SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. REVIEW OF THE. DERBY LOTS. oils STRAGGLY:BE.) TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. Sta,—Whether the Frenchmen are this year spin to vanquish us on esmagne's most sacred racing pound, or a Blair Athol is to drop from the cicuda and summarily dispose of all " public form," are questions it would be premature to discoid now, so much having to be does during the next four months to render either hypo thesis possible ; but, whatever in the strange or unforeseen line may happen, nothing can prevent the Derby of 1866 milking a contest of more than ordinary interest. Let Lion, Student, Janitor, or Auguste, or any other horse, run away with the Two Thousand Guineas, we still have Rustic, liedan, Blue Ribeed, and Stabbed to dispute with the victorious one en Epsom Downs, eves supposing the defeated candidates at Newmarket all declined meeting their conqueror again ; and the chapter of socidents will (have to be very heavy indeed if we have sot a sufficiency of cracks to sustain the excitement to the last. At present there is quite a host of them in the field, the reputations Lord Lyon, Rustic, Student, Janitor, Redid), and Blue Riband have fairly earned in public, and that Auguste, Slabber, the Bribery colt, Knight of St. Michael, and Maravedis bear in circles that should not err, giving theta all such strong positions is the minds either of the followers of favourites or out siders that opinions promise to differ as much as ever on the Derby day. With three such horses as Lord Lyon, Student, and Janitor in the Two Thou sand (which owing to their formidable preten sions is quite a dead letter), the result of that contest moat affect the Derby, of course ; but not to such an extent as has often been thecae.; and I hope to see the Blue Ribaod knot almost as difficult to untie on the eve of the pith of May as it is Dow. In entering upon my task it must be freely admitted that the " clerk " lot invests me with uo suzh terrors as it did two yean ago, when, after aniiysing the two-year old form, and finding nothing to recommend in the hest of the representatives thereof, I threw them all overboard and plumped boldly for that prince of darkies, Blair Athol ; the difficulty is to discover the pick of the batch of brilliant performers that presented themselves before the world last season—the one best qua lified to get over the Surrey hill', and stay the severe mile and a half, and most likely also to reach the starting poet sound in wind and limb. In recently reviewing the juveniles of 18433, mv observations were confined mainly to what had been done, all idea, as to promise being left out of the question ; but in discussing the Derby everything must be taken iuto con sideration, and in endeavouring to point out from what quarters tie greatest danger is to be feared by the scknow lodged cracks, I must take cognizance not °sly of a few that have rue unsuccessfully, but of a great many that have not started in public at all. The Yorkshire stables, that have on occasions supplied a moiety of the Derby favourites, are at a fearful discount this year, and apparently depend on the unknown school to sustain their prestige at Epsom. The veteran J. Scott has few horses in his keeping, and not one of last season's cele brities among them, Clues and Knight of St. Michael being his two public performers ; and these have been cut up so badly as to be totally incapable of telling what their comps aloes C.lll hope for before they meet the cracks of their year. War was to have run at Stockton, but met with an acci dent rn route that has kept him chained ever since, or be was to have played some havoc, and done much for the honour of Whitewall. Now, the followers of the Bowes block are looking hopefully towards Westwick, a colt whose pedigree no one can quarrel with, seeing he hag Stockwell for his !ire and. West Anstnlian's " maternal" Mowerina for his dam ; and other believers in "The Wizard" dream of Lord Exeter's Knight of the Crescent, by Knight of St. Petri, out of Besika • but neither is such a great gun in the north as Mr. T. Dawson's uefashionably-bred Stabber, by Stiletto out of Bit of Blue. This latter is entitled to some c . .ueideration from the fact of the Czar and Mrssmate being in the same team (as was also Split the Difference, until recently), the pair having not only figured in good slomroor, but by their appearance given promise of distinguishing themselves some day. Messmate was an especially good-looking two-year-old, and if there had only been a little more of him he would not have remained one of the Dull , outsiders after coming out at Stockton, where be figured so respectably under the moat adverse eircun.itnaces that if Stabber is found ranch the superior to him, when they are put through the mill for their Derby his chance may be second to eons. The colt by Stockwell out of Midsummer, now teamed privately for Mr. S. Hawke, after having been brought up at J. Scott's, 1 have heard little good of ; and seeing litgie to like in Aldcroft, who had all the beat of the weights when he beat Tormentor at Lincoln, there is nothing in the north but Mr. Watt's Strathconaa, trained by the slever J. Watson at Richmond, that I can deem worthy rival. cf Scott's and Dawson's champions. This horse has ran under great disadvantages, having figured in the best of company when performing at York and Doncaster, so that his defetta became a matter of course, on account of his greenness ; but when he met Repulse, as green as himself, at Stockton he very cleverly disposed of her, while at Rich mond ii,acsty was unable to fairly extend him ; and he looks and goes too much like a "clipper" for me to believe yet they hate) one in Yorkshire to do them better service in the Derby thee he will, with nothing definite to be learned coscsrc.iag Stabber, Westwick, and Knight of St. Michael. The Newmarket "Iota" that can be styled formidable are not numerous, and only the senior Hayhoe's end r. io Jennin's have been making any stir for some time past. The former was early ill the kW with Baron Roths .ianitor, who has all the attributes el a i)erby winner, and showed what child's play it was for him to mount the fatal Epsom-hill, when be cantered home for the Woodcote last summer. He was a great horse at this time, or he would not nave beaten Rustic nail Chibisa, " backward" as was the former at Ascot; and with Robin Hood, Dalesman and Lothario— three sp!eudid colts, and the former no mean doer in public —in the 3arou's interest likewise, there will be no better colour ti. wear on the Derby-day than dark blue and yellow, if all see, well, every one of the team promising to make better three-year-olds than they were two-year-olds. Whe. thee Count Legrauge has a second Gladiateur is best known to T. Jenniugs. who can judge better than the world can bow far Auguste is capable of improving on the Goodwood form with Mr. Pitt. I can only express my doubts, nod venture the opinion he has not in Auguste, despite the market indicating otherwise ; and the blue and red will scarcely be carried to glory by the English-bred Plutus or Raven, failing Auguste, judging from their public career. Golding Lae some good material to work with in a Young Melin.uree colt (dam by Teddingtou), and the brother to Rapid Rhone of Lord Glasgow's ; but what he can make of them me-t be left for tine to tell, it being too much to hope that a ('secret Peel will turn up in the best of them. Joseph Daw,an's party build their hopes on Mr. Pryor's dark Arteaian (by Stockwell out of Lquatioo, the dam of Diophantut and Archimedes), and the " suspected" Rector, the latter of whom must improve upon his public form to the extent of two stone to come in the first elm's ; and John Dawson has almost as much to do for Count Batthyany's Mount Palatine, Mazeppe, and Earl of Derby, and Captain Gray's Chronometer and Centaur, to render them of any use against Lord Lyon, Student, Rustic, and the like. The once-fancied Earl of Derby, by Stockwell out of Ranee, he has never been enabled to bring out in public, and it is doubtful whether he can get him to stand the preparation for the Derby. Centaur, again, only came out once to run shamefully, but to impress the entice with his good looks at the same time, and we have certainly to see the best of Ding yet, as well as Mount Palatine, the acknowledged stable champion, but who has not proved himself nearly good enough for such a Derby as that of 1866 will be. Mr. Chaplin possesses a couple of representatives is the erratic Vaspasian soil Denis ; and the former should tell him what the son of Newminster and Queen Mary is capable of, if he has rot lost all his fame. 1 am afraid this is not o nth, and that Bertie is no better bargain than the eleven•tbousaeders, Breadalbane and Broomielaw, there being but a poor prospect for him unless he is of a far, superior class to the best of this pair. Mr. Savile has one or two good-looking representatives at Gilbert's ' • however, something more than good looks will be wan t e d in this fray, or Prince D. Saltykoff's Duke of York (at Blanton's), and Mr. Brvan's Lineret (at Goodwin's), would hive equal chances with anything trained at he idquarters. As it is, unless they are playing a deep game with Auguste, the Duke might prove the second best to Baron Rothschild'. represeo tative of all the Newmarket horses that run in the Derby. Out of Yorkshire and Newmarket there are few dark horses requiring my notice ; still, I know of many good judges that look for something better than Knight of the Crescent, Westwick, sod Stabber in the foreign Maraved;s, or the Irish Torn Kiog. The latter, by King Tom Darling's dam, is the property of Mr. St. George, who showed them one good two-year-old at the Curragh last year in Monitor (not in the Derby), hut is believed to posses- a much better one in this son of King Torn, and if so the English have far more to fear from him than from the Ftniaca. M. Lapin's Maravedis (by the Flying Dutch man Payment) has never yet crossed the Channel ; but a few have been over to see him, and their opinions favour the idea of his being something after the stamp of his brother. Dollar. Another "strange foreigner," Major Fri sklin's Stilton, hes given us a taste of his quality, having boss a good fourth to Ewa, Robin Hood, and Crown Prince on the only occasion of his running in this country, for a Triennial at Newmarket First October • whilst at Chantilly and Paris he ran two severe races with ' the French Czar, a horse (not in our Derby) of some character on the eentineet. But I presume we saw all he was capable of at Newmarket, and his display there will only place him among ou• second raters.—lam, Bta, METEOR.

MORE SHIPPING DISASTER& —LIVERPOOL, THIS DAT.—it would appear that there is to be no termination to the hit of shipping disasters consequent on the late series of gales, for not ooly have we deplorable accounts from all parts of the United Kingdom and Irelead,brd even from the American continent we learn that storms equally as destructive as thine which have visited this country have been ravaging the American seaboard. To-day the large American ship Excelsior which left Liverpool on the 2 - ith December last for New York, under the command of Captain Pendleton, put back to this port in a very disabled state. She bad scaroelv got clear of the Irish coast than she encountered the terrific Christmas storm from the westward, not withstanding which Captain Pendleton endeavoured to forge his way to the west, but after several ineffectual attempts was com rolled to relinquish the task, and seek safety In running before the wind. Even this wu not accomplished without danger, as the Excelsior's sails were all carried away clear out of the gasket', the boats were all stove in, the decks swept, and, on the whole, the vessel was so buffetted about as to make her entry into the Mersey in a very leaky condition. Captain Pendleton states that on the 14th inst., at 2 p.m., when in lat. 51.6 N., los. 9.15 W., he spoke the screw-steamer Reinhard. Cap tain Midler, of Amsterdam. in a very crippled state. The steamer had lost . her rudder, and bad also bees damaged in her hull and rigging. The vessel appeared to be in great distress, and to labour very bard in the sea ; and the captain desired Captain Pendleton to report his condi taw, if possible, to two steam togs, and send them to his asistanoe, as his vessel was fast drifting to E. S. E., on to the Irish coast. The Lilly,which left Liverpool on the 18th Dee. for Madeira, put beck to the Money thisroorning in a dis abled state, having also encountered the late gales. The Messenger was reported off Holyhead to-day, with loss of fore-topmast, jibboom, he., but, up to the 2e patch of our parcel, we have not heard of any fresh disaster accompa nied with loss of life. The United States corvette Kearsarge, which may be remembered for having sent the Alabama to the bottom off Uherbourg, has just arrived at Marseilles from Villafranca. THE LOSS OP H.M.S. BULLDOG. COURT-MARTIAL AT DEVONPORT. A court-martial assembled at Devonport on Monday, on board the Royal Adelaide, guard ship in Hantoaze, to try Captain Charles Wake, mid the officers and men of her Majesty's late ship B ulldog, 6, paddle aloop, for the loss of that vessel. The Bulldog, it may be remembered, was destroyed by her captain, on 23rd October last, in the harbour of Cape Haytien city, St. Domingo, to prevent her falling into the hands of the insurgent rebels, whose forts and vessels she was engaging when she nnfortneately grounded on a spit of sand and coral in the harbour. The following officer. formed the court ;—Admiral Sir C. H. Fremantle, K.C.8., Port Admiral, president Rear-Admiral T. C. Symonds, C. 8., Admiral Superin tendent of Devonport Dockyard Captains T. H. Mason, Canopus; F. B. P. Seymour, Royal Adelaide ; C. J. F. Ewart, Cambridge ; It. Maguire, Galatea ; F. S. Tranlett, Impregnable ; and Mr. W. Eastlake, Deputy-Judge Advocate. Captain Wake a assisted by Mr. J. Beer as his legal adviser. Os the opening of the court the officers and men were mustered, all of whom answered to their names, with the exception of one seaman who was reported "at hce vital." In answer to the usual inquiries of the court neither officen nor men bad any complaint to make in reference to the loss of their ship. A narrative was submitted and read to the court by Capt. Wake. At the close of the reading of the address, Mr. E. Be. henna, assistant-master, and Lieutenant John L. Way, renior lieutenant of the Bulldog, were called before the court and submitted to a long cram-examination on the various statements in the narrative, the court more parti cularly inquiring as to whether every proper mesas had been taken on board the vessel on the day of the accident to prevent such a circumstance occurring as her running ashore, and whether subsequently every means was adopted that was available to endeavour to get her off before she was destroyed. The following officers and men were examined in Menace to the details of Captain Wake's narrative:—Richard Oliver Jam, master's assistant ; W. Symons, captain's coxswain ; George Gentile, quartermaster ; and 11' illiarn Taylor, eignalcuas ; Dr. J. Breakley, surgeon ; Mr. R. Boughton, chief engineer. A statement was then sub mitted to the court in defence of Captain Wake, pointing out that his narrative was confirmed, and Lieut. Rougemoot and Mr. E. Behenna, master's assistant, appointed sating second-master, and doing duty as master of tho Bulldog, were called as witnesses in defence. The court was then adjourned to 10 a.m. yesterday. On the court re assembling, Mr. fogledew and Mr. J. Mackenzie were also called in support of the captain's narrative. The court was then closed, and after about two hours' deliberation, on its being re-opened the Juddge•Advoate announced that the court were of opinion that negligence was shown on the part of Captain Wake sod Mr. Behenna, the acting master, in running the Bulldog ashore, by allowing her to run within the marks laid out in the chart. The court was also of opinion that sufficient exertions were subsequently not made to get the ship off ; also that the ship was prematurely destroyed. Captain Wake was therefore dismissed the ship, andiseverely reprimanded, and Mr. Behenna was reprimanded. The court were also of opinion that Lieutenant J. L. Way and Lieu tenant F. Rougemont had committed errors of judgment in agreeing in counselling with the capt►in to destroy the ship. The court could not however separate, ►fter excepting the above officers, without expressing its full approbation of the very satisfactory conduct of the other officers and the crew under such disadvantageous circumstances. POUNDEIZING OP VIP AMALIA STEAMSHIP, The total loss of this large steamer, one of the new line of steamers recently established is connection with an overland route to India from Liverpool, was made known yesterday in the City, and from the very heavy amount of insurances effected on her at Lloyd's and different matins insnrarce offices—nearly 250,0004—her wreck excited con• siderable interest. The Amelia is reported to be mast red for 50,000/., and her cargo to about 200,000/. AU the offi cers, crew, and passengers lost their baggage and everything belonging to them. The loss of the steamer is attributable mainly to the bunkers sot being fitted with lid coverings. NEW FIRE SALVADE CORPS FOR LONDON.—In consequence of the management of the fire brigade being transferred to the Metropolitan Board of Works the leading fire iosurauce companies in the metropolis have decided on witahlishing a new force, to be called the London Salvage Corps, for the better protection of property at fires. They have appointed Ile. :Swanton, the present chief officer of the western division of. the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, superintendent of the corps, which is to master nearly 100 men, viz., five foremost, .50 permanent men, and 60 auxi liaries, to be employed when wanted. The corps will be divided iota four districts, each station being in clime proxi mity to the present fire engine stations, so io the event of a fire happening, a given number of men can at once be em ployed in savior property, whether insured or otherwise. The uniform to be worn by the corps will be similar to that of the old tire brigade, with leather helmets (the new tire brigade are to have brass helmets, similar to those worn by the fire regiment in Paris). FIRE AT ROTIIERHITII E.—Between two and turee o'clock y esterday morning • fire broke out at the Thames Tunnel Wharf, 51, notherhithe-street. From the fact of the wharf adjoining the large granaries of Mr. Timothy, it was feared that half of that part of the street would be destroyed. The Tunnel Wharf belonged to Mr. H. Levy, a sack-maker, and the building destroyed, although only two doors high, was 85 feet wide and GO feet deep. Owing to the many tons weight of goods of the most in. flammable character, the flames spread with great rapidity. The engines arrived in rapid succession, and plenty of water was obtained from the Thames to feed the floats, and also to supply the land steamers and those worked by manual power ; but in spite of the exertions of the firemen the dames continued to progress, and even at one o'clock yester day afternoon the fire was far from being entirely extin guished. All of a sudden the walls of the spacious building fell with a tremendous crash, filling with the dAris the barges and other vessels lying close by in the river. The firemen, to avoid being crushed to death, bad to drop their hose pipes and retire. Mr. liviotdale and Mr. Ramps, two of the officers of the brigade, narrowly escaped with their lives. The firemen, however, managed to save the premises of Mr. Timothy, but great damage was done to the side of the building by fire, and also to the contents by water. The cause of the fire is at present unknown. Mr. Levy, it was staled, is insured in the Law Fire-officio, and Mr. Timothy in the Liverpool and London and Globe Fire-offioes. LONDON COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.-- The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this society was held yesterday at Acclaims's Hotel, Fleet-street ; Mr. Brett in the chair. Mr. Rogers, the secretary, read the report, which stated that during the past six months the enbeerip. boos received have amounted to 6U. Bs. 6d., and the dona tions to 151. 16s. 6d. The amount paid to pensioners during the same period had been 1184 lle., while the general expenditure - had bees considerably Mooed. The capital of the society sow amounted to the sum of 4,455/. lls. &1., deposited in the Bank of England, including the interest. The chairman, is moving the adoption of the report, earnestly entreated the 00-operation of the trade in assisting the committee to obtain en lacrosse of sutseribera, that the grants may be made to the peadoesem of the society without touching its capital fund. The repast wee adopted, and the usual tontine business having bees transectod. the proceediap closed with a vote of Woks to the daimon. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Jsx. 16. Rittiap in Baseo.—{Batore the Lord Chief Justice, and Jostioes Maokbure, Mellor, and Lash.) BRIAN'. V. FOOTE.-.-11.111RIAGY FEES. This was a special ease, for the opinion of the oourt as to what was the legal fee to be paid for marriage in the parish of Hottan in the county of Bucks. Mr. Mellish, Q.C. (with whom were Mr. Keens ? Q.C., and Mr. M`Namara), said this was an action originally brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, a clergyman, for refusing to many him. The parties got into some very complicated pleadings, and went before Mr. Justine Blackburn relative to them, when an order wee made strik ing out all the pleading., and raising by special cede what was the legal fee for a marriage in the parish of Horton. Mr. Justice Blackburn said the pleadings were not only exceedingly complicated, but they were most scandalous, and had nothing to do with the case. Mr. Mellish said the effect had been to deprive the court from pronouncing an opinion upon by far the most impor tant question, because, having looked at the canons, he was convinced that whether there was • legal custom of a fee for marriage or not a clergyman could not legally refuse to many a man and woman because the fee was not first paid. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C. ( with whom were Mr. Stephens, Q.C., and Mr. Prideanz), for the rector, said they had nothing to do with that question. Mr. Justice Blackburn said it appeared that certain per sons in the pariah most indecently and improperly got a man and woman to go to be married, and retailed to pay the fee. The clergyman who is acting for the defendant, 1 who is the rector, very properly said he could not com promise the rector's rights in his absence, but rather than that the man and woman should live in sin and con cnbinage he would pay the 13.. 4d. for them and marry them. The man and woman laid no they would not, but that they would bring an action, and consequently two mandamuses were applied for. He thought they could not much complain that be had shut them out from raising questions onthe canon', and got the parties quietly married, reserving the point to be raised by special case. Mr. Mellish said then he hoped this ease would not be treated as a decision that a clergyman could legally refuse to marry his parishioners untfl the fees were paid. The law was perfectly clear that a clergyman had not, so to speak, a hen on his fees, but he most perform the service first, and having done that demand his fee, and if not paid he must rue in the Ecclesiastical Court for it. The issue came on to be tried at Guildhall before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury, and then referred to as certain the usual fee paid. It was found that sines 1808 the fee for • marriage in this parish was 13.., and sometimes 13s. 6d.-3.. for the clerk, and 10s. or 10s. 6d. for the rector. A marriage fee must be certain, reasonable, and paid from time immemorial. It was quits clear that no fee was pay able as a common right, and it did not necessaril7 follow that there was • legal fee in any parish, though it was a common and ordinary practice to give by way of gratuity a reasonable sum to the clergyman of the parish. An action could not be maintained for it at common law, but in the Ec clesiastical Court, and that could only be dope after the mar riage ceremony had been performed. There was evidence to show that prior to 1808 the fee paid in this parish varied from 13s. to 13s. 6d., and 3s. for the banns, making it 16s. or 16.. 6d., which was not even a reasonable sum at this time. His main objection was that the fee was too large, and that it was impossible to believe that it had existed from time immemorial. Mr. Joshes Mellor—A Dorsetabire labourer would have to starve for a week and some days before he could pay the fee. (Laughter.) Mr. Mellish—A few years ago agricultural wages in Bucks were not more than Ss. per week. They bad now got up to 6. or 16. Mr. Justice Blackburn—ls that sufficient to ripest the fee ? Thirteen shillings when legal memory commenced, when Richard L came back from the Holy L►nd, was no doubt a large fee, equivalent to 201. of our present money. Mr. Mellish—Yea, an absurd sum. When fees were established for marriages, under the 6 and 7 William IV. in the registration offices, the legislature fixed Is. for the notice, which was equivalent to banns, and 10e. for a marriage license, and ss. otherwise. Wu it not unreason able that the fee claimed should be as much as two weeks' wages of as agricultural labourer ? Mr. JustiCe Blackburn—No, no. A man does not marry every week in the year, but, as he hopes, for once only in his lifetime. If he had to pay a week's wages for it once a year, it would be a great snm, but every man did not wish to be a Blue Beard. (Laughter.) Mr. Mellish said there were unfortunately cases in the agricultural districte where persons should be married at once to be made honest women, but this enormous fee would prevent that. It was also an uncertain fee, and he contended the fee was bad on the three grounds he had stated. The case had not concluded when the court rose. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen was held 3 esterday at Guildhall; the LORD MAI OR presided. His Lonnanir, an baking hi; seat, announced to the court that in conformity with their request he had had an Inter view with the Lord Chief Justice, in reference to the sug gestion that was made by the Committee of General Pur poses, that during the absence of the Recorder upon the commission relating to the late outbreak in Jamaica some arrangement should, if practicable, be made that more than the ordinary number of judges should attend the sittings of the Central Criminal Court. His lordship stated that he had met the Lord Chief Justice by ap pointment upon the subject, and his lordship had received him most kindly and courteously, and he had stated that some difficulty might arise at the next session of the Central Criminal Court owing to the judges having to act in banco at the same time es the sittings of that court ; but that, having regard to the other high and important duties that devolved upon them, the judges would do all in their power to meet the wishes of the wart. (Hear, hear.) The TOWN CLERK also read a letter from Mr. Wadding ton, from the Horne Office, which enclosed one from Mr. Rogers, the secretary to Mr. Secretary Cardwell, expressing the satisfaction of the latter at the readiness with which the Corporation had assented to the request of the govern ment that the Recorder should act upon the Jamaica from mission. The communications Were ordered to be recorded upc the journals of the court. THE CITY PRISONS. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff GIBBONS handed in a statement of the condition of the different prisons and the number of prisoners at present confined therein. It appeared by this statement that there are at present in Newgate 65, in the debtors prison 77, and at Holloway 321 prisoners. THE LATH CHAPLAIN OP THE DEBTORS PRISON. Mr. CONSTABLE, the governor of Whiteman-street prison, reported to the court the death of the Rev. Mr. Carver, the chaplain of that prison. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said that the duties of the shin lain of Whitecroes-strest prison were very light, and only occupied a few hours during the week ; and he moved that the subject be referred to the consideration of the Goal Committee, for them to report with regard to the appoint ment of a successor, and what other steps should be taken in reference to the matter. Alderman Sir J. DUKE said he thought it right to inform the court that, with the concurrence of Mr. Alderman Waterlow, they had, as visiting justices, appointed the Him Mr. Jones, the chaplain of Newgate, pro tern., to perform the same duty at Whitecrosautreet prison. (Hear, hear.) The motion of Alderman CHALLIS was then agreed to. THE NEW LUNATIC ASYLUM. Alderman WILSON brought up a report from the com mittee of visiting justices of the new lunatic asylum, which stated that the building was nearly ready for the reception of the prisoners proposed to be sent there, and asking for the sanction of the court for permission to draw out of the City's cash the sums that were necessary to carry out the preliminary arrangements. AU that was asked for was the sum of 5001., and it was explained that when the budding was in fuU operation the expenses that were incurred would be repaid by the parishes to whom the pauper lunatic* that were sent to the asylum belonged. Alderman Da KW, the chairman of the committeeappointed to superintend the erection of the asylum, said he had great satisfaction in informing the court that there was every reason to believe that the building would be fully ready for the reception of its intended inmates by February next. (Hear, hear.) The motion of Alderman WILSON was then agreed to, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSIO\.HOUSE. A well-dressed young woman who goo the name of Eliza Smith, and stated that she was 19 years of age, was charged before Mr. Alderman Stone (who sat for the Lord Mayor) with picking the pocket of a matronly lady named Swabey, of • purse containing 31. 113.. in gold, a quantity of silver coins, • pair of gold earrings, and • laundre's's bill. Mr. Thomas Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the prosecution. The evidence of the prosecutrix went to show that on the previous afternoon, about half-past 3 o'clock, she entered an omnibus at the corner of Jewry-street, for the purpose of proceeding to Tottenham-court-road, and took her seat along side the prisoner whom she found in the vehicle. The carriage went on as far as Beonett's clock in Cheapside, when another female hailed the conductor, who stopped the omnibus, and that female got out arid was followed by the prisoner. The latter had scarcely stepped from the steps of the vehicle when the prosecutrix missed her purse, which with its contents was safe in her pocket three or four minutes before. The prossentrix mentioned her loss to the conductor, who followed the prisoner and brought her back,and when charged with the robbery she exclaimed, "Oh dear no, not me." The purse was, however, picked up near the wheel of • cart standing by, and at once iden tified by the prosecutrix. Miss Flemingston, a young lady, proved that she saw the conductor stop the prisoner, who while passing the cart threw the purse under it. Witness picked it up and handed it to the prosecatrix. John pitchman, the conductor of the omnibus, and City Constable William Wheeler, to whom the prisoner was given into custody. corroborated the evidence, the latter adding that the prisoner gave her address as being at No. 5, Old Pie-street, Westminster, which turned out to be • common lodging-house of the very lowest class. When apprehended the prisoner stated that by occupation she was a laundress, but when brought to the police station she said she was of the class called " unfortunate." and lodged anywhere she could. When searched the sum of Ba. 2d. was found upon her. Mr. Beard said that although the evidence in the present case was complete, yet he must ask for • remand, on the ground that the prisoner belonged to a regular gang of thieves, who perpetrated these robberies in the omnibuses plying in the metropolis. Mr. Alderman Stone granted the application, and the prisoner was remanded for • week. WESTSIL'CSTER.

Applicant—Yes ; be has returned, and that is the greater reason why I want protection. I am obliged to 8y from home for my life. Mr. Arnoli—That is entirely a different matter, sod calls for that exercise of the law which protects the person. What has he done to you?

At the close of the evidence yesterday, Mr. Farad! said, without particular reference to Bethnal-green, that he believed many cases were sent to the workhouse which ought to be treated at home. The medical officer, by sending the case into the workhouse, was relieved from the necessity of attending it at the house of the poor person, and the relieving officer was also dispensed from the obligation of looking after it. Both were relieved of a certain amount of trouble, and therefore they sent the case into the workhouse. He knew medical officers were wont to say, "If you were to see the state of the houses in which these sick poor were, you would not be surprised et our sending them into the workhouse." But it should be recol lected that they were accustomed to these houses, and when brought into the workhouse they had no place so go to when they recovered, for their furniture and their habi tation was gone. Strange as it might seem, he believed it would be cheaper to treat such cases at home than in the workhouse, where a staff of nurses had to be maintained, and other expenses had to be gone to ou their account. His experience induced him to place no confidence in pauper evidence, or in pauper officers. Some Of the gusrilisns expressed their entire concnrrencb in the observations of the Inspector. ANOTHER SHOCKING MURDER. Yesterday morning a man was arrested at Wolver hampton, and afterwards brought up at Petty Sessions, charged with having perpetrated • foul murder in Shrop shire. The crime was committed in • village called Did dlewick, about eight miles from Bridgnorth, and about the same distanoe from Cleobury Mortimer and Ludlow. Near to the village is a flour mill, driven by water power, and tenanted by Mr. John Meredith, a bachelor, who has for some ten or twelve years had living with him, as his adopted child, the son of one of his sisters, now deceased. The youth, on Sunday last, was about eighteen years of age. His name was Edward Edwards, and his father was for many years clerk to Mr. Noek, ao auctioneer of Bridgnorth. The mill stands at about four or five hundred yards from Mr. Mere dith's bowie or that of any other person ; and it was the young man's habit to go to the mill every Sunday morning to balance his accounts, and also to see to the feeding of • hone and some poultry. Last Sunday morning he was up early, and, after assisting the cowman at the farm, went to the mill at about 8 o'clock. He did not return to breakfast, but no concern was felt, because, on the previous evening, he had talked of taking breakfast with some friends named Leighton, who occupy a farm at Blundell, not far away. When he did not come home to dinner his uncle sent to Mr. Leighton's, but found that he was not there. Mr. Meredith became alarmed, and, accompanied by • young man named Dorrell, who lives with his father on the next farm to that of Mr. Meredith, and by a boy servant, went to the mill. They found the door locked, and the key, with blood upon it, was hanging up in its usual place outside the mill. The mill is entered by steps which communicate with the middle floor. Mr. Meredith upon opening this door found much blood upon the floor, and near to it the hat of his nephew. On looking down through the opening by which the sacks of wheat and flour ascend and descend from the middle to the bottom floor, the searching party saw young Edwards lying with his head terribly wounded, and apparently a corpse. On reaching him, however, they found that though shockingly wounded be was not quite dead. He seemed to have been beaten to insensibility by repeated blows upon the head with some blunt weapon. and then to have been pitched •lown into the ground floor by his assailant. The poor fellow remained unconscious until four o'clock on Monday morning, when he died. The object of the mur derer would teem to have been plunder, for Edwards was known to have some little money with him when he went to the mill. Suspicion has fallen upon • labourer named James Childe, aged about thirty. who was seen some little distance from the locality on Sunday night, with marks of blood upon his clothiogoi and flush of money, of which he was previously known to be almost. if not entirely, desti tute. if. has been remanded to Bridguorth. • THE MURDER IN SOUTHWARK.—An alleged murder of a woman in Southwark formed the subject of an inquiry which was held yesterday by 31r„ William Payne, the City coroner, at St. George's workhouse. Anne Carr, aged 3 years, the person alleged to have been murdered, lived at No. 33, George-street, Kent-street, Southwark, and last Wednesday night she died under circumstances of so suspicious a character that the police were called in, and they arrested a man named George Crane, who had lived with the deceased as her husband, on the charge of having caused her death. The accused mao, who is an "omnibus touter," was remanded by the magis trate until after the evidence implicating him had been inquired into by the coroner at the inquest. The first witness called was Plicebe Savil, a young woman 17 years of age, who deposed that on several occasions she had heard the accused, Crane, call the deceased woman bad names, Oa last Tuesday night the deceased was the worse for liquor, and witness heard her screaming. Witness also heard the accused utter brutal threats to her. After a long investigation, sixteen out of the nineteen jurors agreed to • verdict of "Wilful murder" against Crane, and the coroner issued his warrant for the committal of the prisoner for trial.

EPPS'S HomcsorAllitc Cocoa.—Homoeopathic Practitioners, and the Medical Profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of bomceopathy was first introduced bite this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptabie to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied In the crude state, or so unskilfully manufac tured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, homeo pathic chemist. was Induced in the year DM to tare his atten tion to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pun In its compositiou, and so refined by the prefect tritarsUon it receives in the process It passes through, as to be most accept able to the delicate stomach. For general use, Epps'a cocoa is distinguished as an invigorating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma, Dr. Hassel, In his work, "Food and its Adulterations," says Cocoa coutsins • great variety of int prima nutritive principles ; every ingredient neceessry to the growth aad sustenance of the body."
