THE CHOLERA. Yesterday, nearly 8001. was received at the Mansion-house towards the Cholera Belief Fund, in addi tion to money paid into banks in connection with it, thus making the total amount of subscriptions up to laat even hitout 8,0001., or about 1,0001. a.day. The relief own held a meeting yesterday to consider applications for assistance from the fund, and to make grants in money according to the oircumstanou, and to he distributed in all cues through the agency of local committees. Before the committee separated, Dr. Andrew Clark, physi cian to the Ludas Hospital, and • member of the committee, took occasion to say that it wu • great mistake to think, as some of the committee had aplutred to do, that he was oppoeed to the proposal for establishing • tempo rary cholera hospital in Commercial-street, Whiteehapel. (In the contrary, he said he thought every p Mon should be made for any fresh outbreak of cholera ; but at the same time he held that to herd together a great many people afflicted with cholera in one place without due regard to space and to carry out theories of ventilation was a dangerous experiment. Some doctors thought that 500 cubic feet of =was enough for each patient in an hospital for ra patients, but he contended that 1,000 cubic feet was the very least that should be allowed for each pa tient. For himself, he said he should prefer 1,200 cubic feet for each bed, and he must enter his protest against any hospital for the reception and treatment of cholera patients which provided no greater space fur each patient than 500 cubic feet. Sir Mordaunt Wells, speaking from his own experience, said 1,200 cubic feet was the apace allowed in India for each patient. Up to yesterday evening the committee had voted in all during the last week 2,360/., to be expended towards the prevention of cholera, the relief of patients, and the prevailing distress I consequent upon the visitation, in addition to quantities of port wine. The total amount granted yesterday alone by the committee to be so expended was 8251. The sanitary committee of St. Marylebone met yester day, and it was reported by Dr. Whitmore, the medical officer of health, that there had not yet been one case of death from cholera in the pariah. Although but a few days have elapsed since a resolution was come to by the committee to build • cholera hospital in the stone yard, the work has been pushed forward with such rapidity that it is now completed. The hospital, which is constructed of iron, is about 60 feet long and 25 feet broad, and will contain 40 beds. Dr. Leach the resident medical officer on board the hospital ship 13elleisle, writes :—" It may be useful to inform some of your readers that the boats now occupied in the work of ship-to-ship visitation in the river (a plan recently organised by the Seamen's Hospital Society), carry a white flag with the letters 'S. IL' inscribed thereon,-that they have remedies for diarrhoea and disin fectants on board, and that the medical visitors are very glad to be hailed for the purpose of giving advice and medicines." Dr. Lerweer, the medical officer of health, at a meeting of the Commuunoners of Sewers yesterday, presented a report in reference to the sanitary condition of the city of London. He stated that 480 houses had been in spected during the last fortnight, and that 218 orders had been issued for sanitary improvement. Carbolic acid had been largely used with the water for watering the streets, and in this way the atmosphere of the City had been tho roughly disinfected. In conclusion, he stated that with the view of maintaining active inspection of the City during the next few weeks, he had appointed the four general inspectors to make a thorough and systematic in spection of all the houses in their respective districts. In that way he hoped that the sanitary condition of the City would be maintained in as perfect a manner as possible. The guardians of the East London Union, at a meeting yesterday, received from Mr. F. H. Simpson, the medical adviser of the board, returns, from which it appeared that for the week ending on Saturday last there had been 697 eases of cholera and diarrhwa in the union, of which num ber five cases hadterminated fatally, whilst in the previous week there had been 672 attacks and six deaths. Of the number of attacks last week eight had been cases of obolera, one of which had been fatal ; the number in the previous week of cholera being eight cases, of which six bad ended fatally. In the temporary cholera hospital in New-street, Bishopegate, seven cases had been admitted during the last week, but there had been no deaths, whilst in the previous week there had been ten cases admitted, end six death". There had been one death in the union from cholera the day previoualy. The decrease in the number of cases of cholera through out the east-end generally continues, but in some localities there appear to be exceptions to the rule. The number in the London Hospital remains nearly stationary. Those admit ted to that institution during the last 24 hours were in all 14, of whom 11 suffered from cholera (as against son the previous day), and 3 from diarrhme,. The deaths were 4. Sixteen persons left the building cured or conva lescent, 10 women and a baby being removed to two cot tages at Waltham Abbey, kindly placed at their disposal by private benevolence, and furnished with bedding, crockery, ate., by the hospital authorities. The total number of cases still in the hospital is 106, of whom P.O suffer from cholera and 26 from choleraic diarrhcea. At Bromley. in and about Richard-street, Wilson-street, and Willa-street, the disease is very severe, and appears to have become more intense within the last day or two. Great distress is prevalent in Bromley, Bow, Poplar, and the neighbourhood, owing to the want of employment. In the Isle of Dogs many of the great shipbuilding yards and iron works have had to diminish the number of their hands to less than half. Out of London there are no serious reports of an increase of cholera. Five now cases were treated in Dublin on Tuesday, but they had not terminated fatally. Four fatal cases have unfortunately occurred at Apple,lore, in the West of England. Yesterday another case was reported in Preston. The following are the London returns of choler% and diarrhwa for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday Cholera. Diarrho3a.

A HARD NECESSITY. —On Tuesday at the Sheriffs' Court, before the Common Serjeant (sitting for Commissioner Ker) more than twenty ejectment summonses were returnable against poor labourers and women and families who lived in Lower Union-court, Holborn-hill. All the defendants attended to dis pute thew. Mr. Fidge, the landlord, deposed that the premises in which theser creatures lived were re quired by the Corporation f or City improvement& He had given his tenants due notice of this, but they refused to leave on the plea that they had nowhere else to go. He bad no fault to find with any of the tenants, who had always paid their way, and conducted themselves pro perly. The defendants, each answering to his or her name, appeared to be in the greatest distress at being turned out of their homes. One young labourer said, "Ifl am turned oat I do not know where I can go. I have a wife and three children, and have walked many miles looking for a place. I cannot afford to give much rent, and tow the cholera is so much about people will not take as in. There is another thing, too. I work for the Sewers Commissioners, and of course people will object to my brooms." His lordship said he was very sorry for the defendant, but ho must go out in ten days. Defendant —I don't know what to do His lordship remarked that great efforts were being made to provide homes for the ..r, and he hoped proper accommodation would soon • afforded them. An elderly man here came forward, and said he had lived in the court some years. Now, it was all very well to say that they must leave, but where could they go, if they could find no places! Rents of rooms were nearly doubled, and how the poor were to go on he did not know. His lordship confessed that all this was very pain ful, but the law must be carried out. A tidy-looking old woman was the next defendant, and she said she had lived in the court 25 years, and had kept • mangle during the whole of that period. It was extremely hard that she should be turned out now for nothing at all, and if she really had to leave she would certainly be ruined. His lordship asked the plaintiff if the corporation had notgiven anycompensation tothe defendants. He thought sometimes, under these circumstances, a small compensation was given. Mr. Fidge did not think any had been given in this in stance. He bad not heard of any. His lordship, after hearing all the defendants had to say, observed that he really felt very sorry for them, but they must go out, as the property was required for a great public improvement. Some of the defendants here called out, "And so we must be turned out of our houses into the streets, for we have no places to go to. " His Lordship—Ton must look about you. I hope that there will soon be sufficient dwelling accommodation for the poor. The usual ten days' eject ment order was then made, and the defendants left the court in a wretchedly disconsolate manlier. THE IMPENDING LOCK-OUT OF JOINERS IN MAN CHEATER.—The dispute between the joiners of Manchester and their employers has approached a crisis--a strike has occurred, and • lock-out may result. The last number of the Builders' Trade Cirridar states that two years ago the wages of the joiners in Manchester were raised, the men then giving a very short notice, and obtaining the advance in a manner which the masters considered somewhat unfair. The bricklayers have lately received an advance of 2a. per week, the first advance for eleven years, and this is made the occasion by the joiners of • demand for • second advance of 2s. within two years. Proceeding from discussion to their more forcible argument, on the 4th inst. the men in the employ of Mr. Joseph Thompson, of City-road, struck work. This practical threat did not move the masters, and accordingly on Saturday, the 11th inst., the joiners employed by Messrs. Robert Neill and Sons, one of the largest firms in the city, struck work. The master builders met at the Clarence Hotel, when the whole of the local trade was represented ; and it was unanimously resolved that, unless the men now on strike return to work on or before Friday, the 17th inst., " the whole of the employers in this association [that is, all the master builders in Manchester and Salford] will make common cause with Messrs. Neill and Mr. Thompson, and close their shops on the nest pay day, until thedispute is nettled." The masters offer to pay the advance sated for next March. That is about air months hence ; and as the rise demanded is 2s. per week, the whole amount at 'sane is some 52a, or less than two weeks' wages, at the average rate of 305.

NAVAL COURT-MAILTILL. -A court-martial assem bled this morning on board the Formidable, 84, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, Bart., X.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of Mr. Walter Charles Batty, second-dais assistant-engineer, belonging to the Cumberland, 70, guardship of the steaM reserve.

Bingham, Formidable ; and Commander H. B. Crozier, Cumberland. Mr. G. H. Knight, Adiiiiralty solicitor, Rochester, officiated as deputy-judge advocate, and conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was arraigned on two charges : first, for having refused to obey the signals made from the Cumberland to the Mars, 68, for him to proceed on board the Cumberland ; and se cond, for having, on the 4th inst., been drunk on bOard her Majesty's ship Cumberland. The prisoner pleaded guilty to both charges, and threw himself on the mercy of the court. After remaining some time in deliberation, the court sentenced the prisoner to be dismissed her Ma jesty's service. An order has been received from the Admiralty, di recting that no alteration is to be made in the bow of the Blanche, 4, 350-horse power, one of the " improved" Amazon clam of sloops, building at this dockyard from the designs of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy. Seven officers and 200 men of all ranks of the Royal Engineers have proceeded from this garrison to Shoebury nese, to carry out some engineering operations at that station. PORTSMOUTH, Arcust 15. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty dined last evening with the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir T. S. Parsley, Bart_ and, with the exception of the First Lord, afterwards attended the ball given in aid of the funds of the Royal Seamen and Marines School and Female Orphan Home. This morning they inspected the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard, Hasler Slip-way and Hospital, and the Marine Barracks at Forton. In the afternoon they proceeded to Fort Cumberland and Eastness Barracks, and will to-morrow inspect the shipping in harbour. The Helicon, paddle despatch vessel, Commander Morgan Singer, arrived at Spithead last evening from the Channel squadron, with supernumeraries and invalids, and came into harbour this morning. The Bellerophon, 14, iron screw frigate, Captain Edward Tatham, steamed out of harbour to-day, for a preliminary trial of her engines, and will test her speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay to-morrow.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AUGUST 15. (Before Mr. Oommierioner Holroyd.) CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) Harriet Droniord, 30, was charged with the manslaughter of her child, Emily Dromord. Mr. Collins and Mr. M. Moir conducted the prosecution. This case was one of a very shocking character. It ap that the prisoner was a married woman, but she C a d re ether left or been deserted by her husband, and had two children under her care —one, the deceased, who was about four months' old, and a boy about three years' of age. The evidence appeared . to establish that the pri soner was in the habit of leaving the children at home in the most miserable and destitute state, while she went out and got drunk, and upon one occasion, when she was in a public-horse in a partially intoxi cated oondition, she was seen to throw the de ceased child upon the ground, and after it bad been picked up she gave it gin and beer to drink. The evidence given by Dr. Rogers, the medical officer of the Strand Union, who saw the deceased child shortly before its death, and made a post-mortem examination, was of a most painful description. It appeared that on the 17th of July the prisoner went to the union with the deceased child, very drunk, and she was admitted to the casual ward. On the following morning Dr. Rogers saw the child, and was struck with its emaciated condition, but upon the prisoner representing that she was a married woman and desiring to go home he allowed her to depart. She went to the union on the following night, again drunk, with the child, which was taken from her and placed in the charge of a nurse, and every necessary attention paid to it, but it died a few days after wards. Dr. Rogers, in describing the condition of the child, said that it was blind of both eyes, one of them having completely sloughed away, and the blindness being the consequence of disease. The child only weighed four pounds and a half, the weight of a child of that age being I ordinarily about twelve pounds, and it was in the most emaciated condition, and there was an entire absence of fat. There was extreme pallor all over the body, and from all the appearances that presented themselves he was of opinion that the death of the child had been cer tainly accelerated, if not occasioned, by want of proper food and nourishment, and the administration of improper food to a child of such tender age. The prisoner, who had behaved very flippantly during the roceedings , put several questions to the di ff erent witnes p ses, and she abused them when they did not give her the answers she expected. When she was called upon for her defence, she declared that she had always taken care of the child, but it bad been ill from its birth, and she asserted in an impudent tone that the child was not properly treated in the workhouse, and that she be lieved if the child had been left in her charge she would have been alive now. The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner. The learned judge said there was no doubt that the pri soner had been leading a dissipated and immoral life, and that this had been the cause of her grossly neglecting her child and accelerating its death. He then rentenced her to 12 months' hard labour. TO BOMBAY VIA BRINDIBI. The report from the select committee of the House of Commons on the subsidised " East India Com munications " states that a weekly servies to Bombay alone is strongly recommended, and that " the separate portal service between this country, i Madras, end Calcutta should be discontinued ;" and this decision s arrived at in the prospect of the early completion of the main lines of rail way communication connecting the port of Bombay with Calcutta, Madras, the North West Provinces, and the Punjab. There can be no doubt that Bombay is destined to become, on the completion of the great lines of railway, the chief port in India for the arrival and departure of paseengers, as well as her Majesty's mails, specie, and the entire light traffic of the overland route. The London and Bombay Steam Transit Corporation (Li mited)," which was formed and registered 'here in Novem ber last, are again exerting themselves to secure the esta blishment of the company on a sound, comprehensive, and substantial basis. This desideratum has been delayed solely in consequence of the severe monetary crisis at home and in Bombay, as well as in other parts of British India. By the latest advice' from Bombay, however, every en couragement is now held out in favour of the immediate prosecution of the undertaking, in which several European and wealthy Parsee and other merchants and bankers take a deep interest. We understand, moreover, that the di ' rectors are sending out their agent by an early mail to re , open the subscription list, as numerous applications have already been recorded in Bombay. By the prospectus of the corporation. it appears that their vessels are arranged to start from Falmouth, Liver pool, or Milford Haven, or some other port in England, and from Brindisi (the ancient port of Brindusium), in the south of Italy, and thence to Alexandria, from which port I the transit will be continued rid Suez to Bombay, and vice next By fixing on Brindisi as the port of departure from the continent, in place of Marseilles, a saving of 800 miles, or about three days of sea passage, will be effected and other collateral advantages secured. The official report of Captain W. H. Tyler, of the Royal Engineers, to his Grace the Duke of Montrose, her Ma ' jesty's Postmaster-General, dated the 19th ult., which has Bet been issued, is strongly and conclusively in favour of rindisi as the beet port in the Mediterranean for the ' arrival and departure of the overland mails rid Egypt, because the time of transit between London and Bombay I will be shortened by several days. He says in his most ' able, exhaustive, and elaborate report, that " under all the circumstances of the case, I am of opinion that the route rid Brindisi may properly be adopted for the Eastern mail service, as affording greater advantages at the time than any . other route, and, further, that it might be brought into operation by the let of June, 1867. It will thus be possible next year to convey the Eastern , mails between London and Alexandria punctually in 110 I hours." _ . . . The Italian government, Captain Tyler says, are ex tremely favourable, and have volunteered to grant every assistance, and to facilitate the rapid transit of the mails, as well as to cause special attention to be devoted to the comfort and safety of the passengers by every means at their command. In the transit to Brindisi there is the option of two routes overland, which the directors of the company intend shall be made available—viz., the one through France, rid Macon and over Mont Cenis to Buses in Italy —thence to Alexandria, Piacenza, Bologna, &c., along the Eastern Italian coast ; the other by way of Ostend and the European Central route from Lucerne, in Switzer land, to Bellinzona, Como, Milan, and thence by the East Coast Railway, which is now complete, to Brindisi. The contract time for the conveyance of the mails, rid Marseilles to Bombay, is at present twenty-four days, but the new company point out that, by laying on a superior class of vessels and of larger tonnage, time rid Brindisi would be reduced to about seventeen or eighteen days, which would be a great boon to all who are inter , ested in our vast Indian empire. The present government have, with a promptitude ' highly creditable to them, agreed to carry out the re commendation of the " select committee " to despatch a mail from London to Bombay weekly ; and on this point we would venture to suggest that this mail should be made up every Friday evening, and thus permit our East India merchants to enjoy relaxation from business until the following Monday. THE BALA LAKE SCHEME I , )R THE LIVERPOOL WATER .SUPPLY.—The Liverpool Town Council held a special meeting yesterday fur the discussion of this sub ject, which has of late caused a good deal of attention and anxiety. Mr. Duncan, the engineer to the corporation, has reported in favour of obtaining water from the Bala lake un North Wales), and the estimated expenditure is about one and a half million. At present the supply of water to Liverpool is obtained from the Rivington works, from wells sunk in the red aaudatone rock which under lies the town. The opponents of the Bala scheme con tended yesterday that the Rivington works had already coat 2,000,0001., and that the supply obtained from them, with the added and improving supply from the wells, was sufficient for the demands of the town for seven years. If the new scheme was carried out, the Rivington works woud have to be disposed of at an enormous sacrifice. It was stated too, on this aide of the question, that Liverpool had already spent far more than Man chester and Glasgow, and quite as much in proportion to population as London, on the water supply. On the other side it smui urged that the town now contained half a mil lion of inhabitants ; that there was a very largely increas ing demand for water for trading, domestic, and miscella ' neous purposes ; that in eight or ten yews the population would be increased to 800000, and in 20 years to 1,000,000 ; that the wisest plan in public works of this kind was to take time by the forelock ; that the present area of the town em braced 60 square miles, and that in the periods men tioned this area would be very largely increased, while this increase would naturally tend to the deterioration of the existing wells. Mr. Boloe (chairman of the Water Committee) moved that Mr. DIUM/119 re port be submitted to one or more engineers of eminence for their opinion as to its advisability, the cost of carrying out the Bala scheme, and as to how far the existing sources of supply might be largely developed ; but ulti mately an amendment by Mr. Clint was adopted to the effect • that the committee be empowered to employ engineering talent to investigate the local sources of supply before pro ceeding to the cousideration of larger and more distant operations. SUDDEN BREAK-UP OF THE FRASERBUROH HER arso FINDING. —lt now appears that what at the time was thought to be unjustifiable and cowardly conduct on . the part of the Highlanders, in violating their engagements and dying from the cholera, wag only the prelude to a more general, and, for many reasons, more serious flight of almost the entire fishing population from the same enemy. The cholera for the past week, so far from abating, had all the appearance of becominmore calamitous ; and, being chiefly confined in its attac ks to individuals of the sea-far ing class, a timorousness gradually stole over them until Monday, when it culminated in a sudden and general breakup of the fishing, by the hasty departure of the crews from the place. During the whole of Monday, cartloads of furniture belonging to the fisher families from the Banffshire coast were driven to the boats • and the wind being favourable to their purpose, the boats one by one put out to sea A greater calamity than this untimely end of the fishing could not have befallen the commerce of the town. Besides the heavy losses which are certain to accrue to tradesmen, whose business iu the fishing season is mostly of a credit character, through the non payment of the accounts &heady contracted, the stocks provided by every class of tiaders on the calculation of former years will now remain unsold, and must necessarily prove ruin ous to not a few. Tue Rai'may WHisree NumaxcE.—Last even ing Dr. Edwin Lankeeter, the coroner for Central Middlesex held en inquest at the City of London Tavern, City-road, relative to the death of Edmund Scott, a cab proprietor and driver, 54 years of age, whose life was de stroyed by injuries received through & gentleman's hone being frightened by the shriek of a railway engine whistle, as a train passed over the bridge in the Waterloo-load, approaching the South Western-station. The jury re turned a verdict of " Accidental Death" and appended to their verdict the following resolution:—" The jury em panelled at the City of London Tavern, on the 15th day of August, on the body of Edmund Scott, having returned • verdict of accidental death, are of opinion that the de ceased came to hie death by a horse which struck him having been frightened by a railway whistle at the Waterloo-bridge station, and they would respectfully call the attention of the President of the Board of Trade to the dangerous practice of railway engine whistling in the midst of the traffic of the metropolis, as they have had it represented to them that this practice is the cause of nu merous accidents and frequent deaths in London." EXTRAORDINARY DREAM AND ITS FULFILMENT. —At an inquest held on Tuesday, at Sunderland, on the body of a boy, named Jones, who was accidentally killed at Pemberton colliery, on Saturday, it transpired that the mother of the lad, on Thursday night, had an extraordinary dream that her son was killed while at work, and this pro duced such an impression on her that she refused to allow him to go to work next day, and he stayed at home on Friday. Next morning, however, he had gone to work at four o'clock, and it appears that within half an hour of entering the mine, some full tube ran amain, and in trying to stop them, the lad, who was only 12 years of age, was thrown down, some of the wheels passing over his neck and alm ost severity; his head from his body. lie must have died instantaneously. The pitmen, in accord ance with a superstitious belief, immediately knocked o ff work, and the shaft was laid idle for the day, rendering a loss of several hundred pounds to the proprietors. Within an hour of the deceased's leaving his mother's house, in telligence was conveyed to her of the ful fi lment of her dream. Another brother was drowned a year ago while bathing in the pit pond of the same colliery. A woman named Hutchinson came a day or two ago before the North Shields magistrates for the 61st time, and was sent off to her old gaol kuarters for • month, for thrashing • policeman.

The bankrupt was a general merchant, formerly carrying on business at 27, Leadenhall-street, in copartnership with Samuel Thompson. Mr. Treherne appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Link later for the bankrupt, at this sitting for examination and discharge. The accounts filed in this case show the following large figures :—Creditors unsecured, 2,017/. ; ditto holding security, 11,821/. ; liabilities, 104,003/. ; and creditors to be paid in full, 501.

The assignee, who was ap pointed by one of the largest creditors, and was himself a creditor, did not oppose. It was stated that the bank rupt had incurred a large amount of liability in connection with various public companies which bad fallen into a position of difficulty in consequence of the extreme finan cial pressure which lately prevailed. It was anticipated that a considerable portion of the liabilities would ulti mately be discharged by the persons primarily liable. The Commissioner, in the absence of opposition, granted an immediate order of discharge. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEEDS, Auouer 14. CuowN COORT.—(Before Mr. Justice Smith.) BREACH OP PROMISE. The cue of Jewell r. Lee came on for hearing. It was an action for breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Middleton for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cam pbell Foster for the defendant. Mr. Seymour thought that when the jury had heard the evidence in this case they would be of opinion that plaintiff had been treated by the defendant in a manner entirely unworthy of a man. The plaintiff was a lady about thirty-five years of age. She formerly held the position of lady's-maid to Mrs. Myers, of Bradford, who occasionally travelled with her husband on the continent. She made the acquaintance of the defendant, who was a traveller for a wine merchant, some years before 1861. He at that time courted her, and engaged her affections, she being then in the prime and bloom of womanhood. They were looked upon by their friends as engaged, but from one excuse or another the engagement was broken off. In the year 1862, however, further interviews took place be tween the parties, and their marriage was spoken of as likely to take place very soon. The defendant afterwards wrote a letter to the plaintiff, in which, after speaking of his necessary absence from home on his journeys, he con cluded by saying :—" The fact ia, ' Jewell,' my brother does not want me to get married, but I see plainly that I can do better without him than with him." The acquaintance was, however, afterwards again broken off, and the matter ended, but Miss Jewell at that time did not wish to bring the affair into court, and was content to hope that perhaps defendant would alter his mind. Time passed over, and they did not meet again for some years. In 1865, however, the plaintiff happened to be visiting at the house of Mrs. Robinson, of Bradford, and the defendant called upon her there. Mutual explanations took place, the result of which was the renewal of the en gagement, and the defendant went to see the plaintiff re peatedly, and behaved towards her as a lover would. In the course of a conversation respecting the past, he said, " Well, whatever it has been in the past, it will be a wed ding this time ;" but the engagement was again broken off, and he refused to fulfil his promise. Now, it was ad niitted that he was in a situation of 1001. a year, besides which he told the plaintiff he had an interest in a sum of 6001., the whole of which he would receive at his mother's death. He was, therefore, quite in a position to have married the plaintiff. Some correspondence took place last year, but it was of a plain, practical character, and it would not much amuse the jury. His learned friend, Mr. Mid dleton, had, however, turned poet, and written two lines while in court, which he would now read: While in bounding pinnace you gaily sail Over Ilfe's changing sea— (Laughter.) He had taken the liberty to add: Be sure, my "Jewell," you never fail To keep your helm a-Lee. (Renewed laughter.) The learned counsel then called Mrs. Robinson, of Horton-lane, Bradford, who said she had known the plaintiff and defendant for about fifteen years. She had frequently seen them together before 1861, and they looked very happy together. (Laughter.) They were acquainted du n n; the Great Ex hibition of 1851. Recollected plaintiff going on a visit to her house in August last year, when defendant called to see her and had a pipe with her husband. The latter said to him, "They say old broth is sooner warmed than new broth made"—(laughter)—upon which he replied—" It shall be a wedding this time." Plaintiff haul previously said " It shall be no long courtship this time." They went out of the house together after that. On the following market day, defendant again spent the evening with Miss Jewell. On the Sunday afterwards defendant said he would make the plaintiff his wife before she went back to London. Plaintiff went to London on the 2nd Oct. Before she left the defendant saw her frequently. Witness had heard Lee say to plaintiff that when he got a situation and was settled he would go to London and marry her, and she was to make herself contented until that time. He said to witness he had 6001. left to him, and that if he died single lie would leave the whole of the 6001. to plaintiff. When the latter returned to London de• fondant obtained a situation with Mr. Lupton, spirit merchant, on the Ist Feb. following, and still remained in that gentleman's service. Cross-examined by Mr. C. Foster—l don't keep a register-office fur marriages am well as for servants. (Laughter.) Michael Robinson, a cabinet maker, of Bradford, and husband of the preceding witness, spoke to smoking a pipe with the defendant. He noticed the defendant paying those little attentions towards plaintiff which persons usually do when they are courting. Witness stated to defendant that he had heard a saying that old broth was sooner warmed than new broth made, upon which plaintiff said it should not be a long courtship this time, and de fendant stated it should be a wedding. Mr. Foster —I should like to know what those little attentions were that you spoke of. (Laughter.) Witness—l should think you and the jury know as well se anybody. (Laughter.) They were those peculiar smiles which young people can give when they are court ing. (Laughter.) Mr Foster—Well, perhaps you can give us a specimen. (Loud laughter.) Witness—l used to do it. but now lam too old. (Re newed laughter.) • Mr. Newsome, of Bradford, had known the defendant for twenty years. He also knew the plaintiff, and had seen the defendant conduct himself towards her like a lover. (Laughter.) Defendant had told him in his shop that it should be a wedding this time, and he would want witness to give Jewel away. Witness then wished to be informed in good time, in order that he might get a new hat for the occasion. (Laughter.) Cross-examined by Mr. Foster—Witness was not a draper, and the defendant did not go to his shop to buy baby linen. (Laughter.) He was a druggist. Mr. Foster—He was not asking for " Dalby's Carmina tive," was he' (Loud laughter.) Several letters written by defendant to plaintiff were then put in and read. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Seymour referred to the humour which had been thrown into the case by his learned friend, and then urged that it was not a laughing matter to the plaintiff, whose affections had been trilled with by the defendant for fifteen years, although she had remained true to him even while on the continent. It was bad enough for a woman to be thrown aside by the defendant as a rotten branch, without being made a laughing-stock of. She had by her constancy to the defendant lost other opportunities for settling herself in that position which was the honourable ambition of every virtuous woman, and be asked the jury to give her exemplary damages in consequence. Mr. Foster said that if rounded periods and eloquence amounting almost to pathos were to decide the action, then the defendant was already a ruined man. The learned counsel for the plaintiff had spoken of his client as though she were a "pearl of gre at , price," and had then asked the jury to set that jewel" in gold taken from the defendant's pockets. But instead of the " old broth" having been boiling up and bubbling, there never was colder stuff in this world. Throughout a very humorous speech the learned counsel contended that the promise spoken to by the witnesses had been given merely in joke, and that the remark made by Newsome respecting the new hat was mere badinage. He asked the jury to discard all the blown-up nonsense which had been imported into the case by the learned counsel for the plaintiff, and give their attention to the facts. If they should come to the con clusion that defendant had broken his promise to the plain tiff, he urged that from her position, and also from the position of the defendant, she would not be entitled to heavy damages. His Lord sh ip having summed up, The jury retired, and after a short absence returned a verdict for the plaintiff ; damages, 1001. 'Axel:l-Law. —On Tneadayafternoon an attack of a moat brutal and cowardly nature was perpetrated on the person of Captain Davies, of the brig Isabel, by a body of seamen, 30 in number, who were assembled outside the Merchant Seamen's Shipping office, where seamen's wages are paid and other matters between captains and their crews adjusted. it appears that for some little time past there has existed considerable ill-feeling on the part of sailors towards their employers, on the score of their wages—the rate of which, however, is not under the con trol of the captains themselves. Captain Davies had been engaging fresh men, and was in the act of leaving the shipping office when he was suddenly pounced upon by a gang of sailors, who, dragging him to the ground, kicked him and trampled on him in a moat ruffianly manner. No policeman being either on the spot, or near at hand, the ruffians made their escape. Captain Davies has sustained severe injuries, which will incapacitate him from attending to his duties far some time. METROPOLITAN WORKHOUSES. The report of Mr. Farnall, Poor-law Board In spector, into the complaints of Miss Beeton, against the management of B.otherhithe workhouse infirmary, has just been published. Mr. Farnall considers that the evidence adduced proves, amongst other things, the following:— That the master and matron did Rot meet Miss Beeton 's complaints, nor fulfil the requirements which she made to them ; that the medical officer took no steps to obtaineither pauper or psid night nurses, though fully aware that there were bed-ridden patients in the infirmary; that neithe- the master nor assistant-master visited the sleeping wards of the male paupers at the times they ought to have done ; that the matron did not visit the sleeping wards of the female paupers by day and night as she should have done ; that the pauper nurses supplied to Miss lieeton were old and inexperienced, and that one of them beat and ill-used the patients ; that the sick patients were sent to the infirmary in a dirty and neglected state ; that the medical appliances of the infirmary were extremely defective ; tha the beds were very hard, and that bits of bone and Hint were in some of them, and that maggots were seen on one of them ; that the dietary of pauper patients was insuffi cient and not properly served ; that one of the pauper laundresses was addicted to drink, and that the nurse Britton took opium. A letter has been sent from the Poor-law Board to Miss Beaton, saying that the guardians have inquired respecting certain charges made against her by the workhouse master, and find that they rest on mere idle gossip ; that the guardians have inquired also into the matters of which Miss Beeton complained, and that they have now remedied some of them, but would have done so earlier if she had, in her capacity of nurse, made known the charges to them ; taat the guardians have come to the conclusion that the charges against Miss Becton are without foundation. Mr. Farndl's report on an inquiry held with respect to alleged misman agement of the sick poor in Paddington workhouse is also published. The charges were made by Mrs. Bateman, a paid nurse, and were brought under the notice of the Poor-law Board by the Earl of Carnarvon, on behalf of the Metropolitan Workhouse Infirmary Associa tion. The affidavits received prove, Mr. Fermin thinks, the following facts :—That the sick wards are contained in two distinct infirmaries, called the new and the old, and not scattered all over the house ; that in the old infir mary as many as three sick children, with various com plaints, some of them infectious, have been put to sleep together; that the sick are not classified, but that the aged, young, infirm, chronically and acutely sick are or have been warded together in the same room, and that an aged patient of dirty habits, and with vermin on her, named Stannett, was warded with sick children, and that a noisy lunatic, named Luke, disturbed the sick inmates of a ward by night and day for three weeks ,• that, in addition to giving all the medicines at the stated hours in the different female sick wards,Mrs. Bateman had a certain amount of dispensing to do, together with the personal distribution of all the clean and dirty linen, both of the wards and the inmates, and the distribution of stores ; that Mrs. Bateman was consequently unable to perform satisfactorily to herself the duties of nursing, and that some of the pauper nurses on whom she had to rely were incompetent, and behaved harshly and cruelly to some of the patients, and that the lady visitors occasionally gave the pauper nurses small sums of money to secure their kindness and attention to the sick ; that a woman named 'Ward was afflicted with bed sores, but was obliged to lie on a straw mattress until Mrs. Bateman obtained an air mattress for her, and that while Mrs. Bate man was nurse she was not supplied with mackintosh sheets for dirty patients; and that a paralysed patient, named Bamford, fell twice out of bed in one night for want of assistance, and for whom a night nurse was ordered, but not supplied. Mr. Farnall also directs the attention of the Poor-law Board to some additional facts elicited during the inquiry. He states that there are no paid night nurses ; that the friends of a sick pauper, Mary 111PDerdd, were not permitted to see her, or detained some times an hour and a half before they could do so, because " neither at`Donald herself nor her friends would give any account of her settlement ;" that the sick patients give beer to the pauper nurses ; that a pauper nurse, when called up at night only attended to such calls as she thought proper; that the sick inmates com plain to lady visitors of cruelty on the part of the pauper nurses ; and that the matron does not visit the sick wards every day. Mr. Farnall advises the board to direct the appointment of an adequate staff of nurses ; that the medical officer should attend thoroughly to his own department and its requirements, and that the master should be informed that in cases of sickness, or necessity, inmates should be permitted to see their thumbs on other than appointed visiting days. With respect to a charge of immorality against Mrs. Bateman while acting as nurse at St. Pancras workhouse, Mr. Faniall reports that the charge was groundless, and that a charge of indiscretion only could be maintained. Mr. Farman also informs the board that, although the guardians discharged Mrs. Bate man because she was " inefficient in midwifery," the adver tisement through which she was appointed did not require such efficiency as a qualification, nor was her efficiency tested during the month she held office at the Paddington Workhouse. DEATH MOH lwa.unra Poison.—An inquiry was held last evening by Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, at the Bridport Arms, Salisbury-street, Horton, touching the death of Frederick Potter, aged 28 years. He was a com pensation balance maker, living with his father, • watch maker. On Thursday his mother and sister went out, leaving him alone, and upon their return in the evening they could not get admiawou at the front door. They went round to the back, where they found deceased lying on his face in the doorway quite dead. Avessel containing a quan tity of cyanide of potassium was found in the parlour. He used that poison in his business, and it appeared as if he had heated it on the bob , and upon taking it up had in haled a quantity of the fumes, and then rushed to the garden to get air, but had dropped dead in the gate way. The fury returned a verdict " that deceased died from the accidental inhalation of the fumes of cyanide of potassium." CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAL WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15.—Admissions on payment, 9,490 ditto by mason tickets, 3,0G3. Total visitors, 12,551 (Before the Common Serjeant.) ,- - George Morris Mitchell, aged 3s, was indicted for steal ing five pieces of paper, theproperty of the Incorporated Law Institution, Chancery-lane. It may be remembered that the prisoner having obtained from the Secretary of the Law Institution permission to inspect certain bound volumes of the appendices of the petitions presented to the House of Commons in favour of universal suffrage, under pretence of making extracts, instead of doing so tore out the pages containing the in formation he rcquired,and took them away with him. The loos was discovered in consequence of an anonymous letter received by the secretary, and from other information detective-officer Bull discovered them in the possession of the prisoner at his offices in New Broad.street-buildings. This wus the felony imputed to the prisoner. Mr. Pater on his behalf, urged upon the jury that the pages had not been abstracted with any felonious intent. The prisoner might have been guilty of an act of folly, but certainly not of felony. If the prosecution desired compensation, they could obtain it under a recent statute by a civil proceeding. He, therefore, submitted that the re psent charge ought never to have been brought, still leas prosecuted. The Common Serjeant summed up, and The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoner was discharged. THE POLICE COURTS. SOUTHWARK. Edward Brown, signalman at the Borough-road sta tion of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, was brought before Mr. Woolrych for final examination, charged with being drunk while on duty and neglecting the signals, thereby causing a collision near the Elephant and Castle station, to the imminent danger of the lives of the paaseners, as already reported in our columns. The prisoner was committed for trial, bail being accepted. WORSHIP-STREET. Ann Larder, a swarthy-faced woman, about 30 years of age, and whose features were much bidden by a large , straw-hat, was charged with being concerned in the follow- i ing assault and robbery : Thomas Capes, a chairmaker in Mape-street, Bethnal green. deposed—About one o'clock in the morning I was passing along Finsbury, near the square, when the prisoner accosted me. I had not previously seen any one very near, but almost instantly after she spoke I was grasped violently by the throat by some person behind me. I had a small box containing a couple of pigeons in my hand, which I dropped, and while endeavouring to extricate myself the prisoner forced her hand into a pocket of my trousers, and tore it completely down, and took out, as I afterwards ascertained, between I Is. and 12e. that were loose there. Another man then came up, and felt about my waistcoat pocket, but not anything was there. I was almost strangled. That man then tripped rue up, and I fell on my head, which is severely cut on the top, and my hand is also injured. I lost my senses, but suppose for about half a minute only, as, on recovering, I observed i all three running away n the direction of Finsbury market. I pursued, and noticing two constables in con- ' venation, told them what had occurred. I swear that the prisoner is the woman in question. One of the men in company with her I could not swear to. A coin found in the prisoner's pocket I can also swear to, as a portion of the money stolen. I was sober. Hilman, 207 G, said—At 1 o'clock in the morning I was with a brother constable near Finsbury-market, when the prosecutor ran up in great alarm with his hat in his hand, and his clothes in great disorder; he hurriedly told me what he has now stated, and while doingso I heard footsteps hur rying towards us. I said, " Hush !" and we all retired. A man came by ; prosecutor did not recognise him, and ho passed ; another man followed whom he did recognise, and I seized him. The prisoner came next, and on the same authority she was taken by the other constable. My prisoner made very light of the charge apparently, but as we pro ceeded I felt as I held him by the collar of his coat that he wee getting very shaky. I held him then by the sleeve ; in Featherstone-street, City-road, he fell, recovered slightly, and with assistance we reached the station-house in Old street, St. Luke's, where he died. Mr. Cooke.—Died from what cause? Do you know? Witness.—l believe from disease of the heart, sir. Police-constable James, 271 G, corroborated thus far the statement of Hilman, and it appeared that the man supposed to have acted in complicity with the prisoner and the other now dead was not apprehended, as the prose cutor distinctly said he could not identify bim, Although he had a clear view as he passed by. Bendall, the gaoler, instantly recognised the prisoner on her entering the dock as being a convicted thitf. Mr. Cooke directed a remand. _ _ ii;i,l«fic. - iiii - e — Le7e;;;711;:: not been identi£ed. • ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BETHNAL GREEN.—A man named George Moyce, 40 years of age, carrying on the business of a shoemaker, at 9, Wellington- I street, Bethnal-green, on Tuesday night made a brutal at tempt to murder his wife, and afterwards succeeded in i taking his own life by cutting his throat with a razor. About half-past nine o'clock the unfortunate woman Ann Moyce rushed into the street, covered with blood, and pointing to • frightful wound in her throat, said to some neighbours who were standing near, "Look what my husband has done." Immediately after she became insensible. Police-constable John Pales, 99 H, who was on duty in the immediate neighbourhood. had the woman conveyed to the London Hospital, and entered the house, where he found Moyce with his throat , cut in such a fearful manner as could leave not the slightest I hope of his recovery. Oa being conveyed to the hospital I Mr. Greenaway, the house surgeon, discovered that the windpipe had been completely severe d, and stated that the man could not survive many hours, and that the wounds were each as could easily have been inflicted byhimself. The wound in the woman's throat was not so serious, and every hope is entertained of her ultimate recovery. In addition to the wound in her throat, her hands are lacerated in such a manner as to lead to the supposition that she had struggled hard to defend herself against her husband. Information was conveyed to the Bethnal-green police-station, and the acting inspector, Sergeant Dillon, placed a constable in charge of the house pending the investigation, which will be held to-day at the hospital. Moyce has left six young children—the eldest of whom is under 12 ears of age—who have been taken charge of by the pa autho rities. Up to the present time no cause has been assigned for the outrage, the woman being as yet unable to 'peak. From inquiries at the hospital yesterday, we learn that Moyce died at half-past 12 o'clock, and that his wife is pro gressing satisfactorily.
