THIRD EDITION. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Mary Ann Hamilton, married, was indicted for Um wil ful murder of her son Henry. The facts of the case were of a most painful description. On the night of the 15th of December, tho prisoner met police constable 16 F, and told him she wanted to give her self up for murdering her son. She told him want and dis tress had driven her to the deed. He went to the residence of the prisoner, Rebecca-court, Wells-street, and there found the body of the child ; it had a piece of linen tied very tightly round its throat, and was quite dead. The place was in a most wretched state of poverty. The jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity. NEW COURT. [(Before Mr. Justice Willes.) THE BURGLARY' AT PADDINGTON. Two men named Pusey, Reeves, and a woman named Collett, were indicted for burglariousy break:llg and en tering the dwelling-house of a lady named Green, residing at 5, Fulham-place, Paddington. The facts of the case have already appeared at length in The Sun, during the examination of the prisoners before Mr. Yardley, and it will be recollected that on the evening of the 24th of October, the room of the lady, Mrs. Green, who had been confined by illness for some months, was entered by two men, one tall, and the other short, the former wearing a black mask, and they both imme diately commenced breaking open the secretarie and drawer and rifling the contents. The tall man went up to the lady and struck her two or three blows with a life-preserver. Sho begged them to spare her life and she would tell them anything they desired. While they were thus engaged, one of the domes is servants, named Sarah Askew, entered the room and there saw the men, when they made their escape, taking with them a quantity of plate that was in Mrs. Green's bedroom—her watch and other articles. After they had left the place a life-preserver, a screw driver, and a crape mask were found in the rocm. The woman Collett had been formerly engaged as nurse to Mrs. Green, and from certain suspicious circumstances she had been dis charged and forbidden the house. She had been seen in the company of Reeves and Pusey, and therefore was sus pected of being concerned in the rubbery. The domestic servants of Mrs. Green, and the police, having been examined, Ellen Green was called, who said—l know the pri soner Pusey. In the month of October I was coha biting with Pusey at 1, Nightingale -street. I know the prisoner Reeves, and 1 heard about the robbery in Fulham-place. Reeves was living at 27, Victoria-place, Bayswater, I have been there with Pusey, but sinoe that I have been there alone. I was there on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday before the robbery. On the Thursday and Friday Pusey came. Pusey's sister was living with Reeves, I have slept at that house, On the 17th of October I was at the house and went out in the evening about seven or eight o'clock with Reeves's sister. I know there is a pawnbroker in Church-street. Pusey's sister went into the shop, and we went into Bell-street, when we met Pusey, who showed us a latch-door key, and said, " I've been there and it wont fit." Pusey asked his sister to give him some more money to buy another. Sho did so, and he left to purchase the key. I afterwards saw Pusey near the Bridge House Hotel. He asked mo if I had Pusey wel showed eft the bl ic. seen George (Reeves). We went into the public-house and had some rum andwater, light.when After latch key over the gas house and went towards Fulham-place, Pusey's sister and myself left them, and Reeves and Pusey turned down Fulham-place, where we remained. I saw Reeves with his back against the lamp post when Pusey came to him. The two men then left the place near which they had been, and when they came up to us:said, "The key wont fit, it wants filing." After this I left, but on the fol lowing Friday I went to Reeves's lodgings again. While I was there Pusey came in and we all went out together about seven o'clock. We went towards Paddington, the two min left us near the Harrow-road. I and my companion went to James-street, Eastbourne-terrace, and afterwards we went to the Queen publichouse, where we saw Mrs. Collett, whom I had never before seen. I first saw her outside Mrs. Carr's house in James-street. Pusey's sister threw a stone down the area, and Mrs. Collett came out with a jug in her hand and without a bon net. When she came into the public-house she entered into conversation with Reeves and Pusey. I was asked to go and find Mrs. Collett's husband, so I left the other four in the public-house. I found him, and we returned toge ther to the Queen public-house. After a short time Mrs. Collett went back to the house with the beer, and we all left for a walk round the square. Pusey left me a week afer the robbery. About a fortnight after this I saw Reeves in company with Pusey's sister. She said, '° We've notbeen home lately, as the police were looking after them. I've had to cut George's moustache off, and he's got a bad cold through it." I know the life preserver now put into my hand. I have seen it before at Reeves' lodging, and have blown the whistle at the end of it. I saw some black crape there on thetrhursday. Cross-examined—l have been tried and convicted for un lawful possession. I was sent to prison for six months I never cohabited with a man named Macdonald. I have known him for some time, but he was not convicted at the time I was. He was sent to prison for 18 months, not for the same offence for which I was sent to prison. I don't know for what ho was convicted. I lived with Pusey for about a month or five weeks. I had no quarrel with him before that. I afterwards heard that ho had gone back to his wife I had no quarrel with him before I gave my evidence. I had a quarrel with his wife. After I had given my evidence to Mr. Lewis I first saw by the newspapers that the prisoners were apprehended. I was subpoenaed to attend by the police. Re-examined—l was convicted for the unlawful posses sion of some clothes, which had bees given' o me by a young man. They asked me to tell the name and address of the young man. I refused, and got six months. Tho occasion of the quarrel with Pusey's wife was that she stabbed me with a knife. She is now in prison for the offence. The jury had not returned their verdict when wo went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) DI ARLBOROUGII-STREET. Trn STABBING CASE IN PORTLAND PLACE.—This morning, Mr. Tyrwhitt, the sitting magistrate, was waited upon by Inspector Stokes, to take the deposition of Henry Beckett, now lying in the Middlesex Hospital, suffering from peritonitis, the effect of a stab he received at the hands of a man named John Quigley, on the 27th of December last, at No. 10, Portland-place. Mr. Ty:whitt wont to the hospital accompanied by the chief clerk (Mr. Leadley) and Mr. Willis, the usher, and took the injured man's deposition, which was to the effect that he went, being the time-keeper, and having authority to do so, to the house, and called on the prisoner to come out of a room in which he was locked, and that he refused, but on the door b. ing opened ho stabbed him in the belly with a knife through several thicknesses of clothes, The injured man having signed the deposition, the magistrate retired. _ _ Mr. Marshall, Mr. Gambier, and Mr. Hunt, of the Middlesex Hospital, have been unremitting in their atten tion to the injured man, who is not expected to survive many hours. The prisoner will be brought to the court on Friday. ROBBING A SOLICITOR'S STUDENT.—Rebecca White, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. George Thomas, of 10, Cambridge-street, Pimlico. The prisoner met the prosecutor at two this morning, near the Guards' Clubhouse, King's-place, St. James's, when she asked him to treat her with some brandy and water. He consented to do so, and went to the Fox and Grapes public house close by for tho purpose. On coming out of the house he stood for a minute at the corner of a street, when the prisoner put her arms round him, and he then felt his chain dangling down and his watch gone. On accusing her of taking it she denied doing so, but stooped down and fumbled about her dress, He then heard a chink in an area, and on giving prisoner into custody, and subse quently searching in the area, he found the ring. Salisbury, 116 C, said, after corroborating the latter part of the prosecutor's statement, that although the prisoner had been searched at the station, nothing was found on her. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. THE HORSE AND ITS TREATMENT.—John Bedding ham, in the employ of Mr. Walden, of Westminster, a meat carrier for butchers, was charged at the instance of Mr. William Love, Superintendent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Pall-mall, with cruelty to a horse. Heifer and Rutherford, two of the society's officers, saw the horse drawing a cart in which there was a quantity of meat, and observing that it was in a wretched state, they examined it, and found that it had a dropped shoul der, both knees broken, and a wound on its back, into which the saddle was pressing. The horse was com pletely worn out, and the defendant told them that his mistress had taken it in exchange for another. In answer to a question, Heifer said the horse was only fit to be slaughtered. The horse was brought to the Court, and certainly was in a most pitiable condition, and but for the interference of the officers of the society would soon have died in the street.. It is even doubtful, though employed in butcher's work, and renowned as they are for making any animal go, whether it could be got more than to crawl. The owner having been sent for, and consented to have it slaughtered, the defendant was discharged, the officers being ordered to see that it was destroyed. COTTON TO NEW YORK.—The demand for steam ships to carry cotton from Liverpool to New York still con tinues, and yesterday the steamer Bahiana, Commanler Sharp (lately engaged in the Red Sea Telegraph Com pany's service) was taken up for the conveyance of cotton from Liverpool to America. The Bahiana is a first-class steamer, and as the quick transit of cotton from Liverpool to New York is desirous, the charterers will not be disap poluted, The Bahiana will 'ail in a few days, BUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

Naval Cadet--Cecil F. Doraville (nominated). THE WINDHAM FAMILY. At the present moment our readers may be glad to have placed before them a short outline of the history of the ancient family of Windham, in reference to the important trial which has been occupying so much of public attention during the last few weeks. The first point to state is, that the Windhams flourished in Norfolk, and other Eastern counties, before the Con quest; and the second, that, as the Duke of Wellington is not a Wellesley, but a Colley; the Pagets not Pagets, but Bailys ; the Duke of Northumberland not a Percy, but a Smithson ; and Lord Nelson not a Nelson, but a Bolton ; just so Mr. 'William Frederick Windham, of Fel brigge Hall, Norfolk, the owner of estates in that county and Suffolk to the value of from £15,000 to £20,000 a•year, is not a Windham at all, but a Lukyn or Lukiu, We will attempt to show how this happens. By referring to Morant's "History of Essex, we find that one Geoffrey Lukyn, Esq., of Dunmow, in that county— the village celebrated by the "Flitch of Bacon" procession —held lands in that parish by a grant from King Henry VIII: This Geoffrey was the third son of Richard Lukyn, Esq., of Chignall, in the same county, who had other issue, from whom the Earl of Verulam is said to be descended by Sir B, Burke From the above-mentioned Geoffrey was lineally descended in the third or fourth generation one Robert Lukyn, of Wellestye, Essex, who married Mary, the daughter of Lionel Lane, Esq., by whom he had a son Robert. This Robert Lukyn in his turn married and had a son, whose son, George William, wa■ a rather celebrated divine in his day, and rose to become a Dean of Wells. He married Catherine, second daughter of Robert Doughty, Esq., of Hanworth Park, Norfolk. Robert Lukyn's wife Sarah married as her second husband ono William Windham, Esq., by whom she was the mother of the celebrated statesman of the reign of George 111., the Right Hon. William Windham, M.P., the early friend, and, subsequently, the political antagonist of Fox, and who, having represented Norwich, Higham-Ferrers, &c., for many years, closed his long and brilliant Parliamentary career in May, 1810, leaving a life interest in his estates to his relict, Frederica Cecilia, the daughter of Admiral For rest, with remainder to his nephew, Mr. William Lukyn, eldest son of the above-mentioned Dean of Wells. This latter gentleman, who had served in the war under Nelson and Hood, and who me eventually to the rank of a Vice-Admiral in the British Navy, on Mrs. Windham's decease assumed, by Royal license, the surname and arms of Windham only, in lieu of those of Lukyn, in 1821, when he succeeded to the Felbrigge and other estates of his de ceased uncle. He married Anne, daughter of Peter Thel lusson, Esq., of Broadsworth, Yorkshire (brother of the first Lord Rendlesham), by whom he had issue a family of five daughters and five sons. Tho eldest daughter of Admiral Windham married Henry Baring, Esq. ; the second married George Wind ham, Esq., of Cromer, Norfolk, and after his death the late Earl of Listowel; the third became the wife of James H Holley, Esq., of Burgh, Norfolk ; the fourth married the Hon. R. Hare (brother of Lord Listowel) ; and the fifth married Sir Henry Cooke. Of the sons the yetngast is, or was, an officer in the Ist Foot; the fourth is Major-Gen6ral Charles Ashe Wind ham, C. 8., the hero of the Redan, and late M.P. for East Norfolk, who is one of the petitioners in the present case ; the third son is, or was, a captain in the navy ; and the second is, or was, rector of Felbrigge ; the eldest son of the late Vice-Admiral was the late Mr. William Howe Windham, of Felbrigge Hall, who was a nsagistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for his native county, of which he served as High Sheriff in 1812, and the eastern division of which he represented in the Liberal interest in the second reformed Parliament. He died in 1854, leaving by his wife, the Lady Sophia B ervey, daughter of the late, and sister to the present Marquis of Bristol, an only son and successor, the present Mr. William Frederick Windham, of Felbrigge, born in August, 1840, whose sanity is now being called in question, and the leading events of whose life in Norfolk, at Eton, and in London, including his mar riage with Miss Agnes Willoughby, alias Rogers, are now so prominently brought before the public.

In 1561 the number of those vessels entering the river had increased to 7,262, showing an increase of arrivals within the period mentioned of 4,416 vessels. It is said the Sumter, which was announced yesterday as having put into Cadiz after having destroyed three Fedez al merchant ships, is not a privateer, but a regularly commissioned ship of war of the Confederate or "rebel " States. THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF ENGLAND AND THE QUBEN.—Wo understand that, in accordance with the sug gestion recently thrown out by the Cardinal Archbishop, a meeting of the clergy of the diocese of 'Westminster was held on Tuesday, for the purpose of presenting an address of condolence to her Majesty on her sad bereavement.— Wiekly Register. Messrs. Baring have notified that they are in receipt of the £lOO bonds of Buenos Ayres, to be delivered to those holders who have applied to exchange bonds of a larger denomination for an equivalent amount in lesser ones. Facilities will now exist for small investors. Hitherto the lowest bonds were for 4600. TAE NAVY. Admiralty orders have been given for the follow ing screw gunboats, attached to the third-class steam reserve in the Medway, at Chatham, to be immedi ately fitted for the second division :—The Manly, Mastiff, Fetter, Thrasher, Fidget, Spey, Pigeon, Tickler, Thistle, Linnet, and Dwarf. The gunboats attached to the second division of the steam reserve are being prepared for the first division, to take the place of those despatched to the various seaports. They are the Mistletoe, Spanker, Herring, and Sepoy. Each gunboat will be armed with a 100-pounder and 40-pounder Armstrong gun. The greatest alacrity is being displayed by the officers and crew of the iron ship Defence in rigging her and bringing her forward for sea. The whole of her topmasts are now pointed, and it appears evident that the work of fitting, so far as it rests with the crew, will be accomplished with the greatest despatch. Yesterday the War Department transport Marl borough went alongside the gun wharf at Chatham, for the purpose of shipping the Armstrong guns for the Severn, 51, 500 horse power, one of the advance frigates fitting to be in readiness fcr immediate ser vice. In addition to eight 8 inch 65 cwt. guns, 18 32 pounders of 58 cwt. each, and 14 32-pounders of 45 cwt. each, which have already been supplied her, the Severn is to be furnished with 1 100-pounder Armstrong pivot gun, 4 70-pounders, and 6 40- pounder Armstrongs. The Marlborough also ship ped a quantity of Armstrong conical shot and shell for the Severn. The Calypso, 18, sailing corvette, Capt. Frederick B. l'vlontressor, arrived at Spithead yesterday morn ing from the Pacific. She sailed from Callao Aug. 22, 1861, and arrived at Valparaiso on Sept. 16 ; sailed thence on October Ist ; entered Magellan's Straits on the 17th, and anchored in Port Famine on the 19th. There the grave of Capt. Pringle Stokes, who died while in command of her Majesty's ship Beagle, was visited and put in order. On the following day the Calypso anchored off Sandy Point and some stores which had been brought for the Governor of the Chilian settlement from Valparaiso were landed. She arrived at Rio de Janeiro on No vember 9th, where she remained until the 13th, when she finally sailed for England. Fayal was passed on December 19th, and colours exchanged with the signal station of the English Consul, but the weather was too boisterous for further commu nication. Within 300 miles of Spithead strong easterly winds were met with, which lengthened a passage which otherwise would have been a remark able good one, considering the time the ship has been in commission and the necessarily foul state of her bottom. The Racoon, 22, screw, Capt. Chamberlain, has sailed from Spithead to Chatham to pay off, &c. The screw steamship Cecilia, Capt. Toovey, from the lonian Islands for London, which coaled at Plymouth on Tuesday, left Gibraltar on the 28th of December, when the screw steamship Caesar, 86, Captain Thomas H. Mason, and two other large ships were in port. One ship of war left for Ame rica on the 26th. The Caesar would have followed on the 27th but for the severity of the weather. A large fleet of merchant ships came through the Straits with the Cecilia. The screw steam sloop Stromboli, 6, Commander Arthur R. Henry, bound to the south-east coast of South America, is detained at Plymouth, possibly to convey the gunboat Spider. The screw steam frigate Plieebe, 61, went on Monday, on a trial trip from llamoaze to the offing at Plymouth to try her machinery. If the intelli gence from America prove peaceful she will be placed in the first division of the steam reserve at Devonport. The screw steam gunboats Gleaner, Tilbury, Ripple, and Nightingale, were hauled on Monday out of the basin in Devonport Dockyard, and placed alongside the floating depot in Hamoaze to complete their supply of coal. These boats are rigged, their sails are bent, and they are ready for the first division of the steam reserve. In a fe* days they could be prepared for active service at sea. The engines of the Heron and Trinculo will be ready for a trial at sea in a few days. The screw steamship Revenge, 89, which lately carried the flag of Admiral Stuart, is now in Hamoaze, ready, on the receipt of orders, to proceed into Plymouth Sound. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Robert Hodge, in the Corn wallis, E. T. Read, in the St. George, Walter Ash, in the Asia, for the Blazer; H. G. Pilcher, in the Simocn, J. Matthews, in the Hardy, and J. E. Der rick, in the Weser, have been promoted to, - Engi neers ; J. 'Weir, in the Algiers, W. Castle, in the Alecto, and F. H. Morgan, in the Queen, have been promoted to acting engineers ; W. Hammond, in the Vigilant, promoted to first-class assist.-en gineer; D. B. Keiller and R. Sutherland, acting second-class assist.-engineers, to be the Asia as supernumeraries; J. T. Rose, acting second•class assist.-engineer, to the Cumberland, and lent to the Formidable ; Edwin R. S. Card, clerk, to the Royal Adelaide ; Lewis G. Hodder and John Carlisle, clerks, to the Victory. THE ARMY. We have just received news of the safe arrival at Quebec of the troops which embarked in the Persia, and at Halifax of those which embarked in the Australasian. The Australasian took out from Liverpool the Ist Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, numbering 40 officers and 833 non-commissioned officers and rank and file, including an hospital corps of 20 men. She had also on board seven officers and 254 men of the Royal Artillery, toge ther with a battery of six Armstrong guns, with their whole train, consisting of 16 carriages. The Australasian also carried 6,000 stand of arms, in addition to those borne by the troops, together with 400,000 rounds of ball cartridge. The Rifle battalion went out under command of Lord Alex ander Russell, brother of Earl Russell, and among the officers of the corps were Major the Hon. J. Stuart, whose brother is already with Lord Lyons at Washington, as one of his Attaches ; Capt. Lord A. Clinton, brother of the Duke of Newcastle; Lieut. Lord Edward Cavendish, son of the Duke of Devonshire; Lieut. the Hon. F. Somerville, Lieut. the Hon. A. Pennington, and Ensign Lord Albert Cecil. The Persia embarked the Ist Battalion of the 16th Regiment of Foot, from Sheffield and Weedon, and a detachment consisting of four officers and 118 men of the Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. Magnay. The 16th con sisted of 36 officers and 823 men, besides an hospi tal corps of 46 men belonging to the battalion, under command of Col. Peacock. Besides those above enumerated there were also 70 men of the Commissariat Staff Corps. Gen. Russell, with two aides-de-camp, was also on board, together with Deputy-Assistant-Commissary-Gen. Festing, and Mr. Thorn, of the Military Store Staff. The first division of the depot battalion, Royal Artillery, stationed at Sheerness, has been aug mented by the arrival at head-quarters of 200 non commissioned officers and men from the division at Warley, who have been distributed am on g the five batteries composing the division. In accordance with an order to that effect, r eceived at the garri son from the office of the Del)uty-Assist ant- G ene ral, Capt. Hughes, Lieut. Spragge, Lieut. Stedm an , and 150 non-commissioned officers and gunners have proceeded to Shoeburyness to go through a regular course of gunnery instruction with the Armstrong ordnance, preparatory to embarking for colonial service. The recent augmentations which have taken place in the corps of Royal Artillery have materially strengthened the first division at Sheer ness, which now numbers nearly 1,200 men of all ranks, with a proportionate number of officers. Excepting under very urgent circumstances, all leave been discontinued, o f absence to officers at Chatham garrison has bdiscontinued, and most o f the officers who have ee been granted leave of absence have joined their re spective battalions at the garrison. The following officers have joined their several depots at Chatham during the last few days, in accordance with orders to that effect :—Capt. A. Goren, 19th Regiment; Capt. W. H.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) In the first week of the year the deaths registered in London rose to 1,367. The average number in the first week of the teu previous yeats (18-52-61), corrected for increase of population, is 1,425. The rate of mortality that prevailed last week, there tore, was not so high as the average. If it had been as high, each day would have witnessed eight deaths :nom than the number that actually occurred. Next to scarlatina, which is returned in 77 cases, and which is not now so fatal as it was in Novem ber, whooping-cough is conspicuous in the list of zvmotic diseases. It rose last week to 73, of which 5 deaths occurred in the north-west sub-district of Chelsea, 4 in the first sub district of Kennington. Of the five recorded by the Registrar of Chelsea north-west, all except one occurred in one family, that of a journeyman bricklayer, who lived at 16, Wellesley grove. The subjects of so great a mortality were children, the youngest aged five months, the oldest four years. Typhus also exhi bited an increase; it was fatal in 58 cases, 30 of which were registered as " typhoid fever," and among these is the death of a boy, 13 months old, at 4, Cottage-court, Holborn, from " typhoid fever, caused by bad drainage.' There were 158 deaths from bronchitis, 7t from pneumonia. Both diseases, but especially the latter, are below the average as regards their mortality. A pensioner, aged 42, who bad been a soldier, died in the workhouse, Holborn, in consequence of exhaustion and exposure. The wife of a shoe maker, aged 30 years, died in the workhouse, Borough-road, from " privation." Last week the births of 1,104 boys and 1,069 girls, in all 2,173 children, were registered in Lon -lon. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852 61 the average number (corrected) was 1,848. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.126 in. The mean daily reading was about 30 in. on the first five days. The barometer rose to 30.37 in. on Sunday, and fell to 29 68 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 34.1 degs., which is 2 7 degs. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The weather was cold in the earlier part of the week, and the mean daily temperature was below the average till Thursday. The thermo meter fell below, or was but slightly above the freezing point of water on five nights of the week; it fell to its lowest point, 23.5 degs., on Monday. l'he highest day temperature was 41 8 degs. on Saturday. The range in the week was therefore IS•3 degs. The mean daily range was 8 . 6 degs. l'he difference between the mean dew-point tem perature and air temperature was 3 6 degs. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, com plete saturation being represented by 100. The wind blew from the north-east till Friday, when it turned to W. and N.W., but there was little move ment of the air. The whole amonnt of rain was 5 hundredths of an inch. Fogs were frequent. No ozone. Tills DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh supply of English wheat to this morning's market was very moderate. The trade may be considered firm as regards prices, both for red and white qualities ; but sales for the most part progressed with considerable slow ness. The show of samples of foreign wheat was not to say ex tensive, yet the demand ruled inactive on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request at late rates. Malting barley sold freely at extreme currencies; grind ing and distilling sorts moved off slowly at previous cur rencies. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, yet no change took place in prices. For oats there was a steady demand, and the quotations were well supported. Beans—the supply of which was moderate—were dull at Monday's decline in their value. Peas met a slow sale at late rates. The quotations for flour were without change from Mon day ; the trade, however, was far from active. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. 610 1,060 1 1,910 180 I 1,220 sacks.

' PUBLIC DEGRADATION OF MICHAEL MIKHAILOFF —The Police Gazette of St. Petersburg has an account of the public degradation in that city of Michael Mikhailoff, found guilty of propagating writings intended to excite rebellion against the supreme power. The unfortunate man has been sent for six years' labour in the mines. Mikhailoff is said to have submitted to the ceremony, which takes place on a scaffold, a sword being formally broken over his Mid, &c., with great courage. A subscription has been made amongst literary people of St. Petersburg on behalf of the condemned, and the sum of 4,800 crowns has been raised to (noble hint to ride the journey to Siberia. A SHAM MARRIAGE PORTION. —The Imperial Court of Paris has just heard an appeal from a judgment of the Tribunal of First Instance, by which M. Felix Moch was condemned to restore the sum of 1,000 f., the 1 marriage portion of a young lady named Lindos, whose union with his brother, Bernard Moch, he had brought about by representing that the latter possess3d 10,000 f. in cash, and had good business prospects. After the wedding, however, it appeared that Bernard had nothing of his own, but was indebted to his brother for the sum of 10,000 f., which was paid with the young lady's fortune. After hearing counsel on both sides, the Court, considering that M. Felix Moch had fraudulently misrepresented his brother's circumstances, simply confirmed the judgment ordering him to pay back the money to the young lady fo r her separate use. FIRE ON BOARD A STEAM VESSEL IN THE THAMES. —Last night considerable alarm was caused on each side of the river Thames below bridge, owing to a rapidly destruc tive fire breaking out on board the steam tug True Briton, lying off Bull's Head-wharf, Rotherhitbe, the property of Dar. Nicholls, of Water-lane, City. When discovered the fire was raging in the berths of the fore part of the vessel, an d e very attempt was made by all on board to extinguish for by th s e ba e n n d gin a e n s d . the fl a mes, but they continue d t o spread with great rapi risbneungisciltand set to work, rapi dity, so that it was fot floatingua k n e d n necessary e he s en s r a g r mi y no t eo o , b Mi n ha t es i opo n n' s w p we i ar te fsug o lu f si t techka e lnly vast torrents of water thrown into the vessel, the flames continued their ravages, and, as a dernier ressort, it was found absolutely necessary to scuttle the vessel. Fortunately the tide was up at the time, and the steamer gradually fill e d w ith wa t er an d th en sun k. Th e origin of the fire is unknown. The vessel, it is believed, was insured in the Phoenix or Royal Exchange Fire. office. FELONIOUS ELOPEMENT AND CAPTURE AT HARTLEPOOL.—The gossips of Hartlepool have for some days past had their mouths filled with recounting the par ticulars in all their minktest details—and which, of course, suffer no diminution 4the transmission—of an elopement in which the principal figure is an officer in her Majesty's service. William Robertson, master gunner in the Royal Artillery, came toHartlepool some time ago to give instruc tion to the Artillery Volunteers, and took up his quarters at the Heugh Battery near the lighthouse. There he con tinued for some months, and by his affable and agreeable de meanour secured the goodwill and respect of all who were brought into contact with him. So great was the opinion held of him, that the interest of the volunteer officers was exerted on his behalf, and resulted in his being presented with a commission, entitling him to the rank of captain. His pay increased in proportion. He was enabled to live comfortably. Although a married man, blessed with her a nl v‘e- oeamiable wife, he formed a liaison with d ry he tempo the I wifeth of the landlord of the Rose and Crown p : .i o f s o t . e rnn l guilty pair, after they had proceeded so far, res d t a t ome more join their fortunes, and leave Hartle congenial sphere. Accordingly, last week fe , a z rary absence of the landlord, the guilty wife para mour contrived to pack up a lot of weari ng_ _ .aPparel and articles of household furniture, and took their departure for Liverpool. Robertson's name was on the packages, so that there was little difficulty•_m tracking in the fugitives ; 1 an 3. accordingly, an officer was despatchedpursuit, and 12 , w as charged (bef ore th e M ayor ) w ith broughtFridFriday ba morningck the goods, andßobertson with them.
