SIR,—As the plan I suggested for stopping the rush of water over the fens appeared in your valuable paper about f.our weeks ago, I am induced again to trespass upon your columns, as the coffer dam has burst from the cause I strongly urged upon the engineers, viz., that if they placed reliance upon throwing thousands of bags of earth into the drain on the upper side of the dam, they would be washed away from the scour and the treacherous nature of the soil into which the piles were driven. June 13, 1862. Your obedient servant, J. MACINTOSH. I now beg again that my mode for stopping the tidal vabYrs may be duly considered, and which consists in sprealing on the upper side of the dam a sheet of strong naval canvas, which can be made in sections, and laced together to any size, the outer end to be secured to the bottom by iron weights, and the end next the dam to . be raised above the water and secured to the piles. To give the dam greater stability I would secure the ends of hawsers ?r chains to the top or bottom of the piles ; the other ends of the hawsers or chains to be taken ashore and secured to the banks by anchors or other holdfasts, and the chains or hawsers to be tightened by block and tackle. This plan need not cause any delay or much expense, nor interfere with th e wor k already begun, but greatly facilitate it, as scouring is effe c t ua ll y prevented the dam is rendered watertight, and h e ld securely in position. As materials for the alma plan, together with a staff of riggers, can be had at once, the dam could be rendered most efficient In a very short time. DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH A BURGLAR. Last I night, Detective Police Sergeant Seal, of Birmingham, who was accompanied by two Manchester detectives— Sergeant Watson and Inspector Taylor—went to Edwards's beerhou se , Hanover-street, Shudehill, a well-known resort of thieves, in search of a noted Birmingham burglar, named Joseph Alexander, who was suspected of having broken into a draper's shop in t he Bull Ring, Birmingham, on Monday night, and stolen property to the amount of £2OO. Alexander was found drinking in the beerhouso but the moment he saw Seal h e caught hold of a heavy poker, and made a desperate resistance, being assisted by his companions. Watson was severely injured about the head and body, and Seal's light arm was dis abled in the struggle. Seal, however, succeeded in giving the burglar a blow with a pair of handcuffs, which stunned him; and with the timely assistance of some constables of the A division he was at length secured, and conveyed to a cab. He was then taken to the Infirmary, where the wounds on his head were attended to ; but ho remained for a long time in a state of apparent insensibility, and it was found to be impracticable to remove him last night. During the struggle Alexander threw away a watch which he had in his possession, but the works, having fallen out, were se cured by Seal.—Manchester Guardian. The command of the Hogue at Greenock will be vacant on the 4th of July in consequence of Captain R. J. J. G. Maedonald's time ceasing on that date ; and we hear that Captain Arthur Farquhar (1549), who was the efficient Captain of the Hannibal during a great portion of the time that Rear -Admiral G. Rodney Mundy's flag was flying in that ship, will succeed to the vacancy.—. Army and Navy Gazette. FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE.—On Thursday morning a wan named Ja mes Davenport, a book-keeper i n M r . Buckley's print-work s , at Burnley, committed self •destruo tion by placing his he a d under a train at the Norwich an d Blackrod Railway Station, on the Lancashire and York shire Railway. He deliberately took uff his hat and laid his head under the wheels, and when taken up was quite dead. What has been the cause of this sad affair is at present uukuown, Deceased LIM left a wife and family, SHARE MARKET---THIS DAY.

The marriage took plae on the 10th of November in the year 1845, after which hey resided together at Chelsea until 1848, when she desrted her husband, although up to the time of her leaving lam they had lived on very affec tionate terms. She will() reside in Ebury-street, taking with her her infant child In 1852 a reoalciliation took place, and they resided tigether until the year 1860, when she again deserted her heisand, and was found cohabiting with another person alled to be the co-respondent, at 63, Sydney-street, Chelsea, hey having taken apartments in the name of Speed. Evidence of the marriap and adultery having been given, The Court thought tb) leading counsel had failed to identify the co-responden, and also that there was addi tional evidence required is to the marriage. A witness named Spaldng fixed the date of the marriage. The Judge Ordinary mid the evidence was not sufficient to identify the co-respondent, therefore the decree nisi for a dissolution must be talen against the wife only, and it must be borne in mind tint the marriage dissolved was that fixed by the witness. If it should turn out that the date Was wrong the marriage would not be dissolved. TOPHAX Y. TOPRAM. This was a petition pmented by the wife against the husband, praying for divorce on the ground of cruelty, adultery, and desertion. The parties were married in 1851, and after this resided h High-street, Gravesend. The respondent neither appeared nor answered the petition. Mrs.MaryAnn Foster, the sister of the petitioner, proved the marriage, after whim the parties lived in the High street, Gravesend. Her husband used to treat her very unkindly after marriage. In September, 1852, she heard him threaten to take her life, but before that she saw him strike her a violent blov with a stick at the railway station. He ceased to reside with his wife in October, 1852. ;Mrs. Emma Tophatn, the petitioner, said—l am the petitioner in this cause. After marriage I resided with my husband in 11; 6 1.-.t., , t, W afterwp-An to live at Northfleet, where we remained until 1852. At that period he took a situation, since which he has not lived with me. He went to sea in 1855 as a butcher. While living in High-street my husband was in the habit of getting drunk and illusing me. On one occasion he struck me at the railway station. I have lived with my father at Noithfleet since my husband has been away. By the Judge Ordinary—ln addition to striking me at the railway station, about a month before he mune home drunk and threw me across the room. His father used to assist us while we lived at Northfleet. I could not go with him when he went into his situation, as he had to reside in the house. After this he went into the service of Mr, Levy, but in 1855 he went to sea. I have met my husband acci dentally in Gravesend since he left, but he never came to Northfleet to see either me or his child. My husband was imprisoned for 21 days, in consequence of the disturbance he made when he threatened my life ; but after that he resided with me. In 1855 he went on board ship to India, and I have only seen him once since, and then it was by accident. Mrs. Lamb, of Stone-street, Gravesend, said the respon dent came to live in her house. He brought a lady with him, but it was not the person who has just given her evidence. Decree nisi, with costs. rn POLICt---TITIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OLD THIEF AND HER PuriL.—Ann Miles and Emily Lester, two well dressed females, the former living in Gardener's-lane, Westminster, and the latter in Stam ford-street, Waterloo-road, were charged with attempting to steal a watch in the Haymarket. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, a little after 12 the previous night, when the Haymarket was pretty full of persons, in conse quence of the theatres being just over, saw the prisoners pushing among a crowd of gentlemen, and saw Miles take a watch out of a gentleman's pocket. The gentleman seized his watch, and pushed the prisoner away, Lester being all the time close to her. While he (Joy) was trying to get to the gentleman the prisoners went up the Haymarket, and on his going after them he heard Miles say " Oh, here comes Joy!' fie knew Miles as an old offender, but knew nothing of Lester. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ad dressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoners, stating that there was no case against Lester. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand Miles, but discharge Lester. He had no doubt that Lester was in training by the other prisoner to become an accomplished thief, and she had better be careful, as she might not be so fortunate another time. IMiles wished to address the magistrate, but Mr. Tyrwhitt said she had better be quiet, as she had been well defended. TH AMES. LEADING A CAT AND DOG LITE,--SINGULAR PIIOCEED INGS.-Mr. Edward Fulcher, sanitary inspector and inspec tor of nuisances to the Poplar Board of IV orks, applied to Mr. Solfe for an order to compel Richard Nicholls, an elderly man, to permit the removal of an abominable nuisance. The case has been repeatedly before the magistrate. The defendant is the occupier of a delapidata and filthy wooden tenement, containing one room and a small back kitchen at 1, Legg's-buildings, Bow common, and upon Dr. Ans ell : the medical officer of the district, and Mr. Fulcher visiting the place they found a great number of cats and dogs in the only room of the building, and which was the defendant's sleeping apartment, parlour, kitchen, and all. The animals —." n+..l +b .Al „s i n was most intolerable and sickening. Both gentlemen beat a hasty retreat, amidst the yelping and barking of curs, and the discordant chorus of cats. Mr. Angell had duly certified that the premises were in a filthy and unwholesome condition, and injurious to the health of the inhabitants, who had loudly complained of the nuisance. Mr. Fulcher, a useful medical officer, was of the same opinion, and would not answer for the consequences, if the place was not speedily cleansed, whitewashed, puri- fled, and repaired. Mr. Selfe asked what the defendant vas about, and if he kept cats and dogs for his own amusement ? Mr. Fulcher shook his head mysteriously. He believed the defendant was a dealer in cats and dogs for the He did not finish the sentence. Mr. James Davis, son of the owner of the tenement, said the defendant rented the tenement for 2s'. 6d. per week, and owed £6 for rent. The defendant would not give up pos session, or allow him to carry out the Magistrate's order to remove the abominable nuisance. There were generally three or four ferocious dogs at the door. It was sickening to approach the premises to windward. Mr. Selfe said the defendant must not lead such a cat and-dog life any longer. He made the order applied for, and told the defendant, if he did not allow it to be carried out, he would be liable to a penalty of £5 per day while the nuisance continued. A BRACE OF THIEVES.—EIiza Keates, a servant, aged 20, and Jane Mitchell, a needlewoman, 37, were charged with stealing £4 16s. 6d., the monies of Mrs. Mary Ann Hodsall. The prosecutrix is dwelling at No. 18, Wel'close square, Keates had been in Mrs. Hodsall's service for 12 or 13 weeks, and Mitchell had been occasionally employed there as needlewoman. Mrs. Hodsall had £4 16s. 6d. in cash in her possession, which was deposited in a handker chief under her bed between the bed and the mattress. The servant Keates dinovered the secret hoard of her mistress, and helped herself to it. She divided the plunder with the other prisoner, and both redeemed articles in pawn, pur chased new clothes and a crinoline each, and also paid a visit to sundry gin palaces, and indulged in copious liba tions of " Old Tom," and " Real Jamaica." When Mrs. Hod sall discovered the loss of her money she communicated with. the police and two intelligent constables, named Turner, 64 H, and Chandler, 117 H, were soon upon the track of the prisoners, took them into custody, and discovered how they had expended the stolen money. Keates said that Mrs. Mitchell persuaded her to steal the money, and that she had very little of it. She afterwards told the officers that she took Mrs. Hodsall's money from under the bed and laid it on the table, and Mrs. Mitchell took it off the table. The prisoner Mitchell recriminated, and said she had nothing to do with stealing the money, and only received half of it from Keates. The prisoners criminated each other in the dock. "You know you persuaded me to take the money," exclaimed Keates. " Oh, you story-teller," replied the other. " You gave me the money, and said you stole it from under the led." A good deal of property and two crinolines purchased by the two women were produced, and they were remanded until Wednesday next. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. SPORTING-THIS D.Y. LATEST CITY BETTING. Some important variations took place to-day. The most noticeable being that awarded to Croagh Patrick for the Royal Hunt Cup, who was freely supported at 12 to 1. Lopeatcher was next in demand, and 20 to 1 was freely taken. For the Ascot Stakes Canary seems to have passed a bad right, as there were numerous offers of 8 to 1. Schism had plenty of friends at 7to 1. Boabdil was backed for a small amount at 10 to 1. There was not much doing on the Ascot Cup. Asteroid still maintains his pride of place as first favourite, and 6 to 4 was with difficulty obtained. Carbineer has improved his position a little, 7to 2 being taken. Zetland looks rather fishy, but Caller Ou, the winner of last year's Lego., seem to have a coming appearance. There was no alte ration in the prices for the f or thcoming St Leger.

Their lordships were occupied the whole of the sitting of the court in hearing enlarged rule causes. The case of Kennedy v. Brown and wife did not come on to-day. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder and a Jury.) IMPORTANT TO THE PRINTING TR/QR.-WILSON BELDING. This was an action to recover the balance of an account for printing, publishing, and advertising a certain pamphlet entitled, "Do we want a record of the Exhitition." Mr. Wills was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Howard for defendant. Mr. Wills, in opening the case, stated that his client was the well-known Effingham Wilson, of the Royal Exchange; and defendant a clerk in an American commercial house in this country. The present claim was for work done, and he (the learned counsel) was at a loss to know what the defence could be. Mr. Harmer said that he told the defendant the cost for 500 copies would be £5 65. per sheet, with a reduction for a second edition. Mr. Wilson, sen., deposed that he had carte blanche in reference to the advertisements, and the prices charged were fair and reasonable.—Mr. Howard called for the papers in which the advertisements had been inserted, but Mr. Wil son said he had not brought them. He had never been asked on any previous occasion for newspapers. His Lordship pointed out that while he had no moral doubt that the advertisements were inserted, yet the jury must be satisfied. Mr. Wilson—l can swear that I inserted them. His Lordship—No doubt ; but the papers must be pro duced. Mr. Bailey, an advertising agent, proved that plaintiff's charges were fair and reasonable. Defendant then said that he had been charged too much. Cross-examined—l will not swear that Mr. Harmer did not say the charge would be £5 58. per sheet. His Lordship—That ends the case so far as the printing is concerned. A printer said the charge was excessive ; but his Lord ship in summing up said, that this was not a case in mhich what was a fair charge was the question. If the jury found that there was a specific agreement, plaintiff was entitled to a verdict for the printing. The jury immediately found for the plaintiff for the print ing account, observing that they were sorry they could not give him more, and that the case ought never to have been allowed to come here. THE BURIAL DISCLOSURES AT SHEFFIELD, This inquiry was resumed yesterday. Isaac Howard, the late sexton of St. Philip's burial ground, appeared before the magistrates to answer the charges against him, which, it will be remembered, were to the effect that he had disin terred bodies after burial, as alleged, for the pur pose of disposing of them for dissection. The first evidence gone into related to the case of a child named Edward Charles Shearman, which was interred in St. Philip's burial ground in Sep tember last. On the 4th instant, in consequence of reports, the parents went to the burial ground, and, at some distance from the child's grave, saw a hole or pit in which were a number of coffins lying in a heap, and among them the one in which their son had been buried, with the lid open, and a body in it which they were able to identify as that of their child. Another witness proved seeing several coffins in a stable belonging to Howard, and also seeing him there doing something to one of the bodies in the coffins, apparently as if he were cutting a leg off it with a carving knife. He had also been seen to bring coffins direct from the; grave to the stable, and afterwards to remove something in a barrow. An application was made to have the grave of the child Shearman opened, to see whether the body was there or not, and for this purpose a re mand was granted. MR. DISRAELI'S LEADERSHIP. A good tactician but a bad general, Mr. Disraeli understands everything but the art of victory. He can contest a borough, bring his party up to a divi sion in admirable order, and keep up their spirits under defeat by vague and magnificent hopes of coming success. But the Conservative reaction never gets farther than the hustings and the agri cultural dinners. The session comes round, with its lists pitched ; and, " o hh its whips, tellers, and division falling off' is there!" A battles, wa t a vast amount of cleverness is expended in winning a crushing defeat. The array of Ultra-montanes, high Protestants, discontented Whigs, splenetic Manchester men, and the solid files 'of squires and country members, melt away under a division, as the Scotch at Flodden, melting like snow before a south wind. If the returns at the Carlton of vic tories gained at the hustings are to be considered authentic —if the phrase "the Conservative reac tion" means anything at all , then why is it that Mr. Disraeli cannot carry the Treasury benches by storm ? The reason is, that all his tactics begin and end in finesse. According to all the rules of war the Austrian Generals ought to have gained the victory, and so Mr. Disraeli ought to put Lord Palmerston into a minority. There is nothing Air. Disraeli does not attend to except the one thing needful. He is as accomplished a linguist as Giuliai, w ho addressed his army in crossing the Ticino in six different languages. Mr. Disraeli hes a word of comfort for all his followers, an ingenious theory by which to reconcile their fighting under one flag. But the Protestant party have resolved to submit to this kind of leadership no longer. Like Hungary, they have stood up for independence, and the Conservative leader, like Francis Joseph, must pin broken , up.—'Dublin Un t : wit t y M a g azine. conc ili a te these stubborn Magyars, or see his em- SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

" —During the past eight-and-forty hours a heavy gale has blown here from south round to west. On Wednesday at 10 a.m. the barometer had fallen five and a half tenths dur ing the previous 24 hours, with the wind setting in strong from S.S.E. to S.S.W. In the next 24 hours the barometer fell another half-tenth, a strong gale blowing from S.S.W. to W.S.W., accompanied with fierce squalls and rain, the gale gathering strength as the day wore on. At 9 o'clock last evening the barometer had fallen to 29.32, which was the lowest point it reached. After this it began to rise, and at 10 a.m. to-day had reached 29.62. Now, at 7 p.m. it stands at 29.72 with the wind somewhat less violent. To-day, although the wind has been surpris ingly violent at times, considering the season of the year, the atmosphere has been clear and no rain has fallen. The wind uow dhows an inclination to get to the north-west. FOREIGN RAIL. 20 Algerian 10 Antwerp &Rotterdam. 9 i Xrdennes ~._ _ • ...... • . 1:0 Bah.&S.Fran..Lim.7 p.c. 5 Belgian East.

A most horrible oceurrendo took pl a ce last night, about 7 o'clock , in the little seafort to" 511 of Blyth, on the Northumberland coast, about 11 miles from this town. After work hours, the Volunteer Artil lery Corps at that port mustered, and marched down to their new battery on the sands at the north s ide of the harbour, for practice with heavy artillery of , and they were followed by a psiderable crowd people to witness the practice. "The usualnumber of men were toLl di to practice, and several charges had en fired frou2 a 48-poun der, when Sergeant John Manners, a butcher, and a, young man named Meggison, a clerk with Mr. Watts, merchant and banker, were ramming the last charge into the gun, when it fired upon them.

A PHYSICIAN'S syaRY. A touch of romance may be permitted to enliven the sober pages of medical record. The brilliant hues of poesy gather round the story of a princess's gratitude 1,1) her physician which has been awaking the gobemouches of Paris and London to sympathe tic enthusiasm. A young lady of rank —a 31 , ssian princess—who had suddenly become blind froin the the effect of exposure to the sunlight upon the snosw, had been sent to Dusselderf to consult the Hofrath, whose reputation as an oculist was so widely spread. She was promised recovery in a milder climate, and was sent to Palermo, where she improNed for some time ; but underg oin g a rela p se, a young physician was despatched by the great oculist to wire charge at the case for him , and report progress. Nis tention was unremitting, and the result so far suc cessful that finally the lady was ordered to return to Dusseldorf under his care, the eyes being bandaged permanently until her arrival there. At the co onsul tation her eyes were unbanagd, and de-Jighte with' the improvement in her sight, this demonstrat ive princess " glanced wildly round the assembly and in , one moment, despite her still we akened sight , see med. to scan every countenance turntd with such interest towards her own, and then, without a moment's hesi tation—as if impelled by a magnetic power stronger than herself—she walked across the room towards where the young doctor—her friend and companion —stood, silent and trembling, concealed by the rest, and, taking his hand, pressed it to her lips, and for getting all beside gratitude, the gazed upon him, and burst into a passion of tears." We think we have read something a good deal like this before ; but, perhaps,it is the style only which is fictitious, while the facts may be real. There is an amount of circumstantial detail by which the story is authen ticated, as the marriage just celebrated between the parties and the production of the play of " Valerie" at the Theatre Frang propos of the event ; and, at least, the story is be st rovato. It is pleasant to bear occasionally of grateful princesses, and the recital is of course likely to stimulate young physicians' to the most devoted attention—not atten tions—to all their patients. Outbursts of gratitude are really much needed now-a-days in the relations of the public to their m edical attendautb. fcar they are almost as rare as they are desirable. Lancet. THE LADY AND HER FOOTMAN: In the Court of Session, Edinburgh, Mr. AV, Johnson, civil engineer and patent agent, of Vernon House, Dowanhill, Glasgow, recently brought an action of divorce against Mrs. Frances Maria Vernon. Smith or Johnson, his wife, on the ground of adul tery. The parties were married at St. George's , Hanover-square, London, on 27 th September, 1854, and they thereafter lived at Great Kelviryterrace, Lansdowne -crescent, ckin gham-terrace, and Ver non House, Dowanhi ß ll, u Glasgow, and at Rothesay. They also resided for short periods at Strone, and Lamlash, and other places in Scotland, until 19th September, 1861, and had three children, two of whom are still alive.

Thi • s conduct was continued during September and October, 1860, at Rock Cottage, Ardentinny, where the pursuer's family were tem porarily residing. From October , 1860, till May, 1861, in Vernon House, Dowanhill, Cilamgow, the said defender carried on a similar course of conduct with Andrew E.ellie Ireland, assistant draughtsman, engineer, or iron shipbuilder, then residing in Mel bourne-place, Glasgow, now in England. Ireland was in the habit of frequently visiting at the house and remaining all night. The bedroom which he occupied on these occasions was near to and com municated with the bedroom occupied by the pur suer and his wife , a nd it could be entered from said bedroom with out g oin g into the lobby or stair case of the house ; and the defender woe in the habit of going into Ireland's bedroom dulling the night.
