The other day three students and a man cook were seized upon in the church and conducted to prison.

STEALING A GENTLEMAN'S VALUABLE GOLD WATCH AND CHAlN.—Minnie Holmes, a well-dressed female, who gave the address 22, Crown-court, Great Russell-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain of the value of 80, the property of Mr. Clarence Savage, of 8, Northumberland-street, Strand. On the case being called on, the prosecutor was not in attendance, and the constable, John Cook, 106 C, said he wished for a remand. Mr. Tyrwhitt said before he could grant a remand he must hear his (the officer's) statement. Cook then said, at half-past four this morning, from in formation he received, he apprehended the prisoner at a house in Earl's.court, Cranbourn-street. He told her she was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, of the value of £6O, from a gentleman named Savage. She said it served her right, as she had no business on that ground, and that it was her first night of being there. On the way to the station he asked the prisoner what she knew of the watch, and she said that she had not stolen it, but she knew who had it. lie (the .officer) had been to Mr. Savage's chambers and also to his residence, and he had left word that ha would be in town either that or the next day, and would attend. Prisoner said she told the officer that she would tell all about it when before Mr. Savage and the magistrate. She knew Mr. Savage well, but nothing of his watch. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her till Thursday. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH INABILITY TO OBTAIN ADMISSION TO AN HOSPITAL.—Edmund Parkins, a tall, miserable-looking man, who was obliged to be brought to the court in a cab, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by drowning himself in the Serpentine. A constable saw the prisoner in a state of nudity last night near the Serpentine, and on asking what he was going to do, he said "To commit suicide;" and, in answer to the questions, he said that he was in a state of destitu tion, and that his logs were very bad, that he could not get into any hospital, and that the latter circumstance had in duced him to attempt to take his life. The prisoner was taken care of at the receiving-house, and he was obliged to have a cab to bring him to the court as he was unable from the state of his legs to walk. • Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week, stating that he would be looked after by the authorities at the House of Detention. DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. Mr. Lawson and Mr. Potter, the members for Carlisle, were present at the annual fish dinner to the Mayor of Carlisle, on Friday last, at King Garth. In responding to the toast of "The health of the city members," Mr. LAWSON said he was afraid not much had been done for the public good in the late session. Lord Palmerston had told the people at Dover that the session was quite remarkable for the number of public benefits enacted, but with that tact for which he was celebrated, the noble , lord had taken good care not to enumerate them. (Laughter) Afte referring to some of the measures which had been before Parliament, Mr. Lawson alluded to the prevailing distress. He said : We feel that distress in Carlisle, though I do not know that it is yet so bad as in some parts of Lancashire; but I know it is very great. It behoves us all to do what we can for the relief of that distress; but I don't know that much can be done in the way of legislation. A bill has been passed to meet the difficulty, and I trust it will have the intended effect. The cause of that distr ss we all know, is the sad state of affairs in America. What are the causes of that war ? that fratracidal war, or who is to blame are not topics on which we can properly descant at present. There are different opinions on the subject—some think one right and some think the other right, and we can hardly dis cuss it without becoming partisans. I can only say that I saw with very deep regret the speech made by an hon. member of the House of Commons a short time since in which he said he positively rejoiced at the war in Ame rica. I did not think such a sentiment could be uttered by any Englishman. (Cheers.) lam sure I only utter the sentiment of every one here when I say that we deeply grieve at that state of things, and hope and trust it may soon be brought to a termination, so that peace may reign again on the other side of the Atlantic, and our own suffer ing population may again have a return of prosperity. Mr. POTTER, M.P., in referring to the distress, said—l was honoured with a petition from the city of Carlisle, praying that the Poor-law measure should be one borne by the whole country. I venture to think that that prayer was a right one, and 1 did what I could to support it in the Huse of Commons ; however, the Legislature thought dif ferent, and willed that the districts themselves should bear the brunt of the pressure. Now I think that, remembering that the affliction under which they are suffering is brought about by almost a political measure, that is, the disturbance in America, it ought hardly to fall on the cotton districts themselves. However, the pressure is a very severe one; and although I am afraid it is introducing a very gloomy subject it is one we are only on the verge of, and which I look upon with a strong feeling of fear. When I remember the large number dependent on that industry, when I remem ber the class of men who are now suffering, and remem, ber that under no circumstances for the next six or eight months can we obtain a supply of cotton which will be the means of reducing the distress, the prospect is very fearful. (Hear.) But all classes—both the wealthy and the working classes—will go through the severe trial in a manner worthy of the people who are suffering under it. (Cheers.) When we look back and see the improvement made in the physical condition of the working classes of this country in the last 30 years, and when. we remember that improvement is not less in their moral and intellectual education we must deeply re gret that a class of people of that standing should be placed in a state of suffering in which they are now labouring, However, not to dwell on a subject of that kind, we may hope that after a few months, if we can wear through, it will be ultimately the better for the country; we shall feel our- selves more independent, and I think we shall come to a state of prosperity again, and after that we shall have no reason to regret the very severe pressure now upon us.

RAILWAY BRIDGE AT WALWORTIL—A few days ago the Newington vestry showed a disposition to interdict the Chatham and Dover Railway in respect to the bridge over the Walworth-road. The discussion on the subject was resumed last Wednesday, end after a full debate of several hours a division was called for, when the numbers were for proceeding with the injunction 19 against 34 ; so that the company may lower the path or otherwise as they please. A BRAVE AND HEROIC ACT.—Some workmen in the employ of Mr. Wm. Davis, the mayor of Haverford west, have been sinking a well in a field in Shut-street lane. On finishing their work last Friday, they had sunk to about 33 feet, and there was at the time about seven or eight feet of water. The same evening a girl, about ten years of age, named Hannah Evans, daughter of a widow woman residing in Shut-street, fell into it. The shrieks of her companions alarmed George Evans, a mason, who resides in one of the houses abutting on the fi, Id. Seeing no help near he ran back to his house, and quickly returned with a thin rope, hardly strong enough to hold the weight of a heavy man. One end of this he rapidly hitched round a log of wood near the mouth of the well, and throwing the other end down to the water, the brave fellow, without any hesitation, commenced his descent. The poor child, however, had sunk before ho reached the water, and h e was consequently obliged to dive to the bottom, about seven or eight ket, After a while he found her and rose with her to the surface, but his own strength was nearly exhausted, A number of men had by this time arrived, and they with more seal than knowledge began to haul up the rope rapidly. The consequence was that Evans was jerked about fearfully, and his hands terribly mangled with the rope. He, however, held on, and pre sently he and the little girl whom he had rescued were safe. Evans will be unable to work for weeks to come, and the case is one in which assistance is richly deserved. —ll7th/onan. 40 3.1 xall xd 221 1 661 1 1081 621 119 xd4 43 98 I 5,1 1001 pit xd 81 130 i 94 d 86 51 xd 141 zd 101 150 xd 101 1 101 xd -year not to be Lt halt. year. SOUTHWARK. A BAD FATHER.—EIIen Coglan, a prostitute, was charged with assaulting her father, David Coglan, by striking him with a half-pint cup. The complainant, whose face was bound up, stated that the previous evening he, his wife, and two other women, with the prisoner, were together, and on one of the party bringing in some beer, the latter, without any provocation, took up the cup and flung it in his face. He was in his own house at the time, No. 4, George-yard, Redcross-street. The prisoner, in her defence, said that her father struck her first, and that he cut her finger with a knife. He de serted his wife and family, wile were let without any sup port, and he married the woman whit' passed as his wife for about 11 years. Her mother died only a fortnight ago ; and in addition to striking her, he spoke of her in bad ' terms. The statement of the complainant was corroborated by a sister of the woman with whom he was cohabiting. Mr. Burcham said there was nu duubt the complainant was a very bad man, and that it was owing perhaps to his misconduct that the prisoner was reduced to a life of pros titution, but he recommended her not to go to his place again. Remanded until Tuesday next. WESTMINSTER. A DISGRACEFUL FELLOW.—George Harry, a dirty looking fellow, was charged with wilful damage, under the following circumstances :-- John James Temple, a broker, residing at 19, North street, said that at half-past two o'clock this morning he was awoke and was told a man was in his back-yard destroying his property. Complainant got up, and saw the defendant on the top of his washhcuse. A fence separating this yard and the next was all broken down, and all the tiles were broken in his endeavour to get into a back room. He was drunk. In answer to questions from the magistrates, complainant said the cause of defendant's coining there was that his wife lodged in the house. He was a most disreputable fellow, and had been away from her three months without contributing one farthing towards her support, and on the Ist of Aptil he had been bound over to keep the peace toward her for six months, owing to his violence. His wife was a most industrious respectable woman, with a large family, and complainant had consented to allow her to lodge there, but had dirtinctly said he would not have such a per son in his house as the accused. He had seen the defend ant the night before the above damage was committed,when he had threatened to come and break the house to pieces, to which observation complainant replied that he had nothing to do with defendant's quarrels, but would not have him in his holise. A witness having been called to prove that the damage, estimated at £2, was done by the defendant, and who addcd that he was a most afsgraceiul fellow, a terror to everyone, Defendant declared he was only trying to got to his home, and that his children had disgracefully assaulted him. Mr. Dayman said that would not justify him in what he had done. He had no right 10 go to Mr. Temple's house, he should send him to prison for a month in default of pay ing the amount of damage and 2s. 6d. fine. He was locked up. SKETCH OF MR. BOUPELL. Mr. Roupell has been sketched from memory as follows, by an observer who used to notice him from the ladies' gallery of the house:—" Mr. Roupell was well known in the house, not from his standing therein, or any influence which he possessed, but rather as a young man representing a large consti tuency, which from its magnitude is supposed to be beyond the reach of corruption, and which never theless cost Mr. Roupell upwards of £9,000, when he sought the privilege of representing it. Up to March last Mr. Roupell was looked upon in the house as one of the wealthy commoners of England. A domain in the immediate neighbourhood of the metropolis bore his name, and Roupell-park had only to be mentioned in the southern districts of the metropolis to conjure up, in the mind of the hearer, visions of vast wealth and territorial power. When Mr. Roupell was elected, he drove round the chief streets of Lambeth at the bead of a length ened cortege, which looked like the procession of a conqueror, as indeed it was. Mr. Roupell was at that time regarded as the man of gold of Lambeth, and when he rode in triumph round the borough, with his mother seated in the carriage beside him, there were few who looked upon him who did not feel something akin to envy at the brilliant destiny to which, apparently, he had been called. We well recollect the first appearance of Mr. Roupell in the House of Commons. In the way of oratory or statesmanship nothing was ever expected of him, and therefore no one was disappointed at his legis lative career. He could, however, speak not only with fluency, but with appropriate taste. We heard his first speech in the House of Commons and we heard his last; and the last, too, that he can ever made in any assembly of the kind, whatever may be his future destiny. Although Mr. Roupell entered the legislature so triumph antly, yet his Parliamentary career was beset with thorns from the very commencement. He had not been in the house many weeks before the omi nous threats of a petition was heard, and it was speedily carried out. His election was petitioned against on the ground of corruption, and a length ened investigation took place. Before the com mittee appointed to try the merits of the petition Mr. Roupell was himself examined at great length, and we remember that in the course of that exami nation he was asked a question and gave an answer which are worth recalling as a kind of commentary upon the proceedings of the past week. He was closely questioned with regard to his payments on account of the public-houses, and as to some alleged underhand proposition that bad been made to him, which he repudiated. The examining counsel then put this question to him :—' Suppose such a pro position had been made to you, what course would you have adopted with regard to it ?' And the an swer of Mr. Roupell was this : 'Catty man were to make such a proposition to me, or to make any kind of dishonourable proposition, I would knock him down.' It is believed that the apparent frankness of that answer greatly influenced tbr committee in their decision, and they declared Mr. Roupell duly elected. And yet at that very moment he was raising money upon deeds that be had himself forged, upon spurious documents which he himself had concocted, and upon a fictitious will which he had manufactured almost in the presence of his dead father's body. And who could ever have enter tained a suspicion of these things fame an observa tion of the man in the House of Commons ? No body. He looked like a frank gentleman ; but it is now unhappily demonstrated that he vas dissimu lation itself. He was rather short in Stature; had an open, ingenuous countenance, which was adorned with a profusion of light beard, and et a distance he presented a strong personal resemblance to the late Mr. Albert Smith." THE CAPP MAZZS. VIGO, AUG. 26. The Cambrian, from th e Cape of Good Hope, put into this port yesterday for coals, and left this morning for Plymouth, where she is expected to arrive with the Cape mails on Thursday night. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. The following is the text of the Note addressed by Count Rechberg to Count Karolyi, relative to the recognition of Italy by Prussia: — "VIENNA, JULY 26, 1862, " Monsieur le Comte, —I begged Baron de Werther when he read to me a despatch charging him to inform the Impe ial Cabinet of the recogni tion of the Neo-Italian Kingdom by Prussia to leave the documents connected therewith in my hands that I might place them before the Emperor. After referring to Berlin, Baron von Werther was authorised by his Court to grant that request, and consequently I was able to submit the correspondence to our most gracious Sovereign His Majesty charges you in consequence by these presents to bring to the knowledge of his Majesty the King of Prussia how much the Emperor Francis Joseph thanks the King for the resistance which he had hitherto opposed to the entreaties which were made to him to recognise what is called the Kingdom of Italy, and how much it is the sincere desire of the Emperor that Prussia may never have to regret, in her own interests, the resolution which she hes nevertheless just taken to recognise the success of fhe most violent revolution and flagrant violation of right and treaties. Your Excellency can accomplish this mission of the Emperor through the kind intermedium of Count de Bernstorff, which you can solicit for that purpose. Moreover, your Excellency certainly does not expect us to lose one word respecting the pretended guarantees' which Prussia has notified, and of the frank assurances' she has received at Turin. We think that these guaran tees' and ' frank assurances' are not worth the paper upon which they are written. We even believe that on this point General Durando is precisely of our opinion. --I am, &c., RECHBERG." The Stern Zeitung p u bli shes the Prassian reply to the above, It is as follows : "BERLIN, July 31. " Monsieur le Baron,—Count Karolyi, whom I have not been able to see recently, owing to the debates in the Cham bers, has handed the annexed despatch to Privy Councillor Sydow, being a reply to our confidential communication on the question of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy. We thought we were not only fulfilling a federal duty to wards Germany, but were especially showing consideration and Federal friendship towards Austria, by requesting from the Turin Government as a preliminary condition of our recognition, certain guarantees and assurances, the import ance of which we certainly do not wish to exaggerate, but which, nevertheless, when examined without prejudice, are notlwithout value, and when, on the other hand, which is far more important than all Italian assurances, we have as sumed towards the new Kingdom of Italy and its eventual pretensions a most determined position by no means agree able to the Turin Cabinet, and which other European Cabi nets have appreciated in its full signification. " If now the Austrian Minister of Foreign Aff a i rs passes over this last circumstance in complet e s il ence, and main tains that the first mentioned stipulations are not worth the Paper upon which they are written, we truly do not share the belief expressed at the same time on this point that General Durando shares exactly the opinion of the Austrian Minister ; but at all events, from this reception of our amical communication, we have acquired the instructive experience that in future we shall be dispensed from all similar considerations of Austrian interests unless they come within the limits of oar Federal duties. I authorize your Excellency to communicate the present to Count Rechberg in reply to his despatch of the 26th inst. " I am, &c., Count de BERNSTORIT. THE HOP 7RADE. _ - A public meeting of the hop growers of Kent and Sussex was held yesterday afternoon at the Bridge house Hotel, for the purpose of conferring with the trade in the borough of Southwark respecting the present method of weighing hops, with a view to coming to some arrangement as to the principle to be adopted in future, and also for the purpose of considering the question of the validity of the pre sent system of contract notes which pass between :the factors and the merchants. Mr. J. H. Hod- Jaen occupied the chair. Mr_ G. TURNER moved 11 resolution declaring that it was the opinion of the meeting that the pre sent method of weighing hops, as practised in the Borough, is most unsatisfactory, and that it was advisable that a customary allowance should be agreed upon and established as - a fair allowance to be made by the seller to the buyer upon the sale of hops for the cloth in which ti.ey are packed; that holm a 12 "" - `"" ""a)d v. , weighed ciwoo, Qua tc duction of albs. made upon each pocket. Mr. BURY, in seconding the motion, said he con sidered the proposition a most fair one, and hoped it would be cordially adopted. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, observed that the resolution was not intended to apply to hops weighed after Christmas. After some discussion, it was agreed, on the suggestion of Mr. WOOLSTON, that on all future occasions the new clear hops ought to be weighed close, and words to that effect were added to the resolution. Mr. HEWETT was of opinion that the proposition would not meet the assent of the trade, though he did not state that on any specific authority. If the system of tare was to be meddled with at all it should be placed o❑ the full principle of free trade, just as in the case of foreign hops. Mr. PUNNETT denied that the case of foreign hops af f orded any analogy in the case. There could be no doubt that the present system inflicted a very great grievance upon the trade. The resolution was then put and agreed to, there being only five dissentients. O❑ the motion of Mr. Eivy, seconded by Mr. T. Hayes, it was resolved that the planters assembled at the meeting, believing that the resoluti3n just passed contains a fair and equitable promise, will, as far as in them lies, carry the same into effect, and endeavour to induce all the other planters to do the same. Mr. PUNNETT then addressed the meeting on the subject of the validity of the contracts between the merchants and growers, and moved a resolution to the effect that it was desirable that in all future cases the contract note should be received by both parties, the seller being enabled to demand of the buyer the names on the contract note, and the terms on which the hops were sold, so that in case of any dispute arising it might be settled by an appeal to the courts of law. Mr. WOOSTON thought that such a resolution was wholly unnecessary—that the trade, like the great produce market trade in Mincing-lane, was conducted on honourable principles ; and they had in Southwark a body of men whose word was their bond. If the resolution was good at all it could be good only against the miserable trick sters, who could be better dealt with in other ways. Mr. PUNNETT replied that in Mincing-lane transactions the broker's book could be produced in evidence, which was not the case in respect to the contract notes of hop factors. After some discussion the resolution was adopted, and a committee of planters was appointed to con er with the hop merchants in order to carry out he proposed alterations. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The wife of the deceas ed went to purchase a pennyworth of salts and a pennyworth of senna at a chemist's shop in the neighbourhood. Instead of the right medicine, it is stated that a packet of salts and oxalic acid was served by the as sistant. On returning the wife proceeded to make " Berms' tea" for her husband. On , opening the package she said — "He has given m e all salts, ' upon which shereturned to the shop to get the Benne, but the shop was closed. Upon her return , previous to his going to bed , the husband Sala he would take the salts, upon which she opened the smallest of the packages and gave it to him. After he had swallowed it he complained of a burning sensation in th© throat, ands frota the alarming symptoms, medical aid was called in, and Mr. Bryant, of Laystall-street, and Jr. Day, of James' street, were found to be dead. The assistant, we are informed, has been taken into custody to await the reettlt of the post mortem es* promptly is attendance. The poor man wet eknainatiQu mad iuqUest. I 85, 6 102 f 241 31
