Lieut.-Col. C. J. Woodford, of the Rifle Briga:le, whose death is reported to have taken place on the 28th .Nov. in the engagement Gen. Windham had with the Gwalior mutineers, was son of General Sir A.

During the 17 years he had been .in the army he had seen much active service, having taken part in the Caffre war of 1846 and 1847. At tie outbreak of. war in the East he was ordered to the scat of war with his battalion, and during the Easteun campaign acted as Deputy-As sistant-Quartermaster-General at head-quarters, and was wounded is the attack on the Redan on the Bth.

The Lieut.-Colonelcy of tile 37th (the North HaMpshire Regt., is vacant by the death of Lieut.- Ge n . W. Smelt, C. 8., whose death has been an nounced as having taken place .at Bath ou S unda y last. The gallant officer was in his 76th year.

Yesterday the reinforcements under orders to embark for India, to the number of 354 non-com missioned officers and men, proceeded from Chat lain to Gravesend, where they embarked from the ,Custom-house -quay on board the screw steamer United Service for Bombay and Kurrachee. The Racoon,2l, screw steamer, Capt. J. A. Payn ter, left Chatham yesterday, and proceeded to Gil lingham-reach, for the purpose of taking on board her guns and sea stores, previously to taking her departure. The paddlewheel steam-vessel Princess Alice, Master Commander Mugford, proceeded down the river yesterday morning from Woolwich on survey, to decide on an eligible spot for laying down moor ings to harbour the various ships employed on special service connected with the approaching Royal marriage. The freight ship Royal Rose arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning from the docks, under orders to ship 29 heavy guns, together with 440 tons of military stores, for the Mauritius. Six Russian guns, captured at Sebastopol in 1855, having been supplied with gun carriages, were yes terday despatched from Woolwich Arsenal to Salis bury, Wells, Scarborough, Evesham, Ripon, and Cardiff. - Letters from India, received by the last mad, report the following movements of the transport steamers belonging to the European and American Company's fleet :—The Golden Fleece and the - Lady Jocelyn were about to leave Calcutta for England with passengers and cargo, the former at the end of December and the latter in January. The Queen of the South arrived at Madras on the Ist Dec. with the head-quarters a the 66th Regt., and was ordered to take them on to Cannanore, whither she proceeded immediately. The Hydaspes, with artillery, arrived at Galle on the 14th Deo., and left on the 16th for Calcutta. She also took from Galle the troops conveyed there from Suez, - ,who were to be left at Madras on her way to e Calcutta. t- THE DESPATCH OP TROOPS TO INDIA A blue book of some 50 pages, yesterday issued, gives copies of official correspondence on the subject of the despatch of troops to India from the colonies of the Cape of Good Hope, Ceylon, and Dil.witlua. It was on the 29th of June, 1857, that the Colo nial Secretary of State conveyed to Sir G. Grey, Governor of the Cape colony, the wish of her Ma jesty's Ministers that a regiment be despatched to Calcutta as speedily as possible, in consequence of the news received from India ; and on the 14th of July a private despatch was forwarded to Sir G. Grey, requesting that a regiment be at once sent to Ceylon to replace the troops which had been draughted to Calcutta, and instructing Sir George to purchase 1,000 horses for the artillery and cavalry. Another confidential despatch of the Ist of August expressed the confidence of her Majesty's Govern , merit in the discretion of the Governor of the Cape in continuing to take measures for sending such troops to India as he could spare. " The Govern ment," writes Mr. Labouchere, f rom Downing street, " place the most entire reliance in your dis cretion in continuing to take such measures with regard to the movement of troops in communication with the Indian authorities which (as) the interests of the public service may require." The horses ordered might be geldings or mares, and they were to be sent, by preference, to Calcutta. As some comments have recently appeared in the Times on the subsequent scanty supply of rein forcements from the Cape of Good Hope to India, it may be well to state that on the 29th of Aug ust Mr. Labouchere intimated to Sir G. Grey that the Government at home made no question that ho would have used every exertion to render the as sistance to the Government of India as prompt and effective as possible. Mr. Labouchere, basing his expectations on the Governor's own description of the perfect tranquillity of the Cape colony, trusted that he would have been able to spare six regiments, which would leave him four, besides the German Legion and the Mounted Rifle Corps. "In any case, however," continues the Colonial Secretary of State, "you should not already have sent six regi ments to India (including the one which has gone to Ceylon), I have to instruct you to do so with as little delay as may be practicable ; unless indeed ' the circumstances of the colony should have so materially altered since the date of your last despatches as to render this step manifestly dan gerous to its security." The Admiral at the Cape station had received ample directions about the transport of the troops, and the Government (Aug. 26) further proposed to send out two regiments from England to remain at the Cape, with the view of enabling Sir G. Grey to send on thence two other regiments in thesame ships to India, as " seasoned" troops, adapted to serve in that climate. On the 21st of October Secretary Labouchere was com manded by the Queen to express to Governor Sir G. Grey the sense which her Majesty entertained of the zeal and public spirit which he had evinced on this occasion, and her Majesty's entire approval of the measures which he had taken to render the most prompt and efficient succour to the Admini stration of India. " The succour which you have afforded," adds the despatch, " has doubtless been moat ' timely an d valuable, and her Majesty's Go vernment. rely with the utmost confidence on your con t muingte assist the Indian Administration by every means in you r power as circumstances may require and enable you to do so." On the 23d Oct. Lord Panmure's " en tire appr approval" of the measures o "taken by Sir G. Greydes p atchi ng troops to India was communicated to him throu gh M r . 2 11 h ou o c f ti N ere o.. . The Admiralty concurred. On the No vember last, Mr. Labouchere addresse 7 d ti a le s w or is t h of "reminder" to Sir G. Grey, reiterative:, of the Home Government, that he should avaeisl himself of the large number of troops then as sembled in South Africa, to render the utmost as sistance in his power to the Indian Government, and trusted that he would have been able to do so consistently with the safety of the colonists. An other despatch, of the nth of December, throws cold water on a proposal of Sir G. Grey to receive at tae Cape and at Natal any Sepoy regiments which it might be desirable to receive from India, and this closes the of despatches from Down ing -street. Ti series - They jochad lose of Sir G. Grey are a ppen ded. the aforesaid propo s al about the Sepoy regii n e e t G. Grey's rnealit:' and give detailed accounts of Sir India.

He boasted much, but it appears from the papers r rnE ; ;sicrm LeiNwo"N - , FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY _l5, 1858. on board the Inflexible (as represented b ...........................”...........11.....- 0 t o 11' her fore us, that although so much .f d r e e p e e m n e d n e ta nce was O neat captain, officers, and crew, appropriately y placed on him, the supply dia by him afforded was really in s i gni fican t.

's 89th and 95th Regiments (1,600 u. - - - the whole), and about 220 men of the strong in ~ Royal Artiltj. ry._ Sir G. Grey further informs the Colonial-office (A. 17:. 9) that he had forwarded to Calcutta a detachment,' of the 23d Fusileers, but these had merely arrived t7,' l route, and so, of course, would count for nothing. On the 25th of August the despatch of 500 men of I'll() 13th Regi ment to Calcutta is reported by the 6o;ernor of the Cape. The purchase of horses and the further despatch of 500 men to Ceylon in the Bosoawen, and of sundry horses and 250 additional men to Calcutta in the Megmra (3d of October), appear to complete the sum of Sir G. Grey's valuable "ups sua plies." He was asked for s ix regiments ; h constantly vaunting his desire to assist the Indian army, and talking grandly of what he intended or hoped to do ; and behold the result—the despatch of two regiments, a portion of a third, a company of artillery, and a few horses. The total reinforce ments reported to have been sent to Bombay and Bengal up to the 10th of August was 1,665 men, and to these must be added the 500 men of the 13th Regiment (already mentioned), and the 250 sent out in the Megmra, besides 560 horses. The troops for Ceylon were merely sent to replace others sent from that colony to India. —Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 14. MANSION-HOUSE.—Thos. Pleydell, confectioner, of No. 25, Bishopsgate-street Without, was summoned before the Lord Mayor, for having attempted to kiss Mrs. Elizabeth Aiken, the wife of a hairdresser who resides in the neighbourhood. _ The complainant said—On Sunday morning I went to he defendant's house, a little before 12 o'clock, to take home a razor which he had left with my husband. He opened the door and asked me if I had the razor, and I said "yes." He then asked me to go into the bakehouse whilst he went upstairs to get the key to pay the money. In about five minutes he came down and asked me if I would have a mincepie. I refused, and he said " do," and he put a mincepie in a paper bag and handed it to me. He then asked me if I had change for sixpence, and I gave him a penny and a threepenny piece, as the razor came to twopence. When I put my hand out to receive the sixpence from him he tried to kiss me, and he said he would not let me go till I kissed him. He then struggled very hard, with all his might, to kiss me, and he pulled rlae about in a very disor derly manner, and bent my bonnet. I got to the door, and then he tried three times more to kiss me. The defendant (who is a very serious-looking charac. ter) here said—My Lord, I never thought of kissing her, and I am ready to take my oath that I never made any attempt of the kind. The Lord Mayor—The shop was not open, I suppose ? The defendant (shaking his head) —Oh no, my Lord, never open my shop on Sunday. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—What did you give her the mince pie for ? I suppose that was to pay for the kiss you wanted to take ? (A. laugh.) The defendant—l gave her the pie for her civility in coming with the razor. I didn't want any kissing, not at all. She has not told the truth. The complainant—My Lord, I was quite ill with the exertions I made to get away from him. I consider his conduct moat scandalous. • Mr. Aiken, the complainant's husband—My Lord, I never knew my wife to tell a lie in her life. When she came home from the defendant's house I knew that something disagreeable had occurred at once, for she appeared to be greatly agitated and burst into tears. She lay quite prostrate for some time, and more like a dead than a living person. I wish your lordship to understand that I do not seek any advantage from this complaint. I merely come here to expose the circum stances of the case for the sake of pnblic justice. Mrs. Pleydell (the wife of the defendant)—My Lord, I believe what my husband says. I am sure he never attempted to take any liberty with her at all, and that all the woman has said is false. Mr. Aiken—l solemnly declare to your lordship that Mrs. Pleydell told me when she was spoken to on the subject that she believed every word my wife had uttered was perfectly true. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—And I believe so too. There is not the slightest doubt about the matter, and yet the defen dant has the audacity to say that he is ready to take his oath to the contrary. I fine him 40e. and costs, and he will not easily forget that the mere attempt to kiss cost him a couple of guineas. Patrick Leary, a porter in the employment of Messrs. Adams, of Pudding-lane, fruit merchants, was committed to prison for having stolen 28 oranges, the property of his masters. Mr. Oakley, who superintends the workmen on the premises, stated upon the occasion that it was scarcely to be credited to what extent this plunder of fruit chests was carried on, and The Lord l!dayor intimated that he would deal rigorously with every case of the kind. Thomas Henry White, conductor of an omnibus, was charged with having been intoxicated wuile performing his duty. The timekeeper of the General Omnibus Company stated that having been informed that the defendant was tipsy in Mansion-house-street, he took him into custody. No doubt the man was intoxicated, but he was exceed ingly civil, and made no resistance whatever. The manager of the company said the defendant was a respectable man, who conducted himself well in per forming his duty. The offence of intoxication was, how ever, one which would not be excused, and the direc tors had issued orders that any one of the servants who should be guilty of it should be at once committed to the custody of the police. The defendant said he had abstained from strong drinks altogether for 14 weeks, but having met an old friend he happened to take oae drop too much, which gave him the appearance of being drunk, but he would have been able to go through his business, if he had not been interfered with. Nevertheless, he was thankful to the officer who took him into custody. The Lord Mayor—l trust that the directors of the company will not discharge him, for it appears to me that he very much regrets the offence he has committed. The manager said he would state his lordship's impres sion upon the subject to the directors, and as the defend. ant was respectable, he hoped they would not discharge him. The Lord Mayor (to the defendant)—Now follow my advice and stop this horrible habit, which, if it gain upon you, will lead to your destruction inevitably. I had a poor fellow before me yesterday, charged with begging, who bad served 14 years in India, and whose only fault was, I really believe, his love of drink, which led him to beggary, and which, if you continue to indulge in it, will put you in a similar condition. You are now discharged. The defendant declared that no power on earth should prevail on him to drink, and appeared to be very grateful. AN ADVENTURE IN MINA. (From the Friend of China, Nov. 28.) Her Majesty's steamsloop Inflexible was entirely successful in her trip to Swatow an d its neighbour hood for the purpose of obtaining the release from durance there of Captain Rose of the wrecked brig Kadree. She returned here on Saturday, and we now learn the following particulars of the wreck, the detention, and the recapture. Straits'-owned oversew, vessels, we need hardly tell our readers, seldom have more than one Englishman on board, the master—whose principal, if not only duty, be yond a general supervision, is that of navigating when out of sight of land. Always when near the coast native pilots are employed. Thus the Kadree when pursuing her voyage from Macao to Amoy, was in charge of three Chinese pilots, and there is grave reason for believing that for a purpose, not by accident, was the Kadree stranded a short distance from Breaker Point on the 25th ult. The Kadree, uninsured, had on board a cargo of bark, tin, lead, &c., worth over 1,000 doll., and specie (three -fourths the owner's and one-fourth the supercargo's) amounting to 8,000 dols. Whether or not this specie was the object of desire on the part of these pilots cannot be said ; at all events, un less there were some collusion with the shore people, it is not known as yet whether they obtained any portion of it. The vessel first struck on a hard sand-pit about 4 in the morning of a beautiful day, and eventually drifted on to the beach, where she was soon sur rounded by numerous wreckers from the shore. In the course of the day two Portuguese lorchas came into the bay, and, seeing the position of the brig, made preparations for assisting her, The Christian portion of the crew of the brig, how ever, did not wait for assistance to come to them, and, jumping into the sampans alongside, left the vess el directly they had completed the ading in one of the boats of the specie, previously put into bags. Prior to the appearance of these lorchas it should be stated, a man, representing himself to be an officer of the Government, came on boat d, and strongly advised the Nakodah not to land, but to engage boats and get to Swatow as soon as possible, and it was arranged that for taking them there the treasure should be given as a remuneration. To this the Nakodah consented, and, with some dozen of the crew and Captain Rose, the sampan and valu ables pushed off on the morning of the 26th. But they had not proceeded far when they were sur rounded by numerous boats, and forced towards the shore ; the Nakodah and natives jumping into another boat and escaping. Captain Rose, unable by reason of weakness from fever and swollen legs to move from his position in the stern, was the sole prisoner. The first business of the captors, before dragging Captain Rose through the surf, was to strip him of everything he had on, and then to march him, naked as he was born, to a village some three miles inland, where he was forced into an outhouse among some straw. About four o'clock in the afternoon of the mane day Captain Rose saw 20 ctotß. paid and he was then driven out, like a wild animal, and beaten over his swollen legs with bamboos till the blood gushed from them. He was then made to go to a ferry, where a boat was found laden with 30 fathoms of one of the ship's cables, with which they proceeded up a rake some five or six miles, landing at sundown ; Capt. Rose being then shown into a hovel and made to lie on the bare floor, still naked, a bundle of straw for a pillow, and an old musquito curtain for a palampo. The next day, the 127th, on they went again overland a short distance, until Capt. Rose's legs could carry him no further, and then a chair was procured with which they proceeded in a due westerly direction to a village where our unfortu nate countryman was again sold for 50 dols. On the 30th of October, five days only after the wreck, Capt. Rose was greatly surprised at receiv ing a letter from Mr. Morrison, chief mate of the receiving brig Anonyma at Swatow, dated the 29th, asking him how he was. In reply Capt. Rose said he was kindly enough treated, and urged of course as early assistance as possible. This day, too, he was fortunate in obtaining the goodwill of an old woman, who gave him a pair of trousers to put on, and another dressed the wounds on his legs, the females throughout the detention exhibiting a kindness in marked contrast to that of their brutal lords. On the Ist of November another letter came, say ing 20 dols. had been sent for his release ; and on the 4th a third letter was brought, stating that tee 20 dols. would be increased to 100 dols. directly he appeared. But no sign of a move was made by the flesh holders until the 6th, when a man named Sin Kit came, bringing and paying down 230 dots. or 250 dols. On the 7th, after a good deal of chaffer ing and noise, a chair was brought, and in it Capt. R o se ffroceeded on his return eastward, passing, going and coming, no less than three walled towns, one of them Ton-goo, and some dozen large villages:— care being taken, however, to keep the raree -show of an English face from official and general gaze. It took them a day to reach the village of Hoa-lien, Sin Kit's dwelling-place. There Capt. Rose was kept until the 16th, when a letter was handed to him from Commander G. A. C. Brooker, of the steam-sloop Inflexible, in which that gallant officer explained that he had come to Swatow for the purpose of releasing Capt. Rose from the villagers. In this letter Capt. - Brooker stated that several sums had been offered for the ransom of Capt. Robe, that a war steamer had arrived on his account, and that he had intimated to Sin Kit that if the prisoner were not released Sin Kit would be handed over to the Mandarin at - , watow, or taken to Hong Kong. To this Capt. Rose replied that the ransom had been reduced to 370 taels, but that without the appearance either of money or force his release was hardly likely. Five more tedious days passed, and then, when almost despairing, Capt. Rose, was agreeably aroused from a noonday nap with, "Oh, you Englishman, prisoner I where are you I" Rousing himself he found the house in possession of a score of British marines and Vuejackets. Not a moment was lost in preparing for a return to the ship, anchored some nine miles off, Capt. Rose's toilet being soon completed—a thick coat from his last owner, together with the trousers before spoken of, being his sole wardrobe. And here we must pause in the narrative to give expression to our sense of admiration of the very judicious and gallant manner in which Commander Brooker effected Mr. Rose's release. Finding from the reply that the holders were still disposed to pre varicate, with a view to getting more money, he at once, with the concurrence, of course, of Captain Sullivan, of the Anonyma, whose generous aid, as well as that of Mr. Morrison, his chief mate, cannot n-h should be too hi g hl y spo k en o ff , se i ze d on Mr. Abi, the go.-betw een , an d t o ld hi m th a t without more ado hislife uld pay the forfeit unless he led the way to the prisoouse. Forthwith spent in searching the last e i t beach wa sfn o n f n w a l: lat beoaraill'enso:a anchor for the was ba y weighed ea threend amdilaeys f A ro t m las t the cutter, pinnace, and Friday, taking to be. fully on manned, Capt. Brooker landed with his frightened guide • a a point 9 miles, it was found, from the object of their &sire. Such was the celerity of their march that every one in the village was taken by surprise. H ow neces sary such celerity was to success our readers will as readily perceive as we can indicate. To exhibit its 'value, we quote Captain Rose's words to us when telling the story To march that distance from any support, knowing, as I do, the thousands upon thousands of infuriated Chinese who could have been summoned at the mere blowing of a conch shell was the pluckiest thing in Captain Brooker, Lieut. Anson, Dr. Magrath, and the 20 men I ever heard of. I would not have done it—no, not to save my own brother," tkra tittle more remains to be told. The In flexible was Liar down • 18 h ours e .7 reached about sun , afterwards she was at as,she r in Hongkong, WORSHIP-STREET.— A swarthy, well-dressed young man, who gave the name of George Miller, and said he was a cigar maker, living in Orchard-street, Peckham. was charged before Mr. Hammill with steal ing a valuable watch. Mr. William Pedder, a master mariner, residing in Savage gardens, Tower hill, accompanied by a friend, went the previous evening to the Standard Theatre, and while mixed with the crowd, gradually approach. ing the " pay box" was annoyed by the prisoner pressing forcibly against his left side, as though desirous of " going a-head," which, however, when an oppor tunity offered, he declined doing, but fell back to "starn." Prosecutor shortly afterwards, while in the act of taking his box ticket for himself and friend, heard a sudden " click," and directly finding that his watch, which had been suspended in his waistcoat pocket, had been snapped from the chain and stolen, he seized pri soner by the throat, accusing him of being the thief. " Indeed, indeed, sir, you are wrong. Had I got it I would tell you so," replied the prisoner. The officers of the theatre at this juncture coming up directed the accuser and accused to wait the arrival of a police con stable at the box-Stairs It was there that I observed three ladies standing near U 9, said the prosecutor, and the prisoner said to me, "You want your watch without further trouble." " The less the better," I replied. " Then," said he, "it is in your coat pocket tail." There I felt and found it, one of the " ladies " having, no doubt, stowed it away. I put it is my trousers pocket for safety ; and shortly afterwards prisoner asked —" You don't want anything more now that you have it all right, do you t" I replied, "I am not sure that it is all right ; you may have stolen it again ;" but I foand it was still in my pocket, and I gave the prisoner into custody. Manser, 102 G, stated that prisoner offered him 5/. to " try and make it all right," and prisoner was re s mended. WESTMINSTER.--Aaron Cullen, a respectable looking, middle-aged mac, was charged under the fol lowing circumstances Mrs. Conetince Lucy Matthews, treasurer of the School of Discipline, a reformatory for young females, Queen's-road West, Chelsea, stated that on the previous morning the defendant came to the house, and refused to leave unless his daughter, who was confined in the school under commitment, was given up to him. A policeman was sent for to remove him, and as he would not go, witness gave him into custody. In acs wer to quest'ons from Mr. Arnold, witness said that the school was-registered, and produced a condi ticn.al pardon from the Crown, under which the defen dant's daughter had been placed there. Defendant wished to explain his reasons for claiming his daughter. She got into bad company two years ago, when about 15 years of age, and was prosecuted at the Westminster sessions, and sentenced to 12 months' im prisonment, for stealing a watch from the house of her employer. He told the assistant judge that he was most desirous steps should be taken to reclaim her, when the judge informed him that he would see what he could do, but did not mention anything about a reformatory. She stopped in the prison till May, when she was removed to the School of Discipline at Chelsea. He visited her there, and finding just before Christmas that she looked very ill, he questioned her, when she said she had been ♦ery ill, but had not seen any doctor, and being desirous of taking her home and procuring a situation for her, he had demanded her, as he conceived, rightly. He had let her remain in the institution so long as he had be cause he thought it would be beneficial to her. He could not see that she ought in justice to be kept contrary to her wishes. Mr. Arnold observed that the pardon before him, which bore her Majesty's signature; was given upon con dition that she should be subject to the rules of the institution in which she had been placed, and that she should remain there until duly discharged. Defendant inquired who was to discharge ber ? Mrs. Matthews replied Sir G. Grey, and begged to call the attention of the magistrate to the terms of the con ditional pardon, "that she should be subject to the rules," one of which was that agirl could not be received into the school to remain less than two years. Defendant, who appeared to have committed the offence with which he was charged in order to raise the question of whether his daughter was not entitled to her di:3• clarge, argued that as her original sentence was only twelve months' imprisonment, her liberty should not be restrained any longer. Mr. Arnold was of a contrary opinion. She bad been removed from the prison to which she had been sent after undergoing a portion of her punishment upon cer tain conditions offered, and if she accepted them, she was bound b y t h em. Th e mag i s trate then cited the act of Pailiament to show that if any inmate of a registered reformatory absconded therefrom, or was disobedient to 1 the rules of the institution, he or she might bo brought before a magistrate and committed for three calendar months, in addition te the former sentence, and unless considered objects of the royal eltmency, might also be remitted back to gaol to serve the remainder of the original sentence. Defendant, who appeared satisfied with this exposi tion of the law, was then ordered to enter into his own recognisances to keep the peace. Charles Crow, a private in the Guards, was finally examined, charged with stealing two watches. The circumstances were somewhat singular. The pri soner went on the 6th inst. to Mr. Berry's, in Parlia ment-street, where the unfortunate man Casse was recently murdered, and having at his request been shown some watches, dashed out of the shop with one and escaped. On the following night he, singularly enough, went to Mr. Berry's other shop, Stafford-row, and played a simi lar trick, but was pursued and captured with the watch in his hand. The other watch was pawned by the pri soner directly after lie had possessed himself of it. Committed for trial. SOUTH WARK.—Mr. Edwin, solicitor, Dover-road, attended before Mr. Combe to obtain an order under the New Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act , for the pro tection of some property belonging to a married female, carrying on business in the Old Kent -road. She had tern deserted by her husband several times, and on each occa , -ion he bad plundered her of her money, and left her largely in debt. She was extremely industrious, and without any assistance from her husband was able to maintain herself and five children. He presumed that his worship could make the required order for protec tion under the 21st clause of the act. Mr. Combe—When did the husband desert her last Mr. Edwin—About five weeks ago. He then took away 40/., leaving her to pay three quarters' rent and a number of bills, and told her she might go to the work house if she could not pay. _____ Mr. Combe—l don't - think your application comes within the meaning of the act. He has only left her five weeks, and may return, and there is nothing to prevent the landlord coming in and seizing the goods for the rent due by her husband. Mr. Edwin—But my client has been assisted in main. taining her business by her relatives. The husband never assisted her. _ —......._ Mr. Combs—You say the husband has returned seve ral times, and only five weeks ago he deserted her. He may return again to-morrow. I cannot consider that a desertion within the meaning of the act. Mr. Edwin—Cannot you make an order for the pro tection of the goods by which she now gains her liveli hood 1 Mr. Combe—flax she acquired any property by her ow❑ earnings since her husband left her _ Mr. Edwin—l cannot say that exactly ; but her husband never rendered her any assistance, andit would be a hard case for her to be plundered by him 'again. Her landlord is willing to wait for the rent, and her friends will assist her if she can get protection. Mr. Combe—Under the circumstances which you represent I cannot interfere. It does not come within the meaning of the act of Parliament. if Mr. Edwin—We shall have to come before you again shortly, as it does not appear likely that the husband will return again in a hurry. Mr. Combe—l should be most happy to grant you the order, and as soon as yon can b r ing your application within the meaning of the act you can have it. The parties then left the court. LAMBETH —Yesterday, on the Hon. C. Norton taking his seat on the bench, a respectably-dressed middle-aged female entered the witness box and re quested his advice and assistance under the following somewhat singular circum3tances :—She stated that about eight months ago, after a widowhood of about two years, she married the brother of her former husband, thinking at the time that he would make as good a husband as his brother, but he turned out quite the contrary and treated her with the greatest cruelty and indifference. Mr. Norton—What is the particular treatment of which you complain t Applicant—He keeps me in a room by myself, without a bit of fire, and on dry bread—in fact, he nearly starves me, though at the time I married him I had 2001. of my own, which I gave him, and on which he commenced business. Mr. Norton—What is your husband Applicant—He's a baker, sir—a master baker. Mr. Norton—Then what do you want me to do for you? Applicant—My husband tells me he's no 'husband of mine—that our marriage is not legal; and I want to know if I am not entitled to the good house of furniture which I had when I got married. Mr. Norton—lenn!ortunately is so that your marriage is not legal ; and I don't know what to say about your furniture. I shall send an officer to your husband to hear what he has to say on the subject ; that is all _I can do at present. WANDSWORTH.—WiIIiam Wait, a toll collector on the Wandsworth-road Trust, was summoned before Mr. Ingham, charged with using abusive language in a public thoroughfare, under the following singular cir cumstances : The.summons was taken out by Mr. John Brooks, of Acre Cottage as the language used referred to him. The defendant was only fined at this court a short time since in two penalties of 40s. and costs, for abusing Mr. Brooks on another occasion, and also a storekeeper named Wood, near to the toil-bar. Sergeant Aybrook, of the Y division, stated that on Tuesday afternoon, the sth inst., he was passing along the Wandsworth-road, when he saw the defendant lean ing out of his box, and he said " Who stole the ducks l" Witness turned round and laughed, as he at first thought the observation was meant for him. The defendant, without taking any notice, answered his own question by saying "Johnny Brooks." The defendant then con tinued "To whom did they belong 1 Mr. Phillips down the road," Mr. Ingham wished to know if these . words were spoken out loudly, or were they merely a confidential soliloquy with himself ? The sergeant said he was on the opposite side of the road, and he heard him as he passed. It was said in a half talking and half singing manner. Mr. Wood was called and corroborated the statement of the sergeant. The defendant used very violent language in the court against both Mr. Brooks and Mr. Wood, and declared that complainant did steal the ducks. Mr. Brooks explained that he was returning home one night with a neighbour, when he saw three ducks run• ning loose in the road. He took them home, and the next day he made inquiries as to whom they belonged, and upon finding that they were the property of Mr. Phillips, in the Wandsworth-road, he sent them to his house, and Mr. Phillips gave his man a shilling for bringing them home. Mr. Ingham fined the defe ndant 40 s. and 2.. costs, or 21 days' imprisonmen t . The defendant then b ad to answer another summons f passing assaulting William Rosman, a mac hi n i s t at or her Theatre. the bar, when he sa w a crow d It appeared that t he com p lai nant in this case was a stranger to any of the p arties, an d on the evening of the same day ho was violently Majesty's of person; round th e defendant ' s box. Some gentleman was co mplaining that the defendant bad thrashed a boy, and Wait was using most disgusting language. Rosmanremarked that he was not a fit m an to be a toll.cellector to use such languag e, when the d efendant attacked him and afterwards struck him several violent blows on the face, and out his mouth. It also appeared that the de• fondant was drunk, and when in that state he was exceedingly violent. Mr. Ingham having remarked upon the abominable assault committed by the defendant, fined him 31., or one mouth. THE JEWS OB MOROOCCI. —The Revue Contemporcane contains a second paper by Mr. Cotte on the social state of Morocco, from which we condense the following har rowing picture of the condition of the Israelites in that unhappy country :—The Jews are considered by the M ussu l m ans of Morocco in .f the light of unclean animals they do not exterminate are useful, and b eca use true believers have a rig ht to turn everything to account. Indeed, were the J ewish p o pulation suddenly removed from the country, suc h an event would be a public cala mity of incalculab le magnitude ; f or it i s th e J ew a l on e them it f i t i s enemies onl o because G d theya and I who can mend a lock, build a h ouse, make go ld an d silver trinkets, coln money, decorate a room, e r weave silk, all such handic r a ft s being regarded by the Mussul man with supreme contempt. Even the Sultan himself is obliged to have recourse to them for the collection of taxes or negociations with Christians. Slaves in ap pearance, the Jews possess in reality all that power which superior talent and cunning can confer. Every night the Jews are shut up i n a part i cu l ar qu a r t e r, e and it is only after swine° they are ceoteail,rthe Mussulman town, where they nlo sl allowed edto a w have their shops. The Jewish qu a rter is called Mellah, w hichmeacs a place o f d amnat i on . T ang i er a l one h as a with none, because that town is already "defiled " by the pre sence of the Christian cousule. The Jew is obliged to wear black clothes, the colour being the emblem of mis fortune and malediction. If he passes before a mosque, a zaonia or chapel, or if he meets a holy man, a marabout, or a sherif, be must take off his shoes and carry them in his band until he has passed them. They are not allowed to cross a Mussulman cemetery, and their women are publicly flogged on the slightest pretence by a Muslin'. man woman, specially designed for this function, and who is called the ahrifa. If a Mussulman strike a Jew, the latter is not permitted to defend himself otherwise than by flight or stratagem. Mussulman children not more than 8 or 10 years old may sometimes be seen beat ing and throwing stone' at vigorous young Jews twice their siza and age ; they bite them, box their ears, scratch ' them ; and yet the unfortunate Israelites, with agony depict° i on their faces, dare not retaliate, and limit all their defence to endeavours to escape from their tormentor?. When the Sultan passes through a town the Jews of the place are obliged to offer him rich and magnificent presents. Yet, with all this burden of servitude upon them, they nev:r abjure thei!. faith; but this cosetancy, certainly commendable in itself, is coupled with the grossest ignorance and superstition. The creed they are taught is this—that God has dispersed them for a time, and that they must bend under his wrath until all the nations of the gl.ibe have passed over them ; but thattbe day will come when they shall be reassembled in the land of their fathers, and be as powerful as before. Meanwhile, all that the other nations possess they have been unjustly deprived of, and they therefore have a right to get possession of it again by any stratagem they can devise. They hate the Chri-tiaras quite as much as the Mussulmans, altho ug h t h e li tt l e p ro tection they enjoy at Tangier is due to the Christian consuls. When a Chris tian enters the house of a protected Jew he is received with every mark of hospitality ; but no sooner is his back turned than the glass out of which he has drunk is broken into pieces, and everything he has touched is subjected to a rigorous purificati n, performed with many complicated ceremonies. A Jewish servant will nut eat the meat she has cooked for a Christian, although bought at a Jewish butcher's, because it has been cooked in Christian vessels. BA M.

As a body they have assumed an attitude of indifference, if not of hostility, sod so long as this continues, I, for one, never expect to see their political emancipation. It is very different in the United States of America. There you see the churches crowded with both sexes, and societies every where formed among youths fur self improvement. Lake ourselves, our Transatlantic friends are somewhat too fond of making money ; but they know 01,0 wherein consists the secret of success, of true happiness, and of the strength of stat,.s, and they ha ve no relish for that perp,tual pleasure -hunting which degrades the European nations, and is the key of the despot's power. I look upon th e existence of societies like this as one of the su:eet signs of national health, and one of the most hopeful symptoms for the future ; a n d trust my lady friends will. not misunderstand me when I say that I have n o fear for Great Britain, so long as her churches and her lecture rooms display a fair proportion of men.—Specch. of Mr. Baxter, M.P., at Glasgow. - Barry's delicious Revalcnta Arabica [ADvsarls._ Food invariably restores health, without medicine, incouve• thence, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and removes indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility.

MANCHESTER—JAs. 14. A case came on for hearing before Mr. Mane field and Mr. Alder man liolme, at our polict -court, on Tuesday, which on the one side exhibited a persistent and systematic outrage on female delicacy by the defendant, and on the part of the ladies thus wantonly insulted, a simple and sum mary mode of punishment which must at once re commend itself to imitation in like cases. The facts are these :—On several days during the past week, and continued up to Sunday and Monday last, a well-dressed man was observed to be most constant in his visits to a particular locality in Prince's Park. A house in W— street, occupied by two young ladies, a female servant, and a brother-, absent dur ing the greater-part of the day, seemed to be the special object of his care and attention. Ordinary passers-by noticed no more than this, but the in mates had to complain of conduct on the part of the " gentleman" not fit for description in print. By indecent gesture and behaviour he rendered his presence particularly unpleasant. At first the sisters " kept never minding." They were indignant, most, certainly ; but, without a sacrifice of maiden modesty, they could hardly have made formal complaint. At length the blackguardism became too demonstrative to permit of further toleration, and the ladies resolved to take the law into their own hands. A messenger was despatched to the " youthful gallant" appointing a meeting within the house which be had so honoured with bis polite attentions ; and, nought suspecting he, with " wreathed smiles," approached and entered, trad ing softly on tip-toe, as if conscious of clandestine admission. Received by the elder of the two ladies, he was asked—" Pray sir, what do you want I" " What, but you sweet 'I" replied he, proceeding to take liberties as if with a certainty that they would be acceptable ; when a blow oh the head from a life-preserver afforded striking proof of the return' of his affection. The younger sister and the servant were not slow in following up the advantage ; and at length, well-belaboured, and with head stream• ing blood, crying out " Murder" lustily, and may hap mentally ejaculating— " Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, But why did you kick me down stairs I" he rushed from the Louse which he bad entered in such anticipatory triumph an humbled and de. graded dastard ! But the distard is ever a fool, and the folly of the Lothario did not stop here. He proceeded to the police-station, and complained to Inspector Dodd of the murderous assault com• raided on by the ladies in W— street. Now Inspector Dodd being a vigilant officer as weli as a sensicle man, and knowing that the, fair ladies named were most respectable, thought there must have been more in the case than the party represented ; so, after attending to th e man wounded head before thinking of his wounded feelings, and getting his cuts dressed at the dispen sary before applying the remedies of the law at the police-office, the inspector deemed a little inquiry necessary. Inquiry, of course, revealed the true facts ; and, in the exercise of a wise disoretion, the inspector turned the complainant into the com plained of, and arrested him for indecent behaviour / At the police court, on Tuesday, as we have said; the case was heard. The name of the offending party was found to be Mr. Graham Gibson. The ladies appeared to prosecute. They stated the foregoing facts in evidence, and did not deny the castigation inflicted ; and the magistrates, after expressing an opinion that the blackguard had been served right," supplemented the Lynch law of the ladies by a sentence of three months' impri ; sonment and hard labour. —Liverpool Daily Post.
