We have to record the death of Lieut.-Colonel George James Ambrose, late commanding the Ist Battalion of the 3d (East Kent) Regiment of Foot, or the Buffs, which took place on the 19th inst., at Kensington-house, Brislington, in his 38th year. The deceased entered the army in 1845, and served at the siege of Sebastopol, where he was dangerously wounded. He also served in the Chinese campaign of 1860. He was made a Companion of the Order of tke Bath on his return from China, and had re ceiv:d before that time various English, French, Sardinian, and Turkish decorations. THE COBNIVALLIS. The ship beari n g the above name is one which !iaa just been added to the Black Ball line, and is Low in the London Docks r ot prior t o of its cargo, its departure from this port for Australia on the 10th of August next. It is built of iron by the well-known iron-ship builders Messrs. Thom as Vernon and Sons, Liverpool ; it is a clipper constructed on the moat sZ approved prim- o i p i es , i s 215 feet in len g th over all , 35 feet broad, of 1,214 tons reg ister, and is capable o f carrying about 2,000 tons. The after cabin, inte nded for passengers, is admira bl y fitted up and a rranged; there is an absence of any trumpery ornamentation, and the only decorations are of highly polished English oak and bird's-eye m aple. This cabin will accommodate 24 persons and the arrangementsmade f o r the comfort of the passengers are such as can "iv be found in ships of the very highest class. Th e , tween decks are exceedingly lofty, and though we understand it is not contemplated to fit them up w i t h cabins for intermediate passengers on the proc at v oyage, they are capable of being so fitted as to carry 500 troops in the greatest comfort. The ship's rig ap p e ars somewhat light, b u t this arises from the fact that the main, mizen, and ford masts arc composed of iron, the top and top-gallant masts beitig of wood ; the main, wizen, and fore yards arc also of iron. A peculiar feature in the ship is that Elr o carries double topsail yards, one of which is fitted with Cunningham's patent ; by this means a great saving is likely to be effected in the wear of canvas ; some improvements have also been intro duced with a view to carry off the sweating which atNs ay s takes place in the lower decks of a ship when loaded, and often inflicts the most serious injury upon the cargo. The completion of this most beautiful specimen of naval architectur e was celebrated yesterday in the London Docks byddovi n ei uner on board, to which about 300 persons sat . _ amongst whom we recog nised Sir Wm. and Holmes, Lt t the Commissioner of Guiana, Sir J. H. and Ladd (latelyle Maxwell, Sir Chas. i ( n i g ht, Sir S. A. Donal dson Premier of the Governme nt of New South wales), 4.1? ) ,, ,t,t'. Lindsay, Ms., Mr. , Mr. H. Lewis, . 1 ) Marsh, 111. P., Str" jeant Pixley, of the Victoria Rifles, champion shot of England, Mr. F. Cdfall, and a number of leading Australian colonists now in England. Mr. T. M. Mackay occupied the chair, and if a most excellent chairman and an elegant and bountiful dejeuner are elements of success on such an occasion, surely this was one of the most successful events of the kind we have ever witnessed. The toasts followed rapidly. First on this as on all occasions came " The Health of the Queen," next that of " The Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," then " The Army, the Navy, the Volunteers, and Naval Reserve," Admiral Austin responding for the navy, Capt. Le Mesurier for the army, Serjeant Pixley for the volunteers, and Capt. Pryce (commander of the Cornwallis) for the Royal Naval Reserve. " The Two Homes of Parliament" was next proposed, and responded to by Mr. H. Lewis, M.P. " Prosperity to the Australian colo nies" followed, and was responded to by Sir S. A, Donaldson. Several other toasts were then proposed, amongs them " The Colonial Exhibitors," responded to by Mr. Marsh, M.P. ; " Australian Trade," re sponded to by Mr. Locke and Mr. Sargood ; "Pro sperity to the Ship Cornwallis and her Owners," responded to by Mr. Stock; " Mr. Vernon ;" " Capt. Pryce, the Commander of the Ship ;" "The Chair man ;" " The Press ;" and " The Ladies." Mr. Adams's excellent band was in attendance, and although it proved valuable during the dinner, it became far more so when the ladies—who had listened with commendable patience to all the speeches betook themselves to the deck and danced to its enlivening strains till twilight com ing on reminded them that they were in the London Docks, and not in their own drawing rooms, and that the dance, which under other cir cumstances might, and no doubt would, have been kept up till daybreak, must be brought to a close, as the shades of evening were fast closing over them. MR. 2HURLOW WEED UPON ENGLAND Mr. Thurlow Weed has addressed the following etter to the Committee on National Affairs of New York : " Albany, July 1, 1862. " Gentlemen, —I receive, with a grateful sense of he honour they confer, the very flattering resolu• Lions adopted by the Common Council of your com mercial metropolis. I accept them, frankly and proudly, as emanations rather of your own gener ous constructions than as merited by any service i may have been in my power to render our country. " If, during a temporary residence in Europe, I have been enabled, in some degree, to relieve the complications in which our affairs were involved— to do something toward vindicating our Govern ment from unjust aspersions, or to aid in turning back the tide of popular sentiment setting so strongly against our cause, it was owing to the prompt and and generous confidence reposed in me by our distinguished representatives in England and France. In bearing testimony, as is both a duty and a pleasure, to the ability and fidelity of Mr. Adams and Mr. Dayton, I cannot forbear to add that, rising above considerations which might have disturbed Ministers less truly devoted to their country, they not only accepted unofficial co-ope ration, but disembarrassed my colleagues and my self by cheerfully facilitating our efforts. It is a pleasure, also, to add that, on several occasions and in essential ways, I was efficiently aided by Mr. Sanford, our indefatigable Minister to Belgium. . - Nor could the Government in a season of trial and difficulty have made happier selections of consul in Paris and London. Messrs. Bigelow and Morse are discharging their responsible duties in a manner worthy of all praise. " Our Government was by no means too prompt in inviting some of its citizens to visit Europe. It is to be regretted that two or three eminent gentle men, to whom it is understood that invitation ex tended, were unable to accept it, for the field was large and the labourers few. In the designation of Archbishop Hughes and Bishop M'llvaine, how ever, the Government was peculiarly fortunate. The services of those enlightened and eminent divines and devoted Union men, the former in Paris and the latter all over England, were seasonable and effective. Their exalted positions, their high cha racters and their fervid zeal, gave weight and autho rity to their statements and opinions. " Secession, while undermining for ultimate re bellion, was thoughtful of the importance of the favour of Europe. The South, with its long- cherished purpose, worked as diligently abroad as a, home; the North, unconscious of the great crime meditated, slept. Active emissaries of Secession, abided too-often by sympathising Ministers and consuls, settled the public mind or. the other side of the Atlantic against us. Public opinion was formed against the Union before our side of the question was presented or heard. By turning truth end for end, and reading history backwards, we were h e ld by Europeans as the aggressors. The last three months of Mr. Buchanan's Administration were almost as injurious abroad as at home; for there, as here, loyal men only occupied the places of disloyal Cabinet and foreign Ministers too late to nip the rebellion in the bud. " Unfortunately, there were causes as well as pre text for the lack of sympathy which we encoun tered in Europe. The Governments of the Old World remember that, from the nature of our insti tutions, our own Eympathies have generally run with those who struggled to overthrow monarchies, and that we have shown alacrity in recognising the in dependence of such as struggled successfully. With the nations most intimately connected with us the Morrill Tariff was regarded with great disfavour. In England it was believed that we not only cherished unfriendly feelings toward that country, but that we desired a disruption of friendly relations. The emissaries of rebellion seized upon these causes and pretexts to turn the current of feeling in their favour. It was, too, plausibly urged that the difference in climate, soil, habits, and want of con geniality' between the North and South, constituted such radical discordance that our union had become an impossibility. Indeed, these fallacies were so successfully pressed, that Mr. Gladstone, in a recent speech at Manchester, stated that the Union was but a co-partnership, dissoluble whenever passion or caprice prompted in any of the parties a desire to withdraw. That eminent statesman—if for a moment we adopt his theory—overlooked or ignored the circumstance that our Secession copartnerners, in retiring, broke open the safe, and stole valuable securities, the common property of the firm —or, in other words, that, in seperating, they seized the fortifications, the arms, the Custom-houses, the Post office, and the public moneys—acts of treason in a public, or of robbery in a private sense, which would, perpetrated in England, have consigned them to the Tower or the Penitentiary. " While England, France, Belgium, and Germany begin to experience serious inconvenience and em barrassment from their short supply of cotton, I do not apprehend immediately that these Governments will intervene, though with the two former the sub ject been _even more impatient than England. not, how eve froth unfriendliness, but because the Em peror assume,.' in ew . th food. the absence of employment to sup ply his peopl" But we have nothing to fear from Europe if we th e a re successful in prosecution of the war. Fort Winchester, Donelson, Nashville, •hester New Orleans, and g e m phis are our strongest ' arguments against in tervention with Governme nt , future military that determine all measurem ent. re, however, t two well-founded reasons for q u , e , s T ti h ot e i: e b byy n a nnrehending can I doubt the e mbroilme n t with Prapri Eugland. Nor 6 tY of dwell earnestly upon a danger fraught v ital to th so e w elfare with consequences o f both nations. The Trent affair, though happily be cause rightfully settled, has left an arrow With poisoned barb festering in ou r flesh and irritatin g our nerves. The impression that England, willin g to take us at di sa dvantage, availed herself of th e erring judgment or i m pulsive zeal of a naval com mander, to wage war u pon us, has obtained through out the country. That England expected war , and intended war, making with unparalleled alacrity and in gigantic proportions preparations for war , is admitted to be true. But with opportunities favour able to a correct understanding of the views- of the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVEN English Government, and of the feelings that swayed the English mind, I am bound in truth and fairness to say that that Government and people sincerely believed we desired a rupture with them ; that we sought occasions to taunt and snub them ; and, egregiously unfounded as the supposition was, that the present Secretary of State was the representa tive of this hostile sentiment. In justification of these impressions, it was said that by bullying' we obtained advantages in the settlement of the North Eastern and Vancouver Boundary questions; that we abruptly dismissed their Minister, Mr. Cramp ton, and their Consul, Mr. Barclay ; that our sym pathies in their war with Russia were with their enemy ; that we had often threatened to wrest Canada from them ; and finally, that Secretary Seward had avowed hostile intentions toward England. " Some of these grounds of complaint were, as we know, well taken, and all were believed to be so. " We all felt that the recognition of the Southern Confederacy as a belligerent by England and France, was an over-hasty and ungracious act. But, in submitting the proposition to the French Emperor, the English Crown lawyers enforced it by arguments which from the stand point were forcible. Both Governments supposed the insurgent States had or could fit out vessels of war, and wished to relieve themselves from the responsibility of treat ing such vessels as pirates. In this they erred ; for, without the impunity thus extended to them, not even the Nashville or the Sumter would ever have ventured to sea. " But, notwithstanding these adverse influences, and the existence in certain high quarters of views not friendly to the success of our form of Government, the Union has many ardent, well wishing friends in England, and can have many more if we act justly ourselves, and labour to correct grossly erroneous impressions. The paths of peace are the only paths of pleasantness for England and America. In view of the dangers which I do not exaggerate—dangers growing out of mutual misapprehension of each other's real sentiments—it behoves the Government, the press, and the people of both countries, by enlightened counsels, large toleration, and wise forbearance, to soothe rather than simulate existing irritations. Nor, in forming an estimate of the degrees and value of English sympathy during our domestic troubles, is the fact that her Queen and House of Commons modified hard despatches, and resisted unfriendly legislation without significance. " To have been deemed worthy by the boards of aldermen and councilmen of the city of New York of the high municipal honours which their re solutions confer is a distinction of which any man would be proud—to me, it is more precious than rubies of fine gold. In again thanking you for this undeserved honour I beg to assure you that, while I may be unable to justify this partiality, I shall at least do nothing that ,will induce the Common Council to regret its action. " Born upon the banks of the Hudson River, my advent in the city of New York in the year 1807, was in the capacity of cabin boy to the sloop Jefferson, Captain Jacobus Bogardus, of Catskill, and my first entrance to the city from Coentic's-slip, up Broad-street, with the trunk of a passenger on my shoulder, is a well-remembered incident. Subsequently, in 1816, 1817, and 1818, I wrought there as a journeyman printer. Hav ing therefore obtained an early foothold in our great metropolis, and witnessed its wonderful growth, its unparalleled prosperity, and its un folding material and intellectual glories during the period which has augmented its population from less than 100,000 to more than a million, you will pardon the weakness which confesses its pride in being invested with the freedom of a city destined to become what London is—a centre and depository of the wealth, power, and wisdom of the world. "In declining the hospitalities which your reso lutions contemplate and your committee tender — though your own generous sympathies need no prompting—permit me to suggest that the city's good cheer be reserved for and dispensed among the survivors of the gallant men who uphold the cause of the Union in sanguinary battles with a steadiness and heroism which entitle them to our affection and gratitude. "Respectfully and truly your obedient servant, " nruaLow WEED." been charged with ; and, thirdly, that if the jury believed he had been present at the affray, he con tended that there was nothing to show that the pri soner had shown any malicious intent. The jury retired, and returned a verdict of guilty with intent. He was sentenced to three years' penal servitude. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-July 21. The July adjourned quarter sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morn ing at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, before Mr. Bodkin, assistant -judge, and a bench of magistrates. A prisoner, indicted and convicted at the last ses sions in the name of Charles Viner, but whose real name is Collins, of a plate robbery, was brought up and sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. Twenty-three convictions were proved against him by Lockyer, the prison officer. A prisoner named Gunnell, convicted last session of having embezzled money which ho had received on account of the Commissioners of the Interna tional Exhibition, his employers, was also brought up. The prisoner, it may be remembered, was em ployed in the catalogue department at the Exhibi tion, and falsified his accounts; and not only that, but made an imputation upon his superior in the department of a serious nature, which was proved to be entirely unfounded. Inquiries had been in stituted by order of the Court. The prisoner was sentenced to six months' hard labour. John Lovell, 25, tailor, was indicted for stealing a watch and chain, value £3O, from the person of John Hampden Gladstone. Mr. Daly prosecuted; Mr. Orridge defended the prisoner. The prosecutor was a gentleman living in Wel beck-street, Cavendish-square, and one Saturday night he was passing by a crowd at the top of Coven try-street, when he detected the prisoner handling his waistcoat pocket. Instantly his watch and chain were gone, and he threw him on the ground, think ing he had the watch, as he was nearest to him. A companion of the prisoner's ran away as fast as he could, and was not taken. When charged the pri - soner said that even if he did do it the gentleman had no business to serve him like that, and refused to give any name or address. The watch was picked up by a French gentleman, named Fleard, just where the prisoner stood, and given up by him to Inspector Wilson, C division. The prisoner was found guilty, and former convictions were proved against him. He was, it appeared, one of the most artful and cunning of thieves, and could assume all sorts of disguises. The Court sentenced him to tenyears' penal ser vitude. John Morgan, 18, carman, was found guilty of stealing money belonging to Samuel Pounceby, his master, received over the counter. He was sentenced to four months' hard labour. Mr. Ribton proscuted ; Mr. F. Lewis defended. (Before Mr. Payne.) Henry Clothier and a woman named Rogers, who had assumed the name of Clothier, from having lived with the first-named defendant as his wife, were indicted for assaulting an old man named John Green. Mr. Ribton prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Daly, and Mr. Kemp defended. This was a ferocious assault on the part of the female prisoner, who lived at 2, Ann-street, White chapel. On the 26th April the prosecutor com plained of the female prisoner sending boys to knock down a stall which he had, and she jeered him and spat in his face. He called her a blackguard for so filthy an act, upon which she took up a pint pot and cut his head (men with it. He bled profusely, and called out " Oh, my poor head." She then took up a hammer and was about to strike him with it, but the blow was averted by a neighbour, who pulled him aside, but he broke away and rushed at her, and Clothier then came out and struck the old man a blow on the chest, which knocked him down on the pavement insensible, and ultimately he was taken to the London Hospital. He was attended to at first by Dr. Edmund, of Spital-square, w ho found him in such danger that he advised his depositions should be taken, which was done by Mr. Leigh, the magistrate, at the old man's place, 5, Ann-street, but he was now much better, though very feeble. The defence was that prosecutor wanted to fight the female prisoner, when the other interfered to protect her, but the prosecutor entirely denied it. After a long trial the Jury found them both guilty. The learned Judge said there was a great distinc tion to be made between them. Even had the old man been fighting the woman the male prisoner had lived with he ought not to have knocked himdown, bleeding as he was, and he should sentence him to four months' hard labour; and the woman, whose conduct had been brutal and savage in the extreme, to nine months' hard labour. Henry Matthews, 27, alias Harris, well known by the cognomen of the " Jew Boy," was indicted for stealing from the person of Charles William Noble a watch and watch-chain, of the value of £2O, his property. Mr. Orridge prosecuted ; Mr. Dickie defended. This was a robbery from the person, committed at Her Majesty's Theatre as the prosecutor and his wife were going into the pit. There was a rush, and the prisoner suddenly separated the prosecutor from his wife, and the next instant he missed his watch, which was found under the prisoner's foot. He was standing next to the prosecutor and he was immediately seized and given into the charge of the police. He declared he was innocent and knew nothing of it. When asked where he lived he gave a false address, and then would not give any other. Mr. Dickie addressed the jury, contending that the evidence did not, sustain the charge, but the jury found the prisoner guilty, and it was proved that he had been in custody several times for watch roberries, and had been convicted. Detectives Edward Langley, of the A division, and Joseph Deeble, 11, stated that they well knew him to be one of the most expert thieves in the metropolis, and had been continually watched. Mr. Payne sentenced him to six years' penal ser vitude, and it was stated subsequent:y that he had been before sentenced to the like punishment. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, July 21. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) THE BISHOP BURTON MURDER. Cuthbert Wray, 30, was charged with wounding Mark Robinson, with intent to kill and murder him on the 16th of November, 1858, at Bishop Burton. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Shepherd prosecuted ; Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Maule defended. (The prisoner was originally indicted for the murder of Jex, the game-keeper, but the grand jury threw out the bill, and found for the minor offence only). On a remarkably moonlight night in November four years ago, three gamekeepers left the house of their employer, R. Watts, Esq., of Bishop Burton, near Beverley, about ten o'clock. They proceeded to two plantations called Great Gallops and Little Gallops, on a Mr. Long's farm, and they were walking between these woods, when they heard the scream of a hare from the direction of another field. They retraced their footsteps until they came to what is called Brogdalo Planta tion, where they saw several poachers. The watebers now held a consultation as to the neces sity of procuring further assistance; but the head watcher, Jex, who was a most bold and resolute man, would not hear of it, and the three then got over the hedge, Jex first, a man named Geddes next, and Mark Robinson last. The watchers now saw the full force of the poachers—some eight or nine men—who were armed with guns and heavy hedge stakes. The poachers, it seemed, were the first to commence this fatal and terrible affray, by setting their dogs upon the keepers. Jex said that it they did not call the latter away he would shoot them, and he carried his threat into execu tion by raising his gun and shooting a lurcher dog dead. A parley now succeeded, and a few stones were subsequently thrown at the keepers, and one large flint hit Robinson a severe blow upon the head. One of the poachers then cried out that he would knock Jex's brains out if he did not keep back. Jex replied by threatening to fire upon them, and eventually he did so. A general melee at once ensued, guns, stones, and stakes being freely used. Jex and Robinson were knocked down, and Geddes after wards observed Robinson shoot a dog that was about to seize upon Jex. Shortly afterwards Geddes himself was shot, and as he found himself seriously wounded, he scrambled across a hedge and made the best of his way for assistance. Some men being alarmed, in this manner went to the scene of the affray, where they found Jex quite dead, and with his face quite beaten into the soil in the field from the blows he had received. A large number of flint stones were laid about him, together with a large hedge stake. Robinson was met with on the road, being in a very dangerous condition, and he after wards became insensible from the various wounds he had received. On the following day minute search was made in the neighbourhood, and, fol lowing the direction of a bloody trail, the dead body of the lurcher dog that Jex had shot was found concealed in a bush on the road between Cherry Burton and Market Weighton. Suspi cion fell upon several parties, and seven men were subsequently tried at York Assizes, and four of them were now suffering severe punish ment for the part they took in the pro ceedings. It was subsequently ascertained that one of those men, named Marshall, and the pri soner Wray, arrived at the village of Cottingham (a short distance from the scene) between three and , 1 four o'clock in the morning, both in a very wounded deplorable condition. Their wounds were dressed, and they remained at the house of a man named Downes for some time, but the latter, hearing of the death of Jex, would not harbour the two men any longer, and consequently they had to leave the house. Marshall was afterwards captured, but the prisoner Cuthbert Wray had hitherto eluded detec tion. The police, however, got notice of his where abouts, and he was apprehended in a brickyard at Scarborough on June 30. He was working there at the time, and the police saw him when they sur roundedwiz the yard. A signal was given by a fellow- Irian, and the prisoner instantly threw off his apr on „ ad shot woundstarted off. He was, however, shortly was Cuthb:aptured, and admitted that his name him, he found th at y When the surgeon examined li that there were several marks of gun thelNrier.wSaesYntno2erairs t b h o e dy d . efence, contended that the Cuthbert W ray e ab e X show that this man was and had been pre4o4 b e had of, or that, if he were, 44 done what he had POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---July 21. MANSION HOUSE.—ANGTHER ROW BE TWEEN THE SOLDIERS AND THE POLICE.—John Gleeson, James Bellew, Patriok Loveley. and James Kelly, all privates in the 3d Regiment of the Buff's, stationed at the Tower, were placed at the bar be fore Mr. Alderman Finis, charged with being drunk and committing a violent assault upon the police. It appeared from the evidence of the constables that on Saturday night, at about 10 o'clock, police constable Jas. Mills, 514, was on duty in St. Mary at-Hill, Eastcheap, when a gentleman who passed him told him he was wanted in Little Tower-street. He accordingly went there to see what was the matter, when he saw a number of soldiers, amongst whom were the four prisoners, fighting. Before he had time to say anything to them, ore of them, ho could not say which, went up to him and asked him what be was going to do. He replied that he was going to do nothing, and did not wish to have anything to say to them, intending to go for the picket. He did not express his intention, however, but before he had time to proceed any fuether he was struck on the side of the head by one of the soldiers—he did not know if it was either of the prisoners—and at the same time another sol dier got hold of his legs, and tried to throw him on his back. I❑ the meantime Gleeson and Bellew took off their belts, and began to strike him with them about the head. (The officer had a piece of strapping plaster on his forehead, about four inches in length, which he said covered a wound he had received from one of the prisoners.) He also produced his hat, which was literally cut into Pieces. He took out his truncheon and struck the soldier who had hold of his legs, and so released himself, after which he defended himself as well as he could from the blows dealt him by Gleeson and Bellew with their belts, and at last managed to back himself into a public-house called the Ship, outside of which the row took place, and the land lord shut the door and fastened it. _ _ _ During the disturbance Leonard Pugh, another officer, 708, having been told that one of his brother officers was being murdered by the soldiers, pro ceeded to his assistance. He saw eight or ten sol diers altogether, and saw the officer Mills strug- gling with Gleeson and Bellew, and another man had hold of his legs, He went to assist him, when Loveley, who was standing about a yard and a half from him, raised his belt and struck him a fearful blow on his head. (This officer also had a large piece of plaster on his head.) He saw Mills go into the public-house, and he then went for assistance. After proceeding a short distance he met police constable Thomas, 601, who hearing what was the matter, proceeded at once to the spot, and on the road saw the prisoner Kelly i run ning towards him with his ha t off and his belt n his hand, who, when he came up to the officer, made a desperate blow at him with his belt, but be evaded the blow, and merely received a slight graze on his finger. Kelly then dropped his belt, which was picked up by a civilian, and the officer took him into custody. Previous to this, however, Wale, another constable, hearing of the disturbance as he was going off duty, went to the assistance of his brother officers who were being ill-used, and saw a number of soldiers with their belts off, amongst whom were the prisoners. He went towards Kelly, who was flourishing his belt, and he made a blow at him with it. He evaded it, however, and the prisoner was in the act of striking at him again when the officer struck him on the arm with his truncheon, upon which he ran away and was met b . y the officer Thomas. The pri soners Gleeson and Bellew seemed to have been severely punished, Gleeson's head being cut in four or five places, and his coat covered with blood ; and Bellew had a very bad wound on the forehead, and there was likewise a quantity of blood on his coat. The other two prisoners, Loveley and Kelly, however, appeared to have come off nearly scathe less, neither having any marks of violence. They all said, when called upon for an explana tion, that they did not recollect any more than a " child unborn" how it occurred ; Gleeson and Bel lew stating that all they knew about it was that they were there, and that they got terribly knocked about. Lieut. Charles Bailliee said the prisoners, with the exception of Loveley, belonged to his company. H e k n ew, however, his character in the regiment was bad. As regarded the others they all bore a pretty good character. The prisoner Gleeson wore a stripe for good character on his sleeve. In answer to a question put by Mr. Goodman, Lieut, Bailliee said that the prisoners would re ceive punishment, independent of what they might receive at the hands of the alderman, for having used their belts, which was against the Articles of War. Mr. Alderman Finnis said the prisoners had com mitted a most disgraceful assault upon the police without the least provocation. He must make an example of them, but taking into consideration that they would he punished by the regimental autho rities in addition to what he should inflict, he should only sentence them to 14 days' imprison ment with hard labour, adding that if Gleeson and Bellew, who appeared to have been worse than the other two, had not been already punished he should have been much more severe with them, and he hoped that it would be a warning to those who go" awa .y. THAMES.—UNREQUITED LOVE.—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.---Caroline Somerville, a girl not quite 18 years of age, and described as a tailoress, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with mak ing two attempts to commit suicide. Catherine Owens, a young woman, dwelling at 27, Jubilee-place, Commercial-road, said that in consequence of the receipt of a letter from the pri soner she met her that morning in the Commercial road, and found her in a very dejected state and crying. The prisoner's distress of mind and agita tion was caused by a young man to whom she was devotedly attached, and who had slighted her. The prisoner said she would destroy herself, and asked her for the loan of some halfpence to purchase a dose of poison. She refused to lend her money for any such purpose.. The prisoner then hastened to her home, and took up a small knife with which she attempted to cut her throat. The knife was taken away from her, and she then retired to a private room and made an attempt to strangle herself with a pocket handkerchief. The prisoner's second at tempt at suicide was frustrated, and she was given into custody. At the station-house the prisoner attempted to strangle herself with the strings of her bonnet. Mr. Woolrych—The prisoner appears very low and unhappy. Witness—She is unhappy, sir ; it is all about a young man. Max Holstock, a German, a pale-faced young man with a large yellow moustache, said he was living at 26, Bedford-street, Commercial-road. The prisoner had worked for him two months. She had told him she had loved him truly and sincerely, but he did not want her to love him. She also told the young woman Owens that she loved him. On Sun day the prisoner said that she would drown herself in the water, and he said, "Go and do so. Drown yourself fast." Mr. Woolrych—That was cool. Holstock—She often said, " I love you. I want to keep company." I said no. On Sunday she watched me from half-past two until eleven o'clock at night. Last Tuesday she began and was looking at me all day, but she took nothing away from me. Mr. Woolrych—Did you pay her any attentions ? Witness—Yes ; I did pay her 2s. 6d. on Saturday night, all I owed her. Mr. Woolrych—Did you make love to her ? Witness—No, Sir. Mr. Woolrych—Did you promise to marry this unhappy young woman ? Witness—No, sir, no. I never spoke of love, Last Tuesday she said she loved me. Hugh Andrews, a police-constable, 62 H, said the prisoner had sent a letter to her rival, the first witness, He handed it to the magistrate, who read it. The following is a copy verbatim et literatinz " Dear Friend,—l write these few lines to you, hoping to find you in good health, as I am not at the present time. Oh, Catherine, what shall I do, my love is not returned, my heart is broken. I know not what to do, and where to go. Mr. Marks has taken my heart away ; he has broken my heart. Oh, Catherine, you say it is not too late now. Oh, Catherine, it is in your power to save me; oh do save me, oh save me ; you can save me; save me, Catherine. You say you care for him no longer. Oh, Catherine, give him up if you can, or if you cannot I must put an end to my existence—to my miserable life for ever. Oh, Catherine, Catherine, on my bended knees I beg of you to intercede for me. Oh, my God ! my God ; what shall I do. Oh, my brains are mad, I know it ; I will make away with myself. Oh, Catherine, Catherine, do what you can for me. and may God bless you wherever you go. Oh merciful Powers, I know not what to do or say. Oh, the pangs, the pangs, the anguish of un requited love, of blighted affections. Oh, Catherine, he sits all day long, and does not speak to me. He will not keep my company, or walk in the street with me, when we are coming home from work. On Thursday we came out from work together, and then he ran away from me, and I met him, and he ran away again. Catherine, at that moment I was mad, mad, mad ; I had a great mind to throw myself under the wheels of a wag gon, and end my miserable existence altogether ; but, oh no, no, no, I will wait a little longer, and see what time does; and then, if it is no better, I must die ; but he shall see me, and he shall never forget it the longest day he lives. Oh, by Heavens, oh, by . Heavens, gracious Heavens, I swear it Catherine, oh Catherine I swear it. Oh, merciful Heavens, what shall 1 do, lam going mad. God only knows how I love that man, Marks, Catherine. I cannot write to you half what I feel. If you could but read my poor heart, you would know how I love him. Oh, again I say, on my knees I beg of you to plead for me. Oh, Catherine, if you do not, this night shall be my last. I wish you good bye for the present.—CAROLINE SOMERVILLE, No. 5, York-street, Commercial-road, near the gate." Mr. Woolrych asked Holstock if he spoke Eng lish or German to the prisoner. Witness —I speak English to her. Mr.Woolrych—You must have paid court to her? Witness—No, no, I did not, never. Mr. Woolrych—Are you quite sure of that ? Witness—l am, indeed. Mr. Woolrych—l am afraid you have spoken on the subject of love and marriage to this poor girl. Witness—No, no, I am not in love ; never will be in love, never. Mr. Woolrych—Well, it appears she is in love with you. I never saw a more dejected and un happy-looking creature than that poor gill. It is quite distressing. Mrs. Somerville, the mother of the prisoner, said her daughter was in a most unhappy frame of mind, in a state of delirium, wild, about the young man Holstock. They worked in the same shop together. Mr. Woolrych—lt is very extraordinary. I have questioned him both in German and in English, and he says he has no sentiment of affection for her. Mrs. Somerville—This girl behind (pointing to Owens, a plain young woman) is also in love with him. Mr. Woolrych—Do you hear that, Catherine Owens. Are you in love with this German tailor ? Owens—No, sir, not I. I like him, but am not in love with him. I think Caroline, there, might beg his pardon. Mr. Woolrych—What, for being in love with him? O wens—Yes, sir. She is a very silly girl. Mr. Woolrych—l shall remand the prisoner to the Clerkenwell House of Detention for a week. The chaplain will talk to her. I hope she will be in a better state of mind next week, and be sensible of her folly. The prisoner, in a low tone, said that Holstock had walked out with her, and promised to marry her. Holstock—lt is a lie. It is not true. Mr. Woolrych—lf you did, you have behaved very badly indeed. Holstcck—l never walked out with her. The prisoner — Yes you have, Marks, you know you have. Mr. Woolrych—l will tell you what, Mr. Max, or Marks, I begin to s us p ect you have been trifling with this poor girl's affections : Mind what you are about. Ther e i s no accounting for taste . Here are two women in love with this stripling of a tailor, who says he does not care for either of them. I hope the p r i soner w i ll look for some one hi g h er , and not marry a tailor, and that she will become as sensible as the other girl, who is laughing over the matter, and does not care whether she . has the tailor or not. The prisoner was then formally remanded for a week, and was led from the dock in a most pros trate condition by some of her female friends. WANDSWORTH.—THE LATE VOLUNTEER REVIEw._A DUKE CHARGED WITH HORSE IN:HIPPING A BARRISTER. —HIS Grace the Duke of Sutherland appeared before Mr. Ingha m t o answer a summons charging bun with having assaulted Mr. Metcalf, barrister. Mr. Garth defended. The comphkinant) 931 belug Morn ; stated that on the afternoon of Saturday week, the day on which the Volunteer Review took place, he was riding on horseback along the Putney-road, accompanied by his wife and child, and an elderly lady, who were in a basket phaeton. At a short distance from the entrance for carriages at Wimbledon-common, the road was very narrow, and in consequence of the nu merous carriages there was a difficulty to get along. The basket phaeton followed in the line of carriages, which was formed to admit of the passing of return carriages, on the other side of the road. Witness was riding on the grass, on the off side, with a lady, who was also on horseback, and his groom was behind, riding and leading a horse for the use of Mrs- Metcalf. As they were proceeding along the Duke of Suther land drove up with a four-horse drag rather rapidly, and whether he overlooked the pony-phaeton or he wished to pass it and take advantage of the weak part of the line, he did not know, but he drove the basket carriage off the road, and ran against it as he passed. The wing of the phaeton was doubled up, and the ladies were very much frightened Witness seeing the danger of his wife, rode up and forced his horse between the leaders of the drag and the carriage in front of them for the purpose of protecting his ladies. Some gentleman immediately came behind him and seized his horse's head violently and turned it round. He also caught hold of witness's leg and endeavoured to throw him off his horse. He was unable to accomplish it, and he (the gentleman) then retreated The drag then moved on, and as it passed the Duke lashed him with his whip. Luckily for him and witness the whip did not cut his face, but only his hat. He followed up to the course and asked the gentleman who had endeavoured to throw him off his horse for his card, but he refused, and told him to find out. In cross-examination Mr. Metcalf denied charg ing the leaders of the drag with his horse, and also that he touched their reins. As he forced his horse between the leaders, they went partly round with him. The gentleman who came up behind asked him what he was about. He had no doubt his object was to put his horse away to prevent further mischief. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Ingham sug gested that as Mr. Metcalf had not sustained any injury, whether it would not be better to allow the Duke to give an explanation. Mr. Metcalf said that before the case was called on, he offered to withdraw the proceedings on an apology being made, but it was declined. The Duke of Sutherland said that Mr. Metcalf was on the off side, and not able to judge of distance. He had witnesses who would give a very different version of the story. He always trembled when he saw ladies driving, and invariably pulled his horses away so as not to alarm them. He was not within a yard of the phaeton at the time. The magistrate then left the bench to examine the phaeton, and on his return the case proceeded. Mrs. Darcey Irving, sister-in-law of Lady Dun gannon, and Mrs. Metcalf, who were in the pony phaeton, and Mr. Metcalf's groom, - were severally examined as witnesses, and they corroborated the complainant's statements. The ladies stated that they were very much alarmed, and were nearly up set by the drag. For the defence the Duke of St. Albans was called, and said he was sitting on the box with the Duke of Sutherland. There were two lines of car riages. They were in one line and the pony phaeton was in the other. They were going at a slow pace, when suddenly the complainant rode across and stopped their leaders, nearly causing their carriage to come to grief. The complainant took hold of the reins of one of the horses and the leaders turned round directly. If they had turned a little more there would have been great danger. A gentleman and the duke's coachman got down and took hold of the complainant's horse, and desired him to release his hold. The duke celled to him not to touch the leaders, and he touched him with his whip. They were not driving at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour. No part of the drag came in contact with the pony phaeton. Lord Alfred Paget said he was sitting behind his grace. There were two lines of carriages. The pony carriage was a little on the left—a yard and a half or a good distance from them. The basket carriage was in one line and they were in the other. The horses were going a little out of a walk. The carriages in their line were going at the same rate, and the other line very slowly. He saw the com• plainant suddenly ride across the leaders and take hold of the reins and turn them to the left. He was afraid the duke's carriage would be thrown on to the pony phaeton. So gratuitous a thing he never saw in his life. If the duke had not had the w h ee l e rs firm in hand, the drag must have been turned over on the other side. There was a regular pull-up by everybody, and somebody jumped down and caught hold of the leaders. A gentleman got down and stopped the complainant. He saw the complainant come towards the box of the coach, and the duke's whip went up, but whether it was to strike the wheelers or Mr. Metcalf he could not state. He did not see the whip strike anything. He did not believe the coach touched the pony car riage. Joseph Rawlings, one of the duke's servants, gave similar evidence. Mr. Ingham again interposed, but Mr. Metcalf asked for an adjournment to produce other evidence to prove that the coach ran against the phaeton. He pressed for an adjournment, in consequence of the duke having called witnesses to contradict his evidence. The Duke of Sutherland said if he had frightened the ladies, he was very sorry for it. Mr. Metcalf was not satisfied with that apology. He wanted an apology from the duke and the gen tleman for the assault upon him. He should indict the gentleman, who had refused his name, at the sessions. Mr. Ingham thought the Duke of Sutherland ought not to be made answerable for the conduct of the gentleman. The parties conferred together, but they were unable to arrange matters. Mr. Ingham said he was of opinion that the coach did come in contact with the phaeton ; of that, the ladies could not mistake. Being so, Mr. Metcalf could not be found fault with ; but if the coach did not strike the phaeton, he was not justified in touching the horses. After this expression of opinion of his worship, another conference took place, but without any success; and ultimately the summons was adjourned for a week, for Mr. Metcalf to produce other wit nesses. THE ASH 7 ON- UNDER. LYNE TRADE OUI RAGE AND MURDER. ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, NONDAY This morning, at the Town-hall, Ashton, Fredk. Hipwell, Robert Ryan, Michael Burke, Thomas Barlow, John Ward, John Toole, and John Clay Johnson, were placed in the dock on remand, charged with having murdered Police•constable Jump, on the 28th June last, white in the execu tion of his duty. Mr. Cobbett, solicitor, appeared for the prosecu tion - Mr. Torr, barrister for Barlow, Toole, Ward, and Hipwell; and Mr. W. Roberts for the remain ing prisoners. Mr. Cobbett said that Johnson, as the bench must be aware, had made a statement touching the murder, and since then Burke, Barlow, and Hipwell had also made statements. These statements would only be put in each case as evidence against those who had made them. None of the men making the statements would be put in the box, for these state ments were not full and complete enough to warrant the prosecution in putting them in the witness-box. At a future stage of the proceedings, and in another place, it might be deemed advisable to place them in the witness-box, however. The evidence against Ryan and Toole could not be completed to-day, but against the other prisoners it was complete enough to warrant the bench in committing them for trial. The depositions taken at previous examinations having been read over, DI. S. D. Lees said he had made a further post mortem examination of the body of Jump, which had been exhumed, and he had found the second ball. The two balls had taken a parallel course in the body. This ball, found the last, differed from the other, which had the shank of the mould cut off. This had not. He found a mark upon the left side of Ward's forehead, whieh had been deep at first, and made by a cutting instrument. Richard Pickering, superintendent of the Roch dale police, said—After Johnson was apprehended he said he wished to make a statement about this affair, He said he got up at six o'clock on the morning of the 28th June, and found Ward stand ing at his door, and he took him into the cellar. Burke came at 8 o'clock. Ward said there had been a row at Ashton with the police, and that he ex pected one or two of them were dead. Burke sa id that Jump was dead, and the other officer w that expected to live. Johnson afterwards saidrked to when Burke came into the cellar Ward F_ “ r i lli sh a ot first, him, " I shot first." "No," said Burke, When Mr. and thought I had blown his arm as not Johnson were July, Ward, Barlow, Burke, aovned spoke to Con- Higginbottom, the magistrate, cam e, tho 9th of brought up.

And after he had. mrLde the stateClent to me I noticed that his hand tre:mbled, as though he were suffering from delirium 'tremens. He (John son) also said that the police bad been operating upon him the lock-up with chloroform, ether, &c., which, of course, was a delusion. Burke told me that Ityan And Toole had nothing to do with the murder. Did he tell you the same thing about Barlow and Heppenstall 0.0 not remember. By the prisoner Johnson—Did Burke tell you I had nothing to do w ith the murder ? Witness—Yes, he s aid you had not. Are you aware when' I was in the big cell that I asked to be let out of it because there was such a smell of sulphur P—l do alot remember any such application. I remember' you asked to see the superintendent. lam not aa ware that you asked to have a telegraph message se, at to Manchester for Mr. Roberts and Dr. Harrison' ; nor am I aware that you had to walk up and ► . 1.0 wn the room with your handkerchief before yo mouth to prevent the sulphur issuing out of scone cupboards from going down your throat. I saw you put your hat first against one ear and then the oti‘ter. I remem ber your being in a room with three policemen, but. I do not know that they were oporatlng upon you with any apparatus. By the Bench—Some talto hours after Johnson had made his statement he told me that he was not in a fit state of mind to make a further stateinent. The prisoner Johnson — Are• you aware that on one occasion, when the police were charging me with gas and electricity, that r broke the window and called " Murder ?" Witness—l remember a window being broken, but I know nothing about any policemen being with you. Air. Cebbett, in reply to the bench, said that John son was charged with having harbo ured Burke and Ward after the murder had been committed, know ing them to have committed the same. He was not charged with being directly concerned. in the murder. Superintendent Ludlam, after a witness had proved some unimportant matter's as to some foot marks, produced some bludgeons, three men's caps, and a piece of paper, found where the murder was committed. The piece of paper is a portion of an invoice for beer made out against Burke', by a beer seller, named Knott. On the 15th meat, I saw Barlow at the New Bailey Prison, Salford, and said to him, " I have been told you wish to make a state ment about the murder at Smallahaw." He said, " Yes, I want to tell the truth about it." I then warned him, and he made a statement similar to that made by Ward, which is given above. Barlow, however, added that, in the presence of him and Johnson, Ward said that both he (Ward) Land Burke shot Jump. Cross-examined—Ward's wife never refused to let the officers search the house. The caps have not been traced as belonging to anyone, except Burke said one belonged to Ward. Sergeant Thomas Whiley deposed that Thomas Hipwell had made a statement to him about the murder, which was similar to the statements made by the previous prisoners. The principal difference from the other statements was that in Hipwell's he makes mention of five pistols at Ward's on the night of June 27. Ward had one of them, Burke one, Henser one or two, and, he believe d, Ryan had one. He also said that, as he was runninoway, when the struggle commenced, he heard a shot fired, and then two other shots followed. He did not know who fired them. John Watts, police-officer, deposed to appre hendinc, Ward and Burke in Johnson's house at Manchester. Ward gave the name of Knowles, and on taking him to the police-sta tion witness charged him with having been con cerned in the murder of Police-constable Jump. He replied " Oh, is that it ?" Witness also charged him with having been concerned in the attempt to take the life, on the same day as Jump's was taken, of Police-sergeant Harrop, when Ward replied, " Oh, I can bring five or six witnesses to show I was not there." The case was at this stage of the proceedings adjourned. COUNTRY JJIARKE2S. COLCHESTER—JULY 19.
