THE SUN, qLONDON, ATTUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1:;%; 7 HR ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. (From the Times Correspondent.) TURIN, Nov. 21. The discussion arising from the Boncompagni in- I terpellation proceeded throughout yesterday and to-day's sitting with exemplary calmness and dig nity. Last evening, on leaving the Chamber, the Ministers held a council, in which the opportunity of dissolving Parliament in the event of a defeat was again taken into consideration. This might evince on the part of Rattazzi and his colleagues so:ne serious apprehension of an unfavourable divi sion ; and it is difficult, indeed, for friend or foe to entertain any other expectation. I have heard some of the very stanchest supporters of the Cabinet de clare that, unless the Government can justify the arrest of Mordini., Pabrizi, &c., upon the ground of a " flagrant offence," their duty to the constitution must be paramount over all party considerations. The cause of M. Rattazzi has also been greatly damaged by a recent short but pithy publication. You are aware that a few weeks previous to the crisis which hurled Baron Ricasoli from power, Professor Berti published those letters of Count Cavour bearing the date of 1856, which gave rise to so much talk in and out of Italy, tvild which were printed for the sole purpose of showing the great regard and esteem of the deceased statesman for his colleague Rattazzi, M. Aynard de Cavour, nephew and heir of the Count, with a view better to reveal the reek mind of his illustrious relative on the merits of the present Prime Alinister, yesterday gave out ',ne following note, a ddressed, I believe, to Far'tni, then Dictator in the .Emilia, and bearing a 1. .. r more recent date than the documents in M. I ;;erti's pamphlet. I think it will be read with great interest in England by those who recall the Italian vicissitudes of that time : " Dec. 25, 1859. " I will not relate to you the history of my appointment as Italian representative to the Congress (of Zurich) ; all the intrigues, all the lowest arts were set at work to render it impossible. Dabormida and La Marmora, however, have no hand in. these. It will be easy for you to guess who the authors of them were. If they did not tarty their point, they succeeded in adding difficulty to ray most arduous mission, by revealing the antipathies, the rancours, and base jealousies, with which certain persons honour me. . I:accepted, nevertheless, because, had I refused, I should have had necessarily to proclaim an antagonism fatal to Italy; but, by accepting, I feel that I have made the greatest sacrifice a public man may make to his country, not only by consenting to bear cruel insults in silence, but also by acceptin c a mission from a Government which in spires too neitler with esteem nor confidence. " C. CAVOUR." The effect of this letter was all the greater on the Pub l ..ic who read it, as it was too well remembered tb.st the readiness to self-sacrifice of Cavour availed Italy but little, and that the intrigues of his ene mies prevailed against him so far that, in spite of his acceptance, another man was sent to the Zurich Congress. Boncompagni's speech was thoroughly to the pur pone. He summed up all the arguments urged &gains t the Ministerial policy in his lately published pamphlet, to which I have alluded in a previous letter, and IP,AId before the Ministers the following distinct questions : "Wb'at were the means employed by Government to pre vent she Garibaldi expedition, and to undeceive those who tb.ou.-ght it met with the approbation of the Government? 2. Why did they not call Parliament together? 3. Why, again, was not Parliament summoned at the time that the state of siege was proclaimed, that it might sanction with its votes such measures as circumstances required ? 4, What have the Ministers achieved for the internal organisation of the kingdom ? 5. How happens it that the Ministers find themselves further than ever from a solution of the Roman question ?" The drift of Boncompagni's speech was to refer all the mischief done by the Rattazzi Cabinet to its origin. Coining, as they did, to power in the teeth of an hostile majority both in Parliament and in the country, they strove to lean on the support of Garibaldi. Hence Aspromonte. Gari baldi was a hero, but he had all the fervour of ima gination, the impetuosity and impatience which characterise most heroes. The apparent or real accord of the great vr,fiunteer leader with the Go vernment gave rise to those illusions which Sarnico had not wholly dispelled, and which led the country to the brAuk of civil war. The orator proceeded to aciver.'t. upon the state of siege, on the undignified hesitation of the Government as to the amnesty, upon the general disorder in the administration, &c.; he censured the foreign policy pursued by Rattazzi, as by clinging too passively on the French alliance he had estranged a no less generous and powerful friend—England. Tne orator concluded by calling Rattazzi himself to witness that he (Boncompagni) was actuated neither by ambition nor enmity. He had gone through the various phases of public life in Piedmont and Central Italy, and never made, to his knowledge, an enemy. These last words were spoken with deep-set con viction, as by a man well aware that they could not be gainsaid. In Italy, at least, there is not a man who would not lay his hand in the fire in sup- port of the high honour and principle of Boncom . pagni; and if the result of the present debate were to place him at the head of a new Administration, it would certainly not be on the score of want of honesty and true patriotism that any man or party Would pat forth any objection to him. Mordini then rose on a " personal fact"—that is, a question concerning him personally. No man in the Chamber boasts a handsomer countenance, a finer voice, or a more impressive delivery than Mordini ; and the modesty and temperance with which he pre ferred his grievance and that of his fellow-captives, Niccola Fabrizi, Calvino, and Cadolini, conciliateo his hearers. He gave a very terse narrative of the transaction. On the 23d of August, having parted with Garibaldi at Catania, Mordini and Fabrizi pro ceeded by land to Messina, and there embarked for Genoa. On the 26th, in the afternoon, the steamer stopped at Naples, and they landed for a few hours, and put up at the Hotel de Rome. The steamer was to leave for Genoa on the morrow; but on the mor ro Ai, between 10 and 11 a.m., as they were awaiting the hour of starting, they were arrested ; 24 hours elapsed, and they wrote to La Marmora to know the cause of their arrest ; 24 hours later I. e., 48 from their arrest—La Marmora informed them that they were arrested because they had been in Sicily to favour Garibaldi's enterprise. If there was any truth in the charge, there was certainly no case of " flagrancy." Mordini added that their letters to the President and Vice-President of the Chamber, written on the 30th of August, and said by the authorities to have been forwarded on the 31st, never reached their destination. The orator com mented at fall length on the legal interpretation that could be given to the words "flagrante reatu ;'' h e contended that, whether La Marmora had acted t ' 4 own accord, or in consequence of instructions from (i 'verument , the latter must bear all the re sponsibility Of its subordinate agent, as news of the arrest of these trans mitted to the Ce ntral deputies had been trans- Tara' Government by the telegraph, and yet their con finement in the Castel dell' Uovo lasted fully 4ud the amnesty, ey,isl h and was only put an end to by Mordini's speech, ia nowise concerned them.

VIENNA, Nov. 20. , - The debate on the Army Estimates for 1863 was yester day brought to a close, the Government having agreed to submit to a reduction of 6,000,000fi. On the 18th inst. one of the superior employes in the War-office gave to the Lower Chamber of the Reichsrath a detailed account of the way in which the "War Budget" for 1863 had been drawn up. He stated that the first draught of it, which was made in December last, had been subjected to a strict revision, and that on a return of the Minister of War from the jour ney which he not long ago took for the benefit'of his health it had again been revised. After the supplies for the year 1862 had been voted, Count Degenfeld found means to effect a saving of 1,100,00011. in his department. Dr. Giskra, the reporter to the Finance Committee, having stated that he had always received from the Minister of War the informa tion he required, Count Degenfeld rose and expressed him self to the following effect : c; An army, if it is to be of real service, must have a high opinion of its importance to the State. This feeling is ac quired by a sense of its own fitness for action, and by the conviction that its services are duly appreciated by the country at large. Should the army be over-much reduced, its self-confidence would be shaken, and the Government is therefore of opinion that 92,000,000 ft. must, ' in time of peace,' be placed at the disposal of the War Department. At a later Teriod the extraordinary outlay for the army may, perhaps, be greatly reduced ; ' but, as things now stand in Italy, in the Tyrol, Istria, Dalmatia, and in some other parts of the empire' (Hungary, Croatia, &c.), the Government cannot agree to a larger reduction than 5,000,0001" To this Pr. Giskra replied that 8,000,000f1. would be saved to the country if the army in Italy were placed on a peace footing, a thing which might be done without any risk. On hearing this, the Minister for Foreign Affairs said that the army in Italy could not be reduced, "as all the Powers are still arming, and the Kingdom of Italy is exerting itself to the utmost to raise an army of 400,000 men." When Count Rechberg had ceased speaking, M. von Schmerling observed that the state of things at home rendered a further reduction of the army unadvisable. To this Dr. Giskra replied that, notwithstanding the differences between the various nationalities, peace and order every where prevail, though all the forces, excepting those in Italy, are on a peace footing. Yesterday the debate was continued, and at the beginning of the sitting the Minister of War stated that, as the political horizon was somewhat clearer, he and his colleagues would nut object to a reduc tion of 5,000,0001, if it was made in the extraordinary out lay. After a long and animated discussion, it was agreed that the proposed entire outlay for the army should undergo a reduction of 6,000,000 fl , so that the Austrian War Budget for 1863 will be 111,000,000f1. After this impor tant matter had been settled, Gr. Giskra inquired what the Government intended to do with the troops belonging to the Duke of Modena, and was told by the Minister of War that he should require a " supplementary credit" for them, as they, for the present, would remain in Austria.

Very great distress prevails in . Montenegro, neither man nor beas Ricasoli. De Sanctis is a deep thinker, and a man having the means of satisfying the cravings o f na t ure . of great learning. He has lived long in Germany, and, as I believe, been a Professor of Philosophy in one of the German Universities. He delivered a long and extremely clever and important speech, dwelling, perhaps, at too great a length on general abstractions for so numerous an audience, but again and again coming to the question in a very efficient manner. He said the country could only be saved by Parliament, provided its various fractions could coalesce in two very distinct and powerful parties —a compact Liberal Conservative majority, and a legal but bold and enterprising opposition. He looked upon these two parties as existing for a long time in Italy, headed one of them fora long time by Count Cavour ; the other by General Garibaldi. He contrasted the conduct of the prisoner of Aspromonte with that of the successors of Cavour. He acknow ledged that Garibaldi had been wrong ; but he had at least very dearly atoned for his error, and had stopped at the last extremity and recoiled with hor ror from civil bloodshed. Not so the Government. Repression on their part was a sacred duty, but they had carried it beyond all limits. It might have been necessary to fight Garibaldi, but it was needless and bootless to prolong his sufferings after his fall. The state of siege may have been an unavoidable mea sure, but it was extended to districts which gave no offence, and continued when all occasion for it was removed. The soldiers who overcame Garibaldi had certainly done their duty—a sorrowful duty; but nothing can excuse a Government which could award crosses and medals to men who had, no matter for what reason, shed fraternal blood. La Marmora may have been justified, under the circumstances, in arresting members of Parliament; not so the Go vernment, which ought to have perceived the error -which their embaltern had incorrect and either re paired it or proved the legality, or at least the op portunity of so decisive and perilous a step. De Sanctis proceeded to examine the foreign question, and contrasting the conduct of the pre sent Ministers with that of their predecessors, he severely blamed the Durando circular, which he described as a vain and ludicrous protest, which could have no meaning unless it were backed by deeds—deeds which, under the circumstances, were out of the question—and the effect of which was simply to call down upon Italy that note of M. Drouyn de Lhuys, by which it would seem as if all the aspirations of Italy to Rome were for ever dashed to the ground. The orator, however, thought that the Emperor would, even in spite of himself, be driven to the necessity of doing justice to Italy, as his very origin compelled him to move forward and to base the greatness of France on the alliance of an united Italy and an united Iberia, placing her thus at the head of the Latin races. 2IIL .NAVY. Letters received yesterday by our Chatham cor respondent, dated" Fortress Monroe, Virginia, Nov. 9," announcing the departure from that place, on the 28th ult., of her Majesty's screw steamers Cad mus, 21, 400-horse power, and Racer, 11, 150- horse power, the latter on her way to England, calling at Halifax, to be put out of commission. The Cadmus was absent on a cruise till the 2d of November, when she returned to Fortress Monroe, at which was also lying the screw sloop Petrel, 11, 150 horse power. Gen. Dix, Governor of Fortress Monroe, accompanied by his staff, visited the Cad mus and Petrel on the 3d inst. At noon on the 9th inst. both ships were dressed in colours and a royal salute fired by each in honour of his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales arriving at age. The salutes were returned by the guns from the fort. An Admiralty order has been received at Chatham announcing that the usual examination of candidates for apprenticeship by the Civil Service Commis sioners will not take place in the month of January next, as it is not intended to enter any apprentices in the dockyard during the next half-year. Yesterday preparations were commenced in No. 4 dock, at Chatham, for the reception of the paddlewheel steamer Promethus, 5, 200 horse power, which is to undergo a thorough overhaul and repair, her repairs being rendered necessary in consequence of the length of time she was sta tioned on the coast of Africa. The last advices from Australia report the fol lowing ships on that station :—The Fawn, 17, Capt. Cator, at Hobart Town; the Harrier, 17, Capt. air Malcolm INUCiregor, at New Zealand ; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jenkins, at Melbourne; the Pioneer, 6, Capt. Reilly, on a cruise to the northward; and the Orpheus, 21, Commodore Burnett, at Sydney. The Lily, 4, screw steam gunvessel, 702 tons, 200-horse power, was yesterday taken out of Sheer- ness dockyard on trial of her machinery, which has been undergoing some slight alteration. Com mander H. Harvey had charge of. the vessel, her engines being under the superintendence of Mr. Rumble, Inspector of Machinery Afloat, and Mr. Townsend. She sailed round the Mouse Light and back, everything working in a most satisfactory manner. The Lily will be taken out on her trial trip on Thursday next, previously to proceeding to her destination. About two months since there appeared in The Sun an account of an experiment tried in Plymouth Sound on a merchant steamer, the Volunteer, fitted with Mr.Mulley's newly-invented auxiliary rudder. That experiment was so successful that the Lords of the Admiralty shortly afterwards appropriated the screw steam Cordelia, 11 guns, of 579 tons and 150-horse power, to the use of the inventor, and she was accordingly fitted with the auxiliary rudder under the port quarter. It consisted of nine bars of American elm 6 inches wide by 4 inches thick, the area being 9 feet long by 4/ feet wide. The auxi liary was made of ban to fall somewhat into the shape of the quarter, and the entire frame was hinged at the fore end, and was opened out aft by gyes worked from the deck when required for use. So equipped, she went into the Sound yesterday, when a trial took place, under the superintendence of Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., of the guardsbip of steam reserve Indus; Mr. Peake, master builder, De vonport dockyard ; and Commander Brown, master attendant, and the inventor. The result was most un expected. The ship's helm being put hard to starboard, a complete revolution, without the interference of the auxiliary, was made in 6 min. 26 sec. The auxiliary, tried alone, was found not in any degree to affect the ship's course ; this was attributed, in some measure, to the fact the Cordelia is supplied with a left-handed screw. The helm and the auxi liary being both put to starboard, the circuit occu pied 7 min. 37 sec., the auxiliary thus retarding in stead of assisting ►he revolution. These experi ments were repeated under various conditions, with a uniform result. The quickest revolution (4 min. 50 sec.) was accomplished when the rudder was placed in opposition to the auxiliary. The longest (7 min. 37 sec.) was when the auxiliary power was added to the action of the ordinary helm. These results appeared to be inexplicable to all on board the Cordelia. Major-Gen. Brook Taylor. Col. J. L. A. Simmons, commanding the Royal Engineers at Aldershot, has obtained leave of absence until the 11th of January next. he Nile, Syria, Palestine, the Archipelago, Sicily, and all Italy, from Naples, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Mi au, Venice, Turin, across the Alps to Switzer,- land, and thence to Dijon, he stated that in making such a detour from the regular track he had run short of means; and although he had written to Messrs. Matheson, his hankers, at Calcutta, and Messrs. Lyon and Dodd, his solicitors, his dividends, Which he casually quoted at £B6O, had not arrited, and he, therefore, requested the loan of £3O to enable him to take his boys to Dartmouth. He then went on to state that he waa a widower, 38 years of age, and had married the niece of Sir B. Frere, of the Legislative council, Bengal, and offered not only to repay the loan, and to pay a year in advance, but promised to get Mr. Vaughan two more pupils, sons of Mr. Grant, the Deputy-Gover nor of Bengal. Re was "xceedingly anxious that the amount should be forwarded in one Bank of England note through the British Consul at Calais or Boulogne, which he urged would be an offi cial guarantee for his identity and respectability, and that no delay should occur, as he did not wish his " fine noble boys," who had been used to officers' society from the age of five, to be uselessly idling away their time at Dijon. Mr. Vaughan's reply to this letter intimated that he had discovered the mala fides of his correspondent, and in commu nicating with Mr. Schultz the rev. gentleman said he feared this species of deception was not the darkest part of the colonel's career, as he had ascertained that he had advertised repeatedly for young ladies to fill the situation of governess, with the view of inducing poor and friendless girls to go abroad and to get them in his power, Mr. Vaughan said ho was a man of peace, but he should, n owtheless, like to teach the fellow the meaning of muscular Chris tianity. It further appeared by a letter from a newsagent in King-street, St. James's, that Colonel Fane obtained a regular supply of the Times, and the insertion of his advertisements, both of which Mr. Vaughan's inquiries put an end to, In that case very little cunning was exercised by the colonel, who merely wrote to the proprietor of an hotel in Jermyn-street, St. James's, stating his in tention of taking up his quarters there for the win ter, and requested that newspapers might be for warded to him in the interim, Mr. R. A. White, soli citor, ofGlantham,advertised for information relative to the *hereabouts or death of John Mills Taylor, formerly of Sproxton, near Melton Mowbray, and latterly of Newark-upon-Trent, and received a reply from the colonel in the name of Alfred Ainsworth Fynn, dated from the B igniere de Luchori, Haute Garonne, offering to go before the British consul at Marseilles, whom he said he well knew, and make the necessary affidavit as to the death of " his old friend" Sohn Mills Taylor, and requiring a Bank of England note for IN to defray his hotel and tra velling expenses to and from Marseilles. He repre sented he was well known to M. Charles `iron, the mayor of the town where he was staying, and fur ther offered, if his affidavit were not necessary, to supply the required information on the receipt of a Bank of England note for £lO. But as Mr. White declined to part with any money for information which might prove valueless, and intimated that certain formal and official certificates would be ne cessary with regard to the death, burial, and identity of the missing individual, Mr. A. A. Fynn, alias P. Neville, alias Richard Brooke, alias Col. Neville Fane, abruptly declared off. The name of Fynn will probably be recognised by many of our readers as that of a notorious person who was exposed by Sir R. W. Carden about 18 months ago at the Man sion-house. On that occasion it transpired that several young ladies had been induced by the liberal terms offered by Fynn to accept the situation of governess and found too late how egregiously they had been deceived, having been inveigled abroad for the worst of purposes. BOW-STREET.—Charles Browne and Henry Johnson, alias Taylor, alias Smith, were brought before Mr. Henry on the charges of loitering in Tottenham-court-road, with a view to commit felony, attempt to commit highway robbery, and violently assaulting two police-officers. The prisoners were observed by Sergeant Lam bert, E division (who was in private clothes), loi tering about in Tottenham-court-road, between Francis-street andChenies-street,in a suspicious man ner. At the corner of Chenies-street he heard Johnson say to Browne, " Here is a chance," at the same time pointing out a man who was crossing the road. Browne replied, " Oh, let him go, he has not got any super" (a slang word understood to mean a watch). They then allowed the man to pass by. The constable concealed himself in a doorway, and after a while saw them attack another passenger. He rushed across the road to assist the gentleman. Upon seeing him they ran off, and escaped from him. Shortly afterwards he met with Sergeant Ryan (also of the E division), with whom he went in search of them. In about twenty minutes he found them in Tottenham-court-road, and leaving Ryan, who was in uniform, a little behind, he went up to them and took them in custody. Browne seized him by the throat, saying " If you don't let me go, you --, I will knife you ;" and after a struggle got away, but was pur sued by Ryan. During the struggle which followed between Johnson and Lambert the former dropped a lanthorn and a crowbar which were at once snatched up by a woman, who ran away with them. With the assistance of some persons who happened to come up, Lambert con veyed Johnson to the station-house. In the mean while Ryan followed Browne, who was running along Tottenham-court-road, and overtook him near Cumberland-street. Browne took a crowbar from his pocket and beat him about the head with it, smashing his hat and stunning him. He again got away, but was stopped by a gentleman, who detained him till Ryan, recovered from the stun ning, came up and took him into custody. The crowbar, a formidable weapon, was produced. Johnson, after giving two false names, admitted that his real name was Smith, and gave his eorrect address. He admitted that he had been previously convicted. Both prisoners denied that they were the persons who attacked the man in Tottenham-court-road. Browne said if he ever had a chance, he would " pay" Ryan. They were remanded for further investigation. CLERKENWELL.—A YOUNG WOMAN FROM THE COUNTRY CHARGED WITH BEING DRESSED AS A MAN.—A respectably-attired young woman, who gave the name of Margaret Norton, described as of no occupation, was charged before Mr. Barker with being drunk and incapable of taking care of her self, in the Southgate road. It appeared that the defendant was attired in man's clothing on the previous night, a little after 11 o'clock, and, as she was drunk and incapable of taking care of herself, she was taken to the Kings land police station, and was bcked up. It was stated that the defendant had come to town on a visit, and she had attired herself in man's clothes for the purpose of having a spree. The defendant, who seemed to feel her position acutely, said she was sorry, and would never do so any mote. Mr. Barker discharged her with a caution. MARYLEBONE. THE ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER IN UHURCH-STREET.—James Wadden, described as a hairdresser, was brought up on re mand before Mr. Yardley, charged with having attempted to murder his wife, Harriet Maria Col chester, by cutting her throat with a razor. It will be remembered that on last Sunday night week the unfortunate wife went with her husband to the coffeeshop at which they had been accus tomed to sleep, 3, New Church-street, Edgware road, and where they retired to their room about 11 o'clock at night. After about an hour's time, the landlord (Mr. Cobley) and his lodgers were aroused by loud screams of " Murder," and on breaking open the door of the room in which prisoner and his wife were, saw them both in their nightdresses, covered with blood. Prisoner said his wife had cut her throat, on which she turned her head as well as she was able, and shook it, as much as to say " No." Medical gentlemen were called in, and by their ad vice Mr. Yardley was sent for, and took the poor woman's depositions. Since then Mr. Kirby, of Connaught-terrace, and Mr. Oreaves, of Newcastle place, Edgware-road, have been in constant attend ance upon her, and to-day the following certificate was handed in by Mr. Burrows, of the D division, who said ho would not then tender any further evi dence : " Nov. 24, 1862.—5ir,- - We beg to report that the health of Hannah Maria Colchester Wadden is improving daily, the chief drawback being spasmo dic attacks of coughing. The wound is granulat ing healthily, but at present there is no tendency of it to close. She still breathes entirely through the wound is the front part of the neck. She mis carried on Saturday night, at 11.45, with a small child, dead. She is doing well, and we ho, ei❑ a few days to report her to be out of danger.—Signed by Mr. KIRBY, surgeon of the police, and Dr. GREAVES, The prisoner was remanded for another week. It is understood that in addition to the charge of attempted murder, a charge of bigamy will be brought against the prisoner, a number of the rela tives of the first wife, who is still living, being pre sent, with the marriage certificate, which is signed in the same name as he (prisoner) now gives. WORSHIP-STREE l'.—A GOLD BED. —Fanny W . intwortn, 15, and Alice Gosley, 14, finely - g rown gi!ls, we re c h arge d b e f ore M r . Cooke, the former with stealing £l4 10s. in gold from her parents, and the latter with knowingly receiving the same. Mr. Beard defended Gosley. The mother of Whitworth said her husband was a dock labourer, Ate added to the little money re ceivals by turning a mangle. There *t"...t , a fanliiY of six children, yet she had been able to put by small amoUnts at different times, which on Saturday last amounted to £29. This, in different sums wrapped in paper, she, when opportunity offered, i placed in the tick of her bed, and in the mattress lunder it. On Friday last she missed half a sove reign, and mentioned the fact to her daughter the prisoner. Subsequently 1S sovereigns were missed, taken from the various parcels, and then the girt ad mitted having taken .1.2 10s., which she said siie had ) lent to her companion Gosley. A few hours after wards she returned a sovereign, saying that Gosley had restored it. The bulk of the money, however, could not be heard of. 215, N division, said he apprehended Gosley on Saturday night last. She insisted that the £2 10s. was all Whitworth had give❑ to her, and that she believed it had been honestly come by. She was a hard-working girl. Mr. Beard strongly contended thf , t there was not the slightest proof of his client's guilty knowledge, the other girl having manifestly led her into par ticipation of the offence. Mr. Cooke remanded the prisoners. HAMMERSMITH. —A SERVANT'S INTRIGUE. —A young man named Joseph Thornton, was charged before Mr. Dayman with having been in the area at the residence of Admiral Hutcheson, of 29, Norland-square, Notting-hill, supposed for an unlawful purpose. The Admiral stated that he was called up by the police between four and five o'clock that morning on account of the prisoner having been found in his area. The most extraordinary ;vart of the affair was that his servant, who slept upstairs, was down, and told him that the prisoner had asked her fcir a fe, matches and she gave him some. The witn ess so stated that he recognised the prisoner as having seen him leave his area with a lump of coal about three weeks ago, and when he questioned the ser vant about it she told him that she knew nothing of him nor the coal. Police-constable Lewis, 325 T, said that about half-past four o'clock that morning he was on duty in Norland-square, when he heard the voices of persons talking in the area of No. 29, and the pri soner afterwards climbed over the gate. He stopped the prisoner, and asked what he had been doing in the house, to which he replied that he had not been in the house, but that he had been talking to the servant outside the railing. He afterwards told him that she put a chair to enable him to get down the area. The prisoner told the constable that he had been previously talking to the servant, but the officer denied the allegation. Mr. Dayman asked the prisoner to explain the reason of his being at the Admiral's house at that time of the morning. The prisoner said that he was at work upon the job. This was explained that the Admiral's house and other houses in the square had been under ex ternal repair, and the prisoner was one of the labourers employed at the works. He added that he came from Stratford on Sunday night, and reached Norland-square about two o'clock in the morning. He was supposed to go to work at seven o'clock, but he lodged near the square, and was going home. As he passed the Admiral's house he saw the servant, and she invited him down for half an hour. She provided him with a chair to get down and a chair with which he could get up. Admiral Hutcheson said he had nit missed any thing. He wished, however, to have a remand for the attendance of the servant. Mr. Day man thought the case was explained. It was a little bit of intrigue between the servant aria the prisoner. Admiral Hutcheson said she had been in his ser vice six months, and had behaved remarkably well. Mr. Dayman remarked that it was strange she was down about the house at that time in the morning. Admiral Hutcheson supposed it was by appoint ment. He was, however, only desirous of obtaining the truth. Mr. Dayman thought the truth was very trans parent. There was sufficient intelligence for the ad miral to act upon, and he co uld make any inquiry of the young woman he chose. The prisoner said be did not go there for any un lawful purpose. Mr. Dayman said it was not for any good pur pose, quite the contrary. The prisoner was then discharged. THE ALLEGED COMMERCIAL FRAUD. James Crowther and Samuel Goodburn, two re spectable middle-aged men, who were p ied at the bar on last Monday week upon a charge of ooni;Pir ing together in obtaining, by false pretences, sums to the amount of about £7,000, with intent to de fraud their employers, Messrs. Laing and Merri dew, appeared yesterday before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, in answer to their recognisances, to undergo a further examination upon that charge. Mr. Wontner again prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh, barrister, instructed by Messrs. Hillyer and Fen wick, appeared on behalf of the defendant Crow ther, and Mr. Geo. Lewis appeared for the de. fen dant Goodburn. Mr. Wontner signified his intention of calling Mr. Barber as a witness, and said he thonght he would be the only additional evidence that would be re quired. It will b 3 remembered that on the last examina tion, Mr. Laing, of the firm of Laing and Merridew, was the only witness examined. Mr. Sleigh now said he tehould like to put a ques tion or two to Mr. Laing, and he was accordingly again called into the witness-box. In answer to Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Laing said—The transactions between our firm and Mr. Barber amounted to several thousand pounds per annum for the last several years, the entries being made by Goodburn and another clerk in our books. Upon a purchase being made in the market the entry would be immediately made in the contract book, sometimes, not always, by the per son who effected the purchass. The contract books are all still in existence. The contract I referred to with Messrs. Northcote and Son is entered in our books, and our commission charged as brokers and received by us. I said on the last occasion Crowther had since been carrying on business on his own ac count, but I have since ascertained he was a clerk I have spoken my mind respecting him. I have been called upon by some person to arrange Crowther's accounts, but I refused to entertain it. Crowther sent Mr. George Evans to; me, offering to give me any explanation I might require. My reply was that Crowther bad told me so many lies I would not believe him upon his oath. I told Mr. Evans to tell Crowther to send me a copy of all the transactions with Barber, but I have never had it. I never said I would not let Crowther rest until I drove him out of the market. Mr. Lewis, on behalf of Goodburn, said he should like to cross-examine the witness before Mr. Barber was called, and in answer to him Mr. Laing said—Barber's account commenced in 1853. 1 think it commenced with a purchase of tar tar only. I think that was paid for in cash. From 1853 to 1855 it was paid for partly by cash and partly in manufactured articles. The first dealing in saltpetre was in June, 1855. It was Goodburn's duty to credit him with the tartaric acid or the cash when paid, in the ledger. From 1853 to June, 1855, I looked over Barber's account from time to time. In June, 1855, there appears to be about £5OO due to us from him. In 1855 a fresh business was introduced between us and Barber. It was the purchase of saltpetre through us as brokers in addition to the tartaric acid. Between 1855 and 1861 I went over the ledger account of Barber several times in each year, and always made inquiries. When that new business was introduced nothing was said to the defendant about the limit of Barber's account. I did not consider it requisite to caution them any more about it. On one occasion I told Goodburn not to let the account go over £5OO. The payment for the saltpetre was made in refined saltpetre or cash. In every year I went over the account in the ledger between Barber and ourselves several times. I thought Barber was a man of limited means, and a man it was not safe to trust over £5OO. It was a stipulation between us and Barber that he should deal through our house alone. I was aware that Barber had not any saltpetre refin ing works till 1855. Between 1855 and 1861 Bar ber might have paid us, in cash and manufactured articles, as much as £BO,OOO. We charged Barber one per cent., and one per cent. for selling : one balf per cent. on buying was because we made advances on the warrant.s. We also charged five per cent. interest on the balance. The interest de pended upon the state of the market. It was very likely to have been as much as eight per cent. at times. Our firm was in the habit of entering into contracts for the purchase of saltpetre for Barber. We entered into contracts most likely to the extent of £3,000. It was debited to Barber, and would become his, subject to payment. If £3,000 worth of saltpetre purchased at Liverpool was purchased without warrants and conveyed to Barber's premises without any security, it was by the prisoners, and not with my or my partner's knowledge or sanction. I have had a partner named P ge, who left were lett the 1859. h 9 ink The he balance b‘ due time,fiexrmamiinnetdheatbethgeinning of and I f r om Barber was about £6 ,000, bu t t I understood from Goodburn that we h eld securities to cover t hat amount.

Blh y the gunnery instruc tort the same time made use of to th struckd highly e insubordinate l anguage. The prisoner, when before the court, admitted his crime, but urged that he had been drinking. He has been in the corps between three and four years, his charac ter during that time being very indifferent, and he has been previously tried and convicted by court martial. The battalion having been formed into square, under the command of Col. Lemon, C. 8., commandant of the division, the finding and sen tence of the court was read by the adjutant. The sentence was four years' penal servitude. immedi ately after it was read the prisoner was handed over to the prison authorities to undergo his punish ment, in addition to which he will be discharged from the corps. At the same parade of the battalion Col. Lemon presented a silver meda;, which, toge ther with a gratuity of a, had been awarded by the• Lords pf the Admiralty to John Holt, private of the Roza]. Marines, lately on board the Hero, 89, for long service and good conduct. Major-General Lord G. Paget, C. 8., having pro ceeded on leave of absence, the command of the Cavalry Brigade at Aldershot has devolved 'upon THE FEA.RPUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. A letter dated Newcastle, Saturday night, gives the following details of the disastrous accident : "All the horrors of the Hartley catastrophe have been brought to our remembrance to-day through a fearful explosion of gas which occurred in Walker Colliery, three miles from this town, about 6 o'clock this morning, by which 16 men and lads have lost their lives. Walker Colliery is among one of the oldest in the coal trade, having been at work nearly a century, and is about the last of the famous old Wallsend collieries working, all the others having been drowned out. It has two pits, the Ann and the Jane, the shafts being about a quarter of a mile apart, and the depth 160 fathoms. The shaft of the Jane pit has only been reopened about nine months, after being widened and enlarged, and the coals are brought to bank by that shaft, which is downacast. The seam which the colliery is working is not the old household coal seam, which has made Wallsend famous all over the world, but the low seam ; the coal taken from it being principally for manufac turing and steam purposes, To-day was pay Saturday at the pit, and the pitmen were not employed in the mine ; it was laid off, and pre parations had been made for a l irge Sunday school tea party, to be held to-night. It is usual, how ever, when the pit is laid off, for the shifters, stonemcn, and others, to' red it' up, as it is termed, doing any odd jobs in the air-ways and other parts of the workings; in fact, to put it in good order for the men resuming work on the Monday morn- tag, Between 20 and 30 men and lads employed about the pit in this way had gone down about two o'clock ; and, so far as can be at present ascertained, the explosion occurred between half-past five and six this morning. Two bankamen, named Charles Robson and Joseph Richardson, heard the sound of a tremendous rush of air up the working shaft of the colliery where they were stationed, and on looking in that direction they observed steam and a cloud of fragments flying from the pit's mouth. They informed Charles Cooper, the enginewright, of the fact, and the alarm that an explosion had occurred spread to the village. Before seven o'clock three men were brought up at the up-cast shaft. They were named Chambers, Knox, and Collins. They were all alive, but each was suffering from the effects of gas and fright, as well as from the shock they had received by being thrown down when the explosio❑ occurred. From their statements it seems that there would be 25 men in the pit, some of whom were working in-bye' at a considerable distance from the mouths of the shafts. It is sup posed that some of these men had been at work in a trouble,' and had fired shots, from which the explosion may have occurred. The injured men were taken home, and were attended by Dr. Rich ardson, who reports that alt who had come up alive are likely to recover. They describe the first warn ing they had of the explosion as like the sound of a hurricane, and its effect on themselves was to throw them violently down. The stoppings, brat tices, &c., in the colliery workings are all destroyed, and the mine is thrown into confusion. Mr. Cole, the resident viewer, was among the first to descend the pit. Mr. Jobling, the principal engineer, and one of the owners of the colliery (which is the pru perty of Messrs. Lambert, Nicholson, and Co.), Mr. M. Dunn, inspector of Coal Mines, and Mr. Potter, of Cramlington, mining engineer, have been down the pit. Those who have walked as far in the workings as they possibly could had seen three dead bodies, and it is feared that several others had shared the fate of their unfortunate comrades. " The miners who descended to explore the mine came up much exhausted, and state the air to be very bad. All the horses, nine in number, and 21 ponies, are killed. " From the nature of their employment, the men and lads who are killed would be scattered about the pit when the explosion occurred, and that it was violent and sharp may be inferred by the fact that the bodies which have been found were lying not far from the shaft, and that a purtiuu of the seam of coal was set on fire. An exploring party who went do wL the pit this afternoon reported that they found a collyman dead, very much charred, and lying to the north of the shaft at the branch-way ends; also the body of a boy shockingly burnt, at the entrance of the waste. Mr. Telford, Mr. Hurst, and other colliery viewers, were at the pit this even ing assisting, and every exertion is being made to thoroughl3 restore the ventilation, so that the pit men may be enabled to pass through the pit in safety, and send up the bodies. But there was a good deal of stythe in the pit to-night, and it may be a day or two before the bodies are all discovered. " As is usual at colliery explosions, there have been many providential escapes. Geo. Mitford, one of the shifters, was working in another part of the pit at the time of the explosion. As soon as he felt thea e es air, which is unmistakeable in c theh eran for his life, but was over taksen°:u b fc pi y exs t s he l7n oo fire f - s damp and struck down like a shot. He gave himself up for dead, but was fortunately rescued by some men who descended the pit at the first alarm of the explosion to save as many as they could. There has not been so large a crowd about the pit as has been noticed at former colliery explo sions in the district, and the people have been very well-behaved and orderly. .._.... ..,...__ _ ~ The poor man Holt is supposed to have occa bubnle,e' x closetr extremely ly o the fou l a ; ir b - u w t a air-way. is said that occa sioned the explosion b y fi ring a 'shot' while making a drift through a' trouble,' been Thepi t tm t if must have it bad been at work the explosion would not have occurred, as extra precautions would have been adopted if it had been found necessary to ' fire a shot.' " SUNDAY NIGHT. The bodies of the 16 men and lads have been brought to bank in i coffins, and despatched in carts to their homes. The pit is littl e th e worse f or th e made fit for work in a shift the accident has not been oa ar c et accident , rwtoa rt e andd. The will eacause s e b e of POLIO P; IN TELLIGEN C E.—Nov. 24. GUILDHALL. Since the exposure in our columns, a few days ago, of a fellow resident abroad, assuming the names of Richard Brooke, F. Neville, and a variety of other aliases, Mr. Schultz, who originally brought the matter tinder the magis trate's notice, has received from clergymen and others in various parts of the country a number of letters showing that a most extensive and system atic imposition has been practised upon the public in this country for years past, with a considerable amount of success. In one instance, Mr. Schultz stated, the party in question succeeded in duping a gentleman at Torquay cf a sum of X3O; but in at tempting to defraud a hydropathio institution at Bruhl, near Cologne, of a similar amount, he was not quite so fortunate, and Mr. E. C. Hardy, who was an inmate of the establishment at the time, writing from Woodfield, near Flint, states that the same party represented himself as Lieut.-Colonel Neville Face (no such name being in the Army List), and proposed to spend the winter with his family at the institution, and requested the loan of £3O to pay his expenses over, his own remittances from India having failed him. This was a tempting bait for a young institution ; and had not the managers en deavoured to effect a compromise of the above terms by offering to forward the amount upon the arrival of the first instalment of the colonel's family, there would have been another added to the list of vic tims. In this case, as in many others, he made free with the British consul's name, in order to lull sus picion, and wished that the money should be sent i w n h o ic n h e Bank gave. anko i fEng n land note, to an address at Dijon , , ofth another letter, signed with the n ß a e m v. e m of r.

Not so, however, in the case of the Rev. Mr. J. S. Vaughan, of Slapton, near Dart mouth, who writes that he advertised for a pupil, and received a reply from Colonel Neville Fane, dated from Dijon, offering to place his two boys under his care for three years at £3 OO per an nu m , with £5O a-year for horse exercise, which he was desirousen nroute and hissuonnesxspheooutleddlhya:E gyp,e.lnt a long letter, in which he described hi s j c urney from India, visiting the cataracts of I knew then that Barber was doing more business at that time than at the time he commenced. After we found the exteht of the debt due from Barber we gave Mr. Cauderoy a letter stating that we would not wake Barber bankrupt for 12 months. That was about April, 1862. I discovered that Goodburn and Crowther had, without wentoledge or consent, entered into an arrange Mr. Cauderoy. They had taken warrants torn the box without my sanction and delivered them fro time to time to Mr. Cauderoy, who was to suppl that saltpetre to Mr. Barber, and Barber was t° repay him in refined saltpetre. Cauderoy g ave or with clerks a memorandum that he would pay the money when he sold the saltpetre. When the discovery' wag made Cauderoy had warrants to the amount of upwards of £9OO, which he ultimatelar Paid they the money for. Ido not know what arrange,enent W i t hout made with Barber; they credited Caude ro y my consent. I told them not to trust Mr. Ca116,,e -roy in any transactions. There were 40 or 50 counts opened. Goodburn had the management tb them, but he was not authorised to g ive credit. ge did not come from me from time to time when h i 4 delivered the warrants. He had no need to do ech e as he had general instructions as to t he limit ot every account. I had unlimited confidence in Groe; burn, and I do believe that, with the exceptio n this account, no other account has been in error. have not found out that Goodburn has derived the least benefit frr m Barber's account. The discoverl i took place in March, and he remained withme on June, when he resigned. He was most assidu; in making up the accounts of Barber. I find at every item has been entered in my accounts fv"ci Barber. I have gone over every item, and am bOull to say I have found them all correct. Mr. Laing, on being re-examined byMr.Wr9nt herc said—With respect to the transaction of Croulbaere which I told Mr. Sleigh was entered in our b o, " •9' and which we received the brokerage, that was t;_te transaction about which I had the conversation with Crowther, and in which he admitted the goods were his own, And which he had bought with til,e moneys of the firm. Barber paid me part in eas' part in tartaric acid, and part in saltpetre . I raeel3, by that that when we sold the tartaric acid, " placed the proceeds to his account , ha v ing p urchas " the raw material for him. If that h ad been carrie" out in all subsequent transactions it would been quite safe. The ledger would show tvb il e goods had been bought for Bar ber, and what h. „ had paid in respect of those goods; but the securittehp do not appear on the face of that account. Ette_t are li b u e party's securities are kept separate, aid carried through the ledger. I did not exarnine the securities, but took Goodburn's word that they s v ,. sufficient to cover the balances. If he had tamed the warrants until the go ods had belt. paid for the account would have been perfeet4 straightforward. It was no matter what t'er balance was so long as there were secur ities to eoic, it. I know nothing about the Liverpool tratli, tions 1858, in which the saltpetre was sent ~,to rect to Barber's premises, without the warr e ",,e being retained. It that was done, it must b A ro y been by the prisoners, and was not done with be t consent or authority. I have not supplied B a gs with a single artic.e since the discovery of the s'" r i, of his account. The £9OO was realised by se ct/ t h the m which Cauderoy held. I have told the hem), not to give Cauderoy credit. Cauderoy failed te, debt, and I was one of the inspectors of his eot tl That was in Nov., 1857. The cross-examination had lasted a considerable , time, when Mr. Wontner said Mr. Ba rber's pure , amination would, most likely, occupy several breed and it being already late, the case wa s adjoalt"to for a week, both the defendants being a dmitted bail the same as before.
