That was before I went with the Firmer to have some spirits and came back before the prisoner, and left him at the public house. I wai ted for him at the lodge door, and when he came back I went into the machine room where I saw Kemp and Latham. It was possible for ;he pioneer to go up into the paper room without my seeing him, because there us two distinct staircases. He was at the bottom of the stairs near the lodge door when he gave the alarm of fire. That was not more than five minutes after I left the pet. steer. I was with Kemp and Latham about three minutes before I heard the alarm of fire. Kr. Lewis said—lt is impossible that the man can speak anerately to minutes. The theory of the prosecution is that the place is safe at 4 o'clock, and thatbetween that and 25 minutes afterwards the place is on fire, and that it must have been set on fire in the interim.

Lewis—He was very pet out about it, and raid if the cap fitted him be _muchde it. When I took him down to Mr. Harvey, be mid he bad not ordered him there. After hearing further evidence, Alderman Medd de cided on sending the case for trial, and having given the usual caution, The prisoner said—l have nothing to say, but that I did not do it. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WOOIJOALI 1011811 T. Albert Emery, a young man formerly in the employ of Mrs. Nary Ann Weds, milliner, of No. 22 Davies-street. Berkeley-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a ring and other articles, the property of his mistress. The promentrix stated that the prisoner was in her em ploy for about twelve months, and left in February last. After he had goes she missed a ring and a number of other ardelea. Police-constable Moore, 193 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody and finding a quantity of property tidentified by the prosecutrix as belonging to her) in the prisoner's boxes. On searching the prisoner, who made no answer to the charge, he found in his possession some du plicates relating to other articles owned by the prosecutor, and they had been given up. The prisoner wished the ease to be disposed of by the magistrate, and pleaded guilty. lth. Tyrwbitt said he was afraid the prisoner bad been in the habit of robbing his employer for some time. He should commit him for three months with hard labour. M.ARYLEBONE. CHARGE or aosssaT. John Wanks, stableman ; and Witham Saunders, foot man, were charged by Mr. James Park Deane, of 16, West hounie-terraoe, barrister, with stealing a quantity of plate. Mr. Deane said—On Saturday he was going into the country and asked Saunders to bring up the plate for him to look over. When he brought it up 18 sil ver forks and spoons were missed of which be could give no account. From further in quiries made by prosecutor he found that Warden had as times been admitted into the pantry. A constable was Nhisd is to investigate the matter and sent for Warden, eke was asked if he had missed any of the plate when he lad been washing or cleaning it. Re said he knew nothing about it.

OPINING OF Mt NNW LINE OM THII LONDON CHATHAM, AND Doran NAILWAT.THIS Dar.)—This =y) morning the new line of railway between the crab-road station of the London, Chatham, and Dower Railway to Clapham Junction was opened for public traffic. By this new line, a want which has long been felt, has now been gratified, and there can not be any doubt of its ultimate success. Passengers an now book themselves at the Ludgate-hill station for almost any of the western and southern suburbs, and for persons raiding at Richmond, Kingston Twickenham, Bashey-park, Kew, and Houns low, and I t will prate a great boon. The Ara train left Kingston this morning for Ludgate-bill at 8 o'clock, and it performs the journey in about an hour. The down train to Kingston was booked to leave Ludgate-hill at 9.10 and arrive at about half-past 10. During the Feast month there will be no Sunday trains. A PAUPER CHILD SCALDED TO DEATH. — ln another column we notice the death of a ehild at the Maid stone Union Workhouse, under circumstances which certainly call for serious comment. The fads, as dis closed at the inquest held on Saturday, appear to be briefly these. Some little time since, a pensioner, named Hook, with his wife and the child in question -- a fine little boy—were obliged to seek temporary shelter at the union. The deceased, though not three years old, was at once taken from the mother, and placed under the control of a girl under 12 years of age named Deck. The ochoobtras states that she had general supervision over the children, numbering about 80 ; but this supervision was so slight that, without the mistress being at all aware of the circumstance, the girl Deck, on the morning of the 4th of March, went to the washhouse, drew a pailful of scalding water from the cop per , and, taking it upstairs, thrust the poor little fellow into it. The child, it seems, was given to dirty habits, and Desk smarts that her only intention was to wash it, and that she first put her hand into the water, to ascertain whether it wee too hot. However that may be, the child was so severely scalded that it was found necessary to remove it to the the mwhere it died on Thursday last. Mr. Stokoe, edical officer of the union , deposed to its death having arisen from the scalding, 'though he added that in all probability the injury would not have had a fatal termination but for the fact of the child having a scrofulous liver. The father, however, stated that the child had never had a day's illness in its life, and it had a very healthy appearance. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony, adding their opinion that panne person should be ap , pointed to superintend the giving out at water for washing the children. We think, however, that they should have gone further than this. If the law does permit of children of such tender age being taken from their natural protectors, the authorities are at least bound to see that persons of sufficient age are appointed to take proper care of them, and that they are not entrusted to the charge of young and inexperienced girls. There are, too, other matters connected with this ease which call for strict investigation by the guardians. As we are told, the parents of the deceased child were not informed of its having been injured until several days after the occurrence, and even then the mother wee not allowed to attend upon her sick offspring, but could only see it occasionally; while at the inquest it was stated, without contradiction, that on the parents reques ti ng a half day's leave of absence to see some friends about the funeral, both of them were absolutely refused this • on, on which thew at once took their discharge. We confess that the whole circumstances appear to us very harsh and unnatural—the hardship of the case being aggravated by the fact that it was the loss of an arm at a pottery in the neighbourhood which compelled the father to have recourse to the workhouse.—Sorts Eastern Gazette. SUSPECTED MIIRDZIL IN SCOTLAND. A ease, involving a strong suspicion of murder, occurred at the farm of Mount Stewart, situated about midway between the villages of Bridge of Fern and Forgandenny, near Perth, on Friday evening. Shortly . before eleven o'clock on Friday evening a messenger arrived in Perth with a letter from the tenant of Mount Stewart,. addressed to the Procurator-Fiscal. The letter stated that on Mr. Hender son's arrival home from Perth market on Friday evening he found his house locked up, and was obliged to enter the premises by a window. Having gained access to the house he went into the kitchen, where he found the dead body of his sister lying in the midst of a pool of blood. Immediately on receipt of the letter Mr. Young, assistant Procurator for the county, accompanied by several police officers, proceeded to Mount Stewart. Here a horrible spectacle met their view. On the floor of the kitchen lay the dead body of Henderson's sister ; her head, which wag almost cleft in two, lying in a pool of blood. The walls and roof of the apartment, as well as the articles of furniture, were all bespattered with blood, and close by the body an axe—such as is com monly used for rough work about farm staadings—was found with the handle and head also covered with blood. Henderson, on being questioned by the Fiscal, said that on his return home from Perth market on Friday afternoon about six o'clock, he found his sister dead on the kitchen floor ; but the truth of this statement was doubted by the Fiscal, from the fact that when he reached Mount Stewart, a little before midnight, the body of the deceased was still warm, which could not have been the case had she been deed six hours before, as alleged by her brother. This circumstance, coupled with the fact that Henderson was the only in mate of the house besides the deceased, caused the Fiscal to order him to be watched by the police, which was ac cordingly done, and at the same time the premiees were taken possession of by them. On Saturday morning Mr. WLean, Procurator-Fiscal for the county, accompanied by Sheriff Barclay, Dr. Abeolon, chief constable Gordon, Mr. Smart, architect, and other officials, visited the scene of the sad occurrence for the purpose of collecting information and holding a post-mortem examination of the body. Of coarse the result of their inquiry has not transpired, but meanwhile Henderson is under surveillance of the police, and there good reason for supposing that a most foul and cold-blooded murder has been perpetrated. The deceased, who is about fifty Taus of age, woolly resided in the neighbourhood of Stan ley, and was only reading with her brother for a few days to aisle" him in some particular work about hie farm. She has left a husband and large famil of children to mourn their bereavement. The ruapee person is about sixty years of age and unmarried. He is of a most penurious disposition, and of strictly temperate habits. Various rumours are afloat as to the motive for the crime, but, as they are not as yet verified by evidence, we refrain in the meantime from giving them publicity.—EdinburgA Corr nag.

Adair in the chair. Mr. Rodwell proceeded with his address on behalf of the sitting member, Sir R. Clifton. He commenced by com menting upon the evidence of the witness Lawton, who made the statement with reference to the butchering and cayenne-peppering of Paget and Morley's voters, which words he alleged Sir R. Clifton made use of. That statement was not only entirely uncor roborated but he should prove it to be an entire inven tion. He next touched upon the evidence of Cox, who I showed such hostility towards Sir R. Clifton, and called him a lying vagabond, and would call him so still. The fact was that Mr. COX was extremely unpopular, more un popular than Jemmy Sweet. The accuracy of his state ment might be gathered from the fact that he stated that on the omission of the riot spoken to, be saw the blinds of Sir Robert Clifton's committee room pulled up and down, when he should prove eon elusively that t her e were no blinds at all to the windows. He should call Mr. Prads, who was there to prove the in accurasy of the witness, who was led away by his extreme hostility to Sir R. Clifton to overstate the circumstances of the case. He should show that in the course of that day there was a violent attack on Mr. Martin's committee room by the lambs of Padget and Morley, a fact which up to the present time had been entirely kept in the dark. He admitted that there were acts of extreme violence and insubordination at the late election for Nottingham. It was dear that Mr. Marton complained that Sir Robert's voters were prevented from going to the poll, and one of the witnesses deposed to a cry that Sir Robert's voters were locked up or blocked up. It was on the polling day, and it was no wonder that in the state of excitement in which the town was Sir Robert honestly believed that they were locked up, and indulged in the violence of language attributed to him. The learned counsel referred to the polling sheets of the Byron ward to show that almost the whole of the voters who polled early in the day, in the fret hour or two, polled for et and Morley, which was prima facie evidence that Robert's voters were prevented from mining up to the poll. The Chairman said that the learned counsel could not prove the hours of polling from the poll-book. Mr. Rodwell said that he should be prepared with an analysisof the polling, whichwould show that out of the first 100 then, was a very large proportion of the voters whopolled for Paget and Morley as compared with the votes for Clif ton. He would give one instance which would be a fair example of the whole. In the Exchange polling-booth there were 24 who polled for Paget and Morley, 1 for Martin, and none for Clifton. They had the evidence of Adcock to show that the moment way was made for Sr R. Clifton's voters, five went up and polled one after the other for Clifton, as recorded in the poll book. He should call three or four oonetables to show that the poll-booths were unfairly packed by Paget, and that the voters of Clifton could not get in. He should call one of the witnesses, who would prove rather a singular incident, and that was, that when some of the Clifton voters could not get in, one of them cried out, " Let us in, we cannot get in ;" when one of those who were obstructing the way said, " I will answer you in the words of St. Paul,' You cannot enter here without the keys.'" Now that was a very curious expression and not very likely to have been invented. He should show by the evidence of Mr. Hedington that so far from Sr Robert inviting the mob to acts of violence he really did all he could to stop anything like violence and he should give the statement of the " lambs" that had been called, and who had stated that Sir Robert told them that they must go in sad smash the committee room of Morley and Paget, in St. Ann's ward, the flattest contradiction. That there was very great excitement in the town was quite evident from the statement of one witness, who charged the mayor with , being half-drunk. Supposing Sir Robert had made use of such an expression, would it net have been said that be was trying to bring the authorities • , into contempt with a view to serve his own interests The learned conned then proceeded to comment at length upon the evidence of Enowland and Reeves, in order to s ho w that they had contradicted themselves, and that no reli ance was to be placed upon their testimony, and was pro ceeding with his address when our report left.

This egegaL v o ir tine et the rater, Although the continued influx of gold and the firmness of the exchanges, which is likely to be increased by the apprehension of war in Germany, point to the probability of a further fall in the value of money, it is doubted, considering the un favourable character of the movements shown in the last return, whether a reduction in the Bank rate will be made before next week at the earliest. It seems reasonable to expect that the Bank directors will wait to see the effect of the payment of the April dividends, which will commence on Monday next, the 9th inst. At Hamburg, on Saturday, the rate of discount was 4I per cent., showing an advance of I per cent. The amount of gold purchased by the Bank yes terday was only 3,0001., but some considerable sums out of the recent Australian arrivals are expected to be sent in during the next few days. The Lanarkshire has arrived from Melbourne with 74,3001. in gold. The Glendower has like wise arrived off Falmouth from Melbourne, but has no gold on freight. The steamer Douro, from Brazil, has arrived at Lisbon with 7,7241. in gold, and would leave for Southampton at 6 p.m. on the of March. The report of the direators of the Bahia and San Francisco Railway Company (Limited), to be presented at the general meeting on the 10th inst., describes a steady increase in the traffic of the line, resulting in a balance in favour of the oom nycof 59,9051. for the half-year ended the 31st December last. The directors recommend that " from this balance a dividend for the half-year be declared of 12s. per share, making a total divi dend for the year of 6 per cent ., _ and over 5,9061. 7s. lid., part of which is w ired for the completion of the bridge s and culverts damaged by the inundation mentioned in the last report, and part for unsettled claims, against which the directors feel bound to make a reserve.' A general meeting of the City of Milan Improve manta Company (Limited) will take place on the 10th inst., when resolutions will be submitted con firmatory of those which were passed at the meet ing of the 10th March, 1866, if the necessary steps for the reorganisation of the company are then suffi ciently advanced. If that should not be the case, similar resolutions to those passed at the previous meeting will be proposed. It is understood that Mr. J. F. Wilkinson, late managing director of the Joint Stock Discount Company, has found it advisable to resign his seat at the board of the London and Venezuela Bank (Limited). Annexed is the substance of the report of the directors of the London Bank of Mexico and South America (Limited), to be presented at the second annual meeting on the 10th inst. : The directors, in presenting their report for the yearhalf ending 304 h December, 1865, have to congratulate the shareholders on the successful progress of the bank during that period. From the annexed statement of accounts it will be seen that the gross profits of the bank from lit of July to 30th December, 1865, amount to 52,5611. 113 s. 7d., and after deducting the current expenses, writing off bad debts, and carrying the sum of 10,2431. Os. 3d. to profit and loss new account for rebate on bills, there remains a net profit for the half-year of 27,860/. 19e., which, with 13,5851. 7s. 7d. brought forward from last half-year, gives an available total of net profit of 41,4461. 6s. 7d. The directors recommend that 15,000/. of this sum be appro. Cited to the payment of a dividend of 158. p er share, • at the rate of 10 per cent. per an num ; 2,1331. 12eOd. to the reduction of preliminary expetioes ; and that 20,0001. be carried to the reserve fund, which will then amount to 21,000/. • and than the balance, 4,3121. 13s. 9d., be carried forward to the current half-year sub ject to the reduction of payment of directors' and auditors' remuneration and inoome-tax. With reference to the English Convention Bonds of Mexico of 1851, we have received the following memorandum from the London Bank of Mexico and South America (limited) : The London Beak of Mexico and South America (li mited) have received adrices from Mexioo of the following receipts to date, bMr. Glennie, her Britannic Majesty's consul, on acco u n t of the dividend and sinking fund, due 4th June, 1866, on the above bonds : " Mexico, Feb. 27, 1866.

On the morning of the 30th our pasta paid a visit to General Lee, where I joined them, and we rode off together to Moss-Neck, Jack son's headquarters, a distance, as has been mentiosed, of twelve miles. We arrived about midday, and were re ceived in a small pavilion attached to the main building, where the general had been prevailed upon, at the urgent request of the owner, to take up his abode. Old Stonewall so fascinated his English visitors by his kind and pleasant manners and the resources of his conversation, that, quite against their previous intentions, they accepted his invita tion to dinner, and instead of a visit of twenty minutes, many hours were spent under :the general's roof—hours that sped so rapidly, that when Lesley bethought himself to look at his watch, it was discovered to be very near the h our when we were all expected beck to slipper with Gen. Lee. Away we Warted at full gallop ; but though our horses were urged to their topmost speed, we reached head quarters far behind our time, and the general bad long since taken his simple meal. To Lawley's excuses for our unintentional unpoliteness he laughingly replied, " Gen tlemen, I hope Jackson bas given yon a good dinner, and if so, I am very glad things have turned out as they have, for I had given the invitation without knowing the poor state of my mess provisions, and should scarcely have been able to offer you anything." The 31st was quietly spent at headquarters in the discharge of our camp duties and the enjoyment of the bright warm sunshine with which for the space of a few days the winter in Virginia favoured. Our guests accommodated themselves with admirable fad lity and good humour to the discomforts of a soldier's life, and insisted that we should not make any change for them in our ordinary routine, but let them fare as exactly as the rest.

Both had rifles, and were not quite sober. When they got about 30 yards past Cheater-place I heard the report of • rifle, and ran after prisoner, catching him at the corner of Eaton-square. He at first said be did not fire the rifle. His comrade's rifle had the muzzle stopper in it, and therefore I accused prisoner first. Colonel Baring, of No. 1, Chester-place, then came up, and prisoner acknowledged firing the rifle, saying he was very sorry for it; it was a blank cartridfe. Prisoner said when be left Brighton, there was some thing the matter with the nipple of his rifle, so he put caps on and fired them until at the third attempt it went oil.

At tideanie yesterday morning, the mloto and others on the look out swain the grestat alarm ler some of the vessels which were running for the Tyne for shelter should be driven ashore, and about 4 o'clock the reports' of three guns, one following the other rapidly, indicated that a vessel had gone whore on the south of the Tyne, and Galled up the life brigade to rescue the crew. The Tynearouth and South Shields brigades mus tered rapidly, said men might be seen running towards the mast in all directions. The vessel that bad gone ashore bad dons so at the south side of the south pier, and the violent sea had driven her well up. The South Shields brigade had the apparatus soon out, and a line was directly thrown out to the rend. A hawser was paned to the ship aed a senile wee rigged upon it, and the crew, Ave in number, with the master's wife and child, were speedily landed, the South Shields brigade winning the first laurels in saving life, in oonnenon with the crew and popular volunteer fore. The South Shields life brigade on duty was largely composed of South Shields pilots. As soon as the signal was given, another =,of the South Shields pilots manned the Tyne and were taken in tow of • steam-tug. Un fortunately, in riving down the eatery of the Tyne, the lifeboat was struck by two or three heavy was, which broke the tow line, and, before the men could ship their sere, the boat was driven with tremendous force upon the inner pi*. The men were either pitched out or had to leap for their lives, and scramble as best they could amongst the stones out of the reach of the res. They were in great peril for some time, for if the same kind of heavy sees had broken on the piers, or struck the boat, they would inevitably have been winked off and drowned. As it was, they happily escaped this great danger, and reached the, shore, some of them badly bruised. The bottom of the boat is stovo in. The vessel that is wrecked is the Tenterden, of and from Dundee, in ballast for Sunderland. Her master's name is Mr. )Way. Her Crew were will taken care of, and there are some hopes that if the weather moderats the vessel may be saved.
