DRAJLI. DRURY-LANE. A new farce, called a Young Lad from (hr Country, by Mr. John Oxenford, was produced at this bmue last night to fill up the time between a quarter to seven, when the performances commence, and a quarter to eight—the modern tragedy hour. .1 farce with precisely the sane title was produced at the Olympic in June, 1. , 36.t, the adapter being Mr. Maildison Morton, but Mr. Oxen ford's little piece is not taken from the French , and it is thoroughly English, riotous, and old fashioned. The success of the Struts of Lyndon seems to have encouraged the author to give as many street WOOLY as partible, with omnibuses, lamp-posts, Policemen, shoebLicks, and other interesting realities of London life. The farce is evidently a sly hit at the pano ramic drama. aid " young man from the country" (Mr. Holmore) is, therefore, an Impossible character thrown into a variety of impossible situations. Ho is allowed to wear several very eccentric bate, to climb up a ladder into a drawing-room, to slide down the ladder again, to tumble overchain sod tables in the dark, to make love to a young lady in the true sewney fashion. and to do almost everything e.,eept st...uth crockery and tear his breeches. 111. Eelmore made the most of all this wild fun, and he was well supported by Mr. Fit7junes, Mr. G. F. Neville. Mr. Spencer, Mims Rose Leclerc q, and Miss Helen Howard. The pit and gal lery visitors were amused while the stalls and box visitor■ were taking their seats, and the piece wallow:as:46ln'. NEW ROYALTY. After many delays, caused by the unexampled popularity of his Mr. F. C. Burnand has at last pro duced his long-promised new burlesque at this house, with the pleasant title of Snowdrop: sr, Ott Seem Mannikins and fhc Magic Mirror. One of the well-known German fairy legends of the Brothers urizeim has furnished Mr. Burnand with the subject of his present extravaganza, and the only fault we have to find with it is that the story is almost toe slight, iufantine, and pantomimic for gaol burlesque treatment. Mr. Burnand knows the mechanism of his art too well not to make the most of his materials. He fits the usual number of pink and white young ladies with songs, duets, trim, dance■, and scraps of sparkling dialogue, and contrasts brilliant scenes with scenes of picturesque gloom as well as any of his fellow-labourers. His dialogu, is always carefully written, his puns are neat, and seldom far-fetched, his parodies arc clever, and his undo is selected with a shrewd knowledge of what is likely to be popular. Per sons of very severe taste may object to tied so much pro• taluence given to the worst music-hall ditties, or may be tired of the eternal " cellar-t-'ap' dance which ends every gong, or may pine for humour a little more fresh than that shown in buries ping the Victoria melodrama. Mr. Burnand, however, is not the creator of !modern burlesque. He came late into the field, and brought a large amount of literary taste, dramatic aptitude, and natural fun to bear upon a well-worked vein of the drama. His great successes have been in classical rather than in romantic burlesque, and we shall be glad to see him return to mythological subjects. . - . The story of Sr,r-4rop may be told in a very few word,. I A wicked stepmother is jealous of a lovely daughter, who is beloved by a handsome prince. She hires assassins to tutlrder this daughter, but the girl is protected by elves, and the wicked mother is diammfited. This story is distributed amongst a variety of characters, such as I kings, princes, lords and ladies in waiting, q ueens and princesses—sll cast in moulds formed long 1 , ago by Mr. Plaudit' and others. The action allows the introduction of several effective scenes, in one of which the author prodacee a very pretty Watteau ballet. No expense appears to have Leen spared by the management to render the piece brilliant, and while the scene painter was called on. a similar compliment ought to have been paid to the dressmaker. The acting throughout was pleasant, if not remarkable, and we are glad to welcome Miss "keine Wright as a speaking and singing prince. She has been far too long overlooked as an actress, though admired as • dancer. Mr. W. B. Stephens played the King, Miss Mait land the Prince, Mr. Robins a comic hair dresser—a kind of Clitlord the wicked Queen, Miss Selly Burton the pretty Princess, and the Miss,* Pelham a pert lady's maid and a porter valet. The whole company were won derfully perfect, both in words and music, for • first night, arid the result was that everything went merrily. Mr. Burnaud was called on at the end of the piece, and be appeared Lam a crowded and distinguished audience. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS-MON DAT.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1864. SEIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE. TEN EY, SOUTH WALES, Nov. 19.• During a heavy gale of wind yesterday from the W.N.W. (reports Captain H. P. Steele, 8.N.), a vessel was observed with signals of dieing" flying off thn liken The Natioeal Institution's lifeboat stationed here was soon launched, and proceeded through a very heavy sea to the rescue of the Tamers crew. On arriving alongside she proved to be the sloop Active, of Carmarthen, from Swansea to that port, with a cargo of coals. Her crew of three men were soon got into the lifeboat, and afterwards safely brought on shore. The sloop afterwards parted from her anchor, and drove up the bay. Subsequently the gale moderated, and the vessel was boarded by a fishing smack, and afterwards brought by her safely into port. About the same time the lifeboat was engaged in this service, the fishing smack Breeze rescued the crew of the brig Union, of Milford,which subsequently foundered ; and a dredge boat saved the crew from the schooner Sydney Trader, of Cork, which was in a diemasted state. BRAUNTON, NORTH DEVON, Nov. 19. Mr. James Limping, the lighthouse-keeper at Braunton, reports :—" The schooner Meridian, of } owey, Cornwall, bound from Cardiff to Charleston, Fowey, with coals, struck off Braunton yesterday in a storm from the W.& W. The Braunton lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat In stitution, was launched to the assistance of the crew, and after making the greatest exertion for half an hour, got within a short distance of the vessel, but the sand b ank known 'as the Patch prevented their boarding, the boat striking heavily on the bank, and the lifeboat was therefore compelled to return. While proceeding to the wreck the heavy surf rolled into the boat about a dozen times, and the crew were nearly exhausted with wet and cold. For tunately, however, the tide rapidly receded, and the life- boat's crew afterwards assisted to getting the vessel's crew ashore. The captain was in a very exhausted state, and but for the active exertions of those present, in conformity with the society's instructions for the restoration of the apparently drowned, a lad, there is no doubt, would have died. Medical sseistance wee soon procured, and they are all in a fair way of recovery." The lifeboat was, es usual, manned by man from Appledore. LYTHAM, Lstminiinte, Nov. 19. At 4 o'clock yesterday at teruoon, just before dark (re ports Mr. J. Edmondson), a fisherman came to bring the in telligeoce that he bad a few minutes before seen a teasel which appeared to him to be on the Horse Bank. Several person, from different points of view had likewise seen her, but none could give such definite information that any con clusion could be formed as to the character of the vessel, or whether she was on the bank or riding at her anchors. A very heavy gale from the north-west was blowing at the time, and the weather in that direction was very thick. It wee, however, determined to send oat the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at once, in the presumed di rection of the vessel. Unpromising as appearances ware from the storm then raging, coupled with the dark ness of the night, the lifeboat men, without the least hesitation, jumped into the bo at and pulled with a will quickly away tower& the west side of the Horse Bank, a distance of six or seven miles from Lytham. After remaining away four hours ands half during a fearful night the lifeboat returned, unable to discern anything of the ill fatd vessel ; again at half-past five this morning the life boat men resumed the search, sod discovered a wreck lying on the bank, about two miles from Southport, which was found to be the Chimera, of Liverpool, a brig from Africa, with palm oil. The crew, with the exception of the captain and a coloured man, had taken refuge in the foretopaust, which unfortunately went by the board, and the poor fellows were immediately swallowed up by the raging sea. The survivor, who was taken off by the Lytham lifeboat, states that the captain died on the deck the same day, having been ill for some time previous. The institution has paid 19% 10s. for these gallant exertions. DUNGENESS, KENT, Nov. 16. At about six p.m. yesterday (reports the coxswain of Dungeness lifeboat, liedongiug to the National Institution) a message was received from the chief boatman in charge of No. 1 Battery Coastguard Station that • vessel was on shore at that station, and that the lifeboat was required, as there was too much sea at that time for any other boat to put off from the shore. Signals were immediately made for the crew, of the adjoiningstations, 27, Tons and Romney, which were ven soon at this lifeboat station of the Na. tional Institution. In the meantime 1 had sent • man to Romney for four hones, the vessel being about six miles to windward of us, but the hones did not arrive before eight p.m. We then started with the whole of the moo, 23 in number, manning the hook ropes to assist the home, as the sands were very soft from the constant pouring of rain and from the wind. We could not reach the spot until 9.30 p.m., when we were informed that six of the crew of the ill-fated vessel had been landed by the No. 1 Battery Coast guard boat, but that two of the crew were drowned whilst endeavouring to get into their own boat, which was cap sized alongside the ship by a sea. At eleven p.m. we re turned to the station with the lifeboat. The vessel was found to be the brigantine Belinda, of Jersey, bound from Guernsey to Loudon with granite. PE_NARTH, NEAR CARDIFF. Nov. 19. A messenger arrived here (writes Mr. J. B. Bryan, chief officer of Coastguard) at 7.35 p.lll. yesterday, during a heavy d. W. gale and hazy weather, requesting the assistance of the Petards lifeboat of the National destitution to a ship stranded by stress of weather on the South-west Patch, • most dangerous place nine miles from hence, at the mouth of Newport Liver. The boat was promptly launched anal pro ceeded to the spot, in tow of the steamtug Pilot, sent for that purpose by the owner. Tug and pilot boats from New port had previously attempted to get to her, but failed. The lifeboat arrived at the vessel at 6...5 min., and found tugs in attendance. She remained alongside, and at the request of the captain assisted in getting the vessel off at high water, when she proceeded in tow to Ku:errata. The life boat was then sent back in tow by the owner, with his own and the master's thanka for so promptly coming and render ing assistance. The vessel proved to be the ship Far West, G7;9 tons, of Newport, Monmouthshire, bound from Callao, with guano, with • crew of 22 men on board. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF ILKCIIRQUER.—Nov. 21. Sittings in Banco.—{Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Barons Bramwell, Ohannell, and Pigott.) ATTOINZVGENZRAL V. MADELINE, COUNTESS BLUCHZEI DE WAHLSTATT, AND ERR HUSBAND, GUSTAVE, COUNT BLUCHER DE WAHLSTATT (WHEN HE SHALL COME wrnint THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT). This was an information by the Attorney-General to ob tain from the defendant, Madeline, Countess Blucher, the sole executrix of the will of Justine Davidson Dallas, spin. ster, deceased, payment of the legacy duty in respect of the persona estate of the testatrix, in case she were at the time of her death domiciled in England, or payment of the suc cession duty which has become due in respect of the same estate in case her domicile was not English. The testatrix was the sister of the defendant, Madeline, Counter Blucher, and died at Count Blucher's house, in Baden-Baden, about September, 1863. She was the daughter of English parents (her father, Sir Robert Dallsa, having formerly been Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas), and was born in 1804, at Brighton, Sussex, and continued to reside in the United Kingdom until 1849, when, in consequence of the , death of her mother and sole surviving parent, lady Dallas, ' she left England, and went to reside with her sister, the countess, and her husband. She continued to reside with them, sometimes at Baden-Baden and at other times at Berlin, pay log occasional visits to this country, down to the time of ber death. On the occasion of one of these visits, which took place in 1854, and whilst staying at the house of her sister, the wife of Lieutenant- Colonel ?easy, in Cumberland-terrace, Regent's-park, she made her will according to the formalities required by the laws of this country, leaving the whole of her real and per sonal property to her sister, the countess. On 26th Sept., 1863, the eauuteut proved the will in the principal registry of the Court of Probate. The personal property in this country belonging to the testatrix at the time of her death was of considerable amount, consisting of a balance at her London bankers, a sum due to her by a London mercantile film, and money in the:funds. The defendant (the counter) declined to pay legacy duty in respect of this property, on the ground that the testatrix at the time of her death wee not domiciled in England, but in Baden-Baden. The crown on the contrary insisted that she retained her original Eng lish domicile down to her death, and that, therefore, her personal property wherever situated was liable to legacy duty, and that even if she had acquired a foreign (domicile succession duty was payable in respect, at least, of her personal property in this country. The Attorney-General, the Solicitor• General, Mr. J. Locke, Q.C., and Mr. Hanson were counsel for the crown ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Kay appeared for the defendants. In answer to the information Countess Blucher de Wehl 'tett said that the testatrix on leaving England, in 1849, discharged her English maid and took a German maid into her service, and caused a large and valuable library of books (the only movable property belonging to her in the United Kingdom, with the exception of moneys invested there) to be soot abroad. Thenceforward she kept this library in the counteas's house. She bad no real estate of any kind, nor any other property whatever, except her clothes, trin kets, and the like, and the invested money. She never )(domed to this country or left Baden. Baden, except for a few occasional visits, when she was accompanied by her sister, the countess, and since 1859 she never lett Baden- Baden until the time of her death. From 1849 she con tributed her share towards the expenses of the count and °contra's housekeeping. She of ten told the countess that if she were to survive her she would still continue to live in Germany, and in 1854 she named to her the churchyard at Lichtenthal, near Baden-Baden, as the place where she wished to bo buried. About two years before her death an additional room was built, solely for her ac- commodation, to the house of the defendants at Baden. Baden, and on Ist March, 1854, she made • holograph will at liadeo-Badeu, bequeathing all her property to the tom ' taw, and it was duly executed so as to be a fennel will at that place. Shortly afterwards she came to England, and made the will of the 6th May, 1854, which the defendants I believed was duly executed and attested, so as to be an effec. tual testamentary instrument both in Baden• Baden and in this country. The case raised two questiocs for the decision of the cond. First, as regarded the legacy duty, whether the domicile of the testatrix was England or Baden Becton, and, secondly, if her domicile was abroad, whether succession duty was payable upon the property left under her will. With respect to the first the learned counsel fur the dekneants con tended that the testatrix bad done everything an English unmarried lady could do, both by fact and intention, to abandon her English domicile, and take up her domicile at Baden Laden. As to the second point, the court having intimated that they felt bound by the decision of the Howie of Lords in Capdeville's came, the learned gentleman did not contend that if she were domiciled abroad the pro perty would not be liable to succession luty. The Lord Chief Baron said there could be no doubt, ad- kering to the doctrine clearly laid down in Capdevi . Ile's cue, that, as regarded the question of succession duty, the judgment of the court most be pronounced for the crown • bat upon the other point their lordships were all prepared to pronounce an opinion. They considered there was not sufficient evidence that Miss Dallas had changed her demi. rile of origin. If the lady herself had been asked a question on the subject, she probably would have said, " I know no. thing about the law of domicile ; I have no intention of be coming a German instead of an English lady. It is very true that ea long as my sister lives I intend to live with her, but if I survive her I do not exactly know where I shall reside, but possibly I nay live with some other relative, and go back to England, though I would do so with great relac• tans, as I prefer a foreign country." but that was a very different thing from changing her domicile. The testatrix was an English lady, with her property in England, and with no occupation anywhere else. Her request that she I should be buried in the churchyard near Baden Baden would I only seem to mean that she 'embed to be buried there if she died in her sister's lifetime ; and as to her taking her library to Baden Badea, that was a very probable thing for a lady to do who intended to stay some years &bruit]. There was no sufficient evidence to show that she meant or had in point of fact changed her domicile, and judo rent would therefore be for the crown upon both points. Mr. Baran Bramwell observed that the testatrix was per sonally attached to her sister, and not locally attached to the place where she resided. He was clearly of opinion that there was no leas of the domicile of origin. Mr. Baron Channel and Mr. Baron Pigott being of the same opinion, Judgment was given for the crown, with costs, THE ATTOILNEY,INERAL I. GILL. This was an information for succession duty. The Attorner•General, the Solieitort:enend, Mr. J. Locke, Q.C., and Mr. Hanson appeared for the crown ; and Mr. Balt, Q.C., and Mr. C. Hal for the defendant. Succession duty was claimed upon the succession of the defendant, Henry Chanties Pole Gel, in the real and per sonal property devised and bequeathed by the will of Phi:ip Cell, formerly of Ilopton, in the county of Derby, who died in 1 , 442. The question was, whether the defendant was, within the meaning of that Succession Duty Act, a successor in respect of such interest, and it depended upon a nice construction of that act and the testator's will. The court took time to consider their judgment. Sittings at Nisi Prins.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) LANGLEY E. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. This wu an action brought by the plaintiff, who was in the employ of • harp-manufacturer in Bernersatreet, Oxford-street, against the defendants to recover compensa. tion in damages for an alleged false imprison ment. The defendants pleaded first cot guilty, and secondly that the plaint tf was travelling by their railway without having paid his fare, sod they appre hended him for the purpose of takin.; him before a ma gistrate, and having him dealt with according to law. Mr. Luton and Mr. Hook were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Keene, Q.c., for the defendants. It appeared that upon the 7th of November last year the plaintiff and his wife took a ticket each at the Port• land-road station to the Edgware-road station. When they arrived there they gave up their tickets, but the porter 'Upped them. saying there was something wrong about the tickets. The plaintiff and his wife protested their ignorance of anything wrong about them ; and rather than have any dispute on the platform, the plaintiff left his name sod address. He hid not goue tar out of the atation, however, before be was overtaken oy a porter, who dragged him beck to the station, tearing his coat in doing so. Upon their return to the station the plaintiff insisted upon a po licereen btiog fetched, amt in his preenee Le gave his name and address, and thereupon he was let go, being told at the same time that the tickets were for King's-cross instead of b fur the Edgware-road. After a very severe and searching cross-examination of the plaintiff the wife was called, who corroborated him in every particular, and upon that The defendants agreed to withdraw any imputation of fraud that might have been cast upon Lu cha:acter, and 1 consent to a verdict for the plaintiff for 10'. The learned judge said that the clerks at the different stations along the line should be more careful as to how ! they deliver tickets to the public. He finite concurred in I the settlement of the case. I The learned counsel for the defence said that this was the 1 only mistake that had been made, although something like 1 12 millions of tickets had been issued during the year. A verdict was then retarLed fcr t . .. 0 plaintiff--damages 1101. by consent. NEW SCHOOLS AT POPLAR.—nT s‘que time it has been painfully evident that the Ie district of Poplar was greatly in need of additional sch ool eccommodetun, and in consequence efforts have been made to raise a subecrintion for the purpose of carrying out the same. A portion of the amount required having been obtained, a contract was entered into for the erection of a suitable building in the rapidly increasing neighbourhoods of Northumberland and North-streets. Yesterday a!terooon the ceremony a laying the foundation stone of these schools took place. Shortly after the time announced, the Lord Bishop of Lon don, the Reverend W. Nowell, the rector of Poplar, rand Mr. Money Wigram, together with the gentlemen of the committee, arrived. After prayer had been offered ap by the Lord Bishop, the stone was laid with the usual formalities by Mr. Money Wigram, who afterwards, in • brief address, pointed out the great benefits such schools would confer upon the district. The large assemblage afterwards repaired to the church, where a sermon wee preached by the Lord Bishop, who appealed for further aid, which resulted in • liberal collection. The schools. it may be stated, when completed, will accom modate about MO boys, girls, and infants, and will be con structed with all soden impeoverseate. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Edward Fuller, 49, wa charged with another person. named Thomas Smith, who bad been admitted to bail, and who did not surreoder, with stealing a quantity of property, belonging to the London and South Western Railway i.bOtirpi - n Mr. R ibton aid Mr. F. IL Lewis conducted the peose cation ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Me e. The prisoner had been for novena years in the service of the company, and he was employed at the store department at Nine Elms, and a good deal of confidence was placed in him. It appeared, however, that in coesequence of some thing that occurred the proceedings of the prisoner were watched, and on the Ist of September he was seen to take • parcel out of the storehouse and give it to a man named Springett. The house of the prisoner was searched shortly afterwards, end the parcel in question was discovered, and it was found to contain some brushes, flannel, and other articles, which turned out to be the property of the war piny. The prisoner was asked how he became possessed of the brushes, and he at first said that he had bought them, but he could not say where ; and he subsequently said that Springett had purchased them for him. The ry found the prisoner Mr. Ltibtoo informed the court that a good deal of other ' property belonging to the company was found at the pri soner's house, some portion of which was concealed in the chimney of a room which he endeavoured to prevent the officer from searching, and this property was the subject of • second charge against him. There was, however, a third charge against the prisoner of a much more serious charac ter, of having stolen different articles of property, consist ing of oil, soap. and other things that were under the charge of the prisoner, and which were nearly two tons in weight, aed the whole of which were discovered at Old ham, in Kent. It appeared that the prisoner occupied • small farm at that place, and a man named Smith, who acted as his manager, who was included in the charge, and who had been admi tted to bail, appeared to have received the whole of the property to which he had referred. Smith had not surrendered, and it appeared to him that it would be better not to proceed with this charge at present, and that in the meantime the judgment upon the prisoner should be respited. The Recorder said he thought it would be as well that all the facts should be before the court before be passed sen tence, and he should, therefore, accede to the appli cation of the learned counsel. . . Irti;/;7,7l'l,describiXl as • clerk, was charged with feloniously forging and uttering an order for the delivery of • cheque book, at the Agra and Maateruian's Bank, with intent to defraud. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Giffard conducted the prosecution. The prisoner had no counsel. It appeared that the prisoner was formerly orderly clerk at the headquarters of the 3rd City of London Regiment of Rifle Volunteers, in Farriogdon-etreet, and of course in that capacity became well acquainted with a variety of matters connected with the regiment. The prisoner was removed from his position as orderly clerk in March, 1863, and from that time he had nothing whatever to do with the regiment, but it appeared that be was in the habit of calling at the headquarters in Farringdon-street and conversing with acme of the subordinate officers. He did so in the month of July, and upon this occasion it ap peered that he putsomequestiorui to the sergeant-major, named Hunt, relative to the manner in which the accounts of the regiment were kept, and where the banker's passbook was kept, and when the accounts were checked. A short time after this had taken place the prisoner went again to the headquarters and asked Hunt to give him a sheet of note paper, and he did so, and he took it away with him. On the fith of August an order for a cheque-book purporting to be signed by Major Richards, one of the officers of the regiment, was presented at the Agra and Masterman's Bank, where an account was kept, and a cheque-book was delivered upon this order. Immediately afterwards it appeared that several forged cheques, purport ing to be signed by Major Richards, Major Laurie, and other Aims forming the finance committee of the regiment, amounting in the whole to about 501 , were presented at the bank and paid. The last of these cheques that was pre sented at the bank was one for 141., which was taken to the bank on the 30th of August, and paid in two 5/. Bank of England notes and four sovereigns. The evidence against the prisoner was of the most conclusive description. It was stated, in the first instance, pretty positively that the sheet of paper upon which the forged order for the delivery of the cbeque•book was written was the same that was given to the prisoner by Hunt, the sergeant-major, and it then appeared that the forged cheques that were presented at the bank were all taken from the cheque-book that had been obtained by means of the forged order, and several of the witnesses, who had had good opportunities of obser►ing the handwriting of the prisoner, expressed • positive opinion that the forged order and the cheques were in the hand writing of the prisoner. lu addition to these facts, it ap peared that very soon after the forged 141. cheque bad been paid, • woman named Mary Anne Knight, who lived with the prisoner and passed as his wife, presented one of the 51. notes that was the produce of this cheque at a draper's shop in Holborn, in payment for a silk jacket, and the wrote the name of " N. Wilson" upon it. This witness, a showily-drused young woman, was called on behalf of the prosecution, and she admitted that she had purchased the jacket, bat said that the t+l. note had been given to her by a gentleman whom she had met in Oxford-street. She conducted herself in rather an extra ordinary manner while in the witness-box, and frequently observed that the jury "Knew what she was, and what she received the rotator," and she asserted that althoughshe had lived with the prisoner as his wife he knew nothing about the 5/. note, sod that be did not give it to her. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, entered into a long rambling statement of the circumstances con nected with his dismissed from the regiment, mod welted that he was innocent of the charge preferred against him. He also particularly called the attention of the jury to the fact that he was not only not. recognised as the person who had presented the forged order, or any of the cheques, but that the clerk at the bank had stated that it was a different kind of person to himself by whom the forged order was presented. The Recorder having summed up the jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict. After an absence of more than an hour the jury returned into court with a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner. The prisoner was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. Carl Jandwrt, 17, a German, pleaded guilty to • charge of stealing a cash box containing a considerable sum of money, the property of his muter, Henry Sstow. The prisoner begged for mercy on account of his being in a destitute state, and having no one to do anything for him. The Recorder said this did not appear to be the case ac cording to the depositions. It was there stated that the prosecutor had taken him into his service, commiserating his position, and had given hiin regular employment. The prosecutor said that this was the case, but he wished to recommend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the court, on account of his youth. The Recorder said it appeared to him to be a very bad case. The prosecutor had kindly taken the prisoner into his employment from a humane motive, and he seemed to have taken the first opportucitv that presented itself of robbing him. He then sentenced the prisoner to 12 months hard labour. Henry Hart, Id, John Chipps, and Brlvsant;n Shaw, In, were charged with stealing 19s. in silver from the person of James HalL Mr. Montague Williams prosecuted, and Mr. Pater was counsel for snaw. The robbery took place in the Oki Bailey, on Monday, the 14th November, in the mob assembled to witness the execution of Muller. The prosecutor was in the crowd about a quarter before 9, when his hat was knocked cud deity over his eyes, and while he put hie hands up to save his hat, Shaw put his hand into his pocket and tooa out the mosey he bed, amounting to Dv. in silver, and handed it to the other two prisoners. The prisoners got away for the time, but were subsequently apprehended on another charge. The prisoners were all three found Guilty. Hart and Chipps were then charged, with another lad named Thomas Kaput., with stealing a watch from the person of John Plato. The prosecutor in this case was a country gentleman, residing in Cheehire, and from what he said, it appeared that he was passing along Ludgate-hill upon the same morning, when he had his hat knocked over his eyes, and he was immediately surrounded by some lads, amongst whom were the three prisoners. His coats were pulled open, and his watch was taken from his pocket. He saw the chain in Chipps' head, and snatched it away, leaving part of it in the prisoner's hand. The prosecutor was thrown down, sod one of the prisooers pinched him severely in a pnvate part of his person, from which be had suffered severely, and in the struggle his pockets were turned insideout. Luckily a large sum of money, amountiog to 401., which the prosecutor had in one of the aide pockets, was not taken, he having kept his hand upon the pocket., and his supposition was that he w.,s pinched as be had described in order to make him remove his hind. The police, however, arrived in time, and the prisoners were secured and .alien to the station, when Hart and Chipps were identified by the prosecutor io the former case. The prisenera were each found Guilty. Hart was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with bard labour, Phipps to twelve months, Shaw to eighteen menthe, be having been previously convicted, and Rayner, who had also been previously convicted but who was only concerned in oue charge, to nine mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. (Before the Common Serjeant.) Yesterday the whole of the day was puled in this court in trying mint cases, all of which were of the ordinary character, but the sentences were more severe than usual, in consequence of the recommendation of the judges that no short periods of penal servitude should be passed. and the common serjeant has expressed his intention of follow. tog the recommendation of the judges in ell cases where the prisoners have been previously convicted. In carrying out this decision yesterday two prisoners were sentenced to tee, one to seven, 11041 several to terms of tire years' penal servitude, and there were also a large number of prisoners sentenced to short terms of imprisonment. For the mint authorities, Mr. Coleridge, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Crauford, and Mr. Poland prosecuted; and in one case Mr. Metcalfe defended. OILTHEAL PALACE. - ONE SHILLING DAlr. MONDAY.

BOW -STREET._ James Forty, a dissipated looking elder) man, a journey. man tailor, was charged with creating a • at an eating bo os. in Drury-lane. John Baylis, the landlord, said that on Saturday night the defendant entered hie shop, and ordered a bowl of soup and scree bread, which he ate. He then said,"Baylis, I have not got any money, so you can lock me up or kick me out, whichever you like, and take it out that way." The wiener told him he had better go away. The prisoner said witness owed him 4e., and demanded his change. Mr. Flowers—Do you owe him 4s. Witness—No, your worship, nor anything whatever. lie came some time ago and had some dinner, for which he did not pay. He then left an old waistcoat by way of deposit ; but it was perfectly worthier, and so far from getting four shillings for it I never bad a halfpenny. However, he would have it I owed him 4a, and he made such a row in the shop and outeide that a crowd was collected, and the policeman took him in custody, as the only means of re storing order. The constable (Floyd, 19 1') said there was a great crowd opposite Mr. Baylis's shop, and they appeared to be much diverted by the prisoner's eccentricity. Mr. Baylis was willing to forgive him the dinner if he would go away ; but there was no getting rid of him otherwise than by removing him to the stereo-house. He was very drunk. The prisoner took from his pocket a small Testament, and, holding it open in him band, laid—Your worship, I will con front this man with the Holy Scripture. Mr. Flowers—No, we don't want that. Confine yourself to the charge agai nst you. The defendant—Your worship, I am a hard-working tradesman, and an honest man, and, poor as I am, I am well connected and have had a good education. I have dealt with this man occasionally—not very constantly, indeed, for I generally get my meals in the neighbourhood where I work. That, air, is at the West-mid, which is a respectable neighbourhood, and, I assure you, very different from Drury-lane. (A laugh.) Mr. Flowers—What have you to say to the charge ? The prisoner-1 am coming to that. Not but I live in Drury -lane or, to be more particular, in Charles-street, myself ; but you sae I cannot help that. When I brought the waistcoat to him, he said it was of no use to him. I said it must be of some use, for with half a day's work I could make a very nice waistcoat of it, and I asked him to give me something to eat for it ; so he gave me a penny worth of soup and a halfpennyworth of bread. Mr. Flowers again requested the pricier to keep to the point. The prisoner, alter complaining that the complainant did not know how to treat a respectable tradesman from the West-and, proceeded to denounce the complainant am a liar, referring to the fate of Ananiu as a warning to him. He then proceeded to read from the Testament the verses re. biting the incident, and commented upon it. Mr. Flowers said he would not permit the prisoner to continue in that strain, and when the prisoner was tam menciog afresh Mr. Flowers stopped him, and said, " I have no doubt you can go on talking for a week, bat you are cunning enough to keep clear of saying anything at all relative to the charge against you. You have behaved very badly in your drunkenness, and at all events I shall keep you sober for a fortnight." Three fellows, who gav;ih7naiise of Slanbrack, Rpan, and Koch, were placed at the bar. charged with bur. glarioudy freaking and entering a dwelling-house at Chel sea. Benjamin Brett, 29 B, said that a little after two o'clock on Sunday morning be was in White Lion.street, Chelsea, when he saw the three prisoners and another man loitering about, and watched them. He concealed himself behind • wall and then lot sight of the men. The constable on the beat shortly afterwards • from the station was coming down the middle of the when a man whistled, evidently to give somebody a warning, when the prisoners all suddanly rushed out of 3, Queen's-road East. They ran in the direction of the College, permed by witness and an other constable, calling " Stop thief," and, finding • man in front of them, they turned back and were taken in charge. l'olionconstable Case, 142 B, said he beard the whistle as be approached, and saw the prisoners turn oat of 3, Queen's-road East. Mr. Partridge—What do you know of the prisoners Witness—l know two of them es being the associates of bad characters and as having been convicted. The third never did any work. Sergeant Brett said that on examining the front of 3, Queen's-road Esat the chatter bare were found to be sprung, and there were two pieces cut out of the shutters. Mr. James Curtis, proprietor of 3, Queen's-rad Feet, said that it was a coffee-hove. He retired to bed early him self, brit on inquiry of the lodger who came in after him he learnt that the Oboe was perfectly secure when he retired. He was awoke in the morning, and found the prisoners had been in there. Upon inquiries it was ascertained there was nothing stolen, as prisoners were evidently disturbed. They all clamoured forth they had done nothing, and were taken by mistake. They were committed for three months each to bard labour in the House of Correction. LAMBETH. An aged man of respectable appearance, who gave the name of William Williams, and stated himself to be • la bourer, but who, on the evening before represented him self to be • clergyman. was charged before Mr Elliott with violently assaulting Eliza White, and attempting to commit • nape on her person. The complainant said she was in the service of a gentle man in Trafalgar-rod, Old Kent-road, and that her muter and mistress having an appointment from home on the after noon of the day before they gave her permission to receive her two brothers to see her and keep her company. Before the arrival of her brothers, the prisousr,who, she saw for the first time in her life, and with whom she bad but a short and nand conversation, made his appearance in front of the house and spoke to her, and u she expected her brothers every moment she thought it no harm to admit him into the hones. The prisoner then told her that he was • clergyman, and had been eighteen years at different colleges, and in the coarse of the evening said many prayers sod gang different hymns. Her brothers and he had something to drink, and at twenty minute* to eleven they all three left the house, to go home aa she believed, but in about five minutes after the prisoner returned, and attempted to commit the offence with which he was charged. She screamed, assistance came, and he wee given into custody. The prisoner, after being cautioned by the magistrate, and told that the charge was one of • very serious charac ter, addressed the magistrate at some length, nod with a peculiar Tipperary brogue that was quite unmistakable. He placed all the blame on the young woman, who, be said, "completely beguiled him "by putting so much whisky into his tea, and afterwards allowing him to drink so much rum. He said that on leaving the hone with her brothers she gave him a silent hint to return In a quarter of an hour, but he should not have gone back had he not left his scarf there by mistake. On his going back they began romping, and while so doing fell. kir. Elliott committed tho prisoner for trial, but desired that he should be brought up on a future day. THAMES. - - - George Forst Green &Oxiii - Mtam Ste4inge were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and disor derly in the Blue Anchor public-house, Mile-end-road, Stzpney, os Saturday night. The prisoners are two pale-faced, whiskerless lads, who were intoxicated on Saturday night, and entered the Blue Anchor at nine o'clock and drank some gin and cloves with a woman who called for it just before they cams in. Mrs. Charlotte Wells, the landlady, refused to serve the beard• less boys with anything, and they began quarrelling with two more lads, and made a great dlsturbanee. Mr. Wells, the landlord, got the prisoners out of the home and closed the door upon them. They kicked at the door and tried to break it open. Failing in this, Green sent his fist through a pane of glass. The glass cut the landlady on the fore head severely, sad caused her to bleed from the wound very copiously. Another pane of glass was broken by Green, and it cut a lodger in the face. The row motioned for some time, and the police were celled, who took the prisoners to the station house. John Miller said he was a lodger in the Blue Anchor. Stabbings wasted to fight him in the house. He refused the challenge, and told the prisoner to fight with& boy and not with a man. He confirmed generally the statement of Mrs. Wells. . . _ TlSprisoners humbly expressed their sorrow for what they bed done. Mr. Paget fined the prisoners ss. each, and Green to pay 3. in addition for the glass he had broken. The money was paid. WANDSWORTH. Among two or three cues brought before Mr. Dayman, yesterday, under the Vaccination Act, wu one ainst Mrs. Sharp, of Battenea,summoned for not having h ad her child vaccinated. She pleaded guilty, and said her children had had the smallpox. Mr. Merriman uid she bad refused to allow her children to be vaccinated, and bad said, "If it is God's will they should have the smallpox they would have it." The con sequences had been most lamentable. Three children had died from smallpox. There were five children in the family unvaccinated. Some of them seemed to be ignorant of the use of vaccination, and had done all in their power to induce their neighbours not to have their children Teo dusted. _ _ _ _ Mr. Daymao fined the parties in each case se. and costs. Mr. Dayman granted costs to the witnesses, which will have to be recovered from the orerseers,and paid out of the poor rate.

THE DISTIZESS IN LANCASHIRE. A meeting of the Central Executive Committee was held yesterday, in the Town Hall, Manchester, the High Sheritf (Sir J. Kay•Shuttleworth) in the chair. The Hon. Secretary reported that 591. ss. 6.1. had been received during the pest week, and that the balance in the bank was nth 7d. Mr. Fernsll presented his usual re port, which stated that on the 12th inst. there was an in crease in the number of persons receiving parochial relief in the 27 unions of the cotton maoufacturiog districts, as compared with the number so relieved in the preview' week, of J. The total cost of outdoor relief on the 12th inst. was 6,6931. llrs. 4d. ; in the corresponding week of 18,4 it was 2,5051. 12s. id. ; there is, therefore, an increase of 4,08. i/. 6e. 11d., or 1(13.2 per cent. In this corresponding week of 1363, it was :02!. is. NI. ; thus 1.130 coat of outdoor relief ou the 12th inst. was id. leas than that of the correspood.ng I week of last year. In reply to Lord Egertoo, Mr. Farnall stated that the decrease of 332 able-bodied men relieved turns th 3 poor rates was doubtless owing to the increased I employment of such men on public works. Mr. Madura having read his report, the committee announced publicly that at its meeting next Monday it would adjourn fur three weeks. The Hon. Secretary laid on the tabletreturus which hld been obtained, pursuant to a resolution of the Central Executive Committee, of the balances of subscriptions to the Central Relief Fund not retnittad, but which were returned by the collecting committees, all of them in ;dices situated outside the cotton districts. A discussion ensued on the question of the publication of these returns. On the one hand this publication was urged in justice to the committee. who had faithfully re mitted all the subscriptions confided to them for the relief of the distress in the cotton districts, and to the public, on whom further claims had been recently advocated. On the other hand it was suggested that the motivis for con tribution to the canted fund, whether from individuals or districts, ought to be spontaneous, and to arise out of a conviction that the condition of the workmen in the cotton districts, and the tendency to the exhaustion of the resources available for their relief,'conatituted a legitimate claim on public sympathy. As, however, the amount of the balances unremitted was reported to he upwards of 70.0t-01 , it wa+ res.dved that a circular should be mot to each of the committees, and published with the proceed ings of the day. THE WRE,K OF THE SHIP WILLIAM GRAHAM.— 1 Yesterday the Baird of Trade inquiry into the loss of the above vessel was resumed at Liverpool, when Mr. T. S.

Hewison„ the muter, th.default, in that ef ter getting his ship into a most dangerous position, by an error of judgment, end declining to accept the services of a load pilot or listen to his advice, be continued to rue, boldly into a bay with which he was totally unacquainted without taking the usual precaution of heaving the lead until it was too late to avo:d the catastrophe. Taking into Louse. deratiou the antecedents of the master, his mature age, and the excellent testimonials produced, the court was induced to pronounce a lenient sentence, trusting that this accident may act as a warning to Mr. llewisoa to exercise , caution in future.
