A T.RAGEDY IN CINCINNATI. (From the Cincinnati Gazette of Aug. 17.) Last evening occurred one of those terrible tra gedies in real life which, for fearfulness of inten sity, surpass the conceptions of the dramatist, and reveal the terrible earnestness which often exists beneath an exterior the most frivolous and aban- donpd. We publish the facts in the order of their oc- nrrence. A young man, whose name it appears, from papers found on him, is Thomas Eugene De Mar bais, has had a wife named Blanche, living in a house of assignation in Plum-street, above Fifth. From the papers and from his declarations to the coroner, we learn that five times has he attempted to kill both himself and his wife. It would also Appear that he married her aware of her abandoned life. The following note on him shows his desire to see her last evening : " Send me word by the boy. May I come and see you ? I await an answer on the corner. I can not exist without seeing you. Let me come—must see you very soon. Oh, Blanche ! Blanche ! Blanche ! Blanche ; I am very repentant. Come ! come ! I cannot live without seeing you." We cannot say whether he sent a duplicate of it. About 11 o'clock last night he called at the house in Plum-street, and desired to see her. She was up stairs in bed. She came down to see him, and he told her he wanted to walk out with her, and, said he, " I am going to kill you." She said she wasn't afraid, and they went out. The next known of them, the reserve corps of policemen in the Ninth-street' station-house were startled by two pistol reports at the corner of Plum and Eighth streets. They immediately ran to the corner, and there saw De Marbais and Blanche at the door of Brookfield's marble-yard. Blanche was sitting quietly, while he was stretched at full length on the pavement, apparently dead. Mr. Wm. De Beck, of the County Auditor's-office, who accompanied the police, caught a young man by the shoulder, saying, " I've got you, sir." De Marbais spoke up, " There is no one to blame but me. I did it." Policeman M'Grew went to. Blanche and assisted her to rise. She said, " I came out of the house to die." Then she exclaimed in agony, " Oh, my daughter. Oh, my daughter." M'Grew asked her where her daughter was. She said she was with the Marsh troupe, and upon being re moved to the Ninth-street station, she took off a splendid jet cross, tipped with gold, kissed it, and desired it to be sent to her daughter. Upon examining them at the station-house, it was found that she was shot in the left breast, just above the nipple, and that he was shot in the right ear. The policeman took from him two three-inch pocket pistols, of Allen's patent, which he said he • had purchased yesterday morning and loaded for this express purpose. As he was lying in the station-house Dr. Carey informed him of the probability of his recovery. He said—" If I live I want you to hang me for this damnable deed—for shooting the wife I love so well." They were removed to the hospital, where he said that before they came out of the house they had taken 30 grains of morphine, divided it into two portions, dissolved it in water, and drank it. Blanche is a young woman of beauty and has a sweet countenance. It is thought she is French. De Marbais is a young man of short stature, and we learn is or has been in the negro minstrelsy business. The following papers were found in his pocket by• Dr. Carey. We think we have never seen any letter belonging to the literature of suicide and death more touching and remarkable than this which we give first : " Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 16, 1859. "My dear Wife,—Should you survive what is intended as your death blow, I trust you will for give me for not being a better shot. To say I have loved you would only be to corroborate what all who know me know full well. That I now love you better than ever, this fearful, step I give as proof. Death in preference to its being said I caused you to live the life.you are leading. We were happy until it was marred by intermeddling would be friends both in Philadelphia and this city par ticularly. I do not wish it to be understood that this letter is in any manner to exonerate me in the dreadful tragedy I attempt. It is simply to enlighten the few thousands who are ready to condemn unheard and untried the unfortunate ones of this cold world. It is unnecessary here for me to enter into the particulars of how we met and were married, as the certificate among our papers will certify to. I will simply say we knew and understood the importance of what we were about. When I could get work, I worked, and it was my great pleasure to give you all my earnings,little as they were. True, in the early days of our marriage you were true to me, and like an angel you never deserted me through greater misfortunes than want. Now the public of this cold-hearted city refuses me employment, and we are comparatively destitute. " You prefer [here follow the words, 'No mat ter,' with a mark of erasure through them..—REP.] My-dear, dear Blanche, God forgive me. But death is now more preferable for me than life. Had 1 means we could and would have lived happily to gether. Ido love you, nay, adore and worship you even now, one, two, three, four, or five hours pre vious to attempting this la 4 (I hope) fearful act of my life. My God, would that I was able to take you from where you are. I would do it even now. There is one man holding a prominent (poor speci men of man) position who has promised to be my friend. [A long flourish follovvs.- 7 -Iter.] " The principal cause of my misfortunes in this city is now a clerk in the [here follow the words with a mark of erasure through them, ' principal store (drug) on Fourth-street. His brains ought I have blown out first. First drug store on'] finest drug store on Fourth-street. " I leave him and the balance of my enemies to the remorse of conscience, which every true man feels when conscious of a mean action. Mean actions —their acts towards me are, and have been, das tardly, mean, and contemptible. 'Tis not because an individual has erred in early days that he should be made to suffer ever after. So goes the people of Cincinnati. If a man does wrong once, not like the good Samaritan, help him up again. No ; they trample him down, down, and never give him a chance to get a mouthful. " If I succeed, our baggage will amply defray all funeral expenses. " My wife's child is in good hands—unnecessary td mention where she is. Good bye, dear mother. Forgive me, sisters dear. Sisters Clara and Ellen, forgive me taking Blanche away in this manner, but I am so jealous of her that I prefer her dead. [Another long flourish.—REP.] " Tuos..E. DE MARBAIS. " All my family papers, dating back to the year 1794, my mother's .marriage certificate, and other papers, will show for themselves. Adieu to all." 11. " Cincinnati, Tuesday, Aug. 16, 1839. "My dear wife Blanche,-1 hereby certify that from this day I solemnly promise never to come, go, or seek you, wherever you may be. unless at your earnest solicitation.—You: husband until death, and after if possible. " THOMAS E. DE MARBAIS." The following is the endorsement on the back of this note : • "6 52, Third-street. This is written at the soli citation of my own dear wife I love better than lite. DE MARBAIS." s"cen minutes later. " She tells me if I love her as I should I would blow her brains out. So I will this very night. " DE MAUBAIS." 111. " Cincinnati ! Ohio, Aug. 4, 1859 _._ . _.. "Dear and affectionate Sisters Clara, and Ella,— F.re this reaches you we will have ceased to exist. Dear . . -wif e as we ll as myself have become tired — completely disgusted with . this world. We there fore adopt these means of ridding- ourselves of our enemies and our friends of a burthen. " To Mr. Edward Scanlan my wife and self offer our last thanks for his many acts of kindness, which from time to time kept me in the vain hope of one day being able to surmount our difficulty, instead of whieh.l find my troubl es d a il y increasing, and no prospects of eyer gettin g up aga i n. • W e coo ll y, deliberately, and without any li quor a b oar d, we resgive to take that fearful step—suicide. Be it ' "nctly understood, not because we cannot live, 30, through fear of any mortal enemy —simply be 'kuse we prefer death .to a dishonourable life. All honest means have been deprived me of gaining a living by the infernal ma liciousness and jealousy of --, clerk to Suire, Eckstein, and Co., corner of Fourth and Vine-streets. Our sincere thanks are also due to Mr; -----•--, of Selves' -building, and Mr. —. Iloill of these gentlemen ha ve p roved .them selves men in every sense of the: word. I leave be hind me a few friends, but many enemies—enemies without just cause, whom I have never injured by word, deed, or act, unless it was by being forced to become a debtor. My few creditors are the only ones who will speak ill of me. Another gentleman 1 must mention here in the kindest manner possible —Mr. —, formerly bookkeeper for George Lewis. He came to my assistance . on several occasions, un walled and unsolicited. He is' now fast among his friends and relatives. I would advise him to remain %ere. I seek death because it is prefeyable to being subject to the scorn and contempt that fallen great ness generally- is. Ido not wish to appear vain when I apply the word great to myself. I wish it simply to be understood in regard to the commercial world, in which I once stood A No. 1. Again, .death at this moment will be sweet, because I will be joined, on the road to that bourne from whence no traveller returns, by my most affectionate and good wife, Blanche. Oh, Blanche, may God for give us, as we forgive those who have offended us. "THOS. EUGENE DE INIARBATS and BLANCHE his wife." IV. " Saturday, Aug. 13, 1859. " , My Blanche,—My own dear wife, good bye, adieu—God bless you and protect Adele. I love you both better than life. Employment has been refused me, even for the pitiful sum sufficient to sustain life from day to day. " I have no friends. I feel I have lived too long. May God curse the English hound, -- now with Eckstein. Think of me in your happy mo ments —farewell, God bless you, you are better off without me. " Oh, Blanche! I love you, and you alone. I have been true—true to you, and you alone. I die hungry, but loving you truly and sincerely. Bye, bye, mamma dear. Think of me occasionally. I left you happy and contented." At half-past two o'clock this morning the physi cians thought it possible that Blanche might re cover, but had no hopes that De Marbais would. (From the Cincinnati Gazette of Aug. 18.) THE MYSTERY CLEARING 13P—CRITICAL CONDITION OF DE MARBAIS AND HIS WIFE. We have very little to add to yesterday's ac count of the facts immediately connected with the tragedy of Tuesday night. We learn that officer Mainster on Monday night saw De Marbais sitting on the steps of the assigna tion-house on Plum-street, crying. He was asked what was the matter. He replied that his wife was in there, and was in the habit of going there. As he appeared to be in liquor, he was advised to go home, and he went off, saying that if matters didn't change before the week was over there'd be a murder. To gratify the numerous inquiries as to the his tory of De Marbais, we present the following ac count, which -we believe to be perfectly reliable. De Marbais' father was a Frenchman, his mother an English or American woman. His parents were married in this country, and he was born at Balti more. His father is dead, but his mother is now living in New York, and was yesterday informed by telegraph of the critical condition of her son and of the tragic acts of which it was the result. He was a druggist by profession, and understood his bus ness well. About 18 months since he married his wife Blanche, in New York. She was at the time reputed to have been the mistress of a wealthy man in California, who had supported her in luxury and ease for two or three years. De Marbais was aware of her reputation, we learn, when he married her. Sometime after his marriage he went to Phila delphia, where he was placed on trial for forgery, but was honourably acquitted. Disgusted with Philadelphia, he returned to New York with the intention of removing to the West. In New York he met a person who pro mised to find him a situation if he would settle in Cincinnati. He accordingly came to Cincinnati about a year ago, and was employed in Scanlan's Drug store. Five or six months ago the person who had found the situation forDe Marbais, being East, learned that De Marbais had been tried there for forgery, and upon his return he informed De Mar bais' employers that he should no longer consider himself responsible for De Marbais' conduct. This remark eventuated in De Marbais' losing his situation, and from that time dated his misfor tune. Unable to get employment or the means of subsistence, he would have starved had not his wife by her shame earned their bread. It is said that De Marbais had a regular fisticuff fight with the " drug clerk" in the street, and charged his misfor tunes upon fiim. And it is also said that this clerk followed De Marbais with an unrelenting vindic tiveness that kept him effectually out of work. Whether Blanche's beauty had anything to do with this we can't say. Read in the light which this account throws upon them, De Marbais' letters are of a comparatively easy interpretation. The following sentence evi dently refers to his trial for forgery—" So goes the people of Cincinnati. If a man does wrong once, not like the good Samaritan, help him up again. No, they trample him down, down, and never give him a chance to get a mouthful." A good deal of romantic talk was set in motion, about this affair yesterday. It was said that he had been exiled from France, &c. But our account comes from a source which en titles it to full credit. De Marbais and his wife lay at the hospital all day yesterday without much change in their condi tion. They were kept asleep with morphine. To wards evening they grew worse, and at 11 o'clock there was but little hope of their recovery. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 5. ' * The September General Sessions commenced this morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge; Mr. Creasy and Mr. Payne, Deputies and the following magistrates were present Gould, Mr. White, Mr. Dun nington Fletcher, Mr. Bashford, Mr. Beetham, Mr. A. Harwood, Mr. A. Ballantine, and Mr. Bird. The calendar contains the names of 111 prisoners, of whom 99 aro charged with felony, and 112 with misdemeanour. The learned Assistant-Judge, in his charge to the grand jury, called their attention to the state of the calendar, and observed that it was with much sa tisfaction he could inform them, that though the number of prisoners were unusually large this ses sion, it was not attributable to any increase of crime, but to the fact of a longer period than usual having elapsed since the last session. He would avail himself of that opportunily to say, and it afforded him a great deal of pleasure to be able to mention the fact to the grand jury of Middlesex, that he had perused the depositions in all the cases which would come under their consideration, and not one had reference in any way to the differences at present existing, unfortunately, between the employers and the employed in one of the most im portant branches of labour in this metropolis. It might have been expected, not unreasonably, that in so large a calendar at this critical juncture, when so many* thousands of workmen and labourers were thrown out of employment, there might have been charges traceable to the strike, but there was not one, which was a circumstance redounding to the credit of all ; and he trusted that he should be able to repeat the same observation so long as the unfor tunate dispute remained unsettled. The grand jury then retired to their room. Henry Thompson pleaded guilty to a charge of picking the pocket of a female in an omnibus. The Assistant-Judge said, having perused the depositions, it was quite clear to his mind, although the prisoner was not recognised by the officers, that he was a person who had practised this sort of robbery not for the first time in this instance. It appeared that lie got into an omnibus and sat by the side of the prosecutrix, whose pocket he dexter ously cut with instruments, and stole her purse; fortunately he was detected. As the officers did not know him, the probability was that he had but re cently come to London, in fact, his appearance indi cated that, and, in order to allow of inquiries being made about him, the sentence would be deferred till the next session, when, if anything . was ascer tained of his being previously engaged in this sort of thibg, a, sentence of penal servitude would cer tainly be passed upon hiM. The public entrusted themselves in these conveyances, and must be pro tected from being plundered by pickpockets. In all such cases a severe example would be made ; none but well experienced thieves attempted to pick pockets in omnibuses. Sentence deferred. Wm. Harris, 22, was indicted for stealing a prin ter's composing stick, value 6s. 6d., the property of Joseph Carter Wood and others, the treasurer and trustees of the Reformatory Institution in Smith street, Westminster, of which he was an inmate. He was found Guilty; and The Assistant-Judge, after severely ailmonisbing him for robbing so valuable an institution, the-ad vantages of which he was receiving, sentenced him to three months' hard labour. Wm, Box, 63, wood-turner, was indicted for stealing 36 pieces of willow timber, the property of Thos. Gardner. Mr. Metcalf. was for the prosecution. The prisoner defended himself, and exhibited a good deal of in genuity and cunning. It appeared that some timber was consigned to the prisoner from Swaffham, and while it lay at the Eastern Counties Railway he sold it to the prose cutor for £l5 17s. 6d. He induced him to allow it to remain in his name, and then went and sold it in portions to other persons. The prisoner endeavoured to make out that if responsible at all, it was civilly. not criminally, as when he sold the wood it was still in his name as the consignee, although he had Previously sold it. or agreed to sell it to Gardner. The lea rne d Assistant Judge told the jury that if they were o f op i n i on t h at t h ere was an absolute sale to Gardnero odb hisy, the subsequent dealing with the w owntlie prisoner, putting and his the proceeds into pocket, amounted to larceny. If the prisoner were the bailee of the timber, his disposing of it would make him liable to this charge under the recent act. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the As sistant -Judge sentenced him to six months' hard labour. (Before Mr. Creasy.) Henry Holy . land, and Th omas E mmerson l a bourers, were indicted for steali ng 70 lb s.of sugar , the property of the - East and West India Dock Company. The prisoners were in the employment of Mr. Fairclough, a carman, and were engaged in carting sugar from the dock to Messrs. Goodhart's, Hooper square. The charge against them was that they brake the bulk of one of the bags, and abstracted about 701bs. of sugar. The case was rather compli cated, and Mr. Metcalfe, the counsel for the Dock Company, opened it as one in which there was an absence of absolute and positive proof of guilt. The jury acquitted boih prisoners. Mr. IVletcalte was for the prosecution ; Mr. J. P. Doyle defended Holyland ; Mr. Langford defended the other prisoneL Henry Ellis, 19, and Thomas Jones,. 18, were convicted of stealing a handkerchief from the per son of a female unknown, and assaulting and beat ing two police officers. Jones had been repeatedly convicted. The Assistant-Judge sent Jones to three years' hard labour, and Ellis to :31X months' hard labour. A great number of cases of larceny, chiefly from the person, were disposed of. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 5. MANSION-HOUSE.— ALLEGED MISAPPRO. PRIATION OF A BILL OF LADING.—Mr. Nicol, o : George-yard, Lombard-street, was re-examined be fore the Lord Mayor and Sir R. W. Carden, upon the charge of having converted to his own use a bill of lading for 148 chaldrons of coal, which had been entrused to him as a bailee, by Messrs. Fowles and Co. of Water-lane, Tower-street. Mr. ,Humphreys appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh for the defence. At the request of Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Henry Hunter, a partner in the house of the prosecutors, was called into the witness-box, and to I further questions in cross-examination gave the fol lowing additional evidence :—Mr. M'Gregor is a clerk and traveller of ours ; not a partner. Before I handed him the bill of lading to the defendant, it was Mr. M'Gregor that had the dealings with the defendant. I had seen the defendant once before about this transaction. I had heard that the cargo by the Eagle was sold, and was intended foz Cher bourg. Mr. M‘Grego.i went to the colliery district with reference to their business, not with reference to the cargo by the Speculation. He had no posi tive instructions in reference to the Speculation cargo. I did not agree that the bill of lad ing for the Eagle cargo should be made out in the name of John Nicol and Co. I did not telegraph to Mr. M'Gregor. I gave Mr. Nicol his address. I am not aware that the coals by the Speculation were inferior coals. I be lieve there is a difference in the price of heap coals, from ls. to 2s. less than nut coals. I have been in the coal trade about two months. I have only one partner, Mr. Francis John Fowles. Mr. Nl‘Gregor was then called into the witness box and sworn, but was not questioned by either side. Mr. Sleigh said that his client, of whose respecta bility after what had been admitted so readily by the Lord Mayor upon the first examination, it was quite unnecessary to say a word, was prepared to place in the hands of his lordship or Sir. R. W. Carden the amount of the value of the coals, and to abide by the decision of the Bench as to the claim of either party. That offer had been made at the commencement of the inquiry, and no hesitation would take place if the Bench would consent to the suggestion. Mr. Humphreys said if the defendant chose to hand over the money to the prosecutors, they would have no objection, with the consent of the Bench, to withdraw the prosecution. They had come for. ward from no motives of a vindictive nature, and wholly relied upon the justice of their case. The Lord Mayor said the Bench could not pay attention to the proposition for any arrangement of the kind. • Mr. Sleigh then contended that there existed no pretence for the charge against Mr. Nicol, who having been done once, was determined not to be done again, and adopted such measures as he con sidered necessary for his own protection. It was true the defendant had taken the law into his own hands, but that he was the aggrieved party there could not be the shadow of a doubt, any more than that he had not committed any act approaching to fraud or false pretence. Such a case would not, for a moment, stand before a jury. , The Lord Mayor said he had a plain and painful duty to perform, and considered that the case clearly came under the act upon which the prosecu tion had been undertaken. The matter must therefore be taken before a higher authority. Mr. Nicol then addressed the Bench in the fol lowing terms :—I have simply to say that the statement of Mr. Hunter is utterly untrue as re gards the conversation in Finch-lane. The bills of lading were given to me on the express under standing that they wei e to be handed to Mr. Wig dhal, to enable him to send them to Cherbourg that evening. Mr. Wigdhal had telegraphed to Mr. M'Gregor to obtain the bills of lading, and was ready to pay any extra expense there might be to get them that afternoon. It was never un derstood that they were to be returned to him (Mr. Hunter) in any case, and he well knew they were sent off that afternoon. He gave them to me to see if all was in order, .and if all was in order only was he to come up at three o'clock for a settlement. I have only to add, that I acted under the advice of my solicitor in retaining those bills of lading, and I only protected myself against what I considered a common swindle, and I most indignantly deny any intention of fraud. The defendant was then committed for trial, but his own recognisance for £l,OOO to appear at the ensuing sessions, was accepted. • MARYLEBONE.—ASSAULT AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John White, a very old o ff ender, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having assaulted Wm. Byne, a plasterer, living at 9, Desborough-street, Harrow-road, and stolen from him a silver watch, value £5. It appeared from prosecutor's evidence that on Saturday night last, while walking along Edge ware-road, the prisoner, who was accompanied by . another man, seized him tightly round the waist, and asked him to " stand" some. drink. He refused to do so, upon which the prisoner and the other made off. Prosecutor, who had been robbed of his watch, followed, and in the Marv lebone-road, seized hold of the prisoner, wlio gave him a desperate blow on the head and effected his escape. He pursued his assailant for a long distance, crying " Stop thief" as loudly as he could ; and he was at length captured by police constable Berne, 178 D, by whom he was conveyed to the station-house. He was there searched, but the watch was not found upon him. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was re manded, in order to afford time for the officer to trace the property, till Saturday next. ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—Charles Dean, a labourer, and Mary I)ee, a prostitute, were charged with being drunk and disorderly and violently assaulting two constables, 343 D, and 371 A, while in the execution of their duty. For each of the assaults Dean was fined 15s. or 10 days, and Dee was fined 10s. or seven days in the House of Correction. SOUTHWARK.—BURGLARY AT A JEWELLER'S, AND ATTEMPT TO STRANGLE A POLICEMAN. — Humphrey Delorey, alias Daddy Windy, a despe rate character, well-known to the police, was brought before Mr. Seeker, for final examina tion, charged with breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. John Gaisworth, jeweller, Etham place, Kent-street, and stealing therefrom four watches, a card of rings, two silver spoons, and other articles ; and William Mains and Elizabeth Mains, were charged with rescuing him from the custody of a constable, who was nearly strangled by the man. The prosecutor said, that at ten o'clock on the night of the 18th ultimo, he fastened up his shop, leading everything safe in the window. Shortly afterwards he retired to rest, but about two o'clock he was disturbed ty hearing a smashing noise in the shop. He immediately got up, and proceeded there, when he perceived two shutters down. He raised an alarm, and then procured a light, when he missed the articles above-mentioned from the shop window. Two of the shutters had been forced down, and a large thick square of glass broken. He had since seen one of the watches at a pawn broker's. Sergeant Wise, 12 M, said he was on duty in Hunter-street, shortly after two o'clock in the morning in question, when he heard a smashing of glass close by. He ran into Kent-street, and saw the prosecutor at his door, when he informed him of the robbery. Having heard footsteps pass to wards the Bermondsey New-road, he turned down Russell-place, having previously sent constables in other directions. Witness said that he saw two lads in a van, and as soon as lie approached, one of them called out, "It's not me that did it, ? but Daddy Windy," meaning the prisoner, and' Goosey Harris." That lad was now in court as a witness, in answer to a summons to compel him, but he (the serge ant) was positive he had been tampered with since the prisoner had been in custody. He was apprehended on the day of the robbery, but rescued from the officer with great violence. He was after wards retaken, after same resistance, by Clark and Hunt, of the M division. William Webber, a shoeblack, who had been summoned to give evidence, on being sworn, said he was found in the van by the sergeant, but he never told him that the prisoner and " Goosey Harris" did the robbery. He saw two men rush out of the place, and as soon as they saw him they ran back again. Neither of them was the prisoner. Mr. Seeker asked if he did not tell. Sergeant Wise that the prisoner " Daddy Windy" and " Goosey Harris" did it. He replied that he did not. The officer men ioned their names. Mr. Seeker asked if there was any further evi dence against the prisoner. Sergeant Wise replied in the negative. Mr. Seeker—Then he must be discharged, but if any positive evidence could be obtained against him, he would again be apprehended. William Mains, a rough-looking , fellow, and Elizabeth Mains, his wife, were then charged with rescuing him from custody. George Hall, police constable 164 P, said he beard of the robbery, and on the same afternoon he saw the prisoner just discharged in Lock's-fields, and the two prisoners at the bar were near him. He told Delorey what he was charged with, and took him into custody, and' after walking a little dis tance, he called out to Mains, who ran up and seized witness with both hands round the throat from behind, and nearly throttled him. He was rendered incapable of holding Delorey any longer, therefore he made his escape. He then had a violent struggle with the male prisoner, who was supplied with a knife by the female, and they both attacked him. The man would have injured him with the knife, only witness was too powerful for them, as after about twenty minutes' struggling, he succeeded in apprehending them. • Mr. Seeker sentenced the man to three months' hard labour, and the female to one month. LAMBETH.—IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Jeremiah Cavanagh, a cab-owner, and who was said to be a member of a highly respectable Irish family, was placed within the felon's dock, before Mr. Elliott, and charged with the following daring robbery : Sergeant Bell, 39 P, deposed that on Thursday last he received information that on Thursday even ing before a cabman had been engaged to take a gentleman from Grove-road, Camberwell, to the London-bri3ge station, that while passing along near the Elephant and Castle the driver drove his -vehicle against an omnibus, thereby causing a con siderable collision, and on the gentleman jumping out in a fright drove off without him, and with a portmanteau, containing wearing apparel and other property to the amount of nearly £5O. The pri soner, who was the driver, being without a badge he found much difficulty in tracing him, and it was not until last Saturday he could get any tidings of him. On that day 'ho found him in custody at Marlborough-street on a charge of drunkenness, and there arrested him. The prisoner at first denied having taken any fare from Camberwell, but subse quently said he knesy where the missing property could be found, and on searching his house in Kings ford-street, Islington, he found the missing port. manteau, with the lock and 'fastenings torn away, but the whole of the contents, so far as could be at present ascertained, safe. Elizabeth Wright, servant to Mr. Landean, in Camberwell-grove, said that on Tuesday week she called the prisoner off the Camberwell stand, to take Mr. Landean, who was going to Germany, to the London-bridge station. The portmanteau produced was placed on the cab, and some time after her mas ter returned, saying that the prisoner had driven off, from near the Elephant and Castle, with the property ; the consequence was that he was obliged to start for Germany at great inconvenience, with only a few things. A cousin of the prosecutor said he had been to Scotland-yard, and most of the police-stations in the metro Polis, to inquire for the property, but could hear nothing of it. Mr. Lewis, jun., who attended for the prisoner, affected to treat the matter with perfect indiffer ence. He said his client had acted stupidly, from the effects of liquor, and of course made himself amenable to a penalty under the Hackney Coach Act, for notdelivering the property up to the police. Mr. Elliott took a different view of the affair ; and it having been statedthat another portmanteau, with the lock broken off, was found in his house, The prisoner was remanded for a week. • THAMES.—ATTEMPTED SIIICICE BY AMARRIED WOMAN —Anne Marshall,' a married woman, living with her husband at 2, Alfred-street, Cam bridge Heath-road, was charged before Mr. Selfe with attempting to commit suicide by hanging herself with a cord. _ Henry Chefoner, engaged at the Effingham Saloon,'Whitechapel, said that about twelve o'clock that day he was passing the house in which the prisoner resided, when he saw a large crowd in the front of it, and he was told that she was hanging some of her children in the kitchen. He looked between the railings of the area and there saw her with a rope round her neck, which she was attempting to attach to a nail. He went into the house and succeeded in preventing her carrying her intention into effect. (The witness produced the rope.) Richard Marshall, the prisoner's husband, stated that he was an engineer, and that when he left home in the morning he stated that he would be home at the usual time. He was sent for that day, it being stated to him that his wife had attempted to e mmit suicide. Mr. Selfe—How can you account for her attempt to destroy her own life? Husband—She is full of jealousy. I cannot go out but she is always following me, whether I go to work or to have a pint of beer. Prisoner (to her husband)—Let me be at liberty. I will not do so again. Husband --Only a short time ago she swallowed some poison, when I took her to the London Hos pital, where she recovered. prisoner—Forgive me this time, and I will not do so again. Mr. Selfe (to the husband) —Are you willing to take her back ? Husband—l will, sir, and hope she will not offend again. The prisoner was then discharged. WOOLWICH.—DARING ESCAPE AND ROBBERY BY ARTILLERYMEN.—Five artillerymen, named James Waters, Wm. Hawthorne, 'Wm. Atkins, James Johnson, and Wm. Williams, were placed at the bar on remanded charges of stealing a large amount of valuable property from the store-room at the garrison, the property of various officers of the Royal Artillery. The four last-named prisoners made their escape from the cells at. the Royal Artillery Barracks on the night of the 27th ult., and on being captured were delivered over by the military to the civil authorities to be dealt with for the felony. The following evidence was taken at thiseand the pre vious examination. - Police-constable Looker, 295 R, deposed, early on the morning of Sunday, the 28th ult., with the as sistance of another constable, he apprehended the prisoner Williams in the Lower-road, Deptford, and found in his possession four silver spoons, four sil ver forks, a silk scarf, and a purse containing trin kets. After he was in custody the prisoner said, " It's a good job there are two of you, for I would have settled one," and on being searched a life preserver was found in his possession. Police-constable Watts, 70 It, proVed apprehend ing Johnson at Blackheath, on Sunday, the 28th u' t., about noon ; and it was also proved that the prisoner then gave up an officer's gold lace belt. Police constable 235 R, deposed he saw Atkins and another man near Lewisham village, and with the assistance of a civilian he captured Atkins, whose companion escaped by swimming across the Ravensbourne. Atkins had in his possession an officer's belt, two silver spoons, a gold ring, and a satin scarf. Police-constable APPherson, 50 R, proved appre hending. Hawthorne about 4 o'clock on the morning of the 29th ult. He was in company with Waters, and had in his possession three bottles of spirits. On his way to the station-house the prisoner told witness that hu was one of the men who had broken out of barracks, and that he was a ticket-of-leave man. Mr. Turner, landlord of the Director-General Tavern, Wellington-street, Woolwich, identified the bottles of whisky as his property. He was aroused by the police, and informed that his cellar flap had been broken open, and he then found that his Cellar had been entered, the fastening of the flap being somewhat defective. The evidence against Waters proved that he had on his feet a lair of boots which had been stolen from the Railway Tavern, King-street, Woolwich, and which were now identified by the landlord, Mr. Robert Bayee, who stated that his house was en tered by means of raising thA cellar flap; and the thieves had endeavoured to enter the bar but were unable to remove the bolts, although - a lock had been taken off. Corporal Thomas Morley, Royal Artillery, de posed, on the night of Saturday, the 27th ult., he had charge oral' the prisOners, except Waters, and at. 11 o'clock he saw them safe in a cell, with three other, but at four o'clock the next morning he found they lisd made their escape. Near the cell door he found the blade of a table-knife, which had been forwed into a saw, and with this instrument a portion of the door post had evidently been cut away, and the bolt thus released. Evidence was then produced proving that the stolen property belonged to Colonel Graydon, now in India, and other officers. The prisoners were now committed for trial. , WESTMINSTER.--VERY SINGULAR CASE. — Mr. George Snowden, of 10, Vauxhall-bridge-road, was summoned for a cab fare. . _ William Solomon, the complainant, said that at a little after eleven on Saturday night week he was called off the rank at King's-cross, by a woman, to take up at 10, Toubridge-street, in that neighbour hood, where defendant and the woman got into his cab, and he was ordered to the Casino, in Holborn, where the woman got out. Defendant then ordered him to Hackney, and he was proceeding in that direction when defendant stopped him at Holborn hill, and said, having changed his mind he would be driven home to Vauxhall-bridge-road, via Millbank. Complainant drove him there, and upon his refusing to pay, conveyed him at his own request to the sta tion, where defendant would not pay more than ls. 6d,, and a summons was consequently taken by com plainant for the remainder of the fare, amounting to 4s. for eight miles of ground, and 6d. for waiting while defendant was away from the cab 10 minutes at Holborn-hill, which, with a delay of some minutes at Tonbridge•street, made more than a quarter of an hour completed. i Defend: nt said that this was a mo s t ex t r ao r dinary and inexp 'cable affair. He found himself unex pectedly charged by complainant with being at King's-cross, riding about with a woman, going to the Casino, and doing all manner of things, which he had never thought of. — Mr. Dayman inquired whether he was to under stand that the cabman did not take him up at King's-cross, as described. Defendant replied—Certainly not ; he had not been to King's-cross these three months. Complainant said the gentleman had been drink. ing very freely, and must have forgotten what oc• curved. Defendant most positively denied the assertion. He said he started from the Post• Office, at St. Martin's-le-Grand, on the evening of Satur day week, and meeting with a friend, proceeded to the Castle Tavern, in Castle-street, Hol born, where he called a cab, and was driven to his home. After he had been in the cab some mi nutes, he found complainant driving him a great distance out of the way, and called to him, and in formed him so, but he was perfectly.unheeded, and driven through Leicester-square, Piccadilly, and St. James!s-street, as the cabman's mode of getting to Vauxhall-bridge, and ultimately 6s. was de manded for the ride. John , Hodgson, a map-seller, living at 20, Cursi tor-street, Chancery-lane, said he was with Mr. Snowden on Saturday week. Met him at the Post office, and proceeded as described, to Castle-street. Mr. Snowden then came out of the street into Hol born, called a cab, and as it seemed was driven home by the complainant. The cabman repeated, that instead of being en gaged in Holborn he brought the defendant , there, as he had described. He had since been to the ad dress where he was called to take up, and had seen the woman who rode with the defendant. She was at first rather shy, but when she found the gentle man's address was known she admitted she had called the cab. The inspector at the station-house could prove the gentleman had been drinking. Mr. Daytnan thought it an extraordinary affair, and said he could only surmise, after the evidence of Hodgson, that the person hiring the cab at King's cross had got out in Holborn, and that during his absence the defendant got in, the driver mistaking him for his original fare, drawing up to the spot from which he was hailed, and opening the door. Complainant said he did not put on the rank and inquired of .defendant's witness whether the call came from the rank. The witness did not observe, as he shook hands with Mr. Snowden and left him the moment after he called the ca', and before he got into it. Mr. Dayman asked witness how long previously to that he had been with Mr. Snowden. Witness said an hour and a half. The case was then adjourned to a future day, for the attendance of the woman spoken of and the police inspector. WANDSWORTH. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST LICENSED VICTUALLERS.--THE TRAVELLER QIJES- TioN AGAIN.—Mr. William Prebble, the landlord of the Rose and Crown, Mr. Ellice Watson, of the Red Lion, and Mr. James Yeoman Clipson, of the Railway Tavern, all in the High-street, Putney, were summoned before Mr. Dayman, for having their houses open for the sale of wines, spirits, &c., between the hours of three and five o'clock on Sun day afternoon, the 28th ult., the same not being for tra idlers or lodgers therein. The eases were taken separately, but his worship postponed his decision in each until he had heard the whole. • Mr. Prebble's case was taken first, and Sergeant Blanchard, of the V division, deposed that he visited the house about 20 minutes to four o'clock, and 'found four persons in front of the oar, two of whom were drinking ale. He drew the landlord's atten tion to them, and he answered they were travellers. Knowing that two of them lived in the neighbour hood, the sergeant said, "Not those?" And the de fendant said they had been out for a walk, and being in want of a glass of ale he served them. The officer also stated that the doors were open as at the regular times. The defendan t said he was not aware he was break ing the law when he served them. They told him they were on the road to London, and he did not think there was any harm in giving them a glass of In the case of Mr. Watson, Sergeant Blanchard „ visited the house, which was opposite the other, about a quarter to four o'clock. The doors were closed, and in the parlour he found three men sit ting and smoking, and upon the table before them glasses contnining spirits and water. In an up stairs room he found four others smoking, and they ,had spirits and water before them. The defendant told him that they had all dined at his house, and were having a glass of grog and a pipe afterwards. The officer did not know any of them. The defendant, in answer to the complaint, said the gentlemen in the parlour were those who dined at his own table most Sundays, and those upstairs were his lolgers and their friends. They had all dined at his table about half-past two o'clock, and when they finished they went to the rooms in which they were found to enjoy a glass of grog and a pipe. In the third case Sergeant Blanchard said he visited the house about half-past four o'clock. He found the door open, and in front of the bar there were upwards of a dozen persons, who were being served by the defendant as fast as he was able. In the parlour he found three others. The defendant said he believed every person in his house was a traveller. Constable Cole was called, and said he saw a man come out of the front door, as he entered with the sergeant, carrying a glass of spirits and water, and he was an inhabitant of Putney. The defendant, in reply, said his house was oppo site to the station, and upon fine days hundreds of persons came by the train, and he was often called upon to serve them. On this occasion the train had just come in, and he believed that all the persons he served were travellers. He also complained of the officer not telling him at the time that he intended to summon him ; for, if he had done so, he could have obtained the names and addresses of all who were found in his house. He then called Thomas Mortimer, a young man, to prove that he was in the parlour at the time, and had come from town with two others, one from Paddington, and the other from Woolwich. Mr. Dayman said the Legislature had not satis factorily detned what was a traveller and what was not. It was quite idle to suppose that persons coin ing do xn by the railway a journey of only about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour required re freshment, and were to be considered travellers. The object of the act was to make exceptional cases on behalf of those who were really bona fide tra vellers, who were in want of refreshment for them selves and horses. If they were allowed to open their houses for all persons who might say they were travellers, then there would be an end to the act. However, he should not stretch the act, and therefore he should dismiss the summons against Mr. Clipson. He would give him the benefit of the doubt, as he was not satisfied. He did not know he was doing right in dismissing the summons, as he really did think the act did not apply to those persons coming down short dis tances. With regard to the second case he had no doubt, and he should dismiss it at once. He thought the case was made out against Mr. Prebble, and he therefore fined him 20s. and 2s. costs. The money was immediately paid. A GENTLEMAN RibBIIED OF £1,200 IN A BANK: A robbery to the above serious amount took place in ono of the Manchester banks on Friday. A little before two o'clock in the afternoon, a gentleman representing a firm in Roch d ale. to receive some mtMey, and met the gentleman who was to pay it at the bank of Sir Benjamin Heywood. St. Ann's-street. He received twelve £lOO Bank of England notes, which he put into his pocket book, then incautiously placed the latter in the outside pocket of his coat. Both came out of the bank together, and when only a short distance from the bank, the gentleman discovered that his pocket.. book had been sto en. He returned to the bank, and stated what had occurred, and information of the robbery was communicated at the dTtective office. The numbers of the notes are known, and officers were promptly despatched in various directions, and other means adopted with the view of obtaining some trace of the expert thief. ] AlrvEratAlotENT ]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Diseases- of Winnen.—Many and various have been the orescription4 for removing ceatain irregularities which frequently rob youth of its happiness, and middle age of its hearth.

On Saturday night J ames Smales, a collier, from Whitwood, near Nor mtantown, went to the shop of Mr. Barrass, the p awnbroker in Dyer-street (the shop where the 'atch of the murdered man Broughton was pledged) a; ad tendered a ticket for the watch. Mr. Barrass at: once took him to Mr. English, the chief constable. Y esterday morning Mr. English went over to Whitwood, and saw John Fawcett and Andrew Battye, both colliers. They stated that on t he Monday after the murder they met a young can at Castleford, named Charley Norming ton, in the street, and adjourned to a beer-house. Normingtorr said he came from the York-road, in Leeds. The new friends had some beer together, and subsequently Fawcett employed Normington as his hurrier in the pit at Whitwood. Norming ton worked pact of the day on Monday, and was in the pit also during part of Tuesday. On the Monday night he offered to sell a ticket for a Ger man silver watch to James Worsman, and he sub sequently managed to sell it on the Wednesday night for ss. to Smales. Normington said that the watch had been in pawn previously for 265., and he told another witness, Betsy Fawcett, that he had previously offered it to Mr. Topham, pawn broker, Leeds, as that gentleman stated in his evidence before the Leeds magistrates. Mrs. Dixon, the woman with whom Normington lodged at Whitwood, observed him on one occasion in the act of washing a handkerchief, but when . she ap proached him he appeared confused, and thrust it, wet as it was, into his breast. The water in which he had been washing was very much discoloured. His shirt also bore several marks, as if it had been stained with blood and had been hastily and in efficiently washed in cold water. On the Thursday morning Normington disappeared, leaving behind him the shirt in question, and this is now in the possession of the chief constable of Leeds. Nor mington stated that he had previously worked at Messrs. Lassey and Wilcock's, of the Rock Col liery, York-road, and this is only about a mile dis tant from the scene of the murder. Normington is a native of Bradford, but has been residing for some years with his father in Leeds. He is thus described by the several witnesses from the colliery village, and it will be observed that the description exactly tallies with that furnished by all the wit nesses who have been previously examined in the case :—He is twenty-two years old, about five feet in height, strongly built, round shouldered, stoops forward in walking, is bow-legged, and turns in his toes ; has a round full face, a small mole on one cheek, with a few hairs on it; has light brown hair, which curls a little on each side ; has a good set of teeth, and talks quickly and distinctly. He was dressed in a faded black cloth coat, short cut, with a black cloth patch on each elbow, sewn on by grey thread ; a dirty pair of black and white check trousers, with stripes down the sides, tight from the knees upwards, but slack at the bottom of the slops, and has several patches on the seat of the trousers. He wore a brown cloth cap, with peak ; and a pair of don were on his feet, adorned with two rows of eyelets. There are stripes on his back where he has been flogged. He told Fawcett that he left Leeds on the evening of the murder, and slept at Wakefield on that and the following (Sunday) night, and walked over to Whitwood on the Monday morning. The Leeds magistrates, at a meeting held on Sunday afternoon, determined to augment the re ward, and only stipulate, in a placard which ap peared yesterday, for the apprehension (not the con viction also) of the suspected man. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST' A SUR LEON.--EXTRAORDINARY CASE. On Saturday last Mr. Charles Alleyne Chevasse, a surgeon, who has for many years practised at Smethwick, appeared before the magistrates sitting at the public-office, West Bromwich, in answer to a charge of having committed a rape upon and sub sequently administered poison to a young woman named Harriet Gill. The case was first heard on Saturday week, when the prosecutrix, a young wo man, apparently about 27 or 28 years of age, accom panied by her mother, and both dressed in mourn ing, came into court. The defendant was present, having engaged the services of Mr. Bayley, solici tor, Wednesbury. As we understood, Harriet Gill had stated her intention previously to appear and give her statement, and Mr. Chevasse having had an intimation that such a, course would be taken attended the court. From the appearance of the young woman it was evident she was in a very ill state of health—her face and even her lips were as pale as marble, and she spoke in such a low feeble tone of voice as to be at times inaudible. She said that some two years ago she entered the service of Mr. Chevasse, no other person besides herself and this gentleman being inmates of the house. When she had been there about three months Mr. Chevasse threw her down on the draw ing•room floor and committed a rape upon her person. •The magistrates at once said—Why has not so serious a charge been made the subject of investiga tion before now ? We cannot go into this matter. Harriet Gill went on to say that her master threatened her life if she told any one of the out rage, and on the last Sunday in May Mr. Chevasse gave her some medicine, and she had not been well since. He went on to administer physic to her, a dozen bottles full, and some days she was better and some worse, but gradually became weaker and weaker. Three weeks ago her master came at night into her bedroom with a razor in his hand, and threatened to take her life, but subsequently said, " Murdered blood will answer for itself." She had subsequently (as we understood a few days ago) left his house and gone to her mother's, who is house keeper to a gentleman named Whitehouse, at Bil ston. In answer to questions put to her, Harriet Gill said that she had had one bottle of medicine from Mr. Allcock, surgeon, of Smethwick, within the last week, and had also two boxes of Whelp ton's pills during her illness. Mr. Bayley then said, on behalf of Mr. Chevasse, that that gentleman had no specific charge to answer, and it must be left with the Court to sal' what ulterior steps, if any, should be taken. At this stage Mr. Chevasse volunteered a state• ment, to the effect that Harriet Gill was of unsound. mind (monomania), that the medicine he had admi nistered to her was quinine, she suffering from worms, and that she had been seen by Mr. Davis and Mr. Tovhsend, surgeons, who had thought her faculties impaired. After some conversation, in which the magis trates, Mr. Hebbert and Mr. Chevasse joined, the matter was adjourned for a week, Mr. Chevasse undertaking in the interim to have Harriet Gill examined as to her state of mind " by the best me dical authority in Birmingham," Mr. Chevasse pledging himself to attend the court the ensuing week. As this matter was heard privately, under the circumstances we did not publish it in our usual weekly police report. On Saturday last this strange affair accordingly came before the same bench of magistrates, and. Mr. Chevasse, who attended, had the professional services of Mr. W. S. Allen (firm of Hodgson and Allen, Birmingham). When, however, Harriet Gill was called, she did not appear. But after Mr. Allen had ably addressed the court on behalf of his client, a young woman came into the room and handed in to the magistrates a certificate, signed by Messrs. Cooper and Gilbert, surgeons, High-street, Bilston, and dated S e pt em b er the 3d :—" We cer tify that Harriet Gill is suffering from hysterical fits, and unable to attend the court to day." Mr. Allen then read to the bench a copy of a notice served upon Harriet Gill, to the effect that Mr. Chevasse would attend at West Bromwich police -court this day to answer any and every charge which she (Harriet Gill)might prefer against him. The learned advocate then went on in a clear and emphatic way to deny, on the part of Mr. Chevasse, the truth of any of the statements made against him. The rape and the poisoning (for to that extent the charge went) Mr. Chevasse solemnly denied. He had never acted with the least immo rality towards Harriet Gill, nor administered her other than simple medicine for a trifling complaint. He had never threatened to take her life, nor en tered her bed-chamber; and, in fact, he gave the most solemn and unequivocal denial to her state ments. It was true that she, a single woman, and he, a-single man, lived alone in the house ; but he had numerous witnesses, who came to the house frequently, to state that they never saw the least immorality on his (Mr. Chevasse's) part towards Harriet Gill. Mr. Allen went on to say that Mr. Green, the able medical officer at the Birmingham Lunatic Asylum, was now in court, prepared to give evidence as to th e s t a t e o f m i n d of Harriet Gill. Mr. Nicol was also present to give his evidence of an exculp a t ory c h arac t er as to Mr. Chevasse s conduct to his servant. He (Mr. Allen) had, also prepared t o s h ow that if Mr. Chevasse as Harriet Gill requ i r ed, advanced her money to o set herself up i n a m all way of business charges,notihng whatever would have been heard of these which so deeply affected the character and posi tion of a medical man. Thistraitin the e e c t a h s e e evinced a degree of cunning antagonistic monomania. Finally, Mr. Allen asked of the magistrates to give Mr. Chevasse credit for the. solemn denial he made of the shocking Flinger raised against him. After cons ulting with Mr. Thurstleld (Wednes bury), who acted for Mr. Hebbert, and with Mr. Bodington, Mr, Sharp said that so far as their opinion went Mr. Chevasse stood f ree f rom c h arges which effected hi o so vitally, The matter as against him must be amassed. Of course if the . charges were persevered in, Mr. Chevasse Would take the course he might be advised. Mr. Cheasse and his friends, accompanied by Mr. Allen, v then bowed and retired.Birminghant Post. MURDER AT SEA. We gave a brief account in The Sun of Friday 01 _ a shocking murder which occurred on b oard a vessel called the Margaret, which put into Falmouth a few days ago in consequence of the tragi cal occur rence. From the evidence adduced at the inquest it appears that the Margaret sailed from Lisbon for Quebec on Thursda the 11th of August. Ea rl y on the morning of the 22d, when the vessel in wase' ,a little distance north of the Western-Islands, l' 40 44 N., long. 24 51 W., the boatswain, who was acting acting as second mate and had the watch, alarmed by one of the seamen, name d rushing out of the forecastle, screaming and sar ti g portu Antonio, one of the crew, and a Brazilian or guese, had attempted to kill him with a knife slept ; that a cut on his face had awoke him'' that he seized the hand of the who struck at him with a knife, and that he Cumming springing up and pursuing him t= threatened to shoot him with a revolver.
