4 THE DEATH OF THE PAUPER FELLOWES TITE LATE STORM AND GALES. Serious accounts of the damage done by the late heavy falls of soo w sod gales matinee to be received from the pro. Tinos', not the lead antenget which is the fall of a bridge on the London, Chatham, sad Dover Railway, reported In another column, and the accident to • lifeboat at Yarmouth. A correspondent, writing from Windsor last night, says that owing to the sudden melting of she immense quantities of snow which had fallen during the late snowstorm, sad the subsequent rains, the body of water is the Thames has been greatly swollen—the river, which has been rising higher almost daily, has at last extensively flooded a greet portion of the land upon its banks. The rise has encroached upon the Home Park and Eaton Playing.liekls, while much land is wider water between the railway bridge and Detchel. In the vicinity of the Wrayebury station of the South Western lino large tracts are inundated, and the same is the cue on Stains s Moor. At Twickenham the waters of the Coins had flooded the adjacent land on both sides of the railway near the.station, while for a time between Twick- I enham and the Coluervative Society's estate the trains bad to run through water that had encroached upon the rails. The traffio on the Bristol and Exeter Railway has been interrupted • short distance below Collumpton, in conse. l quorum of the flooding of a river at that place. The fall of snow in Devonshire has been very heavy, and the sudden thaw which has eel La has awed an accumulation of water in all the rivers and streams. At the partionhir spot In question the river was crossed by a wooden bridge, over which the train leering Exeter at 3.20 passed in safety. On the next up train, that leaving Exeter at 4.15 a.m., arriving at the bridge, the water had ries to nth a height over the bridge as to extinguish the engine fires and to bring the train to a sudden standstill The paseengers were all got out in safety, but the engine and train up to &Pulley night had not been removed, and a portion of the line has been washed away. All trail, across the bridge is entirely suspended, sad is likely to continue so for acme days. The "fast" down train leaving Bristol at 2.30 p.m. re. turned in the evening with ems of its pasesogers, stopping at Bridgwater, from which place intelligence of the occur tens was telegraphed to Bristol, all telegraphic communi. cation with Bristol and the metropolis being also inter- rupted from all stations below, in consequence of the wires being broken in the late gale. is the absence of any intaL ligsuce from below Collumpton it is anticipated that similar damage may have been occasioned to the bridges on the line. GREAT YARMOUTH, SATURDAY Evwxa. A dreadful accident occurred to the Gerleitose lifeboat Rescuer this afternoon, resulting in the lose of twelve hardy beachrom. It seems that a brig was observed pass. ing through the roadstead with sigmas of distress hoisted. Two of the Gorlestone lifeboats, the Reamer sod the Friend of All Nations, which belong to private companies, and not to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, were immediately launched, and they proceeded under sail out of the harbour towards the roadstead. Each boat was manned by about 16 men, the Rescuer being under the command of Coxswain Robert Spilling. There was a strong breeze from the &S.W., and a heavy sea rolled over the bar, a spot at all times very dangerous, bat more particularly so at lOW tide. At the time the boats left the piers the tide was at three. quarters ebb. The Friend of all Nations by beating to leeward got out to sea, bat the Rescuer caught upon the bar and instantly capsized, turning bottom upwards. Four men oat of the sixteen forming ber crew managed to scramble oat and to hold on to the boat, bat the other twelve remained under it. The accident had been observed from the piers, which were crowded with spectators, and the utmost distress prevailed. The Friend of all Nations bore down with a view of rescuing their comrades, but by the time they reached the soma of the catastrophe the twelve men under the capsized boat bad sunk to rise no more, and the four others before re. (erred to only were saved. Even these poor fellows being in a very exhausted state when landed. At the time of the accident the ill-fated men wore their usual heavy dress and am boots, so that in a rough sea there eau but little chance of their escape with life. The names of the men saved are : Woods, jun., Austin, Warner, sen., and Palmer. The names of the drowned men are JanissWoods, Charles Woods, Edward Woods (father of Woods, 1 11 1 1 .) Aodrew Welton, Abel Newsome, Christopher While? Christopher Parker, William Dawkins, Robert Spilling' William Manthorpe, James Fleming, and Benjamin Harris. They leave eight widows and 27 children (in a destitute condition) to deplore their lass. The Rescuer was built in and in nut on. the self-righting principle. The boat drifted later in the afternoon on to the beach. The heart• rending occurrence has created a profound sensation in the town. _ _ LOWESTOFT, JAL 13, Evzrnia. The brig Billy, of Whitby, with coal, struck off South weld at 11 o'clock this morning during continued stormy weather. and the crew were all drowned. The small boat of the brig and the dead body of one of her crew were washed ashore. Efforts were made by the Southwold lifeboat crew and by the coast-guard to rescue the crew of the brig, but without avail. There was a terrific sea on in Southwold Bay to-day. The wind to-day blew heavily from the south-west, and at noon increased to a furious hurricane with a tremendou s sea runnicg. Atdaylight a fine brig was observed on the Holm Sand, when the yawl Young Prince was launched and proceeded to her aid ; but the crew Muria& to leave the vessel, she returned to the shore as the gale increased. Shortly-afterwards a second and more powerful yawl, the Albatross, was launched and proceeded to the brig ; but the wind and sea having much increased, the men in the yawl were unable to obtain communication with the ill-fated vessel, cud were compelled to return to the shore to ensure 'their own safety. Although the brig was at a distance of two miles from the shore, terrific seas were distinctly observed to be breaking completely over her. The beach men, with characteristic bravery and at, great risk, at 9.45 2.m., launched the lifeboat supplied to Lowestoft by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution ; and with Captain Symons, chief of the coast-guard at the port, on board, they proceeded to the assistance of the brig, in tow of the Harbour Company's tug Raiubow. At times both lifeboat and tug were tossed high by the foam ! iog waves, and the next moment they sank deep in the trough of the sea, so as to be 'earthly visible from the shore. The lifeboat having approached within a short distance of the brig, let go her anchor and wore away her cable. The crew of the brig had in the meantime, in order to sus her, out away her roasts, but there was such • fearful sea on, that the lifeboat with her gallant crew were unable to get near the wreck. Several of the lifeboat's crew were nearly washed overboard, and in order to insure their own safety they were compelled to cut their cable and leave the doomed ship. The lifeboat was then again taken in tow by the Rainbow (which had re maioed near her so as to be able to render assistance), and brought into the harbour. A fresh cable and anchor having been supplied to her, she proceeded a I second time in tow of the Rainbow to the scene of the calamity. tire wreck was by this time scarcely visible, but the lifeboat was wore down as near as possi ble to it, and the noble daring of the gallant beachmen was partially crowned with success, seven of the helpless crew of the brig being saved. The lifeboat did not reach the brig this time a moment too soon, for the crew were being gradually washed from her. Six of them, with the mate, wore picked up, but the captain and three hands were drowned. A Falmouth pilot who had been on board the brig was also picked up, but in an insensible state, and the poor fellow died before the lifeboat reached the shore. The wreck proved to be the Austrian brig Osep, Captain Giuseppe Descovich, of Fiume. She was bound from Falmouth for Hartlepool, with • crew of eleven hands, and a Falmouth pilot. The survivors were lauded here about 5 p.m.. and were at ono" taken to the Sailors' Home, where they received every attention from Mr. F. Worthington, surgeon, and others. The poor fellows were supplied with warm clothing, re fresbments, Sc. , and one, being much exhausted, was put to bed. Credit is due to Captain Rivera, the harbour. master, for the promptitude with which the tog Rainbow was sent out ; and the gallantry and perseverance displayed by the crews of the lifeboat aryl the tug duringseveral trying hours cannot be spoken of too highly. A telegram from Boulogne states that the brig St. George, of Guerniey, was cast ashore there yesterday morning, and all hands were supposed to be lost. [Advertisement.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.

Accompanied by the Rev. Septimus Hansard, the rector of Bethnal-green, and another gentleman who is one of the guardians of its poor, we visited this workhouse on Saturday. Every facility was given 132. We saw the ward in which Fellowes died, the bed from which he fell, the labour superintendent who locks the door at night and opens it in the morning, and the pauper wardsman who was called in to pronounce whether the rigid figure on the door was dying or dead. Oar first task was to ascertain the constitution of the visiting committee, our second to inspect the book in which their weekly certificate should be recorded. In accordance with the published orders of the Poor-law Board, the guardians appoint members of their own body to act as a committee of inspection, taking the duty in turns, and some two hours and a ball are spent every Thursday in going through the house. It should be here mentioned that the Bethnal-greeu workhouse is one of the best buildings of the kind in London, that it seems scru pulously clean, that its rooms and corridors are lofty and airy, and its yards and courts unusually good. There are some 1,300 men, women, and children living in it, and the wants, comforts, and necessaries of these are supplied—as in all workhouses--by the master and his officials, who are amenable to the guardians and the Poor law Board. This weekly visit by a committee is held to ensure proper treatment of the paupers, and a codified series of printed questions, to which 4 ` Yes " or "No" input is writing, should be signed each week by those who have gone round. It was saddening to read at Bethnal-green the written monosyllabic answers, and to find the signatures to have been given with unbroken regularity. Each page of the book is filled up in perfect order, the Yes" and "No" following each other like a column of figures constantly duplicated. The attendance of the medical officer, the proper tending of the sick, and the efficiency of the nurses, are all vouched for repeatedly, and on paper, and but for our knowledge of the circumstances of Fellowes' death, nothing would seem wanting in the treatment of the sick and suffering poor. Wards 28 and 29 are two long rooms connected by a door, fitted up with iron bedsteads which are well appointed, and, apart from the bareness inse parable from hospital, barrack, or workhouse chambers, are not uncomfortable. Like the rest of the workhouse they are wonderfully clean, not a speck being visible on the well-scrubbed floors or the recently whitewashed walls and ceiling. The narrow single beds stand so closely to each other that there seems barely room for a sleeper to fall between them as Fellowes did. The pauper wards man, Bradley, sleeps in the room next the one in which the death took place, and strange to say con tradicts flatly land in two important particulars the evidence reported to have been given at the in quest. He now asserts that he is always supplied by the labour superintendent with a candle and the means of procuring a light ; and he only did not knock because he saw that Fellowes was quite dead, and "it was uo use disturbing Mr. Pearce to bring back life to a dead man." It will be remembered that among the most shocking facts put forward at the inquest were that these two rooms full of old paupers were locked up in darkness, that they only got a light, when Fellowes tumbled on the floor, through one of their number having secreted a match, and that no attempt to procure assistance was made " because no one could hear, and it would only have been making a noise for nothing." Assuming, as we are bound to do, the statements made to us to be correct, a light was never wanting in case of dire emergency, and no one was roused because this pauper wardsman considered himself justified in pronouncing Fellowes to be dead. On one of our party pressing him on this point, and asking how he knew so certainly that life had tied, the answer was not satisfactory. " Was the body Cold 1" was repeated. "Yes, it were, his feet ware quite cold !" a reply which will probably be thought less &brio lutely conclusive than the poor old speaker seemed to think. But the most painfully suggestive circumstance is to come. The bells in these rooms are out of order from white-washing, and no communication ! can be made by them. But there are street knockers ou each of the doors—one of them at the head of the bed occupied by Feilowes—by means of which the labour-superintendent, or the master himself, could have been easily roused. We went to the door above and to the fluor below, we stood on the staircases and in distant corridors while these knockers were used, and in all places the sound from them reverberated like cannon. In other chambers on the same floor the bells were similarly out of order, and there were no knockers on the doors, but, wonderful as it may seem, in the one where Fellowes died the method of zommuni eating with the rest of the house is now so noisily efficient that it is difficult to understand bow the statement " no one could have heard" found its wa7 into print and has remained uncontradicted until That a considerable number of the sick paupers in this workhouse are sent into the regular wards to sleep, though kept in the infirmary and on sick diet during the day, and that the nurse Eason sends sway those whom she considers to be best able to bear the change, is true and is a serious stigma on the efficiency of the visiting com mittee. The sleeping wards are locked at night, and kept unlit, as we were told, "by order of the Poor-law Board," and their inmates are practically left for some eleven hours out of the twenty-four to the control of such paupers as Bradley, who is seventy years of age, and who, though vouched for as "trustworthy," is, to put it unequal to the casualties and emergencies almost certain to arise when a number of old people are locked up for the night. . . „, We find in the orders of the Poor-law Board that amon4 the duties of a workhouse master is "to visit all the wards of male paupers before 9 o'clock every night in winter, and 10 o'clock in summer, and see that all the male paupers are in bed : and that all tires and lights therein are extinguished, except so far as may be necessary for the sick.” This is the only justification we can find of the assertion that total darkness is enforced by the central authority ; and as it is happily not the rule In all workhouses, we shall probably learn at the coming inquiry bow far the central authority sane. tions what has been professedly done in its name. For the rest, the visiting committee has complied with the forms prescribed by law, the tending of the sick has been periodically certified as proper, and the hitter comment upon the efficiency pro- claimed is,lthat the pauper Fellowee tumbled from his bed and died on the floor without assistance, because another pauper thought it was " no use disturbing" anybody, though, as we are now told, the means of rousing the house were at hand. ANOTHER DEATH FROM DESTITCTION.—BETH NAL•GREEN WORKHOUSE acarg.—On Saturday Mr. HUM. &toys held as inquest at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Vic. torisepark.road. on the body of Robert Scully. aged GO. The deceased, who was a hawker, was admitted to the Bethnal-green Workhouse on Tuesday evening at seven, was given a warm bath, and was then left in charge of the vrardunan, a pauper named Heyward, who saw him to bed. Next morning, about seven o'clock, he was dead. The wardsman said he gave the deceased some thin gruel, and offered him some bread, Lut he could not eat any. He could not have obtained any beef tee or other nourishing food without some trouble, as the people in the house were gone to bed. The witness said he was CZ years of age, acid was day porter, and sometimes had to be up during the night. If he bad reported that there was danger some one would have been sent to look after the deceased. No one visited his ward between two and seven o'clock. Dr. E. If. Moore made a t-mortem examination of the body, and (*mid that the deceased bad died from a complaint of the heart. There was very :Title food in his stomach. He could hardly say that death was accelerated by want of food or cold. Verdict—" That the deceased was found dead, and that his death arose from disease of the beast, accelerated by destitutioo, and the jary say that on the admission of such cues of destitution, better nourish. =eat should be given. end better superintendence exercised daring the night time."

SERIOUS AccrraNr ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, ANO DOVER RAILWAY. Yesterday morning an accident of an alarming and somewhat serious chancier, but which fortunately has resulted in the Ins of only on life, took place on the main line of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, within • short distance of Beckenham, Bent. Within a mile or two of &shoehorn • sluggish stream omens the track of the line, and is spanned by • girder bridge owned upon lofty piers of brick sod stone. On one side of the stream are ploughed fields, and on the other caier beds. The snow which fell during Thursday and Friday covered those fields to a orineklerable depth. The rain which fell on Saturday melted the snow, and not only swelled the stream to an unusual extent, bat saturated the ground on either side of it to an extraordni . arydepth, and, as it would appear, sapped and loosened the foundations of the bridge which crowed it. No indications of weakness, however, were observable. The midnight passenger train from London paned over the bridge in providential safety within little more than an hour of the time when the whole structure oollapesd and the train next following it was destroyed. At half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning • goods train, consisting of an engine l and tender, thirteen trucks, and • break van, left Battersea foc Rumple. It arrived in due wane at the bridge over ' the brook already mentioned, and bete its career warn brought to • calamitous close. The engine got ou and nearly crowd the bridge, which is about 40 feet in Isegth, when an im mense mass of the further pier gave way, and fell bodily into the maim. The girder bridge, thus deprived of its support, at one and appeared to swing out sideways, and then fell with • terrific crash into the stream, carrying with it the engine and tender, and the whole of the train, which were all hurled pall men to the bottom of the stream, and lay there in complete ruin. The engine driver before the engine torched the ground leaped from it into the ploughed field. He was severely shaken, but he escaped with his life. The wonderful character of this escape will be understood when it is tasted that the height from which the engine fell is about 40 feet. The fireman was not so fortunate. He clung to the rail of the engine, and the tender falling on the top of it, he was instantly ariashad to death between the two. His legs thrust out, stiff and stark, from between the two masses of ironwork were painfully visible all day yesterday, and formed a ghastly addition to the horrors of the ewe. All attempt. to extricate the poor fellow's body have been as yekineffec. teal, owing to the immense weight of the materials between which he is jammed. The guard, who main the break van, escaped owing to the fact that it fell first on the top of th e rest of the train, and then slipped down into the water. He then with some difficulty scrambled out through the win dow. The crash of the fall of the bridge and the train was so groat that it was beard with painful distinctness by the railway employes more than a mile off. Arlene°e was at own procured, and menages were telegraphed up end down the line to communicate the fact of the catastrophe. Soon after daybreak gangs if workmen were hurried to the spot to remove the debris, and take measures for the restoration of the line. One half the girders of the bridge were found to be smashed to atoms, and one half the pier was destroyed. The engine and the tender were fined to be hopelessly smashed ; over them were piled the remains of some ten trucks to a considerable height. In the stream and in the fields around lay the merchandise with which the train had been laden, and which appeared to consist principally of butter, cheese, and biscuits. The men re. mained at work during the day, and were watched with interest by some hundreds of the inhabitant. of the neighbourhood, who had been made aware of the antideat by the fearful concussion During the afternoon the en gineer of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany visited the spot, and made • careful examination of the remains of the bridge and of the foundations of the neighbouring piers. It is needless to say that through communication has been completely interrupted, and the traffic was carried on by the expedient of causing the passengers to alight at either side of the broken bridge and get into another train beyond. Notice has been forwarded to the Board of Trade, and of course a government impeder will be sect down. The fireman was a native of Ramsgate, and his name has not as yet been ascertained, because his last was only his second trip. He was 20 years of age. UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. TO TB! EDITOR OP TB! IMPRI6B. fire,-T beg to inform ou that this company has also made arrangements to send and receive messages by the railways to and from its nearest stations in telegraphic communication with the midland and northern counties, where staffs of clerks and apparatus are provided for this scial service. We have been interchanging messages in this manner so as to prevent a complete interruption to the telegraph service between London and the north since the day the breakdown through the storm occurred. This company's communication throughout the midland and northern counties and Scotland is as perfect as ever, the storm having fortunately been limited to a lies south of Banbury and Northampton. Every exertion is of course being made to repair the:damaged sections of our lines aa speedily as possible.—l am, Ste., W. ANDREWS, Manager and Secretary. London, Jan. 13. ACCIDENT ON THE METROPOLITAN On Saturday evening the 6.5 train, leaving Farringdoe-road for Hammersmith, from some unexplained cause got off the metals before reaching King's-cross, and completely blocked the line. For upwards of three hours the thousands of people who form the usual Saturday night traffic finked Into the station only to wait in expectation for a time and then depart. At about 10 o'clock the line was got clear, and trains began *gale to run. Rus Or es AND KILLED. —On Saturday evening, Mr. W. J. Payne, the deputy coroner, held an inquiry as Guy's Hospital on view of the body of William Landon, aged 55 years. It appeared from the evidence that the I deceased was a wine merchant's cellarman, living at No. 48, New-street, Borough, Oa Saturday month he was crossing Southwarketreet, near Itedcrossetreet, when he was knocked down and run over by • van and two horses. Some workmen came to his assistance and removed him to the hospital, where he expired on Thursday lest from the effect, of an injury to his left leg. At the time of the occurrence the van man drove off, and the police have not been able to ascertain who he was. Under the circum stances the coroner advised the jury to return au open ver dict. The jury returned a verdict "That the deceased was run over and killesiby • certain van, but whom the said van belonged to there is no evidence to show." MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT THROUGH THE SLIPPERY WEATHER.—On Friday afternoon, Catherine Irvine, • widow, 78 years of age, who resided in Parliament street, Liverpool. left her home with the intention of visiting her son on board • vessel in the Brunswick Dock. Nothing further was beard of her by her friends until, later in the day, her body was found in the dock. Its supposed that, in consequence of the slippery nature of the ground and her feeble state, ehe missed her footing. An inquest will be held to-morrow (Tuesday). ABOLITION OF COUNTY COURT TREASURERSHIPS.— The government has come to the determination of abolish ing the county court treesurerships. There are twenty three of these OffiC3lll, divided into two classes, yielding the holders 5301. and 7001. a year respectively. Without Wag exactly sinecures, they are posts involving pecuniary re sponsibility rather than time or labour, and, as a rule, a fortnight every three months enables a treasurer to audit his accounts and discharge his duties satisfactorily. The bunions could be combined with ordinary professional obligations without difficulty, and the posts were very much sought after by adherents of the govern ment of the day. The proposal to do away with the office is not new, but Lord Palmerston was not in favour of it, probably thinking that, while the business was done well, it afforded a desirable opportunity of rewarding men who had earned the gratitude of governments. It is now, however, settled that the place is to be abolished, the auditing of the accounts falling to a central administration at the Treasury. The interests of the existing treasurers will be respected, and these gentlemen will either enthral' to discharge their duties as at present, or as members of the centralised administration. A vacancy existing at the pre sent moment by the resignation of Mr. Foster, of Cam bridge, will not be filled up, the duties being discharged by a local official until the anent of parliament shall be obtained to the new arrangements—Sunday Gazette. FIRE AT MANCHESTER. —On Saturday morning at five o'clock it was discovered that the circulating library of Messrs. Mudie, in Crcasetreet. Manchester, was on fire. The fire had originated in an office over Messrs. Wilde's shop, occupied by Mr. T. 0. Liogard, sharebroker * caused by the timber igniting under the hearthstone of the fire place. This had gradually burnt through the floor during the night, it is supposed, and the hearthstone and some fragments of burning wood falling into Messrs. Mudie's shop communicated the fire to the contents of • department where there were about 15.000 books, partly on shelves and partly in packing case.. The shutters were of iron, and are what are celled revolving shutters. They fitted so closely that the fire bad co doubt burnt many boars before it was discovered by persons passing along the street. The fire brigade, noder Mr. Tow, were soon on the spot after the fire was discovered, and prevented the flames from s reading, so that the building, • part of Csor , etre el only suffered to the extent of about 2.501., but Messrs. Madill, in books destroyed and dammed, will probably have suffered damage to the amount of 5,0001.

Sittings is Banda—(Before Lord Okiet Jautioe Erie, and Judioes Willie, Keating, and Smith.) lIIMIKLOW V. NICHOLOON,-BREACH OF PROMISI OP XAIBIAGL The plaintiff in this cue was the daughter of • deceased surgeon, and the defendant a lieutenant in the army. The parties became engaged to each other. Soon afterwards the defendant joined his regiment in India, and after about two years returned to England and saw his intended, and it was expected the marriage would take place at once. Within about • fortnight, however, they quarrelled, and the defendant departed, and soon afterwards the matter was put into the handset the lawyers, and the present action was brought. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, when the jury found for the defendant, upon the ground that sufficient time had not elapsed for the performance of the defendant's promise. Mr. D. Keane, Q.C. (with him Mr. Douglas Brown), for the plaintiff, now moved for • rule for a new trial, upon the ground that the verdict spinet the weight of evi dent*, and also that the learned judge had not properly directed the jury. The court, after some discussion, granted the rule. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION EOUSE. Mr. George Augustus Fletcher, formerly chief cashier at the Melbourne branch of the Union Bank of Australia, who gave himself into custody about a week previously, end was charged, upon his own confession, with stealing 10,0004 worth of Australian government bon;.s' , again attended at this court on Saturday before Mr. Alderman Finis* in order that some further inquiry might take place into the matter. Mr. Bannister, of the firm of Davidson, Carr, and Ben ulster, the solicitors to Messrs. Caldsoott, the L ondon repre sentatives of a gentleman named Lewis, carrying on business; as a merchant at Melbourne, by whom the bonds in question were deposited with the bank for security, attended on be half of those gentlemen ; Mr. Murray, the solicitor to the Union Bank, appeared on their behalf ; and Mr. G. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended for Mr. Fletcher. . . . The circumstances of the cue were somewhat extraor dinary. It will be recollected that the prisoner weet to the bank in Breed-street on the sth of January, and had an in terview with Mr. Mewburo, the secretary, and told him that he had oome to give himself up for a robbery that had been committed at the Melbourne branch of the establishment, about twelve months before, upon which occasion the strong box was opened, and bonds of the value of 10,0001., the pro perty of a gentleman named Lewis, who had deposited them with the bank fer security, were stolen. The prisoner asserted that no one but himself was concerned in the rob bery, and he said that he absconded, and travelled to different parts of the world, but at length he had made up his mind to oome to England and deliver himself up. He at the same time said that there were 1.,500/., the pro duce of the stolen loads, still in his pueueidon, and be was ready to give up that sum, and to do all in his power to further the ends of justice. The prisoner appeared most anxious that the charge should be proceeded with, but in consequence of there not being any warrant for the appro. hernial of the prisoner issued by the authorities of Mel bonnie, it appeared that this court bad no jurisdiction in the matter, end he was merely required to enter into a recognisance to appear on Saturday, by which time, it wu thought possible, as an Australian mail would arrive, that a warrant would be forthcoming. Mr. Bannister, addressing the alderman, said be would recollect what took place at the former meeting, and that Mr. Fletcher was remanded, in the expectation that Messrs. Caldeoott, whom be represented, would have received the warrant from the colony. The mails had arrived, but the vessel conveying them had met with an accident, all the letters bad been to the bottom of the sea, and were damaged by salt water, and there was no warrant. He had intended to have argued that, under the circumstances, the bench wouldbe justified in remanding the prisoner until the nixes. eery evtdeoce was obtained from Melbourne to justify his being sent back. bus having taken tlio ,pinion of two eminent criminal lawyers, Mr. Gifford and Mr. Mennen, upon the point, and their opinion being that this court would not be legally justified in taking such a course, he should refrain from asking the alderman what be had intended. He thought it right to state that the primmer had given up 1,5001., as he had promised, to the bank authorities, and he did not see what more could be done at present than that he should suggest, that if the prisoner was sincere in the desire be expressed to further the ends of justice, he would testify that sincerity by consenting to go back to Melbourne, and, on the part of Messrs. Calde cott, be would guarantee the payment of the expense of such a course, and he bad no doubt that the Union Bank would contribute. Mr. Lewis said that, on the part of Mr. Fletcher, all he should de was to sagged that the magistrate had no power to interfere, as he had clearly no jurisdiction in such a case. It was true that the prisoner had, in a moment of temptation, and under great pressure, committed the act in question, but he had given up 1,500!., and he would make an arrangement to repay the remainder of the money, and, in fact, was anxious to do everything th►t was possible to make reparation for what he had done. He was instructed that Mr. Fletcher was a man in good position, and most respectably connected, and therefore fully competent to carry out any arrangement of the kind be had suggested, besides which he would be in England, and would be forth coming at any time if be was required. Mr. Bannister asked if be was to understand from Mr. Lewis that Mr. Fletcher would remain in England until the warrant arrived from Australis. Mr. Lewis said he wee not instructed to enter into any undertaking of that kind, but he had no doubt Mr. Fletcher would be found at any time when he was required. Alderman Finnis maid he could be no party to any such arrangement m the ens suggested. It appeared that be had no jurisdiction to entertain the matter, and the prisoner must, therefore, be discharged. Mr. Murray, the solicitor to the Union Bank, begged to be allowed to may in their behalf, that a statement which had appeared, that they were unwilling to prce,cute, was entirely false. On the contrary, the bank felt it their duty to be represented by him on the former am well as on the present occasion ; and they would hare beeolquite prepared to go on with the prosecution if the legal difficulty had not mime. The rerognissuces of the prisoner were then discharged, and he left the court. It will be rememtered that on the 16th of December warrant was placed in the hands of Haydon, the detective officer, for the apprehension of a young man named Robert Buxton, who bad been clerk to Mr. Freiligath, • foreign merchant, carrying on business at Royal Exchange-build iogs. It appeared that Buxton had forged • cheque for 8101. upon the City Bank, where his muter keeps an ac count, and obtained the money. He sailed in the Saxonia on the 13th of December for New York, and the forgery was d isoovery almost immediately afterwards; and on thel6th Haydon sailed in the Australasiso, armed with • warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner. Although the last-men tioned vessel bad a very bad Rump she gained • day and a half nr on the Sixoo is, and arrived at New York on the 29thht December. Haydon at once instituted the necessary inquiries, and traced the fugitive to New Jersey, and be was appre hended at that place by one of the United States marshals. The prisoner was subsequently examined before • judge having cognisance of such matters, and remanded. He had previously handed over to the officer a sum of over 6001. ; and upon the next examination, as it turned out tbat the necessary proceedings to justify the extradition of the pri. goner had not been completed, the charge was not premed, and the prisoner was set at liberty, and Haydoo returned to England with the money the proposer had given to him. Haydon now communicated to Alderman Flows, the magis trate who had granted the warrant, the above particulars, and he was congratulated by him upon the successful result of his expedition, at all events so far as related to the recovery of so large a portion of the money that was the produce of the forged cheque. TM-SHIP-STREET. Charles Martinelli, charged last week with attempting to destroy hisses!' by cutting the veins of his arms, was brought up se remand. It will be remembered that the Reformatory and Refuge Society, 26. Suffolk-street, Pall mall East, bad heard of this case, and promised aid. Mr. Hayward. its messenger, now etete d that if the prisoner was discharged the commie:is had directed him to be conveyed drat to the Charing : cross Hospital, and, when quite capable. to the country, until some situation could be obtained more suitable to his distrsesing position than that of the trade he had followed. Mr. Ellison expressed his belief that the course proposed was the very best it was passible to adopt for the young mat's future benefit, and (turning to him) besought that be would strive to rouse himself from the horrible thoughts that had prompted him to the commission of so wicked ea attempt. A few donations had bees rewired for him, het they would of mune be handed over to the society who had so kindly interested itself in his behalf. Fri/mist. was then discharged, and left the court with Mr. Hayward. Elizabeik Stems, only H years of age, but much older in appearsaee , was charged by her father with robbing him. The poor matt for some moments after his bad entered the witoess box could not speak for tears roiling down his cheeks. He said he was a shoemaker. liring at 60, Holy- Shoreditek, and his statement was that at Tues day MA a drama is am upper room wee MOM to have bean broken open, and tbs entire contents, amounting to 71., stolen. Unfortunately, there was too much reason to fear that his daughter had perpetrated the act, as six weeks since she stole some money from him ; indeed, she had been a trouble to him all her life, oomparatively. On the Tuesday night in question she slept away from hum He ould sot discover when she was livisg, but did eseerktio that she had purchased a bed, some chairs, and • new silk dram That morning he abased to catch • glimpse of her ruin along Brick•lane.

Not many country orders have yet come in, but manufacturers are most of them well engaged, and. as a rule, are not making up goods for stock. The continued uncertainty relative to the prke of copper has an unfavourable effect upon the metal Anders, but in most other branches of our manufactures • good amount is being done. In the fancy trades business is rather quiet. In the foreign department there is rather mare activity with the exception of Chili, there is a considerable number of South American orders on hand. There is • fair amount doing to the West Indies, and in the course of the week • further supply of orders has been given out on account of America. As to the Eastern markets generilly, business is quiet, bat with the North of Europe trade is again begin ning to move, and prospects are thought to be favourable as the spring advances.

COTTON GOODS.—NANcfitiarki, JAN. 13.—The mar ket was quiet, with weaker prices at the commencement of the week, the state of the money market causing an un- easiness very much interfering with business. On Wednes day and Thursday there was some improvement, and some taw transactions ease reported in cloth rad yarn, but yesterday and this morning, though sellers were induced be the cotton quotations from America to hold for full prices, the market has again been quiet. Buyers have does only a moderate business in yarn generally, tho ug h some rather heavy contracts have been placed for Ws mule. Buyers are not offering prices which meet the views of spinners. It is much the same in cloths. There has been • good deal of inquiry for the two past dam indicating that some good orders are in the hands of merchant., but they hesitate at giving the prices which have been o ff ered. Good printers and the better class of domestics are in some request. leading to a moderate bunniess at full prices, but generally the market, though firm, to dull. There have been several failures this week, including • manufacturer at Burnley and • spinner and a manufacturer at Stockport. The liabilities are not heavy.
