Adams, the rider of Twilight, went di rect to Johnny Reeves (who was seated at the time) and struck him a severe blow in the face, causing blood to fi3W freely. Adams being a heavier and bigger lad the affair created much indignation, and on the case being submitted to the stewards, Admiral Rous and Lord Wm. Powlett, they gave the following decision :—" Whereas as F. Adams, jockey, assaulted John Reeves, jockey, and struck him in the face without any apparent provocation in the weighing room on the first day at the Egham race meeting, the stewards order F.

Baird, arrived in this port on the 18th inst. from Patras. She had been relieved there by the paddlewheel sloop Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour. The screw gunvessel Foxhound, 4, Com mander the Hon. A. C. Hobart, also arrived here yesterday afternoon with despatches from the Com mander-in-Chief at Corfu and a mail from that island. The Foxhound left Corfu at 545 p.m. of the 19th, leaving at anchor there the Marlborough, 131 (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir 'W. Fan shawe Martin, K..C.8.), Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., and the Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B. Rice. The Queen, 76, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, sailed from Corfu the same day for the Piraeus, to relieve th e E xmouth, 86, Capt. J. A. P o y n t er , or d ere d h ome to be paid off. The Algiers, it was expected, wo u ld proceed to Messina, in additi on t o th e Doris, 32, Capt. Si r F. L. M'Clintock, and the Amphion, 36, Capt. A. G. Gordon, already on the coast of Sieily watching Gari baldi's movements. The Foxhound received orders to meet the Admiral at Zante, on her return from Malta with the despatches expected by the overland mail of the 18th inst. Having, how ever, sustained an accident to the coupling bolts of her abaft at midnight of the 20th; be t--p a te s e here, she will not be able to go up with the mail due to-night, and the Alacrity will take her place. At a Court-martial held on board the Queen, a Marine, named Francis Glynn, charged with striking Sergeant Isaac Miller, R.M.A., was found guilty and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. The Foxhound brought to Valetta a Marine, sen tenced to three months' imprisonment for prevari cating on the trial. I have also to report two cases of assault by soldiers on non-commissioned officers, which have occurred in this garrison. John *Sweeny, a soldier of the 23d Royal Welch Fusi leers, was tried last week by general court-martial, for wounding with his bayonet in the chest in two places Corporal George Gay, of the same regiment, against whom he had some grudge. Fortunately, the wounds did not prove fatal. The prisoner, who bore an indifferent character, was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. The other ease is that of a soldier of the 25th Regiment, who was to have been tried on Saturday for striking a sergeant, but, having been taken ill, the trial has been postponed until his recovery. The only ships of war in port are the Hibernia ('oearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. J. Codrington, C. 8.), her tenders Growler and Boxer, and the gnnvessels Alacrity and Foxhound. His Excellency Sir H. G. Robinson, Governor of Hongkong, and Lady Robinson arrived yesterday by the Ceylon, en route from Hongkong to Eng land. On the 16th inst. Corfu was visited by a violent thunderstorm, with heavy rain and strong wind from the north-west. Here we have had for the last fortnight very oppressive and sultry weather. During the whole of that period there has been nothing but one constant succession of siroccos. The health of the soldiers and sailors, nevertheless, continues good, and I hear similar favourable accounts from Corfu. LICHFIELD EACES.—WEDNESDAY.

LOVE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER OF 11 1 7 0(Thra WOMAN AND HER BROTHER. Edward Cramphorn, aged thirty, a labourer, o Manor-lane, Rotherhithe, was placed in the dock at the Greenwich Police-court, yesterday, before Mr. Traill, charged with wilfully stabbing Bridget Mary Hartnett and Alexander Hartnett. The parties wounded are now lying in a dangerous state, the former in a room adjoleiree the police-court, being unable to be removed, teed the latter in Gut's Hospital, both suffering iron.' severe wounds inflicted with a large clasp knife itt the left side, the wound on the female being immee diately under the breast, she also suffering from a similar injury on the right arm. Mr. Traill having been informed by Mr. Fisher, surgeon, who was in attendance upon the female, that she was in such a dangerous state as to render it necessary at once to take her deposition, Lis worship, accompanied by Mr. Bonstred, the chief clerk, proceeded to the bedside of the unfortunate female when the examination took place in the hearing of the prisoner. The female, a young woman of pleasing features, about 25 years of age, stated that she first knew the prisoner six years ago, at which time he was a mar ried man. She had seen nothing of him from that time until the second Sunday in July of the present year, when he sent for her to her sister's house, having inquired after her among his fellow-work men and found out where she was. He then repre sented himself as a widower and proposed marriage to her, the answer given by her being that she thought it a hasty thing to do, and thatehe would rather have time to consider over it ; but in con- sequence of some persons saying if she married the prisoner she would never have cause to regret it, she was induced to'have the banns published at the Roman Catholic church at Greenwich, the prisoner at the time expressing a desire to the priest to be received as a member of that Church him self. The banns having been twice pub lished, a communication was made to her that the prisoner had greatly ill-treated his wife, and that if she were married to him she could only expect to receive simile:- ill treatment. She and her brother told the prefee e nar what they had heard, which the prisoner said we's not true, and expressed a desire to see his accusers face to face. The engagement between them was then broken off, but she afterwards visited at the prisoner's sister's at Rotherhithe, and was there on Tuesday evening when the prisoner returned from his work, and on her leaving to reach her home at Deptford by nine o'clock, the prisoner expressed his intention of accompanying her, which she ob jected to, reminding him of what she and her brother had before told him. He, _however,_ per sisted in his intention, and having proceeded some distance on the road he induced her to ge into a public-house, where the prisoner met several of his fellow-workmen, and remained some time, Wheil she expressed her intention of proceeding home, at the same time desiring the prisoner not to go farther with her, as she was afraid of meeting her brother. fa o egthm u e ta rs d nfirkg n o ehm o subsequently The prisoner o r afhue n e urtew f drw a tahu s hafi ; ar d ttedtorstst t hhtho o ehe venrehr l d, as e , aeprawadr prisoner wife's her, sister, s a t n e and they who hourr vhltpt e e hoiarao m edovuhv o pesbei remonstrated ewshe t nto r rteohj a hnee t ha e raotts c I ,furwhtuhr w eehsti rsoa t Ifhbcorctt endeavouring o her cl tc a ok t ewt being hhoe n v o hsesosh u eohundh t enr eeuaeesr a rrrdhtdi t pre viousd t history. The prisoner said he wished to have one word with her, and declared he would follow her until the morning. She and her brother's wife's sister then ran in the direction of the latter's home, to a spot where her brother was engaged on the Metropolitan Main Drainage Works. Here the prisoner was again remonstrated with, and was told by her and her brother that he wouldehear on the morrow what was intended, and on snbse qnently attempting to leave the prisoner he said he, would have her life, followed her some distance and' struck her in the breast three or four times, and also on the right arm; and finding herself stabbed she screamed " Murder," and "Police," and 'was afterward removed to where she was then lying. The prisoner declined putting any questions. Mr. Matson, omnibus proprietor, Deptford, dee posed to hearing a female voice fellng the prisorier' 4 ''''' ----- that he might go his way and she would go her own, and the prisoner replied, " That cuts me to the heart." Witness then heard the sound of a blow, and saw the female fall, and afterwards saw pri soner and the wounded man scuffling together, and they fell. The prisoner, who had the knife in his hand, said he had done what he intended. :oentt wlhoosgrdo thlhaeert epsrahene. John Potter, watchman at the sewage works, gave confirmatory evidence of the occurrence. Po lice-constable 187 R afterwards came up, and with the assistance of three or four other constables the knife was taken from the prisoner. Inspector Saunders said he saw the prisoner and the wounded man together a few minutes previ ously to her running to him and saying she was stabbed. ...~--_- . <:~- This being the whole of the evidence of the wit nesses in attendance, the prisoner was conveyed last evening to the bedside of the wounded man at Guy's Hospital, whose deposition was then taken, being the same in substance as that of his sister, given above. Mr. Traill remanded the prisoner, who app e a re d quite callous, and remained unmoved at the sight of his injured victims, to Maidstone gaol. `; THE CASE OF SHOOTING A YOUNG WOMAN AT DALSTON. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, resumed the inquiry, commenced upon Saturday, at the Lord Truro, Dalston-lane, upon the body of Susan Dimmock, who was shot on the evening of Thursday last by Alfred Greave. under circum stances which have been already given. Mr. lorry appeared to watch the proceedings for the party so accused. Richard Greave now said that he went to the toll-bar upon the night of Thursday, at about half past 11. His brother was not there. The deceased came up soon after and stood at the door. Shortly afterwards his brother came to the door of the toll_ box, and, putting his arm round the shoulders of the deceased, took up a pistol belonging to the toll gate keeper, and saying something to de cease d , fired at her. She fell almost immediately, and was picked up by witness's brother and the girl Haw kins, who was with her at the time. His brother said he did not know the pistol was loaded, and he expressed the deepest sorrow for what had occurred, and gave himself up to the police. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a ver dict of misadventure. 711 E ALLEGED MURDER NEAR SHEER NESS. SIT TINGB ouitiVE, WEDNESDAY. death of Wm. El l i ott, who was found d ea d i n a This morning th e two men w h o h ave b een, almost from the first moment, suspected of cau s i ng the wheat-field, under circumstances recently and fully reported which led to an impression that a wilful and deliberate evader had been committed, were again the inbronugevh. G. B. Moore (sittin g mag i strates att u p before Mr. Ed ward Twopenny and Sittingbourne)' by Superintendent Green, of the Rent CoantY Police, wh o, i t may be remembered, had been previously c h arge d with the alleged cr i m e and discharged for want of sufficient evidence t o convict them. The two men, William and Edward Johnson (father and son), coal, corn, and potato dealers at Sheerness, having been placed at the bar, Mr. Sup er i nten d ent Green called the attention of the bench to the previous circumstances of the case. Mr. S. G. Johnson, solicitor, Faversham, appeared I for the accused parties. Mr. Goffit, a schoolmaster, of Queenborongh, de posed that on Monday, the 18th inst., he went to a place named Pigtail, on the road to Minster, end on his road home a cart passed him, and he called out to the driver and asked for a ride home. After he got up to the cart, he saw it was Johnson, the elder, who asked him to jump up, and he did so. When he had got into the cart Johnson asked about this murder, and what people said of it, and witness said that some people thought he was guilty, and some thought he was innocent; but on the day, of the regatta at Sheerness he was spoken to by a man named Moss. He (Goffit) said he believed Johnson was innocent, and Moss replied that a ny on:; who said so was either as bad or implicated in the murder. On this Johnson, ump e d I , in the cart, and said with much emotion, " I did not know the man I shot." He (witness) sa id , tongue, Johnson," and young J o h nson also told h i s father to be quiet and mind wh at he said. After other evidence, Sup er i ntendent Green as k e d for a remand, which was granted. cc Hold your SERIOUS COLLISION.— 13 Uring the last trip up the river, the scre w s t eam vessel Zephyr , f r om W a t erford, with passengers an d general cargo, w hilst near D eptford Dockyard, by some means ran down two coal brigs, named the Martha and Icarus.

The Singapore Free Press, of July 17, contains he following on this subject:— "On the 13th ultimo the Sarawak gun boat, Badger, arrived off Muka, on her way from Bintuls to Sarawak, and shortly after she had anchored heavy firing was heard in the direction of Oya, which it was subsequently ascertained proceeded from two Lanun prahus attack ing an Oya boat. About an hour after this two Lanun boats were seen in the offing pulling up the coast. The sea breeze springing up the Badger get under weigh and gave chase, having on board Mr. Hay and some other persons who had come off from Muka. The Lanuns, on seeing the Badger following the m , wa it e d f or h er, an d when she was within a short distance she opened fire on them with her 12-pounder gun, on which they pulled away, A running fight was then maintained for some time, the Badger firing some 30 or 40 rounds from her large gun, and a discharge being kept up with rifles. The pirates, how ever, made so much way with their sweeps that the gunboat could not get near them. Soon after a steamer appeared in sight, when the pirates exerted all their strength to get in shore. This they at last managed by crossing the Badger's bows, during which they were much cut up by her shot. The pirates succeeded in getting so close to the beach that they were out of range of the Badger'ss gun. The steamer then went ahead and lowered six boats which tried to cut the pirates off and drive them ashore, but the Lanuns kept boldly on and ran the gauntlet through the beats, firing upon them with their lelas and muskets, and at last com pletely distanced them. It being now dark the pirates were lost sight of, and the Scout and Badger proceeded to Bin tulu, and next day the former vessels went on to Labuan; without making any further search for the Lanuns. It has since been ascertained from some captives who made their escape, that the pirates ran into a small river and hid them selves, their boats being so much cut up by the Badger's shot that they could scarcely be kept afloat. They re mained for two days in their hiding places, repairing da mages, and then again proceeded to sea. Eleven captives succeeded in effecting their escape from these boats, and they reported that in one of them there were nine men killed and wounded, the other also having suffered severely. Each prahu had a crew of 30 men, and there were about 50 prisoners in each, chiefly Javanese, Bugis, and Pontianak people. It was said that among the captives was the wife of Pangeran Bandahara of Soerabaya. These two boats left Sulo at the same time with the six destroyed by the Rainbow, but separated from them on an independent cruise. The Lanuns taken by the Rainbow and now in custody at Sarawak, state that they were emboldened to proceed so openly along the coast of Borneo from there never being any steamers there on the look out for them, whereas the Spaniards have plenty. " For some years past the English naval authorities have chosen to leave the coast of Borneo entirely unpro tected, and the natural result has been that the pirates have resumed their former boldness, cruising along the coast and actually making the colony of Labuan one of their stopping places, from whence they despatch emissaries to Singapore, to dispose of the more valuable and portable part of their plunder. Should the naval commander-in-chief think pro per to take proceedings against them there will be little difficulty in getting information as to their principal head quarters from the prisoners now in the hands of the Sarawak Government. At all events, we trust that in future there will be a sufficient number of steam gunboats stationed on the coast of Borneo to intercept the pirates and give pro tection and security to the trade. If this is not done we may expect to hear of English traders falling into the hands of the pirates some day, the case of the Lizzie Webber showing that they are not disinclined to match themselves even with square-rigged vessels when the opportunity oc curs." Yesterday Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson, Con troller of the Navy, went down to Chatham dock yard in order to inspect the works connected with the armour-clad frigate Royal Oak, 50 guns, which is to be launched in a few days. Admiral Robinson, who was joined at the dockyard by Capt. Fan shawe, the superintendent of the establishment, and Mr. Lang, master shipbuilder, first inspected No. 3 dock, in which the Royal Oak will be placed as soon as launched. In consequence of the great size and breadth of beam, however, of the iron plated frigate, which exceeds that of most of our line-of-battle ships, it has been found necessary to cut away several feet in thickness of the granite sides of the dock to allow of the vessel entering — an operation in which a body of masons and stone cutters have been engaged for several months past. The work, however, is now nearly at an end, and before the 10th of September, the date fixed for the launch, the dock will be ready to receive the Royal Oak, it being intended to place her in dock imme diately, in order that no time may be lost in fixing the remainder of the armour-plates to her sides. Admiral Robinson afterwards proceeded to the eastern end of the yard, to the Royal Oak in the inspection of which he was occupied some time, every department of the vessel being minutely ex amined. The operation of plating the sides is sus pended for the present, the efforts of the 600 hands now employed on board being directed to the com pletion of the docks, the entire upper deck being covered with iron, and the general finishing off of the engine-rooms, decks, and the other internal parts of the vessel. At the termination of his in spection of the Royal Oak Admiral Robinson trans acted official business with Captain Fanshawe, and returned to the Admiralty in the afternoon. The paddlewheel steamer Argus, 6, 300-horse power, Commander Moore, fitting for service in the Chinese waters, received her armament on board Chatham yesterday. It consisted of two Armstrong and four smooth-bore guns, with the usual number of smaller guns and howitzers for boat service. The Argus has been selected to convey a detachment of the Royal Marines to Japan, the officers and men composing which have been specially chosen to per form guardand escort duty at Her Britannic Majesty's Legation, Japan. Preparations were yesterday commenced in Wool wich Dockyard, in clearing the thoroughfares, lay ing down an additional platform and stage, deco rating the gangway, &c., at the place of embarca tion for the Queen and Royal family on Monday, who are to take the steam tender Fairy from Wool wich to Greenhithe, and there j ain the royal squadron for Antwerp. The Osborne is under orders to return to Greenhithe after landing the royal family at Antwerp, and embark the Prince of Wales and suite, who will proceed to join her Majesty in Germany. The iron steam despatch vessel Caradoc was yes terday undoeked at Woolwich, and the iron steam store vessel Buffalo was docked in her place. The crew of the iron steam store ship Supply, Master Commander Balleston, having been mustered by the Commodore Superintendent, the vessel left Wool wich for Greenhithe, to adjust compasses. She is laden with a general cargo of Admiralty and war stores for Bermuda, and is under orders to sail this Increase Decrease. I morning. The steam sloops Prometheus and Alecto, in dock at Woolwich were yesterday ordered to be pushed forward for sea (most probably for duty on the West Coast of Africa) with the utmost possible despatch.

By the author of " Greymore." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. We find here, under an old title, a very clever and interesting novel, of which the plot is contrived with great skill—the reader's curiosity being largely excited, and true poetical justice is done in the end. The scene is laid in a quiet country village, called Wynthorpe, in which the chief residence, once an episcopal palace, had been taken by a wealthy London merchant named Clyde, whose daughter Beatrice, the heroine of the story, is thus intro duced :—" She was not exactly tall, though deci dedly above the middle height, and her figure was slight and elegant. Her head was remarkably well-formed, and beautifully set on; and her abun dant dark hair was so arranged as to show the tips of her delicate ears, and to mark the outline of her face in a graceful line, harmonising exactly with the perfect curve of her neck and shoulders. Her complexion was fair and clear, but not brilliant; her features small and regular, and her eyes large and dark, slightly shadowed by her broad white brow; the eyebrows almost straight, and forming a clearly-defined, slender line. Her mouth was flexible, and capable of relaxing into the most en chanting smile; but at present the lips were firmly closed, and an expression of mingled restlessness and discontent hovered over them." Of the society in the neighbourhood she soon monopolises the chief attention, not merely from her beauty and fas cinating manner, but from a certain air of mystery about her which is difficult to unravel. By turns reserved, or recklessly gay, she piques curiosity, gains numerous admirers among tile opposite sex, and incurs the censure of the prudent among her own. Her mental state is thus described:—" It is in real life, as in books," thought Beatrice, " nothing but marrying or giving in marriage ; or, if not the realities, the shadows of them." They sickened her heart, yet she could not fly from them. Were they so pleasant, these realities, that people caught at the shadows and played with them ? tiow, if she, too, joined in the game ? It had been a dangerous one to many, she had been told, but there was excitement in it. Excitement and life ! and Beatrice thirsted for life, and chafed in the narrow prison in which she felt her whole being, outer and inner, fettered—and at the fate to which chance, or her evil genius, had bound her. Freedom ! Life ! Joy ! for these she longed. These she knew to be unattainable. But, oh ! to feel for one moment the reflected light of them ! To fancy, even for a little time, that which could never be real. To guess what happiness was like. To taste, but for an instant, the highest bliss that earth could give, though conscious all the while that the bliss was hollow, the imagination of it fleeting ! The secret of her unhappiness is that although ostensibly free, she is really fettered; whilst neither of her parents have sufficient force of character to thoroughly sympathise with or aid her. One result of her position is, that she receives an offer from a Captain Denbigh, whom she is forced to refuse. He hurried from the room, and left Beatrice sitting, resting her arms on the table, her head bowed over them. She was wretched and humiliated. She had misled—if not wilfully, yet thoughtlessly —a man whose generous for bearance overwhelmed her with shame. Be might forgive her ; but she could not forgive herself. Her love of amusement and excitement had led to this. Oh ! that the last two months could be blotted out of her life I Better the blank gloom she had endured before, than the feverish pleasure which had ended thus, in sorrow and disappoint ment to another—in dissatisfaction to herself. She had sought to catch a fleeting shadow, forgetting that what were shadows to her might be realities to others. Beatrice did not know how long she had been absorbed in her own thoughts, when a footstep in the room made her raise her head. It was her father's ; and his glance, as she met it, was fixed upon her in agitation and displeasure. " Beatrice ! what i s th e ma tt er ?" " Nothing, papa ;" and s h e b egan, i n con f us ion, to open her desk. " There is something," said Mr. Clyde, drawing a chair to the writi ng t a bl e, an d s i tt i ng d own e xactly opposite to her, " and I can guess w h a t it i s. I met Captain Denbigh as I came through the lodge-gates. I asked why he was not staying luncheon, and received scarcely any answer.
