711 E NAVE. .1.1..... , P.m Shannon, 34, 'screw frigate, Capt. Oliver J. JOT les, sailed from ,pithead yesterday afternoon on h(.l. Mediterranea cruise, leaving under sail and steam by the W extern Channel. The Rattler,, 17, screw, Commander Howard, sailed from Sp ithead at the same time as the Shan non, also under sail and steam, and leaving the anchorage by the same route. She is bound to China, and t a k es out a few supernumeraries for dis posal of the flagship on the station. The Ed gar, 86, screw, Capt. Hon. F. F. Foley, flagship of Rear Admiral Sidney Colpoys Dacres, C. 8., crossed lower and topsail yards at Portsmouth yestr2relay in progress of refit for service in the Me di terranean. The Nimrod, screw despatch vessel, sold by the Lords of Admiralty to the Chimese Government,had her boilers and part of her machinery taken out in file steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday for over haul and repair. The - v - essel herself will be towed down to Cowes for rfJpair and outfit at the building yard of Mr. J. Wh3:te. Workmen have commenced re-building the cut down deck ar.d sides of the Royal Sovereign shield ship at Por*Ar.nouth, according to plans submitted by Capt. voles, R.N. This alteration will do away with . thr.J sheer at present existing fore and aft, and will gr ye her a r a i se d centra l deck with sloping sides suff ic,ient to allow of the necessary depression being gl .v en to the guns in her towers, or, at least, with , F much depression as can be expected to be ob ti lined with a razeed ship of a breadth of beam so 'utterly unsuitable for carrying central gun-towers as is the Royal Sovereign. The Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, Capt. Wain w right, is appointed to leave Portsmouth harbour for Spithead this morning, if there should be suffi cient, depth of water. She, however, draws now 26ft. 'lin. of water aft, and the tides being un usually dead, she may not possibly go out until t J-morrow. It would be a gain if the ship were kept alongside th© dockyard until the various jobs which require finishing are out of hand, as work which could be done in 24 hours alongside the yard would occupy a week at Spithead, owing to the time lost pt the latter place in conveying workmen and material to and from the dockyard. The :team yacht Osborne, Capt. Bower, arrived in L7-cv erpool yesterday morning, having on board RcaT-Admiral Sir F. W. Grey, Capt. Eden, C. 8., Lind Mr. Whitbread. The Osborne is on the annual voyage of inspection, and will sail from the Mersey 'to-day. In accordance with Admiralty orders received at Chatham dockyard, the Sirius, fifth-rate, target ship, the Sultan, receiving ship, the Champion 'sloop, forme:ly used as a police vessel at Ports- i mouth, ani. the Griper, employed on the Coastguard service at Chichester harbour, are to be immediately brok'an up by a body of hired shipwrights, who ha-,re been entered for that purpose. The iron-plated target which has been constructed at Chatham dockyard to be used in the approach ing trials with the large Horsfall gun, was on Tuesday successfully shipped on board a transport to be desp a t c h e d t o Shoeburyness, where it i s t o b e erected under the superintendence of the officials from the Master Shipwright's Department at Chatine.m. A number of shipwrights and labourers have been specially sent from the dockyard to place it i.n its required position, Just before the target was slai pped one of the 41- inch plates, on being subjected V, a close examination, disclosed a slight flaw, but, 'as the fracture was found to be close to the edge of the plate, it was not deemed of sufficient importance to delay the forwarding of the target. The trans port, with the target on board, left the harbour yesterday morning. The monster gun will be landed from the vessel in which it will be despatched from Chatham by a number of men of the Royal Artillery, but the operation is likely to be attended with some difficulty, owing to the great weight of the gun—between 20 and 30 tons—and the absence of the proper appliances at Shoeburyness. The day of the trials has not yet transpired. An additional number of shipwrights and la bourers was yesterday placed on the iron -cased fri gate Royal Oak, under construction at Chatham dockyard, in order to expedite the completion of that vessel in readiness for her Mune}, been fixed to tulle Dime Dept. 10. The galleries erected at the head of the slip, for the accommoda 'dation of spectators to witness the launch, were completed yesterday. Every exertion is now being used to have the frigate completed in time for the launch. The efforts of the mechanics and workmen are devoted to the decks and other interior portions of the vessel. The work of plating the frigate pro ceeds as rapidly as circumstances will permit, two TOWS of the 41-inch armour-plates having been already affixed to her port and starboard sides, the third tier of plates being likewise nearly all in their place. During the last few days, however, the opera'iion of plating has been temporarily suspended. Before being razed, altered, and lengthened, the Royal Oak, like her sister ships, the Ocean, Royal Alfred, Caledonia, and Prince Consort, under con struction at the other Royal dockyards, was de signed as a two-decker, mounting 101 guns. She was subsequently altered to a 50-gun frigate ; but it is probable she will not mount more than 34 broadside and pivot guns, all of which, however, will be capable of throwing the heaviest metal. On her main deck it is intended to place eight of the new 110-pounder naval Arm strong guns and 2410-inch and GB-pounder smooth bore guns. On the upper deck, the ports of which 'will he closed, she will mount two of tie 110- pounder Armstrong pivot guns. She will also carry three smaller Armstrougs for her boats and launches, including a 30-pounder, 12-pounder, and one of 61b, together with the usual number of brass guns. The fitting of the iron beams, funnel hatches, storerooms, and other portions of the iron work is all done by shipwrights connected with the establishment, there b eing but few hired mechanics employed on the 4) -Tal Oak, and those engaged ch'efly in superin tending the preparation of the armour-plates in the ' team factory adjoining the shed under which the cssel is building. She is to be provided with a spare tiller, and also two bridges, one of which, if found practicable, will be placed before the funnel. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiral ty;--Lieut. Mather Byles, to the Excellent ; henry G. Swainson, master to the Rattlesnake : F. A. Gardner, F. Echlin, and Thomas James, midshipmen, to the Argus ; Peter 'Wood, chief engineer, to the , - Rattl esna k e ; F. 'Wheeler and F. C.

Yesterday a field day, rather unlike the usual movements of the division at Aldershot, took place in the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, General Commanding-in-Chief, and a brilliant staff. Shortly after 7 o'clock every regi ment—ordered to be as strong as possible—paraded and marched off to the common facing the South Camp, where they were formed up, the infantry in front in contiguous column of brigades with the cavalry and artillery in close column of squadrons in rear. His Royal Highness and staff arrived shortly after 9 o'clock, and was received with the customary honours. A grand sham fight, lasting nearly three hours, followed, the division having a uppositious enemy to encounter of superior strength and posted in a highly advant ageous position. The sight was a very fine one, and was witnessed by a large number of spectat ors. A t the conclusion of the day's manoeuvres the reg imen ts march e d past as usual, and at half-past 1 o'clock returned to their quarters, after having been under arms upwards of six hours. The whole of the movements were under the command of the Duke in person. There were present 11 infantry and five cavalry regiments, with three batteries of Royal Horse Artillery, and four field batteries—a total of nearly 12,00 The inspection of the Chatham division of Royal Marines Light Infantry by Major-Gen. Stranebain, newly -appointed Inspector-General of that branch of the service, which has extended over three days, was resumed yesterday. In the morning General Stransham, attended by his aide-de-camp, and ac companied by some members of the divisional staff, visited. Chatham Barracks, occupied by the troops of the line, a portion of which has been set apart for the Royal Marines, in consequence of the crowded state of the Marine Barracks. The Inspector-Gen. was shown over the portion of the barracks given over to the Marines, and spent a short time in the inspection of the barrack rooms, which were found in a generally clean and orderly condition. At 10 o'clock the officers and men of the division were assembled in front of their quarters, under the command of Col. Lemon, C. 8., when the companies were formed into three battalions, under the respec tive commands of Col. W. H. Marsh, Second Com mandant, Lieut.-Col. S. N. Lowder, and Lieut.-Col. W. F. Foote, with Major Ellis, as Brigade-Major, the entire division numbering 800 bayonets. The battalions were then marched to the Great Lines, where, under the direction of Major-Gen. Stransham, the officers and men were put through a variety of movements incidental to a brigade field day by Col. Lemon. All of these were effected with that stea diness and precision which characterise the field movements of this branch of the service, the Inspec tor-General frequently giving expression to com mendatory remarks or. the excellent manner in which the battalions executed the mancevres of the day- The officers and men returned to their quarters at 5 , o'clock, and the inspection of the Chatham Division was brought to a c l ose yester d ay a f ternoon - From the satisfactory manner in which Major-General inspec tion Stransham has expressed himself during h it is believ e d th e re p or t t o the Admiralty will be flattering. It is stated that the fort which has been erected on the Mumbles Rock in Swansea Bay is not in a condition to withstand the concussion produced by the firing of the heavy ordnance. This de fence has only been completed within the last 18 months. It mounts three 6 8-pounders and two 10-inch shell guns, and is well supplied with furnaces and the appliances of war. It is built on an island, which is insulated at high tide. It is thought that the action of the waves has worked a number of caverns and hollows in the rock, and that these are likely to prove fatal to the stability of the masonry work ; a large rent I has already a p peare d , and i t i s b elieved that further Practice with the great guns would be very un advisable. 7HE REMARKABLE BREACH OF PRO- MISE AND ITS _RESULTS. THOMAS V. SHIRLEY. The adjourned sitting under the order of refer ence made by Mr. Baron Bramwell, in the action "Thomas v. Shirley," for necessaries supplied to the plaintiff and for debts incurred by her under the authority of General Shirley, for the support of herself, her child, the offspring of the gallant officer, and the nurse, was resumed yester day afternoon, at the Law Institution, before William Patchett, Esq., the arbitrator ; Mr. Lewis, jun. (Lewis and Lewis, Hatton-garden), again attended on behalf of the plaintiff, Miss Annie Rosalie Thomas ; Mr. Pawle, of New inn, Strand, represented General Shirley, who was present during the proceedings. The following letters, having an important bear ing on the case, according to the opening state ment of the learned gentleman (Mr. Lewis, jun.), were read during the proceedings on Tuesday, but not given in the reports that appeared on the fol lowing day : " Brookside Lodge, Rugby, Sunday, June 2, 1861.

Pray write to me here and tell me how you are, and what you have been doing since we parted, and whether you were scolded when you got home, and, in fact, all about yourself, for everything on that subject is now most inte resting to me. I have never met any one in whom I have felt more deeply interested, and the sad and thoughtful look which I sometimes observed in your pensive mood has been ever since present to my mind's eye. I long to see more of you, and to know you better, and to study your thoughts. Shall I ever be able to do so, and will you ever admit me to your confidence and friendship? These are questions I often ask myself, but, of course, am unable to answer. I think all sorts of things of you ; in many, if not in all, of which I dare say lam quite —. I picture to myself your early days, your sufferings at the sad tale of your mother's neglect of you, &c. ; and when I think you must have something even more to bear than that ; for un less I am greatly deceived in you, there has been a wound in your heart even more severe and more deep-seated than grief for a mother or the loss of relatives. I ask you not to tell me, for time alone brings confidence, and without con fidence there can be no warmer and more endearing feeling. I am as yet nearly a stranger to you, and though 1 told you something of myself, it was but a very small portion of all I could tell you of my sufferings, and losses, and disap pointments in this world of woe and bitter trial. I send you something apropos to " the Voice," of which subject I am reminded by your soft and silvery tones, which still seem to haunt my ears. Will you read the enclosed extract and then return it to me, as it is in the handwriting of a very dear old friend, since dead. I hope to see your dear face again on Friday next, on which day I shall be in town, and shall be glad if you can manage to meet me, and if you could so make your plans with your friends in Aberdeen Villas as to leave town with me for Saturday and Sunday, just for a run in the country ; or a trip to the sea side, need I say how happy and delighted I should be of your society, and how much good you would be doing me in distracting me from melancholy thoughts, and in making me forget all the wretched past in the tranquil pleasures of the present, with joyous thoughts for the future and autumn of my existence ? Do this and your kindness and benevolence will never be forgotton.—Yours most affectionately, ARTIIIJR " Brookside, Rugby, Tuesday. " My darling little Annie,—A thousand thanks for yoir kind and welcome letter. I shall hope to see you and to press you again to my heart on Friday next, and pray come and meet me that afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the address I gave you, at 22, Charlotte-street, Portland Tlace, and will take you out in the evening, either to Sydenham or else where, and I hope you will arrange to stay with me, as I previously asked you—till Monday next, at all events, when I may perhaps persuade you to come and see my little place in the country. I will object to no conditions which you may impose upon me, save one, that I may be your con stant, constant and faithful companion whilst you are with me, It is most kind of you to say that you long to know me better, and to study my thoughts more closely. I live such a reserved and secluded life here in the country that I feel at times quite out of this busy world, and really the less I see of it the happier I feel. Pray, write to me to-morrow, and tell me not only all about year dear self, but all your wishes, and all your feelings in regard to me, and then I shall begin to think you really have some affection for me. It makes me happy to hear that you will be faithful to me tiloll tht, for i be assured, you have never been out of my Ptere:l;)ittsvfoor a moment since last we parted, and the swee t writtraleiiur silvery voice are for e ver r i ng i ng i n m y ear . receive it prevent eu a very long letter t o -m orrow , an d I s h a ll eta.

Shirley call e d upon me at Aberdeen-villas more tha n once. On the aecollni d day of his calling, the 24th or 25th of May, an ap pointment was made for us to meet at a music shop in Oxford -street. It was Kirkman's, and it was after leaving the shop that he proposed marriage to me. I did not go to Greenwich to dine with Gen. Shirley on that day. I went a day or two after, and reached home about 10 o'clock that night. Mr. Lewis objected to the course of the exami nation, which was merely a repetition of previous evidence, and The Arbitrator said a great deal had been brought on which did not bear upon the records. Mr. Pawle, however, had better take his own course. Cross-examination continued—l remember meet- gibanim ,~,~~ THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1862. ing Gen. Shirley near the Colosseum, That was after I went down to Southend. I met to arrange with him about leaving Aberdeen-villas. When I met the General at the Fenchurch-street station I thought we were going to Elackwall to dine, and I did not take a box with me containing dresses and a night-dress. I swear that. Gen. Shirley did not on the journey down give me a wedding ring for me to wear, so that people might take me for a married lady. If he should swear that it will be false, but he gave me a wedding-ring the next day. I never while at Rugby had my attention called to a book containing an entry of Gen. Shirley's marriage. The name of the tradesman of Rugby to whom I paid £8 2s. 6d, was Maple, and I did not pay him with money given to me by General Shirley. I pledge my oath to that. Ido not re member stating to General Shirley when I first went to Rugby that I was entirely without money. I had money when I went there. I have the bill for the goods which I obtained at Waterloo House before going to Rugby, and I produce it. The total of my bill is £4O, as I had goods to the amount of £l6 after returning to town from Rugby. [lt was explained here that £9 of the amount of t he £ 4O was incurred by the plaintiff before she knew the defendant, and that she sought to recover only £3l of the amount from General Shirley.] I still adhere to my statement that w hils t at Rugby I re ceived no money from Genera l Shirley. The £3O 1 spoke to yesterday. I put down all I received in a book which General Shirley has. I never had a cheque for £2O, and never received any money after last in May or June, the £lO sent me in a letter. I have not been to Rugby s ince this action was b roug ht. I was there ge-examined by Mr. Lewis—General Shirley did not give me the wedding-ring until after he had effected my ruin, and that was within five days of the day on which he had promised to marry me. That is General Shirley who is in court to-day. I have seen none of my letters since I sent them to General Shirley, but I see a packet of them now lying before Mr. Pawle. By the Arbitrator—The letter in which General Shirley offered to allow me £2 per week was in answer to one I had written after he had told me that he was going to leave England, and that I must do the best I could for myself. Mr. Pawle here put in the following letter, in which plaintiff declined to accept the general's offer of £2 per week : "My dear Arthur,—l wrote hurriedly to save post.. What sad sad trouble you have brought on me. To tear this little darling from me will break my poor aching heart. Do not, I implore you, if you wish me to be your friend, throw me on the wide, wide world penniless. Two pounds a week cannot keep me and the child. All I ask you as a man of feeling, and one in your position, can you expect me to be able to exist on it ? lam willing to do all I can when an opportunity presents itself, but 1 must have the means to do it. I cannot seek a situation without a shilling in my pocket. I ask nothing which is unreasonable. You must not leave me wholly dependent on myself, for I cannot go into any lodging, nor can I go to friends, as every thing would be at once exposed, and I have no wish to injure you if you are kind. The lowest your poor little, dear child can be taken for, to be cared for and properly nursed, is 108. per week, and the nurse will take her for that and include all. And, dear Arthur, you must forgive me when I ask you to let nurse have your written agreement, so that in case of anything happening your dear little child may not be left destitute. " I remain, dear Arthur, your unhappy and ruined, but still affectionate ANNIE." Mr. Lewis—Now that letter is read, I apply for the production of the whole of the correspondence. Mr. Pawle has all the letters by him, and I ask that they may be read. I ask it in the interest of justice and truth, and the letters are held back to prevent this young orphan from obtaining her rights. I charge it as a deliberate attempt upon General Shirley's part— Mr. Pawle (interrupting)—General Shirley is too much of a gentleman to produce-- Mr. Lewis (with great warmth)—Just put him into the box, and we will soon see how much of a gentleman he is. Mr. Pawle (continuing)—Letters which have been written to him by a young lady while he was upon terms of affection with her. Mr. Lewis—l say that the non-production of those imi-prg is a shameful and a false attempt torevent justice being done to tb uillUl (WL., juung may, taw do not hesitate to say that it is a most disgraceful and beggarly one. I do not wish to make any reflections, but in the name of in terest and justice they should be produced. Mr. Pawle—l say that Gen. Shirley is under my advice, and I advise him not to produce them. The Arbitrator—Mr. Pawle has a right to put Gen. Shirley into the box if he pleases, but I must say that for the purposes of this inquiry the letters are not necessary. Mr. Lewis—They are all wanted to prove a con tract. And, besides, we may yet have to go to a court of equity to prove an equitable contract. The Arbitrator—That is another question. Mr. Lewis—Well, I have done my duty, and the suppression of the letters is not my act. The Arbitrator, to Mr. Pawle—Then the letter you have read is the only one you put in ? Mr. Pawle—Yes. The Arbitrator, to Miss Thomas—The letter just read—is that an answer to one in which he had offered you £2 u-week ? Plaintiff—No, to one in which he had offered 10s. a-week, and since I have received that letter I have spent £2 a-week in maintaining myself. Mr Lewis—That is the case for the plaintiff. The Arbitrator—Do you wish, Mr. Pawle, to pro duce any witness? Mr. Pawle—l do not, sir. Mr. Lewis—l am surprised that after Al r. Pawle requested an adjournment of the case for the pur pose of the general's presence, and that now he is present he declines to call him. Mr. Pawle—You wish me to produce him as a witness, so that you may cross-examine him. You can make him a witness : he is here. Mr. Lewis—l do not think that it is of much con sequence, for I believe he is unworthy of belief. Mr. Pawle—l shall appeal to the Arbitrator for protecticn. I will tender him if you will call him as a witness. The Arbitrator—The course is, Mr. Pawle, that he is your witness, and you leave him to be cross examined. Mr. Pawle—l do not tender him for cross•exa mination. The Arbitratcr—lf Mr. Lewis had required him for his witness he would have subpoenaed him. Mr. Lewis—As the general is not produced as a witness, I shall make some very sharp remarks, for it was evident that he seduced this young lady under a deliberate promise of marriage. Mr. Pawic—That has nothing to do with the case. Mr. Lewis—l contend it has. There is her mar riage dress. The Arbitrator—She says she was sent to buy goods under the authority of General Shirley. She says, " He sent me." Mr. Lewis—The general is intentionally with held. The adjournment, I considered, was for the opportunity to produce him as a witness to contra dict the statements made. After some further conversation, Mr. Lewis proceeded to sum up. Ho said that during the progress of the case certain statements had been made which it was impossible to exclude from the inquiry, since both he and Mr. Pawle, in the inquiries which they had had to make, had be come acquainted with facts which it was impossible for either to forget. Miss Thomas claimed from General Shirley the paltry, pitiable sum of £l3O, for which the general was indebted to her. General Shirley had now come into court; he was there to hear all the remarks which might be made, but he (Mr. Lewis) did not suppose he would feel it at all whatever might be said; but he had not come f orwar d e ith er to a d m i t or deny any. Of th e statements of Miss Thomas. The cir eurastauees under whi c h th e d e bt h a d b een con tracted Would have been disgraceful and dishonour able ev en for a man in the lowest and meanest position of so c i ety, I b f u h t e w h h ad en ha th d e an p y ar d ty iffi w cu a l s ty a even ' in maintaininggentleman—and M r _ p' a w as a gentleman-- w i th w e had said the defendant a year, coming th at Lineome of £7,000 £5,000 or court and instructing his attorney to torture that Young lad while he hi ms elf sat behind without comic yg forward to deny or admit mg of the statements Which she had made, he (Mr. Lewis) could not help saying that if the 1 defendant held a position in society he had forfeited it from that moment. The plaintiff had stated that General Shirley had introduced himself to her as a widower. Would the General deny it on his oath ? Subsequently she learned that he was a married man, separated by deed from his wife. She had stated that he had promised to marry her three or four times. Would he admit that ? If he did, and if he brought about her ruin by means of that promise, God help the reflections which he must have ! He (Mr. Lewis) challenged Mr. Pawle to put him into the box to prove the facts ; and if those facts proved that he had a conscience— Mr. Pawle—l must appeal to the arbitrator as to whether Mr. Lewis is to make a speech on the facts, or whether he is to attack my client. The Arbitrator—lf you appeal to me, I decide that this is simply a money claim. Mr. Lewis proceeded—lt was a money claim, and a money claim arising out of circumstances of a most disgraceful and dishonourable charac ter. Mr. Pawle had charged the young lady who was the plaintiff with going down to Southend as General Shirley's mistress, when he was aware she went down as his affianced wife ; and while Mr. Pawle made such obser vations, surely he (Mr. Lewis) might make remarks upon Mr. Parole's client. The plaintiff had sworn that the defendant had promised to marry her on the 15th of June. She went by his direc tions to Waterloo House to order clothing prepara tory to her marriage with him, she at the time owing a debt there of £9, which Gen. Shirley had never paid, although he had her living in his house at Rugby for nine months. He then took her over to Ireland under the pretence of marrying her there, but he brought her back again, and she then in curred a further debt at the same place amounting to £ll on his authority. She had stated that he never supplied her with a solitary shilling while she was in his house, and although he had seduced her under a promise of marriage. She was then near her confinement, and came up to London to be confined, and there were items in her account for clothes, housemaid's wages, and other things, amounting in the whole to £169 17s—money which she had saved in an honourable and humble posi tion as governess, and money which she had inhe rited, and money which she had expended for the support of the defendant's illegitimate child. She had only received £3O from him in the whole, and she had not received one penny from him for the support of his illegitimate child—supporting that child, he believed, almost at the sacrifice of her last gown at the pledging-shop. Gen. Shirley had heard all she had said, and yet he had not the cou rage to come into the witness-box to contradict her. What were the facts with regard to the account ? Gen.' Shirley authorised her to get lodgings at 275. 6d. per week, which amounted to £2O 12s. 6d. Then there was the support of herself and child at £3 per week, amounting to £45 ; clothing for the baby, £4 10s.; baby linen, £10; chair Cs.; nurse maid's wages at ss. a week, £1 ; her own wear ing apparel, £l5 ; which was quite clear she had bought by his authority. He had left her without a dress of any sort. There was a rid ing habit, £ll ; medical expenses and her dress maker's bill— amounting altogether to £169 17s. She had received on account of this £3O ; and a balance was still due to her of £139 17s. Then came the question as to whether she had the authority of General Shirley in incurring these liabilities. She had sworn in his presence that he had not given her a shilling during the nine months she was at Rugby, and when she was delivered of his bastard child he desired that it should be christened by the name of Annie Rosalie Shirley Thomas. It was christened by that name, and this was the only relation that the law allowed to be recognised between them; and what could be the defendant's object now in the course that he was adopting towards the child ? That he authorised her to pay a rent of 255. 6d. a week was proved by his letter telling her to go to a cheaper lodging ; that letter the learned arbitrator would probably remember, in which. General Shirley said that 255. a week was to much to _ply v fapery pad for U rent ; a defence which would have been beggarly, dis honourable, disreputable, and disgraceful to the poorest man in the land, for it was clearly proved that she had incurred the debt for the support of his illegitimate child. He had left her destitute in the world ; and he (Mr, Lewis) hoped that he would forfeit his position in society, for he had left this poor girl to starve in the streets and left his own child to die in the workhouse. As the smallest meed of justice that could be rendered to her, he hoped that the learned arbitrator would give the plaintiff the full amount which she had expended for the support of herself and bastard child of a man who had not had the feelings of the poorest beggar to supply something towards the support of his child. i\lr. Pawle might make observations about the conduct of the plaintiff, and say that she had lowered her own position in the world, but he (Mr. Lewis) bad to say that was all brought about by the treacherous conduct of General Shirley. Had it not been for the aid of one or two charitable per sons who had interested themselves in her behalf, the plaintiff and her child would have starved while General Shirley kept in his pocket the amount which she had expended upon his authorisation ; and now he did not dare to come into the box to contradict one single word that she had said. She now claimed from him £139. As to what might be the result with regard to other actions for other sums, which could not, he was sorry to say, be decided before the learned arbitrator, he (Mr. Lewis) would say nothing; but at all events he hoped that the decision of the arbitrator would give her that amount. Mr. Pawle, on behalf of General Shirley, the de fendant, said that he should have been far better pleased if Mr. Lewis had confined himself to the legal points of the case. A very great deal had been said about the non-production of General Shirley yesterday, but the general was then present, and Mr. Lewis could have called him if he had thought pro per to do so. He (Mr. Pawle) had declined to call the general, because Mr. Lewis bad said on the pre vious day that if the general were called he should put questions which would be exceedingly annoying to him, and which would bring in the names of third parties. For this reason he (Mr. Pawle) took upon himself to advise General Shirley not to go into the box for the purpose of hearing himself vilified and abused. It appeared to him that for the last two days they had been trying a case of seduction with the object on the part of Mr. Lewis of creating a sympathy towards his client. It had been objected that General Shirley had not produced the letters to which Mr. Lewis had alluded. It would not have been manly in the general to have produced these letters ; and he (Mr. Pawle) had advised him not to do so, and t hat was why the letters had not been pro duced. But it was not so with Miss Thomas, every letter that could annoy General Shirley had been produced by her; but he (Mr. Pawle) would say that there was not a single letier which General Shirley had written of which he had reason to be ashamed. The verdict at Lewes had told what the jury thought of the case. It was true Miss Thomas was not there for examination herself, but she had a clever and adroit young woman thee°. Mr. Lewis—Don't say that, Mr. Pawle. The Arbitrator—The jury might have believed her, and yet not considered the promise of marriage was proved. Mr. Pawle—The verdict showed what the jury thought. Mr. Lewis—Ah, but that verdict may be upset by a new trial. Mr. Pawle then went through the items, and contended that they could not be legally claimed. The learned gentleman then proceeded to say that those were all the remarks that he wished to make. He was not there for the purpose of splitting straws, andlif the matter had been placed in a diffe rent shape to the general it would have been paid. But, on the contrary, it had been set forth that he was unwilling to do anything for her, and, further that he would starve his child. He would put in and read a letter upon that point, which would show the real offer that had been made. The letter was as follows: «7, New-inn, Strand, London, August 12, 1862• " SHIRLEY V. THOMAS. "Dear Sirs,-11 , e are instructed by General Shirley to pay to Miss Thomas a weekly sum of L 2 for a period of 12 inonths from this date, within which time it is to be hoped she may obtain some employment. Should she not, we have no hesitation in saying the allowance will not be hastily discontinued. " We are also instructed to allow Miss Thomas, in addi- I tion to the amount named, £3O per annum for the support of her child, upon satisfactory proof from time to time that it is well cared for ; or if Miss Thomas will give up the child we are instructed to say that our client will at once settle £3O per annum upon it, and will, upon its attaining 21 years of age, invest for its benefit a sum of £l,OOO. The allowance to Miss Thomas will be paid in any way that lady may desire, and should she require any small amount of money for her present purposes we are quite willing to advance it. Awaking your reply, " We are, dear sirs, yours faithfully, "PAIVLE and LOVESIt. " Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, Ely-place.," Mr. Pawle continued—Now, sir, in dealing with this case, can you think such a state of facts 'pos sible ? When she went to Rugby she was by no means in good circumstances, and she obtained the authority of General Shirley to buy dresses. While living with the general, for between eight and nine months, on application made to the defendant, it was strange if she did not have very large sums of money. She came to London and took apartments under the authority of General Shirley, and now she came to-day and asked them to believe another story. She wished him (the learned arbitrator) to believe that she had received only the miserable sum of .£3O. He (Mr. Pawle) was then asked to produce the general to give a denial to that state ment, which he declined to do, and for this reason, that he had been deliberately told that he (Mr. Lewis) would question him, and show him to be a seducer, and by the questions put he would bring other parties into the matter and affect the family of the general, which he (Mr. Pawle) was deter mined to avoid. The question simply was, would he give £lOO or £3O, without further occupying the time of the learned arbitrator. He (Mr. Pawle) hoped he would not believe the improbable state ment of the plaintiff in making his award. Mr. Lewis trusted that, if his client was entitled to any amount, the award would be made at an early period, as his client was entirely dependent upon her friends. The Arbitrator said no doubt both sides would be glad to have his decision as early as possible, to which he would attend. WNW BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A BLACK ON SHIPBOARD. At the South Lancashire assizes yesterday, James Taylor, late mate of the British ship, Sailors' Home, was indicted for having assaulted a man of colour on board that vessel at Havannah on the 26th of December last. It appeared during the investigation of the case that on the 26th of De cember a number of the sailors on board the ship got drunk, and in consequence of this Taylor was very much annoyed, and beat a sailor named Thomas. All the men came on deck, and were standing together, when the mate ordered them to go below. They refused to do so, however, until they had seen the captain, who they wished to con sult on the subject of Thomas's beating, and ask if they might go on shore. The mate beeame very much enraged at the men refusing to go below, and he seized hold of an iron bolt and threw it at a negro named Barber, who was one of the sailors on board. The bolt unfortunately struck Barber on the head, and he was knocked insensible to the deck. Upon being picked up Barber's skull was found to be much injured, and he remained in a very critical state for some time. Ultimately, on the arrival at the Sailors' Home at Liverpool, Bar ber was taken to the hospital, and was there at tended to. It was said that his left side had become completely paralysed, and that he would be unable to resume work, and in all probability suffer much from his injuries during the remainder of his life. The prisoner was found guilty of unlawfully wounding, and sentenced to 15 months' imprison ment, with hard labour. CONVICTION UNDER THE NEW POACHING ACT. he first conviction unaer the New Game Act, which came into operation a few days ago, has just been obtained here, the offender being a painter of this town, who was de tected amusing himself with a bit of sport on Sun day morning, on the third day after the new law had come into operation. The magistrates before whom the case was heard were Sir Henry Lambert, Captain Candler, C. M. Berrington, Esq., and J. V. Hornyold, Esq. Thomas Freeman was charged by Police-Inspector Turner with having in his pos session game unlawfully captured, and also having in his possession a gun which he had used for the purpose of destroying game unlawfully. To prove the charge a policeman was called. He deposed that on Sunday morning, the 10th inst., having been on duty near the spot from one o'clock to six, he met at the latter hour the defendant in a public footpath carrying a gun. He had seen him shoot shortly before, and asked him what he was about. The defendant said he had no right to search him, but the officer told him that he had, and proceeded forthwith to execute the right, and found in the defendant's pocket a dead rabbit, warm and bleed ing. He took the rabbit and gun from him, and sold the rabbit by order of the magistrate (Sir H. Lambert). Defendant by his attorney, Mr. Caw ley, denied that he had shot the rabbit, and brought a witness to swear that he had been talking to him in a different direction to that where the policeman said he saw the defendant shoot at something. The magistrates decided that the charge was proved, but as it was the first case that had been brought be fore them under the new act, they fined the defen dant in the mitigated penalty of £l, ordering the forfeiture of the rabbit and the destruction of the gun. It was represented to the bench that the gun had been placed in the defendant's hands to clean, and the magistrates were asked to order it to be sold, as they had the option of doing, instead of de stroying it, so that the right owner might have a chance of buying it. This, however, the magis trates refused to do, and ordered it to be destroyed. CONDEMNED IRISH CONVICTS. The extreme sentence of the law will be carried into effect on Burke in front of Clonmel Gaol, at 12 o'clock on Monday next. It is stated (says the Freeman's Journal) that he has become very peni tent, and gives earnest attention to the spiritual ministrations of the clergymen, the Rev. Messrs. W alshe and Phelan, by whom he has been con stantly visited since the result of the memorial which was presented to the Lord Lieutenant on his behalf had become known. The Sisters of Charity have also visited him, at his especial request, and have given him great consolation by infusing into his mind a sense of his position, and of the truths which is essential he should hear, but as yet the convict has made no open admis s i on o f hi s gu i lt. It i s now quite certain if he had spared the life of her who loved him with such intense affection— who doted upon him for every little act of kindness —even for the potion which caused her agonising death—that he would come in for a considerable share of the large legacy of £7,000, with £5OO a year, which has been bequeathed to Mrs. Burke's family by the death of her nephew, a man named Farrell, who died in Sydney early last May. But the scene is woefully changed with the convict Richard Burke, and the light which should have gilded, but for his own desperate cruelty, many years of peace and conjugal felicity flings only a ghastly glare on the felon's tomb. A letter has been received in Cork, stating that Walsh since his sentence, has been induced to make revelations so important regarding the parties guilty of concocting the murder of Mr. Fitzgerald, that there is no shade of doubt left as to their being reached. In consequence of this behaviour on the part of Walsh, and in consideration of his youth, and of the knowledge that he was led into his fear ful and desperate crime by older and cooler heads than his own, it is stated that the executive govern ment feel some hesitation about carrying out the sentence of the law against him. The writer of the letter is, we are informed, connected with the Go vernment. We give these statements as we have heard them; but do not guarantee their authenti city. At the same time we must observe that the contents of the letter, as communicated to us, are exceedingly circumstantial, containing many par ticulars that at present it would be premature to publish. THE LATE MURDER 4 IN LIMERICK AND 21 P_PB.R.A.R Y. A correspondent of Saunders' News, writing from Cork, August 18, says—Numerous stories have had currency from time to time in regard to the murders of the late Mr. Francis Fitzgerald, of the Hill, near Kilmallock, and the reasons which induced the convict James Walsh to surrender to the constabulary at Eton police-station, but these stories have subsequently been contradicted, while the true circumstances have not, up to the present moment, appeared in the newspapers. To publish them at this moment cannot affect the ends of jus tice, so far as the actual murderers are concerned, as one of them has expiated his crime upon the scaffold ; and the time fixed on for the execution of the other is this day fortnight. it is stated, on the authority of a gentleman who resides close to where the deed of blood was perpetrated, that Beckham and Walsh were not the parties originally hired to assassinate Mr. Fitzgerald. Another was engaged for that purpose, whose name it would at present ; be imprudent to disclose, as his evidence will most likely be availed of at he next Limerick Assizes, when accessories before the fact will stand at the criminal bar to plead to an indictment for capital felony. This hireling was to receive £3 if he slew the victim, and was supplied with a pistol and ammunition to do the deed. For two days he hovered about the grounds of The Hill, and at last espied Mr. Fitzgerald coming from his house, he dogged him for some distance. Hav ing stealthily closed upon him, he was about to jump a ditch and present the deadly weapon at his breast, when the pistol fell from his hand into a ditch flowing with water. Having recovered the dripping weapon his purpose was for the time foiled, and upon retiring, he looked upon the circumstance as an ill omen to himself, and he determined not to again attempt it. He feared, however, returning to his employers, who would denounce him as a coward, and proceeded in search of Walsh, who he thought he might induce to commit the murder. The three then went to the employers, and the wages determined on were £3 to Beckham, who was to fire at the doomed gentleman, and £2 to Walsh, who was to aid him in resisting any attempt at capture. Beckham hav ing faulted the pistol held by Walsh, another was purchased in Limerick, as deposed to at the trials of the two murderers. The bloody mission was fatally accomplished, of which the public are fully informed, while the escape of the widowed Mrs. Fitzgerald was the most providential perhaps on record. NV hen the two assassins perceived the hus band and wife coming towards them they resolved to murder both. Beckham's victim was to be Mr. Fitzgerald, and Walsh was to send his bullet through the heart of his partner. But her life was preserved by an accident. Beckham fired at the victim, but the shot did not bring him to the ground, which led Walsh to believe it had not taken effect, and he discharged his bullet into the back of the previously mortally wounded gentleman. Thus her life was saved. The circumstances of the arrest of Beckham are well known, but those which led to the surrender of Walsh have been heretofore matter of surmise. It now appears that while Walsh was evading capture he was accompanied by the man who originally instigated him to be the assassin. While in the mountains of Kilmallock they slept and watched alternately. This they continued to do from the 16th of May, the day of murder, until the 23d of June, when Walsh walked into the police station. For some days previous to his surrender the two outlaws became suspicious of each other, as they dreaded to leave their fastness in the moun tain, and hourly anticipated capture. A watchful ness of the movements of each other became as in tense a feeling as a watchfulness of the visits of the authorities. On the 23d of June Walsh appeared to be fast asleep, when his companion stole away and proceeded towards the police barrack. Walsh was quick on his legs and dogged him along. Within a couple of miles of the station the guilty associate met a policeman and asked him was Sergeant Eager at the barrack. He replied that he was not, but would be there in the evening. He then left the policeman and was immediately enoountered by Walsh, who impeached him selling for blood money, bat he said he should never get a half-pnny for hanging him; and Walsh followed the polite man to the barracks, into which he entered and surrendered, stating his reasons for doing so._ but which were not allowed to bo givainiton in flight -ns trial of the criminal.—Sce of the police, and the testimony he supplies will, it is expected, bring other parties—and the more guilty parties, if there be any distinction between the instigation and the perpetration of murder—to justice. It is believed in the country that Hayes, the determined slayer of Mr. John Waller Braddell, is still in the mountains, on the borders of Tipperary and Limerick, and that he is accompanied by a fellow of desperate character, ever known to be a willing assassin. They have been frequently met in the mountains by people with whom they are acquainted, and do not appear to dread arrest. They are always sufficiently in formed of the movements of the police to avoid surprise; as the constabulary move through the mountains in large bodies, heavily accoutred, and search the cabins as they pass along. This sys tem certainly appears the most complete for de feating success, as it gives ample time to the pur sued to elude capture. It has been said that Hayes had left the country for America, but he is perfectly sensible of the fact that once he quits the extensive and well-sheltered mountains of Tippe rary, he would expose himself to arrest, from which he feels safe while in the neighbourhood of a people ever ready to harbour the murderer. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Aug. 20. MANSION-HOUSE. A respectably dressed lad, 17 years of age, named Alfred Garnham, a clerk, and Henry Read, 26, an ostler, were charged with having in their possession the handle of a silver table spoon, which was supposed to have been stolen. _ _ _ _ Mr. Fry, silversmith, 108, Bishopsgate, said that at about half-past eight that morning the prisoner Garnham came into his shop and offered part of a silver spoon for sale. He perceived that it had been recently broken, and asked him where he got it. He said his mother had given it him to dispose of for the purpose of purchasing a box of paints. He was given into custody, and the other prisoner, Read, who was waiting outside the shop, was like wise taken into custody. Mr. Champ, a solicitor, from Ipswich, said the prisoner Garnham had been in his service as clerk, and he had an officer from Ipswich, with a warrant for his apprehension upon a charge of embezzle ment. _ . _ George Bullenthorpe, a detective officer from Ipswich, produced a warrant signed by William Mumford, Esq., magistrate, for the apprehension of Alfred Garnham for embezzling the sum of £4, be ing part of the sum of £lO which he had received on account of his employer, Mr. Champ. He stated that the prisoner Garnham was the lad mentioned in the warrant. He knew the other prisoner, but he had no charge against him. Mr. Goodman, chief clerk, asked Mr. Champ if he knew anything of Read. He said he did, and upon being sworn stated that he knew the two prisoners were companions at Ipswich. The prisoner Garnham was a clerk in his service, and he believed if Read was remanded he could prove that he knew the other prisoner had robbed him and that he had also received a portion of the money. They both left Ipswich together, and been living together since. He knew to whom the silver spoon belonged, and he believed it would form a case against Read. Garnham was then handed over to the custody of Bullenthorpe to be taken before the magistrate at Ipswich, and Read was remanded. WORSHIP-STREET.—Catherine Geoffrey, a comely and respectable looking female, about 35 years of age, was granted a protection order under the following circumstances, as deposed to her upon oath, and she said—l am the wife of Henry Geof frey, a bricklayer by trade, and was married to him on the Bth January, 1856, at Old Bethnal-green Church. I resided with him in London-terrace, and Warner-place, Hackney-road, and during that time learnt that his right name was Johnson, the other an assumed one; that he had been transported for life about the year 1829 in consequence of a robbery committed by him on the Easter Sunday of the same year; that after a considerable period he obt7ine a ticket of leave for any country except Engla nd — despite a l ti l despite of which restriction he did co ere, and married me as I have stated.

SOU THWARK.—Th omas :13ygrave, who has con\ » cted of felony, and been three times tried any. Sarah Selby,wei e placed at U.' e u • for final examina tion, charged with committint a murderous assault on an old man named Jo s ep h Da ws, and robbing •i? the magistrate him of a bag containing boots. •nary examine 19rosecutor re- The prisoners were brought befog le account of last week, and underwent a prelim; tion, but owing to the injuries the ceived, he was only able W give a vagl, d that evi the transaction, and as the i ns p ector see dence would be forthcoming is, clearly ja, entity the prisoners, they were remanded until yeste relay. The additional evidence given by the prosecutor was as follows :—On Tuesday night, the 12th inst-, he took some work home into the City, mad on re turning home to Thomas-street, Walworth, he called in at a publichouse in the Blackfriars-road, and par took of refreshments. It was about 1 o'cloc kin the morning when he left the latter and crosse d over the road into the Borough-road. He then h ad. his woollen bag under his arm. He had not got. vn any yards before some one came behind him and knocked him down, and before he could recover hims elf be was struck on the head with some instrument and became insensible. On his recovery at the sta, tion house he missed his bag, and found that the poc. Vets of his trousers were torn, and a few coppers that ,he previously had were gone. Mr. Burcham asked if he saw the parties who attacked him ? He replied in the negative, as it was done so suddenly. Mr. John Austin was next examined, and said he was a teacher of music, residing in Lorrimore square, Walwor'th. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, the 13th inst., he was returning home from a supper, and on passing the end of the Borough-road he heard a disturbance, and looking in that direction he saw the prisoners go up to the prosecutor, who fell down. The male prisoner then struck him on the head withsoinething he had in his hand. The female prisoner then fell on the prosecutor and appeared to be rifling his pockets. Witness went across the road to see what was the matter, anti just as the male prisoner was about to run off a constable came up, seized hold of his arm, and a life preserver fell from him. The prosecutor was picked up, anal the female took hold of him saying he was her husbat'd, and wan ted to lead him away while he was in a s tate of unconscious ness, but witness followed her, and saw her taken into custody, and at the same time the prcsecntor was conveyed to the station-house. Police-constable 163 M said tba t betwee.n one and two o'clock on Wednesday morni.ng, the 13th inst., he was on duty at the top of the Borough road, when he heard cries for assistance. He looked round and saw the prosecutor on the ground, the male prisoner striking him with something, and and the female leaning over him. Witneos at once rushed to the spot and seized hold of the m ale pri soner's arm, from which dropped the life preserver produced. Witness, after considerable resistance, secured him and conveyed him to the station-house. Mr. Burcham asked what the female appeared to be doing when he first saw her ? Witness replied that she was tearing open the prosecutor's trowsers pockets for the purpose' af plunder. Joseph Kemp, 181 M, said he was on duty in the same neighbourhood, and saw the prisoners to gether a few minutes prior to the robber/. Suspect ing them, he watched them, and saw them knock the prosecutor down. He rushed up and secured the female prisoner, and assisted the prosecutor to the station-house, where he was attended to by a medical gentleman. Mr. Buchan asked what was known of the prisoners ? Edwin Coleman, 53 M, said he had known both prisoners as thieves from their childhood. In August, 1856, the male prisoner was tried and convicted ; and the female was tried and convicted in September, 1857, for shoplifting. , Levy, 116 V, said he was present at the Reigate sessions in July, 1859, when the male prisoner was tried and sentenced to 18 months' hard labour.- He was sentenced to nine months after that for having skeleton keys and housebreaking inwlements about him. The female prisoner had also been several times convicted for felony. 1 They were now fully committal fn r trial J'- -- NEWARK—WEDNESDAY.
