SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. MONDAY. This meeting, the last legitimate gathering of the nein season, appeared to have attracted to Newmarket • large proportion of the sporting fraternity. The special express which left Shoreditch at 1.25 yesterday afternoon was un usually heavy. Os arriving at Cambridge the ten minutes allowed for refreshment was almost a:intuited in a vain es deavoux to obtain • glue of " bitter," so great was the crush. A few horses were mentioned on the platform, but no trans action came under our notice. There appeared to be • screw loose about Trap ; offers of 5 to 1 that he did not start for the Cambridgeshire were freely offered without • taker. A train, containing about twenty bone-boxes, arrived at Newmarket soon alter the special, and was anxiously anticipated by • large crowd of loungers, report stating that Gratitude was in the train, but all who expected to see Mr. itobineon's man were doomed to disappointment, as she did not arrive until to-day. Ackworth came in • van on Saturday, and plowed all who eaw him take • canter. A great number of hone' engaged in the Cambridgeshire were out this morning, most of them going the whole length of the course. Deerfoot galloped in such form that many good jai es consider he has • great outside chance. Ackworth an d Master Richard galloped the course, the former going so strong and well that his friends were in eostaciet Master Richard looked well and went with his usual splendid stride. The next to show was Valiant, who attracted the notice of all by his,tne action; he finished very fresh, and was in splendid condition. Prince Plausible was inspected by • large crowd, and after a alight canter he galloped the course from end to end at full speed. Stockinger, whose position in the market during the last day or two has been puzzling in the extreme, was fol lowed by a concourse of horsemen and foot passengers anxious to detect any fault whereby to amount for his " knock ing out," but no horse could kok or go better ; indeed, so much did he plume all who saw him, that were it not for the unsteady position he then occupied in the market many would have instantly backed him as if the race were over. Co- lumbia was pulled up about • quarter of • mile from the winning poet after galloping at full speed ; her style was moth admired. The great attraction to all was the favou rite, Brick, who came on the heath about half-past eight, followed by Cambium. The two took • gentle canter for half an hour, after which they galloped the course at a great pace, and on rising the hill Brick appeared to almost pull the lad out of the saddle. Opinions vary as to his merits, some maintaining that Brick is too small and too light for a race like the Cambridgeshire ; others, including the New • market people ( who are " on " to • man) treat this assertion with derision, and invariably tell you that Brick cannot lose. The great feature at the Rooms this morning was the rush to get on Columbia, whose galloping on the heath had such au effect that she was bunted at lessening prices from 20 to 1 to 10 to 1. Stockinger came again-I,IM to 40 and 500 to 20 being accepted. The favourites were very firm, 9to 2 being taken about Brick, and at a shade over 5 to 1 Gratitude would have been backed to a large amount. The weather was beautiful, the late rains having laid the dust, which ren dered the beak at the last meeting so very uncomfortable. The air being as warm as summer, it is not surprising that the fair sex should have mustered in such force, both in carriages and on horseback. The attendance was unusually large tor the first day, and betting was carried on with great spirit. Nine events constituted the programme foe the day's racing, inclusive of tour matches; one of these, how ever, fell through, Marquis of Hastings' Attraction receiv ing forfeit from Mr. Jackson's Sedewind. Precisely at 12.15 —the time appointed for the first race—the sport com menced with a match in which Admiral Rous's invincibility as • matchmaker was again exemplified, for Saffron beat Roulette easily by a neck. The Handicap Plate over the Cambridgeshire course, for which "n were handicapped, brought out 13 withers. Merry Wife wee installed favourite at 3 to 1, Breeze being next in demand at 6 to 1. Iphipnia made nearly all the 'yenning until rising the bill, where Sir Joseph Hawley's filly came away, and woo easily by two lengths, Vabalathus being that distance in rear of Iphigenia. The result of this race is by some considered • clue to the mystery surrounding the great event of the weak, the Cambridgeshire, but perhaps never before did the issue have so slight an effect on market operations, as the success or failure of eitber of the starters made not the least difference to the position in the betting of the com petitors for the great race of to-morrow. The principal event on the card was the Criterion, for which race fifteen (the largest field of the day) faced the starter, the princi pal public performers being Koenig, Auden, and Clash:thou:, all of whom carried extra weight for previous successes. Lord Westmoreland's Brahma was made favourite at 2 to 1, Unseat in demand being Count de Lagrange's Le Man dens and Gladiateur, who were backed at 3 to 1 coupled, whist 10 to 1 was easily obtainable about Chatta nooga. A delay at the starting post was one simnel by the fractiousness of Kate Hampton, who at the start was • long way behind. After running together for some distance, Chattanooga and Brahma came away, Mr. Naylor's eolt winning easily by two lengths, the favourite being two lengths in front o f Monitor, who was third. The winner was not backed by the stable, having been beaten is hie trial, but 25 to 1 was freely taken about him for the Derby immediately after the rue. Lady Flo rence, with 6 to 4 betted on her, defeated sister to Knave of Trumps, after • good race, by a neck. The match between General Peel and Paris, in which the General conceded 7lbe. to Mr. Tea Broeck's horse, did not produce any heavy bet ting, 5 to 2 being freely laid on Lord Glasgow's horse who won in &cuter by eight lengths. The three concluding events were woo by the fi rst favourite in each ; and, as will be seen by theclosing prices after the races, Stockinger be came • hot favourite for the Cambridgeshire ' whilst Brick retrograded to 11 to 9. Colombia was backed for 2001. at 19 to 1 on the heath, and opposite the rooms that price was accepted to money before dinner. The following an details of the sport': Mane, both 2-yr-olds.

At West Earns, the Biel water threatened to inundate the lower portion of the village, and a number of the houses were overflowed. The garden surrounding the farmhouse was oompletely under the weber, which flowed right through it, and rushed down the divots in a threatening stream. All along the coast the sea rose to a tremendous height, and es far as the eye could penetrate through the mist and spray it seemed but one wild mess of raging foam. Yes terday the storm continued with unabated violence ; and such was the fares of the wind that the white foam of the sea was blown like snow-flakes, thick and hat, for fully half-a-mile inland. About Rix o'clock yesterday morning a foreign ves sel was observed at Linkheade, near Thorntadoch, in a ray critical position. Intelligence was conveyed to the Coast-guard here, who, under the management of Mr. Morgan, chief boatman, hurried to the spot with all the necessary apparatus. Unfortunately, however, they arrived too late, the ship having broken up about twenty minutes previous to their arrival, and only one man was saved out of five of a crew. The vessel was a Danish one, bound for Leith with a cargo of wheat ; and it broke up completely a abort time after striking. With re foresee to the lose of the crew of this vessel, the preventive fors complain that so much time was lost in sending the to the station here. It was conveyed by • man on foot, distance being upwards of six miles, whereas had a base bees got, and the men and apparatus been half-an-hour sooner, the crew would, in all probability, have been saved. No sooner had the Coast-guard returned from Thorutouloch, than they were summoned to the assistance of soother vessel which had stranded on Tyne sands. Lieutenant Hamilton and the whole force were speedily on the way to the scope of the disaster, but they had only got about half - way when they were informed that their services would not be required, the crew having all got safely landed in their own boat. The stranded ves sel was bound from Arbroath to London. So severe was the weather that the Sacrament, which should have been dispersed in the Established church yesterday, was post poned for a fortnight. Oa Saturday, a severe gale from the east-north-east was experienced at Greenock, and considerable damage was done to the shipping. (From the Newcastle Chronicle.) Shortly after five o'clock last night a moat exciting seem occurred at Tymmouth. About that time a 'chooser, the John Slater, of Barrow, from Hamburg, in ballast, wan taking the harbour, when t he wind fall off, and there was some difficulty with a ship which was before her which had broken bar towrope. The consequence was that the John Slater drifted on to the edge of rocks under the Spanish Battery, sod grounded. The North and South Wok's lifeboats were pulled down, and after some delay the Tynernonth lifeboat was got out of the haven. But from the position of the vowel, well up on the rock., nose of these boats could approach her to take off the crew. The apparatus for rescuing life was brought down to the rock' by the mast guard, and two lines were fired over the vessel, but for some muse or other the crew were unable to use them. In this dilemma, a most gallant act was per formed by Edward Fry, his son William, his nephew James, William Fe n. and Edward Tavassor. With 'insistence they carried • small boat, the California, which drew less water than the lifeboats, from Prior's Haven to the Spanish Battery rocks, and launched her; and then with stout hearts the same brave fellows manned her. and pulled her out to the vesseL They succeeded in taking off five of the crew and • little boy seven years of age, the son of the meter. Having landed them, they went off again, but the master, Mr. Wilson, and the mate refused to come Wave. Afterwards, as the sea began to make, the three Fry. again pulled off to the ship and induced the master and mate to get into their boat ; but when they got them they could not land them on the rocks, to such an extent bad the sea risen, and they were obliged to pull them to the Low Lights. The mew of the vessel and the little boy were well taken care of at the Bath Hotel, and as soon as the master and mate were laded, they were taken to Mrs. McCulloch's, Low Lights, where they were well provided for. Samna, half-past 10 p.m.—The night is very coarse, and wind and sea are heavy again. The Bay of Hartlepool was visited by a severe gale on Friday night, which continued with unabated violence during the greater portion of Saturday. The wind was from the ESE., end was accompanied by pelting showers of rain. The sea, lashed by the fury of the gale, rose to • peat height, and the frail craft that were making for the harbour were tossed about like so many corks by the boisterous waves. From early morn on Saturday the sheltered parts of the cliffs were thronged with people watching with eagerness the hazardous progress of the vessels as they made for the port, and the sea as it dashed with irresistible force against the piers, rising in immense volumes in the air, presented • sight terrifically grand. There was • large fleet, consisting principally of light ships, in the offing, making for this port, and as there was every apparent danger of some casualty befalling some of them, the lifeboats were got in readiness. About seven o'clock, after • low light ships had taken the harbour safely, the brig Dement, Capt. Storm, of Whitby, coal laden, which wee putting in for shelter, struck heavily oie the bar, but as the tide was flowing, she warn eventually carried in without much damage. It was feared she would have struck oa the bar and somewhat blockaded the entrance, and had she dope so, several other vessels which were following close behind would probably have come to grief on 31Iiildleton Sands. As it was, the succeeding vessels all got io safely. About 10 o'clock the atmosphere was very thick, with the' rain coming down in torrents, and two vessels were observed making for the Tees. Some of the nautical men on the Hough who were watching the course they were taking, were inclined to believe the easels would be unable to make for the Tees, and would either go chore on the south of Seaton or on the Longscar Rocks. Their opinions were taken for granted; and in • very short time it was currently reported that two ships were ashore on the Longscar, and crowds of people flocked from their houses, and were gathered on the cliffs, vainly gazing through the vest driving gale, to catch • glimpse of the stranded vessels. As the atmosphere cleared up it was discovered that the vessels had managed to make • safe entry into the Tees. About this time the Pale was considered at its height, and vessels were coming Into port in quick succession, many of them having bean subjected to a severe washing by the mighty waves, and sails, bulwarks, Ac., had given way to the force of the gels. Beyond these severe casualties no Image was received by their entry into the port. The crews of the lifeboats had • very tedious day of it waiting is the midst of the rain to reader their valuable services, end "off to the rescue" of their fellow-creatures at • moment's notice, but it is matter for congratulation that their aid was not required. In the town the damage done by the gale was very limited, but some meths had • narrow escape. A steel of chimneys on • house opposite the Gas Works came down, end for some time • quantity of tiles and bricks was overhanging the footway in • threatening manner, and from the height of the building and the force of the gale it was dangerous for any one to attempt to ascend to avert the danger. A num. bet of large squares of glass in the Temperance Hall were blown out, and other minor breakage' of glass and dis mantling of houses occurred io different parts of the town, happily, however, without any personal injury. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. Today it was currently rumoured, but upon what grounds our correspondent could not ascertain, that a large pueenger ship had been lost in her pastime down the channel. In the absence, therefore, of any corroboration of the report, we feel bound to consider the matter as a man rumour, founded ne doubt upon the amount of damage sustained by the coasting shipping in the late N.E. gale and its probable effects upon the larger tonnage ship ping then in the channel. A despatch f.om Greenock re• mired here to-day says that on Saturday night • large coasting schooner, name at present un known, sunk off the West Harbour, and it was generally believed that all hands perished. A seoood de spatch, dated Londonderry, today (Monday), states that the Lotus, • large ship belonging to Belfast, and laden with a cargo of timber, has been driven ashore in Mulray Bay, bottom up. It is supposed that this is the same ship which was seen a few days since drifting about in the Sound of ListrabuL When first seen in the Sound the reseal was a wreck, and there was no cue to be seen on board. The crew could not possibly have reached the shore owing to the tremendous sea which was running, and it is feared that all on board have perished. A third despatch, dated Belfast, 24th, lays : The schooner Cruiser, belonging to Port St. Mary, has been sunk off the Bnoy of Bugs, in this Lough, and all hands have perished. A boat belonging to the schooner has been washed ashore. The Hope, of Liverpool, ladea with pig -iron, and bound from Ardroman to Morecambe, was driven from liar anchors yesterday morning, and coming into collision with another schooner, whose name could not be ascertained, was cut down to the water's edge, and seek in two fathoms.. The damage to the other vessel is not known, but fortunately the crew of the Hope escaped." THE FORTHCOMING MICHAELMAS TEEM. --Yoder day, on the opening of the common law offices at the ter mination of the long vacation, the lists of arrears for the forthcoming Michaelmas Term, commencing on the led proximo, were exhibited. In the three courts the arrant only number 83, consistinr of 48 in the Queen's Beech, 20 in the Common Pleas, and 15 in the Exchequer. Formerly the new trial paper in each court presented a formidable appearance, and some twelve or eighteen months elapsed before an application for a new trial was disposed of, either in argument or decision. On the present occasion, however, there are only 18 rules in the three courts pending for new trials. it appear that in the Queen's Bench there are 33 rules in the special paper, 7 enlarged rules and 8 new trial rules. In the Common Pleas there are 2 enlarged rules, 7 for new trials, 2 postponed motions, 1 matter for decision, and 8 demurrers, already entered ; while in the Exchequer there are 5 errors and appeals, 3 rifles in the peremptory paper, 4 in the special paper, and 3 hi the new trial list, one of which stands for judgment. The lista will probably be greatly increased before the end of the term by applications for sew trials arising out of the summer circuits. There are several retration appeal. to be heard next term in the Court of Common Pleas. There We 124 new candidata to be admitted as attorneys, and about 20 re•admissioes, last year the revenue from attorneys amounted to 88,6751.

J CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Charles Brown, 15, a cunning-looking lad, was charged with feloniously forging and uttering • cheque for 3501., with intent to defraud the City Bask. Mr. Sleigh sod Mr. °Ward conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Beakers ABIOCIiMa011; the prisoner was de. fended by Mr. Metcalfe. This cuss wen one of • rather peculiar character. It will be remembered that at the last session, a lad named James Frederick Harding who was clerk to a mercantile fi rm in Mincieg-lane, pleaded gnilty to • charge of being concerned in the same forgery,. and was thereupon sen tenced to be kept in penal servitude for five years. From the opening statement of Mr. Sleigh, it appeared that the convict Harding and the prisoner had been school-fellows, and after leaving school motioned their intimacy and companionship, Harding being in the service as junior clerk of Messrs. Watts and Co., metal brokers, carrying on business in Great St. Helens, City, and the prisoner being in the service as clerk of Means. lemon and Herman, general merchants, in Mincing-lane. They were in the habit of meeting every night at the Effioglum Saloon, Whitechapel, and at an ice shop in that neighbourhood, and it would seem from the evidence of the convict Harding, who would be called, that the prisoner proposed to him that he should abstract some blank cheques from his employer's cheque book, that they should perpetrate a forgery, and when they obtained the money they should both go abroad together. In furtherance of this design Harding purloined six blank cheques, and • lithographed circular bearing the signature of Alexander Watt., and with this facsimile of Mr. Watts' handwnting they used to meet at the ice shop, and in an upstairs room there were in the habit of practising to imi tate Mr. Watts' signature. After various failures they sac. needed in producing the cheque in question for 3501. which purported to be drawn by Mr. Waite in favour of harks Harding. On the 10th June the cheque ins sent by them to the City Bank by • commissionaire, and there presented for payment. The cuhier, Mr. John Bing, to whom it was presented, observed that the cheque was not endorsed, and returning it to the commissioniers, directed him to take it to Mr. Walla. This was done, and it was at once pronounced by Mr. Watts to be • forgery, and in consequence of information acquired by inquiries made the lad Harding was taken into custody, and guilty as already stated. Since his conviction be has given such information to Mr. Mullein, the solicitor for the pro secution, as to lead to the apprehension of the present prisoner, who made such statement. to Mr. Watts and to detective officer Mark 801 l as to show that he was perfectly cognisant of the whole transaction. In his desk at the office of his employers there had been found • blotting pad bearing the signatures, or impressions of the signatures, of Mr. Watts and several other firms. Formal evidence of the forgery having been given, the I convict Harding was brought up in custody of two warders from the Model Frisco, and having been sworn, detailed the circumstances &gut forth in the opening statement of the learned couples!. He attributed the whole affair to the con coction of the prisoner Brown, and persisted in that state ment despite a searching cross-examination by Mr. Metcalfe, who elicited from the witness that he had purloined the blank cheques from the cheque-book, which had been left exposed in the safe on one mansion, and on another had been left by Mr. Watts on his desk, on being suddenly called away from his office ea business. Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, contending that no reliance could be placed on the testimon► of Harding, who by thus attempting to implicate the prisoner in this charge sought to obtain for himself a remission of the sentence under which he was now labour ing. On the whole be contended that the uncorroborated evidence of en accomplice could not be relied upon, and on that ground he submitted that the prisoner was entitled to so acquittal. Several witnesses were called, and gave the prisoner a good character up to the present occurrence. The Recorder summed up the evidence with his usual care and minuteness. The jury, after a brief consultation in their box, on turning round, were asked in the usual form if they had agreed upon their verdict, in reply to which, The foreman said—l am desired by my brother jurors to state that we find the prisoner Guilty of uttering the cheque knowing it to have been forged, but we beg to recommend him to the mercy of the court ; first, on aooount of his youth ; secondly, on account of the temptation to vice to which the rising generation was exposed by the licensing such places u the Effingham Saloon ; and thirdly, on the ground of the temptation held out to such a youth as the prieoner, by the careless manner in which the chequirbook bad been left exposed. The Recorder deferred sentence. (Before the Common Serjeant.) Robert Wils,m, 34, printer, was indicted for unlawfully having in his possession a large quantity of counterfeit coin, well knowing the same to be stolen. Mr. Craufard, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Poland prosecu ted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Orridge. It emulated from the evidence of the offloere Brennan and Elliot, that from information they had received they west, with Inspector Fife and Mr. (ex-Inspector) Brennan, to the Champion, in Foesx-street, Horton, where they appre hended the prtsoner, when he dropped a oontruning sixty - nice bad shillinge, twenty-nine bad florin., and fifty bad crowns. He was very violent, and offered great realm. tanoe to his capture. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and having been pre viously convicted, he was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. _ _ _ The remaiuder of the day was *wapiti(' by the court in trying Mint cases, which were all of the ordinary character. The public will remember that at the July session of this court a Frenchman named Smile Werner was convicted of conspiring wall two other fcceignen to obtain silk of the value of 30.000/. from a French firm. The defeoce that was set up for Weroer was that he had been the dupe of the other prisoners, and from inquiries that have since been made at the instance of Mr. Wouther, his attorney, the re sult of which was made known to the Home-office, Sir G. Grey has granted the prisoeer Werner a free pardon. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOUBL Joseph Maylank,JohnPe;kis;:irillisun Weedkons, sad Richard 4ston were brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having, on the 'ooth ultimo, deserted from the ship Arno, one of the General Steam Navigation Com pany's ships, at Newport. The prisoners, it appeared, signed articles to serve as seamen in the ship Arno for a voyage of six months' dart Lion, and had sailed to and from Hamburg. According I. the articles the captain could discharge them at twenty. four hours' notice, and it appeared that when at Newport, where they stopped on the 29th alt., Captain Ellis discharged one of the men, and the prisoners being indignant, and thinking they could give as well is receive twenty.four hours' notice, gave the captain notice that they would leave, and on the 30th they deserted the vessel The ship now lies in the London Docks, and yesterday the prisoners were men there by Captain Ellis, and he told them to meet him at the Shippuipodice, when; be gave them into custody. The prisoners, in defence, said they had been abused by the caktain;hut . . . Thelord . Mayor said it was an dream against the statute, and one for which they were liable to a severe punishment. He, however, should psis a Umlaut sentence on them, and sentenced them to three weeks• imprisonment, for which they thanked his lordship. GUILDHALL. lfr. Henry Coiling, one of ii2o managers of the Penny Parcels Delivery Company, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Salomon, at the instance of Mr. Michael Bum. sell for ills fully detaining twenty five watches, value 25/. Mr. Lewis. juo. ' appeared for Mr. Bunnell, and Mr. Bradlaugh for the defendant. Mr. fowls said themes was a matter of morns public im portanoe, as the company calling itself the Penny Parcels Delivery Company had started in opposition to a reepect- Ode and established company, and great mischief was created by the new company accepting paroela from the public which they failed to deliver. Mr. Alderman Salomon, said the question was for illegal didentices ; he had nothing to do with opposition companies. Mr. Lewis—Well, sir, my client entrusted the watches in question to this company for delivery ; they acknowledge haying received them, lied made as an excuse for their coo delivery that the parcel bad come undone, and was placed in their strong box for safety, and that their secretary, who was out of town, kept the key. This was five weeks ago, and my client has been put off from time to time with pro mise that they would be returned. Five days back Col• liege wrote to me, stating that be would return the watches that aftersooa, but nothing has since been seen of them, sad we have every reason to believe they bare been pawned. Mr. Bredlaugh—You have no right to make such a state ment as that, Mr. Lewis. My client is quite willing to con sent to an immedi►te order, asd even to set aside some valid technical objections to this summons which I might have raised. The watches have been stolen, and hence the diffi• cnity conoernieg their return. Mr. Lewis—This is the first I have heard of the watches haying been stolen, and is not in accordance with the state meat made In defeadant's letter to me ; but as Mr. Brad laugh on the part of his client oonsente to an order, I have now only to ask for costs, and I think, sir, that you will agree with me that this is a casein which they ought to be allowed. Mr. Martin (chief clerk)—lt is not usual to allow solici tor's costa except in extraordinary cases. Mr. Alderman Salomon, —I shall, of course, make the order for the delivery of the watches, sod allow Mr. Lewis the solicitor's costs in addition to the ordinary costs of the court. white nearly stunned him. and on laying hold of him he offered him a sovereign to let him go. He told him be aboold not do so for fifty sovereigns, upon which he became most violent, and he bad the greatest difficulty in keeping him until a constable came. There was a second charge against Whir* that of to rescue Anderson. Police-oonstabls 242 de to ring been assaulted by Anderson. The prisoners pleaded drunkenness, and Anderson Ina convicted in a penalty of 30e, or thirty days, and Whiaain in 10e, or ten days. SOUTHWARK. Michael Gibson , an impudent Looking lad, &boat 16 years of no, was brought before Mr. Burnham charged with insulting •respectable young toms* who ti name is un known, in the Westminster-rood. _.._.. . _ . . . Polic:e-conetable 126 L said that abort 8 o'clock on Sun day evening be wan on duty in the Westminster-road, when he heard 101118 females calling out, and looking to wards Antlers Theatre saw several lads pushing among the female paseengers. He ran to the spot, and saw the prisoner go up to a respectable young woman who had some flowers in her hand, and he made some remark to her, which seemed to annoy her. Witness told the prisoner to go home and not annoy the female*, or he should be compelled to leak him up. The prisoner went away, but a few minutia after that he saw him rush up to the same female and seize her roughly round the want. He then went up and took him into custody. Mr. Burcham asked if the female was in attendance _ ft;. ro;stable replied in the negative. She WM too mach frightened to go to the station-home. Mr. Burnham naked if the prisoner acted indecently towards her — TheTmoisisble answered that he did not see anything of that kind, but be certainly seised hold of the young woman very roughly. The conduct of boys like the prisoner had become so outrageous towards females on Sunday night is the Westminster-road that extra constables were placed on duty to protect them. He, however, had never Been the prisoner there before, Mr. Burcham asked the poisoner what he bad to say in answer to the charge! Prisoner declared he never did anything of the kind be fore, sod he should not have touched the female had he not been pushed against her by other lads... The mollies of the prisone r, a respectable hard-working worms, mid her son was morally a well-conducted boy, and had been to church before this happened. Mr. Bonham observed that if the female had come for ward he should have punished him severely, es such young ruffians could not be allowed to insult young females in that disgraceful manner. He discharged the prisoner co the present occasion, but if he came again he should punish him with severity. THAMES. Sarah Leda'', aged 40, • strange looking woman, with her head coveted with • coarse handkerchief, and Sarah Lehab, her daughter, 15, were charged with stealing 121., the moneys of E. B rown. The prisoners are natives of Jerusalem, and the elder one ryaaks the German language. The girl can speak both English and German. The prosecutor ion foreign Jew, and itinerant glazier, and very frugal. The prisoners, whom be had known some time, were in distress. He kept them a fortnight in his house, and fed them. On Sunday last he was asleep in one room, and the priaoriers, a Jew named Marks, and his daughter, were in another room. Mrs. Brown had gone out on an errand. The prisoners and Marks persuaded Brown's daughter to go out and boy some apples. While she was away • drawer wee opened and 124, all the prosecutor's bard saving, were abstracted. When the old Jew discovered his lam he accused the prisoners of ingratitude and with robbing him of his money. Sarah Lehab said, " I know nothing.

(From the Scotsman.) The storm which during the latter days of last week blew with such terrific violence along the shores of the north of Scotland vedted Edinburgh and its neighbour hood on Saturday afternoon, and caused great destruction to property of ovary description. During the whole of Saturday heavy run fell without intermission, accompanied by violent gusts of wind. Towards evening the wind freshened into • gale, and the rain swept over the city in torrents. Many of the streets were flooded in conse quence of the gratings of the sewers becoming choked with rubbish, aed considerable damage was in some instances caused by the water flowing into cellars and underground places where property was stored. Between six and seven o'clock the gale increased to • hurricane, which raged with the greatest violence and with disastrous results till as advanced hour yesterday morning. On Saturday evening, as the tide roes, the wind in creased, exposing the shipping in the Roads to in creased danger. Many feared the night would prove a disastrous on., for before darkness set in six or eight yawl were drifting towards Grantee and Wardle. When the day dawned on Sunday morning the apprehensions entertained were fearfully realised. A small schooner, the Dorothea, of Hanover, was lying ashore at the East Breakwater of Grantor' far. The crew escaped with their lives, but were unable to save anything at the time. Throughout the day, when the tide receded, she was high and dry, and the master and crew, taking advantage of this, carried away their clothes and such stores as they could secure. She was io ballast. As she was lying on the rocks fears were entertained that the retuning tide would break her into pieces. Not fifty yards from where the Dorothea lay a large brig—the Eliza Hall, of Whitby, timber laden— was wrecked on the breakwater on Sunday morning. The muter and crew were in great danger of perishing, as the era was washing over the ship in • manner that brought dread into the stoutest hearts. The master and crew the cutter of the Princess Royal were soon present with Manby's apparatus, and succeeded in taking the sailors of the Eliza Hall s afely ashore. The vessel was broken to pieces ; and timber was floating about in the afternoon. To the west aide of Grantor' pier three small ships, three lighters, and three buts went ashore, though they had been riding or moored within the apace protected by the west breakwater of the harbour. They are not likely, however, to suffer severely. At the outer aide of the seat breakwater of Granton pier the schooner Victoria, of Middleforth, Den mark, in ballast, was driven ashore co Saturday night. As soon as she struck the master and crew endeavoured to leap on the breakwater to says their lives. All succeeded except one sailor, who fell as soon as he had lighted on the slope of the breakwater, and before he could regain his footing • heavy wave tame and washed him away. His body has not been recovered. It is hoped the vessel will be gut off. Two or three hundred yards further west lies a large foreign brigs driven ashore d the n . ht. Her masts are gone, her bottom is seriously amaged, and it is almost certain she will become a total wreck. She was in ballast The crew escaped. Still farther week near Grunion quarry, another large foreign brig is ashore on the rocks. One of her ousts is goo', and from the dangerous position she was in it is almost certain the will not hold long together. She was coal laden. The crew got safely ashore. We have not been able to ascertain the name of the two last vessels. The tackling and seamen's clothing of all the wrecked vassals, with the exception of the lest, will be partially, if not wholly secured. Men, horses, and carte were segued yesterday afternoon driving away such thin g s as could be landed. Out from Granton there were four ships riding in apparent safety, their anchors having caught hold of the electric telegraph cable across the Firth, which prevented them drifting further toward shore. But for the circumstance of their anchors holding on by the cable, two, if not the whole four vessels, would have drifted on the rocks west of Granton pier. New of the English or foreign going steamers have sailed from Leith since Friday. A telegram was received in Leith on Saturday that the Cronstadt, of Leith, on her from Russia, had been compelled to put into aside after being out in a gale, in which she had lost her lest mate. No small anxiety is felt for other ships known to be out at sea. Yesterday evening there were about twenty vessels in the roads; but as they were all far from Dud, except the four vessels whose anchors were attached to the electric telegraph cable, it was hoped that they would weather the gale. It is many yeses since such a severe storm has raged in the Firth. Dame Friday night or Saturday • foreign brig went ashore near Fisherrow. When the tide went beck, the crew were enabled to come to land in safety. The vessel having been exposed to the full force of the storm yesterday, became • total wreck. _ _ At daybreak on Sunday, the appearance of the Firth was sufficient to overawe the stoniest-hearted sailor, but, not withetandlog, about fifty puseugers, • large proportion of whom were in the greatest anxiety to meet relations who bad been left at Burotialend on the previous evening, were determined to feu the raging elements, and went on board the Express, the experience of the captain of which no doubt strengthened their belief regarding their safety. Before the starting of the vessel from Granton, a number of the passenger, became terra-stricken when they beheld the waves bunting against the breakwater and dashing in ataractic foam across the bulwarks. The most dangerous part of the journey was the getting out of the harbour, but by the skilful seamanship of the captain this was most successfully accomplished The vessel was then steered towards lochkeith, in face of a bead wind, daring which time it was tossed so violently that most of the pas sengers became perfectly helpless from sickness, and those who had the good fortune to bier* the tempest were in great doubts as to the safe arrival of the Express on the Fife coast. After passing Incekeith it was necessary to steer against a cross current for Borritisleod harbour, and the rocking and tossing of the yawl then became so violent that the whole of those on board, ex. casting the captain, who good manfully on the ' bridge, wen compelled either to take shelter in the saloon, or stand on the lee side of the cabin. Fortunately, after an hour and a half's seal the Express was moored safely alongside of Burntisltiod harbour, where • number of people had been congregated for • coosiderable time watching her perilous trip. Although the wind raged with peat violence daring the day, it was not will tient to stop the afternoon ferry traffic, nor to cause so great consteination among the misusers ea it did among those who, at great hazard, crossed from Grantors with the morn ing boat. As • rumour was spread in town yesterday evening that a Newhaven Sahing-boat had gone down, with six men on board, we are glad to state, from inquiries made in Newhaven at a late hour last night, that there is no foundation for such a rumour. On Sunday night another rumour was current in several quarters in town, that the Wick, Aberdeen, and Grantee steamer, the Vanguard, which was to sail from Lerwick on Friday morning, he at been lost. The steamer was due at Creston on Satur day, sad had not arrived at • late hour last night; but the result of the inquiries we made yesterday inclines na tobelieve that beyond the delay—which may have bees caused by the vessel putties into some port on the coast, • not infrequent occurrence on this passage in stormy weather —there is no foundation for the report. Therein and wird continued throughout the whole of Sunday with great vio- lence, but about ten o'clock last right &change for the better took place. The wind fell, the rein ceased, and there was every token of more propitious weather. Oar Dauber cor respondent writes :—" On Friday night the temperature fell tepidly, sad the wind begs. to blow from the eastward with great violeoca The storm continuedto rage throughout the whole of Saturday with • fury seldom experienced even on this coast, where severe storms are by so means rare.

John Pearsoe, a porter at the Pease Station, said that on Saturday night the prisoners and a third persoo, who effected his escape. arrived by the train from Croydon, and refused to give up their tickets, and while eogaged in taking the tickets of the other passeogere one of them effected his 0110114111 y sad the prisoners at the same time laid hold of him and threw him down stairs.

The authorities in Staffordshire and Worcestershire are acting in mime, and on Saturday the Dudley magistrates met and instru cted the Chief Constable of Worcestershire to taus a notios declaring all assemblies to the early mars ing and processions Milt to pits at the time men are going to or are Marines from their work to be illegal, and warning all persons offending in this respect that the police have authority to arrest them. A great mass and indignation meeting was held at Tipton yesterday, for the purpose of p rotesting against such inter. faience with the men on strike. Soon after nine o'clock small companies of men, many of them with their wives with babes in their arms, and their children, began to dock towards Tipton from all directions, and by two o'clock, the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting, there wee* upwards of 15,000 present. The whole of the ironed known as Trautees-ground was literally packed with hu man beings. Many thousands of those present were noteitber colliers or miner., but puddles, and others who had come either as sympathisers or lookers 00. The meeting was the largest that has been held since the strike began, and was considered by the men on strikes very important one. The meeting was not only addressed by oolliers,bat by peddlers and other workmen of the district. Every speaker severely cen sured the conduct of the police in stopping their " bends" from playing along the highway when near any pits. They also charged the police with haring put out the lamps in the morning, for what purpose we cannot say. This was the first time we have heard of the lamps being pat out. The speakers complained very loudly of the conduct of the po lice on Thursday morning, and gave quite a different version as to the cause of the row—that they were going peaceably 'along when the police, without any warning, knocked in the sides of the drums, and then turned upon the M6O with their cutlasses. The speakers said the various lodges bad come to the determination to defend the nineteen men DOW in custody to the best of their ability, by employing a counsel for their defence at the next examination. At ter passing a vote of censure upon the police of the district for their pest sod present conduct, they again expressed their determination to still stand out until they had their wages. The meeting passed off very quietly considering the rut numbers present. There was a large body of police, as well as two troops of BMWS, in the town daring the time. During the forenoon of yesterday about 5,001.1 people were present at a meeting at Weetbromyrich, at which it was resolved, that subject to the committee, the men who were employed for masters who were willing to give the terms which the men are asking should be allowed to have the men back.

DEATH OF A POOR SHIRT-llMENEL—Yesterday *Berton Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex, held an inquiry at the Oporto Stone, Bloomsbury, touching the death of Caroline Smith, who had resided at 9, Crown street. The deceased obtained a scanty living by making the bodies of shirts, sad though represented as a steady, hardworking woman, she wits sometimes unable to make a shirt in the MUM of a long day's work, the price obtained for each shirt being 4.1.

Mr. Banoister, the surgeon, was called in to see her, and though he lost no time in obeying the summons, she was dead before his arrival. She had suffered, be said, from bed bruises, and death was caused by the cessation of the heart's action, accelerated by want. The bed on which she bad been lying was nothing but • heap of dirty raga It was proved by her neighbours that the donned bad eaten 'nailer for three days. AU the relief she obtained from the parish was baits quarter'. loaf about • week before her death. No medical aid was provided by the parish. A juror remarked that they could not throw blame on any case if the deceased bad had proper medical 'Undersea. To which the coroner replied that death was undoubtedly caused in coosequeoce of the west of proper medical attendance. The jury returned • verdict of "sutural death, accelerated by want of proper attendance."

Tuesday was a threatening day, bet at times sunny, and no rain fell ; barometer still going down, and the "South cone and drum^ were hoisted on all parte of the coast, warning the mariners that a gale was approaching. Wednesday was a fine warm day, with the wind from the south, thermometer 59 deg. and barometer down to 29.10 io., being lower than for • long time past. At night • heavy gale was experienced, which lasted through • good part of Thursday. The various sorts of seed wheat have been more in request this week, farmers wishing to be prepared for an anticipated change in the weather • as it frequently happens that after • severe gale • compl ete alteration takes place, and from the great length of the drought it is fair to suppose that • consider. able fall of rain may now occur. In the south of Ireland since Wednesday • good deal of wet bas fallen, so ranch so as to set the water-mills at work, which had been standing still for a long time past, and we hops this has been the can in many parts of England and Scotland. Friday was • fine day up to 9 p.m., when rain was experienced. On Saturday warping much heavy rain fell, as throughout the day showers were frequent; and more moisture was experienced during this day than for a loo` time past, the wind blowing fresh from the south-east. Barometer still lower—down to 29 inches. This welcome wetting will set the farmers to work, and, weather permitting, next week they will be extrercely busy, and make progress aitisfactorily. They will thus not have an opportunity of thrashing wheat, neither will they have any inclination at present prices, as they will feed with it in preference, to a large extent ; and having prue ' Moo to malt it for their cattle, this may also prevent supplies being brought to market ; so that sooner or later, from one cause or other, prices may be improved. The delivenes of barley will now materially Menem, as the matadors are generally getting into work, picking and culling the bulks over, and selecting as much of fine quality as they can toil ; but in this they are dis appointed as to amount, not much really floe coming for ! ward. A good portion of this grain will have to go for pro vender, and in this respect those who have it to bay will he able to secure what they want at very moderate prices. Other stuffs for feeding have become more moderate in value ; linseed cakes are lower ; maim can be bought very reasonably. and people are providing all sorts of feeding stuff to meet the expected scarcity during the winter mouths ; on that from one source or other the formers will be provided for. —Mark-lane Express.
