THE NAVY. '—'llll-e—Caifaiii;6,liWddld "frigate; - Capt. J. C. Clif- - ford, C. 8., arrived at Spithead on Thursday night. She left Naples on the lith ult., arrived at Gibral tar on the 23d, and left again on the 26th. She brought home about 20 convicts from Gibraltar whose terms have expired • she experienced strong easterly gales. in the Bay of Biscay, in which she re ceived considerable damage to her bulwarks, &c., and hove to for so me time, but the wind not abating, she proceeded for Spithead, which she left yester day afternoon for Devonport. On the 30th ult. she spoke the steamship Dement, off Cape Ortegal, bound for England. The committee of investigation on dockyard eco nomy, consisting of Rear-Admiral It. Smart, K.IL; Mr. It. Laws, storekeeper at Chatham dockyard ; Mr. H. Chatfield, master shipwright at Deptford dockyard ; and Mr. A. Murray, chief engineer at Sheerness dockyard, arrived at Chatham on Thurs day evening, and yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, commenced their investigation into the system and arrangements carried out in the various establish ments connected with Chatham dockyard, in which duty they were occupied during the whole day, the heads of departments and the various officers be longing to the dockyard affording the committee every assistance. A number of hands were yesterday engaged in trimming the keel and laying down the blocks for the construction of the new 91-gun ship Anson, or dered to be commenced on the slip from which the Edgar was launched a few days ago at Woolwich. The diMensions are to be precisely similar to those of the Agamemnon. The following, appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Assistant -Surg eons —Francis W. Davis to the Impreg nable • Garland ' W. L. Harrison (acting), to the Devasta tion; 'Duncan M'N. Johnston (acting), to the Imaum. Assistant -Paymaster —Henry J. Ray, to the Royal Albert. THE ARMY. It is now positively understood that a fifth bat talion will be added to the Rifle Brigade early in the spring, and that the numerous rifle militia re giments now embodied, and to be then called out for training, will be called on to volunteer for the corps. A very disgraceful system of desertion from the army, and enlistment from one corps into another, for the sake of the intermediate bounty, has been discovered to prevail, and there is good reason to suppose that upwards of 6,000 men have accepted her Majesty's bounty, first in one regiment and then in another. Lieut. - Genera l Sir 11. Smith, at a recent inspection of troops near Preston, expressed his opinion that fully that number of men were pursuing the system. Her Majesty's Government, in order to put a stop to it, have increased the re ward for the restoration of a deserter from 10s. to 20s. THE MILITIA. The whole of the artillery regiments of militia are to be embodied for permanent duty. The corps will be employed to strengthen the garrisons now stationed in the forts along the coast. COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. The following proposal has been submitted to Lord Stanley as Secretary of State for India : " Oct. 4. "My Lord,—We ask permission to refer to the correspondence submitted to your lordship on the 10th of August last, in which we state our readi ness to enter into a contract with her Majesty's Go vernment for a permanent transport service to India, either by way of Suez or the Cape of Good Hope. " This service we propose to perform by means of eight screw steamships belonging to the European and American Steamship Company (Limited), sail ing punctually once a month on a stated da y from Southampton, and leaving Calcutta in like manner once a month, touching at the Cape of Good Hope, going and returning, on every voyage. "The interview with which your lordship recently favoured Mr. O'Beirne, representing our house, en abled that gentleman to explain to your lordship the principle on which we proposed to perform this service. We now beg to state in writing, for the information of the Council, the leading features of our proposition. " We have the control of the eight screw steam ships above mentioned, each of the average tonnage of 2,300 tons, and 300-horse power ; they are iron ships, built by Mare an Co., and the engines by Maudslay, Sons, and Field. Two of these ships are now on their way to India with troops, one is on her way home from India, and the other five are now in the Victoria Docks. " Three of those now in dock are ready for imme diate service ; the others can be put into a state of perfect efficiency at the shortest notice, the whole fleet having last year undergone the most thorough overhaul, at a cost to the company of upwards of £160,000, or £20,000 for each vessel. " They are sister ships, and can carry between decks 600 soldiers, with the usual requirements for hospital and other accommodation. " The character which this fleet has earned for itself during the whole period of the Crimean war, and subsequently during the last 15 months, in transporting troops to India, must be so well known toy our lordship as to render it unnecessary to make any remarks as to their admitted fitness and capa bility for the speedy and comfortable conveyance of large bodies of troops on distant voyages. " The establishment of a regular steam commu nication with India via the Cape of Good Hope cannot fail to have arrested the attention of your lordship and the Council as a matter of vital im portance, both in a military, and commercial point of view, in its political bearing upon the future of India. It will require some time, however, for such communication to be established without the aid of a postal contract, or without some arrange ment being- entered into by her Majesty's Go vernment that will secure a certain income against the heavy outlay contingent upon such com munication. With eight ships we possess the ne cessary surplui:nge of tonnage to ensure regular de partures, even in case of accident. With a lesser number a slight derangement of machinery or an occasional long passage would prevent the desirable and most important regularity. This security against interruption in the performance of the ser vice is one which no other owners of steamers can CROSKEY AND CO " The Right Hon. Lord Stanley, M.P., Secretary of State for India, East India-howse." command. "Provided we can obtain from the Council for India a contract or undertaking by which they will be bound for three years to ship to Calcutta or Madras on or before a fixed day of each month not less than 600 men by each ship, for each departure from Southampton, at a price to be agreed upon, and not less than 200 in v a li d s from Calcutta or Madras at a lesser price, also to be agreed upon, we will undertake— . "1. To despatch one of the abovenamed ships on a fixed day of each month to India from Southamp ton, and the same from Calcutta, touching eachway at the Cape of Good Hope. • "2. The ships to be kept in good working order, both as to machinery and hull, to the satisfaction of the surveyors of the Board of Trade. " 3.

A certainm amountrand of cabin accommodation manner will be in like a with like notice reserved for military officers and employes at a reduced rate for passage below what we shall ordinarily charge to the public.

In the event ot our obtaining postal con tract from South am p ton to the Ca p e, one half of I such contract will be placed to the credit of or paid over to the Council of India. " The question of price and other points which may occur to your lordship, or to the Council, are left open for negotiation or arrange_ ment. We may, however, be perm itted to remark that, if the prin ciple of our proposition be Fcepted, we are prepared to fix the price for the services to be performed, and will be disposed to accommodate ourselves to any other views or requirements as for the same may be practicable. " As so large an amou nt of va l u able shipping property cannot remain long in idleness, we would_ beg of your lordship to favour us with a n early de cision on the subject, so that we may be free, in ease of our proposition being unfavourably- received, to accept of other business we have in view. " It i s useless to add that we hold ourselves at your disposal, and at the disposal of the Council, in ease an interview may be desirable.—We have the honour to be, &c., METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. _A_-general meeting-of the-Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented; and shows a total general balance of £139,933 ss. ld. THE MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. A letter was received from Mr. Roffey, vestry. clerk of the parish of Lambeth, enclosing resolu tions passed at a meeting of the vestrymen of that parish, setting forth their great disappointment at the proposition recently made to commence the main drainage works of the metropolis on the north side, in opposition to a former recommendation of their own engineer, that any works for this object should be commenced on the south side on account of the vast amount of disease which prevailed in the low-lying districts on that side of the river. Mr. TAYLOR then moved that the resolutions be received, and gave notice that on Friday next he should call the attention of the board to them. The motion was then put and agreed to. DEODORIZATION OF SEWAGE MANURE. A report was received from the Committee of Works and Improvements, reporting " That in the opinion of the committee, it is expedient that chemical assistance should be placed at their disposal, to enable them to report on the several schemes for the deodorization and the application of sewage submitted to the board." Mr. WRIGHT moved that this recommendation be agreed to, which was seconded by Mr. DIXON. Mr. CRELLIN thought that this was a matter requiring further consideration, and moved as an amendment that the report be referred back to the committee. Mr. ECKETT seconded the amendment. After observations from Mr. CARPMAEL and Mr. WRIGHT, The CHAIRMAN put the question, and the amendment was negatived. A second amendment was then moved by Mr. CARPMAEL, that the subject be postponed for one month. Mr. PEW opposed the amendment, and said he did not see that they would be in a better condi tion to consider the question a month hence than they were then. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR believed the best way to deal with the matter would be to leave it entirely in the hands of the committee, at the same time restrict ing the cost of chemical assistance to £lOO. This suggestion was agreed to, and the original motion was put and agreed to. THE PROPOSED WIDENING OF NEWGATE-STREET. A report was received from the Works Com mittee stating that they had considered the memo rial from the Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London, stating that they had had under their consideration the improvement of a portion of New gate-street, by setting back the houses numbered 78, 79, 80, 81, and 82, as shown upon the plan ac companying the memorial, that the cost would be £3,232 10s.. and requesting the Board to effect the improvement in question, and that the committee are not prepared to recommend the Board to effect such improvement. Mr. WRIGHT said, as the Board were not called upon to contribute towards the proposed improve ment, but to take it entirely upon themselves, he should move that the recommendation of the com mittee be adopted. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said it was the duty of the Board to make improvements in the metropolis, and that this would be a great improvement no one could deny ; and if the whole expense of it were cast upon the Board, it would only be meting out to the city of London - what had already been done for other parts of the metropolis. Mr. BURSLEM seconded the amendment, believ ing that this was not a local but a metropolitan improvement.' Mr. FREEMAN was opposed to effecting these great improvements out of the sewer rates. Mr. CRELLIN was in favour of the subject being referred back to the committee. After some further discussion, The CHAIRMAN put the motion, and the amend ment was unanimously adopted. RATING THE METROPOLIS TO THE MAIN DRAINAGE. A report was received from the Finance Com mittee submitting the basis upon which the assess ments for the Metropolitan Drainage Rate shall be made. Mr. Deputy HARRISON, in moving the adoption of the basis of this rate, said it had been calculated that the rateable value of the property of the me tropolis was £11,000,000, which being rated at 3d. in the pound would produce a gross aunt of £153,359, and that would enable the Board to meet their engagements, and, indeed, to pay off the sum of £3,000,000 which they were authorised to raise, under the act of last session, within the time allowed for that purpose. A period of 40 years was allowed, but it would all be paid long before that. He concluded by moving that the precepts should be made returnable on the 12th of March, 1859. Mr. SNOW seconded the motion. Mr. TURNER moved, and Mr. EcKETT seconded an amendment that the subject stand over for further consideration. Mr. NICHOLAY supported the amendment ; but he hoped the ratepayers of the metropolis would not imagine that 3d. in the pound would be all that would be required from them, and, although 3d. had been mentioned, that was only an estimate, and he should Rot be surprised if that amount were Idoubled, or even trebled, before the w ork was finally disposed of. The CHAIRMAN put the question, and the original motion was agreed to by a large majority. It was then agreed that precepts should be issued, signed by and sealed with the common seal of the Board to be returßable on the 24th of June. THE PROPOSED PURCHASE OF BERKELEY-HOUSE, SPRING-GARDENS. A report was brought up from the Committee under the Building Act and for General Purposes, which was as follows : " Greek-street, Soho•square, Nov. 4. " Your committee have now to report, that in further pursuance of the resolution of the Board of the 9th of July last, to the effect that the Board do enter into an agreement i for taking the premises, Berkeley-house, Spring-gardens, mentioned in the report of this committee, and that the subject be referred back to the committee to take the neces sary steps for purchasing the present lease, and obtaining a new one oft the terms and conditions mentioned in such re-, port, they instructed the solicitors of the Board (Messrs. Smith and Son) to place themselves in communication with the solicitors of the Treasury, with a view to the prepara tion of the requisite agreement for the surrendering of the present lease, and obtaining a new one on the terms and conditions approved by the Board. The agreement has been prepared, and has been approved by the solicitors of the Treasury, and your committee now submit the same, in order that it may be sealed with the seal of the Board, and they recommend that the sum of £4,000 be deposited by the Board, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. All which your committee have to submit, " J. THWAITES. " GEORGE °FIT% " ROBERT TAYLOR." Mr. OFFOR moved the adoption of the report, and at some length dwelt on the advantages which would be derived by all persons employed by re moving to premises where they would have ample room, pure air, and ,plenty of light. Mr. DIXON seconded the motion. The motion was opposed by Messrs. BURSLEM, ECKETT, and CRELLIN ; and supported by Mr, Deputy HARRISON and Mr. PEw. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, when the numbers were—Ayes, 22 ; Noes, 8. IiAIN DRAINAGE. A report was brought up from the Main Drainage Committee, reporting that they had considered the specification for the Northern High Level Sewer. land recommending the same for approval. The recommendation was, after some discussion, agreed to. The Board adjourned soon after four o'clock. A GIRL FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.—An inquest was held on Monday evening at Mr. W. Sutton's, Much Hoole, near Preston, touching the death of Martha Spencer, a girl. ' l3 years of age, who came to her death through a most shameful joke perpetrated on the preceding Friday evening. The following evidence was adduced :—Bridget Riley, a factory worker, said the deceased also worked in the factory. On Friday night last they lea work together a little after six o'clock, and in company with five other girls went along the turnpike-road leading to Liverpool. They had a distance of about a mile and a-half to go. When they got near the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Hoole they saw a coffin lying across the footpath. When they got within four yards of the coffin it moved and a 1 hollow sound came from it. The girls all ran back and screamed. Martha Spencer and witness were the only two who got near to the coffin. They ran back about 50 yards, and came up with Joseph Gill and Jane Hinde. Witness and the deceased turned back with them, and when they had got within five or ten yards of the place where they had befor e seen the coffin they saw Richard Forshawe and Robert Mawdsley (two apprentices to Mr. Howard, wheel wright, not q frig u h it t e en d ea arl . t, bTuntedyudsikd. not The s deceased speak a. of Hoole) with the coffin on their shoulders.

The special committee appointed by the Court of Quarter Sessions for Mid llese7.; in May last, to con sider the application of tb c !,dfirectors of the Metropo litan Railway Company t ne allowed to tunnel under the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, have made their report ;-- 4, By the terms of the reference frAn n the court, your committ. te were empowered t o con sider of agreed to, with power to eon. shouldha t e terms nsebe o; f the dirk if at all, the appe • tors) competent _A„ the s i u d i e t d r a u r t e p e t o t h n o e r l s v exp persons both as to the v, alue of 'Vle concession sought from the county, and a 1 so 'ds to the practicability of executing the propose ~ 4 . tunnel, and the stipulations necessary for the ser .1111.4 of the resent and any future erections co nnected with th?prison; and to advise generally on the merits of the proposal. Your committer on the 4th of June, were attended by a deputatic ,n of the directors (accompanied by their enginer, r and solicitor), and it was then inti mated to fl - .em that, before incurring the expense of consurtinrs competent persons as to the value of the concession sought from the county, and the practic ability of executing the proposed tunnel, and the stipulations necessary for the security of the pre sent and any future erections connected with the prison, they had thought it desirable to take the opinion of counsel whether, under the existing state of the law, the proposed tunnel could be made without further legislative powers, which opinion being that further powqs were necessary the directors suggested that, as:iuming the opinion to be correct, the magistrates might, with propriety, if they thought proper, _ make an arrangement such as was proposed by the company, provided such arranFernent were made pro visional on its ratifAeation by Parliament next year, with the consent of both parties ; and repeating the readiness, of the company to incur the expense of obtainirT, the opinion of an eminent en gineer, for the pulpose of ascertaining whether any other objection existed to the plan proposed. Under these circumstances, the committee at once sought the advice of Mr. G. P. Bidder, and, on the Bth of July th ey received from him an elaborate report, from which, although he expressed an opinion that the - proposal to carry the railway under the prison is practicable, still, as it would have to be carried 'out in the first instance, by an open cutting, pro tected during the progress of the work by . a move able iron shield—the roof of the tunnel being only seven feet at one point below the surface of the prison ground—and would involve the reconstruc tion and re-adjustment of a considerable portion of the drains, it appeared to them to be in every re spect objectionable, and likely to create so much difficulty in the management and discipline of the prison, that in transmitting a copy of Mr. Bidder's report to the directors, they repeated what they had expressed at their first interview with the directors —that the county - would greatly prefer the directors adopting the alternative alluded to in one of their former communications, so to deviate the line of the proposed railway as to avoid the prison alto gether. On the 24th Sept. the committee received a reply, stating that the directors had finally deter mined to apply in the next session of Parliament for powers to deviate the line so as to avoid the House of Correction ; and that the directors hoped, in their application to Parliament for this purpose they might reckon on the countenance and support of the justices. By the original Act (17th and 18th Vic., e. 221.) the company were empowered to take the prison for the purposes of their railway, within three years after the 7th Aug., 1854, and by the 19th and 20th Vic., c. 119, the time was extended one year, so that their powers lapsed on the 7th of August last." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. coffins were found and complaints were made, they did. what he (Mr. Cameron) wished they would now do—viz., discontinue the excavations. He should be able to show that frightful desecrations within the past few days had taken place. The authorities of St. Pancras had great difficulty in getting in, and it was not until he had seen one of the churchwardens o f St. Martin's that admission could be gained_ Mr. Dangerfield said as soon as the churchwar dens were applied to they at once granted permis sion. He would admit the removal of the human remains, not bodies, and call upon the other side, in the terms of the faculty, to prove that there was no faculty. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that this was one of that sort of cases in which the defendant had a right to begin. Mr. Cameron said he was prepared to prove that coffins in a perfectly sound condition had been taken up and ruthlessly broken to pieces, the re mains wheeled in barrows and pitched into a hole, and the wood piled up against one of the houses. Mr. Dangerfield said when he was called upon he should ke able to prove that the rema ins s p oken of were reffioved from the parish of St. Martin at the time of the Charing-cross improvements. Mr. Cameron was prepared to prove that certain burials had taken place in that part of the ground in which the excavations were now going on. Within the last five years the parish authorities of St. Pancras had received orders from the Secretary of State to close the vaults under the churches, which they . had done at great expense, and yet another parish could remove coffins and bodies to the injury of the health of the parishioners without being interfered with. Mr. Tyrwhitt—They have got a faculty to remove from all parts of the ground in dispute to that in which no dispute has arisen, and which is not to be covered. Mr. Cameron—That faculty is a perfect mockery, and the grounds upon which it was obtained are on presumption and belief. Mr. Tyrwhitt—They allow that burials had taken place, and they obtained the faculty to remove to other parts. Mr. Cameron—They say in it that it was only burials of paupers, and they were removed from other parts. Now, he should like to know why the bodies of paupers were not to be respected as well as those of other persons. Mr. Tyrwhitt—All that the faculty requires is that the removal shall be done decently. It had been stated in the preamble to the local Act that no bodies had been buried there, and when they found to the contrary they obtained the faculty. If there was wantonness or impropriety in the way in whic7a the bodies were removed, thenthe parties offending could be indicted. Mr. Cameron—The faculty refers to " such bodies," which means the bodies which were re moved from Charing-cross, not those which were buried there so late as 1854. Mr. Dangerfield said the burials which had been made so much fuss about took place in another part of the ground, and if it was wished the ground should be dug up and the coffins shown. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the faculty applied to those coffins which were removed from Charing-cross and all bodies found there must be removed with decency. Mr. Cameron—The faculty would not have been granted by the bishop if it had been known that burials had taken place there within these five years. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that decency or public morals must not be shocked. The present summons would be dismissed. Mr. Dangerfield said that until Friday next the excavations would cease, and he did hope that the disturbance would be discontinued, for he might mention that he knew the names of several parties, and that they would be indicted if it was continued. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was impossible to do any good by violence. If the parties who removed the bodies did not do so properly, they would be punished. The parties then left the court. Various cases of violent assaults upon the police arising out of the same affair were heard in the course of the day. LAMBETH.—Mr. Wm. Bennett, the husband of the late Madame Coton, who lost her life by the late explosion in Melina-place, Westminster-road, and who had been tried at the Old Bailey on a charge of manslaughter, attended before the Hon. G. C. Norton to answer a summons charging hint with the sale of fireworks, by which he had in curred a penalty of £5. Mr. Tritton, the vestry clerk of St. George-the-Martyr, attended to sup port the complaint, and Mr. C. Lewis, of Ely-place appeared on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Wellman, the inspector of nuisances for the k parish of St. George-the-Martyr, said that he had received directions from the vestry to put down the nuisance of the sale of fireworks in the parish, and had in consequence employed two witnesses, who would be called, to purchase fireworks at a shop recently opened by the defendant. He (Mr. Well man) did not witness the sale himself, and there fore could say nothing about it. Two witnesses were then called, namely, Frederick Collett, who appeared to be a cripple, and about 22, and George Knighton, a sharp lad of 13, and from their testimony it appeared that on Monday about 4 o'clock they went to a shop, 2, Melina-place, Westminster-road, which had re cently belonged to a tobacconist, but been converted into one for the sale of fireworks. At the time they entered there was a little girl behind the counter serving a gentleman with fireworks, and the defendant, Mr. Bennett, was also in the shop standing outside the counter. Collett asked for six pennyworth of crackers and three pennyworth of squibs, and these were served by the girl. The defendant then asked if he should make it a shil ling's worth, and, Collett having consented to his doing so, the defendant took some additional fire works out of the window, and folded all into a parcel. Collett then placed a shilling on the counter, which the defendant pushed towards the girl, and the latter put it into a drawer or till. This was the case in support otthg complaint. The witnesses were subjected to a searching cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, and from Collett it was elicited that he had been discharged from a situation through his loss of £2. He denied, how ever that he had been given into custody, or that the police had been called in the matter. The younger witness stood the test of cross-examination admir ably. Mr. Lewis addressed the bench at some length, hoing it woul notconvict on a highly peual statute which re d co quired the testimony of two credible witnesses. Mr. Norton imposed the full penalty of £5 POLICE L '.—(Nov. 5.) GUILDHALL.—Mr. Walter Sheppard, a con fectioner of Fleet-street, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Cubitt to answer to a complaint for not supporting his wife. Mr. Gresham appeared for the defendant. Mrs. Sheppard said she had been married 14 years to the defendant , and on the 14 th of July la s t he turned her into the street, and all he had allowed her since was 15s. in three separate payments. The last she received on Sept. 13, and she had since been obliged to apply to the union for relief. Previous to that Mr. Bayford, a proctor, had assisted her with various small sums to the amount of £3. She re ceived a letter from the relieving officer of the West London Union, which she took to the defendant, but he only gave her into custody. On the follow ing day she went to the union, and Mr. Palmer gave her relief. Cross-examined —The defendant turned her out of doors because he was keeping another woman, and he had since been endeavouring to obtain a judicial separation. She had never passed the night with a man named Frowd at a coffee-shop in Bishopsgatc-street-without. Mr. Gresham said the defendant was a respect able tradesmen in the city of London until he un happily became acquainted with this unfortunate woman. He resisted the application, on the ground that she was not legally chargeable to the parish, and also that she had committed adultery. He was prepared to prove both points, but he was anxious to avoid the exposure of family matters, if possible, and if, therefore, the parish officer would state what sum would be sufficient to put an end to these ap plications he would advise his client to accede to anything in reason. Mr. Bayford, the proctor for Mrs. Sheppard, said the defendant had commenced a suit, but it was not on the ground of adultery. He had advanced her money from time to time as long as it was neces sary to see her concerning the suit, but, as soon as it was not requisite to see her, he advised her to apply to the union. After some further negotiations between all par ties, it was arranged that the defendant would allow his wife 6s. per week, on condition that she did not annoy him in his busineffis. The summons was therdire . allowed to stand over. BOW-STREET.—Mr. Tomlinson, 454, Strand, pawnbroker, waited on Mr. Jardine, and stated that he had that day stopped a watch offered in pledge by a woman who said it belonged to her husband. He suspected it to be stolen, from the manner in which the swivel had been broken. He was obliged to' let the woman go, as there was no policeman in sight,. but he detained. the watch, which he now produced. It was a lady's gold watch, and the name of " Swann" was engraved on it. He wished the matter to be noticed in the papers, which would probably lead to the discovery of the owner, to whom he would restore the watch. WESTMINSTER.—AIfred Lowe, alias Smith, alias Kruse, and various other names, who stands charged with conspiring with others to obtain pos session of a great number of houses, was brought up for re-examination, when the court was, as before, densely crowded with the prisoner's victims and others. Mr. Marshall, barrister, again attended to pro secute, and, after completing the cases which have already been detailed, said that there were number ' less other complaints of a like character which might be established against the accused, but it was useless to multiply cases of that description, and he would proceed to one of a much more serious cha racter. He now charged the prisoner with felony, under the following circumstances :—ln March last - the accused, under the name of K ruse, applied to a Miss M‘Lean, of 27, Bryanston-street, Portman square, for the lease of a furnished house belonging to that lady. He represented himself as a surveyor and land agent, of 7, Maddox-street, Regent -96 street, and said he was acting for Dr. Davies, a gentleman of fortune and member of Parliament, )86 who had left his own mansion in Oxfordshire and 36 wanted a furnished house in a fashionable part of 80 10 the metropolis. The person represented as Dr. Davies subsequently made his appearance, and ex pressed his approval of the house, but said he had left matters of this sort entirely to his agent, Mr. Kruse. The latter, attended by a person who 66 10 passed as his clerk, went through the house, and, having taken an inventory of the fur niture, it was arranged that Dr. Davies should take possession on the 30th of March, at £230 per 16 annum, Miss M'Lean retaining possession of one 13 room, in which valuable property was deposited. IA The keys of this house, and possession of it, )32 were:formally given to the prisoner by Miss M‘Lean L2B on the night of the 30th March, he alone being left - in the house. On the following day Miss M•Lean ;18 ! 3 6 wanted to take away some trunks from her store -72 room, and went to the house, but was unable to ob tain admittance. She paid a second visft on the 32 second day, and, having on the third evening taken - the opinion of the police, entered the dwelling with her latch' key, and found that it was deserted. Her store-room had been broken into, all her boxes 174 forced open, and plate, linen, and other property to the value of £l5O carried off. She never heard of 45 nor saw anything more of Dr. Davies or the prisoner 39 until iww. In addition to the plundering of the 18 i 25 s t ore - r oom as described a valuable vase had been purloinedEs Miss ,1 L from c an the having b i n e e g n - r o e o x ma examined in support . '1 of this statement the prisoner was committed upon the three charges before alluded to, of conspiracy, but further remanded upon the charge of felony till Wednesday. CLERKENWELL.—George Lawrence, of S Martin's Chapel, Pratt-street, Camden-town, ap peared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the follow ing summons For removing tho bodies and re mains of bodies from the burial ground known as Saint Martin's Cemetery, Pratt-street, Camden town, in the parish of St. Pancras, without a faculty granted by the ordinary for that purpose, and with out licence under the hand of one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, contrary to the statute. ' The case excited a great deal of interest, and the court and its avenues were crowded to excess to hear the proceedings. • The neighbourhood of the grave yard was besieged by large mobs of people of every description, and the whole of the high boarding which bad been placed by the graveyard authori ties to prevent the public from seeing what was going on was pulled down and set fire to. So vio lent did the mob become that it was found neces sary to send for additional police from the sur• rounding stations. Mr. Cameron, one of the churchwardens o the parish of St. Pancras, attended to prose cute on behalf of that parish ; and Mr. Danger field, the vestry clerk of St. Martin's, repre sented the defendant. Mr. Loxton, the superin tendent of the S division, was also in attendance, as were several of the local clergy, Mr. H. Farrer, late churchwarden, Mr. J. Collins, Mr. H. 0. Nodes, and other members of the vestry ; Dr. Hillier, medi cal officer of health ; Dr. Jeffray, district medical officer ; Mr. C. Greene, clerk to the burial board, &c. Mr. Cameron said it would be in the recollection of the Court that two summonses,taken out against the present defendant and Mr. Latchford, the church warden of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, stood ad journed to this day. These summonses were heard on the 28th of August, and were taken out under the provisions of the common law ; but the present was taken under the 25th section of the Burial Act, which provides a penalty npt pxceeding £lO for any offence committed against its provisions. When the first summonses were heard it was ar ranged that no further excavations should be made until those summonses were settled. _ _ Mr. Dangerfield said, at the time he would give no promise. Great endeavours had been made in Camdeh-town and its neighbourhood to make pre judice ; for what was done in August had been done now. After the last case was heard a meet ing of the trustees of the parish of St. Martin was held, and they, in deference to the excitement that then prevailed, agreed to suspend the works until the season was more advanced. The present sum mons had been taken taken out under the Burial Act, and he was prepared to meet it. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the safe way would be to fix a day to hear all that occurred before the 25th of August. Mr. Cameron—l hope all further excavations will be stayed in the meantime. Mr. Dangerfield said he would agroe to that if any early day were fixed. Mr. Tyrwhitt said this day week, which was agreed to by all parties ; excavations to be stayed in the meantime. Mr. Cameron said the summons that now stood for hearing was taken out under the Burial Act. The parish of St. Martin had obtained a local Act of Parliament, the 17th and 18th of Victoria, chap. 154, which enables them to build on certain portions of the Camden-town Cemetery not heretofore used for interments. Part of the preamble set forth that part of the land had not been in use, and abutted on the fronts of the streets, and the first clause re cited that from and after the passing of the ,Act these portions should not be buried in. In the schedule to the Act one part of the land is set forth as that abutting on Camiien-street, and that was the portion where the disturbances were now taking place. He regretted that the parish of St. Martin had designedly defrauded the Legislature, for instead of one or two burials having taken place there, hundreds of coffins had been found.

THE POISONINGS AT BRADFORD. Yesterday, the magisterial inquiry into the ex tensive poisoning by peppermint lozenges, in the making of which arsenic had been used in mistake for plaster of Paris, was resumed at the Bradford Court-house. The particular death which was the subject of the inquiry was that of Elizabeth Mary Midgley,. a child seven years of age, who died on Wednesday morning at the house of her parents, working people living in Bradford. The grand mother of the deceased bought two ounces of pep permint lozenges on Saturday night . at the stall of William Hardaker, in the Bradford Greentaarket, and two of the lozenges were given to the de ceased on Sunday afternoon. Immediately after wards she became ill, and died as already stated. Other members of the same family were poisoned by eating of the lozenges, bid they have recovered. Mr. Henry Taylor, surgeon, of Bradford, who had attended the deceased, proved that she had died from the effects of some irritant poison. Mr. F. W. Rimmington, analytical chemist , who had made an analysis of some of the lozenges sold to the deceased's grandmother, and_ also of lozenges found on Hardaker's stall, stated that each lozenge weighed about 43 grains, and the average quantity of arsenic contained in each was between 14 and 15 grains. Mr. Rimmington also proved the presence of arsenic in the deceased's stomach and intestines, .which were given to him to analyse lby Mr. Taylor, who made the post mortem surgical j examination. The MAYOR, after the new evidence had been I heard, said the Bench were of opinion that the I three persons in custody—namely, Charles Hodg ison, druggist, of Shipley, at whose shop the arsenic Iwas supplied ; William Goddard, his assistant ; and Joseph Neal, confectioner, of Stone-street, Bradford, the manufacturer of the lozenges—must be committed for trial at the next Yorkshire assizes for manslaughter. The advocates of the pris oners applied to the I Court to accept bail. Bail was taken, Messrs. Hodgson and Neal being required to enter into recognisances in £2OO each, 'andl to find two suretie s of Lloo.each, and Goddard Ito enter into his own recognisances in £lOO, with `two sureties of £5O each. The number , of deaths which have occurred from having partaken of the poi§oned lozenges is 17, and 'there have been 196 cases of illness reported from the same cause, but these are not by any means ilaew Q h le _ num ber of persons that have suffered by ipartaking of the lozenges, 51b. of which, at the Ileast, are known to have been. sold. A public sub- Iscription has been opened in Bradford for the pur pose of aiding the surviving sufferers. Most of k t hem are among the working classes. i . .

The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation —can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by statingtheirage.
