- I YAL NAHONAL LIFEBOAT rATS7I TUTION. Yester;lay a meeting of this institution_ was held t its h ouse, J o h n - stree t, Ad e lph i ; Mr. T. Chap- 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 10s., tol the crew of tb.e institution's boat at Lytham; £l2 I to the crew of the Thorpe boat. Rewards amount ing to £9O were likewise voted to pay the expenses of the Yarmouth, Fleetwood, Lytham, Southport, Walmer, Newhaven, Fraserburgh, Campbeltown, and Arklow lifeboats of the society for putting off during the late fearful gale with the view of saving 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 s un k o ff the i lampshire c o as t. A reward of £2 was likewise granted to a boat's crew for saving, at touch 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 rushing into the surf to the rescue of W. Fordyce, of the ship Genova, of London, which, during a heavy gale of wind, had been wreaked on the M u ll o f K antyre on the 13th tilt. It was stated hat whereve r th e lif e b oats o f th e institution had put off during the late storm, when handled by able and det erm i ned men, the i r b e h av i our 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 or. 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, had again presented to the institution £l5O 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 was commanded, on this present voyage, by Mr. William Glaister M‘Williams, who holds a certifi cate of competency as master, dated 28th of May, ltita. 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. f 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, and they stood to the southward, making bat 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 ill consultation they decided that the land an indistinctly observed must be Bardsey, although the dead reckoning placed them to the north 'ward of that position. The wind at this time 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.W., 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 cast 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 Position of the ship at noon of the 14th, it is clear that the land then seen must have been Holyhead, and not Bardsey ; which is confirmed by working up .. the dead rec k on i ng till noon of that day—the mete ' and distance, as s t a t e d b y t h e master and to have been Bardsey, precisely agreeing w ith th ose of Holyhead. This unfortunate mis take caused • th a el s o ey ss of the vesse l, f or h a d i t i n reality been Bardsey the courses made would have cleared th e rt„ k actually ar, Holyhead, whereas the land seen b e i ng run placed h er ou,thitie course s a nd t h e d i stance might have b een avoidta e Arklow B ank.

No cast w ee , peerieunnusual The master, in his statement, severity of the weather which be ex the Irish Channel, and that by constantly I ,„Z a rin i the ship he may have lost his position. He instane!s the Bencoolen and the Sunshine, two vessels that left Liverpool in company with him on the 11th instant, that the former was lost and th e l atter d ismasted. While making every allowance for th e difficult i es be bad to contend with, the evidence shows that the gale was not continuous, but that there were short intervals of moderate weather , par ticularly on the mornin, , of steheen,la4ntdh, Holyhead n he t a n d e Welsh coast was indistinct l y mistaken for Bardsey. The fatal omission to t ake a cast of the lead at that time cons titutes, in my opi nion, his ' default,' which resulted in the loss of his ship. While thus constrained to pronounce Mr. . I WWilliatns in default, I am guided by the conside ration of the great risk to life and loss of property 1 oaugtd by this disa s t er . 'r a ki ng, h owever, into con,. 1 si , deration the severity of the late gale, th difficul ties of his position, and his unremitted at , ention to his duties (with one exception) both I_ afore and after the accident, I felt disposed, in onjunction with my assessors, to deal leniently with 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, INautical Assessors. " ROBT. SCOTT, " Local Marine Board, Custom-house, Dublin, Oct. 30, 1862." ACCIDENI ON THE HAMMERSMITH AND CITY _EXTENSION RAILWAY. 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 ❑ight, 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 begun 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 scene of the accident, six men had been got out, and they were all dead. COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND IHE SO Ti EASTERN RAILWAY. 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. 7HE ACCIDENT ON 711 E LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. 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, 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 the up train, which was before them, but could not see the train. The whistle was the usual one to warn the workmen of danger. That morning the lug gage train was behind time. Charles Mitchell, plate-laye r , said—l was en gaged with the deceased on the viaduct of the rail way on the morning of the 14th inst. Thederceesatseodf was working about 20 yards from me ; the the gang were close by, working on the line; the deceased was the nearest towards Chatham. The goods down train announced its approach by whist ling. We were all at work on the line and saw the train go by. I looked round and saw the up train coming, and I called out to the men to get out of tho way. I got to tho aide. Idu uuL think de ceased beard me. He was standing in the four feet way, and the engine knocked him down. I did not hear the whistle of the up train. I don't think there was time for the deceased to get out of the way, as the engine with the train was close upon him. The other man who was injured was working very near the deceased. The buffer caught that man about the middle of the back, and he 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 for eman o f t h e gang of the platelayers who were at work on the morning of the 4 th inst., was call e d an d stated that he heard dis tinctly the whistl e o f th e up train coming up. H e was about 40 yards from the deceased. Therehe called T he time for th e d eceased to have escaped when out. All the other men got out of the way.trains whistle was given at the usual spot on the arriving at the curve. The man injured was hurt in trying to get the deceased away. Previous to hearing the whistle the semaphore signal was down, which notified that the up train had left Chatham station. Thomas Potts, engine train, whi c h Was du drive r o f the up passenger eat morning of th e 4 th in Roch es t er at 0.4 a..m, on th e t., after leaving the tunnel at Chatham, observed that the distance signal was all right to go into the Rochester station. The steam w as shut off. On approaching the curve the small whistle was blown, as 11811a1 on arriving at the Passed, and wit curve when the down goods train .. .~ ss. ness obset , ting the men on the line both alarm whis tles were given. Perceiving; however; that the two men nearest the engine did not take any notice the engine was reversed, and the 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 retuzned a verdict of ac cidental death. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON 711 E CALE DONIAN _RAILWAY. A very alarming accident, though happily unat tended with fatal consequences, occurred on 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 go . on 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. 71IE ROBBERY OF BARK-NOTE 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 prisoner should 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, Pau l's roa d, 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 BANK 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. 4.1. t the previous hearing he had 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 advises. 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 any 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 advis3d '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 16s. 6d., which, on the part of the prosecution, he said was part of the money sopaid b y Mr. Lyon. On the Sunday pre vi bank °a was in a to the paym en t inv beingairen circumstances, n b e y s ,Anlnr.aLtyhoen th ve very pri soner went to London for the of purpose making arrangements as to his remittances. The whole of the affairs of th e b ank were then evidently going to ruin. The week before these occurrences B oner sent bills to th e amount of £l,oooto B the i)ri ham, for the purpose o f b e i ng discounted, thus Birming ham, g that bankruptcy was inevitable, d show ing at all events the position of the bank required great cau tion on the part of the prisoner in dealing with any funds which might come into his hand s . H e (Mr. Richardson) propcsed further to prove the misap propriation of other moneys on the same day by 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 woald 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 row produced was the one that he signed when he paid the money into the bank, but his name and that of " Jonah Andrew" had been cut off. He remembered that on the paper were the words, " I deposit with Jonah Andrew." He saw Coulson on the Wednesday, and, in consequence of what he said, telegraphed to Lon don. On the Thursday witness took the prisoner to _ I the police-office, and th e p r isoner there said, " have advised the bill in due form." Joseph Wadsworth, the cashier, stated that on the Sunday preceding the 21st he received a letter from the prisoner. That letter was in his drawer at home. From that lett er t o s h ou l d suppose that t h e pr i son er we to London on the Sunday evening. As the I Tli SUN, LONDi; FRIDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 1862. I cashier he knew that the engagement's ot the bank were very hes,vy at that time. On the Tuesday he saw the prisoner in the bank a: 1 o'clock; but he did not remember seeing him before that time on that day. Witness produced his cash-book. From this it appeared that there were received on Tues day, October 21 1 two sums of £l6 4s. and £37 16s. before witness came to the bank s The prisoner was debited on that day as having received £38 15x. On the Wednesday there were five entries of pay ments made on the prisoner's account, amcunting 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 16s. ; and paid away £545 14s. 4d. Mr. Richardson said that Caere 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 Oct,ber, the sum of £4O was p a id int o 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 bearing 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 foi the defence, that it is our duty to send the case for trial at the assizes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 6. WESTMINSTER. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MR. GEORGE BLAKE LE HEUP ROGERS. George Morris appeared in discharge of his recog 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 23d 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, wnat had taken place on the previous examination, and if he rightly understood the charge it was simply f or s t ea ling from his cli en t, Mr. Itagers, 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 nut 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 bis 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 o th e r 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 the prosecutor was in a state of inebriety, and that his evidence, consequently, could not be depended 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 with 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 way any fresh evidence that 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 earnest 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 ques 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 He they w ere p ar t o f t h e conduct of the prosecu (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 irrel evan t, as i t m i g h t b e t er med, to this inquiry, alth oug h he could not str i ct l y ca ll itirrelevant as it was the prisoner's defence, and the pr osecutor ' s conduct on the night in question was an imp ortant matter for investigation. H e did not mean to go i n t o aly c h arge b u t that of if felony ; any other charge were to be preferred it must be brought b e f ore him as a distinct mat t er i n the ordinary way,"-i u e repeated his wish to know whether there was any confirmation 3f the prose cutor's statement ; if t h ere was not strong confir mation, the charge of felony fall to the ground. Mr. Sleigh was anxio us that the mag i stra t e s hould must ' - what evidence he had in corroboration and in noes .. ^f the charge. further slpposs ' so be permitt e d t o cross - Mr. Hutchinesin preSeets examine the prosectors • Mr, Sleigh observed that Mr. Hutchinson /snips cross-examine his client if he pleased; he would be found perfectly prepared to answers Mr. Ingham said he ought to have dismissed the charge on the previous er.smination, and repeated that uolese strongly confirmed it was useless to go on with the prosecutioti 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 P Prosecutor-4 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 ? Prosecutor—Nearly two years, I think. Mr. flutceinson--What did you leave there for, as you were being educated fel.. 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 stsy 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, hut 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) had ample scope to examine upon his client's moral character, but he (Mr. Sleigh) must appeal to his Worship to stop such a desultory examination 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. Ingham 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 bee the necessity of strictly confining hlmaelf 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 at Cromer, Mr. Hutchinsor —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. Hutchinson—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 I 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, Finchley -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 nice. I was net going by train that night. I had no lodgings in town. I meant to have slept at the Tavistock 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. Mr. 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 after 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 must important questions and continued—Where did you go after war d s 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 —I gave the soldier in charge. Cross-examination continued—l believe I took him to Euston-square p olice-station. I do not know how I got fro m the Haymarket there. I suppose I drove t here. Mr. Hutchinson—N ov , upon your oath, did not this soldie r th reaten to give ' you into custody for an iudecant act towards him, and did you not then charge him with robbery ? Prosecutor—No, he made no such threat. Mr. Hut e hinson—Did he not accuse you of inde cent conduct ? Prosecutor—He said something about it. Mr. Hutchinson—When did you accuse him? Prosecutor—l 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 r "'N certainly not. I c h arge d hi m ot morning. Prosecutor—i..., first, and he apologised l Mr. ifutchinson—Did you not', apologise to the magistrate? Prosecutor—No. I said if the property was rr stored the soldier might go. I got the property from the police, who found it on him. Mr. Hutchinson—Did he not charge you with having committed an indecent assault ? 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 before I met 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. Hutchimson—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 KnightThridge. 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 g 3 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 :he cabman. Mr. Hutchinson—Who told the cabman in the other tiff tir to go to Euston-square Prosecutor-1 can't say. Mr. Hutchinson—What were you going to Eus ton-square for on the present occasion P Prosecutor—To give the prisoner supper. Cross-examination tinned—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 becaase I raw him steal the pin. I saw the pin in his hand ATllen we left the cab. He snatched it from my breast. i :aye him into custody as soon as I could find a policema2. 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—l 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 was taken into custody and locked up; next morning I appeared, and on his restoring the property he was discharged. He then retracted every thing 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 ever put your hand upon a soldier, or any other man, with an indecent intention ? Prosecutor—Certain y not. My watch-guard was not found upoa 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 P Prosecutor—No, never. Inspector "[older 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 gold 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 seir-d 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 /20 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 stem 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 "be 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 serious nature. Some disagreement had arisen in consequence of the manner in which Mr. Tnorburn'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 street. After the close of the performance at Weston's that night, Mr. West left the hall accompanied by the person who had given him that warning, and who was desirous that his presence should protect Mr. West from the intended outrage. At the c a o n rn d er of the Chancery-lane, the street being clear, danger apparently passed, Mr. Wres him. But as he passed the endof by' Southampton buildings friend left athampton buildings the defendant, accompanied _ several friend's who had been with him at Westons, came the defendant out of Southampton -buildings, and said to Mr. West, You havebeen giving me a vil e character." Mr. West replied, I have done nothing of the sort." Mr. Thorbu rn said " You are a liar." Mr. West said, " I have nothing to say to you," and proceeded on his way. At the corner of Carey-street he was overtaken by a person Who struck him a violent blow on the back of the neck with some weapon. He fell to the ground, and re ceived severe contusions on the forehead rorn strik ing against the flagstones. He got up, and found that his assailant was the defendant, whom he seized by the coat, endeavouring to prevent him striking again. Defendant strike him again i n the did, face,however, and in the struggle which follow e d they both fell to the ground. Several policemen came up, and the fracas was put an end to. He (Mr. B ard) could offer no evidence to corroborate the prosecutor ex cept from what he might term the enemy's camp. He should call one of the gentlemen who accom panied the defendant. If that gentleman gave his evidence candidly and fairly it wo u ld show that there li t 2c l bee n a cons p i racy to commit this out rage on the ;.7 t osecutor, but he (Mr. Beard) might have some diffic i Y in eliciting that fact from Et hostile witness. Shoi.7! d he succeed in proving it,. he would submit that this 7as 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 painted before he could appear to sing in public. The complainant gave evidence in support of the facts stated by Mr Beard, who then called Mr. Wells, a friend of the defendant—This wit ness gave his evidence with obvious reluctance. He denied that he was aware of any conspiracy to as sault Mr. West, hut admitted the assault itself. He alleged that Mr. West struck or pushed defendant after receiving the first blow. Mr. Innes, in a very able defence, endeavoured to show that the assault was of a trivial nature, and not premeditated. He called as a witness Mr. Ninct., another of defendant's companions, who spoke verrr, strongly in support of defendant's case—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 fine. 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 coats cf 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 mare 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.—Once a Week.
