ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INS7L TUTION. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held a t its house, John-street, Adelphi ; Mr. T. Chap man, F.R.S., vice-president, in the chair. The fol lowing rewards were given to the crews of the life boats mentioned for valuable service :—.£6 108., to the crew of the institution's boat at Lytham; £l2 to the crew of the Thorpe boat. Rewards amount ing to £9O were likewise voted to pay the expenses of the Yarmouth, Fleetw oo d, L ytham, Southport, Walmer,'Newhaven, Fraserburgh, Campbeltown, and Arklow lifeboats of the society for putting off during the late fearful gale-with the view of saving life. The silver medal of the institution, a copy of its vote on parchment, and £2 each, were voted to Mr. W. Goldring, James Spraggs, and David Farmer, being the crew of the smack Ferret, in admiration of their conduct on the 17th ult.,in put ting off in the boat of the smack and rescuing, at the greatest risk of life, the crew of three men of the sloop Cygnet, of Portsmouth, which had sunk off the Hampshire coast. A reward of £2 was likewise granted to a boat's crew for saving, at much risk of life, the crew of six men belonging to a fishing smack, which, during a frightful squall, had been capsized off Clogerhead on the Irish coast, on the 12th inst. The silver medal of the society and £2 was also voted to James M'Millan, who is upwards of 70 years of age, for his general services in saving life, and particularly for his intrepid _con duct in rushi-ng into the surf t o th e rescue of W Fordyce, o f th e s hi p Genova, of Lon d on , whic h, during a heavy gale of wind, had been wrecked on the Mull of Kantyre on the 13th ult. It was stated hat wherever the lif e b oa t s of the institution had put off during the late storm, when handled by able and determined men, their behaviour in the heavy seas had in most instances excited the admiration of their crews. At Bude Haven, however, the life boat had been ill-manned on the occasion of the fearful wreck of the Bencoolen, and the result was that she was unable to save any lives on that disas trous occasion. It was also reported that the life boat mounted on her transporting carriage, which was recently exhibited in the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, contiguous to the Interna tional Exhibition, had been sent to Tynemouth, Northumberland. A lifeboat had also just been sent by the institution to Drogheda, on the Irish coast. Mr, Robartes, M.P., had again presented to the institution IMO to assist it to found a life boat station at Porthleven, Cornwall. He had previously, in conjunction with his mother, the late Mrs, Agar, founded a lifeboat station, in con nexion with the society, at the Lizard. The insti tution decided on sending forthwith a new lifeboat to Fleetwood, on the Lancashire coast. The new obverse of the medal of the institution, representing a portrait of her Majesty the Queen, executed by Mr. L. Wyon, was exhibited at the meeting. It is in lieu of one of George IV., the first patron of the Lifeboat Society, and is a beautiful specimen of art. The demands on the institution at the present period of the year continue to be unusually heavy, and the committee were in consequence com pelled yesterday to order the sale of £l,OOO stock from its small funded capital. Payments amount ing to £6OO were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. The proceedings then ter minated. LOSS OF THE BARQUE DALEMAIN. The following official report has been addressed to the Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade " MY LORDS,—In compliance with your direc tions I have held an official inquiry, assisted by Captains Harris and Scott, as Nautical Assessors, into the circumstances attending the loss of the barque Dalemain, on the Arklow Bank, on the even ing of the 14th of October inst. The Dalemain was built at Maryport in the year 1851, and registered at Liverpool of the burthen of 275 tons. Her owners Were the Messrs. Hutchinson and Co., and she was manned by a crew of thirteen hands, all told. She 'as commanded, on this present voyage, by Mr. William Glaister M'Williams, who holds a certifi cate of comp e t ency as master, dated 28th of May, I 1861. The Dalemain sailed from Liverpool on. the 11th day of October, about noon, laden with a cargo, principally of wines and spirits, bound to La Union, in the province of Guatemala, in Central America. She appears to have been properly equipped and seaworthy. At midnight on the 11th she passed the Skerries at a distance of four miles. As she opened the Irish Channel a gale of wind came on, and the ship beat about on various tacks between the Welsh and Irish coasts, first sighting one and then the other, till 4 a.m. of the 13th, when the Stack Light was seen bearing E. a S. at a distance of 12 miles, as entered in the log-look. The gale still continuing, the vessel was wore round to the N.W, till noon of the 13th, when the latitude, by an indifferent observation, placed the ship 53 30 N. About this time the gale moderated, and the vessel headed to the southward, but the weather continued thick and hazy. At 6 p.m. the gale came on again, when they shortened sail and wore to the N.W., and at 7 30 p.m. they sounded in 50 fathoms. At 2a.m. on the 14th the weather again moderated,l and they stood to the southward, making but little way. From 8 a.m. of the 14th till noon land was indistinctly in sight, which was sup posed to be Bardsey, At noon on the 14th the master sent for the chief mate, and in consultation they decided that the land so indistinctly observed must be Bardsey, although the dead reckoning placed them to the north ward of that position. The wind at this tirre was light and variable from the southward, but increased in strength in the afternoon, and sail, which had been previously made, was in consequence again reduced to double -reefed topsails and foresail, the ship was kept to the S.W. by W. or W.S.We as the captain states, breaking off to W. by S., and so continued till just before she struck upon what was afterwards discovered to be the Arklow Bank, the weather being very thick and squally, with heavy rain. Immediately before striking a east of the lead was made by the master and second mate, which gave, as alleged, 32 fathoms. The helm was put up for the purpose of wearing the ship, and so urgent seemed the necessity of taking this step, that it was taken before all the people had come down from the foreyard. In the act of wearing the vessel struck. If these soundings had been cor rect it is difficult to discover the necessity of this hasty proceeding, as 32 fathoms are not to he found -within three or four miles of the Arklow Bank, as appears by the chart. Reverting to the assumed p os ition of th e s hip a t noon o f t h e 14th, i t i s clear that the land then seen must have been Holyhead, and not B ardsey up t which is confirmed by working reckoning till noon of that day—the bearing a n d d . e dead mate, to havlesta,euce, as stated by the master a n d with those of been Bard se y, p rec i se l y agree i ng take cau se d the l ‘ o qllead. This unfortunate mis reality bee n Barc4 s v a of the vessel, for had it in cleared the T u , kar - t he courses made would have actually Holyh ead ' Z it c rees the land seen being course s and the distance run placed her °n th: twoidettd at t low might have been was tozenaring of Bank. This error cast of the lead, when the be "°° of the 14th by a Had th* b d island of Bardsey the supposed then were, 66 they would have found, wi le Is een one re th fathoms ;whereas, had it been % v e t Wave r , by they would have obtained only 49 fathoms:lBY' unusualtaken. the chart. No cast was, 1,, The master, in his statement, urg es the severity of the weather which be exp er i enet . the Irish Channel, and that by constantly wearill n the ship he may have lost his position. He inatanaegs the Bencoolen and the Sunshine, tw o vessels that l e ft Liverpool in company with him on th e 11th i i l9tant, that the former was lost and the latter di smaE ted. Pe rnllnng every allowance for the d;f6pulties he had to contend with, the evidence shows that the gale vvos not continuous, but that there were short intervals of moderate weather, par ticularly on the morning of the 14 th , w hen the Welsh coast was indistinc tly seen, an d Holyhead mistaken for Bardsey. The fatal omission to take a cast of the lead at that time constitutes, in my opi nion, his default,' which resulted in the loss of his ship. While thus constrained to pronounce Mr. M'Williams in default, I am guided by the conside ration of the great risk to life and loss of property caused by this disaster. Taking, however, into on sideration the severity of the late gale, tho difficul ties of his position, and his unremitted at ention to his duties (with one exception) both i,efore and after the accident, I felt disposed, in c onjunction with my assessors, to deal leniently wl i h this case ; I have, therefore, to report to your lordships that I have suspended the certificate of Mr. Wm. Glaister M‘Williams for three calendar months from this date, which certificate I herewith beg leave to for ward to your lordships. I cannot conclude this re port without bringing to your lordships' notice the meritorious conduct of Davis, the chief boatman of the Coastguard at Mizen Head Station, to whose exertions a portion of the crew of this vessel are mainly indebted for the preservation of their lives. —I have, &c:, " J. W. O'DONNELL, Divisional Magistrate. " We concur in the above report. " HY. HARRIS, Nautical Assessors. !‘ ROBT. SCOTT, "Local Marine Board, Custom-house, Dublin, Oct. 30, 1862." ACCIDENI ON THE HAMMERSMITH AND CITY EXTENSION LuLII74Y. Last night, shortly before 12 o'clock, a rumour was current in the City to the effect that an appal ling railway accident had happened near Kensing ton, by the falling of a number of arches. It was stated that 14 arches had fallen, and that 10 men had been buried in the ruins. On proceeding to the spot indicated as the scene of the catastrophe, it was found that the report of the falling of the arches was unhappily correct, but that the loss of life was not so great as had been at first supposed. The scene of the disaster is at Silchester-road, Kensing ton-park. At this locality the Hammersmith and City Extension line, which is not yet completed, is carried along on a series of arches. The exact num ber could not, in the confusion and darkness of the night, be ascertained. From statements made by the persons who were on the spot, assisting to clear away the debris, it appeared that the wet weather had injuriously affected the arches, and that the authorities of the line had given instruc tions that they should be shored up and otherwise made secure. A number of workmen accordingly commenced the shoring about half-past eight o'clock yesterday evening. They had scarcely began the necessary operations when 14 arches gave way,and seven men were buried in the ruins. It is supposed that some persons were wounded, but no particular information on this point could be ascertained. A gang of labourers was at once procured, and they set to work to get out the bodies of the men who had fallen victims to this calamity. At one in the morning, when the writer of this re port left the Beene of the accident, six men had been got out, and they were all dead. COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND 2HE SOU2H EASTERN RAIL WAY. A collision occurred yesterday morning on the line used by the South-Eastern, and London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, be tween two passenger trains going in the same direc tion. It appears, from reliable information, that the tidal train of the South-Eastern Company was timed to leave London at 7.55, and that there is a train of the London and Brighton Company timed to leave at eight. Although there is only an inter val of five minutes between the two trains, no in convenience under ordinary circumstances would arise from that fact. Yesterday morning, however, a dense fog prevailed, and the lines were in such a slippery state, that when the 7.55 train arrived at the incline, just beyond New-cross, it " slid," and could only with great difficulty ascend. The eight o'clock train of course was also affected, so far as its speed was concerned, by the state of the line ; but it was proceeding at a slower rate than it would other wise have been, having received a caution at the extra signal erected on the bank that there was a a train immediately before it. The 7.55 train, how ever, was labouring hard, when, notwithstanding these precautions, the 8 o'clock one overtook it, and, owing to the fog, was too near to stop entirely before running into it. The collision, however, was not a severe one, and the passengers were more frightened than hurt, and, so far as we can learn with two exceptions they proceeded to the end of their journey ; some shaken, some a little scratched or bruised. Those who did not go on were able to return to London and proceed to their hotels or homes, and it is believed that not a single serious injury was sustained, and the ordinary traffic was not interfered with. In consequence of the many inquiries at the office of the Accidental Death In surance Company as to the condition of the chief medical officer, Mr_ Alfred Smee, who was known to be in one of the trains to which the accident happened, we are requested to state that that gen tleman was so slightly injured as to be able to at tend to the other sufferers. Some members of Mr. Smee's family and other friends who were with him did not escape without some severe cuts and con tusions. 711 E ACCIDENT ON 711 E LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAIL WAY. The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of James Vaughan, who was killed on the above line on Tuesday morning, was resumed yesterday afternoon by Mr. James Lewis and a jury at the George Inn, Rochester. pa Chatham,rn odan esohat wb y thinkh e u Mr. Bishop, superintendent of the company, and Mr. Claringbull, assistant engineer, attended the inquiry. The jury having assembled, William Hale said he was employed as guard on the luggage train on Nov. 4 ; the train passed the Rochester station shortly after nine o'clock, and the whistle was sounded as the train passed the curve. At that point several men stood by and saw the train pass. Witness heard the whistle of tne t u h p e train,train. whistle before w ar them, t he but us ua lcouldone t onot warn the workmen of danger. That morning the lug gage train was behind time. Charles Mitchell, plate-layer, said—l was en gaged with the deceased on the viaduct of the rail way on the morning of the 14th inst. The deceased was working about 20 yards from me ; the rest of the gang were close by, working on the linew;hTtishhtee deceased was the announcedl nearestl looked oke d roiits towards nadp goods down train ling. We were all at work on the line and saw the train go by. train coming, and I called out to the men to get out of the way. I got to the side. Ido de ceased heard me. He was standing in the four feet way, and the engine knocked him down. I did no t hear the whistle of the up train. I don'tthink there was time for the deceased to get out of the way, as the engino with the train was close upon him. The other man who was injur e d was ghtn wo r king dthhaet very near the deceased. man about the middle The of buthffeerbaccaku , a was thus thrown forward across the rails. Some of the men got on the parapet, and others stood be side it. Mr. Samuel Claringbull, assistant resident engi neer, stated that the viaduct where the accident happened is built of the ordinary width, namely. 25 feet; there is a span of 4 feet 6 inches from either rails between them and the parapets. The steps of the carriages project 1 foot 9 inches over the rails. George Pile, the foreman of the gang of the plate , layer s w h o were at wor k on the morning of the 4th inst., was ca ll e d an d stated that he heard dis tinctly the whistle of the up train coming up. He as was time about 40 yar d s f rom the deceased. There time for th e d eceased to have escaped when he called out. All the other men got out of the way. The whistle was given at the usual spot on the trains arriving at the curve. The man injured was hurt in trying hearing the to get the deceased away. Previous to whistle the semaphore signal was down, which notified that the up train had left Chatham station. Thomas Potts train, whic , e ngine-dri ver o f the up passenger h was due at Rochester at 9.4 a.m. on the morning lathe 4th inst., after Chatham, obser ve d that leaving the tunnel a t the distance signal was all right to go into the Rochester station. The steam was shut off. On approaching the eurve the sma cur curve l l whistle was when t blown, as u sua l on arriving at the he down goods train passed, and wit. ness observing the men on the line both alarm whis ties were given. Perceiving, however, that the two men nearest the engine did not take any notice the engine was reversed, and t he break was applied, but too late to save the deceased. There was plenty of time for the men to have got out of the way. The alarm whistle makes a great noise. The Coroner having briefly made some comments on the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of ac cidental death. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON 711 E CALE DONIAN .RAILWAY. A very alarming with fatal accithoughdent, unat tendedconsequences, occurred o n Wed nesday morning, shortly after ten o'clock, near the Gartcosh station on the Caledonian Railway. The 10 a.m. train left Airdrie for Glasgow with a larger complement of passengers than usual, on their way to attend the Glasgow weekly market. All went well with the train until it approached the Gart cosh station, when, without the slightest previous warning, except an insignificant check to the speed, the passengers experienced a violent shock, and were hurled upon and over each other and against the carriage sides in much confusion. The train having come to a dead stand immediately after the shock, the alarm occasioned by the accident speedily subsided, and the injured persons were taken from the carriages and their wants attended to so far as the means at hand permitted. Information of the occurrence having been transmitted to the Coat bridge station, Mr. Dickson, the station-master there, procuring the services of Dr. Wilson, pro ceeded to the scene by a special engine, when Dr. Wilson rendered valuable assistance to the cut and bleeding passengers, Upwards of 20 were unable to proceed on their journey, and were sent back to Airdie by a special train procured from Coatbridge. Those who were either uninjured, or had so far re covered from the shock, were able to gopn to Glas gow. Thomas Harper, the guard, got dreadfully bruised on the side, from being driven against the handle of the brake, and it is suspected that some of his ribs are broken. The engine-driver and stoker escaped uninjured. The immediate cause of the accident was the breaking of the coup ling between the first passenger carriage and the engine. So soon as this occurred, the engine, losing the drag of the train be hind it, started off in advance. When this was observed by the engine driver he shut off steam, and applying the brake strongly, brought the engine to a stand very quickly. The train of carriages, preserving a very high rate of speed, then ran into the tender, and caused the smash. As an instance of the force of the concussion it may be mentioned that the head of one of the male passengers was driven right through a panel of the carriage in which he was sitting. None of the carriages left the rails, but some were injured to such a degree as to necessitate their being shunted into a siding at Garnkirk. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1862. cashier he knew that the engagements of the bank were very heavy • but he at that time. On the Tuesday he saw the prisoner in the bank At 1 &mom ; did not remember seeing him before that time Ott that day. Witness produced his bash-book. From this it appeared that there were received on Tues day, October 21, two sums of £l6 4s. and £37 16s. before witness came to the bank. The prisoner was debited on that day as having received £38155. On the Wednesday there were five entries of pap ments made on the prisoner's account, amounting to £3O 16s. 6d. altogether. By Mr. Richardson—l do not remember that any cheques or bills presented on the Tuesday were not duly paid, supposing the party drawing the cheque had a cash balance at the bank. By the Bench—On account of the cheques he received on the Tuesday, £4BB 15s. ; and paid away £545 14s. 4d. _ _ Mr. Richardson said that there were two or three other cases, but he would prefer to have the opinion of the Bench on the case now before them at once, as that was as strong as any of the others. Mr. Ross said that it was the opinion of the Bench that Mr. Richardson had better proceed with the other cases. _ _ Mr. Richardson said that the second charge against the prisoner was for having fraudulently misapplied the sum of £4O paid into the bank on account of Mr. Thomas Parsons, silk mercer, in St. Ann's-square. He should be able to show that on the 10th of October, the sum of £4O was paid into the City Bank, for the purpose of being remitted to Mr. Parsons, who was in London at the time ; but the remittance had never been made. William Sutter, an apprentice to Mr. Parsons, said that on the 10th of October, from six to half past six in the evening, he went to the City Bank to get Bank of England notes for £4O. Whilst he was there the prisoner came in. Witness was then in conversation with Mr. Coulson, who said he could not give him notes, bat that he would give a draft. The prisoner said that was the safest way of remitting money. Witness did not understand it, and Mr. Coulson said in the presence of the prisoner that Mr. Parsons would have the money paid to him on the following morning by allowing a small discount. Witness said that he was not quite sure about it. The prisoner said that it would be quite right ; that he knew Mr. Parsons; and that he had had similar transactions with other persons in the square. After hearing some further evidence the magis trates decided that this case did not come within the limits of the statute. Additional evidence was then produced in the case of Mr. Lyon, and after hearing Mr. Cobbett the magistrates retired for consultation. After an ab sence of about three quarters of an hour, Mr. Ross, the presiding magistrate, said—We have very carefully and very patiently considered this case, and we are unanimously of opinion —the whole of the magistrates—after considering the evi dence in all its bearings, and considering what has been advanced by Mr. Cobbett for the defence, that it is our duty to send the case for trial at the assizes. 7HE ROBBERY OF BANK-NOIE PAPER. Yesterday, a well-dressed man named Henry Williams, an engraver, was placed at the bar of the Justice-room of the Mansion House before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Hale, in the custody of Henry Webb, a detective police-officer, charged with forging and engraving a copper-plate, representing part of a Bank of England note. Mr. Freshfield, solicitor to the Bank, said it would be in the recollection of the Court that one of the five prisoners who were under examination on the previous day on the charge of being con cerned in the forgery of Bank of England notes, and in the robbery of Bank paper, was a man taken in the very act of printing Bank-notes at his house in Birmingham from engraved copper plates in his possession. It would be shown that the prisoner Williams, who had only been apprehended that morning, was the engraver of one of those plates. As, however, the prisoner had been arrested so recently, and as police-officers were then engaged searching his house, he (Mr. Freshfield) was as yet imperfectly acquainted with the circumstances, and he proposed, therefore, with the sanction of the Court, that the meaner elicruld be remanded until Friday, and then brought up with the rest. The prisoner himself would probably acquiesce in that course, seeing that he might wish to prepare his defence. The Lord Mayor suggested that some evidence should be adduced on which to justify the prisoner's remand. , Henry Webb, detective officer, deposed that in company with Sergeant Tillcock, he apprehended the prisoner that morning at his house in St. Paul's road, Kennington, on a charge of engraving the forged plate produced, representing a Bank of Eng land note. He arrested him on information he had received, and he believed he should be able on a future day to produce witnesses who could establish his guilt. The prisoner was remanded accordingly. THE MANCHESTER CITY BANE FRAUDS. Yesterday morning Jonah Andrew, the manager of the City Bank, was again brought up, charged with having, as a banker, received certain money, which he appropriated to his own use. The magis trates on the bench were Messrs. W. Ross, C. J. S. Walker, F. Smith, Alderman Nicholls, T. Shuttle worth, and B. St. J. B. Joule. Mr. John Richardson, solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, said he proposed to lay before the Court some additional facts to prove the charge against the prisoner of having appropriated and fraudulently applied money with which he was en trusted as a banker, after having received explicit directions in writing to apply it in a particular way. At the previous hearing he bad proved that the pri soner was the manager of the bank; that on Tues day, 21st October last, the sum of £37 16s. was left by Mr. Lyon with him as a banker, with written instructions to apply it to retiring a bill due at the Union Bank, London, on the following day ; that the money was duly entered, in the bank books; that the prisoner was managing the bank during the whole of the day ; and that before leaving he gave express directions to Coulson, his clerk, not to write to London with any advices. The consequence was that Mr. Lyon's bill was not advised. The great difficulty on the part of the prosecution on the last occasion was to establish the fact that the prisoner had auy knowledge of the money so deposited by Mr. Lyon, and he proposed now to establish this. In the first place, Mr. Lyon would tell them that when he first saw the prisoner, after receiving the telegram about the bill not having been advised, the prisoner said he had advised the bill. This was not only stated by the prisoner, but also by Mr. Coulson, and Mr. Lyon consequently telegraphed to London to the following effect—" F. Lyon to John Williams, Hatton-garden, London. The bill was advisad:through the City Bank, payable at the Union Bank, Moorgate-street. The bankers here say it is unaccountable. Manchester, October 23, 1862." He should prove that on the very next day, on Wednesday, October 22, the prisoner appro priated to his own use £3O 16e. 6d., which, on the part of the prosecution, he said was part of the moue to he payme one y s paid by M r . Lyon.

He (111- Richardson) proposed further to p rove the misap— propriation of other moneys on th e same day 13; the prisoner. If, upon all these circumstances, the Bench should be of opinion that he had made out a prima facie case, calling upon the prisoner to answer before a jury, it would be the duty of the magis trate to send the prisoner for trial before another tribunal. Mr. Richardson called Mr. Lyon, who said that the paper now produced was the one that he signed when he paid the money a me He a r n e d n e that ul b e r o e f d h J a o t n o a n h And"int into r t e h w e bhaandk been t e I h t i s o ff n .

Joseph Wadsworth, the cashier, stated that on the 14 .nclay preceding the 21st he received a letter from the prisoner. That lette r was in his drawer at home. From that letter he should suppose that the prisoner Went to London on the Sunday evening. As the POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 6. WESTMINSTER. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MR. GEORGE BLARE LE HEUP ROGERS. George Morris appeared in discharge of his reeog nisances, for final examination, on the charge of stealing a gold watch, chain, and breastpin, from the person of Mr. George Blake le Heup Rogers. On the 233 ult., at the time of the previous in vestigation, the prosecutor was a cornet in the sth Dragoon Guards, and the prisoner a private in the Royal Horse Guards Blue. Both have since ceased to be in the army, Mr. Rogers' commission having been cancelled, and the prisoner having been discharged. Mr. Sleigh now appeared to prosecute; Mr. Bury Hutct inson to defend. Mr. Sleigh said he believed he was aware, by his instructions, what had taken place on the previous examination, and if he rightly understood the charge it was simply for stealing from his client, Mr. Rogers, his gold watch, chain, and breastpin. The young gentleman for whom he had the honour to appear, had at the time of the present transaction, which had given him so much pain, just been gazetted to a cornetcy in her Majesty's service. From his age he was barely more than a lad, and had unquestionably conducted himself with much folly and impropriety, which could not for a moment be defended ; but he had become so elated at his prospects, that he had lost that command over himself which he should have maintained, and for which he must repeat there could be no excuse, unless indeed it were that of his client's extreme youth. He had gone to Knightsbridge, where it seemed he had indulged very freely in drink, and was in so exuberant a state of hilarity that had he met a band of. Ethiopian serenaders he (Mr. Sleigh) verily believed he would have fraternised with them. He had unfortunately, while not being able to con trol himself from the excess of joy which pervaded his mind, fallen in with the prisoner at the bar who now stood charged with robbing him, and who, in defence to that charge, originated an imputation of the most foul and filthy character, totally unmerited by the unfortunate gentleman upon whom it had been malignantly fixed, and whose highly moral and respectable character throughout his life could be attested by Sir Thomas Blake (who was accom modated with a seat on the bench) and his tutor, a clergyman, who best had the opportunity of know ing him, and who could show that he had hitherto enjoyed a reputation for morality and propriety second to none. In support of the charge of felony the Court had the testimony of the prosecutor that he had his watch-guard and pin perfectly safe upon his person when he got into a cab with the prisoner, that the former must have been stolen while there, and the latter was purloined from his breast by the prisoner when he got out of the cab at Knights bridge. It would be further shown that at the sta tion-house, where prisoner was immediately taken upon the charge, Inspector Holden put some ques tions to the prosecutor, who detailed the circum stances, and described how the pin had been taken. That was in the prisoner's presence, and he made no denial of the assertion ; he did not deny the fact, and it was not until a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes afterwards—and this was a most material circumstance—that the prisoner said one word affect ing the prosecutor's reputation ; it was not until a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes after he found him self in custody for felony at the station -house that he attempted to fix this foul and filthy imputation upon him. It would be clearly shown by other testi mony than the prosecutor's that he had his watch chain when he got into the cab with the prisoner,and that the latter, after he had taken the pin, walked to where some loose characters were standing. He (Mr. Sleigh) was aware that his friend, Mr. Hutch inson, who was on the other side, would urge that consequently, could no t b e d e p en d e d the prosecutor was in a state of inebriety, and that his evidence, upon ; but he (Mr. Sleigh) apprehended that the circumstances were such as to induce the magis trate to send the case before a jury. Whatever might be the magistrate's opinion regarding the felony, there was one thing he was sure would gain his perfect sanction—that the infamous charge got up against the prosecutor ought to be regarded witb the utmost suspicion and discredit, as not being made until after the prisoner was some time in custody. _ _ Mr. Ingham observed that the question was, whe ther there wai any fresh evidence thti would carry the case any further. On the former occasion of the parties appearing before him, it was with the greatest reluctance that he consented to remand the accused, as there was no reliable evidence to support the prosecution. It was only upon the earliest en treaty of the prosecutor's attorney that he called upon the prisoner to enter into his recognisances to appear again. Until he heard whether there was new evidence which would materially strengthen the case, he thought it would be useless to proceed. Mr. Hutchinson expressed an earnest desire to cross-examine the prosecutor. As the learned coun sel had made him out something approaching to an angel, and had cast the imputation upon the pri soner of having fixed a false charge upon him, it was only just to the accused, who was brought be fore the public in such colours, that he should have an opportunity of exculpating himself and showing whether the prosecutor was at all to be relied upon —whether he was credible on his oath. Mr. Ingham observed that he took the prosecutor's own statement of his conduct on the night in quas tion, and it satisfied him that he was not in com mand of his reason at the time. He was exceedingly intoxicated, so far as not to know what he was doing, and he produced on the previous examina tion no confirmatory evidence, and the charge of felony under those circumstances consequently fell to the ground. Prosecutor was not sufficiently com petent to give a reliable account of what had occur red. On the previous examination there were other matters introduced which he could not exclude, be cause they were part of the conduct of the prosecu tor. Re (Mr. Ingham) expressed no opinion on the defence of the prisoner, but confined himself to the prosecutor's own account of the transaction. The other matter was irrelevant, as it might be termed, to this inquiry, although he could not strictly call it irrele vant as it wa s the prisoner's defence, and the prosecutor's conduct on the night in question was an important matter for investigation. He did not mean to go i nto felony ; if any o th er charge be preferred it were to must be brought b e f ore him as a distinct mat t er in H e repe a t e d his wish to know the ordinary way. any c h arg e but that of whether there w as any confi rma ti o n of the prose cutor's statement ; if t h ere was not strong confir mation, the charge of felony must fall to the ground. Mr. Sleigh was auxioue that the magistrate shotild hear what evidence he had in corroboration and in further support of the charge. Mr. Hutchinson pressed to be permitted to cross- --nine the prot,ector. Qx " -- -hserved that Mr. Hutchinson might 61eigo = F he pleased; he would be cross-examine hie client found perfectly prepared to answft._ aged the Mr. Ingham said he Might to ha re disn.:-. charge on the previous examination, and repeaten that unless strongly confirmed it was useless to go on with the prosecution. Mr. Hutchinson said that if the charge were now dismissed it was only natural until something occurred to shake their belief that the public would think the prisoner had committed the offence, but that the legal evidence was, not sufficient to _send him before a jury. He wished to disabuse the public mind in that respect, and show prosecutor as un worthy of credit. Having obtained permission, Mr. Bury Hutchinson then proceeded to cross examine the prosecutor as under:-- Mr. Hutchinson—What is your age now? Prosecutor—l am 21. Mr, Hutchinson—For what were you being edu cated at 16 ? _ Prosecutor—For the Church. Mr. Hutchinson—Where were you at the age of 16? Prosecutor—l cannot say clearly. Mr. Hutchinson—Oh, yes you can. You must know where you were. Where were you staying then ? Prosecutor—At the Rev. Mr. Margate's, I be lieve, near Cambridge. Mr. Hutchinson—How long were you there I Prosecutor—Nearly two ye3rs, I think. Mr. H.utcAnson—What did you leave there for, as you were being educated for the Church ? Prosecutor—Because I intended to go into the army instead. Mr. Hutchinson—Oh, you intended; who told you you were to enter the army ? Prosecutor—No one, I decided on that course myself. Mr. Hutchinson—Where is your home? Prosecutor—Wherever I am staying. Mr. Hutchinson—That is no answer; where is your home ? Prosecutor—At my uncle's, near Bury. Mr. Hutchinson—How long have you lived there? Prosecutor—l cannot say. Mr. Hutchinson—Will you pledge your word to the Court that you have lived with your uncle 12 months. Prosecutor—No. Mr. Hutchinson—Now, will you tell the Court of any relation with whom you have stayed 12 months. Prosecutor—Yes, my mother, at Cromer. Mr. Hutchinson—Then your home is not near Bury St. Edmund's. Prosecutor—No. Mr. Hutchinson—When I ask you where your home was, I mean where did your parents live? Prosecutor—l have no parents. Mr. Hutchinson—You had, then ? Prosecutor—Yes, my mother, at Cromer. Mr. Hutchinson—When you left there, how long did you sty with any of your uncles ? Prosecutor—l cannot say ; I stayed with several. Cross-examination continued—l cannot say how long I stayed with any of my uncles. Do not know whether I stopped with any of them six months. When I was at Bury I stopped at the Angel Hotel. It was not a public-house; it was the largest hotel in the place. I had lodgings there. I never stayed anywhere 12 months. Mr. Hutchinson—Then you made up your mind to enter the army at 18 ? Prosecutor—l - did. Mr. Hutchinson—Through whose influence were you to enter the army ? Prosecutor—l asked General Wyndham to pro cure me a commission. Mr. Hutchinson—How came you to know Gen. Wyndham ? Mr. Sleigh here interrupted, and said he really must appeal to the magistrate whether this was to be permitted. Any cross-examination which might touch his client's morality or good conduct might be as lengthy as his learned friend wished, but he really must object to his travelling away from the issue, and putting such questions as were quite foreign to this investigation. His friend (Mr. Hutchinson) bad ample scope to examine upon his client's morai character, but he (Mr. Sleigh) must appeal to his Worship to stop such a desultory exqmination as he was indulging in. Mr. Hutchinson observed that he was asking questions touching this young man's character and credit, as Mr Sleigh would see presently. Mr. IngLam really cou:d not see the use of such questions. There must be some limit to cross-exa minations, but it was hard to know where to fix that limit. He trusted, however, Mr. Hutchinson would see the necessity of strictly confining hlmeelf to the question before them. Mr. Hutchinson said he would do so, and then resumed the cross-examination as under:— Mr. Hutchinson—Do you know Captain Wynd , ham ? Prosecutor—l do. Mr. Hutchinson—How do you know him ? Prosecutor—l knew him while I was staying al Cromer. Mr. Hutchineor—How did you procure your commission ? Prosecutor—l asked General Wyndham to pro cure it for me. Mr. Hutchinson—And you were so elated, the learned counsel says, at his procuring your commis sion, that you became so intoxicated as not to know what you were about on the night you gave this man in charge. Was that so? Prosecutor—lt was. Mr. Hutchinson—Was this your first acquaint ance with soldiers? Prosecutor—No. Mr. Hutchinson—Have you ever been charged by other soldiers with taking indecent liberties with them ? Prosecutor—No. Mr. Hutchinson—Will you swear it ? Prosecutor—Yes. I was accused by a drunken man with something of that sort. Mr. Hutchinson—What do you mean by that ? Prosecutor—l do not know. Mr. Hutchison—What did this drunken man, as you call him, say ? Prosecutor—l shall not repeat the conversation. Mr. Hutchinson—Did he not charge you with inciting him to consent to the commission of an un natural offence? Prosecutor—He did. Cross-examination continued—l cannot say for certain where I found this drunken soldier. I be lieve it was at Knightsbridge This was two or three months before I got my commission. It had not been intimated to me that I should have one then. I took him in a cab, he did not take me. He was not drunk ; I was. I asked him to take care of me. Mr. Hutchinson—Where were you staying then ? Prosecutor—Must I say ? Mr. Hutchinson—Yes; you must answer me. Prosecutor—l was staying at the Rev. Mr. Hughes's, 61, Finchlev-road. Mr. Hutchinson—Were you going home to that place ? Prosecutor—No ; I was going to Bury, if I re member rightly. Cross-examination continued—l don't know what time this was ; it was night; it was certainly past nine. I was not going by train that night. I had no lodgings in town. I meant to have slept at the Tavikitock Hotel. _ _ Mr. Hutchinson—Where did you ask this sol dier to take you ? Prosecutor—l don't know; I went to the Hay market in a cab. 11r. Hutchinson—Did you get more drink ? Prosecutor—l suppose I did. Mr. Hutchinson—Did you make the soldier drunk? Prosecutor—l do not know. I gave him wine. Mr. Hutchinson—Where did you go atter you left the Haymarket? Mr. Sleigh again interposed, and asked the ma gistrate to stop such questions, which he main tained were perfectly irrelevant to the charge. Mr. Hutchinson however again assured the ma gistrate these were most important questions, and continued—Where did you go afterwards with this drunken soldier ? Prosecutor—l really cannot say. Mr. Hutchinson—Did you go in the cab ? Prosecutor—l cannot say. Mr. Hutchinson—You were too drunk to remem ber. Prosecutor—l suppose I was. Mr. Hutchinson—Did you go to 63, Seymour street, Euston-square ? Prosecutor—No. Mr. Hutchinson—Will you swear it ? Prosecutor—l can almost do so. Mr. Hutchinson—Almost. Do you know where you slept that night ? Prosecutor—l did not sleep at all. Mr. Hutchinson —Did you sit up all night ? Prosecutor—l gave the soldier in charge. Cross•examination continued—l believe I took him to Euston-square police station. I do not know how I got from the Haymarket there. I suppose I drove t here. Mr. Hutchinson —Now, upon your oath, did not this soldier threaten to give you into custody for an indecent act towards him, and did you not then charge him with robbery P Prosecutor—No, he made no such threat. Mr. Hurehinson—Did he not accuse yoii of ind cent conduct P Prosecutor—He said something about it. Mr. Hutchinson—When did you accuse Prosecutor-1 first accused him of stealing my watch and chain. Mr. Hutchinson—Upon your oath, did he not get out of the cab and say you had taken improper liber ties with him, and was it not then that you charged him ? Prosecutor—No, certainly not. I charged him first, and he apologised next morning. Mr. Hutchinson—Did you not apologise to the " magoi— 'rate? Froseeutox — No. I said if the property was re stored the soldier go. I got the property from the police, who hunk. it 1311 him. Mr. Hutchinson—Did he not charge you with having committed an indecent assault r Prosecutor—No, he did not. Cross-examination continued—On the day I gave the prisoner in charge for the present robbery I might have been in the company of several of the Grenadier Guards. I did not commit an indecent assault upon one of them; nothing of the kind occurred. I was in company with many other sol diers betore I 'net the prisoner. I was drinking in a public house with them. Mr. Hutchinson—Did you put your arm round one of them in the presence of others? Prosecutor—No. Mr. Hutchinson—Will you swear it? Prosecutor—l will. - Mr. Hutchilson—Did you not, I ask you upon your oath, do this, and did not the soldier push you away, and say he would have nothing to do with you, you had better go elsewhere ? Prosecutor—Certainly not. Nothing of the kind took place. Cross-examination continued—l met this prisoner at Knight-bridge. Really cannot shy whether that was after I was with the other soldiers. I treated everybody I met. Soon after that I asked him to go in the cab. I told the cabman to go to Euston square. Don't know why I told him to go there. Mr. Hutchinson—How came you to fix upon the same place that you went to with the other soldier you have told us about ? Prosecutor—l don't know. Prisoner told me to go there, and 1 told the cabman. Mr. Hutchinson—Who told the cabman in the other afftir to go to Euston-square ? Prosecutor-1 can't shy. Mr. Hutohinson—What were you going to Ens ton-square for o❑ the present occasion P Prosecutor—To give the prisoner supper. Cross-examination continued—l had no supper there. I cannot say whether he had any. We re turned to Knightsbridge. Missed my chain after I left the cab; it had been across my waistcoat, attached to the watch by a piece of string. Thought prisoner stole the chain b€cause I raw him steal the pin. I saw the pin in his hand when we left the cab. He snatched it from my breast. I gave him into custody as soon as I could find a policeman. Re-examined by Mr. Sleigh—My father was an officer in the army. I have been educated by tutors —clergymen. I have relations at Bury St. Ed mund's, and while there used to stop at the Angel Hotel. With regard to the first soldier Mr. Hut chinson spoke of, that was about three months ago. Mr. Sleigh—On that occasion also I believe you did what I hope you will never do again; you were very drunk, got into low society, and became mixed up with this soldier ? Prosecutor --I did. Mr. Sleigh—And I distinctly understand that this man never said a word about any impropriety until after the charge of felony had been made against him ? Prosecutor—He did not. He r ; as taken into custody and locked up; next morning I appeared, and on his restoring the property he was dischOWed. He then retracted everything he had said. Mr. Sleigh—You have been asked by Mr. Hutchinson whether you were ever indecent with other soldiers. Now, upon your oath, did you aver put your hand upon a soldier, or any other man, with an indecent intention ? Prosecutor—Certain y not. My watch-guard was not found upon the prisoner. When he left the cab he went and spoke with some low women. From the time I gave him into custody until some time after I had charged him he made no counter charge against me. It was not till after the charge had been read out that I heard him accuse me of taking improper liberties with him. When pri soner stole my pin he passed it from one hand to the other behind him, and I tried to snatch it from him. I identify this as part of my pin, which has been broken. Mr. Sleigh—l will ask you but one question more, which I will put in a general form. During the whole of your life, whatever improprieties you may as a foolish boy have been guilty of, such as drunkenness and so on, have you laid yourself open to any imputation being thrown upon your charac ter for indecency ? Prosecutor—No, never. Inspector Molder said—On Thursday morning the prosecutor and prisoner came to the station house. Mr. Rogers made a statement in his hear ing ; he charged him with stealing his goy, chain and pin from his person at Knightsbridge. He said prisoner invited him to go to Onslow-square, and they got into a cab together, went to Picca dilly, stopped at a public-house there, and had something to drink, and then returned in the cab to Knightsbridge, where the soldier seized the pin and took it from his scarf, and upon the prosecutor looking down, he discovered his watch-chain was gone, and that prisoner went to acme prostitutes who were passing at the time. From a quarter of an hour to 20 minutes elapsed before prisoner said one word in reference to the charge he afterwards alleged against Mr. Rogers. Judging from the mode in which he detailed the circumstances I should think Mr. Rogers was sufficiently sober to know whether prisoner took his property or not. After the charge was taken I told the constable who had brought the prisoner in to search him, and I asked him what he had in his hand, when he produced 25., and said they . were what Mr. Rogers had given him, after taking improper liberties with him. Mr. Rogers denied it indignantly. Prisoner had not until then said a word about indecency. To make sure of his attendance I bound the gentle man over in the sum of 120 to appear; and I sent a constable with the gentleman to his house, to see whether his address given was correct. The gen tleman then said, " Search his jacket, and you might find the pin," and the broken stern of a pin was found in his jacket. He gave no explanation about it. In cross-examination, it was admitted that the stem of a pin produced had been tested, and found not to be gold, but spurious. Prosecutor was drunk, but not incapable. Prisoner was not drunk. S. D. Lowndes, a poor ragged fellow, who gave his evidence very flippantly, said that when Mr. Rogers got into the cab in Piccadilly with prisoner, after leaving the public-house, he saw he was wear ing his gold chain. Witness alleged that prisoner " looked like a guilty man " man then, and said he had been induced to come forward because he heard the soldier was going to get £5OO out of the gen tleman, and " he thought he would stop his game." Mr. Sleigh having stated that that was his case, Mr. Ingham said that in his opinion the confir• mation was not sufficient, and the prisoner was therefore discharged. Mr. Sleigh said it was only just to his client to state that he could produce evidence to show that a person who had stated that he had witnessed an other act of indecency on the part of the prosecutor must have been mistaken, as the prisoner was else where at the time. He trusted that the investiga tion of that day would absolve his client from any imputation, and he was prepared to show, by Sir Thomas Blake and the ministers who had been prosecutor's tutors, that he was a person too moral to commit such an offence as that imputed. BOW-STREET.— GOING HOME FROM WESTON'S.—A young man named Horace Thor burn, of gentlemanly appearance, attended to answer a summons, charging him with an assault on Mr. Charles West, who is better known to the public by the professional name of Bernard, the tenor singer at Weston's Music Hall, Holborn. Mr. Beard prosecuted, and Mr. Innes defended. Mr. Beard, in opening the case, said the charge was of a most sorious nature. Some disagreement had arisen in consequence of the manner in which Mr. Thorburn's name had been associated with that of a certain lady. On the 29th October. Mr. West received information that, in consequence of his being supposed to have made a statement, but which he denied having ever expressed, certain per sons intended to waylay and beat him in the s treet. After the close of the performance at Weston's that night, Mr. West left the hall accompanied the and who person who had given him that warning , and by _ was desirous that his presence should pr otec o t er . Mr. o _ West from the intended outrage. At the corner of West from the intended outrage. At tb and the Chancery-lane, the street bein r e c s i t e 's ar friend left danger apparently passed, Mr' him. But as he passed the end d b acno mpante y several buildings the defendant, . of .Southamp lon friend's who had been Southampton - b uildings, and the defendant with him at Weston's, came out of you have been giving me a vil e character." Mr. iv es t replied, "I have do e nothing of the sort." said to Mr. West Mr. Thorb,,tq have nothing You are a liar." Mr. West said, nothiig t o say to y o u , " and p roceeded on his backri t the cornerth the ne neck k t Carey- h weapon. He fell t o th e ground stree t he was overtaken by a person who im d a violent blow on the some s evere contusions on the forehead , an re :wt. rii with he c d k s strik ing against the flagstones. He got from up, and found that his assailant was the d seized by the coat, endeavouring to whom he to prevent him striking again. Defendant strike him again i n the did, however, face, and in the struggle which 10119 w ed they both fell to the ground. Several policemen came up g a and the fracas was put an end to. He (Mr. B a rd) could offer no evidence to corroborate the prosec ntor ex cept from what he might term the enemy's camp. He should call one of the gentlemen who ac.lorn puled the defendant. If that gentleman gave evidence candidly and fairly it would show that: there had been a conspiracy to commit this out rage on the prosecutor, but he (Mr. Beard) might have some difficulty in eliciting that fact from a hostile witness. Should he succeed in proving it, he would submit that this was not a case in which a fine would meet the ends of justice, but he should ask the magistrate either to commit the defendant to prison without a fine, or send him to take his. trial at the sessions. Complainant was so much disfigured that he was obliged to get his face pa ,-2ted before he could appear to sing in public. The cot,., gave evidence in support of the Mr Beard, who then called facts stated by Mr. Wells, a f ri tld of the defendant—This wit ness gave his evidence .;"ith obvious reluctance. He denied that he was aware of any conspiracf to as sault Mr. West, but admitted the assault itse If He alleged that Mr. West struck or pushed defen,iant after receiving the first blow. Mr. Innes, in a very able defence, endeavoured tc' show that the assault was of a trivial nature, and. not premeditated. He called as a witness Mr. Nind, another of defendant's companions, who spoke very strongly in support of defendant's ease—but in cross-examination by Mr. Beard equivocated, va ried his statements and completely broke down. Mr. Hall said that if it had been conclusively shown that there had been a conspiracy to commit this outrage he should have sent the defendant to prison for two months without the option of a floe, But he could not say that the conspiracy was dis tinctly proved. One witness, though called for the prosecution, was undoubtedly biassed in favour of the defendant. Both witnesses evidently knew more than they were d'sposed to confess. The man ner in which they had given their evidence was most disgraceful to them. Yet, as the conspiracy was not proved, he would not take the extreme. course of committing the defendant without a fine, but he would impose the heaviest penalty which the law empowered him to inflict—namely, a fine of £5, including costs—not only the ordinary costs of the Court, but with £2 2s. for the costs of the solicitor for the prosecution.

A WORD ABOUT DREAMING.—With far the most. of us, the land of dreams is a strange independent land, and our sleeping life unaccountably cut off from our waking one. Words way awaken, but they seldom influence us. We hear, and do not understand ; there is a break between the minds of the speaker and the sleeper ; the sounds are not interpreted by the brain. This is not mere serious, as many persons talk in their sleep; the tongue obeys the thought, although the ear will not convey it, except, as I have said, in very rare instances. Perhaps the most curious thing connected with dreams is that experience does not correct them. People who, when their eyes are open, go about quietly on the face of the earth ordering their carriages, paying their cab-fares, or trudging in the dust, fly in their dreams. Some people lead not only a dis tinct, but a continued life in their dreams. They take the thread up, for several consecutive nights, with a conscious ness that they are dreaming. Most dreams, however, are distinct. They may be repeated, but are without connec tion.—Oncc a Week.
