O N TRUE and FALSE SPERIVIATORRIICEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of. Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature, This is the first time, he informs um. that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."--London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrluea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de- Fcribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so lone upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

THE MURDER - IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER. Yesterday morning we announced to our. readers the fact of an atrocious murder having been com mitted at a small and peaceful village known as North Nibley, in Gloucestershire. The little villagv above named was much agitated throughout the day, and many strangers interested in the melan choly event found their way to the place, where everything otherwise appeared gloomy. Sheppard, it appea's; after shooting Miss Smitham, proceeded to a cowhouse in the neighbourhood and attempted his own destruction ; but in consequence of the barrel of the gun being rather long, he was obliged to lean over on one side to get at the trigger, the result of which was that his left cheek and eye were blown away, but-strange to say he lived up to one o'clock on ilonday. Early on that morning an inquest was opened by William Gaisford, Eq., county coroner, at the White Hart, on the body of Ann Smitham, and evidence to the following effect were adduced : James Smitham, weaver, said—l live at North Nibley, in the county of Gloucester. The decased, my daughter, was 23 years of age. On Saturday evening last she was standing in my kitchen, close to a round table near the window, sewing. There was a lighted candle on the table in front of her, and between her and the window. I was at work at my loom in the shop adjoining the kitchen, the door of which was open. I saw her take the candle off the table and go to the window, where there was a white curtain drawn the whole length of the window, There is a win dow in the shop, which had no curtain to it, and any person looking through the window could have seen the deceased standing at the table. I saw my daughter move aside in the farthest corner on the left-hand side, and heard her say, "Thou beest there, bee'snt ? I have caught thee." I heard her mother say, " Is that Sheppard ?" and she said, " Aye, 'tis." I said, "It doesn't seem to matter what weather it is, rain or wind, or what not, he's ibout." She said, " Not a bit ;" and letting the curtain fall back again, returned to her work and put the candle on the table. She was standing in rather a leaning position over the table, sewing, with her face towards the kitchen window. I then heard the report of a gun outside and close to the kitchen window, nbout three or four minutes after she had returned from the window. She screamed out, and I got up instantly from my loom and went towards her. Her mother came up first, and she was in the act of falling when I approached. She never spoke. I observed blood coming from her mouth, and I then went for my son, who was at Mr. Perrett's, just above. There were no other persons in the house but my wife, grandson, the deceased, and myself. It was very dark, and rain ing a little. I did not look to see who was outside the window and had discharged the gun. When I got back to the house I found the deceased lying down in the kitchen. She gasped once, and died within ten minutes from the time I heard the gun fired. I examined the window, and found a small pane broken on the left side. Mrs. Smitham, the mother of the deceased, was next called, and after corroborati ng muc h of the testimony given by her husband, she said—My daughter had kept company for four years pre viously to last Christmas with John Sheppard. She had wished to give up his company long before, but he would never take no for au answer. I have my self times out of number, told him she should not think anything of him, for she should have no prospect but the Union before iter, and she would never give up her home for such a cha racter as him. Last Christmas he came to my house and inquired for her. She had gone from home to an uncle's to avoid him. I told him she was not at home, and he said he would see her if he went to for her. Ido not remember that I have spoken to him but once since last Friday. The time I allude to was last Whitsuntide, when he came about the middle of the day, deceased and I being then at home. He came to the kitchen, Where she was standing, and said he wanted to now her mind. The witness here detailed a con versation, in which the deceased said she would have nothing more whatever to do with him, and described biin as a worthless piece of humanity. Witness produced several letters, which were proved to be in Sheppard's handwriting, and which were couched in threatening terms. Daniel Ford, a constable, said—From informa tion I received from the father of the deceased I went in search of John Sheppard, but I could not find any trace of him during the whole of the night. A little before eight o'clock on Sunday morning I went to Slade's orchard, near Zipporah Trotman's, and there saw Sheppard lying on his back, about 15 yards from a shed, his head incli ning down hill. The left cheek of his face ap peared to have been blown clean away. He was bleeding a little, and there was a quantity of con gealed blood around the wound. His clothes were much saturated with blood. His hat was lying about ten yards from him, and was not injured. I spoke to him, but he made no reply, as he did not appear to be sensible. There was,a quantity of straw in the shed and a pool of blood in it, and there was much blood in different places in the shed and upon the door-posts. Outside there were marks on the door of a person's knee having been against it. Directly underneath the straw I found the single barrel gun produced, smeared with blood, and indicating that it had been recently discharged. I removed Shep pard upon a hurdle to the White Hart Inn and searched him. In the jacket pocket I found a pow der-flask containing powder. In one of the waist coat pockets there were some coppers and two pieces of gun wadding. In his trousers pocket was a canvass bag containing some shot of the same size and sort as that found under the deceased and taken from her. He was kept warm, and had medical assistance ; he became sensible, asking several times for toast and water. He made no allusion whatever to Ann Smitham. The coroner then summed up the evidence, and The jury without any hesitation found a verdict of " Wilful murder" against John Sheppard. It was then made known that Sheppard had died during the holding of the inquest on the body of Smithatu, as appears by Ford's evidence. The jury were accordingly sworn in the second easy, and the evidence police-constable Ford being read over, and Mr. Hill, surgeon, attributing the cause of death to the effect of a gun-shot wound inflicted by Sheppard himself, a verdict of felo de se was returned. Is Co NSITIIP TION INCURABLE ? Invalids labouring under Consumptive MaUdies, and families who have suffered frem the ravages of Consumptio i (and what family in the empire is there who has not to deplore a loss caused by this scourge of the human race ?) will find a satisfactory answer to the question, " Is Consumption In curable," in an original article by Dr. DENIS Cnoxix, M.D., 35, Bruton-Street, Berkeley -square, W. Published in the "household Physician," in numbers, one penny each by G. Berger, 19, liolywell-street, Strand. From Ito 9 now ready. On Wednesday next a vast cliane-e in the postal communications between Europe and America will come into operation. The arrangements connected with this change have been a subject of negotiation for some time between the lion. Sidney S m ith, Postmaster-General of Canada, and the Hon. Mr. King, Postmaster-General 'of the United* States. For the purpose of completing them, and of obtain ing the sanction of the British Post-office authori ties, Mr. Smith, accompanied by Mr. Griffin, the Deputy Postmaster-General of Canada, has been in England during the last fortnight. The requisite sanction was obtained oti Friday last, and, com mencing this week, the Canadian line of steamers will carry lettere net wily between Great Britain and _Britieh America, but also between Europe arid' , the 'whole of the Western; North West ern, and a considerable portion, of the South Western States of the American Union. In fact, these steamers will practically perferna the postal service forinerly performed by the Collins line of United States mail steamers, with= this advantage, that, whereas the latter only ran once a fortnight from each side of the Atlantie t the Canadian steamers will run once a week. The steamer which is to leave Liverpool on the 30th• will call at Queenstown on the following day, and henceforth every Canadian steamer will make Queenstown a part of call both on the outward and homeward voyages, so that the steamers of this line will call there 104 times per annum. Hitherto the latest period at which letters for conveyance by these steamers could be posted in Lon don, or throughout England, was Tuesday _evening, but for the future there will be a clear gain of 24 hours inasmuch as all letters posted throughout Great Bri tain on Wednesday will beforwarded by that night's mail to Dublin. According to present postal arrange ments they should arrive there about 10 a.m. on Thursday. This is an hour after the ordinary day mail for Cork has left Dublin. The Post-office department has, therefore, entered into an arrangement with the 'directors of the Great Southern and Western of Ireland to run a special train from Dublin to Ccrk. It is to start at 11 a.m., and to run the whole distance (166 miles) in four hours and a half. The terminus of the railway at Cot-k is only a few steps from the River Lee. The mails (and the pas sengers who accompany them) 'will reach in a few minutes the river steamer in readiness for their reception. From this point to Queenstown, a dis tance of about ten miles, they will be conveyed in a little lass than an hour, so that the mails can be put on board the transatlantic steamer at or about . 4.30 p.m. As the average hour of sailing of the mail steam ships from Liverpool is 1 p.m., and as the run from that port to Queenstown (about 315 nautical miles) usually requires about 26 hours, there is but little chance, even under the most favourable circumstances, 'of the transatlantic steamer being in Queenstown in advance of the mail despatched from London on the evening of the day she left Liverpool. But on the Ist of July next the accelerated pos tal communication bet ween Dublin and London will come into operation. From that date letters posted in London for the evening despatch onWed nesday will be in:Dublin at 7.20 a.m. the following.. day. If despatched for Cork by special express train at 8 a.m., they will reach that city at half-past 12 p m., and' QUeenstowa at 2 p.m. In September, 1860, the branch railway from Cork to Queenstown will be completed, and as it will form a direct con tinuation of the railway from Dublin to Cork, this distance can be accomplished in 20 minutes, and the delivery of the . mails on board the Canadian steamer can be completed by 1 p.m., giving a gain of nearly fain- hours over present arrangements. It will thus be seen that by these arrangements there will be a clear gain for the correspondence between Europe and' America of 2t hours at pre sent, and about 28 from September next. As regards telegraphic intelligence there will be a gain of two days, inasmuch as the steamer will not leave Queenstown until an hour late enough on Thursday afternoon to receive the prices of the British and continental funds, as well as the state of the cotton, flour, and other markets of that day. As the arrangements for telegraphing all over the American continent to and from Father. Point (150 miles below Quebec) are now complete, it follows, taking the average speed of the Canadian steamers into account, that telegraphic communication from Europe to America can thus be kept up in eight days The news by this medium will almost inva riably be known on the American continent on the Friday, and its effect can be noted in the commer cial correspondence by the steamers leaving both. Quebec and New York on the following day (Sa turday). The following are the distances from Queenstown: —To New York, 2,680 nautical miles; to Boston, 2,490; to Portland, 2,450; to Quebec, 2,202. But the voyage from Europe to Quebec not only posesses the advantage of being muclashorter than to any of the other ports, but for more than one-third of its length it is within the smooth waters of the gulf and river of St. Lawrence. By this route land is only lost sight of between five and six days. By the others it is not visible except for a few hours after departure and before arrival. The navigation of the St. Lawrence being closed in winter by ice, the Canadian steamers go to and from Portland, the port nearest to Europe after Quebec. The entire completion of the Grand Trunk Rail way of Canada and the opening of the Victoria bridge enable the directors to establish a system of continuous trains between Quebec and Portland with and of the l a tt er t o Chi cago 1;131 Chicago. The distance of th e f ormer to Ch i cago is l ,007 The iniles speed of th ese tra i ns, i nclud i ng all miles. stoppages, is 23 miles an hour, consequently the remaining time between Chicago and Quebec will Ptl be Portland hours, and between Chi cago 4 d 4 50 ours. It is mainly in consequence of this continuous system o f t r a i ns wor ki ng i n di met ,connection with th e C anad i an steamers that the United States Governm en t h as entere d i nto the ando treaty with the Imperial and Canadian Post-offices for the transmission of the mails between Europa and the Western, North Western, and South-Wes tern States of the American Union. By means of this connection there will be a saving of three days in each direction, for the immense correspondence of these 'regions, which comprise thousands of square miles of as rich and as productive land as there is in any part of the world. The Canadian steamer, will, on the return voyage, start on each Saturday. In summer she may be expected in Queenstown on Monday with a telegraphic summary of all important matters from every part of the Ameri• can continent occurring durims business hours on the . previous Saturday week, and. her mails can be delivered in London and throughout England on "Wednesday morning, so as to enable replies to be sent by that evening's post, for the steamer that calls at queenstown on Thursday. In winter she will usually reach Queenstown on Tuesdays, when her telegraphic news will at once be circulated, and its arrival can at all events be noted in the correspondence -of Wednesday. The dater the week (Wednesday) on which the Canadian steamers start from Liverpool on their outward voyages, in connection with their calling at Queenstown, .gives. them an advantage for the commercial community not possessed by the Cunard ships that leave Liverpool on Saturdays, and call at Queenstown on Sundays. This is caused by the fact that Saturday is now becoming a universal half holidry throughout England, and consequently does not afford the same opportunities for large com mercial operations and correspondence as on the other business days of the week, and to this has to be added that the following day being Sun day, there are no markets, an d no prices, either of funds, of flour, or of cotton, to telegraph up to the latest moment previous to the departure of the steamer, Very nearly the same reniaak applies to the Cunard steamer on her arrival at Queenstown, which 'port she will occa sionally reach on Friday evening, but more gene rally on Saturday morning. Her telegraphic sum mary will, of course, be at once circulated ; but even if her letters be forwarded through Ireland imme diately after she comes into port they will arrive in England on Sunday forenoon, and will not be delivered, except in some rare cases, until the fol lowing morning. Two Post-office clerks will be Paced on board each steamer, so that during the homeward voyage the.letter's will be sorted for the different parts of the United Kingdom and of the continent of Eu rope, and at once despatched to their destinations without further manipulation at the Cork Post office. On the outward voyage the game duty will be performed for all parts of Canada. But the letters for Portland, Detroit, and Chicago, which, under the new arrangements, are constituted " exchange offices," by the American authorities, will be deli vered, as made up in England, to the postmasters in those cities, and will be by them distributed in their respective postal districts. It is but justice to the Earl of Elgin, the Post master-General acting with Mr. Rowland Hill on the part of the Imperial Post-office, as well as to the lion.

THE BUILDERS' LOCK OUT. Last night the weekly meeting of the Metropoli tan Trades' Delegates was held at Shaftesbury Hall, Aldersgate-street—Mr. M‘Lauchlan, delegate from the Type-founders' Society, in the chair. Although the evening was very wet and disagreeable there was a large attendance of delegates. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the business, said he was not aware of any material alteration in the position of the parties in this struggle; but it ap peared to him that they were bound under the cir cumstances to stand more closely together, shoulder to shoulder, than they had ever done. The question at issue had narrowed itself more and more dis tinctly. It was now simply whether trades' unions should exist or not, and upon that point they must concentrate all their energies. Mr. POTTER, Secretary to the Conference, said that the chairman had truly told them that there was little alteration in the state of affairs. What change had taken place was in fact of an unfavour able character. Many of the employers who had induced, by means of their foremen, workmen to enter their employment upon the non-presentation of the decument, had, within the last week turned round and demanded that the workmen should agree to the declaration. In some cases the men had refused to do so, but seeing that they had most of them been out of work sixteen weeks, it was no wonder that some were disheartened and disposed to accept work on any terms. Seeing this was the case, the Conference had passed a resolution that any member of the building trades should be at liberty to accept employment where the "document" was not presented individually. That resolution, he believed, had given general satisfaction, and, he hoped, would lead to the re-employment of many now " locked out." (Hear.) He regretted to say that, in the course of that day, an attack had been made upon the delegates from the Conference, who were deputed to pay the labourers at the Mitre. One result of which they saw in the torn coat before them (pointing to a very dilapi dated garment at the back of the platform). The police had been called upon to interfere, but had declined to do so, and the money in the possession of the delegates had actually been carried'off by force. Their great difficulty all along had been with the labourers, and now the time had come when it would be necessary to take 'a different course. The first step taken by the Conference was to reduce the dividend this week to 3s. Gd. to skilled artisans, and 2s. Gd. to labourers ; but there was this explanation, that the various skilled trades had discontinued their payments of one-third of their levies into the general fund, and thus, though there would be a nominal decrease to the skilled artisans on the general dividend, there would, in fact, be an increase. The Conference, however, had been sub jected to such annoyance, disturbance, and danger recently, that it had been determined to remove from the Paviors' Arms to a more private and more accessible office, for really business purposes, and he hoped that change would have the approval of the delegates. (Hear.) On the whole, he regretted to say that there was so little prospect of the speedy settlement of this dispute, that they had been compelled to take these steps with respect to the labourers. In fact, life was not safe under the cir cumstances. They had been again and again de frauded by the labourers; and, seeing that there was no chance of satisfying the demands of the labourers, they had resolved to discontinue all pay ments in future. The number of artisans and labourers paid the dividend last week was about 5,000, and the sum was about £BOO. Several questions were put by delegates with respect to the charges made against the labourers, which were answered in detail, the general effect of which went to establish the charge of gross fraud in many ;nstances, and in some of violent and brutal treatment of those deputed to pay the money. In one case it had been discovered that returns had been sent in for one hundred labourers more than were entitled to it ; and, upon the death of the man who got the money and divided a Ss. instead of a 3s. Gd. dividend, his successor did the samey although he could not show the number of claimants formerly fraudu lently represented as being entitled to a share in the funds. The discovery of these frauds had led to the removal of the Conference to a private office from the Paviors' Arms, where the lives of the members of the Conference were in danger ; and unprotected as they were by the police, they were hound to take the best means in their power to save themselves. The labourers had at all times consti tuted nearly one-half of the whole number paid from the general fund, and as the labourers paid little or nothing to that fund, it was necessary to leave them to their own resources. One shilling a week from the labourers who were in work would be amply,suflicient to pay all those who were out. These explanations appeared to satisfy the dele gates, with the understanding that the whole ques tion was under the consideration of a special com mittee. A motion recommending the Conference to dis continue pay ing the labourers was discussed for some time, but ultimately it was agreed to leave,the decision with the Conference, to which the del Tates passed a vote of confidence. The subscriptions (including £5O from the boiler makers and iron shipbuilders, and £2O from the pianoforte makers) amounted to about £l3O. During the last two days the contributions re ceived from the Iwovinees in aid of the lock-out fund by the Conference has been about £l5O. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings last night. The plaintiff claimed damages upon the ground that the defendant had assaulted him, and had also broken some furniture. The plea was not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Giffard, and Mr. Lap worth appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Sergeant Parry for the defendant. Mr. Sergt. Shoe said, that the plaintiff was a gentle man in independent circumstances, and he resided at Ditton, iu Surrey, wherele kept a small establish ment; he - and his mother living together. The defendant was a gentleman who personally and in respect of family and profession was most respect able ; he was a surgeon practising in the village of Ditton. He had been there but a short time, having succeeded to the practice of Mr. Garrett, who had for many years been the medical attendant of the plaintiff and his mother. When Mr. Garratt retired ho introduced the defendant to his patients, and since then he had been the regular medical atten dant of the plaintiff's mother. When the defendant married two or three years ago, he . sent cards to the plaintiff, and they visited occasionally at one another's . houses, though they never' became inti mate. The plaintiff Very seldom had occasion to go to the defendant's except to get some prescrip tion for his mother, to pay a bill, or to ask for a church -rate, he being the minister's churchwarden. For some time previbusly to July last there was something in the manner of the defendant which excited the plaintiff's surprise, though the feeling did not break out into actual incivility, nor did it prevent the defendant from attending at the plain tiff's house. About half-past seven in the evening, on the 11th July, he went to the plaintiff's, and having, in an excited manner, said something about the plaintiff having ruined the peace of his (defen dant's) family, committed the violent assault which would be detailed in the plaintiff's evidence. The learned sergeant concluded by saying that there was not the slightest pretence for uttering the words which the defendant had made use of. Tlie plaintiff was a gentleman 65 years old, and he challenged the fullest inquiry into his conduct in relation to the defendant or to any member of his family ' • and he defi e d th e d e f en d an t t o sugges t any reasonable or possible, or even fanciful, ground for the words that be had uttered. Mr. Joseph Gillett,. the plaintiff, said—l have lived at Ditton for 23 years, and have been 15 years a guardian of the poor, and four years minister's churchwarden. My mother is 89 years old, and I am in my 65th year. The defendant is probably 33 or 34, and he was married two or three years ago. After he was married I called on him and we ex changed visits two or three times. For a few months before July last the defendant did nut. 'seem so fami liar as he used to be, but I was not aware of any reason for it. Oa the 11th July I was employed in my garden and I saw the defendant coming across the Green. I went through the back of the house and told the servant to go and let him in. Before I got to the door he had rung the bell, and I went to the door and met him. I offered to shake hands but he did not do so. He said he would speak to my mother, and he went into the dining-room and shook hands with her. He came out and at once pushed me into the drawing-room, and shut the door. He said, " What do you mean by watching me about ?" I said I had not watched him, and asked him what he meant. He raised his stick (a thick one) and struck me on the arm. I thought the arm was broken—it was quite paralysed. I again asked w„h# he meant, and he said, " -- your eyes, you have ruined my home." He struck me on the arm again and also on the side. He knocked over a chair, and he caught his stick in the muslin curtain and tore it, or I should have had it sharper I expect. I received eight or nine blows altogether. I received the blows on my arm because I put it up to save my head, at which the blows were aimed. Afterwards he went into the passage and said to my mother, " I will come to see you at any time, but I won't see that blackguard. The next time I come I will spat ter his brains on those pillars" (meaning the pillars that supported the portico). My mother, notwith standing she was hard of hearing, heard the blows, and she came to the door. She said, "He has not hit you, has he ?" and I said, " Yes, he has." The old lady said, " I wish I had been there, I would have hit him." (Laughter.) I ordered the defendant never to come to the house again. I went to a surgeon, and, after I had waited some.hours for him, he came home and dressed my bruises. It was one in the morning before I got home. I could not sleep that night, nor for one or two nights afterwards. I was so sick, ex cited, and nervous. I sufferpain to this day. I had to carry my arm in a sling for three weeks. Ido not know of any provocation or pretence for this as sault ; not the least in the world. Cross-examined—My house is scarcely a quarter of a mile from the defendant's. I did not under stand, nor do I now understand, my ruining the peace of his family. I said to him, " Good God, I was never in your house when you were not there, I will be on my oath," and he said, "D— your oath, I will not believe you on your oath." There was no bone broken ; but I should have liked you to see my arm—you would not have liked it. It was very much bruised and swollen. A servant maid, who witnessed part of the affair, to that extent corroborated the plaintiff. At this stage of the 'proceedings it was announced that the matter would not be further contested. Mr. Edwin James said, your lordship knows what a very delicate and difficult duty the advocate has at times to discharge. Our client is not here, but some highly respectable gentlemen, friends of his, who had undertaken to attend the court in reference to the matter are present. There can be no doubt a species of almost monomania has affected this gentleman's mind in reference to a notion that his wife has been guilty of infidelity with the plaintiff; and, indeed; it was not until we had the opportu nity of a consultation that we could do anything to remove the impression from his mind ; but he has now placed the matter entirely in the hands of the learned sergeant and myself, and, under the cir cumstances, I feel that we are discharging our duty to him in expressing his deep regret for what has occurred, for the insult, and I may say the outrage that he has committed on Mr. Gillett ; and in hoping that our persuasions and that of his friends have removed from his, mind that impression which was most deeply implanted there, that his wife had committed herself with Mr. Gillett, for which there is not the slightest foundation—it is a perfect delusion. The Lord Chief Justice—This is a very satisfac tory termination. A verdict was entered for the plaintiff by consent —damages, £lOO. POLICE LVT:ELLIGENCE, Nov. 29. MANSION-HQUSE.—John Herbert and John Brown were charged with burglariously breaking into the Tower Shades public-house, Tower-street, and stealing therefrom the whcle of the pewter fit tings of the bar, a bottle of rum, a bottle of gin, and sundry other articles, the property of Mr. S. Ben nett, licensed victualler. Police-constalie 563 said he was on duty in Tower street that morning,, about half-past three, and as he passed the Tower Shades, he heard a noise in the house. The noise continued until the footsteps of another constable could be heard, when it stopped, but recommenced on the sounds receding. He watched for some minutes, and saw a man's head peeping round the door. He said, " I am waiting for you, my man," and sprung his rattle, which brought Sergea n t Fisher and two other constables to the spot. He found the door open, and on en tering the house be saw the prisoner Herbert hiding behind a table. He took him to the station, and on searching him, found a pair of sugartongs and a small silver watchkcy. On going back to the house, he found the pewter fittings of the ltar, a bottle of gin, a quantity of rum in a bottle, about a pound of tobacco, three pounds of cheese, and several other things, packed up all ready for removal. Samuel Bennett said—l live in the hduse of the Shades Tavern, and rent the tap of Mr. Carpenter, the landlord. The prisoner was in my employ about two months ago, as potman, under the name of Evans. About a month ago I told him never to come into my place again, and I have not seen him since. Brown was in the bar last night, and I let him out about half-past 12 ; after which I went round and fastened all 'up. I am certain I fastened the door, which the constable found open. I then went to bed, and was awoke by the constable about half past three this morning, and on coming down stairs I found the pewter lining of the bar removed, and packed up on the table. The tobacco, gin, and rum I believe to be my property. The damage done to the bar I should say is about £6. Sergeant Fisher said, this morning he heard the first witness spring his rattle, and went to his assistance. He went into the bar of the ghades, and found the prisoner Brown in the act of undo ing the bar of one of the side doors, in order to effect his escape. He took him into custody, when BOW-STREET.—Henryßillingbn was brought up on remand, charged with creating a disturbance in king-street, Westminster, and annoying thewit nesses who had been examined on the appeal in a case arising out of the strike. Mr. Abrams appeared for the defence. The complainant, Mr. Rubjohn, said he had not been molested since the formtr hearing (on Tuesday of last week), and he did nit think the prisoner had any malice against him. No doubt the prisoner had yielded to the excitement of the moment, and would not do anything of the sort again. He hoped the magistrate would take a favourable view of the case, and would consider the week's imprisonment he had undergone a sufficient punishment, ' Mr. Jardine—ls there any further evidence ? Sergeant Tenfold said inquiries had been made about the prisoner,and it had been ascertained that he was at work up to the day when he was taken into custody. He bore an excellent character. Mr. Abrains said the prisoner was not a member of the society, arid had really no reeling in -the question. Unfortunately he was in the neighbour hood, and being ignorant of the law he was foolish enough to take part in the distill barley. He was not a leader or ringleader, though Mr. Rohjohn ap peared to imagine that he was. Mr. Jardine thought it very probable that this was the true view of the ease. It was very likely that the prisoner had acted from the excitement of the moment, and that he would not have led others on to do what was wrong, if ha hail not found others doing the same. He could not help being struck with the previous good character of the pri soner, and he placed considerabl e re li ance on the recommendation of Mr. Robjohn. He hoped Mr. Robjohn was right in believing that this absurd fermentation was over. But he hoped the leniency he should show towards the prisoner would not be misinterpreted ; that no one would imagine they might commit such offences with impunity, if Mr. Robjohn had said that he still had reason - to fear attack or annoyance, he (Mr. Jardine) would have made the prisoner find heavy bail, or would have committed him for trial. As the case stood, he should be satisfied with °reeving him to enter into his own reeognisanees for £oo to keep the peace for six months. CLERKENWELL.— SERIOUS CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST THE WIFE OF A CLERGYMAN. —Jemima Eliza Rogers, the wife of the Rev. Jahn Foster Rogeis, of Winchester, - was charged before Mr. Come with feloniously intermarrying with John George William Paul, her husband being then and still slive. Mr. Sleigh, barrister, attended for the prosecu tion. The prisoner was married to her first husband about 30 years ago in Ireland, and in September, ISSB, married quite a young man at St. Pancras church. This and other facts coming to the Rev. Mr. Rogers' knowledge, proceedings were instituted in the Divorce Court, and on Monday last a decree of dissolution of marrive was pronounced. The prisoner had been in custody about a month. Mr. Sleigh said that as a decree of dissolution of marriage had been pronounced, and taking into con sideration the painful fact, that the prisoner had been the inmate of a lunatic asylum, he on the part of the prosecution did not wish to go further into the case, and with his worship's permission would not offer any further evidence. Mr. Corrie, under the circumstances, allowed that course to be adopted, and the prisoner was dis charged. THE _RECENT MUTf2VY ON BOARD .H.M.S. PRINCESS ROYAL: The procedings in this case were resumed yester day morning on board the Victory in Portsmouth harbour. On the opening of the Court the defences of the prisoners were read to the Court by the De puty Judge-Advocate. The prisoners all denied having taken any part in the disturbance ; the pri soner Harvey also pleaded ignorance of what took place, from the effects of drink. Several witnesses were called for the defence, but no facts of import ance were elicited. The Court closed at noon to consider its finding, and remained closed until six p.m., when it was again opened, and the finding read by the Deputy Judge-Advocate. The Court found the fourth charge not proved against the whole of the prisoners; found the pri soners Henry Randall. James Smith, Robert Thaley, and Charles Cook, guilty on the first/second, and third charges; found the prisoners John Earley, John Wilson, and John Harvey guilty on the third charge; and, after giving their most careful atten tion to the evidence, the Court, in consideration of the peculiar circumstances of the case, only sen tenced Henry Randall, Ja mes S m ith, and Robert Thurley to 18 months' imprisonment in Winches ter gaol, with hard labour • Charles Conk to 12 months' imprisonment in Winchester gaol, with hard labour; John Earley; John Wilson, and John Harvey, to six months' imprisonment in Winches ter gaol, with hard labour; and the Court could not separate without noticing with approbation the conduct of the witness George I-load in remaining under the sentries when released from irons in the fore cockpit. (Road was found guilty a few days since of an assault on the Second Master of the Princess Royal, and sentenced to receive 48 lashes, to lose all pay, and undergo two years' imprison ment. No part of this sentence has, however, been yet carried out.) The following are the charges on which the pri soners were tried : Ist. For makinc , a mutinous assembly ; 2d, f or ,endeavouring to do so; 3d, for being present at a mutiny on board the Princess Royal, and not using their endeavours to suppress the same ; and, 4thly, for disobeying the lawful commands of their supe rior officers when the drum had beaten to quarters, and not going on the upper deck when the well disposed men were piped to do so. The Court would again assenible on board the Victory this morning to proceed with the other cases. ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH REVOLUTION.- Yesterdey being the 29th anniversary of the Polish Revo lution of 1830-31, a funeral service, for the repose of those who fell in that and other national struggles, was performed by the Rev.

In the c ourse o f th e d ay a numerous meet ing of the Polish refugees was held at Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's, under the presidency of Colonel 11. Wierciuski, who, in a long speech, gave a histori cal sketch of the sufferings of the Polish nation, and of the uriquenchable spirit of patriotism and devotion which pervades every member of it, as well es the hope of seeing Poland restored to her former independence, encouraging his countrymen to bear with patience and resignation their muck protracted rule. Mr. N. F. Zaba, Major Zulewski, Mr. Stokowiski, and. several other gentlemen also addressed the meeting, which. expressed a hope that the rights of Poland . will not bo for gotten at the approaching Congress of . the European. Powers, by whom they were guaranteed in so sDlemn and decisive a manner After a vote of thanks to the chairiaan the meeting separated.

Mary Stareley, a precocious -looking, showily dressed girl, only 15 years of age, and said' to. be respectably connected, was charged with stealing a pair of sugar-tongs, value 35., the property of Mr. S. King, colonial Dining-rooms, Gracechurch-street. On Monday afternoon she went to the prosecu tor's, called for a cup of tea, drank it, and was leav ing, when the sugar-tongs, which were electro plated, were missed from the table at which she had been sitting. She was followed and asked whether she knew anything about them, and in reply immediately produced them from her pocket, at the same time saying she was very sorry she had taken them, but that she had done so because she took a fancy to them, and knew they would please her mamma and the children. The prose cutor, however, gave her into custody, and 'upon her being searched at the station-house a sum of £166 10s. was found in her pockets, in gold and notes. This money, she said, she had obtained upon a cheque with which she had been sent to the bank by a relative; and the police, ascertaining at the bank that she had cashed a cheque there as stated, at once communicated with her friends. The prosecutor did not wish to press the charge with severity, and it was agreed that she should be summarily dealt with. When asked what she had to say to the charge, she replied, "I am very sorry, but I have two little brothers at horn°, who have a mall set of tea things, which I thought the tongs would complete ; and make my litt:e brothers pleased, and so I took them."
