We are now enabled to furnish our readers with additional particulars respecting the melancholy shipwreck at Mullion, in Mount's Bay, Pelgew Cove, where the vessel came ashore, and lies about half a mile to the eastward, or Lizard side of Gun walloe Cove, which is formed by an indent running between two lofty headlands of rock, and the tide runs at high water over a sandy beach half a mile inside the heads. Great difficulty was expe- 1 rienced in discovering the name of the unfortunate vessel, as the four survivors were unable to make themselves understood by any person who saw them on Wednesday. They knew neither French nor German, and both captain and mate have perished. They appear to be illiterate common seamen, and exceedingly dull, or perhaps exhausted from their perilous adventure. From some papers which came ashore it is believed that the wreck is that of the barque Auguste Padre, Captain Lacori, probably belonging to Trieste, or some other Aus tro-Italian port. She appeared to have been over 300 tons burden, and built for fast sailing, being long and lightly planked, and had a stern poop cabin about 18 feet long, with side berths, &c., nicely fitted up. The floor of the cabin was orna mentally, painted to imitate carpeting. The figure head was the bust of a male, smaller than usual for a vessel of such a tonnage. Wheat appears to have been her cargo, but it is likely she had discharged it, as only a small quantity of grain was observed. The mats which are used for laying under corn were on board in great numbers. On Tuesday evening the wind was moderate from ES.E., but a - strong sea was running in the bay; several vessels were at sundown keep ing under the land, in consequence of its being impossible to weather the Lizard, and a bark was observed among them. During the night the wind veered round to S.W., and blew on the snore vita the force of a hurricane. !snout b o - ciocts on Wednesday morning a Coastguard man first saw the barque ; she was then wearing, with her head to the westward, and it is probable that the captain, observing an opening like the mouth of a harbour, or perhaps distinguishing the beach, decided on running ashore, as it was utterly impossible to stand out to sea, to save his embayed ship. Some of the sails had already broken loose, and were flying in the wind. Mr. Henry Cuttance, of Gun walloe, with some others, as soon as they knew of the vessel's being in the offing, proceeded to the spot where she would be likely to strike, to render assistance, and they were provided with lines, &c., for the purpose, They soon lost sight of her, and conjectured that she had struck more to the west ward, and retraced their steps, but could not dis cover her. It was soon found that she had been carried on a projecting reef at the eastern side of Pelgew Cove. She heeled broadside to the breakers, and drifted up the cove on the flood tide. Stand ing out from the western headland is a detached rock, which rises abruptly to the height of 40ft., and against this huge mass the vessel was forced, with her deck lying towards it. It is not unlikely that before she reached this place part of her crew had been washed off the deck, for only about half-a dozen men were seen on board. Mr. Peter Wil liams, of Angrouse, the nearest farm, hastened to the spot, but was unfortunately unprovided with ropes, which, on observing some men on the rocks, he sent to his house for. Fortunately he found a boathook, and by its means saved the life of one man, The Gunwalloe party now came up, and having thrown aline to two poor fellows who were on a rock, beckoned to th em t o l as h themselves together, but only one made fast the line to his body, and before the rope was again lowered his comrade was dashed by a heavy wave with such force against the cliff as must have instantly killed him, and he was washed out and not seen afterwards. Through the gorge between the cliff and the rock the sea was now running with furious velocity, and it was between the black and rugged sides of this foaming channel, amid broken timber and tangled cordage, two more of the sailors were carried and eventually saved. The vessel now began to go to pieoes, and, first having broken in two parts, large portions of the hull drifted away landward on the top of the tide, and beach and rock were soon covered with frag ments of wreck of all descriptions. Just after she struck, the body of a fine handsome little boy, of about two-and-a-half years of age, was washed ashore, and the persons who took the body from the water describe it as if just awake, having a night dress on, and looking rosy and fresh. The front part of the poop had been washed away, and the infant must have been in a bassinet, which was shortly after picked up, as also a little flock mat tress and quilted counterpane, with a small lace-up boot, which had not been worn. No doubt, the captain's wife was on board, as a chest of woman's linen was found, and a packet with several unused wedding cards. A considerable number of books, principally in the Italian language, were also washed on shore, and their leaves scattered over the beach. The only body found up to Wednesday night was the infant's, and that was taken to Mul lion, where it lies in the. church' awaiting an in quest. The surviving sailors are also at Mullion under the care of Mr. W. Nicholas, who was on the spot during the day, securing the property on be half of Mr. Richard Pearce, of Penzance, Lloyd's agent. The divided hull lay on Wednesday against the large rock with about 30 feet of the stern part, with the mizen mast standing, resting on half its length of the bow, which had been forced by the waves under it. There were thousands of people on the spot during the day, and m o st o f th e wrec k ,was saved, but it is almost valueless. Up to noon on Thursday the portion of the hull remained as described above, the sea having moderated con siderably, There is no doubt as the number of persons lost being 13, the survivors having so enumerated thus on fingers. It is likely that the name of the barque was on a loose board, fas tened to the stem, which got knocked off, as no trace of letters can be observed on the afterpart, although the upper framework of the stern, with cabin, windows, &c., remains uninjured. SPONTANEOUS COMB US A death attended with extraordinary circum stances has just taken place at Cesena (Romagna), in the person of a resident of that town, the Coun tess Cornelia, who had reached the age of 62 with out any kind of infirmity, One night her attend ants observed that, contrary to her usual habits, she appeared rather heavy and sleepy innnediatelyafter supper, but she nevertheless sat up three hours talking with her maid, and then said her prayers and went to bed. The next morning her maid alarmed at not being summoned by the Countess ' long after the ordinary hour, entered her chamber and called to her. Hearing no answer and fearing something had happened she opened the shutters and was horror-struck at seeing the body of her mistress in the state we are about to describe : not more than a yard from the bed was a heap of ashes in which lay two legs--entire from the foot to the knee—and two arms. The head was between the legs. All the rest of the body had been converted into ashes, which when touched left a greasy and fetid humidity on the fingers. On the floor was a small lamp without oil, and on the table stood two candlesticks, the candles of which had lost all their tallow, but the wicks remained unburnt. The bed was uninjured; the clothes lying as they usually do when a person has risen ; all gs of the b e d were covere d w i t h a greyish o CI had even p ene t ra t e d i n t o some d rawers and soiled thelinen they contained. This soot had also found its way into an adjoining kitchen, and covered the walls, furniture, and utensils. The bread in the safe was also covered with it, and when offered to several dogs they would not touch it. In the chamber over the countess's room, the lower part of the windows was soiled with a fatty yellow fluid. The whole atmosphere around was impreg nated with an indescribable and most disagreeable smell, and the floor of the chamber was coated with a thick, clammy, and extremely adhesive moisture. The countess had evidently been consumed by an internal fire. Dr. Bianchi, a physician of the town, pamphlet on the case, thinks a began in the lungs, and was developed that the c oun t ess b e i ng awa k ene d by the dreadful pain, had no d ou bt r i sen t o ge t a i r , perhapsthwhoatduringht ha es sleeppublishedfire r e intending to open the window, but had only been able to leave her bed when she sank under the3,Was devouring her. The Marquis Scipio la fie that ff r ei, who has also writt e n on the same subject, says that the c oun t ess was i n th e habit of rubbing her body with camphorated spirits of wine, which she used frequently, and he thinks that the frequent use of that liquid was one of the causes of her death. 112113DLESEX SESSIONS. The court sat at Clerkenwell, and the bail and softie few custody cases were disposed of; the Assistant-Judge presiding', with a bench of ma gistrates. Francis Ainsworth, 25, was indicted for stealing two loads of straw, the property of the London General Omnibus Company. • Mr. Kemp, instructed by Mr. Beard, proscOUtes for the company ; Mr. Best defended the prisoner. This case, though it occupied a considerable time, was in substance simply this :—The prisoner was sent to Curtain-road, Shoreditch, to deliver straw for the company's horses, and by obtaining a receipt for the delivery of the full quantity, for which he gave 255., he purloined two loads, and by means of the receipt obtained payment. There was no blame whatever attachable to the firm the straw was sent to; it was stated to be the person who gave the receipt. The prisoner was apprehended by Charles Baker, a detective, at Dagenham. The prisoner denied that he was in London at the time, but a witness called on his behalf proved that he was ; and the principal witness was the person who gave the receipt for that which had not been delivered. The prisoner was found guilty; and His Lordship sentenced him to 12 months' hard labour, - remarking that an example must be made in such cases, robberies by servants being of a very serious character. _ _ _ Mary Buller, 31, servant, was indicted for steal ing six silver spoons and other articles, the property of William Royle, her master, a solicitor. Mr. Gresham prosecuted; Mr. Ribton defended. The principal witness was unable to attend in consequence of an approaching confinement, and the evidence being incomplete without hers, the prisoner was acauitted. In the assault case of Chatterton v. Harris, an application was made on a previous day by Mr. Sleigh for the discharge of the recognisances, as the matter had been arranged. The Court granted the application. It will be remembered that this assault was com mitted at the Lyceum Theatre. The other cases were of no interest, and the court adjourned until Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Jan. 24. MANSION-HOUSE.—A genteel-looking lad, named Charles Cole, 18, was this morning brought before the Lord Mayor charged with forging and uttering a cheque for £5O, under very singular cir cumstances. It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of Messrs. Morgan and Co., of Cannon-street, as a supernumerary clerk, and this position gave him an opportunity of seeing the letters, and noticing the signatures of the customers of the firm. Among the latter were Messrs. Levy, wholesale salesmen, of Houndsditch, who keep a banking account with Messrs. John Brown and Co., of Abchurch-lane. The offence imputed to the prisoner appeared to have been committed with very great ingenuity. Having obtained a knowledge of the signature of Messrs. Levy, it appeared that on Wednesday last the prisoner presented himself at Messrs. Brown's bank with a letter addressed to the cashier, which contained an order for a cheque-book, and directions that the amount of the stamps in the cheques should be charged to the account. The cashier gave the prisoner a cheque-book, and he went away with it, and it seemed that yesterday morning the prisoner went up to a commissionaire, and handed him a cheque for £5O drawn upon Messrs. Brown, and apparently signed by Mr. Levy, which he requested him to go and get cashed. The little culprit exhibited a great deal of cool ness in the matter, and told the messenger that he had not time to go into the City himself as he had some other business to do, but he must be sure to be back by 12 o'clock. The commissionaire went with the cheque as he had been directed, but the clerk, although the signature was imitated ex tremely well,:appeared to have entertained suspicion that all was not right, particularly as it appeared that the cheque was the first out of the book that he had given out on the previous day. The com missionaire said that he did not quite like it him self, and in the first place inquiry was made of Mr. Levy, who at once stated that the cheque was a forgery, but the signature was so well imitated, that if any time had elapsed, he said that he should hardly have been able to say whether the signature was genuine or not. Mr. Levy then accompanied the commissionaire to Trafalgar-square, where they found the prisoner waiting, and he was taken into custody. When he was taken to the police-• station the prisoner said that he saw a leport of a case of forgery in the newspapers a short time back, and that this had induced him to commit the act. Packman, a detective officer, said that several similar acts of forgery had been recently committed upon bankers in the City, and he had reason to be lieve that the prisoner was connected with them. The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner,who said nothing in his defence, to a future day. MARLBOROGH• STREET.—The Hon. Otway Toler was charged with obstructing the police in the execution of their duty, and Priscilla Brazier and John Barnes were charged with being drunk and disorderly. Police•const.able A 334 said, about 1 o'clock that morning the defendant Barnes and the woman Brazier were in the Haymarket, drunk and making a great disturbance. Barnes wanted to fight every one that passed, and by his conduct caused a crowd to assemble. He went forward to take Barnes into custody, upon which the woman kicked and struck him repeatedly. Barnes resisted with all his force, and witness had to exert himself to retain his pri soner. He sprung his rattle, and with assistance Barnes was forced towards the station-house, kick ing, fighting, and throwing himself on the ground like a madman. The two defendants Barnes and Brazier were got at last to the station-house and lccked up. Witness wgs quite exhausted through the severity of the struggle with Barnes and the obstruction of the mob. Police-constable Jeffrey, C 49, said he went to the assistance of the last witness. When in Jer myn-street the defendant Toler interfered, and called the police " brutes." There was a great crowd, and the defendant Toler was the foremost person. The defendant said the police were not taking the man to the station the right way. Ile told the defendant it would be much better if he let the police alone and mind his own business. The defendant Toler then threw himself between witness and the defendant Barnes, and seized him (witness) by the collar, saying, " You are a lot of savages." He laid hold of the defendant, upon which the defendant drew back, struck at him, and pushed him against the hoarding. The defendant Toler was eventually taken to the station, and charged with obstructing the police. The solicitor who attended for Mr. Toler cross examined—Did not know how Mr. Toler got the wound on his forehead. Did not strike the de fendant Toler. Police-constable Jeffrey confirmed the evidence of the violence of Barnes and the woman. Mr. Toler followed, crying, " Shame ; that is not the way to take a drunken man." After Mr. Toler pushed the other constable he was taken into cus•- iody, but resisted greatly, and it was in getting Mr. 'loler into the station that his forehead was grazed by the door. In defence Barnes said he had been to the Oxford Music Hall, and on his return home was annoyed by some girls, and all he did was to insist on the police getting their names, and for this ho was taken into custody. The defendant Brazier said she saw some soldiers striking at Barnes, and she interfered. Mr. Toler said he was returning from his club when, seeing a number of people and hearing frantic screams, he stopped to inquire what was the matter. Seeing the police taking Barnes along in what ap peared to him a very rough manner, he remarked what a very stupid thing it was to take a drunken man to the station-house that way. He was smoking a cigar at the time ; the policeman laid hold of him so as to knock the cigar from his lips, and at the same time his head was knocked against a wall and he was dragged into the station-house. When he was in the station-house he said he had no intention to mix himself up with the affairs of strangers. If he had interfered improperly he was sorry for it. Mr. Yardley said it was clear that Barnes was the cause of all that had occurred; it was his violent conduct that caused the crowd and called for the in terference of the police. He should inflict a fine of 40s. or 14 days on him, and a fine of 10s. or seven days on the woman. With regard to the defendant Toler, he had been guilty of great indiscretion by his interference with the police. Probably if the defendant Toler had seen the first of the disturbance he would have known better, and would not have lent himself to obstruct the police while performing their duty. He should fine him 40s. or 14 days' imprisonment. The amount stolen from Mr. B. W. Lacy, of Westbourne-grove, by the gang of swell-mobsmen who have been robbing tradesmen, is not £lOO, as at first reported, but only £2O. WESTMINSTER.—Ann Cavanagh was finally examined, charged with stealing two .£5 notes, and £1 2s. Gil. from St. Margaret's and St. John's Work - house, York-street, Westminster, and Richard Cava nagh, her husband, with feloniously receiving the same. On the morning of the 24th of last March Mrs. Pearse, the matron of the St.. Margaret's Work house, placed two £5 notes and other money in a drawer in her bedroom, and on the following morn ing missed them. The female prisoner, who was a pauper in the workhouse, waited upon Mr. Pearse, and had access to the'room where the notes were deposited. She absconded immediately after supper on the night of the 24th, and her husband, who was also an inmate of the workhouse, discharged himself on the following day. On the Bth instant the pri soners were met in Bridge-street, Westminster, and given into custody. One of the missing £5 notes was traced to the prisoners, who obtained change for it at the end of last March, from Mr. Pye, butter" ; 2, St. James's-street, Old Kent-road, the male prisoner. , putting his name on it. in defence, the fana l ‘e prisoner said " I am not guilty of stealing the notes," and the male prisoner, " I never handled them." Prisoners were committed for trial. Sarah Freeman, a genteel-looking young woman, said to be very respectably connected, was charged with stealing a great quantity of miscellaneous pro perty from the house of her master. The prisoner, who was In the employment of Mr. Dunfea, haberdasher, 19, Victoria-road, Pim lico, was detected in the act cf carrying out a great quantity of property belonging to her master ; and upon an examination of her boxes more was found, together with a gold watch and chain and a great quantity of jewellery. Prosecutor estimated the value of his property at XlO, and said that although the prisoner, with whom he received a high cha• ratter, was unacquainted with his business when she entered into his employment 12 months ago, he gave her £2O per annum, and board and lodging.. The prisoner, who admitted her guilt, outdid not appear the least discomposed, was remanded until Wednesday. John Saunderson, a strong rough-looking fellow, was finally examined, charged with begging. On Sunday evening the defendant, while intoxi cated; placed himself in front of several ladies in the king's-road, Chelsea, and solicited alms. Horsford, an officer of the Mendicity Society, proved that defendant had been twice before con victed of a similar offence. Mr Arnold observed that the condnct he had been guilty of called for full punishment, as it was cal culated in a man of his appearance to create great intimidation. He was committed for a month to hard labour in the House of Correction, and was removed, using the must disgusting language to tho magistrate. LAMBETH.—James Edward Morgan, a licensed broker, and who keeps a large furniture shop, No. 12, in the London-road, appeared before the Hon. G. C. Norton, to answer to a sum mons charging him with unlawfully retaining and taking a larger amount for costs and charges than are allowed by law. Mrs. Elixabeth Howse, a widow, residing in Brighton-place, New Kent-road, deposed that on the 4th instant she employed the defendant to dis train upon the goods of Mr. Samuel Slight, who occupied two rooms in her house, for £lO rent then due and owing to her, and he at once walked up stairs and made a levy. Before doing so, he repre sented himself to be a broker, and expressed his willingness to make the levy, and having placed a man in possession for two or three hours, removed the goods in a truck to his own shop. Some days after he (defendant) told her that he had got the goods condemned for £lO 10s., and said the tenant had agreed to take them at that price. Some days afterwards he told her that he had got part of the money, and expected the whole, and as soon as he got it he should take it to her. This he did not do, and in consequence she sent her servant, and fre quently called at his house herself, without being able to see him; and she ultimately left word that if he did not at once settle with her she should apply to the magistrate on the subject. Soon after this the defendant called on her, when he acknow ledged to having received the £lO and an I 0 U for 10s. more from the tenant, and offered her £7 12s. 4d., which he said was the balance due to her, after taking his expenses. He also told her that she should give him two sovereigns for the trotible he bad been put to in getting out her lodgers. At that time there was a man, named Lord, present, and she then refused to take the money offered, and took out the present summons. In reply to a question from Mr. Norton, The witness said the defendant gave her the bill of his expenses, amounting to £2 7s. Bd., but he had neither offered nor given her the I 0 U for 10s. She further said that the prisoner had not asked her, nor had she offered to pay him more than his legal and ordinary charges, •as a broker. The defence set up for the defendant by his solici tor was, that he had given over the job to Lord, and through him mistakes occurred ; but he (defendant) was willing to pay back any overcharge and ex penses. Dixon, the second usher, here informed the ma gistrate that this was not the first time that Mr. Morgan had been summoned to this court on a com plaint similar to the present, when he endeavoured to get rid of the responsibility by shifting the blame on to Lord, who was somewhat notoriously known as a broker, but in which he failed. Mr: Norton observed that there could be no pre text whatever for alleging that Lord had been the broker, as the defendant had not only undertaken to make the levy, but at once executed it; and it was only on the occasion of the £7 12s. 4d. being offered to the complainant by Morgan that she had seen Lord. The overcharge by the defendant ap peared to be £1 35., and for this the act of Parlia ment gave him (Mr. Norton) the power to convict him in a penalty of treble that amount. The case was a very bad one, and he did not see why he should make the slightest mitigation. The defendant must therefore pay £3 9s. and 2s. expenses. The defendant replied he should do no such thing, for in point of fact the magistrate had no jurisdiction in the case, the rent not exceeding £2O per annum. Mr. Norton soon set him right in his law by tell ing him that it was only where the rent claimed exceeded £2O that the magistrate had not jurisdic tion. An order should be made on him (defendant) for the £3 lls., and if he did not comply with that order an execution would be levied on his goods. The defendant here said he had not a shilling's worth of property, and all the goods in his shop and house belonged to his landlord. Arr. Norton observed that the law in such cases was very properly most stringent. If sufficient goods could not be found to satisfy the execution, the defendant must be committed to prison, there to remain until the money is paid. SOUTH NARK.—George Arkwright, a dark looking man, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with knowingly uttering counterfeit money at the house of Mr. Ray, the Three Compasses, Bermondsey New-road. Lucy Strapp, barmaid to the prosecutor, said the prisoner came into the house the previous evening and called for half a pint of beer. She served him, and he handed her a shilling, which on taking up she perceived to be a counterfeit. Knowing the prisoner had visited the house before, and that bad money was passed, she called her master, who de tained the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The landlord of the house said that on the previ ous day the prisoner tendered him a counterfeit shilling, exactly like the one produced. Witness put it in the fire and saw it melt. He allowed the prisoner to go. He added that the prisoner had been carrying on a wholesale business among the publicans in Bermondsey. One gentleman iu court had a handful he had taken lately. Mr. Combe asked if he could identify the prisoner as the party who uttered them, Witness replied that he believed he could, as he answered the description in every particular. His worship would see that the counterfeit shilling was well executed, and such pieces might deceive very good judges. Mr. Corn be ordered the prisoner to be remanded until Wednesday next, so that the solicitor to the Mint might have an opportunity of investigating the case. Remanded accordingly. WORSHIP-STREET.—Thomas Pearce, a reck less-looking man, of middle age, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a watch from the shop of Mr. King, a watchmaker and jeweller at Kings land. The prosecutor appears to be a victim to theft, for his name is familiar to the public in connection with The daring burglary effected on his premises nearly a month since, when property to the amount of more than £2OOO was alleged to have been stolen, not one-half of which was recovered, and but one of the rogues taken, he being now on remand. From the evidence now adduced against Pearce, it appears that a few days ago he entered prosecu tor's shop, and carelessly requested to be shown a watch hanging up in the window, which was no sooner permitted than he darted out at the door and effected his escape before the shopman could recover from the astonishment such a bold act naturally occasioned. The police, however, succeeded in a-d prehending the prisoner from description, and his identity was sworn to. A remand now proved that he had sold the watch to a general salesman, named Lawrence, in Beech-street, Barbican, on the day following the robbery, and this witness swore that he was induced to buy it from the fellow's repre sentation that he was hard up. Mr. Safford, the clerk, asked what Mr. Lawrence had given for it ? Mr. Lawrence replied 7s. Mr. King said the article was certainly not an expensive one, having been marked up at only 353. Mr. Lawrence observed that the trade price would be about 95., and repeated why he had bought it at less. Benda], the gaoler, asserted that on a future occa sion he should be able to p rove a former convict i on against the prisoner, and th ereon Mr, Knox directed a further remand. FROZE!
