MR. DISRAELI ON EDUCATION. On Thursday afternoon the national schools which have been in course of erection for some time past on Naphili-common, were opened by the Venerable Archdeacon Bickersteth. The proceedi ngs com menced by a sermon in the parish church of Hug henden, after which the company proceeded to the school, where the archdeacon read the usual service and formally pronounced the school to be opened. The Right Hon. B. DIsRAELI M.P., then ad dressed the meeti ng . H e said—Young friends, and all of this parish under this roof, I must congratu late you on the completion and opening of a build ing for one of the most important objects that you could possibly have in view. You have at last the means of education secured to yon, and the oppor tunity of meeting in a permanent and certain dwel ling. We have not, in this parish, before this, been without the means of education, but those means have depended on sources upon which we could not always rely,and we necessarily met under roofs that we could not command ; but you have this day completed a building which belong to the parish, and which is to-day opened for one of the highest and holiest purposes that can influence man. I need not impress upon you the import tance of education. To " train up a child in the way he should go" is a perfect education—to teach him those truths of religion and principles of moral conduct which shall govern him throughout this life, the importance of which has already been impressed on you by the touching and impressive sermon which our archdeacon has delivered in the parish church. Education is important not only to you now, but in reference to your conduct and future condition in the world. Twenty-years ago, if I had been addressing an audience like the pre sent, I might have endeavoured to persuade you of the advantage of education, but that mode of considering the subject is now entirely past; we have got further than that—it is not merely the advantage of education that I have to impress upon you, but the necessity for it. You have no longer a choice if you wish to meet fair fortune in this world. There is no longer a choice between ignorance and knowledge. Such is the progress of improvement in all the conduct of man in the present day, that the time is rapidly ap proaching when what was formerly the rudest labour of this parish will be conducted only by men of intelligence, and this con sideration should influence you all. The population of our parish is very peculiar ; the means of em ployment are derived from two sources—from the cultivation of the soil and from manufacture ; and it is a combination not usual in the parishes of our country. It bas hitherto been always considered that if any person gave himself up to manufacture a degree of intelligence was required superior to that of a lad who followed the plough. That time has passed, and but a short time will elapse before the intelligence required by the lads who follow the plough will be greater, if possible, than that at pre sent required of the manufacturer, who now obtains a much higher rate of wages than the ploughman. You will not therefore have the opportunity of choosing, as you did years ago in this parish, be tween the class of labour you will have to follow. Boys used to say, " I am no scholar, 1 will therefore follow the plough." But that time has passed, and in another year perhaps no person will be able to follow the plough unless he has a large amount of intelligence. You see, therefore, that it is abso lutely necessary that the population of every parish and even of a scattered district like that in which we live, should most seriously consider the import ance of being educated, and the necessity of the mean by which that education should be obtained. Now, to read, write, and cipher will be the three things absolutely necessary for the next generation, whatever may be their occupation, and therefore I press on you the great importance of taking ad vantage of the school and of the opportunities now within your reach. I know that it is the custom for boys to leave school at an early age in order to obtain wages for their labour, and that on this account it is difficult for them to remain long enough to obtain that degree of education which is neces sary to qualify them for mimeses in life, and give them that sufficient amount of intelligence which is necessary for the competent performance of their duties hereafter. I know that it is thought most unreasonable to suppose that a lad who can sup port himself by his earnings should make what seems at first a very great sacrifice, and remain at school when he might earn wages; but he would in the end receive much larger wages had he taken advantage of the means. At the same time I know that the sacrifice is a real and a great one to remain at school when you can obtain a reward for your labour ; but I hope we may by other means assist those who are in this painful situation. I trust Ive shall be able to establish night schools, open at least in the summer months, when an opportunity will be given to lads who have not pursued their studies, and also to a generation before them, who never had these advantages, but who may thus keep abreast with the other generations. Instances are always much more valuable than general ad vice and observations; and I cannot help but call ing to your notice the case of two boys who have been educated at the parish school of Hughenden, 'without the advantages which we shall experience in the present establishment, and with as great dis advantages from our uncertain income and probably dwel ling-Tlace any parish school ever yet as experonced. I remember within the last 12 or 15 years two cases of boys who were educated, and who had na other education but such as was afforded by our poor perish school at Hughenden. The first was a boy who, I believe, has brot hers now in our school of very fair intelligence, great industry, and great integrity of conduct — as ne cessar y as intelli gence and industry; he availed himself of the ad yantages afforded by our little school, when they met in a hired room on the green ; he learned to read, write, and cipher ; he progressed in arithmetic so well that he got a place as clerk, in which he deported hi:nself with great correctness, and his character was mentioned in that way which was most satisfactory to all who knew him. After he bad been two or three years employed, and had risen in society by his industry and intelligence , he lost his clerkship, but from no fault of his own ; was acquainted with him and his merits, and in troduced him into the Civil Service, and that boy, now a young man, occupies a very distinguished post' her Majesty's service. He is an officer of civil rank, an officer highly esteemed, and enjoying a considerable income, likely to rise even to an emi nent positioo, and the only education he ever re ceived was obteined from our school on the village- That is a very encouraging case, and there is not th e least reason why others should not be ,equally fortunate. The second was the son of a tarmer, bat his education was the same as the son of a labouring man. He was intelligent, most in dustrious, and equally distinguished for his moral conduct and integrity. That young man is at this moment the h ea d of a large mercantile establish ment, and likely to rise to high civil dignity. Both these .men are now very young, and both of them I have frequently seen in smock frocks when boys on the green. They obtained no other education than that afforded here, but now bath of them are fully competent to conduct affairs of the greatest moment and with men of the highest importance. I should be extremely sorry if we should i n thi s school be cut out by the pupils of our much humbler school in days gone by. I hope to find such an at- I tendance here, devotion of purpose and emulation and exertion among the scholars, that they will rival, and successfully, those two instances I have mentioned. You have great advantages here. I feel myself greatly obliged to the venerable arch deacon for coming to our humble building and importance to that undertaking. You have givi the a dvan tage of a parish iest who is rega r d e d and respected by all, even those who may not belong to his communion, -an d their children may enter h i m with a welcome look. this school. Always see e is one who ent ers into every co ttage, not from Hea feeling of intrus ion, but from a f r iendship which I hope that this un- I believe is universally felt. he dertalzing will conduce , not only toe intelligence, n the but to the happiness and future wlfare of i habitants of this parish. The ARcsDrAcoN then said—l hardly like to leave the position Wttich 1 have enjoyed today (without asking you to give the expression of your best thanks to the lord of the manor, not only for the very great aid he has rendered to the erection of this school, but for the very useful remarks and observations which he has made on be alf of this institution in his address. I rejoice ilia we meet on an occasion like this, and . that we meet on so bright a day, and I hope that that sun which now shines so brightly on our work is an emblem that we have the smile of our God in this undertaking. About 5 o'clock the company dispersed, the chil dren remaining to partake of tea in the schoolroom SHIPWRECK ON THE KIN7YRE COAST, AND LOST OF FOUR LIVES. We regret to learn that the ship Geneva, of Lon don, between 600 and 800 tons burden, was totally lost on Monday evening, by being driven ashore at the Mull of Kintyre, to the south of Carskey Bay, and four of her crew perished in presence of several people on the shore, who could render no assistance, in consequence of the stormy state of the weather. The Geneva sailed from Quebec to Antwerp, timber laden, and on the 24th September she was aban doned, in a sinking state, in lat. 46 N., long 34 W. Her crew were subsequently picked up by the Prus sian brig Louisa, from New York, and landed at Queenstown on the 4th of October. Some time after the ship had been abandoned she was discovered by the crew of the St. Michael, of Glasgow, Capt. Boyd, which sailed from London for Montreal on the 13th September last, about the same latitude, viz., near the Banks of Newfoundland. The Geneva was boarded, when it was discovered that she had been ' abandoned, and her papers taken away, the only living creature on board being a poor cat which had been left behind to perish in the sinking vessel. Wm. Fordyce, belonging to Shetland, mate of the St. Michael, and four of the crew, volunteered to take charge of the waterlogged ship, and endeavour to take her into Glasgow, believing, as they did, that there was a possibility of so doing. They were accordingly permitted to take charge of the ship. The undertaking, which was of the most daring cha racter, was pretty successful till Monday, when the vessel approached the Kintyre coast. The weather became most tempestuous, and, notwithstanding the mate and crew used every effort to preserve the ship, by keeping her off the shore, they were unable to do so, and she struck about 6 o'clock near the place we have named, and so rough was the sea, that by 11 o'clock at night she had gone to pieces, about 300 yards from the shore. From the time the vessel struck till she went to pieces the waves continued to dash oyez her, and when the fatal moment arrived —when she broke up in hundreds of pieces —the scene was one of the most heartrending description. On the shore were standing men with brave hearts, hearing the cries for help of their drowning fellow beings, as they drifted out to sea on pieces of wreck, but they were helpless—they could render no as sistance, and four of the brave seamen perished in the waves—the mate (who had acted as temporary master of the derelict) alone escaping with his life. And his escape was a most miraculous one. When the ship broke up he leapt upon a piece of the wreck, and was tossed to and fro from eleven o'clock at night till nearly five in the morning, when his tiny raft was floated near shore, and he expected every moment to be dashed to pieces against the rocks. His case was a desperate one, and, after watching for some time, he made a most deter mined leap, and, though he fell short he was assisted by those who had gathered on the rocks, and was ultimately saved. When the perilous position of the Geneva was first discovered infor mation was sent to Campbletown, and the lifeboat, which was stationed there last year, was, without delay, conveyed, with a first rate crew, under Mr. Watson (Lloyd's agent), to the scene of the disaster. The boat was launched with great diffi culty, and pulled towards the wreck ; but, un fortunately, she was too late—the poor fellows, who had clung to parts of the wreck or cargo, having all disappeared. The Geneva, as we have already said, broke up quickly, and all vestige of her (with the exception of her floating cargo and wreck) soon disappeared. The logs of timber, of which her cargo was composed, will be drifting about for some time, and masters of steamers and other vessels would do well do keep a sharp look-out for such floating wreck. In connection with this dis astrous event the following incident is worth re cording. As we have already said, the only living creature found on board the derelict was a cat. The poor animal, with the instinct natural to its species, was alive to danger the moment the Geneva struck ; and when the mate made the leap upon the piece of wreck, the cat almost simultane ously leapt upon his neck, and clung there during the whole time he was tossed about. Every move ment he made was watched by the poor animal ; and when he made the leap by which he was to live or die the poor grimalkin made a bound at the same moment, and reached the rocks in safety, amongst which it concealed itself. The Kintyre coast, as is well known, is a most dangerous one, and has fre quently been the scene of many disasters similar to the above ; but although this is the case, we regret that the communication between that coast and Glasgow is not so expeditious as it should be. For instance, although the Geneva was wrecked on Monday evening, no definite information regarding the disaster was received in Glasgow till Wednes day at midday. This want is one which could be remedied, and it is worthy the consideration of ship owners and others interested whether a telegraphic communication could not be established for the pur pose desired. EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPTED INFAN- TICIDE AT BATS, An extraordinary case involving an attempt at infanticide, but which was fortunately detected and prevented, came before the Bath magistrates on Wednesday morning. Sarah Caseley, a young woman of respectable demeanour, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to murder a new-born infant. The mother of the infant, named Caroline Nicholls, is in custody, but not in a fit state to be brought up. It appears that shortly after ten o'clock night three y oung women , m e, White, a n d anot h er, were n a ad H o n u e T k s e h s r d i a d y g passing along the gravel walk, near the Victoria Park, when their attention was called to two females —who proved after to be Caseley and Nicholls— near the bottom of the path; from their cries the three wept towards them, and found Nicholls groan ing, and in a condition that indicated that she was about to be confined of a child. In a few minutes it was evident that the woman had been delivered, for Caseley was seen to pick up an infant from the ground, and to throw it over the park rails amongst the shrubbery. The cries of the child tended to con firm the belief that the prisoners were attempting to get rid of it. Directly on this, Caseley was heard to say to the other, "Now then," and both took to their heels and ran off. White and one of her companions pursued them. Nicholls, extraordinary to say, escaped. Caseley, however, having a larger bundle of wearing apparel, which hampered her progress, was overtaken at the corner of Gay-street, and secured. The women charged her with having thrown a babyover the rails, and desired her to go back and take it out. She went back with them, though un willingly to the gravel walk, and then denied throwing the child over; but Hucklebridge had in the meantime scrambled over into the park, and there found the child covered with some clothes, but which bad not been fastened round it. When asked if she did not hear the baby cry, Caseley did not reply, and threw down her bundle, saying she would not carry it any fur -1 t ta h hn e ed r. iwn She was detained till the screams of hisen n a n t s tr to a d c y ted she a w p as o g li i ce e m n a . n to the spot, women Hucklebridge wrapped the infant in her shawl, and accompanied the officer and his charge t o th e po li ce - s t a ti on .

She was, extraordinary to say, found at her home, a t Batheaston, but, as may be imagined, was in a sad state from the peril she had exposed herself to. As she could not be removed, she has been placed un der the surveillance of a policeman's wife. It is not a little extraordinary that both the women in custody are married, and Nicholls has a large family. The reason alleged for the attempt to get rid of the child is that Nicholls's husband has been in Wales at work for the last two years past, and the child just born is the result of an illicit intercourse with another man. Caselev, as we have said, was brought up before the Bench on Wednesday, and, some evi dence having been gone into, she was remanded for a week, to await the restoration of her companion to convalescence.— Western Daily Press. THE .RIO7S A 7 BIRKENHEAD. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. Notwithstanding the rumours prevalent yester day afternoon that there was to be a repetition of the previous night's rioting, and that the mob in tended to attempt the rescue of their comrades in custody, yet the peace of the town was not disturbed, and the presence of 200 of the Liverpool constabu lary and the county and borough police, though useful, were happily not required to suppress any outrage on the part of the mob. A statement has been promulgated to the effect that on Wednesday night a Roman Catholic priest was observed inciting the populace to attack the police and the special constables. We must now, however, state in justice to the rev. gentleman al luded to, that so far from encouraging the mob in the lawless outrages he did his utmost to pacify the ex cited people. His good intentions, like those of many other people,were misrepresented, owing to the con fusion and uproar ; and with a view of drawing off the crowd and gaining their attention, he frequently cried out, " Three cheers for the Queen," which were heartily responed to. Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Walsh and several other Roman Catholic cler gymen went over to Birkenhead, visited the dis turbed districts, and probably by their persuasions and advice, the excitement of the people was re duced, and all intentions of another row abandoned. The injured constables still continue in a state of great prostration, but no fatal results are expected. The great farce of locking the stable door after the escape of the horse was yesterday repeated by the Birkenhead magistrates in the course of the afternoon, who decided by a considerable majority, that in case of riot, the town should be placed in the hands of Col. Adams and a detachment of the 49th Regt., the Colonel distinctly understanding that in the event of his services being required his men would not fix bayonets, but would ply the rioters with ball until the disturbance should be quelled, the orders from the War-office not mean ing much " wounding in the legs, but death." For tunately the people were quiet, and the butchery of a second Peterloo was prevented. As an instance, however, of the injudiciousness of the police and the volunteers, we may state that on Wednesday night a squad of policemen, while passing some of the mob, cheered lustily for Garibaldi ; while last night, as if to provoke a row, when all was quiet, the volunteers under Lieut.- King, gave three cheers for Garibaldi, as many for each of the magistrates, Mr. Laird and Col. King, followed by three deep groans for the Pope, and three still deeper for the Emperor of the French. THE LATE STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT ON THE TYNE. NEWCASTLE -ON-TYNE, OCT. 16. Mr. Hoyle, the coroner for this borough, has just concluded a three days' inquiry into the circum stances of the collision below Bill Point, on the Tyne, on Tuesday night week, between the Tyne mouth and Forester, passenger steamers, by which the latter was immediately sunk and four persons drowned, and a fifth, a woman, subsequently died from the effects of the shock upon her system, she having lost a little boy, her son, who was washed out of her arms, and whose body has not been re covered. The name of the poor woman was Eleanor Wilkinson, belonging to Stella, who was returning from visiting some friends down the water at the time of the collision. It will be remembered that the Tynemouth was coming down from Newcastle between six and seven o'clock on the night of Tuesday the 7th, to proceed to Shields, and had got round Bill Point into Bill Reach, above the Walker Ironworks, when she met the Forester, and ran into her, and sunk her in three minutes. About 20 witnesses were examined by the coroner and jury, and though the evidence of neither boat's crew was taken, as is always the case in collisions, the testimony of the witnesses was of the most con flicting character. The Tynemouth was coming down on the ebb at the time of the collision, and the rule of the road was, that she should have been on the port or south side of the river, and the Forester on the larboard side. Several passengers, who were on board the Forester when the occurrence took place,swore that the Tynemouth was on the north, and, therefore, on the wrong side of the river, and nearly drove the Forester ashore; as the crew of the latter vessel attempted to avoid coming into collision with her. Whereas, all the passengers, who were on board the Tynemouth when the collision took place,swore that the Forester was on the south side of the chan nel of the river as she was meeting theTynemouth, and caused the collision by putting her helm a-port when it was too late; and by doing so, lying her self athwart the Tynemouth bows. The jury had a long consultation before they came to a verdict; but ultimately returned the following, "That the deceased, David Sheriff, and others, were drowned in the water of the River Tyne, in consequence of a collision between the steamers Forester and Tyne mouth, and that such collision took place by reason of the Tynemouth being out of her proper course." POACHING I uPERTIN_ENCE. At Sutton-in-Ashfield, Samuel Slack and Joseph Murray, both of Mansfield, were charged with having rabbits unlawfully obtained, and being in possession of nets for taking game, on the 31st ult. Police-constable Butler deposed—About a quar ter-past four o'clock on Sunday morning, the 31st ult., I was on duty in Newgate-lane, Mansfield, in company with police-const , ble Richard Hind and police-constable William Hall. I saw Joseph Murray come out of a farmyard, in a field belong ing to Mary Watkinson, and walk towards me. I was concealed behind a gate-post. When he came near me I went up to him and said, " Now, Murray, I must search you." He said, " Very well." ,e; more l o s r e e arched him, but found nothing on him. He had a large rough dog with him. When I li th a e a re went away. me be sto ppe d W finished searching him. he said, " You see ways of doing it than one."

In de fence Slack said, " I'd no notice given me about the new act, which I ought to have had. If I go and take the wild animals in the air, I consider they are mine. If we are not taken on the sp ot where we get the game, I consider we are free Sir E. S. Walker — You have awrheennlywpergopeetrhtyn.r with it.

Hall I— We have not the slightest doubt upon our mind but that you were in company. You will be fined £5 each, or three months' imprisonment, the rab bits to he sold, and the nets destroyed. The pri soners were committed, and became very abusive as they were being taken out of court. Addressing Sir Edward, Murray said, "Yon may be dead when I come out, but your game will not. I'll do for you yet, so help me God." STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Oct. 17.—The yarn market has been very quiet to-day, and there has been no busi ness of moment for any market. There has been a little inquiry for India and also for the Mediterra nean, resulting in a few small purchases, but at rather lower prices. The market generally is affected by the decline in cotton at Liverpool, which is telegraphed at 2d. lower for American, and ld. to 11d. per lb. for other descriptions. This is, no doubt, chiefly owing to the large arrivals of Surats during last and the present week. It will have been observed that the purchases for Liverpool during the whole week have not exceeded a few thousand bales for consumption, and spinners say a further decline of 9d. per lb. must take place before the mills will be likely to-open again. Some spin ners say they shall not recommence until cotton is down at 12d. per lb. The cloth market has con tinued flatter since Tuesday, with less and less in clination among buyers to operate. Under these circumstances all descriptions of cloth are weaker in price, shirtings being quoted at a decline of 9d. to ls. per piece down where sales have to be made. The feeling is generally that prices will further decline. Some of our large manufacturers are hold ing from a belief that we shall again see higher rates, but this belief is not largely shared in, and the market closes with a gloomy feeling and a general disinclination to do business. CARDIFF, Oct. 16.—There is evidence on every side of a considerable improvement in trade. The iron works of the district are doing well, and bet ter employment is afforded than has been the case for some time. Several extensive and rather unex pected orders have recently been received from America, which, despite the war and the protection tariff, continues to be a good customer. The pre sent quotations for rails at the works are £5 17s. 6d. to £6, and merchant bars firm at £5 12s. 6d. to £5 15s. An enormous quantity of coal has been brought down this month by the Taff Vale Rail way, and the shipments for October will show a very large increase as compared with the corre sponding month. Merchants are full of orders, and in many instances an advance of from 3d. to 6d. has been obtained on gas and house coals. POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE.—Oct. 17. MANSION-HOUSE.—A gentlemanly-looking young man, named Thos. Heaps, Was brought up, on remand, in custody of detective officer Sergt. Russell, before the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman Phillips, sitting in petty sessions, upon a charge of stealing an order for the payment otmoney to the amount of £65 75., the property of his employers, the Brighton Hotel Company. Mr. Bruton, the solicitor to the Brighton Hotel Company, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Wontner attended on behalf of the prisoner. The prisoner, it appeared, was, up to within a short time since, secretary to the company. On Aug. 13 an account was due from them to a firm named Barker and Son, of Birchin-lane, advertising agents, and at a board meeting on that day a cheque for £64 7s. was drawn and signed by two of the directors, and afterwards handed to the prisoner for the purpose of paying Messrs. Barkers' account. Evidence was adduced, however, to prove that the prisoner had never paid the account, but had paid the cheque into his own account at Messrs. Master mans. where he kept an account. Mr. Bruton, on the part of the prosecutors, said he was instructed to inform his lordship that, taking into consideration the prisoner's respectability, and the good character he had previously borne, the pro secutors were not desirous of pressing the charge to the utmost ; but if his lordship was of opinion that the ends of justice would be served by the case be ing summarily disposed of, they would rather it should be so, and that the prisoner should be dealt with for the simple larceny. His lordship asked if the directors of the company had had confidence in him up to this occurrence. The minute-book was produced, and the resolution was read, which was dated Sept. 1, and stated that, although they had every confidence in the honesty and integrity of the prisoner, still they thought he was not sufficiently experienced to act as secretary. The prisoner was then asked what he had to say, and he pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Wontner said the prisoner felt deeply the effect of his conduct, and that it would be a warn ing to him for the rest of his life. He was truly grateful for the recommendation of the prosecutors. He had always borne a good character, and had been seven years in an insurance office of the highest re spectability, and had never up to the present time had the slightest taint upon his character. He had been overtaken by pecuniary pressure, and pro ceedings having been taken against him for the re covery of debts he had somewhat unwisely incurred, he had not sufficient strength of mind to combat with the temptation which offered itself. The Lord Mayor, after conferring for some time with Mr. Alderman Phillips, said, under all the circumstances, and considering the very strong re commendation of the prosecutors, a n d th e hi g h character which the prisoner had previously borne, he and his brother magistrate thought the ends of justice would be met if the case were dealt with there. They thought it their duty, however, to in flict the highest amount of punishment within their power, which was six months' imprisonment. The prisoner was accordingly sentenced to six calendar months' imprisonment, with hard labour. BOW-STREET.—A TRIP TO MANCHESTER.—A stableman, named Nathan Osborn, who had been apprehended at Manchester by Sergeant Franklin, of the E division, was charged with stealing £4 17s. in money, a pair of cab wheels, a coat, and a pair of boots, with other articles, to the value of £7 35., the property of his employer, Mr. Thomas Cooper, of Montague-mews, cab proprietor. Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, opened the case for the prosecution, and stated that the prisoner had been for about six months in the employment of Mr. Cooper. On the Bth inst. Mr. Cooper went out of town for the pm pose of attending a horse fair, and left the prisoner in charge of his establishment, with instructions to receive the moneys brought in by the cab-drivers, and also a sum or £3 10s., the balance of the price of a cab which Mr. Cooper had sold to another cab proprietor, and which the prisoner was to giv e up on rece i pt o f t h at sum . The money was paid to the prisoner by the pur chaser, who took away the cab on the 9th instant, and on that and the following day the prisoner also received from two cab drivers sums of money amounting to £1 7s. On the 10th he absconded, and Mr. Cooper, returning to town on the 11th, found that the prisoner had taken away the money and the articles above mentioned. It was known that he w.s a Manchester man, and had come to London with the Manchester omni buses lately introduced into London, remainingin the service of the Manchester Omnibus Company (in London), until their omnibuses were purchased by the London General Omnibus Company, when of course they had no further need of his services, and he went into •the employ of Mr. Cooper. Upon information of these circumstances, Sergeant Franklin caused inquiries to be made at Manchester, and found that the prisoner had returned to his wife, who was living there. Franklin telegraphed to the Manchester police to detain the prisoner, and went down there himself to bring him to London. The prisoner acknowledged that he had taken the money and had got drunk and spent it, but said he intended to return to London on Friday (yester day). and settle it with his master. He denied all knowledge of the wheels. He was wearing the prosecutor's coat when apprehended. Evidence of these facts was given by Mr. Cooper, the prosecutor, Mr. Robertson, another cab pro prietor, who was present when the prisoner received the £3105., Sergeant Franklin, and other witnesses, and the prisoner was committed for trial. LAMBETH.—RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY. —Mrs. Jane Yates, who described herself as a mar ried woman, residing at 24, Wheeler-street, Spital fields, was charged with having in her possession two hair brushes, the property of Mr. Francis Cramp, of the Elms, Syclenham-road and which formed a por tion of property to the amount of from £7O to £BO, stolen from the residence of the prosecutor on the and that evening of Monday last. the magistrate that on Tuesday last a young man of Mr. Inspector Bond, of the P division, informed the name of Horme, was charged before Mr. Elliott, led d eping clos e on suspicion of being concerned with others not in custody, in an extensive jewel robbery at Norwood, house k of the female at the bar, the officers were person having given his address at the to the fact of her ( • ' ) apprehension. Sergeant the prisoner s watch on it, and what occurred there Stephen Baldwin, 29 P, said that on Tuesday night last he was in Wheeler-street, Spital fields, in co mpany with Sergeant Harris of the A division, when three men came out of the house of the prisoner, one carrying a. carpet-bag. The moment these men saw them, the man with the carpet-bag dropped it, and all three ran away. He (Baldwin followed and secured one of them and Harris the other, and after locking both up in the station• house on suspicion of stealing a quantity of female wearing apparel which formed the contents of the bag, they searched the house of the prisoner. In a cupboard under the prisoner's bedroom he (Baldwin) found the two valuable hair brushes produced ; and on asking the prisoner how she came by them, she said she had purchased them in " the lane" on Sunday morning last, and that she had a bill and receipt to prove it ; but she did not pro duce either bill or receipt. Mr. Norton—The robbery was not, as I under stand, committed until the Monday afternoon; so that her statement of purchasing the brushes on Sunday morning could not he true. Baldwin—lt cannot, your worship. The pro perly was safe on Monday mid-day. Mr. Norton—Did you find any other property at the house of the prisoner ? Baldwin—Not connected with the robbery ; but a life-preserver, two screw-drivers, which had evi dently been a good deal used, and a French-made time-piece, which we have no doubt has been stolen, were found, and will be produced. Sergeant Harris and Police-constable Kenwood, 194 H, corroborated the testimony of Sergeant Bald win, and produced the articles found at the prisoner's house. Thomas Ellis, footman to Mr. Francis Cramp, of Sydenham-road, said that on Monday afternoon last the house of his master had been entered by some thief, who carried off property amounting to £7O or £BO, and amongst it a dressing case from his mis tress's bedroom, which contained the brushes pro duced. Mr. Norton—How do you know they were the same ? Witness—By their having my master's crest and I am quite sure they are the property of my master. The prisoner, after receiving the usual caution, made a rambling statement about her husband ill using her, and his being away from his home since Monday last. She also said her husband was a shoemaker, and carried on his business at the house at which she was taken. Inspector Bond said that no husband had been seen there since Monday last, and applied for a re mand, which the magistrate granted, and the pri soner was removed from the bar. THAMES.—A WICKED GlRL.—Sarah Evans, aged 17, a servant girl, and Joseph Thomas, a smith, aged 30, were brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, the female charged with stealing a cash-box containing £4 10s., two cotton dresses, three petti coats, and other articles, the property of Mary Marshall, a schoolmistress, of No. 2, Thomas-street., Stainsby road, Poplar, and the other with receiv £4 of the stolen money, with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Chas. Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Smith defended Evans; and Mr. Stoddart appeared for Thomas, who had been at large on his own reeognisances for a week. On the prisoners being arraigned, Mr. Selfe ad dressed the girl, and pointing to Thomas said—ls that the man you mean ? Evans—Yes, sir; he had £4 of the money. Mr. Stoddart—She mentioned the name of John Barron when she was here last Friday. This man's name is Thomas. . . Mr. Selfe—l don't recollect her mentioning any name. Is there any evidence against the man ? Mr. Young—None, sir. He was arrested on the information of the girl. Mr. Stoddart—There is not a particle of truth in her statement that he instigated her to rob her mistress, and demanded £4 of the money, which she said she gave him. He does not know the girl. He never saw her before. Her statement concern ing him is a wicked falsehood. He is a married man of great respectability, and his masters, Messrs. Bradshaw and Whilton, ship smiths, are here to give him a good character. Mr. Selfe—Thomas is discharged. The deposi tions against the girl will now be taken. The evidence against the girl proved that she had exhibited great wickedness end cunning. It ap peared that she was formerly in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins, of Boundary-place, Poplar, and that Mrs. Marshall was in the practise of visiting them. On the 21st of August last Mrs. Marshall paid a visit to Mr. Hutchins, and took with her a little girl, her daughter, Before leaving home she placed two cotton dresses, a merino petticoat, and three other petticoats across a chair in her back parlour, and in the folds of the garments, carefully secreted, she deposited a cash-box, containing £4los. in gold, a gold ring, and a brooch. In the evening, about six o'clock, Mrs. Marshall requested the pri soner to go to her house in Thomas-street, and take care of it until her return, and take the little girl with her to keep her company. Mrs. Marshall returned to her home about 10 o'clock at night, and the pri soner came running to the door, and said, " Oh, ma'am, I have had such a great fright. I saw a man looking over the garden wall at me." Mrs. Marshall said, "Oh, nonsense; you are always telling me some idle story," and went into her house, which the prisoner immediately quitted. A few minutes afterwards Mrs. Marshall noticed that the window of the back parlour was open, and missed the dresses and petticoats, the cash-box which they enveloped, and several other things. On the following morning Mrs. Marshall explained to the prisoner how she had been robbed, but did not suspect her. The girl expressed great surprise. On the 9th inst. the pri soner was a witness against a lad named John Bar ron, who was charged with breaking 38 panes of glass in the house of her master, Mr. Hutchins. The girl swore positively that she saw Barron, a few minutes after 6 o'clock the previous evening, throw ing stones at her master's windows. Mr. Stoddart called witnesses who proved the lad was elsewhere at the time; the girl was disbelieved, and the ac cused was discharged. On the same night, and the night before, stones were thrown at Mrs. Marshall's windows, and several panes of glass broken. The prisoner was detected in the act of throwing stones at the windows on the evening of the 9th instant, taken into custody, and confronted with Mrs. Mar shall, who said to her, " Sarah, how could you be so wicked as to do this, after destroying your mas ter's windows ?" The prisoner equivocated, and said " A girl with me did it." Mrs. Marshall said, " I must have a policeman ; you did it, Sarah." The girl then admitted she had broken the windows, and was directly taxed with committing the rob bery on Aug. 21st, with stealing a sovereign which Mrs. Marshall missed some time ago, and with hav ing robbed her master Mr. Hutchins, directly after the death of his wife, and while the dead body of her mistress was lying in the house. The prisoner after considerable prevarication and hesitation, ad mitted having committed all the robberies, and to have broken her master's windows. She also said that a man with whom she was acquainted insti gated her to commit the robbery. On 21st August he took four sovereigns out of the cash-box and gave her a half-sovereign, and threatened to kill her if she divulged to any one what they had done. The prisoner, in answer to other questions, said she had sold the petticoats, ring, and brooch, and spent the money upon herself. The brooch and ring, a portion of the trinkets token out of the cash-•box, were pro duced by Mr. Thomas Parker, a jeweller, of No. 2, Granby-street, Poplar, who bought them of the prisoner in August last. They were identified by Mrs. Marshall. The prisoner admitted after she was in custody that she had told lies to the police court on the 9th instant, and that Barron was not the person who broke her master's windows. There was no doubt whatever that she had done the mischief herself. The charge of robbing Mr. Hutchins while his wife was lying dead in the house was not pressed. None of the property has been recovered. F. Watkinson, a police-constable, 214 K, said he took Thomas into custody on the description given of him by the girl Evans, who mentioned his name, address, and occupation. Mr. Stoddart—There was not the slightest pre text for taking this young man into custody on the unsupported statement of a wicked girl, who had committed several robberies, plundered the room in which her dead mistress was lying, and had also broken windows. Tho prisoner, who sobbed loudly, said she was guilty. _ Mr. Smith was anxious to say a few words for the unfortunate prisoner before she was sentenced. She had been well educated, was respectahly connected, and the pride of her parents, who were deeply grieved to see her in such a position as this. She conducted herself well until she formed an intimacy wall a man who had led her into the commission of crime, and seduced her. She was now in the family way, by him. The girl assured him end assured her parents, that she had been instigated to commit the robberies by th e man, who threatened to do violence to her, to kill her, if she did not give him money. He (Mr. Smith) did not think the girl would have acted as she had done, if she had not been misled by some designing villain. Mr. Selfe —I don't believe the evidence or the story told by that girl in this court. She may have formed an improper connection with some man, but he would not have known a cash-box was wrapped up in some dresses, or that six sovereigns were de posited in a drawer in Mrs. Marshall's dwelling, 0r , ,. that the girl' s mistress was dead, an d propertyi value in the room where the body of Mrs. Hutchi ns on was lying, There was an amount of wickedn ess kiu. g ° the pa r t o f th e g i r l whi c h was qu ite A young and intelligent little girl, the da .y ug,mter. r of Mr s . M ars hall, was then questioned b house on Selfe, and said there was no intaz i n Aug. 21. The prisoner sent her out to buy apples. No man gave her money to buy apples. Mr. Selfe—The prisoner said a man gave the little girl a penny to buy apples. She has been lying throughout, and is not to be believed. She names a person here, and then charg ;s some one else. I should be doing this prisoner no good, and acting with injustice to others, if I did not sentence her to the full penalty of the law as far as it is entrusted to me. The prisoner is sentenced to be imprisoned for six months, and kept to hard labour. WESTMINSTER.—Thos. Fitzroy Beckham, a youth of 18, most respectably connected, was charged with the systematic embezzlement of divers sums of money belonging to the Loudon, Chatham, and Dover Railway Compaay. Mr. E. Freshfield, solicitor to the company, pro secuted. The circumstances of the case are as follow : The prisoner was clerk at the Victoria station, and it was his duty to receive money for excess luggage in the Continental Baggage Department. It is the custom to put the luggage of travellers to Calais, Paris, and Germany on the weighing-machine, and the porter then calls out the weight to the clerk in the office, who immediately takes the amount for the conveyance of the baggage to its destination. He then makes out tickets for the passenger and guard, and a way-bill 'for the latter, which goes abroad with the property, where it remains a month, and is then sent back to the company. A duplicate ticket should be sent by the clerk to the audit-office of the company, and the several sums he receives ought to be entered in his book and duly accounted for. The prisoner, in the exercise of this office, neglected on many days throughout the last month to account in any way for the excess of bag gage in his book, or on what should have been the counterpart of the ticket given to the passenger, and it was not until the return of the waybills from the Northern of France Railway that the defalcations were discovered. Mr. Mapleston, superintendent of the audit-office, proved that the prisoner had neglected to account for or enter in his book 30s. received on the 27th September for an excess of 200 lbs. in the weight of ten packages ; £2 18s- 6d. received on the 28th Sep tember for an excess of 392 lbs., and 19s. 6d. received on the 29th September for an excess of 130 lbs., which in the ordinary course of business he must have received. Mr. Lewis, jun., on behalf of the prisoner, inquired whether foreigners did not sometimes pay for their luggage in coin of their own countries. Mr. Mapleston replied in the affirmative. Mr. Lewis urged that his client, being unac qtainted with the value of foreign coins, might have made mistakes in giving change. Mr. Paynter observed that, in the event of such a mistake, there might be some deficiency, but not a total neglect to enter or account for the whole amount received. Mt% Freshfield requested a remand of a fortnight in order to produce witnesses from the Continent, whose money had not been accounted for, to prove the payment. Mr. Lewis requested that his client might be ad mitted to bail, and he hoped that, in consideration of his respectability and extreme youth, the direc tors of the company would take a humane view of the matter, and tliat the magistrate would not be again troubled with the case. Mr. Freshfield said he knew nothing whatever about that ; and the question of bail be should be most happy to leave in the magistrate's hands. Bail was accepted for the prisoner's reappearance in a week, when another remand will be granted, if requisite. 4 •~ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET RACES, FRIDAY.

The Paris police has just discovered a complete laboratory, organised on a large scale, for the manufacture of forged bills on many of the principal mercantile houses of France, and indeed of all Europe. This nefarious scheme was discovered almost accidentally, and before any mischief had been done. A few days since a stranger en' tered the establishment of M. Leon, a Toney-changer, and requested him to cash a rather heavy bill, bearing the sig nature of " Pascal-file," one of the houses of Marseilles• M. Leon requested his customer to call for the money in as hour, and in the meantime took measures to ascertain the genuineness of the bill. On inquiring at a banker's he had the good fortune to meet with a gentleman who well knevr Pascal's signature, and who at once declared the bill is question to be a forgery. M. Leon then applied to the police, and when the stranger returned he was arrested• The importance of the capture became evident on visiting the prisoner's lodgings, for there an immense number of similar bills ready for negotiation were discovered, with al l the instruments and materials necessary for their fabrics' tion, and a considerable amount of cash and valuables be sides. Another man, the principal forger, as it appears' and three women, were also arrested. On his premise ° were found engraved signatures, stamps of many French and foreign firms, as well as models of their engraved billet which would have sufficed to deceive any one not acquainted with the actual signature of the parties. It was afterward° ascertained that M. Leon's customer had succeeded in ob taining an advance of 1,200 f. from another changer on twg forged bills.
