711. E NAVY. Letters from the West Indies report the following movements of her Majesty's ships on that station : The Challenger, 22 guns, Capt. Kennedy, C. 8., arrived at Barbadoes on the 18th of July, 26 days from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to relieve the Immorta lite, which vessel had sailed for St. Thomas, and was there when the mail left. The Ariadne, 26 guns, Capt. Vansittart, left Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 14th for Vera Crnz, with provisions for the Phaeton, lying there, and was afterwards to go to Halifax. The Aboukir, 80 guns, replaces the Imaum at Port Royal as the receiving ship on the station, the crew of the latter vessel being turned over to her. Capt. Morsh, late of the Imaum, has left for England on account of continued ill-health. The Agamemnon arrived at Port Royal on the 16th ult. from Halifax, and was to leave for England on the 7st inst., bringing home the officers and crew of the Aboukir. The Spiteful arrived at Jamaica on the 12th ult. from the Spanish Main, and the Orlando on the 13th for Bermuda. The Topaz was at Callao, and the Chameleon at Panama. Five large steamers, supposed to be French reinforce ments for Mexico, had been seen passing within sight of Port Royal, going westward. The Peruvian steamers of war Marone, Capt. Ferrara, and Bastassa, Capt. Barcke, both screws, put into Falmouth on Thursday afternoon, from the eastward, and, after being coaled at the depot, sailed again on Friday morning for round the Horn. The iron-plated steamship Black Prince arrived at Portland early on Friday morning, and anchored close to the Warrior. The latter vessel, having filled up with coals and provisions, is expected to leave the harbour shortly for a cruise. The Black Prince will probably remain at Portland some days. The other Government vessels in the harbour are the Colossus, 80, the cadet ship Britannia, and the gunboat Biter. The whole of the false keel of the Caledonia iron-cased frigate, in a forward state of construction at Woolwich, has been put in place during the past week, and preparations are in progress for laying the launching ways. Directions have been received from the Admiralty to ventilate the cabins and lower deck of this ship, as well as others of the same class, on the principle on which the Warrior was fitted at that yard, and which has been found to answer so satisfactorily. A large amount of pre paration has been commenced for the accommoda tion of visitors during the launch, by the erection of booths and platforms, &c. The Sutlej, 36, screw frigate, in the Ist class re serve at Portsmouth, is ordered for immediate com mission. This fine craft, the handsomest of our converted frigate, has been cut in two, lengthened amidships, a new bow given to her, and her stern adapted to carry a propeller, engines of 500-horse power being put on board by Maudslay, Field, and Son. When fitted out for sea she was tried at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, working a Griffiths screw of 17ft. 6in. diameter and a pitch 20ft., and realized a mean speed of 13.067 knots. The Powerful, 84, old sailing vessel, left the Medway on Friday, in tow of the Medusa paddle wheel tender, Master Jabez Loane, for Portsmouth, where she will be converted into a target ship. The Porcupine, 3, surveying vessel, which has been employed surveying on the coast of Ireland, after landing her sounding gear at Devonport, arrived at Sheerness on Friday to make good defects. As part of the plans of the Admiralty for increas ing the dock accommodation at Portsmouth Dock yard, No. 4 docks is now being deepened sft. by Messrs. Bramble. During the night of Friday an accident occurred. The entrance to the dock is from the old ship basin, and is closed by a caisson in the ordinary manner, water being kept in the basin to render it available for the general work of the yard. The greater portion of the old dock flooring next the caisson, consisting of heavy planking, brickwork, concrete, and piling has been removed, and a semicircular wall built across the entrance to keep the work clear of water, &c. The task of pull ing up the old flooring had been found to be a tedi ous one, and the work proceeded slowly up to Fri day evening, when the men left their work and everything appeared to be perfectly safe, with no indications of any coming disaster. On Saturday morning, however, the dock was found to be filled with water, the flooring, at the point where it had been weakened by the removal of the planking, brickwork, and piles, having blown up from the pressure of water from the basin, and filled the whole work with water. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—James M. Share, master, to the Meander ; the Rev. C. Chapman, chaplain, to the Rattlesnake ; G. A. Tuck, chief engineer, to the Cumberland, for the Royal Oak; Silas H. Liddell, second master, to the Royal Adelaide ; R. H. M. Cornwall and Malcolm M'Neile, midshipmen, to the Edgar. Mr. S. Banker Roupell has been nomi nated to a naval cadetship. The following appointments have been made in the Royal Naval Reserve. To be honorary lieute nants :—Conrad H. Greenhow, John Lambton, and Thos. Smith. The 2d battalion, 20th Regiment, under the com mand of Lient.-Col. Radcliffe, has replaced the 24th Regiment in Portsmouth garrison, the latter having joined the camp at Aldershott. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of Major-General the Hon. Robert Bruce, of St. James's Palace, was proved in her Majesty's Court of Probate by the executors, Sir Michael Robert Shaw Stewart, Bart., M.P., the testator's brother-in-law, and the Hon. Thomas Charles Bruce, the testator's brother. The per sonalty was sworn under £25,000. General Bruce executed his will in 1860, and bequeathed all the property of which he died possessed in England, Scotland, Canada, and elsewhere, to his relict for life, and upon her decease (there being no issue) he bequeaths to his nephew and godson, the Hon. Robert Bruce, son of his brother, the Earl of Elgin, K.T., late Governor-General of Canada, the sum of £5,000, and the remainder of the entire property is to devolve to the issue of the said nephew. The will of Lieutenant-General William Suther land, C. 8., formerly of Nesside, Inverness-shire, N. 8., but late of Glenville Bittirne, Southampton, was proved in London by the relict, sole executrix. The personalty was sworn under £20,000. The General's will is of moderate dimensions, but con tains several bequests and directions, some of which are of a peculiar character. The testator has be queathed to his wife a life interest in all his pro perty, subject to the payment of some small sums to certain members of his family. Upon the decease of the relict £5,000, Which the testator received upon her marriage with him, the General has left to his wife's father's family- The remainder of the with the exception of few of property, a legacies inconsiderable amount, is to be divided amongst the female bradches of the General's faraily,illm, traced London News. The dctailCd, account of the , a ffai rof Asfro monte, as given by 14 of Garibaldi 's staff officers, with a letter from himself, has been literally translated from the Italian, has been printed by the young-women printers, and on Saturday was published by Miss Faithful], at Great Coram-strebt. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning last a fatal accident occurred to John Mclmath, a I employed by a con t rac t or a t W oo l w i c h PoellYnr(.. stone . mason, so nap pears that the deceased was about to proceed to London, and arrived a t th e C harlton Pier for that purpose a t the moment that the steam vessel Swift was leaving on her up passage. In spite of a caution from the ticket collector, the deceased endeavoured to reach the vessel by jumping from the pier, and in so doing fell into the water and was drowned, although every effort was made to rescue him. The body was found about two hours after, and infer mition has been forwarded to Mr. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, fAn vERTISEMENT.]-11olloway's Ointment and Phis.— Constant Changes.—The p resent sudden variations of temperature are most trying to the skin, lungs, t er nne.._ and 'ner t- ,tem.

We gave in a previous impression a brief ac count of an attack by a man armed with a hatchet on the image of the Madonna at St. John's Church, Turin. A Turin correspondent giv 's an amus ing account of the affair, and the cause which led to it, An annual religious procession was being made from the Cathedral to Superga—a spot famous in Piedmontese history—when the attack was made. Towards eleven o'clock in the morning of Mon day last the annual ceremony was in fall progress. Mass had been sung, and the procession was issuing in good order from the main door of the cathedral, a great crowd of people thronged both the inside of the church and the square before it—for, whatever reasons the Piedmontcse and the Italians in general may have to quarrel with their priests, their churches, especially on grand gala days, continue to have their wonted attraction—when a frantic old man forced his way through the densely packed multitude, rushed up to the spot where under her gorgeous canopy the image of the Madonna waited to close the holy pageantry, and drawing from under his clothes a short hatchet dealt with it stroke after stroke upon the gaudily-dressed statue, hewing the head and one arm of the Divine infant to the ground, and hacking the Blessed Mother herself in various places. The image was of silvered brass, but it would hardly have withstood the savage fury of the man's blows, and must have all come to fragments, had not a cavalier who was present, and whose duty it was to keep order, pre vented further mischief by felling the sacrilegious iconoclast to the ground by one stroke of his broad sword. The man was on the ground, and the public officers had a safe grip of him, but he was not to come off on such easy terms. The mob of true be lievers were upon him on all sides, and although the police guards and the carabineers strenuously exerted themselves to screen the bleeding wretch from further harm, they only succeeded in dragging him away in the worst possible plight, after he had been pommelled and pounded to everybody's heart's content. Had the myrmidous of the law been less active and zealous in his defence the in furiated rabble would most certainly have torn him limb from limb. It is rather interesting to read the account given of this " horrible atrocity" by the clerical papers, and to hear their loud appeals to " God's justice" in this sorrowful matter. The Armonio comes forth in all its strength. " Turin, all Piedmont, all Italy, all Christendom, are struck with horror and dis may." It is " impossible to describe the screams, the wails, the confusion which rose in that vast full church" at sight of that dire enormity. A thought glanced through the mind of every one present that such an " unheard of crime was only the signal for a great slaughter, of which every man, woman, and child of the numerous congregation was to be a vic tim." All was " confusion and terror." "It was like a rehearsal of doomsday." What are the real circumstances of the case? The author of the "horrible profanation" was a poor cracked fanatic, an old man of strong devo tional feeling, an assiduous attendant at church, an observer of all religious duties, and particularly ad dicted to the worship of the plated brass image whose mutilation by his hand the day before yes terday made the hair of so many good Turinese stand on end, and to which, with a large number of his townspeople, he ascribed more than divine attri butes and miraculous powers. Besides his devotion to the Virgin, the man, had, however, another ruling passion ; he was a desperate gambler at the public lottery; indeed, it seems he managed to reconcile and combine these two uppermost feelings of his heart, and made his religious zeal subservient to his eager hope to improve his position in the world by some sudden stroke of good fortune. It was for the Madonna to help him. All persons conversant with the manners and usages of the lowest classes in Italy are aware of the faith gamblers at the public lottery put in the power of certain persons, interpreters of dreams, seers of visions, gipsies, soothsayers, maniacs, and more especially priests, Capuchin monks, and hermits, to supply them with a lucky ticket, with the actual numbers sure to issue from the urn on any given occasion. The image breaker of last Monday placed his reliance, not in any mortal aid, but in the patronage of the Deity itself, i.e., of the Virgin, whose brazen effigy was, in his fond con ceit, not only the "Queen of Heaven" herself, but all that mankind hold sacred above the clouds. For hours and hours daily the blind bigot used to kneel at the Virgin's shrine, not praying that God's will be done on earth as it is in Heaven," but that the bountiful Mother should reward the long faithful ness of her old adorer by vouchsafing him terno seeco (three numbers to be played for dead gain or loss). His prayer was heard at last, his wish was granted; a scrap of paper with the three lottery numbers was shortly afterwards found hanging on the drapery of the shrine at the Virgin's feet. Whether the gift was a clear manifestation of divine favour, or a roguish trick of a cunning priest, or of a lay mauvais plaisant, I leave it for the reader to decide. What is certain, however, is that the man was out of his senses with delight, that he ran home, pawned all his valuables, scraped together all the money he could, and staked it all on his lucky heaven-fallen ticket. Of course, not one of his numbers came out. His faith in his idol's omnipotence, as in its honesty, was shaken ; his love was soured into hatred, and he vowed he would have his revenge. The consequences were such as I narrated above. When the broken-pated bleeding wretch was safely lodged in the station-house, he made a clean breast of the cause which had urged him to his strange act of impiety, and protested that he had been " taken in" by the Madonna, and would not stand the shameful imposition. M,CORMACKS IsiEW REAPING MACHINE. The farmers who have waited till they could buy a combined mower and reaper, are not likely to wait much longer before they could satisfy them selves. For some years past there have been grass, mowers that would cut corn, and, with the aid of man, deliver it i n bundles at the back of the ma chine, but wh at was mac hine that had for cornw a a nt g ed eod lv e a e s lf a -oe c t o i m ng bi s n id ed e iv Now Mr. M'C ormack's new reaper has this essential qualification, and also the still further improvement The the co rn i n s h eaves. of these new machines yet in r of only depositin g i tiilg rea e England, and one was tried on Monday last, on a field of April wheat, at Little Plumstead, Messrs. Burgess and Key (who have bought the patent and will manufacture the machines) were repre sented by Mr. Burgess, and Mr. M'Cormack was himself present to superintend this trial of his reaper. Not many Norfolk farmers were on the field, but one or two American gentlemen were present, and also the Baron Ricasoli, the late prime minister of Italy. The machine was not started till one o'clock, and by six had cut down seven acres of wheat. It was a very favourable crop for such a trial, as the corn was all standing ; there was no clover or grass in it, and the field was without furrows. The wheat was sown on the 28th of April, and will yield P e rhaps 30 bushels per acre. The day Was dry and warm, and so there was a combination of favour able circumstances. Nothing could exceed the evenness or the cuttin g an d the process, were laid with wonderful regularity, ready for the binding. This w as very easily accomplished, and the sheaves afte rwards - presented the appearance of having been hand-reap e d, Some farmers have ob jected to the swathe delivery of Burgess and Key's old machine for wheat, and yet did not approve of the sheaves being dropped in the rear of the ma chine, and also that the delivery should depend en tirely on the exertions of the man who handled the rake. But now all the objections are overcome, and the automaton rake delivers the sheaves with an untiring and wondrous exactness that no man could ever attain. The price of this Combined mower and reaper is £34, whereas the cost of B ur _ gels and Key's old reaping machine was 40 guineas, This new machine is entirely under the control and management of the driver, so that a good stron g lad, with a pair of horses, without any assistance, call cut down 'an acre and a half of wheat in an hour. W think . ~_ e th at a f ew sli g ht improvements, which Messrs. Burgess and Key can readily intro duce, so as to more entirely suit English crops, will place this machine a long way ahead of all the other mowers and reapers that have yet been introduced. NUMEI2OUS FIRES. ANOTHER GREAT FIRE IN LAMBETH. This morning, shortly after midnight, the in habitants of Lambeth were greatly alarmed owing to a fire of a very destructive character, and at tended with a great loss of property, taking place in the premises belonging to Messrs. Miles and Mowett, draper and haberdasher, carrying on busi ness at 31, Lower Marsh, Lambeth; and owing to the oil and colour warehouse of Mr. Hall being on one side, in which a quantity of gunpowder and other explosive articles were stored, including turpentine, lucifers, pitch, and resin, and the other were the cheesemonger's stores of Mr. Whitlock, at one time the most serious apprehensions were en tertained for the safety of the entire neighbourhood. The Waterloo-road brigade engines, under Engi neers Medcalf, were soon in attendance, closely followed by Lieutenant Becker, with Hodges' engine, fully manned. Captain Shaw also attended with the steam engine by Shand and Mason, and a great many manual power engines of the brigade under the command of Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the D district. The mains of the Lambeth Company having been drawn, the water from the different plugs rose to the housetops, and the steam with Hodges' and , other manual power engines were set to work, but the fire continued its ravages, and the whole of the inmates had very great difficulty in getting out of the premises. In fact Mrs. Mowett was severely burnt over the hands and face, and Serjeant Osborn assisted another person out of the burning premises. The firemen and others ma naged to remove the powder out of Mr. Hall's oil and colour stores, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen and the bountiful supply of water which was thrown in torrents upon the flames, they con tinued to spread until every part of the building and the back premises, in which the disaster commenced were burned out and the roof off, but fortunately, owing to the indomitable perseverance of the firemen and the judicious directions given by their superior officers, the premises on both sides were saved. The origin of the fire is unknown. Fortunately the suf ferers were insured. The police, under Mr. Super intendent Beckerson ani Inspectors Young and Constable, rendered great assistance by keeping a crowd of several thousands out of danger. A more than usual number of fires took place dur ing Saturday night and yesterday morning in vari ous parts of the metropolis, which were all attended with great loss of property. One fire happened in Regent-street, the premises belonging to several persons, amongst whom were Mr. George Hamilton, an artist ; Messrs. Frederic and Gerrard, court hair-dressers ; Mr. Thivoy, boot maker. The fire originated in the upper part of the building, and was discovered by some inmates being awakened by heated volumes of smoke entering their sleeping apartments. Upon jumping out of bed some:of the inmates had the skin nearly torn off their feet, the flooring being so hot, owing to the fire raging in the rooms below. The Royal Society's fire engines and two steam land-engines by Shand and Mason of the London Brigade were early in arriving, and a plentiful supply of water having been procured they were set to work. By the time the first engine bad been set to work the flames had obtained complete possession of the whole of the four upper floors, and the fire was rushing thi ough the glass roof with such impetuosity and illuminating the neighbourhood so brightly that the conflagration could be seen from the whole of the metropolitan bridges. The engines were worked with the greatest force for several hours, and the firemen were aided by nearly 80 auxiliaries, but they were unable to make the least impression upon the flames until the four upper floors were burned out and the roof off. Three other floors were also seriously damaged by fire, and lower part by water. The whole of the sufferers, with the exception of Mr. Thivoy, were uninsured, but that person was insured in the County Fire Office. About the same time as the above another fire happened in the premises of Messrs. Weston and Westall, salt merchants, situate at No, 29, Wharf road, City-road. This fire was caused by the over heating of the boiler. Two manual power-engines of the brigade, and the land steam-engine by Shand and Mason, were soon in attendance, and a good supply of water was obtained, but the fire could not be extinguished until a great quantity of bags were burned in the store-room. Had it not been for the exertion of the workpeople the loss might have been of a very serious character. Another fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Dove, a grocer and tea dealer, No. 5, New-road, St. George's-in-the-East. This fire was supposed to have been caused by a spark falling amongst a quan tity of paper, and the flames could not be conquered until considerable damage was done. The sufferer was insured in the Phoenix Fire Office. A fire of a very fearful character took place in the extensive steam saw mills and veneer works, in Dean's-mews, Holywell-street, Shoreditch. The flames commenced in a brick and timber building between 60 and 80 feet long, two stories high, and containing a vast quantity of stock in trade. In the course of five or six minutes, owing to the inflam mable nature of the goods contained on the pre mises, the flames rushed through the roof and threatened to destroy the stabling belonging to Air. W. Johnson. Capt. Shaw and Foreman Swanton, with several engines of the parish and London Brigade, with the land steam engine by Shand and Mason, having attended, the mains of the East London Company were drawn, and a boun tiful supply of water having been procured, the firemen went to work in a daring manner, but, in spite of which the conflagration continued to spread, and it could not be conquered until the building was nearly destroyed, the contents consumed, and the roof burned off. The roof and flooring of Mr. Johnson's stables are also severely damaged by fire. It is unknown whether the sufferers were insured or not. Another fire happened in the premises belonging to Messrs. Kemp and Co., agents ; Charles Floyd, pottery agent; Wrn. Quarterman, printer; Thos. Standing, wire netting manufacturer; Bloomer and Sons, wrought iron nail makers ; and Messrs. Sharman and Sons, fryingpan makers, situate at No. 41, London-wall, City. The land steam-engine by Shand and Mason and hand engines quickly attended, as well as the Royal escapes, and plenty of water being at once procured the firemen went to work but they were unable to get the fire sub dued until a serious amount of damage was done by fire and water. The origin of the fire and insur ances are unknown. Last night considerable excitement was cause d in the neighbourhood of Deptford C ree k, ow i ng t o a fire breaking out in the Surrey Consumers Gas Company's works, situate in Creek-street, near D eptford -bridge. The flames commenced in one of the large gas holders, and in a few minutes no fewer than 10,000 cubic feet of gas became ignited, and then the flames rose high into the air, threatening to be a ccompanied by explosions, and the destruc tion of e verything near. A telegraphic message was immediately d espa t c h e d t o M r. H enderson, the chief officer of th e L ondon f i re engine establish ment, and that officer at once had his engine and firemen despatched to the spot, but during the int er anfdrombyexthteenirdine val the workmen laboured in a most praiseworthy exertions, r t t o i otnhs e other flamesr portions the works, and an explosion was in consequence prevented. The fire, it is stated, was caused from prev preventedmanner, flying out of an adjoining a spark w e 1 0 . e f Another fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Meheray, an undertaker, N ) . 98, Horse monger-lane, Sessions-rouse. It commenced in the first floor, and burned from the bedding completely in the fl oor i ng and joisting intense , and the heat became so that looking.glasses, and, in fact, all that u-as in the upper p art of the house was nearly destroyed. Three per sons named Thornton, Still, and Sheen, rendered 'great assist. ance in keepi ng the fi re a t bay pending the arrival of the engines. The suff;, r er was insured in the General Fire Office. SEVERAL SHIPWRECKS. Loss OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL STEAMER, WHITE SWAN.—The particulars of the total loss of the intercolonial mail steamer White Swan, and the narrow escape of the Auckland members of the Le gislative Assembly and Ministry, who were on their way to attend their official duties at Wellington, came to hand on Saturday. On the morning of the 27th June, while the White Swan was steaming at the rate of eleven knots an hour, she struck upon a reef about 18 miles from Castle Point. On coming off it was found she had made a tremendous rent in her bottom, and was filling rapidly. By an inge nious appliance of her bilge injectors the water was so far kept under as to enable the ship to float until she beached, which was accomplished in about an hour. By this scans all the influential persons, amongst them the Chief Justice, were landed. At daybreak next morning the ship was broken up, and the coast strewed with her wreck. The pas sengers were conveyed to Wellington by the Storm Bird steamer, and Sir George Grey, who had him self a rough passage in the Harrier, alluded to the wreck in his speech to the General Assembly. LOSS OF TWO NEW YORK PASSENGER SHIPS. , --- By telegram brought by the Europa steamer, ar riving at Queenstown on Saturday, news was brought of the loss of the well-known passenger ship Senator while on a voyage from New York to Liverpool with passengers and a valuable cargo of merchandise. She encountered the fearful storm spoken of by the Great Eastern, and was abandoned •at sea; all on board are reported to have been saved. The other vessel was the G. B. Lamar, on an outward voyage from the Clyde to New York, and was wrecked on Liscombe Island; crew and pas sengers saved. Both vessels were insured for a con siderable sum. SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE.-011 Saturday the ship Kelton arrived in the Mersey, having on board the captain and one man (the only survivors) of the ship Elizabeth and Jane, which was aban doned at sea, and foundered in lat 31 - 51, long. 68 9 W., and who had been picked up by the Kelton. The whole of the other hands perished. The Indian mail, which arrived on Saturday, brings news of the total wreck of the ship Phantom; this ship, which was heavily laden with treasure, was on a voyage from San Francisco to Hong Kong, when she strack on a reef at the north end of Prato Shoal. The officers and crew and twelve passen gers took to the boats, and twelve boxes, contain ing about 100,000 dollars, were placed in the cap tain's boat. In making for land the boats parted company, and on reaching S watow they were at tacked by pirates, who robbed them of everything. upon. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of September, 1862. (Signed) s' Wm. PATCHETT. " Witness, Henry Honeyman, clerk to Wm. Patchett." THOMAS v. SHIRLEY-THE ATVARD. This remarkable case has advanced another stage, the arbitrator haling, after a very lengthened de liberation, made his award. It will be remembered that in the month of May, 1861, Miss Annie Thomas advertised for a situation as housekeeper to a gentleman, and General Arthur Shirley, of Brookside Lodge, Rugby, answered the advertise ment, subsequently had an interview with her, and offered her in his establishment such a position as she had desired to obtain. On the following day he induced her to visit Kirkman's music shop, in Oxford-street, with him, to select a piano, and after a lengthened interview he proposed marriage to her. The young lady took time to consider, and eventually accepted the General's offer. On a subsequent day, a Saturday, he invited her, as she stated, to dine with him at Blackwell, and on the plea that it was necessary for him to go to South end on business, he took her to that place instead. Having delayed their return till it was too late for any available train, he induced her to remain with him as his wife until Monday morning. She then went with the general to Brookside, and from thence to Ireland, on his repeated assurances that he would marry her there. After their return to Rugby, in February, 1862, when she was within a month of her confinmement, she discovered that the general was a married man, separated from his wife under a formal deed. She immediately left him, and took lodgings in London, where she gave birth to a daughter, which was baptised by the name of Annie Rosalie Shirley. She afterwards commenced an action against the general for breach of promise of marriage, which was tried at Lewes at the last assizes, and resulted in a verdict for the Idefendant. She also brought another action against him to recover the amount she had expended dur ing her confinement and in the subsequent rearing of the child, as well as for the support of herself from the time she left Rugby. This second action war, at the suggestion of the learned judge who tried the first case, referred to Mr. Wm. Patchett, of the Home Circuit, and the hearing before that learned gentlemen occupied several hours on the 19th and 20th ult. Mr. Pawle, the solicitor for General Shirley, argued that his client could not be responsible for any such sums as Miss Thomas had not paid abso lutely, although she had rendered herself liable for them at law. The result of the award is simply that the plain tiff is recouped the money she is out of pocket for things absolutely paid for her under Gen. Shirley's authority up to the 30th June, the day on which the action was brought, and leaves open to further litigation any claim she may prefer for the support of her child since that period. It is stated that a motion for a new trial in the breach of piemise case will be made next term. The fallowing is a verbatim copy of the award : "To all to whom these presents shall come, I, William Patchett, of No. 2, Paper-buildings, Tem ple, Require, send greeting—Whereas an action having been commenced in her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, in which Annie Thomas was the plaintiff and Arthur Shirley was the defendant, it was on the 16th day of August now last past, by an order made in the said action by the Hon. Mr. Justice Willes, by the consent of the said parties, by their counsel, ordered that the record in the said action should be withdrawn, and that the cause should be referred to the award, order, arbitrament, final end and determination of me, the said Wm. Patchett,so as I should make and publish myaward in writing, of and concerning the matters referred, ready to be delivered to the said parties in diffe rence, or such of them as should require the same, on or before the 13th day of September then next ensuing, or on or before such further or ulterior day as I should from time to time appoint and signify under my hand to be endorsed on the said order.

MANSION-HOUSE.—The man who had given the name, supposed to be fictitious, of John Fenne, calling himself a " professional gambler," and whose real name is said to be Murray, underwent a fur ther examination before the Lord Mayor, on the charge of being in the unlawful possession of a stolen £lO Bank of England note. It may be recollected that on Thursday week the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Haas, a money changer, in Fenchurch-street, and exchanged £75 in Bank of England notes for an equivalent sum in French, Belgian, and German money, going imme diately afterwards to a dining-room in Nicholas lane, to which he was watched, without his know ing it, by an errand boy of Mr. Haas. The prisoner had written on one of the notes, " Monsr. Fenne, 14, Peacock -terrace, Victoria Park," as his name and address. As soon as he left the shop the £75 in notes were taken to the Bank of England to be changed for gold, the manner of the prisoner hav ing excited suspicion, and there one of them for £lO was recognised as a stolen note. He was traced to the dining-room referred to, and asked from whom he received it. He said he was a professional gambler, and had won it, though he could not say from whom, at a gaming table at Baden-Baden, from which place he had just come. Failing to give a satisfactory account of himself he was taken into custody, and on being searched at the Bow-lane police station a very considerable sum in French, German, and other money was found upon him, to gether with a gold ring, set with diamonde, a dia mond pin, and a gold watch and chain. The foreign money found upon him was much larger in amount than the sum he had received ut Mr. Haas' shop, and a son of the latter thought the priso ner had called there earlier in the day and ex changed some English money for foreign money. At the station he gave an address in Russell-ter race, Old Kent-road, though he had only an hour before, when at the shop of Mr. Haas, written on one of the notes, " 14, Peacock-terrace, Victoria Park." On inquiry it was found he had only re sided at the house indicated in Russell•terrace since the previous Saturday, and that there was no such place as Peacock-terrace, Victoria Park. The note stopped at the Bank of England was identified as one of those for £lO each, which with £l9 in gold, had been stolen from the pocket of a widow lady named Blackburn, residing at Poun derson's-place, Bethnal-green-road, while she was transacting business at the counter of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.'s bank, on the 15th of August. On the first examination of the prisoner Mrs. Black burn presented herself as a witness, and stated that she had seen the prisoner somewhere before, but she could not say where, nor would she swear she had seen him at the bank of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., though to the best of her belief she did see him there. On this evidence the prisoner had been remanded, and on Monday Charles Bowman, clerk to Mr. Vaughan, pawnbroker and money changer, in the Strand, said the prisoner called there on the 4th of September, three times, and producing three £5O notes and a £lO note, all four of the Bank of Eng land, asked to have them exchanged for Prussian thaler notes and French money, which was done. He had:called there twice before on that morning upon the same business. On one of the £5O notes the prisoner wrote bis name, with an address in Sloane street, Camberwell. On the £lO note he wrote his name only, and Mr. Vaughan having asked him his address, wrote below his name, at his dictation, " 10, Peacock-terrace." The £lO note, numbered 30,329, was produced in court, cancelled by Mr. Baily, from the Bank of England, and identified by the witness Bowman as that which Mr. Vaughan had received from the prisoner. William Saunderson, clerk to Mr. Ravenhill, stockbroker in Throgmorton-street, proved that on the 15th of August he paid Mrs. Blackburn £135 15s. in two £5O notes, three £lO notes, one £5 note, and 15s. in coin. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Black burn returned, and said she had missed the three £lO notes, and at her request Mr. Ravenhill gave her the numbers of them in order that she might stop the payment of them at the Bank. Witness identified the £lO note paid by the prisoner to Mr. Vaughan as one of the three. Sergeant Russell, one of the City detective officers, in whose custody the prisoner was, applied to have him again remanded, on the allegation that he had reason to believe that the prisoner had been in the unlawful possession of stolen notes of the Bank of England to a much larger amount. Mr. Sleigh, the prisoner's counsel, submitted that there was really no more evidence against him than on the previous examination, except the fact, which was indisputable, but consistent with his innocence, that another of the same series of notes happened to have been in the prisoner's possession. Upon the evidence as it stood he was at a loss to under stand how the prisoner could be longer detained in custody. He was charged with having a £lO note, knowing it to be stolen. The fact that immediately after he changed the £75 in bank-notes at a bullion merchant's office, he repaired to a dining-room close by, was inconsistent with the idea of guilty knowledge. Then, again, only one note out of those composing the £75 was detained at the Bank. Was it not more than probable that if the prisoner had been in possession of the note in question with a guilty knowledge, instead of changing it in Lon don he would have taken it abroad, whither he was going, and where he would have had many op portunities of passing it ? The Lord Mayor, interposing, said the prisoner was found in the possession of two stolen £lO bank notes, and he must purge himself of the suspicion in which his conduct had involved him before he could be set free. Besides, Mrs. Blackburn said, to the best of her belief, though he could not swear, the prisoner was in the bank of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., when she was robbed. When called on to explain to the police officers how he came by the £lO note he had paid to Mr. Haas, he behaved in an extraordinary manner. The very fact of his being in possession of the stolen note, with other suspicious circumstances which had not been explained, would justify his being again re manded, putting out of view, for the moment, the statement of the officer, Russell, that he should have to charge him with another offence. Mr. Sleigh said if the only point pressing on the mind of the Court was that the evidence of Mrs. Blackburn rent to create the impression that the prisoner was in the bank when she missed her money, he could prove that at that very time he was abroad. ne Lord Mayor said if that were proved he should be satisfied that the prisoner was not the thief, but there would still be the question whether he was not in possession of the notes with a guilty knowledge. He remanded the prisoner for a week, and peremptorily refused to entertain an applica tion to admit him to bail. BOW-STREET.—TuE TICKET-OF-LEAVE SYS TEM.—A middle-aged, careworn, sickly-looking man, named George 111Wougall, a Scotchman, was charged with baying revoked his licence as a ticket of-leave man by subsequent misconduct. He \vas in 1858 sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude, for burglary, but at the end of May, 1860, was set at liberty on a ticket of leave, and returned and lived with his wife and family in Scotland. A few days ago he got embroiled in a drunken disturbance in the streets of Edinburgh, and being taken before the justices, he was fined 10s. for breach of the peace, and a communication having been sent by them to the Home Secretary, the usual order was issued for the apprehension of the prisoner and his re-committal to the convict prison to fulfil the re mainder of his sentence in penal servitude. Al though in dreadfully ill-health, and in consumption, the prisoner has been brought from Edinburgh by a warrant officer from Bow-street. The convict said he was so ill that he hoped the magistrate would allow him medical aid at once_ Since he had had his liberty, in 1860, no • omplaint was made against him till he had the misfortune to have this bit of a family broil. Not content with fining him 10s., he, a dying man almost, h a d be en dragged from his home, and was to be sent back to a convict prison for eight years, if he lived. He thought it a very hard case. Mr. Cerrie said be thought so too, but he was bound to administer the law, and the order was then made out for the re-admission of the prisoner to a convict gaol. CLERKENWELL.—THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A CONSTABLE, AND BURGLARY. at . the —Esther Coleman, a ge d 14 , White Swan public-house, Katc-street, Spital- House, on fields, was charged with having in her possession residing an ivory ornament, stolen from the dwelling-house of Charles Newton , Mg., Harrieghay the 3d September, at Hornsey.. Police- sergeant Thomas Harris,.7 H, said—F rom information I rece i ve d, I went this morning about two o'clock to the White Sean public-house, k ept by the prisoner's mother. When I saw the pri soner I asked her where the ornament was that was like an egg. She replied 1 have no ornament. I said, " Yes, you have, you had better go and ge t IL I was b e hi n d the b ar with the prisone r , an d she th en we nt to a drawer inside the bar, and took out the ivory bo% produced, and gave it to me. I said, " Who did you receive it from ?" She said she did not 'wow) but it Was from a man. She afterwards said she received it from a man of the name of Bell (the man who is committed from this court for the attempted murder of the constable, and the burglary, in the name of Green), who is in custody. I then took her to the police-station. I also apprehended a man at the same public-house for being concerned in the same robbery, and also for the burglary at Burnette's, the rectifiers, at Enfield Chase. That man was taken to the Spital square police-station, and placed in custody in the reserve room, but through some negligence he con trived to make his escape. The prisoner said she did not tell the sergeant that the man was under remand, for the first she knew of it was reading the account in the news papers. The man in custody had been a lodger in her mother's house for about three weeks, and he gave her the toy on Thursday. Police -constable Kenwood, 194 H, said—As I was riding in the cab with the prisoner to the po lice-station, she said, " I will tell you the truth. The man you took into custody, but who has made his escape, first had the ornament and wanted to give it to another little girl, but Bell said no, I shall not give it to her. ; I shall give it to Esther." I I said, " What Bell do you mean ?" She said, " The man that is in custody and is remanded. There are other peope who know more about it than I do. There is a girl that has pledged some silk." Sarah Ann Dickson identified the property pro duced as her mistress's, and said it was stolen on the night of the 2d inst. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner until Thurs day, next, and agreed to take bail, two sureties in the sum of £lO each. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT AND ROBBERY OF PRECIOUS STONES BY A SERVANT.—CharIes Norton, described as a clerk, was charged with embezzling several sums of money received by him for and on account of his employers, Messrs. S. Ochs, im - porters of foreign stones, 83, Hatton-garden. He was further charged with steaiing some cameos and precious stones, also the property of his masters. The complainant stated that the prisoner had been in his service as clerk between six and seven years. He decamped on Saturday the 23d August, and he did not see him again until this•week,when he saw him at Ryde, Isle of Wight. When he had gone he missed some property, and found that the prisoner had embezzled some money. From what he heard he went to Ryde, and at No. 2, Colonade square, saw the prisoner in the shop. He went in and gave the prisoner into custody. He found in the shop some cameos and enamels which were his property. The property the prisoner had stolen was worth about £2OO. Police sergeant Wooton, 401 A, said that from information he received he went to Ryde, and found the prisoner there. He said to the prisoner" Your name is Norton," and he made no reply. He then charged him with embezzling money, and also with stealing a quantity of his masters' goods. He told him the amount he was charged with embezzling, and the prisoner said it was not so much. The pri soner afterwards told him that almost all the things in the shop belonged to the prosecutor. He seized and brought to London about £3OO worth of the property. When he took the prisoner into custody he found on him a bottle of poison which the pri soned tried to take but was prevented. He took the prisoner into custody on Wednesday, and the pri soner, who says he wishes to die, had not taken food since. He wishes for a remand, to enable him to produce the necessary witnesses. The prisoner, who appeared in a weak, dejected state, said he did not wish to ask the witnesses any questions or to make any defence at present. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner until Wed nesday next. COMMITTAL OF A SHAM POLICEMAN FOR OBTAIN ING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—Evan Dowell, a waiter out of employ, residing at 7, Berk ley.court, Berkley-street, Clerkenwell, was charged with feloniously representing himself to be a con stable of the Metropolitan Police, and also with obtaining 2s. from Mrs. Donovan, the wife of a bricklayer of Peter's-lane, St. John-street, Smith field. Mr. John Wakeling appeared for the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that about six weeks since she had a silk dress stolen from her apartment, and gave information of her loss at the Bagnigge-wells Police station. She then went into a publichouse, and meeting a friend, told her over a drop of gin what she had done. The prisoner, who was standing near, overheard the con versation, and said, "I am a detective. You have gone to the wrong police station. You should have gone to Old-street, to which I am attached ; but never mind, I will take a description of your dross, and do my best to get it for you. She gave him a description and some beer, and he went away. A few days afterwards he came to her, and said that he had found that her dress was pawned in the Blackfriars-road, but that he was so ill that he must ride there, and asked for and obtained 2s. from her for that purpose. He told her that she must go with him to identify the dress; but when she was in the street he said "your husband might as well come with us; go and fetch him." She went back for that purpose, and then the prisoner decamped. When the prisoner was in custody he gave the pro secutrix the 2s. back, and asked her not to prose cute. Police-contable Fowell, 425 A, said the prisoner had before been in custody and sentenced to six months' hard labour for a similar offence. _ Mr. Wakeling said he hoped the magistrate would deal with this case under the Police Act, and not put the county to expense by sending the, pri soner for trial. The magistrate said it was a serious charge, and fully committed the prisoner to the Middlesex Sea sions for trial. MARYLEBONE.—ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A WIFE AT PADDINGTON.—ILLNESS OF THE PRI.. SONER.—Saturday morning was fixed for the re examination of the man John Barkley, for the attempted murder of his wife, Eliza Barkley, in Stanley-street, Paddington-street, by shooting her with a pistol. A crowd collected round the court to see the prisoner brought up in the van, but they were doomed to disappointment, as Mr. Freeman, the sergeant of the van, placed in the hands of Mr. Yardley the following certificate : " House of Detention, Clerkenwell, E.C., Sept. 12.—1 certify that John Barkley is suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism, and is unfit to leave this prison at present. " W. SMILES, M,D." Mr. Yardley ordered another remand. The injured woman is not yet considered out of danger, on account of the close proximity of the wound to the lungs. AN AREA SNEAK.—DESPERATE ENCOUNTER, WITH A POLICEMAN. —James Algar, a tall, power ful fellow, aged 30, described as a gas-fitter, but who refused to state where he lived, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Yardley, charged under the fol lowing circumstances : Perry, 217 D, deposed that he was taking charge of a house in Connaught-square, and that on the same morning, at eleven o'clock, he saw the pri soner and another man go down several areas, and afterwards make their egress. He watched them down Porchester-place, when the prisoner went down another area, his companion remaining outside at the time. Upon seeing him (witness) they both ran off, when he (witness) pursued them, and after a long race the prisoner was taken into custody, when he gave witness a tremendous blow on the chest. A struggle hereupon ensued, and prisoner seizing hold of witness by the throat, threw him with great force to the ground. The other man effected his escape. At one of the houses where they were perceived in the area they made the excuse that they had come to buy bottles. At the station-house prisoner was searched, and in his possession were found three skeleton keys. Mr. Yardley asked if prisoner was known. The officer said he was not prepared at present to show that he had ever been in custody before, but had no doubt that on another day it Would be shown that he was a well-practised thief. Prisoner was remanded for inquiries to be made about him. LAMBETH.--RAILWAY STATION ROBBERIES. —John Wallace, a young fellow, who refused to give any account of himself beyond saying that he had just come from Manchester to see the Exhibi tion, was plaeed in the dock before Mr. Elliott on a charge o f picking the pocket of Mi ss Eli za b et h Anna T a ylor, of Myddelton-road, D a l s t on , on t h e platform of the down trains at the Waterloo Sta tion, of her purse, containing about 7s. in silver and two return railway tickets. From the evidence it appeared that the young lady accompanied by her father, went to the Water loo Station to see a friend off by the mail train to Southampton, and just us the train was in motion she found the prisoner's hand in her pocket. She at once charged him with having her purse, upon which he walked away, and the lady having told her father of the robbery, he followed him. The prisoner being thus pursued, started through the engine -shed, and jumped from a turntable 15 feet high, but was overtaken by Franklin, one of the railway officials, who had a struggle with him extending twenty-seven yards, during which Franklin oaw the purse in his :left hand. While this struggle continued the prisoner said, " It is not me, it is my brother, who has gone that way," and at the same moment he flung th e pur6o into Mr. Gammon's stone-yard, where it was sub sequently found. Mr. Bent, who attended from the railway to pro secute the case, said that on the night before the pri soner's excuse for being at the station Was that he had been to see his brother off by the Exeter mail, but, unfortutLatelY ..... for him, the re was rto Exeter mail started frb.m there; and in Ihis fliglif. „ from de tention it was aln.lost a miracle b.c was not dashed to pieces.

SOUTHWARK.—DARIN Hlt - lIIWAY ROBBERY. —Eliza Gannon, a young woman t tbout 20 years of age, was brought before Mr. Combo charged with being concerned with others not in custody in steal ing a silver watch, worth £3, fron a the person of Henry Storhmann under the following daring cir cumstances : The prosecutor said he was a wis , iter at Covent garden Theatre, which he left about half-past 12. Between one and two in the morning he wa s proceed ing along the Borough-road on his way home, and when near the wall of the Queen's Prison he saw the prisoner and two other females standing in the road. He walked on one side with the view of avoid ing them, when the prisoner rushed upon him and snatched his watch from his waistcoat pocket and broke it off at the handle. He seized hold. of her to get it back, when two ruffianly fellows rushed upon him and struck him in the face so that he was com pelled to let her go, when they all ran away. Wit ness, however, pursued the prisoner, and saw her stopped by a constable, when he gave her into cus tody. Mr. Combe asked him if he was sober at the time. He replied that he was, as he had only just left the theatre. He had spoken to no one on his way home, and endeavoured all he could to avoid the prisoner and her rough companions. While he struggled with her one of the men snatched the watch from her and ran off. Alfred Wood, 171 M, said he was on duty in the Borough between one and two in the morning, when he heard cries of " Police" near the Queen's Prison. He proceeded in that direction, and met the prisoner running as fast as she could, followed by the pro secutor, calling out " Stop thief." He seized hold of her, when he charged her with stealing his watch. She was searched immediately, but nothing wad found on her. . The prisoner pleaded guilty,begging his worship to deal with her. Mr. Combe asked if she was known. The constable replied in the negative. The magistrate observed that it was a very daring robbery, and sentenced her to six months' hard labour.

Three forged £5 notes were paid in to Messrs. Moore and Robinson's bank in this town a few days ago ; and their character not being recognised they were paid over in the course of business to Messrs. Smith's bank, but the clerk in that establishment found that they were forged, and re turned them to Messrs. Moore and Robinson's, on whom the loss will fall, as they are unable to trace the person who paid them over to them. The notes are very good imitations. The chief defect in their appearance is in the printing, which is not executed in quite so workmanlike a manner as the genuine notes. It is also slightly narrower than in good ones.—Nottinglatm Journal. BIRTHS. BENTINCK.—On the 11th inst., at 50, Eaton-place, the wife of the Rev, Charles Cavendish Bentinck, of a daugh ter.
