THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF DOIENCE; OAXBRIDOZ, WIDNIIIDAT. • This was the last day of the meeting of the Amenities, sad it waa istasilsd thit the meesedings should be cooled to forma basis= aoneseted with the financial and other arrangements of the body. But several isms is two of the sections having been postponed from yesterday, those sections met this morning. • • • • • - - It should be stated that last night there was a ,mime in the Assembly-room, which, notwithstanding the unfavour able change in the weather, was greatly crowded. Although the proceedings did not finally terminate until to-day this was tate last great gathering, sad all who had taken a part in them seemed to have bees desirous to be present to see and be seen, and to talk over sod criticise the events of the week. Besides the °Soars of the Ansa:bairn, and of the different sections, and the members, the comps°, embraced many daskegaidiad visitors, a considerable number of Indies, and • good sprinkling of university men in academic costume. On the walls mire displayed several large diagrams illustrative of Mr. °Mahe?' aerial voyage, five miles above the earth, which proved very interesting to the several hundred per sons who were prevented, owing to the limited capacity of Sidney Sussex Hall, bearing that gentleman a paper read yesterday. The tables displayed • valusble collection of microscopce sad other philosophical and scientific iostru manta, etereoecopes, photographs, rare fossils, some beau tiful enamels and mosaics from Venice ; • registering tele graph, by IL. Serials ; • forcing apperatus, end a variety of other objects well deserving inspection. The chief at. traction of the evening, however, consisted in the exhibition by Y. Claudet, the well-known photographer, of pictures enlarged from cartes de risite by moms of • magnifying apperatm similar to that used in the production of dis solving views. These were thrown on a white due, where they appeared twenty times as large as the piece of glass on which they had bee° photographed, and with an accuracy and completeness which almost brought the living original before the eye. One of the latent photographs of the Prince Consort was displayed in this way, and looked so remarkably life-like that the whole of the spectators involuntarily ex pressed their admiration in every emphatic meaner. A curious machine, invented by a gentlemen named Guy, to supply motive power by means of electro-magnetism, also excited considerable interest. Refreshments were abundantly sup plied to the guests during the evening, and the entertain ment was altogether a very brilliant and successful affair. It should be stated that the enamels and mosaics above mentioned were exhibited at the request of the Aseociation by Signor Antonio Sa'yeti, who is now engaged in the execution of mosaic decorations in St. Paul's C►thedral. Some interesting maps and hemispheres by Chevalier Villa, and on which be had read a paper in one of the sections, were also exhibited. A meeting of the general committee wan hetd in the alder men's parlour at one o'clock. Professor Wn.us in the chair. Auditors having been appointed for the next meeting, the payment of the following sums proposed by the oommittee of reoommendatioas was sanctioned: Maintaining the establishment of Kew Observatory, 6001.; House for the photobeliograph at Kew, 1004 Mathematics and Physic -Profeesor Willimassoo, electri eel standards, 1004; Professor Williamson, for coestructiag and distributing ditto, 501.; Colonel Sykes, balloon ascents, 2001.; Colonel Sykat balloon committee (de&iaoy), 701.; Colonel Sykes, other expenses of balloon ascent., 251.; Mr. °lather, meteors, 201.; Mr. Jenkin, thermoelectricity, 151.; • Profaner Hennessy, vertical atmospheric movement., 201.

The committee of recommendations also serrated that various papers should be printed among the Transactions, and that various members and committees should be requested to continue their reports; and the general committee adopted that suggestion. The committee then adjourned, to meet at Newcastle-cm- Tyne at the end of A ugust next year. The concluding general meeting took place at • later hoar, in the Assembly-room, Professor Wn.Lus 'rein presid ing. The attendance was not large, many of the members having left the town on an excursion to Ely Cathedral. The PALMA:ZIT aid be regretted to may that they had now arrived at the conclusion of their proceedings, but some r iutine business bad to be performed before they finally separated. Profaner PHILLIPS, the general secretary, gave the fol lowing summary of the number of persons who bad attended the meeting, with the amount of money which had been received by the treasurer. There had been 139 old life members, who, having in former years paid a life subscription did not now contri bute any more money. They bad fifteen new life member', who each paid 101. making 1501. Old annual members attended to the number of 150, and as each paid U. for the year, a sem of 1481. was received from them, 21. having been paid in the early part of the ear. There were 57 new annual subscribers who paid 2 1, each, making 1141. The associates who attended numbered 435, paying 1/. each, and they also bad the presence of a considerable number of members to whose attendance they attached considerable importance, though they never paid anything. He meant the ladies. (Laughter and cheers.) They paid nothing, but at the same time it was equally true that the association received from their friends who were permitted to pay for them a sum of 2421. (Chem.) He believed it would also be a gratifying announcement that 25 foreign gentlemen bad been enrolled members since lest year, and had attended this meeting. (Hear, hear.) The total amount received was 1,0891. (Cheers.) Professor Phillips then read the lista of grants which is given above. This paper, the professor remarked, conveyed • clear notion of the application of certain funds of the emaciation, the most prominent grant being that for the maintenance of Kew Observatory. Mr. Glaither's success justified further ex periments, and these it bad been arranged should take place at various smarm of the year, or at sea, so that the various pima of the sky and atmosphere might be observed upon. The professor entered on the history of experiments previously made in the nation' to which these grants ap- plied, sod the importance of which will be understood from the enumeration. Passing on to a consideration of the places at which meetings had already been held, and the comparative importance of such meetings, the professor observed that there meld have been such great and important meetings at Manchester, Birmingham, sod Newcastle, if there had not been equally boneurable rose,. kegs in Cambridge, Oxford, and other celebrated places. The professor enumerated the popes to be printed in extols°, and in digest, at the expense of the association, and the names of the gentlemen appointed on various com mittees for future investigation of many scientific objects, the result of which will be stated at the next meeting. The PREsIDENT next, in a long address, proceeded to acknowledge the obligations of the sesociatiou to the various bodies and individuals who had masted them at the meet ing now nearly concluded. They had also to thank the University for the use of the senate, the library, and the schools. TM fact that the University had postponed a very important theological examination, which ought to have taken place this week, in order to let them have the use of the former building, was a proof of the exceeding good will on its part to the association. (Cheers.) They had also to thank the mayor sod the town council for the use of the Guildhall, and for throwing open all the public and private rooms connected with it ; and he might mention that they had removed the petty SeilliCOON elsewhere in order to better accommodate the emaciation. Hs, also asked them to thank the different colleges- Trinity, King's, Clare, Gonville and Cans, Sidney Sussex, and Trinity Hall, for leading them their halls and lecture rooms for the business of the sections. In conferring this favour the heads of those colleges had not forgotten their kitchens, because they had entertained the mewl. distin guished members of the association with that hospitality with which they were all familiar on great days. (Hear, bear.) Thanks were also due to the Great Eastern, the Great Northern, and the London and North Western Rail ways. for affording facilities for the travelling of members and allowing them to take return tickets. They were also greatly indebted to Dr. Tyodal for his admirable lecture on the action and force of water; and to Dv. Oiling for hie lecture on organic chemistry ; sad to the other gentlemen who bad lent them the microscopes and various apparstue for exhibition. He would further request them to give their thenks to the local mantissa, Prof. Bebingtoo, Prof. Liveing, and the Rev. N. M. Ferrers.and to the Rev. W. M. Campion, the local treasurer, and bathe local committee. It was now his duty to announce thatths business of the meeting was at on end, and tied the meeting of the British Association stood adjourned to Newcsale-upeeeTyne, where they ex. petted to meet some time in Aug us t next year. Toe exact period had not yet been fixed, Nana that could only be done by consultatin with the local authorities, whose con valence would have to be consulted. He could not coo elude without expressing a hope that the emaciation might see in August next at Newcastle the faces of the local authorities who had received them so cordially on the pre sent occasion, and also of the ladies and gentlemen of Cam bridge. The proceedings of this highly interestiog meeting of the association were then brought to a close.

SHERIFFS' COURT. —Ocr. 8, (Before Kr. Gibbons.) CLAIM V. PICANSOIL -TEO IOWLICAN BLOCKADE. - filfnUlti OF THE CIECABSIAN.-CLAIM TOR WAGES. This was an action to recover 10i. damages in the nature et wages, plaintiff having been • seaman on board the steens-ehip Circassian, of which the defendant is the owner. Mr. Hoffman was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Murphy for the defendant. Mr. Hoffman said this case arose out of the capture of the Circassian by the Federal government of America. The plaintiff is • seamao, end the defendant is the well-known shipowner of Hull and elsewhere. The plaintiff shipped on board the Circesein in Cardiff, sad proceeded in her to several ports, at last win on towards Havannah, where she was seined. The Circamian was boarded by • Federal gunboat on the ited Jim. and taken into New Quay, Florida, where she was condemned. The seamen were kept in • boarding house by the British coned, and fi nally sent home. Mr. Murphy mid the seamen had bees paid up to the time of the capture, the 4th of May. An appeal is now , lying before the supreme court in America, u we were upon a perfectly legal voyage. Mr. Hoffman—We have nothing to do with the American law, but now seek to recover under the English law. We say that the defendant brought the seizure of the vessel upon himself by having central:rod goods on board, ' and we further say that the plaintiff is entitled to mover up to the 16th July, when the plaintiff arrived at Liverpool. Now this vessel was not lost at sea or by fire, but by an act ef the defendant himself. The defendant says that his vowel has been improperly condemned, and that an appeal is lying, but if the condemnation is reversed I suppose we shall be required to go to the American Federal govern. merit for our wages. There are a great many of these cases, and we have only brought one to obtain your Honour's opinion upon it. Mr. Mulphy would not call upon hie friend to produce witnesses. Plaintiff—He did not break the blockade at all. Mr. Hoffman—The plaintiff shipped for • certain voyage, and if that voyage was cut short by any act of defendant, that person is clearly liable. Mr. Murphy then contended that the Circessian had been illegally seised by the Federal government, and that such seizure was now being appealed against. It was not compo teat for the plaintiff to bring this suttee until the case was finally settled by the Supreme Court of America, The Federal government bed no more right to min the Circas sian when they did than they would have to have done so in the British Channel. Hu Honour—You say it wee an act of piracy. Mr. Murphy—Yea, we look at the seizure in the light of ley His Honour—l suppose you do not deny that there were contraband goods on board? Voioce—" No, no." Mr. Murphy—l must not admit that which, indeed is not the ear. His jimmy said he should take time to consider, but was atLreeemnturiziet the said defendant. en i s e mas. wooll, in the event of aanmadveirsePortdeaciton,qutimso. 11isHonour—As the amount is under 20/. I have no power to grant a case. Yon see that it is Lid down that the seaman shall not forfeit his wages under similar circum stances. Mr. Murphy—But this is • very different case, and t►ken out of the usual line of wogs& This is e most important question for the defendant, sa there are a peat number of time men. Mr. Hoffman—l am not going for vindictive damage., bet 1 urge that we are entitled to your Honour's decuion. If the defendant has other ships einailarly situated we ha►e nothing to do with that. His Honour—No ; I must consider thia cue, and I will deliver judgment on a future day.

THE MARSHLAND INUNDATION. KING'S LYNN, WZMIXIIDAT ANTIRIOOI. Last evening the wind fortunately leeeoned, and the tide was conesquently not quite se high as antieipaki. It wee, nevertheless, 19 feet 6 inches above zero—neari 2 feet above the level of the highest laud in Ma rsh It was again of the lame height this morning, but there is now a prospect of its " seeping," as the full moon is pest, and the weather again very fine. The quantity of land actually flooded by this morning's tide is estimated at full 4,000 acres. Of this quantity, 3,000 acres are in Marshland Fen, and constitute about half the lend subjected to the former inundation. The Marshland " Smooth" is at pre sect comparatively uninjured. The remaining 1,000 acres are in Marshland proper, and include several small farms. The flood extends along the bank of the Wiabesch Railroad for nearly a mile. It is at present some 2i feet below the level of the rails ; but the high wind of yesterday at times dashed the water completely over. Several cot are under water at Thorntons.bridge, and in Tilney and • - ton parishes; and the house of the Rev. J. Pararaore and the meanie of Islingt-perk (the seat of J. 1). Hahne, Faq.) are threatened with a similar misfortune. The Smeeth and Fen drain serves 7,040 acres ; and the Marshland sewer, about 15,000 sores. The whole of these lands are liable to participate in the misfortune if the progress of the flood be not soon stopped. There are plenty of defensive banks across Marshland, some of them dating as far back as the second or third century, but in many places they have been out through for earth to fill up hollows, or excavated for clay to casks heieks—a promos still continued, although it may not be so much in favour after the disastrous results following that use of the bank between the two drains. Thedam across the Fen drain at St. Mary's brick bridge was commenced and completed yesterday, between tides, and with inch success as to stand against that evening's and this morning's assaults. The framework consists of six piles drivels into the bed of the drain, across which three timbers are fixed horizontally. The intervening spaces were covered with battens, forming a shield, against which some 5,000 sacks tall of earth were deposited. The wood-work was executed by Mr. Harding, but the farmers of the district claim the credit of the earth-work, which was done under their direction, as they were dissatisfied with what they considered the dilatory nature of the engineer's promedimps. As a matter demise the closing of one channel by the dam has sent the water in large quantities over the banks between dam and alaice, which are still very low, so low that at high water they were for a considerable length in visible. The work of heightening them was resumed salami as the subsidence of the water would admit, and sanguine hopes are entertained that by this evening they will be effec tually raised the one or two feet necessary for their pur pose. These raised banks arenow being more system:Xi made of good clay mixed with straw and roughly p addled. The work is superintended by the farmers of the two dis tricts jointly, the working committee of Marshland Smooth and Fen and the expenditors of Marshland taking the lead. The dam at the junction sluice has been commenced under the direction of Mr. Murray, C. E., and preparations are making for that purpose by Sir John Rennie, near the sluice. A number of men are engaged in palling the sluice to pieces to save the materials. The north as well as the math wings are now decidedly undermined and cracked, and large masses of ma sonry have fallen into the bed of the drain. The sheet piling, not long since put down, is also being washed away ; but the most alarming fact is that the south bank, where it joins the bank of the Ouse, is caving in rapidly, portions of a score or more tons weight every now sod then felling into the gulf with• crash. They are soon softened and dispersed by the stream. The highest portion of the bank has thvady gone in one plain. Mr. Valentine, C. E., and Mr. W. S. Simpson, oontracitor, having been retained by the Court of Sewers, have inspected the Marshland drain, and are making preparations ( or their week. The fi rst thi ng is to heighten the beaks from the outfall up to the junction sluice ; and it is also intended to have piles and pile-engines, and all other essentials, pre pared for sinking a dam at any time should it become desir able. The dam which was pat across the junction sluice itself has been taken out again, under Mr. Valentine's directions, to allow the tack water to run off through the sewers, as otherwise there was danger of its bursting the dam. The meeting and dinner of the Marshland Agricultunl Association, which was to have been held under the pre sidency of Mr. G. Bentinek, M.P (an extensive land owner in the district), has been postponed PAC die in conmequenco of the present calamity. A LANDLORD CHARGED WITH ROBrigar.—Sider. Fitzgerald, keeper of the Tiger Inn, Delsotreet, Liverpool, arse yesterday charged before the Liverpool magistrates with robbing an emigrant (Peter Beck), who had been stay ing at his boum, of about XX. The money formed the change of a bill which Beek got discounted at Heywood's bank, and it consisted of two 101. end one 5/. note*, ■nd the balance in grid and silver. After drinking below stake, Beck bad gone to bed, in a somewhat muddled but not I drunken state, and on awaking about two o'clock next morning he found his money (which we, safe when he went to bed) miming. He aroused the landlord, and informed him of bin loss ; other lodgers in the house were searched, but the money was not found. It subsequently transpired, however, that the landlord had actually paid one of the stolen notes to a beer agent in Liverpool. The prisoner ad mitted that he bad paid the note in cknertion, but said that be found it with other money in his till, sod that to t►e best of his knowledge it came there honestly, and in the way of trade. In order to clear up the mystery the ere wee remanded.

The fury, after deliberating emu time, returned the fol lowing verdict :—" That the primmer made the false pre. tencea, and that the prosecutors parted with the goods on the faith of the documents produced, but that the prisoner ultimately intended to pay for them." Mr. Payne stated that he could not take that verdict — that it must be a verdict of guilty or not guilty. Mr. Itibton said as the prisoner was undefended, he might, u amicus oar* suggest that the verdict ought to be re corded, and that it amounted substantially to a verdict of not guilty. The other members of the bar present intimated their assenkand a good deal of excited altercation followed. The learned deputy judge explained the awe again to the jury, when they eventually returned a verdict of Guilty. It was then urged by several members of the bar that the first verdict ought to have been received. Dr. Bateman, one of the magistrates present, with some warmth, said th►t in his opinion it was a verdict of not guilty. (Applause is court.) The prisoner was then ordered to stand down to eoable the deputy . judge to consult Mr. Bodkin, the assistant judge, and the prisoner will be brought up again this day. James Ternie, 36, and Jaw Burns, 26, were found Guilty of unlawfully assaulting Joseph Case, a countable of the metropolitan police force, in the execution of his duty, and sentenced to hard labour for 15 months.

Cooke with assaulting Peter Hagan, another labourer. Complainant and defendant are Irishmen. The former swore that at a late hour on the previous night he was, while walking along Whitechapel, set upon by the other without a word imaging between them, and struck violently "somewhere" about the head, although he could not say steely where, as he fell to the ground directly. Defendant then kicked him in the face. ifs admitted having had • " chap." Defendant declared that be bad been that attacked, and the matter stood thus :—Hagan *topped him, and asked, "Are you for the Pope or G ar i baldi '." The reply wee, " I don't cars for either one for I couldn't get a shilling oat of them if I wanted it." Upon which Hypo hit him in the face, and he of come struck again. He denied having kicked him. Garter, 88 H, said that be heard something spoken of about Garibaldi and the Pops, but could not swear who uttered the words, nor did he see Hagan strike the other man, although he saw the latter assault him as described. De fendant also struck, kicked, and threw him (witness) down several times, but not to hurt him particularly. Defendant here remarked that be was also in liquor; in deed, so much so, that it was not until after he bad been in the station-bonae some hours that he ascertained he had been cut or stabbed in the right arm ; he could not, how ever, say how that was done. Bendsil, the gaoler, examined the man's clothes; blood was upon the coat, w hich, with the shirt, bad manifestly been pierced with a knife-blade point; a slight wound wag on the elbow,. . _ The Ontistaide said that both tam were in liquor, and that he had not seen or found soy knife. Mr. Cooke fined defendant 'hi. for each assault, or in de fault, ten days' imprisonment. fdARLDOROUGH-STREET. Mn Charlotte Lloyd, an elderly woman, the keeper of a "leaving shop," in Dorset-place East, was summoned before Mr. Tyrwhitt for refusing to deliver up to Martha Leasing. ham, her niece, two boor containing wearing apparel, her property. —. Mr. Byron attended for the complainant. The complainant, a mild-looking young woman, said she was a servant, and it was her custom when out of place to go to her aunt's, and there remain until she got another situation. To pay for her lodging and keep she gave her aunt the whole of her wages in hand, and assisted in the shop and the house work. Recently she had had the good fortune to haves legacy of 151. left to her. This money she lodged in the savings bank, and having an invalid sister she drew out 4/. to pay the sister's lodgings, and then she told her aunt she proposed to go and live with her sister, that she might tend her in her dines'. The aunt, who had been informed of the legacy, then made a demand on her for board and lodging during the various periods she had been out of a situation, and until this demand was paid or the residue of the legacy handed over to her, declared she would detain the boxes, and if not redeemed by a particular time sell the contents. Mr. Tyrwhitt mired the complainant if she was certain there was no agreement to pay for board and lodging with the defendant. The complainant said there was nothing said about the matter. Her aunt had her household services and all her money in lieu of her lodging and keep. The defendant produced a piece of paper, which she said was of the nature of an agreement with her niece. Mr. Tyrwbitt looked at the parer, and then declined to receive it in evidence. He was of opinion that the defendant had no lien on the boxes, and he should rooks an order for them to be delivered up. The defendant, in a rage, said, "11l go to prison before I'll eve them up." Yr. Tyrwhitt—Then I am afraid I shall have to send you Deteodant (tarti 7 )—nt not give them up, and 111 not go to prince. ru die Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall make my order it the boxes are not delivered up before the court closes.

Thomas Gilmour, a constable belonging to the South Western Railway ompany, deposed that in the month of February last be accidentally met the prisoner at the Waterloo Station, and was asked by him if be could recom mend him to a lodging. He represented that he had been engaged as clerk in the traffic manager's department, and that he was a relation of the gentleman who was at the bead of that office. He (witness) replied that be wield ac commodate him with a lodging at bin house if it would suit him, and referred the primmer to his wife, with whom be made an arrangement to take the lodgings. The prisoner remained at hie home for two nights, and left as be said for the purpose of discharging his duties as clerk in the traffic department. On the third day he came home at one o'clock, but refused to stay dinner, alleging that be had to go to the Victoria Station, where he had been previously em ployed, in order to bring away his carpet-leg. He then went umtairs on pretence of washing his hands, and eventually quitted the house to which he never returned. The same evening a pair of boota belonging to a brother constable who lodged in his house was missed, and a pair of old once had been left in their stead. Nothing more was heard or seen of the prisoner until that morning, when he was ' seen driving a cab past witness's house. Witness stopped and charged him with stealing the boots, when he denied all knowledge of them, and told the witness to be careful of what he said else he would get himself into trouble. He, however, told him he was sure he was the man, sod should give him into custody, end he then acknowledged the offence and offered him money to make it up. He refused, and gave him into custody. The witness added that if the prisoner was remanded a number of other and similar charges would be preferred waist him. The prisoner, on whom was fond a driver's badge, No. 14,341, and who it appears has been in the service of Mr. Standen, a cab proprietor, was remanded to Monday next. The four navigator who have been in custody for soma weeks for a murderous assault upon a constable belonging to the 1' division of police were fully committed for trial. wee clear proof of frauds having been committed and money obtained. The cam was exoeedinglycomplicsted, but be most 1 noravel it as well u beeould, and time moat be given for that purpose. It was, to say the least of it, most extraordinary that so many persona had been gulled by specious adver tisements and well got up circulars. Instead of parting with their money for stamps end first year's interest they should have demanded the loan before they parted with • farthing. He should remand all the prisoners again for another week. GREENWICH. Mr. John Grossmith, of 85, Newgate-street, City, and Sutton, Surrey, distiller, appeared to an adjourned sum mons before Hr. Trani, which charged him with travelling in • train on the Leaden and Brighton Railway without first obtaining a ticket, and also with refusing to pay the full fare from the station from whence the train originally started. iii. inspector Carpenter said the company had felt it nerceeaary to take the present proceedings, the defendant having set them at defiance, and expressed his determina tion, in a letter to the secretary, in the event of the hear ing of the summons being persisted in, to take the case into a higher tribunal for decision. The acte of the cue were that on the evening of the 15th of August the defendant arrived by train at the Forest-hill station, and not having • ticket, the full fare of 2s. 4d., from Leatherhead, was de manded. The defendant refused to pay any more than the fare from Sutton, which the ticket collector declined taking, it being • rule, in order to prevent fraud, for no servant, under such circumstances, to take lees than the through full fare, the passenger being left to satisfactorily explain to the secretary the station at which he or she might have commenced the journey, when any excess was repaid. The defendant had been informed of this regulation, but as he still refused to pay anything more than the fare from Sutton, which he had sent in postage stamps, the company had to ask for him worship's decision. The defendant, in reply to the magistrate, said he resisted paying the fare demanded, considerincan unjust law which enabled railway companies to c e a person for travelling a greater distance than he cou ld prove he had done. They often heard of cabmen and omnibus cos doctors being punished for overcharging passengers, and he contended that railway companies were subject to the same law. _ _ Mr. Trsill said that by the by-laws of the company, which had received the sanction of the Board of Trade, sad were therefase equally the law as any act of parliament passed by the legislature, the defendant had rendered him self liable to a penalty of 40s. and meta. He (Mr. Tail]) eat there to administer the law, and would not permit the defendant to complain or express an opinion in that court that the law was unjust. The defendant was then ordered to pay a fine of Bk. and costa. The defendant inquired if there was no appealing against the decision. Mr. Traill remarked that fortunately for the defendant there wall no right of appeal, and the money waa then paid. ILAM3fERSMITH. Abigail Dore, aged 73, was charged with the following wholesale robbery : George Clark said he lived at Kassal-green. Oe Tuesday afternoon be saw the primmer come out of thepte of the resi dence of the late MrShrimpton with her apron full of clothes. He told his landlady what be bad seen, and they kept a watch upon the house. He saw the prisoner return to Mr. Sitimptou's house, open the abutters, and climb in through the window. She closed the shutters after her. He and hi landlady went to the house and opened the shutters. The prisoner was in the room, and was in the act of taking up the carpet. His landlady asked her what she was doing there. and she replied that she came to me whet die could do. She also said that she was not doing any bum. Police - constable Marebam, 296 11, mid that about fear o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he was on duty at Kemal green, when he was called to No. 4, Wiodeor-coodages. He examined the abutters, and found that the window-sill had been cut, to admit of the bolt being withdraws. Therewere footmarks on the sill, and also on the table inside the room. The place and boxes inside were all in confusion. He mw the prisooer come out of No. 7, and seeing him she turned and ran away. He caught her, and found a pair of the late Kr. Shrimpton's boots in her pocket. He took her back to her room, and discovered a large quantity of misoellaceous articles belonging to the de cea sed gentleman. The pro perty consisted of a sable muff and boa, dressing gown, five silk stockings, seven white handkerchiefs, knives and forks, Ac. She told him that Mr. Stith:tiptop had her several tbiop, and she went to fetch them. C sp r a on stable also said that the prisoner was under the inflames ci licuor. . John Taylor, horticultural builder, Kemal-green, said he was one of the executor' of the late Mr. Henry Mills Shrimpton. He was joint executor with Yrs. Shrimptoe, an elderly lady, who had been taken away by one of her !dews. The will had not yet been prove& but the pro perty in the house was under his care. He had locked up the house and fastened the shutters. When he heard of the robbery he went to the house, and found that it had been completely ransacked. The prisoner must have gone a num ber of times to have taken the property found in her room. The witness then gave the prisoner a good character when sober. He said she bad a pair of boots in her possession, end was going to pledge them for more drink when she was stopped by the constable. The prisoner, who took large quantities of snuff all the time she was in the dock, said she used to run for errands for Hr. Sin impton. Mr. Taylor said she bad done so, and also for other people. Mr. Andrew, the clerk, informed his worship that the prroner had been convicted several times for petty rob beries and other offences. Mr. Ingham said the prisoner would hare to go for trial for larceny in a 4 welling•house. The prisoner was remanded for the depositions. WANDBWOILTH. The prisoner Al 'Ay was again brought up, and further remanded for • week, on the charge of shooting Henry Cook, a grocer, in Battersea-fields, it being stated that the wounded man was better, but not at present in • fit state to attend the court. THAMES. --- Benjamin Harden, a a:avenger, in the employ of Mark Tomkios, contractor, was brought before Mr. Wool. rycb, charged with discharging a load of mud or street scrapings into the common sewer in the parish of St. George-m-the-Est. Samuel Richardson, a police-constable, No. 229 H, said he found the prisoner that morning in charge of a scaven ger's horse and cart. The cart contained loose mud, the sweepinp of the street. He had just passed the horse and cart, and was a few paces from it, when he heard a loud splash, and on turning round saw the cart right over a grating leading to the common sewer, and the mud running down. The cart was brim full when he first saw it, and when it was over the grating it was nearly empty. As soon as the pri soner saw him, he whipped his horse and started off at full speed, and as the cart rattled over the street the mud fell out. He took the prisoner into custody, and he admitted he took the peg out of the mart and turned the rand out. The Prisoner—No ; it fell out just as I was passing over the grating. Mr. Woolrych—lt was a very remarkable coincidence, indeed, that it should have fallen out over the grating. The policeman was recalled, and said the prisoner west out of his way into a back street. The drain is at the corner of Pennington-street and Artichoke-hill, St. George-in-the. East The prisoner went down hill from Rateliff.highwar. and had to drive up bill again. He bad no bulimia that way. Police... Sergeant Barnes, No. 10 11, said the grating in question was over and communicated with the common sewer, and a similar offence had been repeatedly committed, to the manifest injury of the sewers. He questioned the prisoner,l who said he went into the back streot by accident. The Prisoner—The peg us the shaft of the cart was shaken out. _ Mr. Woo ryes said this was a very serious offence indeed. This was the way sewers were choked up, and the cleaning out of the sewer would be attended with a great expense. Lazy fellows like the prisoner would not do their duty, end the semen were injured. The clerk or surveyor of the dis trict board ought to have been in attendance. He would not act in such a case again unleen the district board, whicdt had the care of the sewer, prosecuted. He tined who pri soner Ws. Esther Bays, aged 20, of No. 23, Riohard-attest, Liroebouse-fields ; Eliza Towitakend, a widow, 33, of No. 12, Mercer-street, Long acre ; Peter Paul, alias Waker Brawls, of 12, Cecil-court, P.t. Martin's-lane, where he has long carried on an immoral trade ; Pat ieh Bay, 22, bill poster, of No. 10, Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's-inn-lane ; and James Smith, 32, commission agent, of Sussex-chambers, Bonveriestrest, Pleet.street, were brought up on remand charged with swindling. Mr. Male, barrister, defended Paul and Day; Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended Smith ; Mr. Waren, from Stubbs' Trade Protection-office many of whose cheatsbad been defrauded, and who exposed; the gang a year ago, was in at-endance to watch the case on behalf of many persona. . . _ The evidence given last week by Inspector Griffin, Ser geant Briden, and Venable', • comitable of the K proved that the prisoners and a man not in custody had con spired together and bad caused advertieemente to be inserted in many of the provincial journals offering to lend money on personal security, and directed applications to be to the "Richards' Estate Fund Association, R. H. Twining, manager, 23, Richard-street, London, R" Bays lived in this house a mall one and badly furnished, only to receive the letters , which were delivered there in great numbers every day except Sunday during the months of July, August, and September, and were called for every morning and taken away by the other ni -1 goners. Many of those letters were registered, and *then contained postmffice orders made out in favour of R. H. Twining and Samuel Gilbert, represented to be the manager and treasurer of the association. The postmffice orders were in every instance but one brought to the offices in London where they were made payable by Smith. After the first year's intern; on the loan promised to be granted was forwarded to London, the victims never reoeivcd • ' farthing. On the prisoners being placed in the dock, Mr. Wool. rych inquired if any professional gentleman attended for the prosecution. Inspector Griffin replied in the urrative. The Commis sioners of Police were Dot in the practice of employing legal gentlemen to conduct proaecutioos, and the persons who had been swindled and parted with their money wire too poor to do so. Mr. Wooluck said this was the most complicated cue that ever came before him, and he regretted very much there was no barrister or tolicitor in attendance to conduct so im portant a prosecution. Inspector Griffin said he had requested the attendance of many witnesses, of whom thirteen were present. All the persons defrauded by the loan swindle gang lived in radon* parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, and a great ma jority of them were too poor to defray the expenses of a journey to London. Mr. James Strickland, of Wimborne, Dorset, boot and shoe maker, who had been defrauded of 12/. 75., and who was promi se d a loan of 2001., and Mr. Reuben Clark, boot maker, of Winterslow, near Salisbury, who applied for a luau of 501„ which he never had, and from whom the gang obtained 41. ss. fod., gave evidence at great length. The swindle in each and every case was awed on in the following manner. When application was made to the self styled Richards' &tate Fund Association, 23, Richard. street, London, E., the pretended manager and sometimes secretary, „ ft. H. Twining," wrote to the applicants for refereoce& The persons referred to having answered the inquiries ddtwawi to them, the applicants were advised by letter that the loans would be granted, stamped promissory notes fur the borrowers' signatures being forwarded et the same time, to be returned with the first year's interest on the loan, the price of the stamp having been previously re mitted. Of course no loans were ever greeted, gad excuses were sent to the persons duped that the solicitor of the association was not satisfied with the signatures because they were not attested. To give an appearance of fairness to these transactions the signatures to the promissory notes only . were returned, and a promos was held out that Mr. Twin ing or Mr. Twining's son would call upon the would-be borrowers at their own dwellings in the country, and attest their signatures. Mr. Clark, after being swindled of his money, came to London and lodged a complaint with the oommisaioners of police. Acting under the advice of Mr. Griffin, he applied for another lose in the name of John Brown, carpenter, Pitton, near Salisbury, and gave a reference to James Green, a tailor. His appli cation was answered in the usual manner, and ss. for a stamp was requested. Mr. Clark sent ss. to Mr. R. H. Twining. A promissory note was forwarded to Mr. Clark, who signed it, and sent back with it to Lon . don a post-office order for 305., made payable as suggested to Samuel Gilbert, at the Strand money.order office. The prisoner Smith presented the order, called himself Samuel Gilbert. and rewired the money. He was immediately ' arrested by Brian, who well in attendance for that purview Mr. William Grove, clerk at the money-order office, Sawed, produoed the poet-office order for 11. 10e., made out is favour of Samuel Gilbert by John Brown, and said the prisoner Smith presented another order for 3/. 10a., signed by Mr. J. L. Walters, of Port Nevin, near Elston, Corn wall, in favour of B. H. Twining. In consequence of infor mation be refused to pay the money upon that order. ' Brides and Venables gave evidence of the operations of the gang, whom they closely watched for a month, and saw from 50 to 100 letters delivered daily at No. 23, Richard. sties& They were received b) Bags. The woman Town send generally called for them. Sometimes Day and Paul called at the tenement in Richard-street. • Mr. Dickie asked liridon if. a man to whom the woman Townsend handed a packet of letters ore morning near the Bricklayers' Arms, Old Kent-road, was not the notorious Dr. Waters, of the celebrated ear infirmary. Bridoo said be was in search of another of the gang, the principal, be believed, in the nefarious luau swindle, and it might defeat the ends of justice if he was to mention his name. ' Mr. Dickie— Will you say it was not Dr. Waters Brides—l woo'' say it was or was not. I Mr. Dick's was instructed to y say that Dr. Waters, wls• swindled people some time ago by pretending to curs dis eases of the ear, was the person to whom Mrs. Townsend delivered the letters which she received from Mrs. Bags in Richard-street. He then argued that there was no ease against his client', Paul and Day. Mr. Charles Young eddreased the magistrates in favour of Smith, and contended that there was no legal evidence to affect his client. Mr. Woolrych recapitulated the evidence, and said there was corroborative evidence, and accumulative proof which brought all the prisoners in oonnexion with eachother. There ._~~ ESCAPE PROM A LUNATIC ASYLUM AND SUICIDE OP THE LUNATIC. Mr. H. Raffles Wa'thew, deputy coroner for East Middlesex, held an inquest yesterday at the Grove-hall Asylum, Bow, respecting the death of Mr. Benjamin Ward, aged 40, a lunatic gentleman, who, having made his from that asylum and been recaptured, committed .:1:1`K According to the evidence of John Hill, au attendant, deceased had been an inmate of the gentlemen's ward for some time. He spoke quite rationally. On Thursday evening last he made his escape from the drawing-room by squeezing himself through anarrowventdatingaperture in the window. He dropped down into the garden, and then went over the lofty wall which surrounded the building. He got clear off, though be was at once mimed and an alarm relied. Next morning he was observed by a barber who was employed in the asylum passing along the Mile-end-road, and the barber, 1 knowing him, spoke to him, apparently dimes:martins him a good deal, and then entered into conversation with him, and brought him back to the asylum. He was given in charge to witness, who amused him the best way he could, and for that purpose took him into the garden. He there said that after be had escaped over the wall ho deter mined to throw his pursuers out of their reckoning by walk ing to Woodford, which was about seven miles in the oppositedirection to London, and thus avoid the road they I would be almost sure to suppose he bad taken. When be got to Woodford he took lodgings, where he spent the sight. The next morning, however, be considered that if be could get into London be should be more likely to escape notice, and he accordingly set out early to enter it unobserved. and he should have succeeded perfectly only for the DOD . dent of Gilbert, the barber, spying him from his shop as he I was passing one morning. He said that he had set his heart on accomplishing his escape. Shortly after this waver- ration witnem turned his hack for a moment, sod directly afterwards missed the deceased. Supposing be had again tried to escape, witness had the ground. searched, but with out avaiL Upon the house being searched, however, he was found hanging to the congas of his bedstead by a new rope which be must have bought while in Woodford. The body was warm, but life was quite extinct, arid all remedies proved without avid. Dr. Aloozo Stocker, medical superintendent of the asylum, said that deceased had been led to make his escape by a vision which told him that has wife was dead. The Coroner remarked that it ought to be rendered im possible fur any lunatic to commit suicide in an asylum. Dr. Stocker said that if precautions of en extreme kind were earned out the place would partake of such a prison like aspect that the curative treatment of the palisade would become impossible. There were 100 or 20 patients in the establishment who had been admitted as suicidal, but the cheerful, urrestmioing system had such an influence OD them that the present was only the mood instauce of sui cide that had been accomplished. The jury returned • verdict of "Suicide while of un sound mind." THE Priraorzum Que&now.—The inhabitants of Birkenhead and Claughton are moving actively by petition to prevent petroleum works beim established near the Great Float at Birkenhead, sad a public meeting on the subject is to be held in a few days. An application has been made to the count► magistrates to store and manufac- ture petroleum at Bootle village, now Liverpool, and the whole question has been fully discussed pro and con. Wore the beach. The manufacture sad storage of petroleum were objected to by the assistaat overseer and inspector of nuisances, who appeared in the interest of the inhabitants, on the ground of the objectionable smell and dangerous nature of the oil ; but on the other band, it was contended for the manufacturers that the petroleum in its crude state would only be upon the premise* for about four hours every day, and that if it was stored in barrels deposited in tanks or pita slightly below the level of the ground there could be no real danger. The majority of the magistrates were in favour of granting the application, though they re quired a week's delay. BEDFORDSHIRE PLOUGHING IAtRITING.—Lett Fri day the ploughmen of Mews.

Tho quarterly meetings of the ironmaatera of South Staffordshire and East Worcesterabiro commenced at Wolverhampton yesterday. The attendance was smaller than ward, and the treauactions were oe a very limited scale. The tone of the assembly was, however, such as to leave no doubt that a more cheerful feeling prevailed than there has bees for eighteen months at least. A good deal of iron has bees sold sums the preliminary meeting a fortnight ago ; th e leading firms are moat of them tolerably full of order., whilst the circumstance of the wood-clan makers having brought up their prime to a point Dearer to those fixed by the easocuition has ins pa rted a healthier aspect to the trade. It was reported at yesterday's meeting that there is au increasing demand for finished iron on the part of home con sumer*. The exporting houses are eel acing more disposition to do business ; there have been some good orders in the district of late on account of France; and the iron bought for America has been increasing ; et this moment th ere i s i fully an avenge trade doing for that quarter. The general opinion yesterday was that the prospects of the trade are briahtening. Pig-iron is in pretty good demand; it would Dot be very easy to quote prices, but it is quite ea. taro that pigs sold at a low price three mouths ago were fully half-a-crown dower at this meeting ; stea l of that article have also in the meantime diminished. The attendance yesterday included the representatives of some of the principal Liverpool exporting houses, as well as those of other diatricts, but the hulk of the business was reserved for the Birmingham meeting. For ironstone raised in the district there is a good demand, and if the trade re. 0111111/ as active as at present, it is most probable that ad ditional furnaces will be pat 10 blast. The business of mer chants' and manufacturers' quarter day peed off satiafac torily, accounts being tolerably well paid, though the quarterly usemblies of this occasion fall on the earliest day pcesible.
