Derrefe workmen worked under a different system to the other lama, and were subject to nice, expenses ; but to *add an disputes and differences the workmen in the three firms in • namely, Mr. Berrey's, Wellston street ; Mr. s, Carrington ; and the Meters. Bur. tuna', of Sherwood (the latter firm being managed by trus tees), all agreed to solicit their employers to pay the same price, end to be allowed to work on the rue system, w eeding to the established rules of the trade. On the did of July, se the workroom had received no &newer, a b ou t a dome of them went to Mr. Berrey's warehouse, to see if any eettlement could become to, but he was not there, and when they returned to the factory they found that they were i looked out, and that all the other workpeople had been turned out into the street. Mr. Taloa. lucked out the whole of his lace hands iudiscriminately at the MUM time. A firm, whom name we suppress, to swell the numbers, locked their hands out at the same time, but have since taken them all back. The Sherwood firm locked their hands out eta the 28th July. There art now nearly 400 of all climes thrown out of employe:mut, not one ' fourth of whom had anything to do with the dis pute in question, or even knew anything about it. There have been no terms offered by the employers to settle the dispute, but from the very strenuous efforts made on their part to persuade others to follow their exaniple,it is evident to us that they have commenced a desperate onslaught both epos our labour and our privilegve, and ate determined if possible to ruin the Lens Trades Society. When the em ployers were waited upon by the executive committee, the only plea set up by them as a reason why they refused to comply with the men's request was because some of them had leen earning thirty shillings per week and upwards. We admit that a very smallportion of the hands Eitel earn that sum, but they were skilled workmen, and had to per. form a vast amount of labour, from four ecluck in the morning until twelve at night, taking shifts alter nately. The lam machine, being one of the meet complicated pieces of machinery in the world, requires a vast amount of study and practice for a workman to become proficient ; and in consequence of the *unties effect both of untimely hours and the glaring ligut required in the evening, very few can work at the Lead.: more than 30 years ; therefore, we say, the lace makers ought to be well remunerated for their labour during the time they have capabilities to work. But to enlighten them unacquainted with the lace trade we submit the tullowing information :—All lace is made by piece work, or what is called a rack, the operatives' wages ranging from about 1:a. to Ak. ear week each, more or lea according to their ability, mid the quality of the machine they by chance have to work, said for this amount of money two men, or man and boy, have to work hours per day. We beg to call your attention to the following extract, which ap peared in the New Qtraeteriy rovolv of April last, and taken from the report of one of the government cow missiosers who was sent by the Secretary of State to inves t*te the system the factory operatives worked under : "The hos trade, as a whole, comprehends a variety of occu pation, mid employs about 35,U00 Lauds. Laos, both • warp ' and 'twist, is first made in the factories by @team machines, which are closely watched by men or boys. This is the hist and chief process, sad it is in these factory work. rooms, full of foul vapours, in a temperature of 7.1 and 80 degrees of beat, that child:ea hem the a g e of seven or eight year., with women and young penes ' s, are employed twelve, attain, mid twenty hours aoley , ,as wiudera," threader., end jecLers-off.' labours ',hien it would be tedious to de scribe in detail It is here that the great primary evil which taints all other branches the trade is to bedstected. We mesa the system of unrestricted and irregular labour. The ;mend rule of lace factories is, that the engine runs fron t t.ar a.m. till midnight, except, on Friday, when it runs all night without cessation, and on Saturday, whim it stops at six or eight p.m. ; but frequently, when trade is active, every night in the week is a briday night." The lace makers being well aware of the misery rusting iu the factories, and waking to ameliorate their conclitiou, petitioned parlia ment to apply the Factory Act to lace factories'. Pell. teas aped by 10,4110 of the inhabitants were presented L. the llama of Commons by Mr. Mellor, Q.r., M.P., and to the House of Lords by the mat of Shaftesbury, in February Lea : they were got up and supported by the trade's unica, in coin , alien with the clergy and gentry of the town. Such pee-et-shop were a dire whales to Inc menufacturers. We neve had several inipurtaut strikes which have met a large amount of money, but in each case the employers have beets obliged to conic to an hoeourable settlement. Such proceediugs have rendered our society very obooxious to evil doers, and hence arum • determumtion to break a up. k non the above account our readers will be led to suppose that the lace makers are a numerous body of men, which is sot the cam. Nottingham, the chief seat of the trade, numbers about 1,74.10 members in the society ; but there are other large lace factories away from Nottingham, none of the workini uof which belting to the trade'e society. The levy which is r o w being paid by our meridiem is Is. per week ; but through the greet depresion in the lace trade, which has existed for more than three years, there is not anything like oar quarter of our members who are in full work, and I a lull s number have only half work—litany only miser two days' work per week, while there are number, out alto gether. Notwithetaudiug the privations which many of oar fellow-unionists have to suffer, we are happy to say they seem determined. every man, to pay he shilling, being well aware of the c-asequences, should the society fail. But it must not fail : and we say, with the sestet. mos of our fellowcourstrymen, it cannot fail. And we most emphatically call upon all trades' societies to arouse themselves to their pootion, mad assist us in the maintenance cf our rights sad liberties, and show thet you are detenniaed to euppo t three who are prepared to sacrifice their all fur the rights and dignity of labour. Bat why need we fear! We know that en twiny occasions we have assisted others when they have lam oppressed —none have ever appealed in vain ; we Love always lent a helping hand in the tuns of seed • thea suffer not the unscrupulous capitalist. to rein our little bat well organ:led society ; acd we faithfully promise, should cry society to placed in similar difficulties, they way de pend upon our most .t.inguine support. We now leave our c s .,e in your hands, trusting that the working classes of this c..ustry will support and enable the factory operatives in this town to Aaiun for themselves a small portion of that wealth ci rated by their own industry ; and be it remembered that if the factory operatives fail to establish their position, their defeat will be followed by • general reductiou of the wages of factory operatives throughout the country. We once more cellos you to show to the masters of this country that you will not tolerate a system that will eke mealy be the mesas of entailing on children yet unborn a slavery of mind and body, brought abseil by the cowardice of their pareuts in not demanding for themselves and their children the inherent right of defending labour, which in ail inetences has proved this nation's greatnea. SHIPWRECKS 011 . SoUTHPORT. SOUTHPORT, AUGUST 2 4 . —About one o'clock en Sunday morning we were visited by one of the most terrific gales that have ever been experieM-ed, suit which resulted in the stranding of two', moils within a few miles of Southport. A vessel, mi. thistly in distress, wan descried in the offing, and she ' , one struck violently ou the horn Bank—a d,angei oun sand, ou which many cesualtisa have occurred -an.l having sprung some of her timbers, she sank.

The ship's crew consisted ..f o n , men, who Lad given themselves up for lust, as thy I lid not perceive the Melo.' until within about 200 yards of the illfeted vessel. With some d!fliculty they were rescued from th , ir extremely perilous situation, and the lifeboat returned to Bouthport at nine o clock. The vessel, which i.. now a t , -unplete wreck, in called th . Hope, of Dub• lin, and was hound to that port from Runcorn, with a ono of melt. We may add that the Lythem lifeboat, which be leap to the National Lifeboat Institution, alien put off to the mewl, but having to proceed from a greater distance, it was too late to be of service. About the same time another vowel was awned to be in distress. She had been driven ea shore to the southwest, about two miles from when the Whitworth ;funs are stationed, end a bust Was imme diately placed on the trucks vacated by the lifeboat, 1 , and despatched along th e shore.

There were only two matt on board, and they were re‘einad, and brmllit safely on shore.

BOAT ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF SIX LIVES. A COM*rodent of the North British Daily Moil communist's the following :—On Sunday, the 19th inst., twelve individuals—six males and en malty feandoe—left Lanvin and Rehm* inOhe parish of liGincertline, Rom shim, with the intention of to the Tree Chunk in the pariah of Criech, SutherLodahbes where the Abate ment of the Loam Supper was to be dimmed These two parishes are separated by the Dernoeh Frith, and the river OficiU. The party, instead of takintj a re ferry, took a salmon fi shing-boat or cobs, which t comfortably miry seven or eight persons only; and cough the wind was high, the frith rather stoney, the boat overloaded, and the sail too large, everything went on well till they were about one mile and a quarter from Boor-bridge. There it was considered expedient to take down the sail, and while so doing the boat took in some water, which so shamed some of the females as to cause them to spring to the apposite aide of the boat. She immediately filled, and appears to have more than once turned upside down in a part of the frith which, at the time, was from twelve to fourteen feet deep, and is considered 300 or 400 yards from the shore. All were thrown into the water. Only two could swim. These were Donald Umnhart, • sailor, sad Alexander Ross. The former had his father and sister with him) the latter had his wife, a me, and a daughter. On looking about him, Alex. Rose's atimition was attracted to his daughter struggling in the waves, He milled hold and attempted to save her, but, after an weed effort, he felt that he was in the utmost peril of losing his own life, without any prospect of saving that of his daughter, a girl of 16 years of age. He was mod reinetantly forced to let her go, on which he succeeded is ewiemaing about 20 yards, when he found that he could stand, though the water reached to his seek. Donald Ur. quint% observing Rosie daughter sinking bead foremast, swam directly to the spot, got hold of has, and swam with her to her father, who could keep the girl's head above water. Without a moment's delay, Urqulmrt swam beck, in the face of a strong wind and i d current, to the others who were helplessly s for life. Oben ring *female in the act of being en he made for the spot where she disappeared, dived after her to the bottom (12 feet), succeeded in bringing her to the surface and swimming with her to her husband, for she hammed to be Ross's wife. Up to the neck himself, Ross meaagsd to keep the heads of his wife and daughter above water. I Urquhart, with all possible expedition, for the third time swam bravely to the scene of the disastrous calamity, dived, as on the previous occasion, and now brought two females from the bottom. With these he emerged quite close to the boat, which was rolling in the waves, and to which he found another female clinging, but in imminent danger of sink ing into the oolong water. She managed to g hold of his clothes, as did her sister—one of the two rescued sod brought from the bottom—the other was his own sister, who was in a state of utter unconscious. ness. The noble fellow has no distinct recollection of the manner in which he now conducted himself, but he led desperately to bring the three with him to Alexander With his lIIICOMICIOUS sister in one hand, and the two sisters (Ann and Bella Roes) clinging to his clotUs, Urquhart made the most determined and energetic struggles with the one free hand to carry these to where the other rescued ones IMO in the water. Without any human aid he succeeded, although he was much exhausted and quite bewildered. Five were still in the bottom of the frith—amongst them his own father—but the brave fellow could do no more, and his helpless sister demanded all his attention. Betides, them was great necessity for making for dry land, as the sur vivors were getting very feeble, Hitherto none of the multitude of spectator, who had witnewed the catastrophe at various distances were able to render any easietance, but when they were able their service. went of little avail. None of the five who sank to the bottom were rescued alive. Dr. Gordon was soon on the ground, and rendered much aid to these who had been miscued, but all his efforts to resuscitate Janet Urquhart proved unavailing. From the above it will be observed that of the twelve who were in the boat, six were drowned—four males and two females —and among these the father and sister of Urquhart. Of the surviving six four were rescued from certain death by the noble and intrepid sailor. The cool ness, promptitude, energy, and daring that characterised his conduct cannot be too highly appreciated, when the ra pidity of the current, the strength of the wind, the rough ness of the frith, the depth of the channel at the time and place when and where the =amity occurred, and the dis tance he had to swim, act heavily encumbered, are duly weighed. tab) but lliaaut. 00IIRT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Avorsr 29.

After many letters to the same effect, the defendant wrote • letter in which " he was recommended not to the me plain ruent," and sup posed that " no doubt the plaintiff' would be disap pointed," but it would be all right. The plaintiff was tether angry at that letter, and expostulated with the defendant, who replied, " That be had not the least thought of breaking off the engagement," and tiltiLizzie to forgive him. Soon after this an interview llace, and then the defendant said he could never look upon the plaintiff in any other light than that of • sister.

Mr. William Story, who was stated in the police-aheet to bee merchant, carr.ving on his business at No. 36, Crotched friars, appeared before the Lord Mayor, upon bail, to ass ayer a charge of assaulting William Sheen, one of the City police constables. A solicitor appeared for the defendant. The complainant, who hes the character of a very quiet, wall-conducted officer, stated that on Tuesday afternoon he was on duty in Threadneedleatreet, about four o'clock, and wee standing close to the kerb-stone, when he received a violent blow from a man's hand on the small of the back, and turning round immediately be saw the tidandant in the act of dmarieg hi s hued away. H e told him that he had acted very fQ.nbly in assaultui; him, and that he deserved to he locked up. The defendant said, " What for!" and he told him for striking him in the back; and the defendant, in reply, said, " You are a liar." Wit t= told him he could not submit to be assaulted and told that he was a liar, and the defendant must accompany him to the police-statton. On their war there the defendant invited him to take a glass of ale with him and say no more abordthe matter, but he declined to do so. The defendant was the worse for liquor at the time. In answer to questions put by the defendrmt's solicitor, The constable said he should not have pressed the charge if the defendant had expressed the slightest regret for his conduct. The defendant's solicitor in answer to the com plaint said he was not instructed to dispute the constable's statement, that an assault had been committed ; but he was informed that it was quite unintentional The defendant, who wee in company with two or three other gentlemen, bad turned out of Bartholomew.lare, and he accidentally came in contact with the constable, but he had no intention to assault him. The Lord Mayor (to the detnitlant)— What me you? Defendant—l am a merchant, and I think the publicity that will be given to this affair will be quite sufficient punishment.__ The Lord Mayor— You should have thought of that be. fore you acted in such a manner. It is most disgraceful for a parson holding the position of a merchant of the city of Logsdon to be drunk in the streets in the middle of the day, and I shall fine you ss. fur being drunk, and Is. for assaulting the officer. Defendant— My lord, I would much rather pat the money into the poor-box, if you would allow me, than be tined five 'hillier for being drunk. The Lord Mayor—l dare say you would; but you should have thought of the odium that was attached to it before you cooducted yourself as you did. I shall not alter my The defendant then paid the money, and as he left the molt addressed the Lord Mayor and said, " The next time I meet you, my lonl, I hope it will be in better coni- PAY." (A lough.) Dennis Brine, a costermonger, Was charged with as malting Frederick Sheen. a City prilieeman. It appeared that the complainant was on duty in Cheap side on the previous day, when he saw the defendant fighting with another man, node large crowd had assembled. He tried to induce him to go away, but he was very violent, and told the policeman he had better not touch him as be had had twelve months already for nearly killing a police man. When the cuustable bad hold of him be made a violent resistance, and repeatedly tried to inflict dangerous injury upon the complainant and another constable named Benham, who came to his assistance, and it required the aid of four constables to convey the defendant to the police. station. As they were going along the prisoner made ILA, of the most desperate threata, and said that if he had a knife he would stick it into the complainant and his brother *mutable. The Lord Mayor inquired whether it was true that the defendant bad auticied twelve months' imprisonment for an assault upon • policeman Partridge the gaoler, said it was true. He was committed from Guildhall for • violent aroiult, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment The prisoner was • very bad character audit was his custom to come into the City, with some of his companions, and get up a fight, and when • crowd collected, 1101116 of the gang committed robberies. The defendant, in answer to the complaint, denied that he was in fault, ands* declared that he did not make nee of the language that had been spoken to. He added in an impudent tone that the police would swear anything, and that they thought no more of taking a false oath than they did of outing • beef steak. (A laugh.) The Lord Mayor said he was • very brutal, dangerous fellow, and he should commit him for trial for the assault upon the constables, which would give an opportunity for an adequate punishment to be inflicted upon him. An application was made to the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances It appeared that the applicant had been robbed on the 28th of May of • 81. bank note, and he stopped the note at the Bank of England. He sulrequently received notice that the note bad been paid in through the London Joint Stock Bank by &highly respectable firm in the City. He had applied to that firm to know how they obtained posses sion of the note, but they expressed themselves unable to give him any information upon the subject. Under them circumstances be wished to know what steps he was to take to obtain possession of his stolen note. The Lord Mayor said he had no power to interfere in the matter, and lie advised the applicant to make another appli cation to the firm, and if this was unsaccessfuL he might possibly have • remedy in the county court. The Lord Mayor acknowledged the receipt of various sums from benevolent personF, and among them was one of lOt. for the blind commercial traveller collected by E. G. Uipron, at Edinburgh. Alai a sum of rif. trent T. S., for the poor weep= who we. rob Led of her clothct at the owom packet wharf. In this case it appears that the full value of the clothes and money lust ha. teen subscribed through the benevolence of the public, so that she will not sustain any loss by the heartless rubbery. The Lord Mayor expressed hie thanks to the benevolent donors in each case, and said that be wished publicly to esti ess his acknowledgment of their kindness. THZ Jur. KA MOE AHD TILE 1104PZMONITZS. The repeated fai:uree which have hitherto been the only results of the strenuous c‘ertione of the Bev. Lewis Prior to rele“se his wife from the custody and in fluence of the Princeites, do not alp!~ to have had the effect of at all abating the ardour of that gentleman, for hearing, spot relia;de authority, that Mrs. Pries wee seem at North Pethertos, on Tuesday last, he at once pro- ceeded to that village in the hope of being more fortunate than he was on the previous comaions of seeking her rescue. His arrival was soon made known, and in the course of a very short epees of time the greater portion of the in habitant* were on the qui ries% A part of the houses of Mrs. Amery-and Mr. Veariscombe, two adherents of Prince, were searched, but Mr. Price expresaed himaelf satisfied with the assurances of the inmates, and did not proceed to any great length with his investigations. After his return to Bridgwater in the evening, he was told that Mrs. Pr:ce again been wen at Arnery's house, and at an early hour on Wednesday morning he accordingly made another visit to North Petherton, but was not fortunate enough to effect his object It seems to be quite certain that Mrs. Pries was in the village on Tuesday, but it also appears to be evident that so great are the ap prehensions of the Agapen:ouites that her husband will suc ceed in obtaining her rescue, that she is frequently removed under cover of night front one place to another, in order to elude the vigilance of Mr. Price's scout. We understand that it is the invention of the followers of " loud" to apply to the county magistrates at their meeting to-day (Thursday) at Bridgwater, for warrants against several of the persons who took a prominent part in the storming of the Agapemone on the 21st instant. Mr. Price has written a letter to Brother Thema% offer ing to indemnify the Princeites for any loss to which they may have been put in consequence of the attack upon their nremines during the evening of Tuesday week. The general Peeling in the surrounding neighbourhood is very strongly in favour of Mr. Price, who receives constant offers from all classes who wish to render their aid to Ins enterprise, although, from the fact of the Agapemot t e being now guarded by a strong force of the county constabulary, any future attempt will carry with it more risk than accompanied pre vious sorties. ExecurlON IN IRELAND. On Monday morning, at a quarter to ton o'clock, John Holden WI.. executal in front of Omagh gaol far the murder of Constable M'Clelland, at Dungannon, in Decem ber last. Since his conviction the unfortunate man is said to have been very pewter:it, having been in frequent com munication with the Rev. Busuard M•Nainee, the Roman catholic chaplain of the prison. He has, however, made no public confession of his crime. His wife had several inter views with him, but he manifested great indifference, ex cept on parting with her for the last time on Sunday even ing, when his feelings found vent in tears. Ho sat up writing until 2 o'clock on Monday morning, bat the contents of the documents have not transpired. He went to bed at two, and slept soundly until 6 o'clock, when he arose and dressed in the same clothes he wore at his trial ; thees consisted of a black dram coat and vest, fancy light neck tie, and drab trousers. He expressed some regret that he had no black trousers good enough to weer at his execu tion. It wasgenerally believed here that the execution would take place at noon, but the authorities had privately arranged that it should take place at hall-past eight o'clock. At that hour, however, be was receiving spiritual direction from the chaplain, i,oci it was not until half-pest 9 that the prisoner was brought out of Miceli for execution. He was accompanied by the Roman catholic chaplain, the sheriff, and governor of the gaol walking in front, and the turnkeys of the prisoner bringing up the Mat. The prisoner did not seem clanged for the worse sin,* his trial ; he ascended the prison steps to the scaffuld-room with a firm step, carrying a crucifix in his hand, and joining iu the chaplain's prayers. Os reaching the scaffold-rose the pri toner went down on hi. knees with the chaplain and en gaged in prayer for some t r ine, during which he pressed the crucifix several timed to his lips, and afterwards kissed Mr. M•Nainee. Prayer being over, the executioner was then summoned, and while on his knees the con vict was pinioned, after which be ruse and shook hands with the chaplain, the sheriff,. the governor of the gaol, and the dsoess of the pneon. He next re (kuestod the sheriff to have his body suspended as short a time as possible, and to bury his body as far as _possible from any other person who had died ID prison.

SCOTCH VoUrllgings rot GARIBALDI. —The number of Scotch volunteers for Garibaldi continues rapidly to increase. Jo Glasgow on Tuesday a large number came forward to join the company forming in that city, in addi tion to those wbo had ioineat on the previous day. We believe that up to nine o clock on Tuesday night, the num ber which bad joined in Glasgow was 100, and at that hour the committee were busily engaged in enrolling additional names. In Edinburgh the number of Garihaldiau volun teers is now 110, and at the meeting in the Volunteer Arms on Tuesday night. fifteen guineas were subscribed towards the fund now raisin; for defraying the expenses of the volunteers. It may be mentioned, as showing the prevail ing entbuision for Garibaldi, that among this applicants for enrolment in the Edinburgh company there appeared is young boy of twelve years of age, who had actually paw. railed co his father to bring him in from Dalkeith, that be might have au opportunity of offering his services either as drummer or in any other capacity in which he might be useful. The services of the boy were of course declined, and be had to return home greatly disappointed at being unable to realise his expectations of joining the corps.— , fito44l•llA BOW-STREET. A lad named Nichola. Trish, about 17 years old, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry charged with stealing a quantity of greengages, plums, kr-, the property of Mrs. Deakin, who keeps a stand in Covent-pinion market. Polies-constable lt 109, and Sergeant Shams of the same division, deposed that the prisoner and another boy were loitering about in Broad-court, Bow-street, on Tuesday even ing, with some half-bushel baskets of fruit in their panes- Mon. Witness stopped the prisoner sad inquired what he was doing with the fruit, and the answers being unsutisfac tory In was detained, the other bey and his oompanion (who 30, 1800. did not have any fruit) in the meantime' making ott. les ion's), morning the robbery was reported at the police eta and a portion of the stolen property wee identified. Deakin, the prceecutrix, deposed that she had a stand in Covent•gardcn 3larket, and ou Tuesday night, having placed her fruit baskets together and ooveredthem over with carpeting nailed down all round, she left as usual for the night. Oaring to her stand at 8 o'clock yesterday morning she found the c loth or carpet had been cut in several places, and several half-bushels of pl greengages, &c., taken out. She had lost 21. worth of fruit within the last fort night. Mr. Henry said he was well aware of the frequency of robberies in Covent-garden Market, and had often pointed out the only way of preventing them, namely, the admi.s. don of the police. The market was private property, the Duke of Bedford and his agents having hitherto declined to admit the police, although it was obvious that if they could walk the avenues of the market they would be much more efficient than the limited staff of beadles could possibly be. The robberies were generally committed by costennongers, who sold the fruit in the streets afterwards. The prisoner, who mid he bought the fruit of another boy for 2d., was committed for trial. MARL BOIIOUGH:STREET. Timothy Neale and William Walker, two young men, were charged before Mr. Beadon with attempting to enter burglarioualy the house No. 12, in New Compton-street. . _ . . . George May, • constable of the F diviehni, said that between three and four in the morning he heard a noise in New Comptonetrest, and going there he found the pri soners near the house No. 12, the shutters pf the shop being down. On seeing him approach the priooners turned round and ten off. On going close up to the house he found that two of the shop shutters had been taken down and a win. dow broken. He pursued the prisoners to a co ff ee ahokin High-street, and went in and took them into custody. The prisoners said they had not been in New Compton-street, and that they had been in the coffee-shop half an hour. Frisker, 168 E., said he saw the prisoners in the coffee ' room, and, with the previous witness, followed them in. They said they had been over the water till then. Mr. Robert Garrett, of 12, New Compton.street, said be was called up by the polite, but found - nothing removed, though the shutters were down and a window broken. The prisoners Irian put back,' and inquiries made, but nothing against their character found out. Walker was found to have only lately left the small.pox hospital, and is an apprentice-to aworking jeweller iu Clerkenwell. Mr. lierdon said ho should remand them, but would take bail for their appearance on Friday nett, but it was not provided. WESTMINSTER . . . . _ A girl, only 18 years of age, having the appearance of a regular Leggiir who gave her name an Manduret Bogen, was charged with the following disgraceful behaviour : Mary lane, 'errant to Major lk Padrone, 1, Montpelier square, linnpton, said that at 4 O'CIOCk on Tuesday after noon the prisoner came to the house and rang the bell, offer ing some laces for sale. She was told to go away, and she then asked for some money or bread. The family were out of town, and witness told her that she was not allowed to give anything away, upon which prisoner became very abusive, ceiling witness and her fellow-servant the most filthy and obscene names. She was repeatedly told to go away, but continued abusing them for nearly half-an-hour, till at length witness went for a policeman. The second servant having corroborated this, the police proved that when she was told logo away from the house she refused to do so. The accused, in defence, declared that when she spoke to the servants they abased and swore at Ler, and she merely retaliated ; and her mother, who looked even more like a beggar than herself, declared that her daughter could not possibly use such language as was imputed to her, but Mr. Dayraan considered the case fully proved, and sent her to prison for seven days. LAMBETH. Nary Rosier, who did not appear to be more than 18 or 19 years of age, but who was described to be a married woman with one child, was placed at the bar on a charge of stealing from the person of Thomas Taylor eight sovereigns and swallowing the lot. • The complainant, a weather-beaten seaman, said be had just been paid o ff , and receiving 44/. from hi s owners left Lie lodgings at the Blue Anchor, in Lemanetreet, White chapel, on the morning before with 21' sovereigns in his pocket, and proceeded to the Blue Anchor, in East Smith field, when be fell iu with the prisoner and another female then present, and made up his mind " to go for a He accordingly bent for a cab, gut into it with his two female companions, and desired to be driven to the London-bridge statics,. On reaching that place he told the cabman to drive to Oteenwich, and, after drinking a great deal, the prisoner put her hand into the pocket in which his sove reigns were, and took them all with the exception of 21.105. She also mashed a silver watch which cost him 5/., and he gave ber into custody. William Read, a cab-driver and owner, said the prosecutor and his oompanions were three-parts drunk, and gave a lengthened history of their trip, the number of public-houses they stopped at, and the number of bottles of rum and gin the prosecutor purchased during the journey. The magistrate severely censored the conduct of this witness in driving penons about in such a state, and it ap peared to him very suspicious, and as if he had lent himself to the robbery. Kate Harrington, the prosecutor's second companion corroborated Ids evidence in many material particulars, and said she distinctly saw the prisoner swallow the sove reigns. Police -constable Samuel Perch, who took the prisoner into custody, said she had been carefully searched at the station house, but nothing was found on her. The prisoner denied the robbery, and was remanded to a future slay. SOUTHWARK., Menning, — ;seasnan employed on board the Countess of Loped&le, Hamburg steamer, wax brought be fore Mr. Burcham charged with smuggling a quantity of manufactured tobacco from the above vessel. John Terrell, a Custom-house officer, said that be had charge of the Countess of Lonsdale, Hamburg steamer, with other officers, from which vessel smuggling has recently been carried on by the Crew before the meat to a great extent. On Tuenday evening the prisoner was leaving the vessel to go on shore, when witness perceived that he had something bulky wider his clothes. He stopped him, and asked whether be bad an v property concealed about him that was liable to duty? The prisoner replied that he bad not, but on opening his waistcoat witness discovered three packets of manu factured foreign tobacco. each of them weighing a pound. This was the third man belonging to the erew who had been detected in smuggling property from the vessel since is arrival in the port of Loudon on Monday last. The prisoner said that the tobacco belonged to him, and it TM entirely for his own use. Mr. Burden told him that he must know that he was infringing the law, 113 he could not expect to be allowed to carry ashore such a large quantityfor his own use. He must pay IL lls. lid., or go to prison for Lq days. THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PARK, EDINBURGH. The judicial inquiry into the late murder iu the Queen's Park is still proored uc l, and on Tuesday twenty. seven corporals of the 13th Li t Dragoons appeared at the office of the Procurator -Ir , no doubt with the view of enabling the authorities to follow out the line of inquiry suggested 'in the information volunteered by the woman who came forward on Thursday Ist. That information, it will to recollected, was to the effect that, about three o'clock on the Sunday morning on which the murder was committed, the informant, in company with another woman, passed • corporal of the 13th Light Dra goons and • young girl etending close to the Clock mill.bridge, and heard the soldier threatening the girl, and saying, "If you follow me I will do for you." The authorities are now evidently giving the woman who made those statements an opportunity of identifying, if possible, the "corporal" referred to by her. The investi gation, of course, continues to be conducted with the strictest secrecy ; but, so tar as we can learn, no actual identification has been made. It is said, indeed, that the woman, on being shown the corporals on Tuesday, pointed out one of them as the man she had seen in the park, but on the eorponds being placed before her in • group she pointed out another man as the one she had soon. The es periment was tried again, and the third time she pointed out the same man as on the first occasion. It is also stated that another woman has ploillit4 out corporal as one whom she had seen in the park on the morning of the murder ; but on inquiry it appeared that she must have been mistaken, as the man wee on duty that night. On the whole, therefore, it may be said that up to the present time nothing has transpired tending to throw farther light on this mysterious crime. The city police are endeavouring to put a stop to the ab surd and mischievous conduct of many parties who, in their morbid desire to obtain some memorial of the murder, have stripped the tree near which the body was found of nearly all its bark and inauy of its branches. On Tuesday two boys were braught up at the Police Court, before Baihe Genres Russell, and found guilty of having been concerned in breaking off some brandies of the tree in the park on Sunday evening, and were fined fn. each, Rome older people have been even niore foolish than any boys could be in carrying away portions of the true and even of the turf near the spot where the body of the girl was found.

KITINSION OF THE SUDBURY RAILWAY. —We understand that the Eastern Counties Company have en tered into arrangements with the Sudbury. Melford, and Clam Beltway Company, for undertaking the execution of the line, under the powers of the act of parliament obtained in the late session, and that it is their intention to . apply for powers to extend the line from Melford to Bury, our Laven ham, and from Clare to Climbridge. This decision of the Eastern Counties Company gives us the prospect of more direct access to the metropolis, and of restored communica tion with a district from which we have for some time been practically cut off. We need not ray that en independent line to London would have been more generally acceptable ; but with the knowledge of the difficulty of constructing such a line, and the certainty that any branch from the Eastern Comities lino must sooner or later hive fallen into the hands of that company—and that, perhaps, after a sea son of such punishment as the Eastern Union Company hair had to endure—we think we may congratulate the district that the Eastern Counties Company has been induced to awry out the half•pledge which was given In their last sum mer's report. We believe that the works between Sudbury and Clam will commence without loss of time.—Bury and Norwich Post. _ _ _ The number of patients treated at the Samaritan Free Hospital for Women and Children, Edwards-street, Partananainare, during the week ending August 25, was 606, of which 127 were new cases.
