The general scheine and objects proposed to be embraced by this Company may be thus desc r ibed, viz. :—The con struction, ma i n t enance , management, an d working of such works of irri ga ti on , water transit, an d water su p - VY in India, with their auxiliary undertakings as may, trom time to time, be found to be of a profitable character, after the necessary sanction of Government has been secured to each project. The works selected for first operations, and intended to be immediately entered upon, have been examined by en gineers of the highest attaintments and Indian experience, 'who urgently recommended them for construction by Go- Vernment as being, in their opinion, amongst the most mportant, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India. These works will consist of : Firstly,—lrrigating and Navigable Canals, with all sub sidiary works throughout the rich and extensive alluvial Deltas of Orissa and the adjoining districts, receiving their supply from the copious and never-failing waters of three great rivers, the Mahanuidy, the Byturny, and the Brah many, which, with their affluents, intersect and command the trade and commei ce of enantries, together Much larger in extent than England and Wales, and abounding in agricultural and mineral wealth. The land in Orissa alone, capable of being thus affected, is estimated to amount to about 2,000,000 acres. Secondly,—A main Irrigating and NavinNavigable Canal, con necting the above works and districts with the port and city of Calcutta, starting from Balasore and passing by Midna- Poor to the Hoogly River, opposite to Calcutta, with all subsidiary channels necessary to irrigate about 2,500,000 acres of good land contained in the surrounding country. The present Secretary of State for India, in Council, in March last, addressed to the Government of India an official communication calling attention to the im portance of constructing these works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the local Government. A desire to see an unguaranteea Company established led, however, he states, to their con- Cession to this Company. . The main sources of profit will be : Pirstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the irrigation of land. Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means St additional returns : I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals is the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per centage' upon outlay. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in stance, to the sal of £1,000,000, divided into 50,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of £1 per share Only, with a further payment of £1 per share when the final agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice will be given to each shareholder. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to those applicants who are shareholders in the Madras Irri gation and Canal Company, to the extent of the number of shares held by them in that company, and all future issues of shares in England will be distributed pro rata amongst such of the then existing shareholders in the present com pany as may be desirous of taking them. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may new be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non•street, E.C., London; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall-Mall East. • A SET OF TEETH IN TWO HOURS. BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT. MR.

LiPut. Blockley then came forward, and, after some concise and appropriate remarks express ing the entire approbation of the corps with his services on their behalf, presented him with a mag nificently wrought Artillery sword, on the blade of which was engraved in capitals, " Presented to J.

Mr. Gibbs, late military storekeeper at Edin burgh, has relieved Major Agnew of his charge of the powder magazines at Tipnor, near Portsmouth, after a service there of more than 40 years. The gallant Major embarked from Portsmouth in 1808 for the Peninsula, and after following the late Duke of Wellington through some of his greatest battles, lost his leg at Vittoria in 1813, and was subse quently appointed by the Duke to the post he has filled for so long a time. P. Bv. `SPED. 51.1. P OLIC T.? INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 9 MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. Daniel de la Cherois Gurley, a physician, having a residence at Wilton house, Regent's -park, and also in Edinburgh, was brought up on remand on a charge that, being a trustee of the sum of £2,490 4s. sd. for the benefit of Henry Wadham and Elizabeth his wife, he did, with intent to defraud them, unlawfully convert and appropriate the same to and for his own use and purposes, contrary to the statute. Mr. J. D. Farrell, a clerk in the Western Branch of the Bank of England, in Burlington-gardens, identified the pass-book found among the prisoner's papers, and proved that on the Bth of March last £1,409 10s. 4d. was paid in to his credit by a cheque of Messrs. Simpson and Cook. Mr. Cooper said he could not carry that part of the case further at present, but if a remand were granted he would do se on a future day. Mr. Humphreys said he should also be prepared then to prove that Mrs. Wadham, at whose in stance the prosecution was instituted, had been paid by the defendant a sum of money in settlement of any claim she had under the will. The prisoner was then remanded until Friday next. B OW- STREET.--CHARGE OF DOG-STEALING. —A young man who gave the name of Joseph Sarson, but whose real name was Black, was charged with stealing a dog, the property of Mr. F. Shackle, of the Duke's Head, 56, Museum-street. It appeared that the prosecutor missed his dog, a terrier, which he valued at £2, on Friday last, and having given information of the fact to the pclliee, with a description of the4inimal, nolice-cz,n -' stable Bampton, F 97, was directed to look out for such a dog. On Saturday night last this officer saw the prisoner with a terrier answering the descrip tion given, and followed him to 28, Charles-street, Drury-lane. On going up stairs he saw the pri soner and asked him to show the dog. The prisoner said he had not got one. Witness heard a scratch ing in an adjoining room, however, and insisted on seeing the animal, which was then brought forth. Witness said, " I believe I know the owner of that dog, and I will go and fetch him, if you promise to remain here till my return, if not I must take you into custody." The promise was given, and witness went to the prosecutor, but before their return both the prisoner and the dog had disap peared. Subkquently the constable traced the dog to another house in the same street, and it was at onu identified by the prosecutor, and a day or two afterwards the prisoner was also discovered and ap prehended. Mr. Shackle stated that the dog had a collar on when it was lost, but it was not upon him when he was found. _ _ The defence was that the dog had strayed, and prisoner had been asked to take care of it by the person who found it. The prisoner's father said, although be had given a wrong name, with the view of sparing the feelings of his family probably, he was nevertheless a very respectable man, and had come by the dog without dishonesty. He (the father) had the ap pointment of " Queen's ratcatcher," and his son, therefore, was highly respectable. Mr. Henry fined him £lO, and in default com mitted him for one month. MARYLEB ONE—DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—John Huntly, living in Prescott-place, Paddington, was charged with the following deter mined attempt at suicide. It appeared that on the previous night the pri soner went into the Chalk-farm Tavern and had two glasses of ale at the bar. He suddenly ex claimed, "I see my mother standing by the foot of her grave," and, rushing into the kitchen, he laid hold of a dinner knife, with which he was about to inflict injury upon himself, but it was wrested from him. He then ran into the bar, and seizing a large carving knife, was about to draw it across his throat, but after considerable resistance on his part he was prevented from carrying his suicidal intention into effect. He was conveyed to the station-house by Welham, 400 S, and other officers who came to his assistance. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was re manded till Thursday next. GREENWICH.-ASSAULT ON A WIFE AND AT. TEMPTING TO SHOOT TWO POLICE-CONSTABLES.- Mr. Thomas informed the magist. debt upon which he now stood arra Gauqualin's own, but one for which surety for another person, and that pc a derstood, bad swindled him out of large sums of money. He also added that he believed the pri- • soner was a respectable and well-conducted man, generally speaking, and that what he had d.Jne he (Mr. Thomas) believed had been done through mo mentary excitement. The prisoner, Gauqualin, through an interpreter, said he was extremely sorry for what had happened, and that in a moment of excitement he had quite lost, or forgotten himself. • De Veri.; said he thought the parties were fight in., and he only interfered to separate them. Mr. Norton observed that if the prisoners had not been. foreigners, and as such might not be suffi ciently acquainted with our laws, he should have felt it tc, be his duty to deal much more severely with them. As it was, however, Gauqualin must pay a penalty of £3 or six weeks' imprisonment , and Da Vere, 10s. or ten days. The latter refusing; id' theto payfli iewaarsic!elvtats,odlliseohrsaLrigncodu,gbellit the former ref - lane Gaol, where the writ against him was lodged, so that he cannot get discharged until he pays the £23, in addition to the penalty, or serve his term of imprisonment. KENSINGTON GARD_ENS. The momentous question of the Ride in Kensing ton-wardens has not been so well understood by the publi cas it ought to be. To be sure, people gene rally know rather more about it than they do about the (Jhina question, or the Syrian massacres, or the French Treaty, but it is.not well got up. We have ourselveleetet folks wandering about the gardens an t I asking the keepers where the new Ride was ; amid persons ambiti, -a -7esirrdom, and purposing to. exemplify in their o rsons the certainty of being trampled to death by thoroughbred horses, or levoured by thoroughbred bloodhounds, have lost themselves in their pilgrirnegee We are not :ill so fortunate as Lord John Manners's old lady in her • wheeled chair, who, although drawn by two men, could not be forced into this Ride, and was under the cruel necessity of being taken back into the greensward and woodland. Even the Marylebone vestrymen, who were so eloquent upon the wrongs they were suffering, were deficient in their geogra phy. When we were last in these gardens, not one man in a hundred of those who had the most excel lent reasons for seeking sequestered glades and wilds which might accord with their souls' sadness seemed to have any very distinct idea of the wrong he had. suffered. The sentimental vestryman and the lovesmitten guardian of the poor still wandered beneath the great trees, undisturbed by the gaudy crowd of chattering equestrians. In fact, although that Kensington Ride was talked of in every pot house in Marylebone, the exact grievance was only known and felt by a few nursemaids from West bournia and by the fall privates of her Majesty's Guards, and even these found consolation and pri vacy no great way off. To dissipate this deplorable ignorance there was a lively debate yesterday in the House of Commons. It was a pretty and a very interesting little debate. People spoke of what they knew something about ; and if there was some claptrap and considerable selfishness, and a vast quantity of exaggeration, the whole matter was well ventilated. We now know that this is a question whether there shall be a road set out for horse exercise in a piece of public ;;round containing 268 acres of woodland, lawn, and flower-gardens. We know, also, that those feroisious Democrats who call upon the people to put down this incursion of the bloated aristo cracy are, in fact, the mildest of sheep in the fiercest of wolves' skins. At the Marylebone Board, and in deputations to Mr. James, they are fire-breath ing Radicals ;at home at Notting-hill and in West bournia they are the most respectable of citizens and the most exclusive of monopolists. At the Marylebone Board they bold that 'Kensington gardens is all for the people who walk ; at Notting hill they hold that these gardens are all the private property of their ten little darlings. They tell Mr. Cowper that they have a vested right in the soli tude and seclusion of this public place of recreation, and when they write to us they think it a sufficient reason that all equestrian London should be kept from their neighbourhood, if they can show that they are now compelled to send their children only once, instead of twice, a-day into these gardens. Happy Paterfamilias to have such a beautiful place at his house-door ! but miserable Paterfami lias that he cannot have it kept up at the public expense and exclude every one else from it ! This is the common vulgar English feeling of excluding the public and turning every place of public en joyment into a private _property. It is common enough to find that people wadi to'llitit out a crowd. The Exhibition was a bore, because it drew the masses to an aristocratic part of the town ; the flowers near Park-lane are not popular in that vicinity, for they attract pedestrians ; to drive away a crowd, whether on foot or on horseback, is the natural wish of the householder, who likes the air and the view, but likes it all to himself. But never did we see democracy so befooled as in this case, where the denizens of the courts and alleys of the metropolis are made to complain that there is no " privacy" in our public Parks, and that they are not turned into appendages to the nurseries of a few houses in the immediate neighbour hood. Fancy a Marylebone vestryman roaring for privacy ! It does, however, so happen that the privacy is increased by the very fact of the public enjoyment being increased. If the gentle swains and ruddy shepherdesses who now seek these sylvan spots cannot find ample room and verge to exchange their tender vows, it will certainly not be the fault of the ridge ; for the nursemaids are all gone to, look at the riders, and the Guards are gone to shield the 'nursemaids from harm, and the privacy of the gardens is more complete than ever. Yet the Londoner, who loves a show, and who above all things 'has an eye for a horse, and likes eo see a cavalcade of pretty women bounding in a breezy gallop, is actually represented to be up in arms be cause the privacy of Kensington-gardens is increased in one part by an object of attraction in another part, and because their gaiety is increased by a scene of animated enjoyment ! If it be true that there has been any real demonstration of the poorer classes against this ride, and in favour of " the vested right in tlae neighbours to seclusion and solitude," democracy never looked so silly or was so ridicu lously duped. We are ashamed of this little quarrel. It could have happened in no other country but England, where social intolerance is thought to be an evi dence of independence, and a vexatious interference with your neighbour's comfort is mistaken for a spirited vindication of right. Here are nearly 300 acres of ornamental public grounds, not one-tenth part of which is ever visited by Cockney foot. The ladies and children, not aristocrats alone, but of all ranks, who, in accordance with a healthful fashion, have taken to exercise themselves on horseback, want a little bit of shade. They have in reality as much right to a fair share of this public property as any other people have. A worthless strip is alloted for this purpose, and the residents of Westbournia and Notting-hill immediately try not only to cut off this little facility for innocent enjoyme:at, but get up a sort of empty sham popular city against it. The whole thing is essentially un . gentlemanlike ; it shows a lack of consideration fox: each other's com forts ; a total absence of that spirit of mutual concession which is the soul of ciiilisation. It can not be other than a bad spirit shich makes Mr. Smith angry because his cousin is: able to ride under the shadow of a Kensington-gard , ens tree, after an accurate examination of the till he. s shown that the thriving business can afford the tre at. But what a fool Smith must be to be made a cat's-paw of by the gentleman in the large house close by, who in sists that all the Smiths are intru d,ers, and that he only has a right to the enjoymei It of that slreel which he wants for his two little g. 'xis to play aD ul in ! The House of Commons, by a m sajority.off nearly two to one, has held that a public Carden is . o h enjoyment of all classes, but it is a end d greediness pity that all this jealousy and intOlerance ELn _ . to be thus pub has shown itself, and has required licly rebuked.—times. #il William Bromell, a young man of independen means, residing at Worton-road, Deptford, and who was suffering from the effects of delirium tremens, was brought up on a warrant, charging him with assaulting and threatening to murder his wife, Jane Bromell, and also with presenting and attempting to discharge a pair of pistols at police-constables Holman, 47, and Kendal, 318 R. The wife, a good.looking young woman, on being sworn, said, that the prisoner was her husband, and was greatly addicted to habits of drunkenness. For some time past she had been subjected to acts of ill-treatment, and had been frequently threatened by him to have a bullet put through her head. On Sunday last he struck her, seized her by the hair of her head, dragged her to the ground, and taking up a dinner knife, declared he would murder her. In consequence of these threats she had been com pelled to leave ber home with her four children, and to remain away, being in fear of her life. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said he had suffered a great deal of aggravation, but he knew he was throwing himself away. Mr. Maude—Any one who now sees you can see that you are throwing yourself into a coffin. Constables Kendal and Holman here said, that they had the warrant of the Court to take the pri soner into custody. Ou going to the house and knocking, they were answered by the prisoner, who appeared with a hammer and a brace of pistols, and threatened to murder them or anybody who might, attempt to enter the house, and on their endeavour ing to secure him, he snapped four caps on the pistols at them. After waiting nearly two hours they saw the prisoner leave the house, and they then took him into custody. The prisoner said he merely snapped the pistols at the constables in order to frighten them, but that they were neither loaded nor had he any powder in the house. The wife here said that the prisoner had also frequently presented the pistols at her, and said he would put a bullet through her head. The prisoner promised that he would not mis• conduct himself again. Mr. Maude observed that from a person in his condition, who was evidently rapidly depriving himself of life by excessive drinking, he could not think of taking any such promise. He should therefore require him to find two sureties in the sum of £5O for his good conduct during the mit three months. • The prisoner said he did not think he could get bail, and, from his helpless condition, he was assisted out of Court to be conveyed to gaol for the period named. LAMBETH.—ATTEMPT TO STAB A SHERIFF'S OFFICER.—M. E. Gauqualin, a Frenchman and currier, residing at 16, Moore's-terrace, Park-road, Peckham, was charged before the Hon. G. C. Nor ton, with attempting to stab Mr. Keene, an officer of the Sheriff of Kent, and also Mr. Thomas, an auctioneer; and Mr. Augustus Be Vere, a lodger in his house, and also a Frenchman", was charged with rescuing the other prisoner from the lawful custody of the officers. From the evidence, which was somewhat lengthy, it appeared that on that morning Mr. Keene, accompanied his man, Henry Bromley, and. Mr, Thomas, an auctioneer in the Kent-road, pro ceeded to the house of the prisoner Gauqualin, to execute a warrant for a debt and costs, amounting to £23. On obtaining admission, Mr. Thomas, who had been the plaintiff in the action, explained to him as well as he could the nature of the proceed ing, and the prisoner offered £lO in part payment of the debt, bat was told that this could not be ac cepted, for that the officer having made his cap ture, was bound to take him to his office, and ascer tain whether there were any detainers lodged against him before he could release him. :1 He was assured, however, that everything should be done to procure his release from custody on that day; but he seemed to become much excited, arid ex claiming, " No prison, no prison," he rushed to a table about two yards off, snatched up a knife which he used in his business, and grasping it in his right hand, with his thumb placed on the end of the handle, raised his arm as high as he could, and was about to make a downward stab at Mr. Thomas, when Bromley, the sheriff's man, fortu nately seized his arm, and prevented the blow : Mr. Thomas retreated from the place, and the prisoner. attempted to stab Mr. Keene, but he, by the exer tions of Bromley, averted it, and was kicked out of the place. The prisoner next attempted to stab Bromley in the throat, upon which he threw up his hand to save himself, and had the top of one of his fingers nearly cut off, was bundl&d out of the house, and the doors closed against him. The police were then sent for, the door forced open, and the prisoner captured. The prisoner, Guadqualin, when captured, expressed much con [ADVERTISEMENT, —t diseases ; their Annoyance, dis_ gravate and perpetuea. % rise may , rills and medici rue invariably ag. be av of ded by p ersona appointment, and treet 'W I.4ondon an - 77 Regent-s , ~ - , d they S.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra.

A writer in a contemporary says :—As " the Road murder" bids fair to become " the Road mystery," perhaps you would allow me to commu nicate an idea which suggested itself to my mind on reading over the evidence at Miss Constance Kent's examination. . . In conjecturing the circumstances which could have led to the murder of a child of such tender age, the probable causes reduce themselves to three— hatred, lunacy or somnambulism, and fear. We have all as children had our quarrels, but it seems repugnant to human nature to believe ,that such lasting enmity could be inspired by a child five years old as to lead to his being taken out of bed in the dead of the night and murdered in cold blood. In the absence of stronger reasons than have yet been given to the public I reject the first, or melodramatic supposition, which the police so readily adopted. 2. Lunacy or somnambulism would hardly ma nifest itself with such startling results, unless symptoms had previously appeared which it would be the business of the police to discover, and which would go far to identify the author of the crime. 3. The motive of fear remains. How, it will be asked, could a child so young inspire fear ? Suppose—and every step of this case, except the actual murder, is based on supposition—suppose that something, call it an intrigue, a burglary, or what you will, was taking place beneath the roof that night, suppose the child awaking from sleep " saw a man where a man should na' be," would not that supply . a motive tor the crime ? To my mind, two things that occurred the next morning are fraught with suspicion—the ostenta tious reading of the Bible for an hour by the nurse, who knew that the child was missing, and who ought immediately to have made inquiry in Mrs. Ket's room ; and the decision which was at once arrived at by certain parties that the chili had been murdered. If the police would follow out these two points they would, perhaps, be more suc cessful than they were in their " fussy activity" about the nightdress of a schoolgirl. ROBBING THE DEAD, AND SALE.OF CORPSES FOR DISSECTION. —Some months since a family residing at South Boston had the misfortune to lose a child, and it was buried in an expensive dress, made by a lady, a friend of the family. The body of the child was placed in a tomb under one of the churches. Two weeks after the ceremony the lady who manufactured the dress which the little one wore before her death and was buried in visited a washerwoman for the purpoSe of employing her to do some work. While conversing, t'ae lady's eye was attracted by a child's dress, which hung upon a clothes line. She was startled, for the dress resembled the one in which her friend's child was shrouded. The visitor asked permission to examine it, and her request was complied with. What was her horror to find that it was the very dress which she had put together with her own hands, and which she had seen her little favourite wear several times. There could be no mistake about it, for the lady knew her own work, and the mate rials were of a unique pattern. The visitor asked the washerwoman how she came by the dress. The answer was that one day she was washing at Dr. —'s house, and that the doctor's wife made her a present of it for her little girl. The lady instantly left the house and stated her sus picions to friends. The result was, the child's coffin was opened and found empty. This discovery created such an excitement that the police were appealed to, and other coffins, deposited under the church by the same undertaker, were opened and found vacant. The bodies had been re moved and sold to surge ons for dissecting purposes.

(Before the Assistant-Judge.) George Newman, 49, described as a horse•dealer, was indicted for fraudulently obtaining by false pretences from Hugh Ward Saunders, a cheque for the payment of £5O, with intent to cheat and de fraud him thereof. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge were for the prose cution, instructed by Mr. E. Lewis ; and Mr. Met calfe, by Mr. Vaughan, defended the prisoner. The case, which was a rather protracted one, may he very shortly stated. The prisoner, it ap peared from the evidence, was mixed up with a regular gang of persons, who lived by cheating and swindling the public by .means of advertising horses for sale, as warranted in every respect, but which were utterly worthless, except for Atcheler's yard. The prosecutor in this case was a gentleman residing at Charlton, in Kent, and on the 16th of June he went to some stables, IA, Baker's-mews, Portman-square, in consequence of an advertise ment, of which the following is a copy :—" A first class riding or driving gelding, 15 hands two inches, very handsome, a bay with block points, possessing breeding, action, and substance, carries a lady, capi tal temper, and easy of management, property of a gentleman. A warranty and a reasonable time given for approval. Stables, IA, Baker's-mews, Portman-square." He found the prisoner there in livery undress, and on inquiry about the horse he was informed that it was " Mr. Cook's, a gentleman of fortune, whose son had had it, but he had joined a regiment of carabiniers that had gone out to India." The price for the horse was 50 guineas ; the prosecutor agreed to give as many pounds, and the prisoner gave him a warranty (produced). The prosecutor then gave him a cheque for £5O, payable to " William Cook, Esq.," and took the horse away. He had it examined. It turned out per fectly unsound, worthless for the purpose he required it for, and unable to work, and it was returned. The prisoner had given the address of William Cook, Esq.," at 5, Hanover-cottages, Regent's-park, where it seemed a Mr. Cook was known, but he had not been seen there since the Derby day, or about that time, and the prisoner could not be found. The prosecutor gave the cheque fully believing the pri soner's statements were true. While the bargain ing was going on, the prisoner said Mr. Cook had a farm of 200 acres a short way from London, pro duced a written authority to sell the horse, and said he was Mr. Cook's bailiff. A person calling him self Cook did in May apply, in answer to an ad vertisement, about taking a house, No. 5, Hanover cottajes, and he promised to take it in three weeks, and received permission to have letters sent there as his future residence. The case was placed in the hands of Police-sergeant White, 16 D, who knew both the prisoner and " Wm. Cook, Esq.," as companions in horse-chaunting transac tions, and on the sth of July he succeeded in finding the prisoner somewhere near Montague-square. They were also in the habit of using one public house. The prisoner's answer to the charge was that he had merely sold the horse on the authority of Mr. Cook, between whom and himself there existed the relationship of master and servant only. The cheque was cashed directly after it was given. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Assistant-Judge said it was important for the prisoner that there was no former conviction laid against him, but it was quite clear that he was one of a class of persons who carried on a systematic course of plunder upon the public by means of mock advertisements for the sale of horses, which they would warrant sound though utterly worthless. The prosecutor was entitled to the thanks of the community for the way in which he had acted when he discovered the fraud that had been prac tised upon him, the result of which was that one of the principal agents of a dangerous confederacy had been brought to justice. He doubted whether he ought not to pass a sentence of penal servitude, but as a warning to the others, he must pass a severe sentence or imprisonment and hard labour-18 calendar months. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) A young woman named Smith, who was convicted in February last, of larceny, as a servant, and sen tenced to six months' hard labour, applied to the learned judge under these circumstances :—She stated that, when she was taken into custody, she left at her master's a box, containing all she pos sessed except the clothes she was wearing, and some wages were due to her. On being discharged she applied to her master, Mr. Adams, a publican, in Air- street, Piccadilly, for the restitution of her ... ___ box and the payment of wages, but she was told that the wages would not be paid unless she sued for them, and the law compelled the payment ; and, as to her box, she found that her master had, on her conviction, given it up to the police, who delivered it to the high bailiff, in the usual way, as prisoner's forfeited property, and sold it in a fortnight after she was in prison under her sentence. She had, therefore, now, nothing in the world except what she stood up in, and what could she do ? She had no means of getting another situation. The learned Judge said he was afraid he could not help her in the matter, but he thought her master had no right to give up her box, under the circumstances, to the police, in order that it might be sold by the high bailiff. It was a very hard proceeding. In a case of larceny in a dwelling.house which was committed by the prisoner while she sent a little girl out to buy a pennyworth of crinol,ine cane, the learned Judge remarked, on the crino.ine being produced, that he certainly had never seen any crinoline before, but he, like everybody else, had often experienced the inconvenience it occa sioned. _ _ _ John Border, 68, and Charles Border, 28, drovers, father and son, were indicted for a fraud, com mitted under circumstances exhibiting a great deal of cunning and ingenuity. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Best were counsel for the prosecution ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. M'Donnell. The younger prisoner went into a public-house, kept by the prosecutor, Mrs. W. V. Townsend, at Hounslow, and called for some beer. He was joined soon afterwards by his father, who pre tended not to know him, and they got into conver sation about a horse, which one wanted to purchase of the other. It was outside the house, in a cart, which had the name of " Benjamin Yelding, God aiming, Surrey," upon it. The old man pretended that he had been in great distress, and begged that the other would buy the horse, as he had the bailiffs in the house. It was agreed that it should be sold for £l6, and a warranty was made out, and Charles asked the other his name, and asked the landlady to write it, as he could not. Charles then put down fourteen somethings, which were supposed to be sovereigns, but John said he could not trust a stranger, and must have the other two. Charles then asked the landlady to trust him with two pounds until the next day, and he would leave the horse in her stable the while. Believing it to be a genuine transaction, she lent the £2, and the horse was taken out of the cart. It then occurred to the old man, that he had to take the cart somewhere, a mile or so off, where he had sold it, and he was too weak and feeble to drag it himself, so they borrowed the horse to take the cart home, saying, it would be all right, and would be returned in half an hour. It is needless to say it was not. The prisoners throughout pretended never to have seen each other• before, and the son addressed his father as " Sir," while dealing for the horse. By this artfully-con trived trick they cheated the landlady of £2. The jury found both guilty, and it seemed that they had been before engaged in horse-dealing matters of a very questionable character. Mr. Payne sentenced each of them to 18 months' hard labour. THE ARMY, The reserve Channel fleet, under the command of Commodore Yelverton, C.B.,has arrived in Port land, from a cruise, and has been inspected by the Lords of the Admiralty. The ships will shortly return to their respective districts. The orders of the Admiralty for the whole of the iron-plated steam floating batteries lying in the Medway, at Chatham, with the few others at the remaining ports, to be docked and examined, in order that any defects discovered in them may be repaired, cause a considerable amount of activity in the smiths' department at Chatham dockyard, the workmen employed in which have commenced working overtime until a late hour in the evening, in order that the ironwork required for the repairs of the floating batteries, and also in fitting those steamers required for the steam reserve, may be prepared without necessitating any delays in the fitting of those vessels. The Childers, 12, one of the vessels attached to the reserve ordinary at Chatham, is being fitted for the reception of the engines and machinery of the various steamvessels at that port as they arrive from the contractors. The Orpheus, 21, the Cormorant, 4, and the Racehorse, 4, are being fitted at Chatham for the second division of the steam reserve. The sloop Elk, 12, Commander Hubert Campion, from Australia, arrived in Plymouth Sound yester day afternoon. After landing invalids, she will proceed to Chatham, where her crew will be paid off. His Russian Majesty's screw steam frigate Grand Admiral, 60, and a corvette, both from the east ward, arrived in Plymouth ktinnd 'yesterday after noon. _ _ . The screw steam frigate Emerald, 51, Capt. Arthur Cumming, in Plymolith Sound, took on board her powder on Wednesday. The paddlewheel steamvessel Rhadamanthus, Master Commander Frederick R. Sturdee, having landed machinery and boilers for the screw steam ship Gibraltar, was taken from Keyham basin on Wednesday to the Royal William Victualling-yard, Plymouth, to receive stores for Woolwich. She sailed yesterday afternoon. The screw steam Coastguard ships Majestic, 80, Capt. William R. Mends, C. 8., and Blenheim, 60, Capt. Edward Tatham, from Portland, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday evening, and saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley, which was responded to by the flag-ship Impregnable, 104, in Hamoaze. They will corn. plete their stores and coal, and then proceed to their stations—the Majestic for Liverpool, and the Blenheim for Milford Haven. The Torch, 5, screw gun-vessel, Commander Smith, and the Rinaldo, 17, screw, in the steam reserve, both tested their speed at the measured mile yesterday in Stokes Bay. The first complete set of lamps forming the nu merical code of signals, invented by W. H. Ward, of Auburn, United States, and termed the " Ocean Telegraph" (one of which was tried six months ago), having been illade, according to Admiralty instructions for experiments on board the Channel fleet, was yesterday received at Woolwich, and was tested last night at nine o'clock at the mast-head of the flag-ship Fisgard, under the inspection of Commander Hawker, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Petley, and other officers of the yard, who directed the trans mission of a course of signals, which were replied to from different points of the shore. It was stated that the lights reflected as signals by this new and ingenious method were distinctly read at the distance of two miles. The improvement now effected in operating with the various red, white, and dark shades from the deck of the ship appeared to satisfy the committee as to the facility with which messages may be despatched from ship to ship and shore, as well as the bril liancy of the lights ; and they stated that the in vention was perfect, s% ith one exception—namely, the weight of the lamps, each of which exceeded 301 b., and it was their desire that this slight draw back should, if possible, be remedied. Further ex periments are ordered to take place on a future occasion. The firing upon Jones's angulated target at Ports mouth from the Stork gunboat was resumed en Wednesday, and concluded yesterday, to enable Captain Hewitt to make up and send in his report. The target has received 36 shots in all during the practice. 17 of these have 4tguek the iron plate upon which the 8-inch gun was first directed. The enormous strain upon the sheet of metal caused by this repeated hammering has naturally caused the upper portion to bulge inwards, which has produced a crack on each edge, but the plate is not fractured in any way, and is now capable of resisting farther shots. This plate was manufactured in the Mersey, and must be one of the finest plates ever forged to have stood so successfully the very severe tests to which it has been subjected. The other plate is of Yorkshire manufacture, and has not stood so well as the Mersey. It has received 10 shots, and is fractured in two places, which is admitted to be owing to the inferior quality of the iron. The steel plates were both manufactured in the Mersey. The 41-inch received four shots, and the 34--inch five shots. Both have surface cracks, but, with the exception of a piece chipped out o f t h e 31 . in ch b y an" edge - blow, have no fractures. None of the plates have been pierced by the shot, and in every instance the shot itself has been shattered. Several times the pieces of the broken shot have been ob served to fly back from the target in the direction of the gunboat. This has for the presented concluded the most important trial of the effects of shot upon metal plates which has yet taken place at Ports mouth. Several 100-pounder Armstrong guns, manufac tured expressly for the naval service, have recently been completed and prov e d with entire success. Much activity now prevails at the Royal Gun Fac tories in producing this description of ordnance, and a number of guns to be completed at Woolwich are weekly forwarded by railway from Sir W. Armstrong's factory at Elswick. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : — Commander Edward H. L. Ray to the St. Georgei Lieut. H. T. Gammell to the Conqueror ; Lieut. James D. Curtis to the Ma jestic ; Lieut. Henry Golden to the St. Jean d'Acre ; Lieut. Grantham R. Y. Rattray to the Impregna ble ; Lieut. William Spratt to the Blenheim ; Lieut. Henry L. C.
