonable time for pay ment. (Cheers.) He could not lay down any specific rule on the matter, further than to say that the ease of each individual shareholder would be dealt with as it arose, upon its merits. (Cheers.) The country branches had been closed and virtually the expenses attendant upon them ceased the day the bank stopped. He could not at that moment say off hand the precise amount paid for each of the country branches, the money was paid by the directors, long before the liquidators were appointed, but any information which shareholders required would be most cheerfully given upon application being made either to himself or his colleagues at the bank. (Hear, hear.) As to the liability of the directors to recoup the 13,0001. spent in the shares of the bank, he would only state broadly that there was scarcely a matter involving a liability of any one connected with the bank or its transactions but what the facts had been examined, and they were still under inves tigation. The shareholders might rely upon it that what ever duty might devolve upon them in reference to trans actions which had been called in question, neither himself nor his colleagues would shrink from discharging it how ever onerous or personally distasteful it might be. (Loud cheers.) There were 18,000 shares which had been settled upon the list of contributories, and there were about 2,000 which were the subject of special inquiry, but the meeting might rely upon it that the gentlemen holding than 2,000 shares would not be 'Bowed to go off scot free ; but until the legal difficulties were settled they must be left out of consideration. The call ought to realise about 40,0002., bat there were some shareholders who really could not pay. The objects of the liquidators lin making the call were twofold ; firstly, to secure the money to pay creditors ; and secondly, to be certain that the dividend they were about to pay did not go into the pockets of those shareholders who would not ultimately pay their calls. The breed issue was this, that if they, as liquidators, did not take steps to pay the creditor of the bank the creditors would take step to pay them selves, and, moreover, the meeting would see that the course of bringing every one to book would be much 113111. plifled after the creditors had been paid, and thus rendered unable to interfere. After some further discuaslan, Mr. Kemp announced that the liquidators bad that day made a call of 41. per share, payable on the 10th of September, and that the call would be set against the dividend and the balance handed over. The proceedings then terminated. LONDON GIICIRAL 08011.11118 COIIPAIIT (LAMBS. -Trak receipts for week ma* 044. 4. 11,0741 L L. f'd. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Captain ?rands, the master of the ship Edith Owen, the property of Messrs. Wood and Co., ship owners, of Cannon-street, yesterday attended before Sir R. Carden, to answer a summons which charged him with having neglected and refused to pay the sum of 31. 14s. Bd., the balance of wages due to John Morey, an able seaman on board the vessel. Mr. Wontner appeared for the defendant. From the statement of the complainant it appeared that he bad shipped on board the Edith Owen at Shields in June last, on a voyage to Hamburg and from thence to Lisbon. The vessel, he said, was laden with guns, shot, and shells, and other contraband of war, and instead of sailing to Hamburg she went to the Faros Islands on the north of Scotland, where she remained several days, and was joined by two other vessel, belonging to the same owners—the Imperial and the Tornado. When they sailed they were chased by a government vessel, but succeeded in getting away, and the captain then told the crew that he was going to London, but instead of doing so they proceeded to Flushing. While they were at the Faroe Islands the defendant, he said, offered the crew 41. extra for their lon of time, but they were all ultimately discharged without being paid their wages, and he now claimed the sum mentioned in the summons se the balance due to him, and he also considered himself entitled to the 41. that was promised him by the defendant. In answer to questions put by Mr. Wontner, the com plainant admitted that he had summoned the defendant to the Thames Police-court, but said that Mr. Partridge, the presiding magistrate, declined, under the circumstances, to make any order, and told him that he must apply to the Board of Admiralty. He also admitted that the sum he now claimed bad been offered to him, but he refused to take it without the additional 41. that he was promised by the captain. Mr. Wontner, in answer to the complainant, said that there had never been any objection to pay the complainant the sum he now claimed, but he r insisted upon having the other 41. With reference to that his instructions were that when the crew build that the captain was in a difficulty they refused to work and raise the anchor unless be pro mised to give them the 41. in addition to their wages, and in consequence of these intimidations he was compelled to promise to do so. The defendant was then examined, and he proved the facts as stated by Mr. Wontner. He said that he was now ready to pay the money the complainant was really entitled to. Sir R. Carden said that he thought the complainant ought to be satisfied with this, and he might consider him self lucky that he had not been charged with an offence in intimidating his captain. Captain Francis said that the complainant was the ring leader in the affair. Sir R. Carden then observed that he wee informed that one of the other vessels that had been mentioned was seized by the government, and he was afraid that the vessel was engaged for some illegal object. He should advise Captain Francis to be careful in future, or he would be liable to have his vessel seized for having contraband of war on board. Captain Francis said he did not know anything about the cargo. Several of the crew who were present exclaimed that the captain knew very well that the vessel was laden with guns and shells. Captain Francis said all he knew was that there were so many cases of " goods "on board. (A laugh.) Sir R. Carden said he was afraid there could be no doubt as to the nature of the cargo, and under all the circum stances the complainant was clearly not entitled to the 4/., bet only to the balance of his wages. An order to that effect was accordingly made. GUILDHALL. Thomas Keys, a labourer, who refused his address, was placed at the bar before Alderman Stone, charged with asseulting his employer in a most savage in a manner manner, and also with assaulting a police-constable calculated to do him a permanent injury. Mr. John Perry said he was a contractor at Stratford, and was engaged in building some houses in Basinghall street. The prisoner bad been in his employ as a labourer. About 3 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he went to inspect the building, and found the prisoner quarrelling with the driver of a stone truck. It was his duty to assist to unload the trucks, but he had Mused the driver's dog, and wee quarrelling with him and making use of the most foul language. He asked the prisoner his name, with the viewof having him discharged. He gave his name, but followed the witness into the building, threats ning and abusing hint in a manner he had never before heard. The prisoner followed out his threat by striking him a violent blow on the face, and knocking him down on a heap of stone, then catching him by the throat tried to strangle him. Mr. Lee, the architect of the building, came to his assistance, and the prisoner then attacked him like a wild beast. In answer to questions front the prisoner, Mr. Perry denied that he called the prisoner a ruffian and a scoundrel before he was struck, but admitted he might have done so afterwards. Mr. Lee, the architect of the building, corroborated Mr. Perry'. statement, and said that when he interfered, the prisoner turned upon him in the most savage manner and assaulted him. Police-constable George Purser, 140, said he was called to take the prisoner into custody, but toned that he had left the building. He overtook him in Guildhall-passage, and told him that he charged him with assaulting Mr. Perry and Mr. Lee, and that he had better go with him quietly. The prisoner said he should not go for him or anybody else, and he then took him by the collar, upon which be kicked him in the groin so severely that he was suffering great agony while giving his evidence. With tbe assist ance of another constable and the bystanders, the prisoner's legs were tied together, and he was conveyed to the station. He did not kick again. The prisoner, in defence, said that he was drunk, and they irritated him. Alderman Stone said that his conduct had been mod brutal, and he should send him for two months to the House of Correction at Holloway, with hard labour, and one month in addition for the assault on the policeman. CLERICSNWHLL. Charles Capparl, a carpenter, of 5, Winchester-street, Caledonian-road, was charged on remand with assaulting his wife, Sarah Coppard. Mr. Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associate Institute for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, watched ths case; and Mr. Ricketts de fended. The wife, who appeared very ill from the effects of prisoner's violenoe, said she did not wish to hurt her hus band, as when be was sober he was very well, but when he was drunk he behaved shamefully towards her. On Mon day night he came home drunk and abused her, and threw a stool at her, which struck her on the head and cut it,snd she fell in an almost insensible state. She became so ill front the effects of the prisoner's violence towards her that it was found necessary to remove her to the Royal Free Hospital Gray's-inn-road, and Mr. John Daniel Hill, the resident medical offioer, certified that she was suffering from a wound of the scalp, from which she had kat a eon , siderable quantity of blood, and that she is now in attendance at the hospital as an out Wiest.
