This morning hatrittcr I wen officially appointed f..t the trial of Madame Rachel for obtaining a large sum (.1 rim cy from a widow named Borradaile by false inane., of an extraonlinary character, the greatest in t. rd appeared to be manifested to hear the proceedings, :0,1 the court was filled nt an early hour. :shortly :titer 10 o'clock the defendant was placed at the tsh.. was described in the calendar as Sarah Rachel 1A.%11,4 41, and was stated to be 43 years of age, but she emotes! to be much older. She was fashionably dreamed, 01.1 Iva...awed to be seated during the trial. The i n dictment charged her with obtaining by false pro t. arc.: from Mary Tucker Borradaile;divers large sums of vsney. her property. She was also charged with obtain in;; divers goods by the same false pretences. Scrjeant Ballantine was specially retained, with Mr. I.lontagu Williams and Mr. Straight, to conduct the pro secution. instructed by Messrs. Lewis and Lewis. Mr. ltighy Seymour, Q.C., Serjeant Parry, and Serjeant Sleigh were specially retained, with Mr. Butler Rigby, for the de hires, instructed by Mr. W. H. Roberts. The defendant pleaded not guilty. When the case was called on, Serjeant Ballantine asked for a short delay on account of the prosecutrix, Mrs. Bor. radaile, not haring arrived. He said there was not the :.hgliteet pretence for supposing that she would not arrive it, the course of a few minutes. Mr. Digby Seymour said they had done all in their I ...wer to procure her presence, for they had subpumaed 1.. ft After hOMe delay, Serjeant Ballantine said he could not in any way account • .1 the abeenec of Mrs. Borradaile, but he certainly should I. feel justified in opening the case for the prosecution la her absence. The Recorder asked if anything had been seen of the lierjeant Ballantine said she attended before the grand joy- on Monday and had been at the court in attendance several days since. Same of her relations, he believed, were now present, and he could not offer any suggestion to account for her absence. Another delay then took place, and Serjeant Ballantine • ••id that all he could do was to ask his lordship to take a • ....it case and in the interval Mr. Lewis, the attorney for possecution, would endeavour to find Mrs. Borra- The Recorder consented to this course being adopted. Alter a delay of about twenty minutes Mr. Lewis re !. ;red, and it was announced that Mrs. Borradaile was in .tendance, and the case proceeded. serjeaut Ballantine opened the case for the prosecution. le :sad that the case appeared to have created a great deal t : ...trrest, but be should endeavour to confine himself to :• • roil question at issue. The substantial charge against tl.• defendant was, that she had obtained a large sum of ✓ sty from the prosecutrix by means of false pretences, • he was bound to admit that the prosecutrix had exhi l.t.sl a must extraordinary amount of credulity, and there ,• no doubt that she was a very foolish woman, and t 1 .1 although she had long passed from being young, she believed that she might be made an object of :.• _.,alien. They would, however, see her, and 4.1,1 judge for themselves upon this matter. (A laugh.) di.f.sidant was an illiterate woman ; he believed she 1,! neither read nor write ; and it appeared that she had ,1. fed s pretentious shop in New Bond-street in 1866, 10 . 11 ., 1ie professed to make ladies "Beautiful forever," advertisements to that effect in the newspapers, ut.,rl. he had no doubt were very successful. It was extra . ••11.aly that such credulity should be exhibited, but • ..• ws •no doubt that it was the case. The counsel then 1....e1.-a to say that the prceeeutrix was foolish enough to •r • to the prisoner, and she professed to make her beauti :• I. b.. 1 the sum demanded for effecting this object v • 1.000/. The prosecutrix objected to this, • 1.,1 the prisoner then told her that a noble • of high rank, Lord Ranelagh, had fallen in love with from seeing her at her house, and that he would r ray. her, but that she must first be " made beautiful ;" the prosecutrix foolishly consented to the tioposition. In consequence of this representation, :1.. prosecutrix was induced to part with large • , ra ...t money, but possibly the whole amount did not go the pockets of the defendant. The learned serjeant 1! I. proceeded to narrate the other circumstances that 1.1.. re connected with the proceedings, and also to the e ...sled correspondence from Lord Ranelagh, and the :;.:wing evidence was then adduced. ,Th.• reading of the correspondence by the learned • • • caused a roar of merriment in court.) • Me, Mary Tucker Borrodaile was then examined. She 1 ion the widow of Captain Borrodaile. He served r 1..,g time in India, and I resided there with him, :•:.•1 after his death I came to England. I saw the defen tirst through an advertisement in 1864, and purchased •sie toilet articles of her. I saw her in 186.5, and had a riveoation with her about a sum of 1701. that I had given her. I told her I expected that she would do something for my skin for that money. She then told me that a gentleman loved me. I was surprised, and •..keel her who it was, and she replied " Lord Ranelagh," 'el she added that he had seen me both before and after wy marriage, and she would introduce him to me. She • •oil he wan a very good man and a very rich man. I think 10. wa. all that passed then, but I saw her again in two or days, and she then said, "I will now introduce you he man who loves you," and she opened a door and ....sislme a gentleman whom the said was Lord Ranelagh. I , sled hint if he was Lord Ranelagh, and he replied, '' V. • , and here is my card," and he handed me a card. 1 1.. , seen Lord Ranelagh since, and he is the same • mn.to the prisoner introduced me to. After the •, •1 Lot been given me, the prisoner closed .i,s.r, and then said that Lord Ranelagh s ..1.1 in,,ke me a good husband. I had teen Lord Bene t . .1. At Madame Rachel's house, several times, but I never 1-k.. to him. After the first interview the prisoner told 1.. go and take a bath and then return to her and I did awl I found Lord Ranelagh in the shop. The pri •••,,er then said the must again introduce him to me, • %.1 ..be afterwards asked me if I should like to 'Si' him for a husband. I thought as he was such 2...51 man, and a rich man, that it would be a good !LIN.; for my daughter. The prisoner then told me. that I .4,1 Ranelagh had said to her that I should gait him and •i ould make him a good wife. About the beginning of .1 A.r the prisoner told me that it was necessary I -hould be made "beautiful for ever" before I married ••ol Itanelagh, and I think she said that he wished .: She also told me that if I did not marry him it would be money thrown away to be made beautiful for •ter. I was to pay 1,0001. to be made beautiful. At this tame I bad money in the funds. The prisoner introduced me to a solicitor, named Haynes, to arrange the affair. I sold out some stock, and obtained about 9001., and then went to the prisoner's house and saw her and Mr. Haynes, ..ndthe money I had obtained was handed to the prisoner. I gave a written order to Mr. Haynes to that effect, and the receipt was produced and handed to me. It was ssiitten at Mr. Reyna, office, and the prisoner put i• r mark to it. I had not at t his time received any con :•....ration whatever for this money. While this was il.g on. the prisoner told me that we were to be married and she explained that it was to be done by -H... (A laugh.) She also told me that she had ....MIA two parties before by proxy, and that I should be ••11,11.1. After this, several letters were handed to me. . o .y were signed " William," and the prisoner told .• •• t hat they would always be signed in that name lay letters should be left about. I •,.. s at this time that Lord Ranelagh's name was .1) ." 1 1. , ... The prisoner told me that all the letters came .•• Lord Runolagh, and upon one occasion she gave me I ......l..ilaigrette with a letter, and said that it belonged 1 : loAher. (The witness then identified some letters .: were produced, and said that the expreseion rat'" contained in them referred to the pn '•'l I Nearly all the letters that 1 received without date, and at the time I received one • theta I had conferred with my family, and had Aldo •n rommuiiication with Messrs.

At one time • I" suer told me that Lord Ranelagh had hurt his arm •••. ' , odd not write very well, and that some of the letters Si dtert by his servant for him. In some of the l'• . • ~ iequest was made thatlshouldburn them. I wrote , • I , . the letters, but the prisoner always dictated what I she kept the letters and said that she would •• them her-elf. 1 noticed that the writing and • ' • of the letters were very bad and I mentioned I to the prisoner, and she said it arose from •,, nd laving written them. A reference was "tie of the letters to Belgium, and the prisoner 1.... that .die had lien the means of preventing .1 from going to Belgium with the During the period that these letters . - 1 ~~ :• ' I were passing the prisoner mid I should require some lace for my marriage, and else ordered lace to the amount of 4001. from a person named Bower, and it waa sent to her. I never saw the lace but I was sued for the amount by Bower, and was arrested and put into prison for the debt and it was afterwards paid. In one of the letters I received from the supposed Lord Ranelagh allusion was made to thi lace, but the amount was stated to be &W. (lee of the letters that was given to me by the prisoner contained a coronet and Lord Ilanelagh's cypher. and the pi isouer took it from me one day and refused to return it. I believe that I received this letter in January or February, 1887, but I cannot say positively when I re ceived it. The witness went on to say—la one letter I re ceived mention was made of the sum of 4,0001., and I un derstood from the prisoner that it meant that Lord Rene lagh had received nearly 4,000/ of mine, and that she had made up the remainder. An allusion was made in one of the letters to " a little lady," and I understood' this to apply to the Duchess of The Recorder said he thought would be much better not to mention any names, it was absolutely neces sary to do so. Mrs. Borradaile then said—At the end of July or August, 1867. the prisoner told me it would be necessary that I should have diamonds as I was going to marry Lord Ranelagh, and she said she would rend for Mr. Pike, a jeweller in New Bond street, and she did so, and Mr. Pike's assistant came to the prisoner's shop and brought some diamonds, and the prisoner put them round my head, and asked me if I liked them. The price was to be 1,2001. or 1,2601. I had not sufficient money at this time to pay for these diamonde, but I had some property at Streatham, and I went with the prisoner to her solicitor, Mr. Hanes, for the purpose of selling the property 1 refer to. The object of raising the money was to pay for these diamonds, and the prisoner was present at all the interviews that took place upon the subject. The property was sold f0r1,5401., and I authorised Baynes to pay for the diamonds out of this money. I donot recollect whether the prisoner was present when I gave the order. It was an authority to pay the prisoner 1,400/. She subsequently told me that Lord Ranelagh would not allow me to have the diamonds that had been ordered of Mr. Pike, and that I was to have some that belonged to his mother, and she subsequently showed me an old-fashioned coronet, which she said should be altered. I paid 1001. forfeiture to Mr. Pike for not taking the diamonds, and the prisoner afterwards asked me if I would allow her to give the 1,4001. to Captain William Edward, who I understood to be Lord Bane h. I understood that the money was intended for the volunteers. At this stage of the inquiry the court adjourned for the purpose of taking some refreshment. The examination-in-chief of Mrs. Borradaile was con tinued. She said—ln addition to the 1,4001 . and the other sums I have mentioned, I gave theprisoner upon other oc casions sums of 101. and 20/., I understood that all this money was to be given to Lord Ranelagh, and I thought it was to be used for volunteer purposes. She sent to me once for 201., but I could only give her 101., and I had not got any more. The pri soner gave me receipts for the money (produced). She always led me to believe that the money was wanted by Lord Ranelagh for volunteer purposes, but she did not say bow it was to be expended. She wanted larger sums of money, and I told her I could not do so. She used to ray, " Won't you give your dear William some more money ?" I remember therej being a talk about a trousseau for my marriage with Lord Ranelagh, and the prisoner said she would provide it, and she also said that I should want plenty of good clothes for the wedding. A quantity of articles were purchased and they were all left with the prisoner, and I never bad one of them. I think I paid 1701. for them. I repeatedly asked the prisoner for them but never was able to get them ; and she used to tell me to ask my dear William for them. (A laugh.) I had some plate of m, own. That was also taken to Madame Rachels. I gave it to her because she said it was for the volunteers. She had pre viously inquired of me whether I had any plate, and I told her it was at Cheltenham, and she said I must send for it. She told me that it was for Lord Ranelagh, and she also said that as we were going to be married it would be better to have the things all together, and she said she would pack up everything for the wedding. I gave her a quantity of jewellery upon the mane understanding, and when I asked her to re store me the property, she Raid that I must go to my dear William, the man who loved me, for it. Mr. Mayne., the solicitor, subsequently sent me in an account, and in consequence of that I executed a deed for 1,660/. I remember, upon one occasion, being at the prisoner's, when she brought me a lighted cigar ' and told me that Lord Ranelagh had told her to say that his love was as hot as this cigar. (Laughter.) I believe Lord Ranelagh was in the house at the time, but I did not speak to him. I subsequently . had a conversa tion with Mr. Randall, a corn-cutter, in Regent-street, and, in consequence of what he said, I communicated with Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, the solicitors for the pro secution. The bond I had executed was given to the prisoner. Mr. G. H. Lewis was here called, and he proved that he bad given the prisoner notice to produce this deed. Mr. Rigby Seymour, on being called upon to produce this bond, said they had not got it, and he put in a receipt signed by the prosecutrix, which was represented to refer to this bond and other documents. — The prmec —I never received that bond. I gave it her because she said she had handed all the money to Lord Ranelagh, and the 1,60 W. was to make me beautiful for ever. (A laugh.) After I had executed this bond I iras arrested. This was in 1867. While I was in prison the prisoner came to see me and remained with me nearly a whole day, and at her suggestion I executed another deed in order that I might get out of prison, and she mid that as I was going to be married it did not signify. A lawyer's clerk was with Madame Rachel when the deed was executed by which I procured my release. While this inquiry was pending before the magistrate, and the prisoner was under remand, I was again arrested at her suit. . The warrant of attorney executed by the witness when in 'Whitecrose-street prison was here put in. In further examination the proaecutrix said that she eventually obtained her release under a judge's order. She had a cousin, Captain William Edwards, but she had n seen him for three or four years, and never corre sponded with him during the years 1866-7. Witness wrote answers to the letters she received, but they were all dictated by the prisoner, who told her she must place con fidence in her, and she would never repent it. I always underst ood that Lord Ranelagh was the person re ferred to, and the prisoner never mentioned any other man's name, and she told me that Lord Ranelagh had made a promise toms' ry me in the preeence of two of his eer vents. The prisoner, upon one occasion, took me to a coach maker's to choose a carnage for the marriage. The wit nese concluded by stating that she parted with her money and property upon the representation that she was to be warned to Lord Raztelagh. Cross-examined—l decline to say how old I am, and think it is an impertinent question. (A laugh.) I was married in 1846, but I decline to ea)/ how old I was at that time. I have been a widow seven years. I have travelled • good deal, and have seen a good deal of society. and am acquainted with the style and usages of polite so ciety. My maiden name was Edwardes. I never heard of the prisoner till 1864, and I went to her shop. I did so partly on account of her advertisement, and seeing the Queen's name at her shop. Mr. Digby Seymour—You went, in fact, to "beautify" youneli. (A laugh.) Cross-examination continued—l had a conversation with the prisoner in reference to her system, and she told me that it principally consisted in the use of the bath and cleanliness. I had my first Arabian bath in 1864, and the prisoner gave me some preparation to put into it. In 1864 I gave her 1701., and all I had in return was some powders and soap. Ido not remember her telling me that to go through the whole process of being beautified was very expensive, and would cost 1,0001. My object in 1864 was not to be made " beautiful for ever," but I wished to consult her about an eruption I bad on the face. I swear that I did not run up a bill with the prisoner for 64/. A solicitor made an application to me in ber behalf, but I did not owe her a farthing. I was first introduced to Lord Ranelagh in May, 1886. I never took a bath at the prisoner's house. She told she had baths in her house, but I never saw one. She told me that she was giving baths to ladies, and I understood her to mean that she had done so in her own house, but I am not sure. The baths I took were at the public baths, but they have nothing to do with this swindling transaction. Serjeant Ballantine requested the witness to give her evidence quietly, and not make use of these observations. Crose-examination continued—l remember something being Paid at the police court about gentlemen being allowed to peep at ladies while they were taking baths at the prisoner's house. I know of no foundation for this statement except from what the prisoner said. The witness was asked what the prisoner said, and she hesitated and objected to do so. After sometime waiting the witness said that she forgot what the prisoner said. It did not refer to other ladies but to herself. The Recorder told the witness she must answer the question. Mrs. Borradaile said she had forgotten what the pri soner said. _ . By Mr. Dighy Seymour—l really forget what the pri soner said, but she spoke something to me about the baths, and mentioned the name of some person in connection with the matter. I swear that the owner of the public bath I went to in Davies-street did not refuse to let me have a bath there in consequence of what I had said about people peeping at me. She may swear it, but it is not the truth. I don't recollect telling anyone that I had been peeped at at the baths in Davies-street by some gentle men. I forget all about it. I may have said that some one had told me so. When I was introduced to Lord Ranelagh I was not in his company more than four or aye minutes. I swear that he gave me his card. I asked him if he was Lord Ranelagh. and he said he was, and handed me his card; and I then looked upon him as my affianced husband. I cannot say whether I ever saw Lord Ranelagh during my husbaud's lifetime, but I may have done so. I cannot ray whether my husband ever referred to Lord Ranelagh. I consider my husband's name sacred. Let the dead rest. Mr. Rigby Seymour—l do not wish to call your hits-. band's name in question. but you must answer my (nes bon. Iles not then• been unpleasantness with your hus band in which Lord itanelagh`sname was mentioned? '.11; Witness—l forget. I know nothing ad all about it. Cross-examination continued—l will swear that L,rd Ranelagh did not visit me and my husband at Brompton. I forget whether Lord RanalAA made some COMITILIDICa- Lou relative to my child to my hu,baud, which made him very angry with a third person. I knew nothing about It. I cannot reoollect. lity husband was always a kind good husband to me. . _ . . . Mr. Digby Seymour —Never mind your husband —he is in his grave. Cross-examination continued—My hair is all my own. (Laughter.) It is natural, too. I have used a little of the auricamous lotion; that is all. (A roar of laughter.) 1 did not believe that an English nobleman would make love through his footman. (A laugh.) I was well aware that Lord Runelagh's name was Thomas Edward and not William. I swear that I never borrowed any money of the prisoner, but she used to get me to sign papers for her. The acceptance to the bill for 6001. produced is in my handwriting. It is not true that I ever borrowed 600/. of her. The bill is all in my handwriting, but it is not true. She had very great infiuenoe over me, and I used to do what ever she asked me. [A document signed by the witness authorising the prisoner to dispose of the whole of the property bel to her that was in her posses sion, was then put in, and she admitted that the entire document was written by her. With regard to another paper that was put in, the witness said she thought it was her hand-writing. It was read, and it appeared to be an admission that up to a certain data the witness had received a sum of 1,6654 from the prisoner, and that she was indebted to her in that amount.) Mr. Rigby Seymour asked the witness if this document was a fiction from beginning to end, or whether she wrote it in her sleep. (A laugh.) Witness--I have never received a shilling from the pri soner—that is all I can say. A letter was then put in, in which the witness requested that the bills and other securities of hers that were in Madame Rachel's hands might be given up to her, as they would be paid with the money that had been obtained for the Streatham property. The witness admitted that this letter was written by her, but it was done by direction of the prisoner, and she dictated all that was said. 11r. ThibyFeym;ir-bo you mean to my that she bewitch ou Y Witnesa y —l really believe she did. (Laughtet.) Cross-examination continued—l believe I was several times at Mr. Ihsynes's office, and I may have told him that I was gonig to be nesailad to Captain William Ifol wardee, but I meant Lord Itanelagb. [The trial was proceeding when our report left.] cuter vtarted in pursuit, when prisoner entered a coti in Warwick-.treat, and he (prosecutor) had not prooeed many steps down the entrance of it whet, he was knocke4 down by one of three persons, whom he notarial for the first time approaching him just before ho reoeivei the blow. When ho got up the prisoner and his confederate, had managed to make good their escape. and he then gave information to the police which led to his capture. Inspector Turpin and Sergeant Bell, of the IL division, from the deecription:given, went to a public-house in Kent street, where they found prisoner in company with a lot of desperate and well-known characters. He at first made a little show of , resistance, but ultimately came quietly to the station. The prisoner was remanded. LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.' WILIIOI7OII ILICCITKICS •oaror. ► SWITZERLAND.

The market is near the junction of the Brixton and Clap ham-roads, facing Kennington Church, and it will have three fronts. The tradesmen rent ing the shops are to supply shareholders and yearly subscribers at an agreed per ventage on wholesale prices, the difference between the two classes being, that while the former participate in the profits, the latter will possess only the privi lege of buying at the reduced tariff. It is ex pected that the market will be built and opened in four months.

Ilia honour heard several applications in which no point of public inter,t was involved. Several trader debtor . . sun - mouses, which had been taken out with a view to bank ruptcy, came before the court, and objections were taken upon questions of form. In one case it was objected that the address of the claimant had not been set out in the particulars of demand, but the debtor attended with his solicitor, and his Honour, being of opinion that the matter had been sufficiently brought to the knowledge of the debtor, de clined to allow the objection, and notice of appeal was given. In another case it was urged that the particulars of demand bad not been properly served, and that the sum mons, though personally served upon the debtor, ought to be • .It appeared that the " particulars " were put under the door and taken in, but there was no evidence by whom, and the solicitor for the alleged debtor stated that he had never received them. His Honour intimated an opinion that the service was insufficient, but said he would consider thepoint further. There were also several applications on the part of non-assenting creditors under deeds of arrangement executed by debtors for leave to issue execution notwithstanding the certificates of the due registration of such deeds. The evidence in support of these applications showed that the deeds were got up very loosely, and that various expedients were resorted to in order to obtain an apparent statutory majority so as to bind the non-assenting creditors. His Honour said he would look through the papers, and then give his decision. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) 11LE YVBBLM 11017BLZ FOIKIEHIP.B.- Jarreel 1-ankk, 69, pawnbroker, and Barnard Harris, 61, clothier, who yesterday pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging them with conspiring to forge and utter a large quantity of rouble notes, were this morning brought up to receive judgment. The learned judge told them that if they had been tried and convicted of forging the notes, instead of con spiring to do so, they would have been sentenced to penal servitude. As it was, they had been guilty of a very serious crime, for which he sentenced each of them to 17 month's imprisonment. He would have made it 18 months, but he found they had been rather more than a month in prison already. TIM =EDER IN NOPSON POLOLTE. texatuk; iadletod for the wilful murder of Emma Groweaith. Mr. Poland and Mr. Bentley conducted the prosecution (instructed by Mr. Bt. John Wontner for the Treasury). 'The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ribton. The murdered woman was the wife of George Grose mith, an eating-house keeper, at 11, Artillery-passage, and the prisoner was in his service to do the menial work of the shop. On the morning of the fith of May he went ont, leaving in the house Mrs. Grosamith, her boy Walter, about eleven years of age, and the prisoner. In a short time the boy went to school, and about half-past 9 some of the neighbours heard cries proceeding from the house, which they believed to be - those of Mrs. Grossmith. The voice said, " Oh, don't !" repeated three times, and " Oh, John, you will kill me." The prisoner, although his name was Alexander Arthur, went by the name of John. One of the neighbours went in to see what was the matter, and passed through the shop to the kitchen, the door of which was opened to her by the prisoner, and she there saw the deceased lying in a pool of blood. She said, " Oh, John, you have done this," and he replied, "No I have not." She then in quired where Mr. Groeeraith was. The prisoner said he would go and fetch him, and he then went out of the shop and ran away, and he was noticed by several persons to have marks of blood upon his face. Medical assistance was obtained for the unfortunate woman, and .it was found that she had been injured in a fear ful manner about the head and face with a rolling - pin and a piece of iron. The Boor was covered with blood, and the walls were likewise bespattered ; in fact, the place was in such a state that the inspector of police described it as having more the ap pearance of a slaughter-house than a kitchen. The de ceased lingered for several days in great pain, and even tually died on the 17th. The prisoner, notwithstanding the efforts of the police, was not heard of for some time afterwarde;but it ammred that, having been imprisoned in Maidstone gaol for Some trifling offence, he was there identified by means of a photograph. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) POLICE COURTS.--(THIS DAY.) BLLBLBOROUGH-STREET. YE. k TRIdN AND HIS LANDLOIID.-13121011LA8 APPLICATION. Mr. J. Bacon, plumber, &c., of No. 28, Church-street, Boho, and No. 16, Tower-street, St. Martin's-lane, the landlord of Mr. Finlen, whose name has been brought prominently before the public recently, waited upon Mr. Knox this morning, and said :—Your worship, I want to know what lam to do. You granted me a war rant, you may remember, to get rid of Finlen. and I want you to put it into execution. The broker has been into Finlen's place and has valued his finniture at 2e., there being nothing in the place but an old mattress, a cover, and a dish. When the doctor made hie statement to you he said there was a bed in the place, but be made a =stake, as it's only an old mattress, and the broker says its not worth taking away. Finlen told my milieus that he would bring 100 persona and take the place by storm, and my milieus told him that if he did she would let them have a pail of water over them and that she was not afraid of them. Half a dozen men did come, and my missile told them that she was not afraid of them, and that if they were not off like a shot she would let them have what she had promised them, and they would have had it, too, for when my mili eus promises a thing she means it. I went to bed that night, and on getting up at a very early hour and going down stairs, I found my missies sitting in the pairage with a pail of water by her side. I says, " Well minus, what are you waiting for:-" " Oh," says she, " for Mr. Finlen and the Fenian." I then said, " What's that pail of water for r and she says, ." For the Fenian." I told her to go to bed, and not mind Mr. Finlen and hie friends, and she did so. The policeman on going into Finlen's room found that one of the notices served on him had been torn to pieces. AU I want is to get rid of my lodger, who still holds possession. Mr. Knox—lf you come here to-morrow I shall be able to render you the assistance you require. Mr. Bacon thanked the magistrate and retirett. SOUTHWARK. lINDIWAT ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. -•- Daniel (1;;, alias Sourly Ikerry, alias Riley, was. charged before Mr. Buchanan with being concerned in • dining highway robbery accompanied with brutal vio lence.

Meetly ho felt the tug he closed his haul over hi+ waistcoat pocket and saved his wet. li, but a portion of the gold chain was broken off. Immediately he turned round and NM the prisoner, who made off with all speed. Prose- LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE THE GREAT YORKf3HIRE STAKES, ecc. TO TEE EDITOR Or TILE 7111"812/8. Flie,—Little calling for comment has transpired at York up to the present writing, the easy victory of Lades (almost a Derby performance) in the Convivial, with the dead heat between Viscount and Blueskin in the Biennial comprising the main features of the opening day, and I shall at once commence operations on the pro gramme made up for Friday. A most enjoyablefluale to the meeting can be confidently predicted, if the elements, hitherto so boisterous, will only permit, for the Great Yorkshire Stake• that has so often revolutionised the St. Leger betting will provoke it most interesting contest between Charnwood, The Siy, Cap-A-Pie, Blueskin, The Sawyer, a nameless one of Lord Glasgow's, Viscount, and perhaps one of Mr. Marry'e, or Myootis. Viaooant will be useful in assisting The Spy, who must not be set down as inferior to Blueskin because the latter detested The Sawyer much further in the York Biennial than he did in the Stockton Leger, as Mr. Bastwood's gelding only ran a mile and a half against his brother Yorkshireman, and the extra half-mile he had to cover when meeting the south-country glutton was dead against him. All that can be determined is that it is a near thing between The Spy and Blueskin, and by consequence Cap-i-Pie, too, for be is nimair *same • hem. as Mr. Samoa's, measwed through his performance with Theinadyke at Ascot, skim when he is reported to have improved more than the or dinary run of three-year-olds. If he has, he will take some beating ; but the Queen's Plate race at Egham was little to his credit, and I expect to see The Spy win, if Charnwood prove unable to stay the severe mile and three-quaretre, only the doubts about which point prevent the race being actually a certainty for Lord Stamford's pet. The York Cup will be almost a failure, it being very improbable that Newmarket will send Julius, or anything else, to help Blueskin do battle against the north, which may only be represented by Strathconan and perhaps Mercury, Tyndale not being up to the mark. The grey has only to concede 271 b for the two years to the youngster, a task he can just about accomplish oonaidering be gave the 4-yr-old Dean nearly as much in the Stockton Handicap ; at any rate there is nothing beyond this Blueskin to endanger Strathconan'e success. In the Gimcrack we shall be able to judge bow much Thorwaldsen suffered from being "shut in," when beaten by Minaret at Stockton ; he has not a brilliant lot to meet here, and ought to pull through, with no penalty to carry. There is nothing like public form in two-year-old races, and hence the whispers that are abroad concerning other " good things" shall not stall me off the brother is Shibboleth, whose weight is only raised 71b. by his two victories last week. The other events are of no particular import, Lady Henrietta hav ing little to fear beyond Fair Star in the Queen's Plate, whilst Wellington may be good enonith for the colt Sap ling, and Bertha for the Asks Produce Stakes.

Rousseau, the wife of the editor of the Horizon, was buried at Sims. At her own express desire she was interred without any reli gious ceremony. Dr. Rylance, rector of St. James's parish, and dean of Chicago, Illinois, left London on his return journey, after a three months' visit to Europe, this morn ing. The dean was formerly one of the working clergy of a district pariah in the south of London, and will be long remembered for the earnestness and eloquence which marked his ministrations, as well as for his p articipation in several important ameliorative movements, - and for his endeavours during the earlier days of the southern rebellion to promote harmonious feelings between the peoples of Great Britain and the United States. Much of the time he has passed in this country . has been devoted to matters bearing upon church work in America, while the vast congregation by whom be is held in great esteem and affection have, during his absence from them, completed the church edifice by erecting a tower at the cost, vo luntarily subscribed, of 8,000/. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—Laat evening, William Charles Holly litter, aged aged 24, residing at 24, Caledonian-road, Lli ngtoo, was employed in doing some repairs to the gas-pipes in the Farringdon-street tunnel. When about 100 yards from 'the King's-cross station he heard a train coming towards him, and he got on the rails of the down line. Owing to the noise made by the train leaving the station he did , not perceive that a tram was appro ach ing from Farringdon-street, and was knocked flat on his face. His right arm was acmes the rails, and the wheels of the engine passed over it. He was picked up insensible, and conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road. His arm was in such a hightful state that it was found necessary to amputate it. His head was also very seriously injured. TEE OREVY ELECTION.—The &angelic du Jura, the organ of the prefect, nays that the triumph of M. ar4vy was " a triumph of esteem." " What, then," asks the Arevir, " would have been the triumph of M. Huot had he been elected The Liberli states that crowds of electors rushed with open voting papers to the polls to vote for M. Grill, and only shut them up when they put them into the urn.
