A STRANGE CAS2 OP BORSTAL AMR Snia,l7, adecentlydreased young man, describing himself • labourer, was charged with being found on pre lim in possession of Mr. William Tackwell, an oil and doorman, in the Mile-end-road. The prosecutor said--I have • large shed at the rear of my ;remises, containing property connected with my trade to the amount of probably 3001. Latterly I have missed large quantities of this, and was quite unable to amount for the alimppearanoe until? o'clock last evening, when whilecroas rag the yard, I beard a noise within the shed. I attributed this to the cats, who generally contrive toget entranoe any where, but recollecting the loss of my goods, 1 the next instant unlocked the door and entered, struck • light, looked about, but was unable to perceive anything wrong for some minutes, then it struck me that a large quantity of flannel lad been moved from where it was first placed. While I us looking, most certainly I saw the package it self move, and the astonishment I felt at that vas increased tenfold on finding this young man (the prisoner) lying at the back of it on a qu anti ty d Florenee oil in package. He coolly told me that he had some there to sleep but it's how he got there that puzzles se; he mast have passed over two walls and cross two adjoining yards to reach the shed, then forced himself into a bole leading there, then pushed a large box away and afterwards pushed it back again to prevent anyone seeing that he was there ; it is astonishing. However, as I was perfectly sure that he was the regular visitor and had stolen the goods, I gave him into custody. The constable having the conduct of the case corrobo rated the prosecutor as to the difficulty there was in getting moss to the place, and said that prisoner appeared to I. in the habit of practising this sort of marauding. At the Thames Police-court he was a short time since similarly charged, but not any proof of robbery could be then proved spinet him, niece than now, and as his excuse was that be had no money to pay for • lodging he was allowed to p away. He had now given an address, and the people tithe house told him (witness) that he had only slept there for eight or nine previous nights to this, but that he riled and said he should be there that one. Prisoner insisted that he went for a lodging, and had sot committed any robbery on being there before, but he vas committed for three months to the House of Cor m:don. WANDSWORTH. AN UNRULY APYRRNTICIL Jobe Lloyd, 18, was brought up on a warrant charged UM unlawfully absenting himself from his apprenticeship tithe Bridge-road, Battersea. Mr. A. Haynes, on behalf of the master, stated that the Owner was before his worship on the let of March last, to absenting himself for three weeks, hut on that occasion the cue was not premed, as the father interceded for his sat, and the boy promised to return to his work. He was I boy very quick at his trade—a bootmaker—and could, if le liked, be extremely useful to his master, but just now, baring obtained the necessary information to obtain his en livelihood, as he thought, he left his work whenever bethought proper. He absconded again io August last, sea had by some means obtained a situation at a draper's. Os the former occasion his worship gave the boy a caution, bat as that had not the desired effect, he (Mr. Haynes) mated that he should receive a sufficient punishment, in wder that he might be induced to continue his work until Ike end of his apprenticeship. Mr. Christopher Henry Brace, a bootmaker, said the prisoner was apprenticed to him on the 6th of January,lB63, with s premium of 101., which had not all been paid. He absconded on the 25th of August last, and be had been sway ever since without witness's knowing where he was. The prisoner's defence was that his master knocked him 'bout with his boot, and he went away in consequence. He ales said that his master had told the minister of the pariah lthe Rev. Mr. Jenkinson) and the Scripture-reader, that if be kept out of Battersea he would not trouble after him. The master denied that statement. He said that in the tarty Pert of the apprenticeship the father urged him to keep his boy and give him proper correction. He boxed his ears once but as the prisoner threatened him he had sot done so since. That was before March last. Mr. Darman remembered the prisoner having been I brought before him on a former occasion when he told him that if he came again he would be sent to prison for three months. The prisoner had no tight to cheat his master wit of the labour he had a right to exact from him for teaching him a trade. It was the common practice for 9Prentices to run away when their labour was of luivan -40 to the masters. He then committed him to prison ke three months with hard labour. TWO SHOCKING DEATBS BY FIRE. Mr. Payne, coroner, last evening held two iwlsests at Guy's Hospital relative to the deaths by fire of Ellen Went, aged 25 years, and Elizabeth Hainwash, aged 9 jean. The woman Ellen West was the wife of a general dealer living at No. 8, Webber-street, Lambeth. On last Teesday night ahe returned home with her little daughter, sad was then nearly drunk. She went to bed with the little girl and pet the candle on the bed. In a few minutes she was set en tire and she rushed downstairs in a body ci flame, scrc..ming wildly. After some delay the fire was extinguished, end she was conveyed to the hospital dread fully charred all over the body. She died from her injuries is a few hours. _ . . In the caw of the girl Elizabeth Hainwash, it was proved that she was the daughter of a labourer living at 10, Wal pole-place. Woolwich. On Wednesday evening last, while in a neighbour's house playing with the children, she set benelf on fire by standing on the fender to get something off the niantlefilielf. She was burnt in a frightful manner before the dames could be extinguished. A doctor was sent for, and he ordered her removal to the hospital. The garish relieving officer hail to be called in, and he gave 2s. to, pay for her c a r r i a ge by the railway up to London bridge. She died the next day. In each CaAt a verdict of " Accidental death by fire wu returned by the jury. THE FENIAN INVASION.-If certain rumours which have reached us from a most credible source be well I founded, it would appear that Head Centre Stephens'a de- elarations in America touching an early visit to Ireland are something more than mere idle rhodomontade. It is said that her Majesty's government are perfectly cognisant of the fact that Fenians in large numbers are arriving in Ireland every week, and have made arrangements which will ensure for those interesting visitors the proper amount of hospitality and attention. In view of such a state of things, it is not at all likely that the amount of military force stationed in Ireland will be diminished during the lament, or even in the ensuing year.—United Service Gazette. coimay. 04 7 Inks aids ;, s oval* It Le order Wee client. ir ot, of 11.

The Manchester and Leeds newspapers received this morning contain copious details of the disastrous flood which has eocurred in Yorkshire and Lancashire. Man chester and Salford—Salford more especially—have suf fered seriously from an almost unprecedented rising of the Irwell and Medlock. In Lower Broughton and other parts of Salford, many persons were driven from their homes by the flood, and an Immense amount of property has been destroyed. Peel Park was almost completely submerged, the minimum, how ever, from its elevated situation, escaping damage. In Leeds, the Aire and the larger becks overflowed, inun dating the lower parte of the town, and doing greet t damage to property of all descriptions. A t Bradford, the Sa whole of the low parts of the town, in which the principal warehouses are placed, were flooded, and a tremendous et. current was running through the streets. To add to she discomfort and danger, the town was in total darkness, at. owing to the water having entered the gas works. A man Lii• also was drowned at Bradford. At Wakefield, where the a' Calder overflowed its banks, not only was there great S t. damage to property, but unhappily two men were drowned. From Preston, Wigan, Stockport, Blackburn, Huddersfield , Bt. and other places deplorable accounts have been received. One man was drowned in Lower Broughton, and one in the a neighbourhood of Stalybridge. At Ripponden, near O. Halifax, a woman and three children perished through the It : washing away of a bridge which they were messing. St. Several narrow escapes are recorded. The traffic upon the r t. Midland Railway was completely stopped between Leeds to and Bradford, owing to the fall of s portion of the Faholt g o viaduct. A despatch from Shields says the seaports ere in great LO excitement. A strong easterly gale and fearful sea were at raging this afternoon. The Scotia, steamship, which left the Tyne heavily laden for Grangemouth, on returning for sk shelter was pooped, her fires were put out, and her after g. compartments were filled with water. She was likely Lt. to founder, but was got hold of by a tug and es , brought into harbour. She filled with water, but is safe. SS To-night, at 7 o'clock, the Tynemouth L ife Bri g ade fired a It signal that a vessel was ashore on the south side. The vo lunteers were mustered, and the lifeboats were manned and put to sea. Two vessels are ashore on the south side to of the Tyne. One is ashore near the South Pier ; the other, the Sovereign, of North Shields, is on the rocks near Marsden. There are great fears with regard to the ea latter's crew. The crew of the vessel on the South Pier sk have been gallantly rescued by the crew of her Majesty's so ship Castor. ts 90 92 8 4 96 1 94 OS 4 6 pm 98 100 84 88 97 99 98 98 8 4 86i 106 168 111% 104 so 02 6$ ssi is 38 23 85 1241 1241 80 81 181 191 10 20 1171 1181 82 84 49 50 134 125 1 2 4 1 87 59 124 114 11 9115 91 96 38 37 14 18 104 lase 66 67 YD{ 100} 114 16 9 lo pen 116 110 1 Ipa 71 74 ' 114 116 160 166 63 66 63 fa 3 9 160 160 B SOO The Edinburgh Courant of yesterday says :—" The gale 7: I in the Baltic and German Ocean has not abated yet, and the result is that the regular sailings and arrivals of rc , the Baltic steamers at Leith have been interrupted.

The condition of the stock markets to-day is satisfactory, owing partly to the arrival of nearly half a million sterling in gold, the bulk of which is expected to be sent into the Bank next week. There is very little demand for bul- lion for exportation, the Paris exchange being firm. It is believed, therefore, that the official minimum may be reduced during the next two or three weeks, especially as it is anticipated that the influx of coin from the provinces will continue upon a somewhat considerable scale, the harvest being over. The funds are still in request, and have attained a further advance of 1-16 to per cent. The tendency of English railway stocks is rather favourable, but, in the absence of business, prices are mostly quoted the same as yesterday. Turkish Five per Cent. Bonds are again better, upon the announcement of the favourable arrangements completed by the government for the payment of the interest and sinking fund. Italian bonds of 1861, however, have given way. The discount market is quiet, the payments falling due to-day in connexion with a large amount of China and Australian paper having been anticipated. The general rate for good three months' bills is 3 1 per cent., but exceptional transactions are reported at 31, or 1 below the charge at the Bank of England. Consols are now quoted 901, cunt div., for money, and 88/ to 89, ex div., for the account (Gth December). Italian Bonds of 1861 are flat, and have declined per cent., but Turkish of 1865 are in request, sad have risen 1. The other speculative descrip tions are quiet and unaltered. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 58 to 69 ; ditto, 1865, 33 to 1 ; Greek, 131 to 141; Spanish Passive, 211 to 1; ditto Certificates, 141 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 541 to ; Mexican, 171 to /. United States 5-20 Bonds have improved 1 per cent.—viz., to 70 to 1, but Erie and Illinois Central railway shares show no movement, at 49} to 50, and 771 to 1, respectively. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted - 141 to 15, being firm, and Atlantic Telegraph - 8 per cent. preference, 31 to 41, showing no change. The Ripon, from Alexandria, has brought 468,4861. in gold, chiefly Australian. International Financial shares are quoted 2 to 1/ dis. ; London Financial, 161 to Hi dis. ; General Credit, 2to 11 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 5 to 41 dis. ; National Discount, 91 to 10 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 174 to 1. Two o'CLocs. Consols are quoted 901 to cum div. for money, and 881( to 89 ex div. for the account, being frac tionally better in the former case, compared with the price current at 1 o'clock.
