LI 1.11 RADLZI.-THE PROFILE= OP ♦ DEERT= WIFE This was an application for the restitution of the pro. verty teizod by the messenger of the court, under peculiar rin-amstances. It appears that William Ridley, an oil sad r• lourmau, of 121, Chnrch•street, Bethnal-green, was adju -1 ated bankrupt on the 24th of August, upon the petition of Messrs. Gaby, wholesale oilmen, of shoreditch. It appears he absconded prior to that date, it cnmpany with a female, to America, leaving behind him a sue and eight children. In ooniequence of his ill usage the wife had obtained a protecting order for herself and property at Worshipatreet Police-court on the Bth of August, and had since maintained herself and family by the fruits of her o w n i n d us t ry . U pon the ad i•aliration being made the messenger took possession, ill•ving the property was in the order and disposition of the Lin krupt... Mr. g - toddart appeared in rapport of the motion. An order was made for notion to be given to the solicitor to the assignee and to the messenger for Tuesday next. Adivurned accordingly. The debts are about 4501. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLEREF.N WELL. LOAN SOCIEITES AND THEIR CHARGES. A gentlemen, who gave his address In Islington, applied to the sitting magistrate under the following circum stances : The applicant stated that being in the immediate want of a little money he applied to Mr. F. C. Sharpe, the manager of the City Investment and Discount Company, l'armonetreet, E.C., opposite Abchtuch-lane, for the advance of 50/. upon a bill of sale. On the 18th of July the money was advanced, minus 101. for interest and costs, and the agreement was that it was to be paid back at 51. per month. When the first instalment beams due he and his wife were out of town, but on the following day he returned and fouod a letter informing him that the first W. had not been paid. The next day be was surprised to find a man come into his houw and take posses "on. He at once went to the otfice sod tendered the 51. and offered to pay the expenses incurred if the man would withdraw, but these terms were refused. Afterwards he made another otter of 101. and the expenses incurred ; but Mr. Sharpe said he could not accede to the offer, and the only thing he could do was either to have the wheat, of the money or personal security, as well as the security he held on the property. When the man had been in possession nine days a man was sent. and the whole of his furniture wu taken away, and he did not know where it was removed to, as the parties removing the furniture had left no inventory, nor stated where the goods were going to or when they would be sold. Mr. Lockwood, the publichouse broker of the Gray's-inn road, who was in attendance in connexion with the obtain ing a protection order for the carrying on of the business of a licensed victualler until the next transfer day, said that a similar case had recently occurred. A pnblican had borrowed 80/. of a loan soety, to be paid back in monthly itstalments. In that CYO the borrower only received 601., and being two days back in the payment of the first in raiment, the loan society had stepped in and swept every thing out of the place. The consequence was that the n.an had to shot up his business, and in now ruined. The magistrate told the applicant that he thought that to stop 10/. for the 501. was exorbitant, and the course that had been adopted was very husk The applicant had better consult so attorney.

ATTEMPT AT SIMCIDL Jo-nts Mears, a singular looking man, who was charged at this court th ree weeks ago with attempting to strangle Lirhie:f in the cells of the police-station and afterwards giro up to his friends, was again brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with makieg two other attempts on his lifer in the public streets. lr,vid Evans, 42 M, said that between 4 and 5 o'clock on the previous afternoon he was on duty in the Dover-road, whe n his attention was called to the prisoner walking off tie pavement and felling in front of • four-wheeled cab thit was proceeding towards London-bridge at a quick pace. The horse trod upon him, bat by •• strenuous e ff ort the driver succeeded in pulling up, %ber y l preventing the wheels patting over him. H e w as dt from under the Lone, and, believing that be had fallen y accident, be let Lim go. A few minutes afterwards ranee saw him deli lcrately throw himself In front of • heavily laden waggon with two horses. The carman in this instance also pulled ter' iuit iu time to prevent the fors wheels peeving over him. The horses, however, trod upon him and injured him severely. Ins witness then took him into custody, and be was exa mined by the divisional surgeon ; but fortunately he had rt , e.red no serious injury. The prisoner here exclaimed, "Oh, mend me to the work house —send me to the workhouse, my head is so bad!" Mr. Woolrych observed that he recollected the prisoner .ink before him a short time ago charged with attempting sor,le. What were the circumstances then? S , rgeant Wise. the acting inspector, informed his tranship that the prisoner was brought to the station-home charged `with committing • trifling act of felony. While locked up in the rens he made a most determined attempt to grail& biumdf. He was remanded for a week, and on his sister at !ending and promising to take care of him be was liberated. ife. however, was such an habitual drunkard that his sister could not do anything with him. The prisoner said his head was so bed that he did not know what he did. When he was a lad his father beat him so that the blood ran down his bask, H• was so exasperated THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1864. at such brutal treatment that he went and threw himself off li/sektriambridge, and web severely injared. Nix Woolzych oonsidered it useless for him to deal with the prisoner, whose intellect seemed to be impaired either by injuries received or ethessive drinking Hsi should, therefore, commit him to the sessions for trial, when he would be taken care of. In the mean time he directed the Wither to convey him to St. George's Warthog" where every precaution would be taken to prevent his carrying his threats into execution, and on the open r ing of the sessions he could be removed under proper attendance for trial. THE LATE EXPLOSION OP A LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. ADJOURNED INQUEST—(THIS DAY.) This day, at noon, Dr. Lankeeter, coroner for Central Middlesex, and the jury empanelled on the 18th ult to investigate the death of William Davis, the stoker of No. 4 engine, which imploded on the line of the North Lon don Railway, on the morning of Tuesday, the 16th August, resumed their investigation into the causes attending that or cursors, at the St. Martin's Tavern, Pratt-street, Camden town. Prior to assembling in the inquest room the coroner and jury proceeded by train from Camden-road Station to the locomotive shed of the North London Railway at Bow, and made a minute inspection of the exploded engine and then returned to Camden-town,where the evidsoes was resumed. Captain Tyler, government railway inspector, was pre sent. Mr. Sleigh watched the case on behalf of the directors of the North London Railway Company, and a number of railway engineers and scientific gentlemen were present. The proceedings excited great interest. Mr. Sleigh said he attended on behalf of the directors of the North London Railway Company to afford the coroner and jury every facility in the conduct of the inquiry. For that pare se some scientific) gentlemen who were thoroughly acquainted with the oonstruction cl locomotive engines, Mr. Craig and Mr. Kitson, who had carefully examined this engine, were in attendance for the purpose of giving evidence. Captain Tyler, the government inspector of railways, was first sworn, and said he had examined the engine No. 4, and had made himself muter of all the circumstances connected with its explosion. He had made a report on the subject for the Board of Trade, which he then read to the jury, and by means of diagrams he explained the various point. of rupture in the fire-box, and the general effect of the explosion on various parts of the engine. His report was to the following effect : " The passenger trains from Kew and Chalk Farm meet at the Camden-road station, and proceed together to Bow and Fenchurch-street. The 9 a.m. train from Kew reached Camden-road at 9.39 (according to the guard), five minutes late, on the day in question, the lath August, consisting of an engine and six carriages, including a break carriage. The Kew engine ran round to the back of its carriages, and pushed them forward against five other carriages. which had previously arrived from Chalk Farm. A porter had coupled the two sets of carriages together ; the new guard stood whistle in hand about 30 test from the Chalk Farm engine, which was in front of the combined train, looking out for the station muter's signal to enable him to start that train ; and the engine driver was waiting for the guard's whistle, before opening his regulator, when a loud report wu heard. The station and platform were at once enveloped in steam, and it was found after the steam had cleared away that the sissies was no longer on the viaduct on which it had been standing, but had fallen upon its wheels into the road, 20 feet below. It had tamed round moreover in the course of its fall, so that its funnel, which was fronting towards the east before the explosion was afterwards turned towards the west. The engine driver had acted in that capacity for two years and a half, and has been in the company's service altogether four years and a belt. He came on duty at 5.45 on the morning in question and left Bow at 6.15 with the engine, No. 4. After doing some shunting at Camden-road, be started for Kew with a passenger train, at 7.40 reached that station at 8.10, started again at 8.30 with another train reaching Camden-road at 9.4. After shunting the train there, he proceeded to Chalk-farm, and leaving that station at 9.32 with the express, be reached Camden-road at 9.34, a few minutes before the explosion occurred, as already described. (The proceedings were not concluded when we went to press. DISASTERS TO LIVERPOOL SHIPPING.-TWO VESSELS LOST. The steamer Paraguay, which has arrived at this port from the River Plate, brings information of the loss of the well-known Liverpool trader Byzan tium, she having been loot on the island of Lobes, at the entrance to the Plate, on her homeward passage. Lobes is well known and much dreaded by navi gators, its proximity to the track in rounding the point, and the unusual rapidity of the currents there, rendering it pe culiarly dangerous. It is supposed that the Byzantium had been becalmed and drifted with the current. She had a au-go of 12,000 hides, whioh, with the ship, were insured. The tine ship Arabia, Captain Kelly, which left this port on Tuesday for Quebec, is reported by telegraph from Douglas, Isle of Mao. to have got on shore near Scarlet Point, and it was probable that she would become a total wreck, as she lay broadside on the rocks, and was fast filling with water. A strong southerly gale was blowing, and the force of the heavy seas, exposed as she was, was fast breaking her up. The crew had been saved. She was a ship of 9 , A1 toes, and the property of Mr. M. J. Wilson, of Hargreave's. buildings. The ship Emily Augusta, Captain Strickland, well known on the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia line, has had a very narrow escape from total loss. She was on her homeward passage from St. John, XL, to Liver pool, and had proceeded in safety as far as the Connibeg rock, where she struck at 10 o'clock on Monday evening. By the exertions of Captain Strickland and the crew she was most fortunately got off, but not before losing her rudder and receiving other damage. She was immediately brought to an seeker, and the captain left to procure assistance. He came to Liverpool, and having procured the services of two steam tugs left with them on Tuesday afternoon to tow his ship to this port. The captain of the Waterford steamer Vests reports having passed the Emily Acosta on Tuesday evening. She was then riding very heavily, with a strong southerly wind and rising nee. The Vesta offered to tow her to Liverpool, but her assistance was refused. She was completely water logged. EXTMVSTVE EMBEZZLENEVT.—We regret to learn that the cashkeeper in a large stockbroking concern in Liver pool hair absconded, leaving deficiencies in his accounts to an amount variously estimated at from 10,0001. to 16,00 tit. It is said that the books of the concern have been falsified in the most dexterous manner, ba lances being struck fortnightly, and nothing left to create the slightest suspicion in the minds of the principal. The absentee is a single man, about 40 years of age, and it is said that bin extensive transactions on the turf have been the MUM of his ruin. As a proof of the reckless manner in which he acted, it is said that for the St. Leger he backed Scottish Chief for 1,0001.. and the horse having been " wretched," he 'waa a loser to the full amount. It is believed that the defaulter hes sailed for America under the assumed name of Smith. —Live pool Mail. A WARDERS THROAT CUT BY A CONVICT.—At Spike Island convict depOt., on Saturday evening, a des perate attempt was made by one of the convicts to mortally wound a warder named Reilly. It was the time at which the prisoners underwent the weekly operation of shaving, and one of the razors in use was intrusted to this particular convict. Apparently contemplating the outage which he subsequently committed, he fastened, unobserved, the ball of the razor to his wrist by means of a string, and watching his opportunity as the warder was leaving the apertmeot he crept stealthily after him, and from behind drew the razor across' the right side of his (throat A wound four inches in length was indicted, but the fortunate fact of the instrument glancing off the jaw-bone prevented its penetrat ing to a sufficient depth to be immediately fatal. A serious scar, however, was inthzted, and it is impossible yet to pro nounce the warder's life out of danger, though hopes are entertained of his recovery. The convict was, of course, at once placed in close confinement. He is said to be an old offender, and is at present undergoing a period of fifteen years penal servitude. We have not beard any definite motive attributed to him for his daring ad.—Cork Herald. A MARKER Hffor. —While a tiring party of the 4th Roxburgh Volunteers were practising at the 600 yards' range at Stitches on Monday evening, Private Thome' Daykine, who, with the drill-sergeant, was officiating as marker, was shot in the calf of the leg. It appears that Daykins and the sergeant had gone out of the butt towards the t...rget after hoisting the danger signal. but the rifleman who was firing had his rifle levelled at the time, and did not observe the signal, nor could his attention be called to it before he fired. No blame could be attached to anyone ; and fortunately the wound is a simple fish one, the bullet having passed right through the lower part of the calf of the leg. Medical aid was promptly procured, and the wounded volunteer is now doing wel!.-.ffdinbrieoh Courant. NARROW ESCAPE Or Fouß BOYE.—Ou Tuesday, in mine unaccouutable mapper, four boys got on a mad bank at the month of the River kleney. They were luckily observed by one of the look-out men at the Bidden Lighthouse, who gam the alarm, and they were promptly reward by a lifeboat, or the advancing tide would have assuredly drowned them.

A " SAVANT " is TEI WISNLY3 Bor. —Occa sioaally—very rarely, it must be owned—the witness is, besides being a man of science, a man of the world—one who joins to the requirements of the "savant" all the quick and ready-witted tact of seciety. I remember such a use. The berrister was no common man ; he was highly and variously gifted ; he had a keen wit end a ocumanding *tonneau. It was his task, on the occasion I refer to, to obtain from the medical witness the sdrniasiou that the substance to which the poisoning was attributed was one I freely used in practico, often prescribed by the best pbysi rims, and nocasioeally in dues that verged on being ex cessive. " Now, Doctor A.," said he, " you have told us that strychnioe is to be found io the PliarmAcoixtia, an admission that goes to show that the faculty are not afraid, to use the vulgar illustration, to play with edge-tools. Yon hays also said that you have administered it is your own practice. Will you be kind enough to inform us in what doses !" " The dose would be determined by the nature of the illness, the object sought to be obtained, and the pecu liar circumstances of the individual patient." " Coma come, doctor, I am not trying to poach ou you for en no- fee'dopinioe. I want generalities. Would you give a grain of this medicine " I might. I would rather give an eighth. or a 'lath, or a fourth of a [Min." " Bat yea have I actually given as much as a grain r "I believe I have." " Now, would you give two, or aro there cases in which you would five three grains! For instance, would you venture to administer three gr ains to one of the gentlemen of the jury r" I opine not. Might there not be a case in which you would give his lordship yonder as much as three grains r " I should say not ; certainly not." " Would you give me three grains r At this the doctor seemed slightly confused, and nu Alin( to reply, and the lawyer, accepting the hesitation as confusion from being pumled, followed up big supposed advantage by repeating his question. "I am doubtful on the point. It is ossible that I might," was the reply, after long pause. "Good heavens, sir ! what do you mean You have told us that under no circumstance would yon administer as mach as three grains to one of the gentlemen of the jury, nor to his lordship on the bench, and yet you now avow that you are actually uncertain whether you would not give this dose to sic ! Explain this, sir, it you can." " The action of strychnine is but imperfectly known," said the doctor t with great composure. "It would be a valuable contributiou to medical science to de...rink* it ; and we have a maxim in chemistry that says, ' Fiat experiment= in =pore vile That's my mooning." In this ease it was not the lawyer who triumphod.—Blarkwood'oilagaiine foe September, 100 'lOO all 100 100 W all ;11 1 2 I !100 e' , oou XO,OOO 60.000 00,400 20,000 70,000 ' Atlantic & St. Lwow, Som.

COMMENCESIENT OP PARTRIDGE SHOOTTNO.— (Tuts Der.)—This morning the season of partridge shoot log commenced all over England, and long before this CM4I many thousands of unsurpecting birds have fallen before the sportsmen's gyms. The law emphatically decisive that no partridges shall be shot before the Ist of September, and consequently none can be sold before that day. At many London shops, however, the owners of which are licensed to sell game, partridge* were exhibited at • very early hour indeed this morning, leading to the inference that the sportsmen molt have been out extremely early, and that they must have found their game very near Lon don, or to the uncharitable suspicion that in some eases the law has cot been strictly adhered to. Fair sport is anticipated during the present season. Daicrttoolt.—The Forest of Dartmoor," as it was anciently called, is being cultivated and colonised in various Arts. Around the coovipt prison at Princetown hundreds of acres of land have been reclaimed and brought into cultivation, chiefly by means of convict labour. Barley, oats, and root crops are most successfully cultivated, and reports this year are satisfactory as to the quality and yield thereof, notwithstanding the long drought. As mash as two tons of hay per acre, it is said, have been produced this year on the prison fere". Efforts are being made to obtain the advantages of railway accommodation on the moor. A BOY'S HEAD TAKEN OPP BY • TRAIN.—Last week, • boy, nice years of age, the son of Mr. Cooke, station master, of Furness, near Bakewell, was killed by a passenger train from Buxton as it passed the Farness station.

The noise pre vented him from hearing that another train was eppreach ing. A projection of the eosins struck him, completely severing his head from his body and hurling him • distance of 15 yards—Manchester Courier. THE SOLDIER AND THE GRNERAL —A shorttime ago, while • regiment was moving by Sherman'. head go:eters—a tent, fly, and fence corner, near Kemper, ]fountains—one of the soldiers observed • major-general lying asleep by the roadside. He spoke very loudly to his comrades, raying " There's the way we are commanded— offloered by generals who get drunk and lie in the fesoe earners." Sherman heard him and sprang to his feet. " Not drunk, bays "he said, " but I've been up all night, end I'm very tired slid sleepy." He got on his bone, and, followed by his staff, rode away.—New York Standard. The latent novelty is a negro newspaper corres pondent. The Philadelphia Press has mat • veritable darkey scribe to the army of the Potomac, with the credeo tials of its editors.
