A CLEVER AMATEUR 'DETECTIVE.—CharIes Murray and Francis iCartwright, two lads, both of whom have several times been convicted, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with attempting to pick pockets in Oxford street. Sherer, a young man, who has been the means of bringing several offenders to justice, said that seeing the prisoners iu Oxford-street, yesterday afternoon, acting in a ver y suspicious manner , he got the assistance of a con stable, and followed the prisoners till they came to the shop of Mr Duclos, confectioner, Oxford-street, where ho saw them force their way into a crowd of persons, and while Murray tried the pockets of a gentleman Cartwright covered him. As soon as the prisoners saw the constable they tried to get away, but the constable took one and be took the other. In answer to Mr. Tyr whitt, the witness said that lie knew Murray well , and had frequently seen him loitering a bout the Edgware - road on Sunda y nights and one night when he saw him there a lady complained of having been robbed, but before he could get a constable Murray got away. Cartwright put no questions to the witness, but con tented himself with abusing him. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners. TIIAMES. D ARIN G ROBBERY. - Wm. House, aged 17, was brought up on remand before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing 431bs. of copper and iron nails, the property of T. W. Forrest and Son, lifeboat builders, Limehouse. On Saturday morning, at 5 o'clock, a police-constable named Jesse Veuables, No. 106, Thames division, saw the prisoner sorting some old copper and iron (produced) on some ruins in Nightingale-lane, Limehouse. There were three others with him. All the gang ran away. Ho caught the prisoner and secured him. He asked him to whom the property belonged, to which he made no answer. Mr. James, clerk to the prosecutors, said the copper and iron nails produced were quite new. The copper was worth £2. Since Saturday last a large quantity of copper and iron nails were missing from boxes in the boat build ing yard. They were marked with the prosecutors' pri vate mark. Thieves could not get lute the yard from the street. They got in through Norway Wharf, Bridge street, Limehouse, at the back from a canal. The pri soner, in defence, said he picked up the nails. Mr. Benson had no doubt the prisoner stole the nails, and sentenced him to three mouths' imprisonment and hard labour. WESTMINSTER. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBRRY OF A FEMALE.Jamas Arnold, a young man, was placed at the bar charged with the following daring highway robbery of a female. Mrs. Elizabeth Anne Lamb, of 3, St. James -cottages Wellington-road, Fulham, said—At about five minutes past eleven on Sunday night I was in th e King's-road, Chelsea, and wanted a cab to go home. I had not sufficient silver to pay for one, and seeing a beer shop door open, I went in and asked the keeper of it to give me change of a sovereign, which she did. Prisoner was present, and saw me put the change in toy purse. and I found ho was following me. He cams up to me near Stanley-bridge, and told me if he had six pence, he would get a lodging that night, and should not walk all the way to Hounslow to sleep. At last to get rid of him I said I would give him threepence, and took out my purse to do so, when the prisoner suddenly seized me by the throat with one hand, and snatching the purse from my hand with the othe r, ran off. My purse con tained a sovereign, and the change of another sove reign. I cried " Murder," some men came and an inspector of police; and a shilling and some half-pence were found where he had snatched my purse from me. William Page, 101 S, said that from information re ceived he wont to Hounslow last night and took the pri soner into custody. He said the lady must have dropped the purse. Prisoner made no answer to the charge. a He was fully committed for trial. i CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT —phis Day THE ALLEGED ROBBERY 13Y A PARTNER.- NOVEL CH/13GB. Samuel Benjamin, a well-dressed man of middle age, surrendered to take his trial on the charge of stealing var ious sums of money belo n g in g to the firm of Benjamin and Cohen, of which he was a partner. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution ; Sergeant Sleigh and Mr. Besley for the de- fence. In his opening statement Mr. Metcalf , ' said this was a very peculiar case, the proceedings being instituted under a recent Act of Parliament, introduced by the learned judge who was trying the cam The prisoner and the prosecutor, Mr. Cohen, commenced partnership in Sep- tember, 1868, ;,Cohen was then in business as a woollen merchant, and he prepared a statement, showing £6OO worth of assets over liabilities. Against this and the prosecutor's connection Benjamin put £l,OOO into the business, the capital of which was nominally £2,000. Benjamin attended to the London business, and Cohen called upon :customers in the country, and received orders and money. In the beginning of December a large quantity of goods was ordered and arrived from Manchester, and the stock was then of the value of about £2,000. On the 7th December Cohen went into the country, and received a telegram from the prisoner, saying the business was going on all right; but between that date and the 12th of the same month, Benjamin sold off all the stock, with the exception of about £2OO worth, at a great sacrifice, and when Cohen returned he found the place shut up. rl , he trial was likely to occupy the whole of the day. NEW COURT. The Common Sergeant was occupied the whole of the day in hearing the indictment against Edward Hughes, oue of the accountants who stands charged with misap propriating a large hum of money, the property of the Boar d of Works. The case, it will be recollected, was heard very fully at Bow-street. It will not conclude to-day. 71113 NORWICH MURDER. --- High Sheriff has fixed Monday, the 19th of The at eight o'clock , for the ex.,cution of the April, culprit William Sheward, w h o was convicted of the murder of his wife 18 years ago. A rather extraor dinary incident is likely to come out of the affair upon w hi c h it is no t at all improbable that a writ of error will be applied for. It appears that the of fence being committed within the city of Norwich l a city jury was duly empanelled to try the case, but the trial actually took place at tho County Court, which is beyond the city jurisdiction ; and there appears to be considerablo doubt whether the prisoner was legally convicted. It is said that an application will be ma error he .A.ttorney-Genral for his fiat for a writ of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1869. —kill 'if •,n.k.:b ASO STOCIi:• Closing fintinell Pahl ' Price. dens. ,hare at Bristol and Exeter ...... 100 77 79 at Caledonian..... -......... 100 70 701 79 / 100 18 23 at Cambrian •• all 20 Cornwall-- ....... ... a ll 21 31 si Dublin &.

The following is given by a contemporary as an alfhentic anecdote of the late review at Dover. When the Ferret had, shortly after drifting against Dover Pier, become a complete wreck, si6nals were made from the shore to the Royal Sovereign, the flagship of the senior officer in command, informing him of the fact as well as of the sa fety of the crew, w ith the exception of one boy. Captain Hood at once telegraphed the information to the Admiralty in London• and received in reply orders from that body to friie the Royal Sovereign into Dover Harbour. Now, inasmuch as the entrance to the harbour is too narrow to admit the Royal Sovereign ; and as, until after the half tide, even the packet boats have often a difficulty in finding enough water to float them, the task was a difficult as well as a dangerous one to per form. Luckily, Captain Hood thought it best to act on his ownresponsibility. IMO EM`FION. NOTICh. The Third 'Edition of " The Sun" of last Evening; was published in for delivery in town at 7.15 p•m. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLoCK. IMPERIAL FARM A MEN 1 HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. HABITUAL CRIMINALS BILL. On the report of this bill being brought up, The Earl of KIMBERLEY said he had framed certain amen d men ts, which would, he hoped, meet the views of those who objected to the original enactments of the bill. On clause 10, Lord ROMILLY objected to the clause, as it made per sons under police supervision liable on mere suspicion to a year's imprisonment. He telt it actually necessary that some evidence should b o g iven that the min was guilty cf living by dishonest 'loans before be was sent to prison en the mere suspicion of the police. The Earl of KIMBERLEY said it was only persons who had becn previously convicted that became subject to the surveillance of the police. The object of the bill was to call upon susp ected p ersons to prove that they were getting their living honestly. Lord CAIRNS supported the clause. , The Marquis of SALISBURY also support the clause but suggested that the direct authority of the chief con stable to arrest suspected persons should be adduced in evidence. I I,F,FT SITTING.I HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tun EVENING. _ The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NATURALISATION LAWS. Mr. V. HARCOURT gave notice that on Friday next he would ask the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- 1 ment if the Government intended during the present \ session to introduce a measure founded upon the report recently presented by the Royal Commission app - inted to consider the neutrality laws and the laws affecting the naturalisation of foreigners. PROPOSED DISESTABLISH , ' ENT AND DISEN DOWMENT OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH IN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. Captain ARCHDALL (M.P. for Fermanagh county) gave notice that on the third reading of tho bill for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church, he should move that the bill be extended to the Esta blished Churches of England and Scotland. THE LATE ELECTION AT SHEFFIELD An extraordinary action, "Chapman v. Price," was com. menced at Leeds Assizes on Saturday, before Mr. Justice Hayes, which furnishes some interesting particulars con- cerning the candidature of Mr. Price, who contested Sheffield in the Conservative interest at the last election. Mr. Digby Seymour represented the plaintiff, and Mr. Overend, who has also been an unsuccessful Conservative candidate for Sheffield, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Chapman, the plaintiff, claims the payment of 330 guineas, unpaid balance of 550- guineas, which, he alleges, Mr. Price agreed to pay to him and his coadjutors for their valuable assistance in helping him to contest the borough. Mr. Price pleads in effect that he was deluded into the candidature by false representations, and TM the victim of fraud on the part of Mr. Chapman. At the trial it consequently became a great point on be half of the plaintiff to shew that the Conservative candi- date had every opportunity of judging for himself what his chances here were, that he did not lack candid friends, and that, if deceived, be had no one to blame but him self. To this end Mr. Chapman' seeks to show that Mr. Price was defeated because he departed from the line of policy laid down for him. He alleges that he kicked over the traces altogether. Brought down as a strong " No Popery " man, he threw up the defence of the Irish Church and gave in his adhesion to the Maynooth Grant; he was to have wooed the supporters of the Permissive Bill, and instead of that he courted the licensed victuallers and beersellers ; he shocked the religious public by making the postmen work all Sunday ; and, above all, on the vital ques- tion of trades unions, he went in for Broadheadism. It was to these things that the plaintiff attributed the defendant's defeat. A strong attempt was made by the learned judge to get the case referred, but Mr. Chapman insisted that the charges of fraud against him must be withdrawn. Defendant's counsel would not agree to this, so the case went on. The plaintiff's evidence-in-chief was not concluded when the court rose on Saturday. The case was resumed on Monday morning. A CANOE VOYAGE IN PALESTINE, -- Mr. Macgregor, the adventurous traveller in the Rob Roy canoe, has given, in the Times, some further accounts of his interesting expedition. He has visited that ancient river, the river Kishon, but, except for its scriptural interest, ho found it dull. Ile records a discovery of somo value to the student of natural history in the appearance of a crocodile, similar to these ho had seen on the Nilo years before. It has been stated by various travellers that the crocodile has been found in rivers of this coast, but as 3et no author appears to have seen a crocodile on the Kishon. 'laving transported the canoe to the riverßolus, where glass was first discovered by lighting a fire upon its sands, he paddled across the bay to St Jean d'Acre, and landed there, no doubt, the smallest craft that ever Came to that ancient fortress. As a complete contrast to the scenery of the rivers and lakes, the traveller relates what ho has seen under ground in Jerusalem. Four weeks spent in diligent work among the ruins convinced him that it would take months to investigate them properly ; but, for the benefit of now tourists, lie explains what can be seen in a single day. The dark promenade is commenced early in the morning, and the explorers find themselves amid a confused heap of arc h- s t on es which once spanned the rocky vale between Zion and the Temple. The Jerusalem we see to-day is not the real Jerusalem that is buried under 50 feet of wreck and confusion. Once down, the adventurers can scan, by a magnesium light, a subterranean city, the real city of Jeru salem. Numerous difficulties have to be overcome before an excavation can be made in Jerusalem, and Lieutenant Warren has to deal with many diffarent people. Few men have dared to follow him in the amphibious tour of the Jerusalem watercourses, but he has made some surprising discoveries. The worst of it is that these sights are only to be seen on the spot, it is quite impossible to bring home to England the uncovered rock of Mariab. "Rob Roy" does not here epitomize what has been explored above or below ground by the committee, but what can bo seen in a brief visit to the dark ix Heath. It is dis heartening to be told bat some of the most interesting sights are only temporary, as the approaches must he closed from want of funds to keep the shafts open and the wood lining properly renewed. It is hoped that the "Palestine Explora tion Fund" may receive , additional support, so that its work may bo prosecuted, evtn if it bo left to our posterity to com plete the task of disclosing the buried glories of Jerusalem. THE rERWFORMING BEAR -EXTRA WINARY SCENE. On Saturday last tho Brentford Bench of Magistrates were engaged for some time in investigating a charge against the two Frenchmen, Lo Trim Salim and Joseph Jerant, of creating an obstruction with a performing bear and dog, and also of assaulting and wilfully en dangering the life of a police officer in the execution of ... _ Lis duty. W hilbt the prisoners were under examination the bear was secured to the stout railings in front of the Town-hall, and carefully watched by four policemen. In the course of a low minutos, however, Master Bruin, after giving one or two tugs at his chain, showed signs of making a fight for liberty, and Jerant was . sent down by tho magistrates to quiet him. It appeared from the evi dence that the prisoners were found performing with the bear in the streets at Hounslow. A. constpble interfered, telling them the law did not allow them to obstruct the streets in the way they were doing. They pretended not to understand E❑glish, but moved on at a sign from the con stable. Shortly afterwards they were again found performing, and instead of moving on this time they assumed a threat ening aspect towards the officer. Jerant threw down the drum which he had been playing, and drew a large jack knife, which he floarished over the constable's head. The latter, however, procured assistance, and the prisoners were taken to the station, where a singular scene occurred. When they found that they were to be detained Jerant seized the heavy polo with which the bear performs and knocked ono of the constables down. He next gave a sign to the bear, and the animal, rising on its hind legs, struck a second constable to the ground. The offioers then resorted to their truncheons, as the prisoner Salim was attempting to unmnzzle the bear. When Jorant found him self effectually subdued he gave a sign which caused the bear to make its way up the staircase,and as it commenced a deter mined effort to snake its way into the rooms the female occu pants were so terrified that they throw open the front win dow and screamed for assistance. The policeman seized the pole used in the bear performance and made an attack upon him with little or no effect, but eventually suc ceeded in compelling one of the prisoners to control the brute, and it was ultimately locked up in the patrol's loose-box. During the night it tore down nearly all the fittings in the loose-box, and broke the scabbard and sword of one of the patrols. lt, however, quietly fol lowed the prisoners to the Town-hall at Brontford. The Chairman of the Bench, addressing the prisoners, said they had promised the police-magistrates in London that they would leave the country, but they had ot only not done so, but they were now found committing the very - offence with respect to which they had been cautioned. They exhibited their bear to tho danger of horses and alarm of women, and when they were told to desist acted with violence. They must now be taught that such things were not tolerated in this country, for they would go to the House of Correction for one mouth's hard labour. A difficulty arose as to what should be done with the bear during the incarceration of its owners, and on the suggestion of Superintendent Fisher it was resolved to make application for its reception into the Zoological Gardens. Sanction having, iu the course of the afternoon. been obtained from the authorities of the gardens, the next difficulty was how to convey the bear thither, for it would follow no one but the prisoners. Ultimately it was decided to pack them off in an omnibus, and after a great deal of trouble the trio were on their journey, followed for some distance by a m owd c f Before they arrived at Kew Bridge, how, ver, the bear smashed the window and made its way out of the omnibus, to the terror of the spec tators. The animal seemed to be more frolicsome than r-- thing else, and was soon captured, and led on foot to gardens. A correspondent, writing in the Birmingham Post, says that Mr. Lowo bee put on the screw at the Treasury as it has never been applied before, in order to get the figures and returns necessary for the Budget. The accounts aro made up to the Ist of April, and former Chancellors of the Exchequer have thought they used sufficient prompti tude in being ready with their Budget in the third week in April. Mr. Lowe, however, will make his financial statement within a wcok from the termhuttiou of thQ Mum _ vita yilx, THE SLIGO ELEJTION. Mr. SULLIVAN gave notice that on Friday he should move an address to her Majesty for a Royal Commission to inquire into corrupt practices at the last election for the borough of Sligo. INLAND POSTAGE. Mr. GRAVES rose and called the attention of the house to the rates of inland postage on printed matter. lie entered at length into the vu ions advantages that would result from the lowering of rates now levied by the Post-office, and concluded by moving, that in the opinion of the house it is expedient to reduce the rate to one halfpenny for two ounces, and that the postage on newspapers shouhl likewise be reduced to one halfpenny. Mr. MUNDELLA supported the motion. He said that the reduction was absolutely necessary, as by the present arrangement a circular could be posted from Palermo to 1 Aberdeen for a less cost than it could be from that house to the Strand. • The postage of circulars had become general in all parts of the world, and the lowest rate was taken iu eve ,. y place except England. The de livery of circulars had become so general that companies had been started for their delivery, the charge for distri buting 1,000 being but Bs. 6d., whilst the Post-office for performing the same service demanded LI Bs. 4d. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MACTIE also approved of the resolution, to will, h he hoped•the house would give its assent. He thought it would be g very beneficial arrangement if the post-office were to reduce the charge for postage circulars down to the rate of one farthing each.

Probably you have heard ere this that the city of Alamos is in ruins ; but as you may not have heard all the particulars, I will give you what I know. On the 15th of December it commenced to rain, and on the 16th a genuine wind and rain storm set in, lasting until the 18th. It seemed as if the very flood gates of heaven had opened, and that a second deluge was upon the world. The wind, too, roared with dreadful fury, and all the elements seemed combined for some dreadful carnage. We little saw what was in store for our beautiful city. But soon the tale was told and the destruction was complete. The storm lasted until late on the evening of the 18th. During its continuance it appeared as if no human being could live within its reach. The Alamos river was swollen to a great height, and, in its wild, headlong course carried everything before it. liouses.were swept away like so many straws, and whole blocks of buildings were thrown down like so many rotten trees. The wind was no less terrible than the water. Houses were unroofed and blown to shatters ; tiles and like material were scattered through the air like chaff ; and strong trees were uprooted as if they had been cornstalks. The best part of the city is totally destroyed. About the only buildings saved worthy of mention are the Mint, the church, and the old state college. These stood on high grounds, and this advantage, with their solidity, saved them. Dr. Hill, an American resident, had three houses carried away, and is a loser to the amount of about $lO,OOO. T. Robinson Burns, an American, doing a banking business here, had his banking-house swept away. Others have suffered severely. The loss of life had been quite large. Sixty dead bodies have been picked up ; some of them were mangled fearfully, and could scarcely be recognised. Many of the bodies were found miles down the river. Undoubtedly the number will be largely increased by other un fortunate ones. I had written these few lines hurriedly, but do not attempt to describe or explain the most extraordinary:phenomena of a two hours' severe whirlwind and deluge. The ruined city of Alamos was the Athens of North-western Mexico, or, at least, had that reputation. At the tune of its destruction it contained a population of about 7,000 Bolds. he MARICE 7 S = -7 lIIS D.l Y. LIVERPOOL COTTON 3. uiet ; IARKET. April G.—Sales pro babl y 8,000 b a les.
