SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-MuND Av. The appearance of the entries for the spring handicaps generally brings turf men together, inasmuoh as it forms at least a s•liiject for conjecture ac to the poejible and proba ble imposts which will fall to the several candidates, espe- Wally the more prominent ones. The subscription room was pretty well attended this afternoon, but the busines• feature. of the day were confined to two animals for the Derby, Rustic and Janitor. The former bad received sub. stantial support at the Victoria Club in the early part of the afternoon—having been backed foe about 5001. at 7 and 7i to 1, and at " the gate" he was again in force. The first bet booked we:. 7i fifties, but the extra half point was soon knocked off, and 7to 1 was itocepted freely to about a Couple of hundred pounds. The dubious rumours recently is circulation about Lord Lyon appeared to have rather a depressing effect upon hie lordship, who was only favoured with one small investment of a "toot'" at 8 to 1, which adds were offered right tbrougb. Reds* continues to advance by slow but rare steps. He too was wade the medium of a fairish outlay at the Club in the forenoon, at 22 to 1, but in the West Lin friend:- were content to take 20 to 1, though only to a small amount. There was • vest furore about Janitor early in the day in Wellinto•-street, where 25 to 1 was taken to 1001. about him, and at Albert-gate the same spirit of inquiry prevailed, but his intending backers failed to get es him to as much money as they would have liked at his taking price, 23 to 1, at which he was in great demand. The same odds would have been taken about Auguste to money, but layers were particularly shy in dealing with the French stable. Some three or four outsiders were introduced, which, with their peims, will be found below. _ DKRBY. 7 to 1 apt Duke of Beantmas Rustic it freely) Bto 1 Mr. R.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON RAlL WAT.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Humphreys, coroner for East Middlesex, held an inquiry at the Three Cops, High street, Bow, relative to an accident on the Hersh London Railway, by which William M'Gregor, aged 36 years, lost his lit.. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was, workman employed at the North London Railway Oompaay's works at Devon-road, Bromley. On Thursday last he proceeded to cross the line from the smith's shop, carrying in hie hands a quantity of chime for coupling irons. A good.. train coming up the line, the deceased hastily stepped on to the dowp line, and was instantly struck by the 'Amine of a down train and knocked under the ash pan. He received frightful injuries to the head and other parts of the body, and was killed on the spot. It was proved that the engine drivers did all in their power to avoid running down the deceased. The jury returned • verdict of " Accidental death." Tree LoNuns Dear:111017 sm.—At an inquest held yesterday by Dr. Lankester, at the Mitre, Upper-street, lalingtoo, the foreman of the jury called the attention of the coroner to the defective construction and bad 000dition of the dead-house in which the body lay. The coroner said with regard to the dead-houses of London, be was aware that medical men bad great difficulty io making post mortem ezamioatione in them. if good light and other 1111C41•Wil)* were not provi ded, justice justi might frequently 'miscarry through the inability of a surgeon to make • care ful poet mortem examination. The dead-houses were generally not kept clean, bad light was afforded in them, and no water wee laid on, so that really a surgeon had a most disgusting operation to go through in making • post mortem examination. It was most desirable that morquu should be established in the metro. pulls, where people could send their dead and leave them until brought to the cemetery. He felt sure such establish. meet was only consistent with their civilization, and would prevent injury being entailed on the living by allowing the dead to remain with them. He frequently sew illIA&DOIS of fathers and mothers sleeping with their dead childree, sad children lying with their dead parents. These practices were most conducive to bed health, and they also tainted the morals of the people, He was glad the foreman of the jury bad noticed the matter, and be hoped the public press would take it up. Already a memorial from the Maitre Vestry had been mat to government on the subject. ~. ~ i ~, ~r r I THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 9, 1866. BISHOP COLENSO'S BITETBN TO NATAL. (From the Times of Natal, Nov. 22, 1865.) On Sunday morning before ten o'clock Church-street presented a most unwonted appearance. Instead of its customary quietude, groups of persons were congregated at interval., several already taking up their station in front of the cathedral doors. As sous as we commenced making inquiries we ascertained that the dean had ordered the bell ropes to be taken from the bells, which are outside the building, thus causing an unusual silence. An adventurous, but somewhat rash friend of the bishop's, however, climbed up to one of the balls, and attaching a reins to it, quickly caused the customary peal to resound through the city. This, although soon stopped in some way or other, brought numbers to the spot. We were then informed that the churchwardens intended to respect the interdict, and the manner in which that w.s done it is now oar duty to record. As eleven o'clock aperoached the crowd, amongst which were a few ladies, gathered thickly in frost of the north door, the ' gates of which were still closed. At about three minutes to eleven the bishop, accompanied by his registrar, walked through another crowd assembled at the vestry door. His lordship was respectfully saluted, and repeatedly ac knowledged the welcome. We are informed that on knocking at the vestry door the dean, who was inside, wished to know who was there ; on being told " the bishop," he add there was no admittance there. Mean. time, Mr. Dickinson came out of the north door, and, standing inside the looked gates, addressed the crowd to the following effect. Hs assured them that it had been the intention of the churchwardens to close the cathedral that day, but they were compelled to bow to the highest legal authority in the colony—the Supreme Court—from which court they last night bad re ceived an interdict ; and in obedience to that document be now opened the doors, but before doing so he would , reed the protest which he and his brother churchwarden had presented on Friday to Dr. Colenso. Mr. Dickinson then read the following protest : "To John William CAleascc, D.D., by bet Majesty's letters patent Lord Bishop of Natal.—My Lord,—lnas much as your lordship has been deposed from the exercise of your office of Bishop of Natal, and as such sentence has been approved of by the Archbishops and Bishops of the united church of England and Ireland, and of many other churches throughout the world, we cannot doubt, but must, and do, rest fully assured that such sen tence is binding in the sight of Almighty God. And es the Lord Chancellor, in giving judgment on your lordship's petition, stated that The United Church of England and Ireland is not a part of the constitution in any colonial settlement, nor can its authorities, or those who tear office in it, claim to be recognised by the laws of the colony otherwise than as members of a voluntary ema ciation,' the clergy within this colony, with one exception, have refused to acknowledge your lordship as the i r spiritual head. Acd as it is within our knowledge that the coo. gregation ordinarily worshipping in this church generally concurs with the clergy, we, as wardens thereof, feel bound to refuse, and hereby do refuse, your lordship permission to exercise any spiritual functions therein. Furthermore, we solemnly warn your lordship that if, despising the sentence of the church of Christ, and this oar prohibition as wardens of this sacred building, you attempt to stand amongst us as the minister of Christ, such a prooseding can only be looked upon as an act of violence.—(Signed) 0. H. DICKINSON, SAM. WILLIAMS, Chorchwarjens of St. Peter's." Mr. Dickinson then unlocked the gates, and the crowd rushed in, filling the sacred edifice in • few moments, Whilst the crowd was arrangiog itself we noticed the Very Rev. Dean Green and the Rey. F. B. Robinson kneeling with their backs to the congregation in front of the own muoion table, which had been divested of the customary white cloth, and we also noticed that the Prayer-books and Bible ordinarily need bad also been removed. The aisle was yet choked up with people. The bishop, who, as we just now observed, had been refused an entrance at the vestry dcor, entered with the crowd at the north door, sod proceeded up the nixie. On reaching the step which raise. the chancel above the body of the cathedral, Mr. Dickinson stopped his lordship and again explained why he had opened the cathedral ; be also read the protest and the interdict again. Whilst this was going on • scene ensued which called up anything but reverential or devout feeling. We may observe that of the regular attendants at the cathedral there were but few present ; of professing cburohmen there were undoubtedly a great number • of dissenters but a sprinkling ; whilst the rest was mat t e up of those who, we are bound to say, never enter a plate of worship from one year's end to another. These chiefly consisted of animus and day labourers, many of them in their fustian and corduroys, and more than one we noticed in his shirt sleeves. These primped up close to the chancel step, and am goon as Mr. Dickinson commenced, so many of them actually stood up on the seats that those at the east end of the church could not bear a word of what was going on. After Mr. Dickinson concluded, we believe, the bishop, in a calm but dignified voice, said :—" I am come to discharge in this church and diocese the duties committed to me by the Mr. J. W. Turnbull, in his capacity as registrar to the Bishop of Capetown, then read the sentence of deprivation which had been p aved upon the Bishop of Natal by the Bishop of Capetown in the same building. The dean, who had during the proceedings turned towards the congregation, then solemnly pronounced the following adjuration :—" That which ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven. That steads ratified before the presence of the Almighty. Depart ! Go away from this House of . The bishop, however, ascended the chanted step, and the vestry door being shut, quietly robed himself, assisted by his steward, Mr. E. S. Foster; and a prayer-book which he I had brought being placed on the readiog-desk, he proceeded 1 to read the usual service. Whilst the service was going on the dean and the Rev. F. S. Robinson knelt as before until the reading of the lessons; they then stood up, still with their backs to the congregation. until the bishop walked to the communion table, when the dean took a seat on the north side of the chancel. We should mention that when his lordship commenced the service the aisle was still crowded with people standing. At the request of the bishop, several of them were seated in the chancel, but, notwithstanding this, the east end of the building was so crowded that numbers had to stand during the whole ser vice. At the end of the Litany, there being no harmonium, his lordship gave out a palm and started the tune, in which he was joined by a large part of the congregation. After read ing the communion service, the bishop amended the pulpit, and, after the usual collect, delivered, amidst the most profound silence, a discourse from the text :—" Philip i., 9, 10.—And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment, that ye may approve the things that are excellent." At the oonclaaioo of the perm n his lordship pronounced the benediction, and the congregation quietly dispersed. At the usual hour of opening the cathedral, six o'clock, there was again a large crowd against the cathedral doors. Not lees than 400 could have been present; there were more ladies than in the morning, notwithstanding a drizzling rain. There, however, seemed to be no appearance of the cathedral either being opened or lighted up, and the rain was getting very unpleasant. About 25 minutes peat 6 Mr. Dickinson came up and apologised to the crowd for the inconvenience they were put to ; he assured them that Mr. Williams had promised to have the cathedral opened and lighted at a quarter-past 6, and he could not understand why it had not been done. He repeated that the fault did not lie with him. Still no Mr. Williams appeared, and at five minutes past the hour for opening the doors the bishop came into the crowd and said that through some misunderstanding the cathedral was not opened, nor did there appear to be any likelihood of its being opened for some time, and as there were many ladies waiting in the rain he recommended them to go home, since there would be no service that evening. lie intended, however, to preach oe Sunday morning next. A large number of per eons then went away; and it subsequently ap peared that Mr. Williams turned up at about ten minutes to seven, opened the cathedral, and lighted it up. It remained so open and lighted till a quarter past seven, when the lights were extinguished, and the building cleared. We were afterwards informed that both the churchwardens bad dined with the bishop at the club, and it was there understood between them and the bishop's registrar that Mr. Williams would see that the cathedral should be opened and lighted by a quarter-past six. Why this was not does we know not, but we are bound to record that Mr. Williams's explanation is that he laid down in the afternoon, went to sleep, and forgot all about his promise to see the cathedral opened and lighted. We have not yet heard what legal steps will be taken by the dean to show cause why the interdict should not be obeyed. A SYLL NI FOR INDIGENT DEAF ♦ND DUMB CUILDRCN.—The half.yearly election took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Biabopegate-etreet, of 35 children (20 boys and 15 girls) out of a list of 73 candidates ; the Rev. John Evans in the chair. The minutes of the former court were read and confirmed. The of6oers were re-elected for the year ensuing, and the committee were also re-elected for the same period. The secretary read the account of receipts and expenditure, which pee the following results : —Total receipts (including 2,6301. 6s. 61, balance from former account), 15,234/. Da. ; disbursements. 10.1521. 13s. 2d. ; Margate estate, 2,8871. Os. 6d.: paid for 2,0001. consols, 1.7831. ; balance in hand, 410/. ss. 4d. Total. 15,2341. 19i. The committee's report for 1865 sets forth that—" The branch establishment at Margate has fully answered the expectations of the committee; and has enabled them, without overcrowding the building in Lon don, to keep pica with the increasing Dumber of candidates. There are at presort 356 pupils under instruction, who are trained up in the dutiem of a Christian life, and who, when they leave the school, are assisted in various ways to earn their future subsistence." . _ _ --- POLYNESIAN MISSIONS .—The missionary ab ip John Williams left the Downs yesterday with five ministers who have been appointed by the London Miasionstry Society to the following stations at the South Sea Islands, viz. :—The Navigator.

MORE SEVERE GALES AND LOSS OF LIFE. About riel4ilc yesterday Mrs. Harrold was about to step off the kerb in the Kenoington.road, when, from the violence of the wind, she was thrown down, and before she could re. oover herself was rue over by a horse and cab. She was immediately conveyed to Si. Thomas's Hospital, and found to be suffering from severe amanita*. A man named Healy Mould, • labourer, was at work upon a scaffold in the Root-road when, by the violence of the gale, he lost his balance and was precipitated to the ground from a height of 30 feet. On being conveyed to the hospital it was found that his heed was severely injured and two of his rite broken. Early in the morning the inmates of a cot tage in the rear of St. Thomas's Hospital were aroused by a loud crash, when it was ascertained that the front door had been completely stove in by the wind. On Clapham common • fine elm tree was snapped in two, and on Wandsworth - common much mischief was done. In the llornseproad., a cottage, the residence of Mr. Andrews, was completely unroofed. About noon one of the moat violent gusts of wind was most severely felt within • short distance of Charing-cross, compriaing among other damages the entire destruction of the roof and a considerable portion of the house, No. 8, Arundel-wart, Haymarket, which is the property of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. One of the London District Telegraph wires which crossed Parliament street, near the Red Lion public-house, was snapped off from one of the standards. It happened, however, not to have come in contact with any person or vehicl e, although it caused considerable alarm. Yesterday a violent gale swept round the castle and town of Windsor during the morning. The Thames, owing to the heavy rains, has risen rapidly, and in many places partly flooded the land upon its banks. At two o'clock the water rushing through the arches of Windsor-bridge preeentadMie aspect of • miniature sea, so:rough and turbulent was the flow of the river. On the Bucks shore of the Thames, near the South Western Railway bridge, a portion of the land is under water. At Wraysbury there is also a good deal of water oat. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. A terrific gale from the W.N. W. has again swept 1 over this port, and at present it would be premature to arrive at any conclusion as to the extent of the damage done, but we fear that for the next few days the disasters to shipping in the Channel will be great, as on Saturday and yesterday a large number of ships sailed from the Money with • fair wind. About three o'clo.ik this morning the wind chopped round from the S.W. to the W.N.W., when a heavy gale sprung up, and raged with but slight cessations all day. At an early hour the American ship J. F. Foster, jan., outward bound to New York, dragged her anchors in the river, and was driven ashore in Bootle Bay. The Souderborg ship Trite'', Captain Nielson, arrived here from New York, reports terrible weather in the Atlantic. On the 23rd December, when in let. 39.30, long. 49.30, he fell in with the Ameri can ship Tigress, boned from Novara, West Indies, to Hull, with a cargo of guano, in a disabled and &inking con dition. Captain Nielson at once hove to, and after com musicatiag with the captain of the Tipess, remained by the sinking ship, and eventually rescued the captain and crew, nineteen in all, and brought them safe to Liverpool. While the Triton was hove to by the Tigress there was • fearful sea running, notwithstanding which not a soul was lost, Additional accounts of the disasters consequent on the gales of last week have been received. The ship J. S. de Wolf has been towed into Newry, with loss of sails, bul warks, and decks swept. Advises front Colony state that the barque Pa amount, from Galveston, with cotton, is ashore, dismasted ; the Delia is at the same place water logged ; the St. George, from Quebec to the Bntish Chan nel, is a total wreck near the Paramount ; • large ship went ashore on the 29th of December, and became • total wreak, and the crew are reported to hays perished, the name of the ship has not yet been ascertained ; and the New York packet-ship, Guy Mannering, from New Yak to Liverpool, has become a total wreck near lona, and it is reported that about 1G of the crew of the ill-fated ship have been lost. The American ship, J. P. Wheeler, is ashore in Oboe Bay, in a very damaged state ; and the ship La Gloire, from St. John's, has been compelled to seek shelter in Queenstown harbour, with loss of fore and main masts. Concerning the fate of the Bed Jacket, we regret to say that doubts are expressed as to her safety. A dee patch received here from Ballinskellegs Bay, county Kerry, states that seven casks of palm oil and a life buoy, marked " Red Jacket, Liverpool," have been washed ashore in the ba7, but nothing has been heard of either the crew or the ship. The James F. Foster, jun., mentioned abovelas having gone ashore in Bootle Bay, ha. been towed off and taken into the graving dock. The latest deices brought from Mobile by the Java state that a terrible storm had raged there for some days. All the lighters in the harbour had been sunk and quantities of cotton destroyed. The ship Boger A. Heine, which went ashore on the sandbank at the entrance to Mobile harbour, is likely to become • total wreck. A large number of vessels lying in the bay had also been roughly handled, but no lives are reported lost. On other ' parts of the American coast the storm has been equally severe, and several vessels had been driven ashore on the southern coast end wrecked. lAccordieg to the observations a Me. nertrup, alto Liverpool distr....user. the &mowers during the present gale averaged from 25 to 301bm. to the square foot, and in one furious blast reached 1.4. This is • heavier pressure for a longer period than has been known before, though in one short squall daring the week the pressure amounted to 321bs. CHATHAM, JAN. 8. Throughout the day and up to this evening it has been blowing • strong gels from the southward and westward, accompanied by • heavy fall of rain, the wind occasionally having the force of a hurricane. A large fleet of outward bound vessels have taken up their position inside the entrance to the harbour, where they are wait. ing the gale moderating. For several hours during the height of the gale communication between the shore and the vessels of war has been suspended. Some anxiety was entertained for the safety of the paddle-wheel steamer Medusa, 6, Master-Commander T. Potter, which left this port ou Saturday for Plymouth, with the boys sad lads of the 'Wellesley, 72, for the Ganges, Si, as it was apprehended she might have enoonntered the fury of the gale in mid-channel. Intelligence was, however, received to-day of her safety. At the time of sending off this despatch the barometer was 2&90, being a nee of one fifth since the morning, while the gale appears to be moderating. NEW LIFEBOATS FOR NORTHUMBERLAND. —Two fine new lifeboats, each thirty-four feet long, and built of solid mahogany, accompanied by transporting carriages, have just been out by the National Lifeboat Institution to Hauxley sod Newbiggin, on the oust of Northumberland. Their self-righting qualities were fully and satisfactorily tested a few days siooe, in the Regent's Canal dock. The transporting carriages of the boats were also tried on the occasion and were found to answer admirably. The cost of the Hauxley lifeboat was presented to the institution by Eleanor, Duchess of Northumberland, and it is called the Algeroon and Eleanor. The Newbiggin lifeboat is also the gift of • benevolent lady named Miss Hopkinson, of Brig house, Yorkshire, through Mr. W. Anderson Ogg, of Cheapside. The lifeboat is named the William Hopkinsoo, of Be ighouse, after the donor's late brother of that name. These two lifeboat establishments will, we trust, long remain monuments of the two philanthropic ladies. The Hauxley lifeboat is to be publicly launched to-morrow (Wednesday) and the Newbiggin lifeboat is to undergo the same ceremony on Saturday next. The National Lifeboat Institution has now 153 lifeboats in connexion with it. Of these 23 are stationed on the north-east chest, namely : , Northumberland, Berwick-on-Tweed, Holy Island, North Sunderland, Boulmer, Unmoutb, Huxley, Newbiggin, Cuffercoata, Tynemouth No. 1, Tynemonth No. 2 Dur ham, Whitburn, Sunderland, Seaton-Carew, Yorkshire ; Middlesborough, Redcar, Saltburn, Whitby, Upgaag, Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Homes, and Withernsea. A SHIP BLOWN TO PIEt:E.S. —On Friday evening an explosion of Shutt= coal gas occurred on board the brig Euphemia, of West Hartlepool, lying in the Victoria Dock, Hartlepool. Tho concussion shook the whole neighbour. hood, was heard for miles around, and the shipping in the docks were for the moment illuminated with sunlight bril liancy from the volume of flame produced. The citcum steams connected with the disaster are these. About seven o'clock the brig Euphemia, Captain Bayfleld, of West Hartlepool, was lying in one of the tiers in the Victoria Dock, having got ready to put to sea. The vessel had taken in a cargo of Shotton gas soil for France, and the hatches were all battened down. In con sequence of the absence of one of the crew, the ar. raugements for departure were tioavading, and the vessel had to be moored to the tier spin. In order to do this two of the crew got into the boat with a rope, while the rest were engaged in the aft part of the vessel with another rope, excepting an apprentice, named Alexander Kees, who was standing amideltips. The captain, William Bayfleld, was down in the cabin, locking all up, as he pur posed going ashore. At this period the explosion took place. The apprentice was blown over into an adjoining ship, the decks of the vessel from one end to the other were all torn up, and portions of them blown over the topmasts of the ship. rbe yards were covered with inden tations made by the broken timber, and a shower of coal which was consequent upon the explosion. AU the crew who were aft escaped without any injury, but the captain and Kean were not so fortunate. As the flames burnt upwards Kean was much exposed to their influence, and was severely burnt about the face, forehead, arms, and hands. He was immediately taken to Mr. Stamp, surgeon, who dressed his injuries, and he was afterwards removed to the hospital. On Saturday be was suffering very much, but there are hopes of his ultimate recovery. The captain was blown down by the force of the explosion; the cabin was one sheet of flame, and the fire burst through the cabin skylight., which were smashed to pieces. The injuries the captain received were not so serious as those of the boy, although he is badly burnt about the exposed parts. The vessel, so far as her deck is concerned, is • total wreck. The planking is torn up in every direction, and in addition to large portions which remained in the rigging entangled, great nullities were blown into the dock. CRYSTAL PALACE.. ONE SHILLING DAY.

Alfred Hcnry Haines, 19, clerk, pleaded guilty to two indictments chargieg him with forging aid uttering two cheques for 1101. aid U.reepectivaly, with intent to defraud the Bank of London. . Mr. Sleigh, wbo appeared for the prosecution, stated that the prisoner was is the servios of a gentleman named Chip chase, who kept an amount with the above bank, and it appeared that he had obtained possession of a number of blank cheques, which he afterwards filled up for different amounts. He contrived to evade discovery for a con siderable time by taking the forged cheques that had been paid out of the prosecutor's pass-book, and destroying them. Dating a period of more than twelve months the prisoner seemed to have carried on a regular system of forging cheques for 'mall amounts, and in consequence of the forged cheques being destroyed as above stated no discovery took place, and it was not until the prosecutor found that his money standing to his ac count was considerably less than it ought to bays been that inquiries were instituted and the forgeries were dis covered. The Common Serjeant told the prisoner that he had been li guilty of a very serious offence, and he sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for five years. Charles Company Cooper, • respectable-looking man, described as 27 years of age, and by profession • clerk, re minded from last session, was indicted for embezzling three several sums of 91. 15e., of 221. 121., and of 18/., the moneys of Thomas Vaughan Morgan and others, his masters and employers. Mr. Serjeant Robinson (specially retained). with whom was Mr. Poland, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Montagu Williams conducted the defaces. The prosecutors carry on thelbusinese at Battersea known an the Patent Plumbeio Crucible Company, and early in January, 1863, the prisoner was engaged by them as tra veller in the northern districts. His salary was at first N., then raised to 41., and afterwards augmented to 5/. par week, exclusive of his travelling expenses, and his duties were to receive moneys from the customers of the firm, and to remit the amount en the Tuesday of each week. The prisoner, as alleged, received the three sums mentioned in this indictment, for which he soner, who resided at Manchester, warn called up to London to explain the circumstances, and the result was that he was given into custody on the charge of embezzlement. The defence set up was that prior to this charge the pri soner. as admitted by the prosecutors, had by his exertions increased the business of the firm by upwards of 4,000/. per annum, and that the prosecutors had treated the matter as • debtor and creditor account, and that the prosecutors held the security of a bill of sale of the pri soner's furniture, besides a bond of the Norfolk Estuary Company for 250/. Mr. B. Williams made an able appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The jury, after • consultation of ten minutes, returned • verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then given in charge to the jury on another indictment, for embezzling three several sums of 221. 125., of 19/. 195., and of 181., the moneys of the seine prosecutors, his masters and employers. Mr. Serjeant Robinson and Mr. Poland again appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. M. Williams for the prisoner. The facts were similar to the previous one, with the ex ception that the prisoner kept back all knowledge of the transaction with their customers, and did not supply any information as to the payments by them of the several sums mentioned in the indictment. --- Th. jury retired, and after an absence of • quarter of an hour returned • verdict of Guilty, accompanied with • recommendation to mercy. The Common-Serjeant said he and the alderman who at with him (Sir R. W. Carden') considered the pre sent to be a very serious and aggravated case. The prose cutors had behaved with greet lenity and forbearance towards the prisoner, and, under all the circumstances, the court felt th►t it could not pass a less sentence than seven years' penal servitude. George Loresby Worth, who was convicted at the No vember sessions of obtaining by fraud from the Smith Eastern Railway Company • large sum of morey, under the false presence that his brother had sustained injuries at the melancholy accident which took place some time since in the Blackheath tunnel of the company, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Mac rae Moir for the prisoner. The prisoner put in several written documents, which the Common Ssrjeaot said he would peruse, and pass sen , tenoe to-morrow (this) morning, but it having been inti mated that another indictment on a similar point would be preferred at the next sessions of the court, the senteoce wee again postponed until that indictment was disposed of at the next erosions. Charles Godden, 17, described as a servant, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing six rings, of the value of 100!., the property of Sir William De Bathe, hie master. It appeared from the evidence of Captain De Bathe that the prisoner bad been in the service of the prosecutor as Nc tap to shoot tbsoo month. agn, when ha save warning eava and did in oonsequence leave the service. After he had left the articles of jewellery were found to be miss ing from a drawer in a bureau in the prosecutor's bedroom, the drawer presenting appearances of harlot been forced open with a chisel or some such instrument. The prisoner bad been in the service of Sir Harry Jones, and had hitherto borne a good character. The Common Serjeant sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour io the House of Correction for nine calendar months. George Pe!free, 22, labourer, pleaded guilty to an indict ment for burgl►ry in the dwelling.hnuse of Robert Ent wistle, and stealing a salt•oellar and other articles, his property. The prisoner was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) This court wan occupied during the day in trying prose cutions instituted by the authorities of the Mint for uttering counterfeit coin. The counsel appearing forthe prosecutions were Mr. Craufurd. Mr. Coleridge, and Mr. Poland. None of these cases presented any feature of novelty oe interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. BEOOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) James Cau, 30, desribed as a tailor, was indicted for an assault upon Colonel Richardson Gardner, and also with attempting to rob him. To this the prisoner pleaded not guilty. Colonel Richardson Gardner said that on the 2Sth of December he was at Ealing raw, and was near the Grand Stand. While he was there he looked down and saw a hand on his watch chain. He had ridden down to Ealing, and bad on a riding ooat which exposed his watch chain. He saw the hand grasping the watch chain. and followed it to the owner, who was the prisoner. He charged the prisoner with attempting to steal his watch. which he denied and said it was the pressure of the crowd that caused his hand to be near him (the prosecutor). The prosecutor remarked that the pressure of the crowd would not bring his hand round his watch chain, and that he should give him into custody. The prisoner tried to get away, but the prosecutor seized hold of him with his right hand, but in consequeooe of his left arm being disabled he was obliged to let the prisoner go. The prisoner then ran away, and was caught by the prosecutor and given into cus tody just as he was getting over a table. The jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Payne asked if anything was known of the prisoner. Mr. Edwin Courthope said he was a detective officer, and on the 9th Feb., DM, the prisoner was tried at that court before his lordship (Mr. Payne) in the name of James Allen for attempting to steal • watch, and was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. On the 4th Sept., 1863, witness was on duty at Portsmouth during the time of the visit of the French fleet, and took the prisoner into custody for picking pockets, and he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Lockyer, prison officer, maid the prisoner had surg i M e three months' imprisonment besides. Another constable, named Fall, of the G division, said he had had the prisoner in custody at Brighton on Easter Monday last on a charge of picking pockets, when be was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Another co n stable was about to say something which occurred at Leeds, when Mr. Payne said that if the prisoner had been convicted of a felony he would go into ell those previous convictions, because then it would be a question of penal servitude ; but as it was only a misdemeanour, viz., an attempt to steal, him mind was made op. The sentence of the court upon ham sou that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. The prisoner —Oh ! two years-1 would as soon have been hanged.

THE SPRINO CIRCUITS.—On the 18th instant the judges of the common law courts will meet in the Court of Exchequer, and choose their spring circuits. THE AUSTRIAN TREATY AND THE DUTIES ON Write AND CORN.—At the meeting of the Council of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Mr. Prange, in answer to a question upon this subject, said it was wi dowhood that the Austrian tariff question would be con sidered in it. details by a committee to meet at Vienna in March. The principle agreed to by Austria wee that no import duty on British articles into Austria should exceed 25 per oent, ad valorem, but as the weight system wee to be attained , it was obvious that in fixing the ad valorem rate great caution would have to be exercised, because the value of all textile fabrics was now much above their normal prices, and a duty axed now might prove exorbitantly high before many years were over. As regarded the wish of Austria for a reduction of our duties on wine and corn, it was reported that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was willing to meet those wishes by fixing the duty on wine at ls. per gallon in casks and bottles alike, but whether the entire abolition of the corn duty was contemplated remained to be ease. Di:roans ON Pamirs Blue.--Saturday is tbe last day for the deposits on railway bills to be made in the Court of Cheneery. The 14th instant is the day appointed, but that day falling this year on a Sunday the &pasha utast be ooncluded on the previous day. THE POLICE COURTS- MA 2iSION•HOUSE. Henry Leuer, a respeetabledooking youth, only seventeen years old, was charged with uttering a forged cheque foe 2.51. 51. 6d. upon the London Joint Stock Bank, with intent to defraud. Mr. A. H. Clarke, the solicitor to the bank, attended in support of the charge ; Mr. L. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis. of Ely-place, appeared for the prisoner. The evidence, which wee only partially gone into, went to show that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner went to the bank and presented a cheque for the amount above men tioned, which purported to be signed by Messrs. Levy Brothers, of Hound/ditch. The clerk to whom the cheque was presented entertained some doubts as to the genuine ness of the signature, and the prisoner was asked if he had brought the cheque from Mews. Levy. and he said he had received it from them on the previous day. He was then told that there was some irregularity in the sig nature, and asked if be bad any objection to accompany one of the clerks to Mews. Levy's, and at first he expressed his willingness to do so. When ha got into the street, how ever, be told the clerk who was going with him that be was a commission agent, and that be had an important appoint ment at the West-end, and be would rather leave the cheque at the bank until the following Monday. The clerk refused to allow him to go away, and they both proceeded to Messrs. Levy's, where it was ascertained that the cheque was • forgery, and it also turned out that the prisoner had been in the service of the Messrs. Levy, as a clerk, for about three years. Upon the prisoner being taken into custody, be said to the officer that it was of no eel telling any Hee about it, sad the tact was that he found the cheque in the water-closet, and as he was passing the bank he was tempted to pre sent it. The prisoner was remanded. BOW-STIZET. Samuel Ca!more a little boy about eleven years of age , wee placed at the bar charged with beggieg of the Marquis of Townshend. The noble prosecutor deposed that on Saturday evening, at about a quarter-past 4 o'clock, the prisoner begged of him in Carlton-terrace. He said he bad so father, no mother, sod no friends in the world ; also, that he had slept in the streets for twelve months. Witness did not believe him, especially as he refused to go into the workhouse, and thought it would be best for the boy to give him into cus tody, so that he might be sent to a school. John Steele, 185 A, who took the prisoner into custody, said he had made inquiries and toned that the prisoner was living with his mother, who was now in court. Susan Catmore said she was the prisms?. mother. Her husband was dead. She got her living by chasing and washing. Did not know he had gone out to beg. He bad been in place till about six weeks back. He was a very good boy when in place, and always brought his wages home. He had never brought her home any mosey that he had got by bagging. Hs had no occasion to beg. He had never slept in the streets. He had left his place because his master could sot afford to keep him any longer. Mr. Vaughan said the prisoner must either have been sent out to beg and instructed to tell this story, or else he must be an adept in falsehood. Mr. Vaughan asked the prisoner if be had anything to say, upon which he began to cry, but made no answer. Mr. Vaughan—Why did you say that you had no father nor mother, and that you slept in the streets? Prisoner—f deo% know, air. Mr. Vaughan remanded him, directing the police to make inquiries as to the truth of the mother's statement'. WORSHIP-STREET, Arthur Henry Wools,, 22 _ ea of age, residing at Eagles-home, Well-street, Hackney, and described as • straw bonnet manufacturer ; Samuel Edwards, 40, King Edward's-road, Hackney,"gentleman,"and Edwin Jefferson, of 04k Villu, Victoria-park-road, Hackney, "gentleman," were brought before Mr. Cooke, charged with cruelly tor timing three cats by killing the same with two dogs. Police-constable Here, 182 N, deposed—About half-past 12 o'clock on the night of Saturday last, while on duty in Church-street, Hackney, I saw the prisoners coming to wards me, and beard a eat making a cry, helloing ; as the prisoners passed me, Edward' said te Wooley, " I wish I had your dog at my home, he might kill plenty of cats there." After proceeding a little distance I heard another oat hello._ Mr. Safford, (clerk)—As in pain' Witosss—Yee, sir. I followed and beard them eel the dogs on another cat. Mr. Safford—ln what way—describe it. Witness—By making a hissing noise, and saying, " Shake it." Oo hastening up I sew one of the dogs killing a cat in the toad. I asked, " Who bikinis to the dogs'" and they each denied being the owner, but Mr. Wooley after wards said, "They are mina." Another constable came op and the three gentlemen were taken into custody. Another cat was found dead on oar way to the station , end one of the dogs brought a third nearly dead in his mouth. One of the cats was very bully torn about. Crosseexamined by Mr. Vann—The prisoners were going towards Wellotrset. One dog was behind and the other before teem. The three prisoners .ere standing on the foot-path when I reached them. I did not hear them call the dogs off. They were 150 yards or about it from me when I beard them setting the dogs oa. Other evidence was then given in rapport of the charge. Mr. Cooke, in dealing with the case, said-1 have no doubt of the facts. If the prisoners bad been simply walk ing together without intent to commit cruelty, and had, when accidentally there was occasion for interference, re strained, or tried to restrain, the doge, they would not then have been criminally responsible, although they might civilly be so to the owners of the cats; but it is very different. By the evidence of three witnesses it is clearly shown they all incited the dogs to kill at least one cat, and I order each to pay a penalty of 405., or to be imprisoned 21 days. The fine was paid. The act empowers three months' imprisonment without fine. 311:11DER TRIAL IN SCOTLAND.— Brown, mateof the schooner Nymph, of Mullins., win yesterday found guilty of the murder of the esptain off the Forfarshire coast Sentence was delayed, the plane of execution being unde cided. THE MCRDERERN UNDER SENTENCE OP DEATH. In the case of the murderer John Jamieson, who was sentenced at the Glasgow Winter Circuit Court to be hanged on the 17th inst. for the murder of a woman who bad refused to keep company with him, but who was recommended to mercy by the jury, that recommendation has been forwarded to the Home-office, sod referred back for report, as usual in such cases, to the learned judge who tried the ow. With reference to the murderer Forward (or Southey. as he prefers being called), some very considerable efforts are being made in his behalf. Mr. C. E. Gold, of the firm of Gold and Son, solicitor*. of Berianntle-inc. Chancery-lane, applied to Mr. Waddiegtoo on Satur day, with a view of obtaining, with Mr. E. T. Smith and Mr. It. Blake Steele, the counsel who appeared at the trial, an interview with the Home Secretary, to place some additional facts "oefore him with regard to the insthity of the culprit ; but it is understood that Sir George Grey has declined to grant an interview, and Mr. Gold therefore left Landon last evening in order to obtain from the visiting justices of the prison the necessary certificate under the 27th and 28th Vict., cap. 29, which can alone authorise the Home Secretary to issue a commission to investigate the prisoner's state of mind. Independently of this action, which it is said wi ll be supported by Viscount Harding. and other magistrate., an application will be made to the Attorney-General to issue his flat for an arrest of judgment, on the legal ground to be submitted to th e Court of Criminal Appeal, that the learned judge tried the prisoner wrong fully; that the question of insanity ought to have been decided first, so that the prisoner's election to defend him. self might have been granted had the jury pronounced him to be of sane mind. Should these endeavours on the part of the defence prove ineffectual, the miserable man will be executed at Maidstone on Thursday, at 12 o'clock. . • BCRKING REVIVED.—An attempt at " burking" was made in this town on Saturday. The servant girl of Mr. T. G. Sbuttleworth, of 22, George•street, and Upper Otford•street, was passing between Burlingtoo•street and Bond-street, about 6 o'clock in the evening, when she was stopped by a man, who placed over her mouth a plaster of pitch or coal tar, and then laid hold of her. What bis precise object was does sot appear, as she managed to release herself and give an alarm, upon which the men ran away into a dark part of the street, and got clear off. The girl was able to give a description of hie dress to the polies, but up to the present time he has not been foand.—Shelfeld Independent FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An inquiry was held yesterday at the Twyford Arms, Twyford-street, Caledonian-road, by Dr. Lankester, relative to the death of James Legg. aged 36, a shouter on the Great Northern Railway. Eli Aldridge deposed he was an engine shooter, and saw the deceased attaching a waggon behind the break von of • train, when one of the buffers overrode the other, and the deceased was caught by the head stocks. One of the trucks was loaded and the other was empty, and the springs of the loaded one were lowered • good deal. Mr. Williams, of the Great Northern Company, explained that the loaded waggon, the buffers of which were of unequal height with the second waggon, be longed to the London and North Western Railway. The Coroner remarked that although the occurrence in the present case was a novel one, be thought it was obeli lately essential that there should be uniformity in the height of the buffers, and he also considered Users should be some supervision to prevent trucks being overloaded. Mr. Williams said the inspector of waggoos had taken the loaded truths from the oentre of the train to the rear, is order to prevent accident. Mr. W. A. Bryan, having deposed that the deceased died from rupture of the spleen and liver, the jury Mimed • verdict of "Accidental death," and suggested that the railway company should observe uniformity in the height of their buffers.
