MARLBOROUGII-STREET. EXTENSIVE PLATE ROBBERY.—Two men named Armsly and Kenny, were placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with being concerned in the extensive robbery of plate at the house of Mr. Richard Hodson, solicitor, 11, Devonshire- place, Fortland-place. Mr. Richard Hodson said, that at seven on Monday morning his housekeeper, Eliza Wells, came up to him and while in bed informed him that the house had been robbed. He told her that as she had charge of the house that was impossible, but on his proceeding down stairs to the dining room he found that the cupboard in which there was a large quantity of plate was open, and that a portion consist ing of the following articles had been abstracted-2 large and small silver coffee pots, 7 dessert spoons, 7 large and 7 small forks, 2 milk pots, 2 tea pots, a fish knife, tongs, ladles. He then missed a desk from the room, in which was a gold watch, £lO 10s. in gold, two gold seals (one with his initials), a valuable malachite seal, and a large musical box. He then went to the door, the chain of wliich was not up, nor was the door bolted, A little boy then came to the door with bread, and he sent for a constable, who on examining the door found no marks of an extreme° having been made, and said he believed there had been none, but that the rob bery had been effected from within. From the cupboard also a mahogany box, with his name on it, was taken. It was full of different articles of plate. On going into the kitchen he found that three large boxes had been broken open, and dishes, salt cellars, butter knives, and a large quantity of other articles taken. He also found there the desk broken open, the parcel which had contained the money torn up, and a workbox also broken open. The only articles which the thieves had missed wore those not of silver. The prisoners, he believed, had been to see his servants on the Sunday night, contrary to his rules to that effect. Inspector Hubbard, of the E division, having confirmed Mr. Hodson as to the state in which he found the place soon after the discovery, said he questioned the house keeper, Eliza Wells, and after prevaricating a great deal she admitted that the prisoners had been .there as late as 11 on Sunday night, and he then took the prisoners into custody from the information he obtained. He had aster• tained that the prisoner Kenny had been in the habit of going to tho house to see one of the servants. Armsly had gained admittance to the house by going to work there. A constable named Robinson, of the E division, proved taking Kenny, who also went by the name of Gosling, into custody, and his admission that he was at the house on Sunday evening. Ho found in the house, on returning, a largo bag, a "jemmy," the marks on tho desk and box which had been broken open corresponding with it, also a chisel. _ _ Tho prisoners were thou remanded. It was stated that the amount of the robbery is quite £4OO. TIIA.IqES. DARING STREET ROBISERY.—George Baxter, a well known thief, aged 23, and described as a ropemaker, of York-place, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a silver watch, value 10s., from the person of Patrick Meham, a sail Maker. It appeared from the. evidence that the prosecutor was in the midst of a crowd listening to the exhortations of a "cheap Jack," who was selling crockery ware and other goods on a vacant space of ground near Limehouse Church. While "cheap Jack" was rattling come earthenware plates and recommending them to be of first-rate quality, the prisoner was paying attention to the prosecutor's watch, which he managed to withdraw from the sailmaker's pocket and detach it from the ring to which it was made fast by a guard chain. The prosecutor laid hold of the prisoner's hand as he was withdrawing it from his watch pocket, and said, " You have taken my watch." Tho pri soner struggled, and said, " I have not got your watch; leave me alone," and at the same time handed the watch to a confederate. The prisoner, after a desperate resistance, was secured and given into the custody of a police-constable. The prosecutor afterwards picked up the ring of his watch on the ground where the robbery took place. A police-constable said that many robberies had taken place on the waste piece of ground in the district while the "cheap Jacks" were exercising their calling in their carts. They generally were very amusing fellows, of whose pre sence the thieves took advantage whenever they had an opportunity. The prisoner, who protested his innocence of the robbery, was committed for trial. 211 E NAVY. The following circular, numbered "396," has been issued, and is dated Admiralty, Dec. 10 : " The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, being desirous of revising the regulations respect ing punishments in her Majesty's navy, are pleased to direct as follows : "I. All seamen and royal marines belonging to the fleet shall be divided into two cla sses, herein after referred to as the Ist and 2d class. "11. All men now serving in the fleet whose cha racter is marked good' shall be in the Ist class. " 111., All men on first entering the navy or re serves, and all men re entering the navy with certi ficates marked good,' shall be also in the Ist class. " IV. No man in the Ist class shall be subject to corporal punishment, except by sentence of a court martial. " V. Men in the Ist class committing any grave offence against discipline, or guilty of repeated mis conduct, will be removed by warrant into the 2d class. They will not be liable to corporal punishment at the time when they are so removed, but, in addi tion to degradation to the 2d class, other punishment may be inflicted, according to the degree of the offence. " VI. The 2d class will consist of all men whose conduct has not entitled them to certificates marked good. "VII. No man in the 2.d class shall be subject to corporal punishment without court-martial, except for the following offences : " 1. Mutinous or highly insubordinate or riotous conduct. " 2. DeSertion. " 3. Repeated drunkenness. " 4. Smuggling liquor into the ship. " 5. Theft. " 6. Repeated disobedience of orders. " 7. Deserting his post. " 8. Indecent assaults. 44 VIM Men in the 2d class, by a continued course of good conduct for a period of not less than 12 months, will be entitled to be restored to the Ist class. "The above rules are not intended to relate to cases of open mutiny, where immediate punishment .may be necessity to cheek a disposition ox the part of others to join in so flagrant a crime. " Future punishment returns are to contain the number of men in the Ist and 2d class respectively. " This circular is to be read to the crews of her Majesty's ships on each occasion of the Articles of War being read. _ The Queen, 86, screw, Capt. Charles F. Hillyar, has been undocked at Portsmouth, and berthed alongside the north wall of the steam basin. The launch of the Duncan, 101, screw, took place this morning shortly before high water at Portsmouth dockyard. Sir B. IV. Walker, the Surveyor of the Navy, and Admiral the Hon. F. Pelham, both visited the Duncan yesterday. The first portion of the keel of the Royal Alfred, 91 , screw, was yesterday laid on the blocks, in the same slip from which the Victoria was lately launched.

The Ethiope has arrived with the mails from the West Coast of Africa. Her dates are—Benin, Oct. 23; Fernando Po, 28 ; Cameroons, 30 ; Calabar, Nov. 1; Nun River and Brass, 2 ; Bonny, 7 ; Lagos, 10 ; Accar, 5 ; Accra, 11 ; Cape Coast Castle, 13; Cape Palmas, 16; Sierra Leone, 19; Bathurst, River Gambia, 19 ; Teneriffe, Dec. 1 ; and 111adeira, 8. She brings 1,557 ounces of gold dust and five boxes of specie. We have been favoured by Mr. Pinnock, purser of the Ethiope, with tie following summary :-- CAMEROONS. This river is at present in a very unsettled state, the free population being in daily expectation of a rise among the slaves, which had partly commenced, and, should it proceed further, will be attended with great sacrifice of life. Dysentery has been very prevalent among the Kroomen, many deaths having occurred. A subscription was being raised for the purpose of recompensing the natives for the damage done to their town by the Spanish war steamer Santa Teresa some few months back. BONNY. Another of those civil wars so constantly occurrin g in this part of Africa was again expected among the natives of this- town, in consequence of the Regent, Illollah-pepple, having seized and murdered a wo man, accused of witchcraft, belonging to the house of another chief named Tulefare, who in return seized two men belonging to the house of the Re gent, whom he refused to deliver up. A number of chiefs from the Ossa country had arrived in Bonny to decide the amount of tribute to be paid by the Bonny people upon the oil coming from Ebo, the whole of which passes through the Ossa territory, on Ib way, down to this river. FERNANDO PO. Great improvements are in progress at Fer nando Po, many hundreds of labourers having been brought from the Kroo country for the purpose of clearing land, making roads, &c. The sum of 2,000,000 reals had been granted for in stallation purposes. A large number of white soldiers and emigrants had arrived from Spain. 300,000 dols. in cash had been imported into the island by the new Governor, Colonel Grandcra, for the necessary expenses of the Government. Active measures are being taken by the Spaniards to colonise the adjacent islands of Annobon, Corisso, &c. LAGOS. An attempt had been again made to fire the town by some incendiaries on the 29th of October, whereby two women were burnt to death. For tunately very little damage was done. Trade had been freely opened by two Kings in the interior, consequently business was very brisk, a large quantity of oil coming forward ; the production of cotton increasing. ACCRA. Cojoe, King of Accra, was again taken prisoner on the 12th of November, and placed in the fort. Trade dull, and ;ilk° at Cape Coast. SIERRA LEONE. A slaver, without name or colour, captured a short time back by her Majesty's ship Spitfire, Cap tain Chapman, at Jacmcl, in the neighbourhood of Lagos, had arrived at Sierra Leone in charge of a prize crew ; at the time of her seizure she had on board 469 slaves, the whole of whom had been shipped on board the evening previous in the short space of one hour and a half. Her entire length is 110 feet ; breadth, 26 feet 6 inches. Her hold was large and capacious ; the slaves, consequently, had far more room than is usually the case in vessels of this description. The passage up to Sierra Leone occupied 35 days, during which time she lost 7 of them, landing 462—viz., 284 men, 104 women, 34 boys, and 40 girls; they were chiefly Popoes, Akees, and Tappalis ; she had been condemned by the Vice-Admiralty Court as a lawful prize. A fireman named Thomas Williamson, belonging to the mail steamer Athenian, had been accidentally drowned during her stay here on the 13th of November. On the 21st of November her Majesty's ship Sharpshooter left Sierra Leone for the river Gambia, having on board Major Murray with rGeruitv for Bathurst. TENEIUFFE. Captain George Walker and four men of the American schooner William had been landed near Teneriffe by a French vessel, the Rose Marguerite ; they had been abandoned by their vessel, which was in charge of the mate, while engaged in obtaining provisions from the French barque Jeannie. The William had 27,000 dols. in specie on board. The barque Madras, Captain Davis, of London, was abandoned at sea in a sinking state on the 22d of November, 150 miles from Cape Finisterre. The crew were picked up by the brig Jenny, and landed on the 3d inst. at Madeira. Captain Davis, his mate, and five of the crew have returned by the Ethiope. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. The Ethiope reports having encountered very severe gales from the N.N.E. After leaving Ma deira, on the 26th of November, in lat. 16 N., long. 18 W., passed the brig Thomas Snook ; and on the 30th, in lat. 27 N., long. 17 W., the French barque France, bound south; and the Swedish steamer Ernest. At Madeira—The Celia, with troops for Cuba. The Cambria, from London ; the Bellone, from Jherbourg ; the Euxine, from Swansea ; Her Ma jesty's ships, Snake, Ringdove, and Beagle, for China ; her Majesty's ship Clio, for Vancouver's Island; and the French war steamer D'Estaing, for Senegal, were at Teneriffe. Her Majesty's gunboats Havoc, Hardy, Snap, Bouncer, Gaasshopper, Ferret, Weasel, and her Majesty's frigates Sphynx, Encounter, and Odin, sailed for China ; and her Majesty's frigate Arro gant, for the Coast of Africa, had arrived at Madeira. THE CASE OF SARAH DYER. The following letter has been addressed to a morning contemporary : Sir, —Deeply impressed with gratitude towards those who so kindly and benevolently looked with commiseration and charity upon me and the humiliating position in which I had placed myself by the act I had committed, I think it due to those who were indebted to me, as well as to those who, with Christian charity, interested themselves in my behalf, to state that I have received £34 17s. Gcl., all the monies due to me ; and, therefore, I consider it a duty I owe to myself, and to those who may need assistance more than myself, in thanking the good andcharitable who have volunteered pecuniary aid, to decline receiving further assistance by way of money. I feel that I have erred, and my solace will be, by future industry au 1 repentance, to make amends, if possible, for my act of wrong. It is with pleasure I can state that, with the exception of two, all those who have previously employed me have pro mised, and will give me their support in future ; some hav ing called, and others written me to that effect. I cannot close without expressing, with heartfelt sincerity, my ever grateful remembrance of the benevolent commiseration of my unfortunate case by the humane judge, the kind charity oviaced by Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., as well as the counsel engaged, Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridgo. To Mr Trussler and the ten gentlemen who appeared in court, and were ready to give me a character as to my conduct during eleven years previous to my unfortunate crime, I also ten der thanks. Trusting that ray future conduct may in some degree prove me not unworthy of tho great sympathy which has been evinced towards me by the Court, the jury, the press, the Royal Benevolent Society, and the public generally. — I am, your obliged in humiliation and humbleness, SARAH DYER. 1, Pindar-place, Gray's-inn-road, Dec. 12. • FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE MALTON RAILWAY STATION.—On Saturday afternoon a shocking accident occurred at this station. A truck, baring " drop" end doors, one of which had been tied up during loading, was shunted from its position to another part of the yard. A boy near gave the alarm that another boy named Bell, nine years old, son of Mr. Bell, saddler, of Old Mallon, was hurt by the falling of the door. On examination of the truck, it was found that Bell had been caught by the falling door and dreadfully crushed, his brains being scatterred. It is supposed deceased had mounted the waggon for a ride, un observed by any of the company's servants, and that the, jerk on shunting the waggon had caused the string by which the door was tied up to break, and in its fall impa ling the poor boy. Death was, of course, instantaneous. The body awaits the coroner's inquest. SUSPENSION oF A MASTER'S CERTIFICATE FOR DRUNKENNESS. —The Local Marine Board leave suspended the certificate of Captain Cannall, master of the ship CoM modore, for six months , on acco u nt Of drunkenness. The vessel, which belonged to Messrs. F. Huth and Co., sailed hence for Africa on the 25th of November, but on arriving in the Channel the captain got intoxicated, and his conduct was so improper that, after a consultation between tbe officers and crew, they resolved to return to port and prefer the complaint previouslynamed.—Livorpool silbior:. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. GREAT SHIP COMPANY. MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS THIS DAY. A meeting of the shareholders in this undertak ing was held this, day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of "reviewing the past management, and receiving suggestions, by which this magnifi cent design can yet become a national glory, in stead of a national disgrace." Mr. GUEDELLA took the chair at one o'clock, at which time there were about 30 persons present. The Chairman said he, like other persons, had notiebd an advertisement of the Great Ship Com pany, calling a meeting of the shareholders for the 15th inst., but as that meeting had been postponed, a step which he did not approve, he had taken upon himself the responsibility of calling the share holders together. He had sent an invitation to the solicitors of the Great Ship Company to attend, but they had declined the incitation. He thought that in any statements that might be made they ought to be guided by moderation. (Hear.) He had often thought of many things to which the ship could be turned—amongst other things it might be turned into an immense floating battery, as a brush with France was not impossible, but above all things he counselled shareholders not to part with their shares in the present state of affairs, as everything had been resorted to in order to depreciate their value. The company had issued a balance sheet which he thought was mainly to be attributed to the pressure from without. By that document ar rears of calls were set down at £7,242, but he should like to know who owed the money. Then again the directors said they had the satisfaction of stating to the shareholders that the vessel had been n - iortgaged—(hear, hear, and laughter)—for £40,000. He really did not know anything more laughable than such a statement, excepting on one occasion when he was connected with a cemetery company, when the directors in the report said they • had the melancholy satisfaction—(loud laughter)—of congratulating the proprietors on the increase of burials. (Hear, and laughter.) The mortgage had been done by an eminent firm in the city at 5 per cent. A SHAREHOLDER—Is five per cent. the price I' I'm afraid it's more. Mr. GUADELL A said he did not know. The directors would not give him any information at the office. But this he knew, that the loan had been hawked about the city in two sums of £20,000, for which 5 per cent. was offered. He thought that the first management of the company had been as bad as it possibly could be, and he felt this the more so as amongst the shareholders there were no less than 50,000 shares held by the working men, who had come forward with their sovereign each from a national feeling of pride to com - plete the ship, which they looked upon as a national undertaking. The gentlemen present knew the past efforts that had been made by many gentle men to improve the position of their affairs, and amongst them Mr. Magnus. (Hear, hear.) Why, the directors had once demanded of him a certificate of good character ; but as they had demanded that in one case, he should like now to see it furnished by all the gen tlemen at present at the board. (Hear, hear.) The speaker then proceeded to give an outline of the different schemes that had ben advanced to com plete the ship, and said at last it was decided to raise £330,000 in .E 1 shares; but he contended that, as that number of shares had not been sub scribed for, the prQject ought not to have been gone on with, and the deposits ought to have been returtie 1. The directors moved heaven and earth to get the shares taken up ; everything was paid in shares ; the directors had no ready money to go to work with, and every body knows the fate of people who go to market without money in their hands. There was another thing he should very much like to know—who were the directors at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Jackson, it had been said, Lad retired to make room for Mr. Bold. Mr. Dargan was, lie be lieved, also out of the direction, and he was very sorry for it. Mr. Cutbill, Mr. Cargill, and Mr. Herbert Ingram, it was said, had quitted the directory, so he should like to know who at present acted as directors. His principal point against the directors was, that they had stated in May or June that the whole of the 330,000 shares had been taken up, but he had been given to understand such was not the case. The directors had greatly mismanaged the ship ; and %e could only call the fact of taking the ship to Weymouth an act of vanity on the part of Mr. Campbell, who, he believed, once represented that place in Parliament. Ile had been asked to state how he proposed to improve the position of the company. He (lid not think the ship was bad—(hear, hear) —he thought there was a kind of panic at present, and his deliberate opi nion was that the ship was safe. A SHAREHOLDER—WiII you favour us with your views ? The CHAIRMAN —Presently. A SHAREHOLDER—Time is precious ; give us your plan. The Cri.o 11 Al AN—The outline of my plan is the for mation of a third company. (Laughter.) Hethought the best course to pursue at present was, to prepare themselves for the meeting of the 11th of January. He should call the shareholders together again on the 9th of January, two days before the meeting, at which he should move a vote of want of confidence in the directors. Mr. O'BYRN—What is the first thing you pro• pose to do ? Mr. GUADELLA—To get rid of the present direc tors. If the, meeting on the 11th should decide in favour of the directors, then the resolution would be negatived. At present he should conclude with the following resolution :—" That this meeting views with the deepest regret and indignation the past management, and has no confidence in the board of directors as at present constituted." Major MURRAY said he was unconnected with City business, but he would second the resolution, as he thought it highly blameable that a great scheme should be pulled to the ground. The Rev. Mr. NICHOLSON said he thought the resolution was too sweeping. Mr. Bold and Mr. Magnus were not to blame. (Hear, hear.) A great deal of confusion here ensued, during which a number of resolutions and amendments were moved and seconded Mr. Guadella finding his original resolution distasteful to the meeting, said, " I claim the right of all chairmen—l dis solve the present meeting "—(loud cries of " No, no"—" the meeting's dissolved"—ar.d, snatching up his hat, quitted the chair, exclaiming "1)o as you like." Mr.PITINCII moved and Mr. SAMUELS seconded a resolution that Alderman hlodson, of Birming ham, preside over the meeting. The motion was carried unanimously. Alderman Hodson then took the chair, and a resolution that the present meeting should stand adjourned until the Gth of January, 1860, was car ried unanimously. Alderman HODSON thought that Mr. Guadella, although he had exhibited a little irritation, was entitled to the thanks .of those present for the trouble he had taken in calling them together. (Rear, hear.) A vote of thanks to Mr. Guadella and Alderman Hodson was then agreed to, and. the proceedings terminated. LONDON GAZETTE(THIS EVENING). - - - - --- —4- WHITEHALL, DEC. 10.

AUSTRIA AND TIER SOLDIERS —The following is an extnict of a private letter, dated the 7th inst.. from:an Englishman at Dlimicli :—" The day beftre yesterday some unfortunate wounded Austrian soldiers came through here on'tbeir way home flew the hospitals at Innsbruck. They had all been severely wounded, And were unlit for further service. The paternal Austrian Government, therefore, thoughtit no longer necessary to take any care of them, and a snore pitiable, heartrending sight I have never seen. They were evidently ,half-starved, and took greedily whatever the good natured Munichere gave them. They were scantily covered with the tattered remnants of their summer uniforms, and some of them had merely straw shoes, and no strAkings ; and this with the temperature at 10 degrees below freezing point. It was sickening to think of the sufferings of those unfortunate creatures travelling is third-class earriagesin such severe weather without suffi cient protection against the cold. , There was but one feel-, ing among the people here—that of execration against a Government who could behave with such cruel ingra titude to men who had shed their blood and lost their limbs for the sake of their country." : r. ;t 0 a I key.
