Michael Murphy, an Irishman, was brought up on re mand, charged with robbing Mr. Wood, greengrocer. From the evidence it appeared the prisoner was standing among the crowd around Morris's stand, in Covent-garden Market, when he was observed by Alderman, one of the officers, to place his hand in the pocket of Mr. Wood, who was making purchases in that part of the market. Mr. Wood, however, was not in attendance this morn ing, and the magistrate thought he could not dispose of the case in his absence. Prisoner—Your worship, the reason he's not here is that he's lost nothing. Alderman—lie told me, your worship, that he had lost some copper money from his pocket. Prisoner—Hear him, your worship ; the lying scoundrel, why he took the halfpence out of his own pocket and threw them on the ground, and then collared me and said I stole 'em, the dirty scut. (Laughter.) Alderman—l can produce three or four witnesses who saw him commit the robbery. Prisoner —Can you ; then, why don't you ? The only thing you can do is lying, and that you're out and out at. (Laughter.) Why, 3 e're honour, he never speaks the truth at all. Mr. Wood didn't loose a copper. Why, the man who was selling the goods can tell you that, as he heard what Mr. Wood said, if you'll just have the kindness to go round and sce hint after you've done your work. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry—l shall remand you until Mr. Wood is pre sent. lam told he'll be hero on Monday. Prisoner—That's right, your honour. He'll tell you the truth. That lying varmint can't do it. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry (to the constable)—You have no doubt about seeing the prisoner take the halfpence out of the raan'B pocket. Alderman—Not the least. Two or three ether parties saw him do it. He made two or three attempts. Prisoner—Oh the likes o' that now. He'll get it to twenty before he's done. I told your worship what a dirty blackguard he is—me rob a man. I suppose the man who he says I robbed would know it if he was ; yet he said he lost nothing, so how could I rob him. That's what I should like to know. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry—Well, we will have him here on Monday, and then he can tell his own story. Prisoner—That's right, your honour. You'll have the truth then. As for that lying vagabond he never told a word of truth in his life, and never will until his head's cut off. (Laughter.) I wonder he did't say your worship took the money. He's bad Enough for anything, (Laughter.) The prisoner was then locked up. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at their offices in Spring-gar dens—Mr. J. Wilkinson in the chair. The cash statement showed that the cash balances in the hands of the treasurer were, on current accounts, £116,737 6s. 10d.; on deposit accounts, £10,470; and on current ac counts, a%892 ss. I Id. SOUTHERN LOW LEVEL SEWER.—BERMONDSEY BRANCH. The board received tenders for the construction of the Bermondsey branch of the southern low level sewer. The amounts offered were as folio u s :—Messrs. Peto and Betts, £97,523; Mr. W. Davis, £119,430; Messrs. John Aird and Son, £107,000; Mr. W. Webster, £119,500; Mr. J. Dethick, £126,077; Mr. W. Lavers, £124,000; and Mr. W. Moxon, £99,875. Messrs. Peto and Betts' tender was accepted. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. Mr. Deputy HARRISON moved—" That a committee of the whole board be appointed to consider what steps it will be necessary at once to take for the purpose of putting in force the provisions of the Thames Embankment Act, 1862. The object of his motion was to have the whole board to consider the question, as it was too important a matter to delegate to a sub-committee. Mr. ROBINSON seconded the motion. Mr. FREEMAN moved as an amendment—" That the Thames Embankment Act be referred to a committee now to be appointed with so much and so many of the powers and authorities and discretions by this act given to and re posed in the board, as the board shall think fit or proper to delegate to such committee; and that such committee, upon their appointment, be authorised to put in force the powers in the aforesaid set." He referred to the working of the main Drainage committee, and from his experience of the working of commit ees of the whole board, he thought this would be the best course to pursue. Mr. ROBINSON objected to the amendment, because it was necessary that some inquiry should be made before the board delegated its powers to any committee. Inquiry was wanted, and the object of the motion was to obtain that in formation through a preliminary committee. Mr. Douvrox supported the amendment, and considered if the deputy's motion were taken nothing would be done in the matter. A long discussion ensued ; when the board divided, and the numbers were 17 on either side. The CHAIRMAN declined to give a casting vote, and ex plained his object for so doing was that he would not decide a question of such importance. The result of his refusal to vote would be that the amendment would drop, bat could be moved again by the hon. member, or any other member. Mr. DOULTON then moved an amendment to the motion, but Mr. SMITH, the solicitor to the board, expressed an opi nion that there would be some legal difficulties in carrying it out if agreed to. Mr. DOULTON thereupon withdrew it. The motion was agreed to unanimonsly. Mr. CARPMAEL then moved "That it be an instruction of this board to take such preliminary steps as may be con sidered necessary to prepare plans and specifications of the works necessary for the construction of an embankment on the north side of the Thames, between Blackfriars and Westminster Bridges, and for the construction of part of the low level sewer therein, in order that tenders may be obtained at the earliest period for the execution of such works." Mr. ROBINSON seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. After a great deal of discussion it was decided that the engineer be instructed to prepare such a model of the Thames between London and Westminster Bridges as may be necessary for the information of the board. EMBANKMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE THAMES. Mr. DOULTON called the attention of the board to the report of the Royal commission on an embankment for the south side of the river, and moved, " That it be referred to the main drainage committee to consider the course which this board ought to consider with reference thereto." It was a question whether Mr. Cowper would become the pro moter of that bill, and therefore the board ought to take matter up at once, in order to get an Act of Parliament next session. Mr. CARPMAEL seconded the motion. The motion was agreed to. The routine business having been disposed of, the board adjourned. MARKETS-THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Frederi( k Larard, in Mr. Hennessey's employ, confirmed Mr. Hennessey's statement. David Claik, of 6, Silver-street, greengrocer, proved buying a chain of the prisoner for ss. Mr. Hennessey said they were worth 455. each. Webb, 112 C, proved finding six duplicates and two por• traits—one of the prisoner and the other of his young wo• man—on the prisoner. Mr. Leigh said the prisoner was evidently a dangerous person, and committed him for 6 months, with hard labour. THAMES. rHE EGG QUESTION..-- Catherine Connell,' a poor and industrious Irish woman of No. 8, Marmon-stree St. George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with being disorderly and assaulting Thomas Webb, shop man to a person named Tutton, a cheesemonger and provi sion dealer, of No. 10, King's place, Commercial-road. The complainant said the prisoner brought back some eggs she had purchased to the shop in which he was serv ing, and said they were bad. He refused to change them, and she abused him and threw the eggs at him. Mr. belie—And brae them ? Witness—They were aready breken in a basin, and she sent the basin at me, eggs and all, and they fell on my coat, Mr. Selfe—Were the eggs good when you sold them? Witness—l don't know. Mr. Selfe—Did you smell them ? Witness—l never smell eggs. The prisoner said that yeslerday afternoon she went to the complainant's shop and bought a rasher of bacon and four eggs, to make up a little dinner for herself, her husband, and four children. Two of the eggs were rotten, and when she went back and complained of them and asked that they be exchanged for good, she was threatened to be kicked into the street. The complainant tried to snatch the cup containing the bad eggs from her, and some of the contents went over him. The complainant—We don't warrant eggs 24 a shilling. Mr. Selfe—You have no right to sell bad eggs to any one. A policeman—She was very abusive in the streets, your worship. Mr. Selfe—l am not surprised at that. The poor woman lays out a few halfpence in purchasing a rasher of bacon and four eggs, and two are rotten. It is very provoking. The prisoner—l had a piece of bad pork from the same shop. Mr. Selfe—Don't deal there again. You may go. You aro discharged. ROBBERY BY A PORMIL—John Dawsell alias Webb, a porter, aged 29, was charged with robbing his employers. The prisoner had been in the service of Messrs. Shores and Brill, outfitters and tailors, of No. 90, High. street, Poplar, for two months. M r. Ri c h ar d B ar k er, the manag ing salesman of the fine having suspicion of him, and hav ing missed property at various times, looked into tha pri soner's boa which was open, and found in it a coat, a pair of trousers, a waistcoat, and two neckties, all new. They were worth £3. The prisoner was asked bow he dared to take the goods from the shop, and he said, " Well, I took them. I an, sorry for it." Ten days ago the various ar ticles were on the shelves in the shop. The pi isoner pleaded guilty, and was immediately sen tenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, WILD SPORTS TN THE EAST.—William Daly, an I r i s h labourer, aged 34, of 56, Cabel-street, Wellclose.square, was charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting several persons. The Prisoner paid a visit to the International Exhibitiod yesterday, and after feasting his eyes and improving his mind with the numberless objects to be seen there he came away contented and happy, and expressed himself that he had laid out his half-crown on a grand day most advan tageously, but, unfortunately, he spent another half-crown at various liquor shops on his way home, which he reached in a glorious state of intoxication. A row with all the in mates of his dwelling was the consequence. At midnight " tho fun grew fast and furious," and he had a " shindy" with his wife, who was also intoxicated. The prisoner struck his wife with his open hand. A woman named Julia Hurley, or Hely, hearing the screams of the wife, rushed upstairs to her room, and the p r i soner imme diately struck the woman, and seizing her hand with his teeth bit it severely. She roared out l ou d ly, " My hand's bitten," and John Sullivan, shoemaker, went to her assistance, and the prisoner bit off one of his eyebrows. Others attempted to seize the prisoner, who was like a madman, and tumbled over or knocked down every one who came near him. A policeman named Ri c h ar d s, N o. 46 H, rushed into the room and was about to seize the pri soner, who made a blow at him with a pair of tongs, but instead of hitting him the blow fell on Sullivan, who was felled to the ground, and on being raised was carried to the London Hospital. Mrs. Hurley was also taken there. Richards produced the tongs used by the prisoner. They were not damaged, but Sullivan's head was. Mr. Edward Gwynn, senior house surgeon of the Lon don Hospital, said that he dressed the wounds of the two witnesses, Hurley and Sullivan. The latter had a bite on the forehead and two lacerated wounds on the top of the head. The woman had been bitten on the band. The wounds on Sullivan's head might have been done with the tongs. The wounds were not serious ones. Th e prisoner, in defence, said it was the " dhrop taken, yer hannai's woitship, did all this little bit of mischief." He was sentenced to three months' im prisonment with hard labour. The Vauban and Gomer frigates, now at Toulon, have received orders from the Minister of Marine to make arrangements for conveying to Mexico, the former 100, and the latter 80 horses. At *the annual meeting of the Royal Insurance Company held yesterday at Liverpool, the report for 1861 showed that the premiums in the fire department amounted to £292,403, being an advance of £29,425 over 1860. The losses consequent on the Tooley-street fire having been specially provided for at the last annual meeting, the net profits of the fire branch for 1861 amount to £44,327. In the life branch the amount insured by new policies was .£521,101. The addition to the life fund during the year was £61,107, being 70 per cent. of the total premiums re ceived. A dividend of 3s. per share and a bonus of 4s. per' share, free of income•tax, were declared. CLEVER CAPTURE OF A TRIBF,---JaMeS Wood, de scribed as a bootmaker, was charged before Mr. Leigh, who sat for Mr. Knox, with the following robbery : Mr. John Hennessey, furniture warehouse keeper, of 122, Wardour-street, Soho, said that yesterday afternoon, in consequence of missing a leather covered chair, of the value of £2 55., from his shop, he made inquiry, and the result led him to believe it had been stolen. One of his young men informed him that he had seen a man loitering about the street, and, thinking the person might come again, he with his young men secreted himself behind a screen, and after they had been so hidden for some time, the prisoner walked into the shop, passed a quantity of other chairs, and selected one, which he put on his shoulder and walked off with. They then went after the prisoner, and took him back to the shop, and afterwards gave him in charge. The prisoner then said that if he (Mr. Hennessey) went with him he would show him where he had sold one of his chairs. In the evening one cf the officers (Sergeant Edwards) came to him and informed him that he had found one chair at the place where the prisoner had told him, but it was not of the same pattern, and on his (Mr. Hennessey) going to the place, No. 6, Silver-street, he found that although it was not the chair he was in search of, it was another chair belonging to him, so that instead of being robbed of two chairs, &c., he had been robbed of three. 7HE LIGHT BETWEEN THE ARKANSAS -RAM AND THE FEDERAL FLEEI The New York Tribune, of the 26th, has a 1 lengthy and spirited report of the attack of the Confederate ram Arkansas upon the Federal fleet at Vicksburg. The Tribune says :—" No one can fail to award credit to the Arkansas for extraordinary courage, and to confess that she has accomplished one of the most dashing feats of the war. She has braved our entire fleet, and run the gauntlet of our best vessels in broad daylight, and braved them in their chosen position. It certainly- is not gratify ing to our national pride to think that a small ves sel with 12 guns moved slowly, quietly, and un concernedly by 15 national vessels, carrying 200 guns, and escaped with impunity." It appears, from this report that the Arkansas commenced the attack by suddenly coming upon a naval detachment making a reconnaissance up the Z izoo river. She first chased a wooden steamer, the Tyler, killi ng and wounding upwards of thin ty of h er crew She then engaged the iron-clad gunboat Caron dolet, the crew of which vainly tried to board her. The Arkansas, however, burst one of the Carondo• let's steam pipes, and the crew were so frightened that some fifty of them jumped overboard, and many were drowned. The following is the de scription of the Arkansas :—" The Arkansas, which is a ram as well as a gunboat, is not more than half as large as one of Davis's gunboats; is low and flat, covered with double railway iron (T rail) ; built with slanting sides, without decks, or any openings or apertures save the ports; carries twelve large guns, three on each side, two fox ward, and two aft ; has one chimney, and looks almost, if not quite, invulnerable. She is of a light-brown hue, much like the banks of the Mississippi, and at a distance could not be well distinguished therefrom. No human being was visible on or about her, though her guns were promptly and accurately fired, and her unseen sharpshooters directed their pieces at every man they could see within range." After en gaging the Carondolet, and driving off the Queen, the Arkansas ran the gauntlet of the entire Federal fleet of 15 well-appointed war vessels. " This for midable array had no terror for the Arkansas. She moved on as if they had not been there, and many of the officers of the fleet were for a moment lost in wonderment at the extreme boldness of her most perilous attempt. As she moved down one of Far ragut's gun boats opened fire upon her—then another, and another. Whether they struck her or not I could not perceive, but their shot could not have harmed her. She replied promptly and the firing soon grew warm. I could hardly turn my eyes away from the small, strange, fearless craft descending the river, with the black trail above and behind her, and the baleful flash of her steadily replying guns." The Arkansas then engaged the Federal ram Lancaster, and burst her mud receiver, causing a fearful explosion of steam and the death of 11 persons. The other rams had not sufficient steam up to be of any use in stopping the trium phant progress of the Arkansas through the gunboat fleet, all of which fired upon her as she steamed past them. “ But the arch foe hesitated not, reeked not, turned not aside. Onward the Arkansas moved, as if she were covered with the armour of invincibility, and beyond the power of harm. . . The fearless foe passed the long line of fire unscathed, running the dangerous gauntlet without receiving any ap parent wound. After she had passed all the union vessels she sent back their shots clEfiintly, and at last disappeared round the head of the peninsula, and ran under the guns of one of the water batte- ries of Vicksburg. Though an enemy, we award her the p r ai se of brilliant daring in an unholy cause. None of Davis's or Farragut's vessels had sufficient steam to follow the Arkansas. They hal no thought, much less fear, of a hostile gun-boat ; and, of course, they were surprised and unprepared for the occasion. One of the Arkansas's 128 shot, after passing through the commodore's vessel, finally rested on his pillow." THE AGITATION AMONG THE CABHEIAT Last evening another meeting of cabmen was held at the White Swan, Highbury, the meeting being convened by the following circular :—" To take into consideration the resolutions passed at meetings held by the East and South London cabdrivers, with re spect to the arbitrary laws under which you now labour." Mr. WOOD occupied the chair. Mr. TAYLOR complained of the manner in which cabmen were treated, in fact they were treated worse than convicted felons. For a very slight offence the license was marked and in many instances great num bers ruined. If one man was bad, that was no reason why the public should put them all down as bad. The great mid-day meeting, he contended, would let the public know that they were not to be trod upon. London without cabs would at once startle the public and bring about the reforms asked for. He then gave a vivid picture of the inconvenience to which the public would be put to on the day of the meeting. The cab strike of 1853 was bad enough, but he could assure them that a strike at the present time would be worse. (Cheers.) The cabmen were a most valuable class of servants, and should be organised. Sixpence from 10,000 cabmen per week would amount to £5OO, and if they had a fund like that coming in weekly it would make magistrates pause before they committed an injustice. He concluded by urging them to organise. Mr. LOVELL said the present Hackney Carriage Act was a disgrace to the age. They were most cruelly and unjustly used, and they wanted their grievances redressed. They would not expect the repeal of the act, but they might get it revised. Mr. Smith, Secretary of the South London Cab men's Club, observed that Mr. Judge Payne had stated that he had tried 1,600 prisoners, and only one was a cabman, charged with an assault upon a policeman when drunk. (Hear, hear.) Several cabmen then described their hardships and the manner in which they were hunted by the police. Mr. GOODWIN, in a forcible address, p ointed out several inconveniences in the act, and mentioned a number of instances in which magistrates took different views of the same cases. It seemed , strange to him that in a recent case a magistrat: should rule that when a cab was moving it was standing. He most heartily concurred in the pro posed cabman's holiday, when all their grievances would be discussed. After addresses from Mr. Williams and others, the following resolution was carried with great cheering :—" That this meeting being of opinion that nothing ought to be done with regard to alter ing the act of Parliament by any one part of London alone, therefore, we do heartily concur with the drivers of the South, East, and Clerken well, and do hereby appoint four delegates to co operate with th em to carry out the ob j ect o f hold jog. a mid -day mee ting Exeter-hall, W h en the in deligates will lay before the meeting the b est remedy." The delegates were then appointed, and thanks having been passed to thE, chairman, a vote o f meeting separated shortly after midnight.

MALIGNAN7 DISEASE AMONG SHEEP, It is impossible by words to describe fully the excitement I which has for the last few days prevailed in Wiltshire and the upper parts of Hampshire, in the agricultural classes, in consequence of the breaking out of a malignant disease in one of the largest breeding flocks in the West of England, —in a flock, too, that has, for the la st 50 yea rs,been regarded as one of the most healthy flocks upon the Beckingham Downs. For a few days there watt some secrecy in the matter; but so completely impregyiated is the whole flack that for the sake of flockmasters LTenerally it is desi rable that a notice of the attack, and the means which are being taken to subdue it, should be gen, wally circulated. The facts in brief are these :—lt is now abc mt a month ago that Mr. Joseph Parry, of Allington, was i iding alongside one of his folds, containing about 303 two-:year-old ewes, when he observed one of the ewes lying by the hurdles. The animal looked in a pitiable condition, soon breathed its last, and was put out of the way, and far the time nothing more was thought of the occurrence. But, in a day or two after, other sheep in the same flock showed symptoms of illness, exhibiting great internal suffering, low of Appetite, heaviness and indisposition to move, and general prostra tion. The two-year-old ewes had, up to this time, been kept with their lambs, but, thinking it better to separate them, the latter were now removed and put with other lambs upon the farm, the former being turned among the general breeding flock,making altogether 1,000 ewes and ' 4 'oo lambs. The nature of the attack upon the two-year-old ewes sur passed all comprehension. That it was eminently conta gious was certain. In the course of a fortnight the same symptoms began to show themselves among the older ewes and among the lambs, and for days in succession as many as 20 or 30 of the ewes died in the most loathsome state of disease, their bodies covered with pustules and a viscous matter running from the nose and from the eyes, rendering the sheep completely blind, and emitting the most foul stench that can be conceived. All local remedies were entirely unavailing. The malady was a mystery, and it became necessary that the best pos sible advice should be had, and that, too, without delay Mr. Joseph Parry went to London last Monday week to consult professor Simonds, the well-known lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College. After hearing Mr. Parry's ex planation of the symptoms, Professor Simonds came imme diately to the conclusion that the disease from which the sheep were suffering was smallpox ; but as smallpox has never been known to make its appearance except through infection--as, wherever it has appeared, its origin and pro pagation have always been traceable—its introduction into Mr. Parry's flock was perfectly unaccountable., Every sug gestion which the Professor could offer was at once met by Mr. Parry. There had been no change on the female side of the flock for at least half a century. New male blood was only introduced once in two years ; and it wao now two years since Mr. Parry had purchased or hired rains from another flock. Neither could it have been imported by the shearers, as all the flocks which the same shearers had shorn this year, before and after Mr. Parry's, were known, and in neither was there the slightest symptom of disease. Ito fact, there was no traceable means of accounting for the visita tion. A " chill" could not possibly produce it, as a com mon cause of illness would not produce a special disease of this description. Its spontaneous appearance, therefore, is a thing unheard of. Moreover, it is a disease unknown among English flocks; the only occasion of its appearance here having been in 1847, when some merino sheep that had just been imported were sold with the smallpox upon them at Smithfield market. This was the first known ap pearance of the disease among sheep in England ; and al though it was then unfortunately communicated to two flocks belonging to Mr. Statham, a farmer at Datchett, near Windsor, and Mr. Neale, of Pinner, and for a time found its way into Norfolk and Hampshire, it was ultimately era dicated, and from that time to the present there has been no known instance of smallpox in sheep in this country. To account for it in the present case, therefore, seemed impossible, inasmuch as Mr. Parry's had always been a notoriously healthy flock—well tended, carefully fed, and with all the advantages of fine down air. Still, from the symptoms, Professo r Si mon d s had no doubt about the fact, and his vi s it t o Alli ngton on F r id a y last fully confirmed hi s previous persuasio n . O n exam i n ing the sheep he found th em suffering in almost every stage of the disease. Some in which the pox had first shown itself exhibited a staggering gait, with slight fever, and swelled eyelids; in others, when it had become more fully developed, red spots (easily dis cernible upon the bare parts en the inner surface of the leg-) were found thickly studded over the body, while in those where the complaint had still further advanced, pus tules (in form like the heads of ordinary smallpox) an d ! malignant ulcers, emitting a thin stinking matter, were the distinguishing features of the malady. A more loathsome sight than the sheep exhibit in this advanced stage can h ar dly be imagined. The contagious nature of the disease is truly astonishing. An instance i s related (when it was introduced into England by the Spaniards in 1847 of its having broken out in a flock penned som • ) same infection,fi el was as while carried ed i n i n g theoff rape, ee iro d m ista on ne e 3 flock off, but to clearly showing the i th n a t t '- another. Great danger has in the same way arisen on the continent (where the disease is driving of a healthy flock on th well known), f r om the down which h a d previously b e sam e roa d or on the same een travelled over by diseased sheep, or by the immediate transit of a sheep dog or a shep herd from one fold to another. But while it is so highly infectious to sheep, it •is by no means as to other animals or to human beings, gs. Cases are recorded in which children of all ages have been inoculated over and over again without any specific disease resulting; and the like experiment upon the cowand , even upon the goat, have been equally un availing. -pon examining the flock on Saturday and Monday and again on Tuesday, Professor Simonds found that a great number of the sheep had already passed through the most trying part of the malady, while some (as many as 170) were declared by him to be perfectly convalescent. This being the case, it is impossible to say how long the disease has actually impregnated the flock; but to reduce its conti nuance to a certainty, and as the most effectual means of preserving those that have not already been attacked, Pro fessor Simonds suggested that the whole of the sheep should at once be inoculated ; and, having placed the case entirely in the hands of the Professor, Mr. Parry assented to this proposition, and the whole flock of 1,700 sheep and lambs (exclusive of those which have died and those which have rocovered) are accordingly at this moment either in an in cipient or a malignant state of smallpox. Adding misfortune to misfortune, the old shepherd who had tended the flock for the last 30 years dropped down dead among his sheep last Thursday evening. Proud of his flock, which had always borne a high character, and re flected credit upon his management, the poor man seemed L ^ 1 the visitation most acutely; and there is no doubt to re... labouring for Qty under which he had been that the anx— disevsed heart, tended to - ' acting upon a the previous month, - - - end.
