PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 7.—The Leopard, paddle frigate, arrived in Plymouth Sound to-night from Hong Kong, April 2 ; last from Madeira, Sept. 1. The Spanish frigate Gerona had captured off Madeira the steamship Tornado, front England, ostensibly for carrying illicit aid • • to the Peruvians, and had sent her to Cadiz. The Gerona was left looking out for the Cyclone, another steamer alleged to be engaged in the same ;tumult as the Tornado. —Renter's Telerram. DISCOVNRY OF FENIAN STORES AND COMBER SIELES AT LTTERPOOL. , —For some time past the attention of the Liverpool pollee has been directed to a suspicious bind of hoist, No. 84, Salishury.street, and a watch having been placed upon it, information was obtained by degrees that it had been used as a place of assembly fur a number of Fenian agitators, the leader of whom was the bead centre arrested about a month ago in Birkenhead. It was ascertained that immediately after this man's arrest the remainder of the conspirators got away to America. A communication received within the last few slays front Dublin induced the police authorities in Liver pool to search the house. They did so, and as it is stated they discovered in the cellar, or some other secret part of the pretnia2s, a quantity of liquid in bottles, a considerable amonnt of revolver cartridge, and three muskets. One of the bottles of liquid was cloned, and a portion of it beiqg accidentally spilled upon the floor ignited. The officers poured • small quantity down the sewer, and this also ignited. The rem tining bottles, the cartridge, and the muskets were removed to the police-station in Dale street. An officer wan then sent with one of the bottles in - search of an analytical chemist, end on the way be spilled a small quantityof the liquid upon hie clothes. The clothes ignited immediately, and the officer was very seriously injured about the arms and breast. Another account states that the house in Salisbury-street was kept by a Mrs. Blackmore, a native of Dublin, and a widow. Two Irish offizers, assisted by detectives Graham and P. Scaife, visited the house on Tuesday, and found in the toroom three tubs containing between 60 and IV bottles. Each of the bottles contained from a pint to three gallons of explosive liquid. The cartridges and revolvers were also found in this room. When ques tioned Mrs. Blackmore said that about Christmas three men, Farrell, Mulleada, and Cox came to lodge at her house. The two first were a joiner and carpenter, and Cox a bricklayer. They were (she said) all members of the Volunteer Irish brigade. In about a month after Farrell introduced a man named Brooks, who re satined at the house for a day or two, and was reported as a dealer in hardware from Sheffield. During his stay a porter brought some hampers at different times containing what was said to be hardware. These were carried up to the top room, locked up, and the key taken by Brooke. Farrell, the landliuly states, left for America lost Tuesday. Brooks has disappeared, but she does not know where to. Cox enlisted some time ago. Before Brooks disappeared he frequently visited the house, and always went to inspect the goods deposited in the top room. Mulleada is supposed to be still somewhere in the town. The arrest of Ilaines, the head centre recently arrested in Birkenhead, and who was frequently seen at or near the house in Salisbury-street, appears to have dis turbed the conspirators. Sinoe June an American gentle man named Leonard has been living in the house, but he left before the police began their search on Thurs day, and has not been seen since. Ho is an elderly stout man with large husky whiskers. In the room occupied by Leonard and Mulleada Mrs. Blackmore found a black leather belt, al military make, marked with the letters U. S. in brass. This has been handed) to the police.

SATURDAY , EVENING, SEPTEMBER -8,- 1866. THE TRAFFIC ON THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY. A public meeting of annual ticket-holders and other pas. ngers using the South Eastern Railway was held yesterday at the Guildhall Coffee-house, convened by printed handbills, " to protest against the delay and in convenieuoe they were suffering from the present confused state of the traffic." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. SECOND COTTRT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Alfred Croft, aged 18, described as a stable-boy, and John Williams, described in the calendar as 17 years of age, but whose real age was 15, were placed at the bar, in dicted for attempting burglarioualy to break and enter the dwelling-houses of William Henry Harwick and Samuel Cleak, watchmakers, jewellers, &c., and for being found by night having in their possession, withoutlawful excuse, an implement of housebreaking called a " jemmy." The two prisoners were sharp, intelligent boys, with fair hair and regular features During the whole of the ings they treated the matter as a joke, and laugh several times as the evidence was given against them. Police-sergeant Cole, of the C division, proved seeing the prisoners, with two others, lurking about the prosecutors' shops in Soho. He saw them attempt to break open one shop and some one struck a light and frightened them, and they ran away. The sergeant then got into a `cab and followed for some distance, and saw them attempt to break open the door of another jeweller's shop. He told a constable to watch and stop any person who passed at one corner of the street. He went up and put his arms round the prisoners and took them into cue , tody. He found some matches, a chisel, and a " jemmy" upon the prisoners. The prisoners laughed and jeered at the sergeant, and treated the case with great indifference. The Foreman—We find them both Guilty ; and permit me to say that the jury wish to express their horror at the prisoners' h ardihoo Mr. Payne—l will attend to it. What is known of them, Cole? Sergeant Cole—l have known them for a long time. Garnb in the streets is the cause of all this. Williams i. has onlylately fallen into bad company. They belonged to a gang of about a dozen, of which a man named Cle mente, who was tried wit h boys last sessions, was tEe captain, and who was sent to penal servitude. The mother of Williams got into the box and said her son had up to June last borne a good character, but had lately fallen into the company of bad boys. Mr. Payne—What is his age? The mother—Sixteen next birthday. He does not want to go to a reformatory, and that is the reason he said he was seventeen years of age. I would like you to deal with him, my lord, as you think fit. Mr. Payns—As for you, Williams, the sentence is that you be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for eighteen months. _ _ _ . _ . . The prisoner—l would rather have five years' penal ser vitude. - - Mr. Payne—Why would you prefer five years to eighteen months? . . The prisoner made no answer. Mr. Payne—Will you give me a reason why? Well, per haps it will be better for you; the sentence is altered to five years' penal servitude. The prisoner (touching hie hat)—Thank you, my lord, I am much obliged. Mr. Payne—As regards the other prisoner the sen tence upon him is that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month, to be well whipped with a birch rod, and then to be sent to a reformatory for three years. The foreman of the jury said he wished, on behalf of the jury, to express their admiration of Sergeant Cole's conduct. • . . Mr. Payne--Yes, gentlemen, I see that the grand jury have also sent a long presentment to the same effect. I suite agree with you, gentlemen. (After some considera tion) :—Well, all I can do is to add to what I have said before of my knowledge of Sergeant Cole's sagacity and acuteness. _ _ _ _ The prisoner here admitted that he took the dagger, but I no studs. What the lads took to be studs was a small paper of tobacco. Mr. James Stevens, gas enzineer, Southwark-bridge road, said that the bag belonged to his brother, who had just gone back to his business at Glasgow. He generally had large sums of money in the bag, but witness did not think that be had when he lost it more than a few pounds. Witness identified the dagger and whistle. The prisoner said that he did not think there was any harm in taking the dagger and whistle, as the bag was found in the street, but he did not take any money or studs. Mr. Buroham remanded him, and rewarded the lads with 2s. each for their honesty. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE. Mr. THOS. LOVERIDGE, who said he had been the pro moter of the meeting, was voted to the chair, and opened the pruceed:ngs by expressing his pleasure at the presence of Mr. Eborall, the traffic manager, who, he ima gi ned, had come to explain the reason of the delays complained of, and if so, and such explanations were satisfactory, he should have great pleasure in withdrawing the resolutions he bad proposed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. EBoRALL would endeavour to explain the unfortu nate delays that he was sorry to be obliged to admit had occurred in reference to the use of the Cannon-street station, but circumstances which were beyond control hal rendered the service not so regular as he could wish, or as the service of the South Eastern Railway had hitherto been. The company were anxious to give the public every facility in using the new station. It might have been better had they gone by steps in admitting traffic to it, but it was thought that the whole might be accomplished at once. In this they had been mistaken, and he regretted it exceedingly. It was, however, • matter of but a short time, and before the end of the month things would be put into a more regular shape, and he believed there would then not be much cause for complaint. The opening of a stupendous station like that at Cannon-street, which was to accommodate more traffic than any other station in the world, was obviously a matter of great difficulty. Every predaution had been taken, the signalmen, the pointsmen, and the sta ff for working the station had been place d two months ego in order that they might get accustomed to their work, but unfortunately they were not yet quite au fait totheir busineu, especially in the management of the signals, and even now it took sometimes five minutes to alter • signal there, which in the ordinary business of the line, the changing of • signal was accom plished in a second. The great object had been to avoid accidents, and in this he was happy to may they had been successful. Thank God, there had been no accident, although there had been great delays. The company were anxious to get the public into the Cannon-street station with regularity and without delay, and they hoped in a very short time to do so. Of coarse it could not be their wish to disappoint the passengers, who were their best customers, and upon whose support the dividends of the shareholders depended. So far as the directors were con cerned, he wished to say that they were wholly free from blame, the entire responsibility rested upon himself as the executive officer of the company, whose recommendations the board had adopted. The CHAIRMAN, who expressed himself entirely satisfied with Mr. klorall's explanation, referred to the curves on the junction between London-bridge and Cannon-street, which he considered dangerous, and inquired whether any im provement in this was contemplated. Mr. EBORALL replied that the company's engineer was now engaged in seeing that the curves were properly placed, and the rails properly elevated. There was no danger to be apprehended from this source ; and as to the signals, it was obligatory upon the company to con struct them on the most approved system adopted by the Board of Trade. Mr. REEVES complained that the regulations at the Can non-street station endangered the lives of the passengers, and moved • resolution that the Board of Trade be memo rialised. Mr. Lholn supported this, but moved an addition con demnatory of the system upon which the trains were now running, and contended that it was impossible to carry out the traffic arrangements of the September book. It was further complained by other gentlemen that the company were working the through traffic from and to Cannon-street to the prejudice of the local tra ffi c, and that the result was additional delay and inconvenience to the North Kent and Mid-Kent passengers, and instances were mentioned of delays of five and six hours between Cannon street and stations on the North Kent and Mid Kent lines. Mr. EBORALL replied that the traffic arrangements would be remodelled at once, and that other suggestions and complaints made would have the beat attention of the directors and officers of the company. He added that the Board of Trade bad no power to interfere as to the arrangement of the trains. Mr. SMILES, the secretary of the company, reiterated Mr. Eborall's promises, and added that the delays had arisen from the too great anxiety of the traffic manager and his subordinates to give the public too good a service, and more than he (Mr. Smiles) thought the necessities of the case required. Several gentlemen present bore testimony to the un varying civility of the subordinates of the company under the pressure of the numerous complaints by which they were assailed from disappointed and irritated passengers, and The CHAIRMAN having intimated that after the satis factory statements of Mr. Eborall and Mr. Smiles, he should next propose the resolutions he had come prepared with. . . The motion of Mr. Reeves, with the addition pro by Mr. Lloyd, was adopted, and also a reso rir:rodn expressing the appreciation of the meeting with the uniform civility of the subordinates of the company during the past eight days of unequalled difficulty in the working of the line. _ _ _ Mr. WILLS then moved, and Mr. FLINT secorded the following :—" That this meeting, having beard the explana tion of Mr. Eborall and Mr. Smiles, are ready to extend to the company their forbearance until the arrangements for working the Cannon-street station are made more complete." This was carried with but three or four dissentients, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceeding,. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—Mn Thursday evening Mr. Langham held an inquest at St. George's Hospital on the body of Samuel Moulden, aged 2t4. The deceased was a porter in the service of the Wert London Railway Company, and was a most energet'c man in the performance of his duty. On Monday evening last, shortly before half-past nine o'clock, a train from Croydon arrived at the Kensing ton station, consisting of three passenger carriages, two private carriages, and a horse-box. The deceased walked by the side of the train, and while proceeding forwards a door closed upon his heels and tripped him np, throw ing him under the train. The unfortunate man was run over by the front wheels of the carriage, and the hind wheel rested on his body. He was extricated as speedily as pos sible and conveyed to thehospital,where Mr. Lee, thehouse surgeon, found that he had his right arm broken and a compound fracture of the right thigh, together with other injuries. He died in two hours and a half after his ad mission, the result of the shock to the system. Verdict, " Accidental death." An inquest was held by Mr. Lang ham, St. George's Hospital, relative to the death of Richard Taylor, aged :34. The deceased had been a platelayer in the employ of the London. Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, but afterwards took to labouring. He went on Saturday last to mow some grass in the meadows, near Herne-hill, about a quarter of a mile from Dulwich Station. He went into the refreshment room in the evening at about 7 o'clock, and subsequently just before 9. He left apparently quite sober. He was shortly afterwards found lying on the line in the 6-foot way, with his head towards London. He was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where it was found that he had a contused wound on the lower part of the forehead,the lower part of the frontal bone was fractured, depressed, and the bone driven in. He remained in a state of unconsciousness until 'Wednesday, when he died of inflammation of the brain. The liver was also ruptured. Mr. Hancock, the st.ttiondnaster at Herne-hill, said, in his opinion, the de ceased cro,sed over the line behind one train, and as another came in he wee struck by it and thrown between the 6-foot way, where lie was found. A verdictof " Accidental death" was returned. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS IN A CHURCH. At the Reephiun Petty Sessions, on the 27th ult., William Joyce, shoemaker, of Itintry, who had been appointed by the rector of the parish (the Rev. S. F. W. C. Hom fray) as his churchwarden, was charged with having assaulted William Cronshay, farmer, on Sunday, July 22, by forcibly turning him out of a seat in the church. It seemed that the complainant had acted as leader of the choir, who sat in the chancel, until the end of June or the beginning of July, when, in consequence of some thing which was not explained by the evidence, complain. ant received orders not to sit in the chancel. In cense quenco of that he saw Mr. Hastings and Mr Cubitt, acting churchwardens, and they appropriated the front seat, opposite the reading-desk, for tho singers. That seat was so occupied on the let, Bth, and lfith of July without interruption, but on the Tbid lon which day there was a notice on the church-door to the effect that the choir were not to sing) defendant went to complainant before the service commenced, and asked him to leave the pew. Complainant refuse lto quit the seat. whereupon a aonsultation took place between defendant and the rector in the vestry, and after the latter had proceeded to the reading-desk and commenced the service, defendant took complainant by his collar, and pulled him out of the seat. Complainant, it appeared, conducted himself reverently'and respectfully, and the congregation left the church en saauc, one girl being thrown into hysterics. The defence set up was that Joyce was actually the rector's churchwarden, and had superseded Mr. Hastings ; moreover, that he had a special right to the pew in question, which was attached to his house. The bench, however, overruled these points, and fined defendant 5/. with costa, it beingstated by defendant's solicitor that the case would be taken to a superior court. The rector was then charged with assaulting Mr. Cronshay on Sunday, July 29. Complainant stated that he was going to the church to fetch a hassock which belonged to him, when he encountered defendant in the churchyard, and on their arriving at the porch the latter put out his hand and pushed complainant a yard or two. A cross summons was taken out, and the rector said that in endeavouring to pass into the church Mr. Cronshay pushed against him. He (the rector) had not the least intention of laying a hand on Mr. Creasing, who had annoyed him at different times. After some deliberation the bench fined Mr. Homfray 51. (including costs), and dismissed the charge against Mr. Cronsbay. Mr. Cronshay and Mr. Hume, another member of the choir, were also charged on the information of William Joyce, with vexing, molesting, and troubling the rector during the celebration of divine service on Sunday, the 22nd ult., but no evidence was offered in this oann-41nromi. Sergeant Cole was then ordered to stand forward. Mr. Payne—lt will be a sufficient reward for you to know that both the grand jury and the traverse jury have admired your conduct, and that I quite agree with them. The officer on duty shall represent the case to the police authorities at Scotland•yard. THE POLICE COURT& GUILDHALL. John Keen, a porter, residing at 83, St. John's-street, Clerkenwell, was placed at the bar before Alderman Stone, charged with stealing a number of writing desks and other property belonging to his employer ; and Charles Porter, of 18, St. John9•lane, Clerkenwell, was charged with re ceiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. William George Howard said he assisted his father in his business at 69, Barbican. The prisoner Keen had been in their employ for the last nine or ten years. About a quarter past eight o'clock on the previous evening he missed a writing-desk off one of the shelves, and spoke to his father about it. _ _ . Mr. Howard said that in consequence of what his son said he went into the yard, and told the prisoner Keen to bring from the stable the case or desk be bad just taken out of the warehouse, and he brought forward the writing desk produced. Witness sent for a constable, and gave him into custody. The other writing-desks produced by the officer were his property. He bad missed them from the shelves in the warehouse, amid ey had not been sold. Mr. John Henry Elliott said he was a toy dealer, in Brompton-row. On the Tuesday of last week he pur chased from Porter two cases containing writing materials. He had bought goods from the prisoner previously. He gave 7s. for the two cases. He asked the prisoner if he was the master of them, and he said he was not, but that he had them from the maker to sell for him. He asked Porter how it was the maker did not bring them himself, and he said that he only served wholesale houses, and if it were known that he served retail houses the wholesale houses would not like it. He said be could supply witness with those desks at 425. per dozen at any time. From his knowledge of thevalue of the desks he communicated with Mr. Howard, as he knew he sold desks of that descrip tion. His reason for communicating with Mr. Howard was that he knew the desks were worth more money. His suspicions being excited, he asked Porter for his address, in case, as he said, of requiring more goods. He sent pri soner a further order for some goods at the same price, which he did by Mr. Howard's direction. He had not re ceived them yet, as there had not been time. The prisoners were remanded. BOW-STREET. Patrick Griffin, a boy of about eight years of age, was brought before Mr. Vaughan, in custody of Taylor, the warrant officer, charged with stealing a half-crown from Mary Jarvis, the wife of a bricklayer, living at 24, Short's gardens, in the house of her father, a farrier. On Wednesday, Mrs. Jarvis went into the shop to speak to her father, and on taking out her handkerchief, happened to drop two half-crowns. As she was looking for them, the prisoner stooped down to assist in the search, and presently ran out of the shop. The priaoner, though repeatedly accused of taking the money, denied it as repeatedly, until Thursday afternoon, when he went to play in the loft over a cow-shed in the sime street. Another boy, named George Gibbon, the son of the cowkeeper, had a puppy which the prisoner admired, and which he said he should like to buy. Gibson said, " Oh, you havn't got any money to buy it with," to which he replied, " Yes, I have. I earned 2s. 61 yesterday holding horses in Covent-garden, and gave it to my mother to buy me a pair of trousers on Saturday night." Gibson having heard of the occurrence at the farrier's shop, suspected that it was from that quarter that the money was obtained, and gave information to Mrs. Jarvis. On further inquiry it was ascertained that the prisoner bad been more frank to several others of his companions, plainly admitting that he had found the half-crown which Mrs. Jarvis dropped, and had taken it home to his mother. Upon this it was proposed to give him into custody, but a constable, who was instructed to make inquiries, was unable to obtain any information, which, in the judgment of the inspector on duty, would justify the prisoner being locked up. In the meanwhile the prisoner's schoolmaster, Mr. Curran, of the Roman Catholic Schools, in Charles-street, bad ques tioned him on the matter, saying that he " could not be taken up for merely picking up the half-crown." Upon this the prisoner acknowledged that he took it, still adher ing to the statement that he gave it to his mother. The prisoner bore an excellent character in the schooL Mr. Vaughan said that Mr. Curran was wrong in his law. If the prisoner picked it up in the way described that was a felony. The prisoner's mother, a woman of decent appearance, denied having received the half-crown. Mr. Vaughan was sorry to hear her deny it. The boy had made two distinct statements, but both ending with the as‘ertion that he gave the money to his mothel 7 . He (Mr. Vaughan) did not believe that the latter part of the story was fabricated. The mother said that she should not encourage her son to thieve. Mr. Vaughan said that might be, and it was very likely that she did not know the money was stolen, but that she had received it from him he was quite convinced. He should remand the prisoner for further inquiry, and also to consider what should be done with him. SOUTHWARK. John Durk, a costermonger, was brought before Mr. Burcham, charged with misappropriating to his own use a dagger and a pair of studs, the property of Mr. Stevens, gas engineer, Southwark-bridge-road. John Warrington, 132 L. said that about twelve on the previous night two lads brought to the station house a leather bag, which they said they had picked up the street. The bag was open, and they told him that the prisoner had gone, but had taken from it a dagger and a pair of studs, which he did not replace. Witness asked where they left the prisoner, when they told him he was In a public' house in Webber-street. Witness proceeded to the latter place, and saw the prisoner, who war drinking with a woman. He asked him what he had done with the dagger and studs he took from a leather bag. He at first denied all about it, but afterwards produced them from his pocket, and then he took him into custody. At the station - house he produced a silver whistle which he had taken from the bag. William Roberta, a lad about thirteen years of age, said that he was disposing of wood in Oakley-street, and when jumping from his cart to enter a house, be fell over a lnither bag in the gutter. He picked it up and took it to the shed, when the prisoner came and looked at the bag, and suggested that it should be opened. He then forced *be bag epen, and took several things from It ; among which he saw the dagger and a pair of studs, which be put in his pocket. He then aloud the bag, and returned it to kin sad his oampaoiao. The Suffolk coast, near where the recent catas trophe took place, has been the scene of another fearful steam-ship collision, resulting in the loss of the Ross D. Mangles, a powerful iron screw collier, the property of the General Iron Screw Collier Company. The vessel, com manded by Ca Lain Broom, was on a voz , Bfrom the Thames to the T7 ne, to receive a cargo of and be tween 1 and 2 o clock on Thursday morning reached abreast of Orforaness, a few miles to the southward of the spot where the Bruiser and Haswell steamers came together, when another steamship, which afterwards proved to be the Ryhope, a large screw collier, coal laden, from the Tyne for London, was observed approaching. What course the respective vessels were pur suing has not correctly transpired, but from the way in which the Ross D. Mangles was struck it would seem that she was keeping a port helm when the collision occurred. The two steamers neared each other, and the Rybope's stem caught the ,port side of the Ross D. Mangles just abaft the main rigging, cutting into her hull to a fear ful extent. The shock is described to have been very severe, and considering the nature of the mishap it is somewhat providential that there was not a greater loss of life. It was quickly discovered that the Rose D. Mangles was fast filling, and the Ryhope speedily backed out of the sinking steamer. Some of her hands managed to scramble on to the bow of the Ryhope before she got away, and others took to lifebuoys, and it is stated that within five or six minutes after she was struck she went down in deep water. The Ryhope, as soon as she got clear, put off boats and picked up the hands which had not succeeded in getting on board of her, and on the men being mustered it was found that a fireman was miming. He wet seen on the deck just before the vessel foundered, and it is thought that he perished with her. Captain Broom, who was on the bridge of the Roes I) Mangled with his chief mate, sustained some serious internal injury. The Ryhope continued about the spot for some time, and then proceeded on her course to the Thames, and landed the crew of the ill-fated vessel at Blackwell, Captain Broom being removed to have medical assistance. The circumstances attending the collision will form the subject of a full investigation by the directors of the company. It is stated that both steamers exhibited the usual lights required by the Admiralty regulations. The Ryhope, which has sustained serious injury to her stem, has come up to the Victoria-docks. The Ross D. Mangles was upwards of 500 tone register, and had been some years engaged in the coal trade, running between London and the Tyne and other ports in the north. She is reported to have been insured. THE BOILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE AT CHATHAM DOCKYARD. CHATHAM, FRIDAY. The inquest on the bodies of Robert Willian; Stanwood and Frederick Edward May, the two men killed by the accident this morning, was held by Mr. T. Hills, the co roner, and a respectable jury, at Melville Hospital this evening. Previously to any evidence being taken the coroner and jury proceeded to the dockyard to inspect the locality of the accident, and were occupied in this duty some time. The boiler lay in the same position it occupied in the morning, surrounded by rubbish, and this, as well as the top portion, which lay between the foundry and smiths' shop, was minutely examined, the jury remaining at this portion of their duty until quite dusk. On their return to the hospital, mere formal evidence of Mr. Edward Rowland was taken to prove the identity of the bodies, after which the coroner adjourned the in quest until next week ; • drawing of the boiler, boiler. house, and adjacent buildings being in the meantime pre pared for the information of the jury. All the sufferers are going on favourably, and hopes are entertained that neither Mr. Hooper nor Shackleton, two of the persons injured, will require their limbs ampu tated. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A WOMAN.—Yesterday Dr. Hardwicke, deputy-coroner for central Middlesex, held an inquest at the King's Heed, Broad-street, St. Giles, on the body of Elizabeth ,McCormack, aged 61, whose death occurred in such a manner as to make it impossible for the jury to return a conclusive verdict. James McCormack, who was husband of deceased, said he lived at 11, Totten ham-place, Tottenham-court-road. On Friday night last his wife was quite well and Bober. He gave her 7e. Bd., telling her to buy him a working shirt and a pair of stockings. She went out, but he met her afterwards with a female friend and they all went into a public-house in the Euston-road, where they had a pint of 6d. ale amongst them. When they left the public-house he parted with his wife ea he had somewhere to go. He could swear Lis wife was perfectly sober. That was about 10 o'clock at night. They only had one pint of ale amongst them. He saw no more of his wife till he found her in St. Giles's workhouse insensible, on Sunday. His son fi rst told him where his wife was. He has been committed for trial for highway robbery with violence the night after his mother was missing. Police-constable Wilson, 27 F, said that at about a quarter past 2 on Saturday morning last, he was on duty in Upper Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy-square when he saw the deceased lying on a door-step, insensible. She had been vomiting, and smelt very strongly of drink. He partly roused her, when she exclaimed, " Oh, don't ! oh, don't." There was a quart-jug beside her three parts full of beer, which he upset in trying to rouse ber. The deceased was coon , veyed to the station-house, and locked up in a cell all ' night. From the evidence of the sergeant on duty at the I • tune, it appeared that as deceased did not seem to recover at half-past 8 in the morning she was sent to St. Giles's workhouse. She was conveyed there in a wheelbarrow. It was subsequently sworn that the deceased did not pos sess any such jug as that found by the police. The pauper nurse at the workhouse said that deceased was admitted into the infirmary of the workhouse on Saturday morning. No money or property, beside her clothes, was found on her. Mr. Bennett, resident medical officer at St. Giles's workhouse, said the deceased was in an on conscious state all the while she was in the house. She died at 1 o'clock on Monday afternoon last. Upon ex amining the body after death, he found a slight wound on the left elbow, an extensive abrasion about the size of a hand on her back, and upon internal examination an extravasation of blood beneath the scalp, and 6oz, of clotted blood on the left ride of the head. This was caused by a blow or fall on the left ride of the head. The vessels on the right side of the head were injured through the force of the blow on the left side. Death resulted from the injury to the bead. He could not say for certain how that was produced. No further evidence was forthcoming, and after a long deliberation the jury re turned an open verdict, that deceased died from injuries to the head, received whilst under the influence of liquor, but that how such injuries were produced there was no evidence to show. The coroner remarked upon the practice of the police, of treating all persons they found insensible in the street as merely drunk, and locking them up without sundial man seeing them. He thought there ought to be some great change made in the system, for it daily turned out that persons locked up for drunk were not drunk at all, but were suffering from fractured skulls. He hoped public *Startles would be directed to the subject. 1.11A71E9 or SOLICITORS AND FURTHER PARTICULARS TO 1111 OBTAINED AT THE 01 , 1 , 101 Or THE OHM BROUITRA.II, COURT Or BANKROPICY, EASINGRALL-0211111.1 BANKRUPTS.

THAMES. --. . Alfred Powell, aged 27, and described as having no home, and Mary Awn Donohue, of No. 6, Boarding-entry, no occupation, aged 26, were brought before Mr. Part ridge on remand, charged with stealing 841 b. of tea okthe river. .. On the evening of Thursday, the 30th of August, Mr. Forfar received information that a chest of tea had been stolen in transit from a barge on the river and conveyed to No. 6, New Gravel-lane, Shadwell. He procured the as sistance of a land constable named George Moiham, No. 143 K, and proceeded to the house, where he found the female prisoner in a room surrounded by parcels of tea. There was a dish contain ing tea on the table, and two bags each contain ing tea alongside of her. Ina cupboard in the same 'house a broken tea chest was disooverd. Forfar made a search in the room, and saw the male prisoner concealed under a bed, and dragged him out. One bag contained 501 b. of tea, another 301 b., and there were other parcels making up 1441 b. in all. Both prisoners denied all know ledge of the tea. Forfar said he knew both prisoners well as the associates of thieves. Both prisoners denied all knowledge of the tea, or how it came into their possession. Mr. Partridge, having ascertained that the ship to which the tea chests were consigned from West Kent Wharf, bad sailed, convicted the prisoners of unlawful possession of 841 b of tea, and sentenced them each to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to bard labour. Mark Dixon, a powerful, awkward-looking fellow, appa rently about twenty years of age, was charged with vio lently assalting Edward Powell. The parties were inmates of the Stepney Union-house at Bromley, and Mr. Parker, the master who preferred the charge, said the prisoner had been an inmate since he was 13 years of age, and was likely to continue so. The pri soner had been repeatedly refractory and the terror of the poor creatures who could not help themselves, and whom he (Mr. Parker) was bound and determined to protect. Mr. Partridge : lam very glad to hear you say so. Edward Powell, an inmate of the Stepney Union-house, 1 1 said the prisoner attacked him without any provocation, called him names, and after seising him by the arm, threw him down several times and also struck him several times with his fists. The prisoner had assaulted him before, and very frequently. Mr. Partridge (to prisoner)—Yon have committed a cruel and violent assault on this poor boy, for which I sentence you to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour.
