RITAL HA . REFUGE, We invite attention to an elaborate and argumentative article, which we have tram ferred to our columns, from those of the Northern Ensign, in favour of the claim s o f Wick harbour, to be made a harbour of refuge in preference to that of Peterhead. The question is not one of purely local importance ; it is ose of great national moment, and one, therefore, to which public journalists in all parts of the country ought to devote their attention and their space. The necessity for this attention is the greater, as there is always much danger that local influence may be allowed to decide a question that ought to be resolved solely by other influences, and with a due regard to interests of a national kind. It should always be remembered that this subject, apart from its bearing on the welfare of our coast navigation and the prosperity of our fisheries, presents a very strong temptation to the landlords and the general inhabitants of particular localities; and, perhaps, looking at their natural desire to do the best for their property, we ought not to blame them for making the best fight they can for the spots in which they are interested. But the Legislature, having witnessed the efforts of the rivals on each side, would be destitute of any apology if by indif ference or undue regard to the political weight of any honourable member, it allowed an unjust and unwise measure to be carried. The claims in this case, of the two places con tending for the same advantage, may soon have to be decided, and there is some danger of a piece of jobbery which may result from the very great exer Lions made in favour of one of them, and that in many respects decidedly the most unsuitable. It is better that the subject should just now be venti lated and discus Fed as fully as is requisite in order to arrive at a wise and just decision. We feel as sured that when the subject is regarded from an independent stand-point there can be no doubt that Wick is the spot that ought to be selected, what ever may be the local influence employed to earwig the Government in favour of Peterhead. The natural features of the coast in which these rival ports are situated ought to be considered in the very first view taken of the contest. Admitting that in other respects the places were equal in their claims, it should be ascertained where the greatest amount of danger exists ; in other words, the greeteet need for a harbour of refuge exists. Now it should be observed that from Helmsdale to Noss Head, a d stance of 40 miles, there is not the breadth of a f;ot of sand, except at the river Wick, or any thing like a roadstead, but, as it has been correctly stated, one long, dismal, precipitou s cliff, towering in threatti ng grandeur, relieved only by an occa sional nook, where hundreds of boats press on each other in dangerous masses. Take then the Peter- head coast, and there we rind, with the exception of a few miles from Aberdeen to Kinrrtird Head, a distance of 40 miles, one unbroken sheet of sand and three excellent roadsteads, where thousands of vessels can lie in safety, without a single precipitous cliff against which they may dash. If the Govern ment, therefore, were to yield to local influence in favour of Peterhead, and incur the expense of forming it into a harbour of refuge, it would, if the dangerous coast further north is not to be abandoned to wrecks, be found necessary to form another harbour at Wick. We believe that the melancholy wrecks among the fishermen at Wick are sufficiently known by every one to prove that Wick imperatively demands a harbour of refuge, not for a few fishermen con stantly residing there, but for the thousands who assemble annually at its bhy from all parts of the coast of Scotland. The great importance of Wick in this respect has been very clearly shown in the excellent letter of Mr. John Mackie to Mr. James Wilson, the Chairman of the House of Com mons Harbours and Refu , o e Committee. The writer shows that 9,000 men, most of them unconnected with Caithness, fur ten months in the year assemble at Wick. They follow a calling which yields a valu able article of national diet, and which gives em ployment to many thousands throughout the king dom in producing the material required for its pro secution, and which circulates a large sum of money over the whole industrial districts of the country. The men are nightly exposed to the perils of the northern coast, and liable to destruction from the northern storms. These 9,000 men man boats and cast nets into the sea of an aggregate value of nearly a quarter of a million sterling, and proceed night' after night a distanee of from two to thirty miles, and even farther, in pursuit of their perilous enter prise, and that without a harbour that is safe to enter at any time during the storms to which the coast is liable. Now, we think these 9,000 lives are worth some consideration on the part of the House of Commons. If it should again be said that these are all persons intrested in the locality, and that their lives are not specially worthy of consi deration in determining on a harbour of refuge, we think it enough to refer to the fact that a very small proportion belong to Wick. These men are attracted to these valuable fiabing-grounds from all parts of Scotland, while the calling they follow off Wick gives employment to fish-curers residing in Liverpool, Cork, Belfast, and other distant places. No local influence ought to be allowed to operate to the disparagement and neglect of this large clans, whether we speak on the score of commercial in dustry or humanity. It is heart-rending to hear of the calamities of which Wick is the constant acene, and against which a valuable provision would be made if a harbour of refuge were provided. There are other important considerations connected with this question to which it will be necessary for us to advert on an early day. —Morning Ad vertiser. PRIVATE LETTER FROM LYDIA. - The following letter from a private soldier at the seat of war in Oude, will be read with interest, as furnishing some particulars respecting the state of affairs in India which have not before appeared. It is addressed to the brother of the writer : " PooNA, Jan. 27, 1858. " There is an extra mail leaving to-day, of which I must take advantage. We, or rather people with whom I am acquainted, are now daily receiving letters from the 78th Highlanders (the depot is still in Poona), and they and the 64th well deserve every eulogiurn that has been passed upon them. When history records their advance from Cawnpore to Lucknow, their almost superhuman efforts un der the most trying circumstances, surrounded by demons who outnumbered them by twenty to one, and who, like the wild beasts when their fangs have once been imbued in blood, were mad with the orgies which they had witnessed and partici pated in in the diabolical outrages at Cawnpore, Delhi, and other places, the 25th of September is a day which will never be forgotten, either by those who were relieved, or that noble band of heroes who fought their way through countless numbers to the relief of their besieged brethren whose hours were numbered, but for theiropportune arrival. A few hours later and every Christian soul in Luck now would have been at the mercy of the fiends who had previously plied their devilish work at Cawn pore and Delhi. What a mercy that they had a manlike Havelock to rescue them • and he u n d er his comma n d M OD, every one of whom deserve to have their names engraved in letters of gold. The time is now arriving when such deeds as these must • not be passed over as heretofore with six months' batta. What must be a man's feelings, as glow ingly described in one l e tt er I heard read from a soldier of the 78th to his sister in Poona—a bridge had to be crossed before entering Lucknow, of Which the rebels had possession, and the only ap proach to which was a narrow road, down which the enemy kept up a continual shower ofgrape and canister." We got a gun in position to return the fire, but another fatal discharge from the enemy laid every gunner low. Again the gun was manned volunteers ; but the same fate awaited them, ' , ten brave young Havelock rode to the front, and rim). amid a sh ower of i ron, smilingly told the rives 78th those guns must be yours.

Now, let a generous Government comply with his dying request. What recompense for such unequal heroism is a thousand pounds a year, even had he lived ? Fifty thousand pounds would have been a poor recompense had he lived. Again I say he would have been amply recompensed by naming his brave comrades, the 78th, as suoh—" Her Majesty's 78th Highlanders," or "Sir Henry Havelock's Lucknow Regiment." It will be pay ing a noble and lasting tribute to his memory, and a title of which every man left in the regiment will be proud . Not one but would feel proud of the association ; and some meed of recompense is due to men who have perilled their all and done the State so very great a service. LORD GREY ON REFORM. (Prom the Times.) Lord Grey's volume is a work not on Parliamen tary government, but on Ministerial patronage, and its title ought to be " A Defence of Nepotism ; the result of more than 30 years' experience." Per haps we ought not to be altogether surprised to find the Eon of the Minister who carried the Reform Bill expressing unworthy fear of the democratic movement of these times, and a desire to perpetuate all the worst abuses of oligarchical government. If his father effected a great reform in our Parliamen tary representation, it was less from popular sym pathy than from the necessities of political tactics. Earl Grey had a self-absorbed nature, and was essentially an aristocrat ; it is curious to watch in his history how exclusive he was in his tastes and how strong in self-assertion, so that purely on the ground of postponing Catholic Emancipation, the ground on which, in conjunction with Lord Gran ville, he stranded the Cabinet of All the Talents, the ground therefore to which his pride was pecu liarly sensitive, he continually refused to join that Liverpool Administration with which at heart he had far more sympathy than with the opposition of Radical Reformers ; so that again, in 1827, he was the only member of his party who obstinately re fused to co desce with Canning, holding himself aloof in seliiery dignity ;so that—to give one more example—when he passed the Reform Bill, and was reproached by Lord Sidmouth for introducing into the State the virus of democracy and the elements of revolution, his reply was not a defence of popular government, but an emphatic s t a t emen t that in afew years this Reform Bill would be re garded as one of the most aristocratic measures which had ever been enacted. It was, indeed, by the strangest caprice of f or t une that he, who was in feeling the most pure aristocrat of his order, should have been the author of a measure so democratic ' • and there is much truth i n w h at t h e Tories are fond of declaring, as if they were let ting out for the benefit of the profane multitude a great secret which none but those who are behind the scenes of Ministerial display caa know, that the essence of the Reform Bill —that which recommended it to the Whigs and secure.] for it a triumph, was not the extension of the franchise and the purity of election, but simply the transfer of power by &shuffling of the schedules from the hands of one set of neblemen to those of another. As if to give the fullest sanction to that view of the case, Earl Grey, the son, now comes forward, and having singularly reproduced his father's history in giving full play to his individuality by habitually separat ing himself from his party, at length ventures to furbish up the Tory argum,nts against the Ref. , rm Bill, to repudiate thatmeasure in so far as it tended to popularize the Government, and to approve it only so far as it recognized the principle that the aristocracy are our sole legislators. The Earl Grey nature is such a self-satisfied one that', even if the arguments were stronger than they are, it would not be difficult to perceive that in his heart of hearts the strongest argument of all for an aristocracy is, that he himself belongs to it. There are men ab solutely incapable of taking the measure of them selves; who believe whatever belongs to themselves to be superlative of its kind ; who, if they were lamplighters, would carry their ladders from post to post as if they were the horses of the swn, and were doing for the night what that luminary does for the day ; who, if they were the bootmakers of a Pi ime Minister, would not only rejoice in any of his victories, but would actually regard the victory as their own, the Premier having merely contri buted to it. If Lord Grey were born in a rank of life in which the right of franchise was denied him, he would be a fierce Chartist ; if he belonged to the middle classes he would be a thorough-going Li beral, not fond of revolution, yet admiring oligarchy still less ; but being a P eer o f E ng l an d , t h e P eerage is everything, he has no sympathy beyond the charmed circle of his Order, and especially he fears that power which would limit its pretensions and curtail its privileges. He has an unconquerable terror of democracy ; he trembles at the tyranny of the House of Commons, a tyranny which he thinks is increasing so fast that it must soon become dis astrous as well as intolerable. The keynote of Lord Grey's book is a demand for strong government, such government as is impos sible in the United States, but is in full vigour at St. Petersburg and Paris. What is the peculiar meaning to be attached to the noble author's de mand we shall immediately examine. In the mean time we must observe that seldom is more political ignorance displayed than in the common talk as to the necessity for strong government. A Ministry on sufferance is, indeed, a political scandal as well as a public calamity, and, when we speak of the fallacies which are current as to the importance of so-called strength in government, we must not be suppossd to rush into the other extreme of main taining that the interests of the nation can be pro tected by a Ministry so unsupported as to have no strength at all. But all experience, and especially that of the last half century, teaches us that what are called strong Governments mean bad Govern ments ; that strong government is not for a free people ; that where laws are vile and habits corrupt and subjcots ignorant there the high hand and the strong arm may be.needed ; but that where abuses are not tolerated, where laws are merciful and few, where the inhabitants are intelligent and free, there the Government which is wanted is one that—. whether we call it strong or weak—will abstain from meddling as much as possible. There is a remarkable statement ou this head in one of the works of the elder Mirabeau --"Le difOcile est de ne promulguer que des lois necessairee, de reste r it jamais liHele it ca principe vraiment constitutionuel de la societe, de se mettre en garde contre la fureur de gouverner, la plus funeste maladie des Gouver nernens modernes "—a quotation which William von Humboldt has adopted as the motto to his little work on the Sphere and Duties of Government. If we take a large survey of the various measures that have been passed, it will be found that nearly all the more important ones, nearly all that we can look back upon with uumingled satisfac tion, have been not positive but negative in their character. They have not been the enactment of new laws so much as the abolition of old. We have exploded innumer able oaths and tests and shibboleths ; we have broken down barriers without mercy. In criminal law we have been diminishing punishments; in civil law we have been simplifying procedure. We have increased our revenue by reducing taxes ; we hare multiplied our wealth by throwing all protec tion of our industry to the winds ; we have emanci pated our slaves, and we have not only sought to insure in our domestic affairs the last amount of interference with the perfect liberty of the subject, but also in foreign affairs we have in the fullest sense recognized the principle of non-inter vention. These are political maxims embodied in all our recent legislation and admitted in allour discussions. What do they mean in relation to the Government ? If they mean anything, they mean that a wise abstinence ought to be the first aim of legislation ; that a Government ought to watch everything, but if possible to touch nothing ; that what it ought chiefly to touch are the old laws which ought to be removed ; that restrictions are bad for the most part and regulations useless ; and that the best governed nation is that which is left most to itself. What is this but saying that a free people has dis covered that "strong Governments," so far from being necessary, are a plague and a scourge to a nation ? We want to have our public departments well administered, but as forlegialation and govern ment, we want to be left to ourselves. The "strong Government," which Lord Grey insists upon, there fore, we would rather not have, and, differing from him with regard to-the fundamental axiom of his volume, the whole superstructu.e which he his raised upon it naturally dissolves itself into thin air. One can scarcely believe that Lord Grey is serious in talking as he does of "strong Governments." ik.issan idea that is almost exploded in England. leave it to continental despots and continental theorists, 0 . _ The former find it convenient for the ceu l aig_ t in f e. their o o s :Lan u t t h e o p r i i s t s y , ; th t e he r l e a s t u te lt r o d f el e ig n h d t .

US tiukto4ials LAW' INTELLIGENCE.— 11farch 11, COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lorde Justices.) APPEAL.—TANSITTART V. VAIISITTART. The further hearing of this part-heard appeal cause was resumed this morning. The contest between the parties in this suit was the validity of enforcing in a court of equity the specific performance of an agreement for separation, entered into by the husband and wife, whereby for a valuable consideration to be paid by the husband to the wife, it was agreed to abandon an action of divorce in the ecclesiastical court—to live in a state of separation, a separate maintenance to be paid to the wife and children, and provision made for the custody and education of the children--and a reference to arbi tration of all matters in oiff,rence between thorn. The plaintiff, by her bill, claimed specific performance of the agreement, and the eustotly, maintenance, and education of her ehillren. The defendant demurred to the equity of the plain tiff's bill lice• Chancellor Sir Win. Page Wood allowed the demurrer and dismissed the plaintiff's bill. The plaintiff appealed against this decision. The hearing of counsel having been concluded, their Lordships now delivered judgment. Their Lordships were unanimously of opinion that they could not enforce specific performance of this agreement, on the ground that it was against the parental authority of the husband in the education and custody of his children. Their Lordships allowed the demurrer and dismissed the appeal with costs. ro MCA fl vt 4 llll*lN EIVNI NO, MARCH ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTH WALES CIRO UIT—WILSEIPOOL, MARC?! 11. WILLIAMS V. COLLEY—BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. The plaintiff, Margaret Williams, sought to re cover 2001. damages for an alleged breach of pro mise to marry her. Defendant pleaded the general issues, and that if he did promise it was while he was intoxicated. Mr. V. Williams for plaintiff, Mr. M'lntyre for the defendant. The plaintiff, about 22, was the daughter of a small farmer, near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, and the defendant, whose age was about 45, was also the son of a farmer who formerly lived at the Weeg, Newtown. Although the defendant was, according to his own account, a man in independent circumstances, and the plaintiff, because her father was dead and there was a large family, was obliged to go to service, still they were in a similar position in life. 1n 1855 the plaintiff lived as servant at Mr. Harmer's, the Weeg. The defendant lived with his mother, near the Weeg, but had other means of getting money. Having seen the plain tiff, and being pleased with her good looks he courted her, and matters had so far progressed in Sept. that the dresses and ring, and the license, were procured, and the wedding arranged to take place in the early part of October. The happy morn arrived, and the wedding guests were assembled. Making an excuse the bridegroom left the house, and his absence being longer than it was thought right, one of the guests went out to look for him, wizen he was seen scampering over a hilt in the dis tance as fast as he could go, dressed in his best as he waa. Hysterics followed, and the enhappy young girl becam e ver y ill. Ul t i mate l y s h e recovere d, an a became acquainted with a no th er l over , by whom she had a child. However, the old lover returned, and plain . iff and defendant renewed their former intimacy. Marriage was again proposed, and it was arranged that the we lding ho ukl lake place at New town. This was in October last, and the def ndant came to Newtown, where he procurei another ring and a license ; and to make matters more c rtai , i, he went early to a cAtage ofa friend near the church as he did not wish to excite observation, not being dressed in his best clothk:s. It was now thought the connubial knot would be tied without fail The wedding guests were again a-sembled, the betrothed were waiting anxiously the hour of nine, but the defendant was evidently restless ; lie went in and out of the house nervously. At length he fairly bolted from out the cottage garden, and was gone "never to return." After this flight, and seeing no chance of a marriage, an action was commenced. Mr. M'lntyre contended there was no evidence of promise having been given. This, however, was overruled by the judge ; and after hearing the speeches of the counsel, the jury returned a verdict for plaintiff—damages 151. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March, 11 MANSION-HOUSE.—A man, who did not give his name, but who icoked like a respectable me chanic in the iron trade, presented himself in a ra ther excited state, before Alderman Hale, to cocn plai❑ of a grievance. He said be went to Ostend on Monday morning in a Belgian steamer, having a situation to go to there at 2/. 12s. 6cl. a week ; but directly lie landed he was asked for his passport, and as he had not got one, he was at once marched off to gaol, while his little bundle, containing three shirts, some stockings, about half au ounce of tea, and a quarter of a pound of sugar, was overhauled four or five times. He was kept in prison till the vessel sailed again, and then marched on board like a felon, and was that the treatment which ought to be extended to a British subject he should like to know ? Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—What do you come here for ? This is a police court. Applicant—Come here for ? Why, I think it is my duty, as a British subject, to make my treat ment known to the Lord Mayor. Alderman Hale—l very much regret the incon venience [you have been put to ; but it seems to me that you brought it all on yourself by going there, in violation of their laws, without a pa s port. - Applicant-4 did not wish to violate their but I consulted a friend, and he told me I should not want a passport, as I was going no further from Ostend. Alderman Hale—We have nothing to do with it here. If you have any complaint to make, you had better go the Foreign-office. Applicant—l think it shameful that a British subject should be so treated. I was offered the means of supporting myself and family, and pawned one of my coats to enable me to go there, but they kept m e i n gao l f rom the moment I landed till they put we on board the steamer again • and I say here wh a t I cou ld not say there—that they kept me in such a state I could not sleep. I consider that I have been cruelly treated. Tbe applicant then quitted the court in a state of gfeat excitement. GUILDHA.LL.—George Thompson, a corn mer chant, described as of 16, Chichester place, Gray's inn -road, 6, BArnshury-street, 4, Albion-grove, Islington, and 9, Kingsmead-terrace, Bath, was brought up on a warrant before Alderman Cope land and Sir George Carroll, charged with nnn-sur• render to his bankruptcy after due notice of adjudi c ttion had been served at his last known place of abode. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Scott from the office of Mr. Smith, of Tokenhouse-yard, attended for. the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the bankrupt. Mr. Collins, managing clerk to Mr. Harnber,-at tached to Mr. Commissioner Goulburn's court, pro duced the proceedings in bankruptcy, containing the petition for adjudication, the adjudication by M. Commissioner Goulburn, the day limited for his surrender, and a memorandum that he did not surrender on the 21st of September last, notwith standing he had been proclaimed at twelve o'clock and at three o'clock on that day. I John Dowler, assistant messenger to Mr. Ham ber, said . be served a notice of adjudication in bank ruptcy on the 28th July last, by sticking up a copy over the mantel-piece in the front parlour of the bankrupt's residence, at 4, Albion grove, Barns bury. Witness stayed in possession, but -did not see the bankrupt there. He served the summons to surrender on the 17th August in a similar man ner. He did not leave any notice at any of the places of business. Joseph Huggett, a detective officer, said he ap prehended the prisoner on a warrant in the corn market at Bath, where he was passing under the name of Lewis Grant. On seeing Mr. Walker, who accompanied witness, the bankrupt said he was very glad they had found him. On searching pris, soner, witness found one 1001. note, one N. note, and 61. in gold, and at his lodgings, 9, Kingsmead terrace, Batb, several account books, a cash-box containing a gold watch and chain, and a gold pen cil-case ; and at the New Quay Granary a large quantity of new sacks and a stock of dill-rent kinds of corn, forming part of the bankrupt's estate.

The pony appear e i very weak, and was certainly not in a fit ktate to work. , The Fath er of the boy said the pony was well w fed, but h e • as old, and all the victu a ls it could have would not make the pony look any better.

That was the prisoner's private residence. Mr. Grant, the prisoner's stepson, said the last time the bankrupt slept at 4, Albion-grove,was in July last. Mr, Sleigh said that was the whole of the case for the prosecution, but he thought it was right to in form his friend, Mr. Lewis, that he should probably prefer a❑ indictineut against the prisoner at the Old Ba ley, for obtaining g.pode within 3 months of his bankruptcy, under false pretences, and with intent to cheat and defraud his creditom The prisoner was then committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court. MARYLE BO NE. -- EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK IN A TELEGRAPH OFFICE. —IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC. —A young man named Ch ar l es J ames Davis, a clerk in the office of the London Elec tric and International Telegraph Company, at their office at the railway statical of the London and North-Western Railway, Euston-square, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having embezzled 58, re ce i ve d by im for and on account of his employers. Mr. John Lawton, woollen manufacturer, Staley bridge, Staffordshire, deposed that on the 2d inst. he arrived in London by the train, and that he paid the prisoner ss. for the transmission of a message to his home ; he subsequently ascertained that his message had not been sent. Mr. Turner, a clerk in the office, proved that he had not received the 'money from the prisoner, whose duty it was to hand it to him. The prisoner had been absent from his post two days. Hull, 168 S, said that on the previous night he took the prisoner into custody at 10, John-street, Bermondsey, and that when told what he was charged with, ha said he certainly did receive the money and gave a receipt for it. He felt sleepy and forgot to send the message, and when he awoke he tore up the the paper to light the gas with. The prioner was committed for trial. He was bailed for his being forthcoming at the sessions. W O RSHIP-STR EET.—EXTAORDINA.RY RAIL WAY ROBBERY.—Thomas Jones, 23 years of age, describ,Al at a hawker, but well known to the police as a swell mobsman, was charged before Mr. Hawniill with stealing a valuable gold watch fit m the person of Mr. James Slie, a clerk in her Ma jesty's Customs, and residing in the Queen's -road, St. John's Wood. Prosecutor said—On the evening, of the 18th of September last I was a passenger by the North London train from Fenchurch-street t) Camden Town. When I first entered the carriage and took a seat by the door a young girl sat opposite me, but the prisoner immediately following me she resigned that position, and th e remova l brought him im mediately opposite to me. As the journey pro gressed his manner excited my attention, for I con sidered him intoxicated. He was ex , remely restless, frequently rose and looked out of the window, re seated himself, and repeatedly kicked my shins. rTohuenlcaistm tyimneetckhi occurred I turned and faced hi m , : right hand upon which h e seized the gold chain suspended theiu but my Watch f,ll, had disappeared. übltuat a o n pe , n e a d nd t the door out t; the t he carriage with his chain broke in two pl aces, a portion remaining with me, I I distinctly saw simultaneou s , obbaetryalatnhdoutglihe several escape were per so nearly s i ni- sons Were in the same compartment, all were ap parently so astonished as to render them motionless. rho train Was at full speed at the time, and the spot selected for this daring act I believe to be near the canal bridge of Sir Geirge Docket's canal, be tween new and Hackney-wick. Mr. Haminiil—Weve y._ u any doubt that the prisoner is the man who robbed you ? Prosecutor—.l have some, from now observing that the prisoner's whiskers are more scant than they then were, but in every other res,iect he is exceedingly like ; even the coat he wears I believe to be the same he then had on. His right arm was continuslly resting on the window ledge, and 1 par ticularly remarked the lining of the sleeve. Sergeant Francis, of the N division, deposed— About half-past eight o'clock on the evening of Friday, th 18th of September, I was at Hackney Railway station, and was informed by Mr. Sli e o f this robbery, and a description of the thief. I in stantly suspected the prisoner, and proceeded along the line of railway towards Bow. Three men whom I met and questioned stated that they had seen a man without a hat a short time previous, and they believed him to be an escaped lunatic. On the following morning, while searching, I discovered traces of some person having crossed among the weeds of the canal referred to, and I also found a quantityand, a of' bloodsl think, ihafi adjacent field nearte the spotVictoriaPark station,where the robbery was effected. Three or four days after wards I ascertained that the prisoner was ire Rollo ' way Prison, under sentence by the Lord Mayor for larceny from the person, and his sentence expiring this day, I instructed Burr, 426 N, being on sick leave myself, to take him into custody on this charge. On examination of the prisoner's trousers, I found a cut and corresponding scar on one of his legs. The watch has not been recovered. On a future day I shall be prepared with further evider. ce. The prisoner, who denied the charge, and cross examined the witnesses with a view to shake their testimony of his identity, was then ordered to be brought up again this day week. SOUTHWARK. -SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A F MALE. -THE SOCIALFLVIL,-.~~~illiam Knight, a 1-.zy looking fellow, who stated himself to be a waterman, was brought up, charged with commit ting a brutal assault on Lucy ilanaburn. The complainant, a poor miserable-looking young woman, w h o exhibited several bruises on the head and face, said she had lived with the prisoner about two years and a half. On the previous night when he came home, because she had no money to give him, ho struck her and k nocked her down. As s h e was getting up he seized a padlock and struck her on the face with it. She ran out of the house callmg out "Murder," and meeting a police constable, they returned to the house and she gave the prisoner into custody, , The Magistrate asked her whether he ill-used her befo , e ? She replied that he was frequently in the habit of ill-using her because she could not supply him with money, but she never complained to a magi strate before. His worship asked her now he o':tained his livli hood ? She answered that seldom did any work. he w as a Waterman, but he irate inquired whether she followed an T y h e e mp in l a o She replied th she did not. Unfortunately she was compelled to walk the sileets when th e p r i soner did not work to get food and p ay their lodgings. The magistrate was surpris e d at a young woman g y i n s , ent ? living with such an idle fellow, and actually assist ing him by her proAitution. He asked how old she was ? She said that she was 20, and had no friends in London. When she first lived with the prisoner he was kind to her, and supported her. In answer to the charge the prisoner admitted having struck her, but she aggravated him very much. The magistrate told him he was a cowardly, idle persons of suc h a savage nature as by the la w t o k eep th e ir passions b v e ag m ab u o s n t d b , e a t u a d ugh t under control. He must be committed to the House of Correction for two months with hard labour. 12, 18581 he would find a situation for my husband. He al so said he would find him clothing, and then he asked if we had got a carpet-bag. I told him we had not, and he then asked if we had a box. I pointed to my husband's clothes-box, hut he said it was too large, arid that he would get a bag. About nalf-anshour after B rnard had left my husband came home. I showed him the halt sovereign, and told him what bad happened Bernard came again the same week, in the night tune, as usual. The bell rung twice, and my husband went down stairs. I saw it was Bernard from the window. On the Friday, as my husband left London on the Saturday, the prisoner came ; my husband was out. I saw him c ,me up into the room. He gave me half-a-sovereign to get my husband's cloches out of pawn. I did as he directed, and when I returned I found that my husband bad re turned and the prisoner bad lert. In about an hour after I returned fromthe pawnbroker'sthe prisoner called again, and on coming into the room be said to my husband, " Now, yen go away in the morning." They spoke in French. I understand Italian, but not French. The prisoner wrote several notes, but I caa't say what they were about. He gave me his address, and told me t o go to the Cafe Suisse, in Tichbourne-street, when I wanted anything., My husband went out, and re turned with a carpet-bag. Be.ore the prisoner came, 1 know my husband had ❑o money, but after he left I sa•w semis French money laying on the table. It looked like one of our half sovereigns and a crown. He said I was to have 12s a week during my husband's absence. It was to be sent every Monday. My husband left London in the morning. The prisoner never came again. My husband took his passport with him. Bernard said he had been all over London one day, but could nit get it. He, however, brought it the fellowing day. I recollect the name of Da Silva being mentioned. I did not know where my husband was going, but I thought it wa • Paris, and that he was going to some house there, numbered 277. I heard M. Bernard say when be got there he would find somebody he knew. Prisoner said this in Italian. On the Tuesday, as my husband left on the Friday, I went to the Cafe Suisse to a certain the reason the 12s. had not arrived. I did not see the prisoner there, but the following evening he °eine to our lodging. lie said he was very sorry be could n come before as he had business to attend to. He gave me the sum of twelve shillings and said I must have plenty to eat and plenty of warmth, and then he bade me good night. On one occasion, when he called on me, he said he hoped I was quite Weil, that ray husband was so, and that he would soon return, and we should no longer want fur anything. On the tallow ing Monday he called and gave me a sovereign, and told me to go to my grandmother at Nottingham. He asked if there was a trai❑ left for that place during that day. I told him no ; and he then said I mu t go tee next morning, and if any body asked where I was going, I was to say I was going to Godalming, in Surrey. He said that he would send my weekly money by Post-office order, but that he sh uld not use my marriage name, Ruda*. He asked me my maiden name, and I told him it was Booth, and be said be would send the money in that name He also told me if I saw any hing in the newspapers about my husband that 1 was to take no notice of it. I asked for what reason my husband's name should ap pear in the newspapers. He made no answer to that question, but told me to tell everybody who spoke to me about it tLat I knew the character of my husband very well. I never saw the prisoner after I left London for Nottingham. I received one letter from my husband. I don't know what became of it. I believe the papers found at my lodgings are in the possession of Mr. Smith, the officer. lie fetched me fr-in Nottiughaus. I went by my own name of Rudio in Nottingham. Mr. Sleigh—l was found in Nottingham by Sergeant Smith. I am new lodging at an hotel in the Strand. I don't pay for it. I w. ■ taken to Paris a few weeks ago. I was tul I I should be asked to be a witness in this c ate, when I was in Nottingham. I have been to Paris to see my husband. I have not told him lt.a was to have a pardon if I told all I knew. Without any intimation from me my husband told tee to tell all I knew. I have hope that my sus• band will be pardoned I have not been told that he will be pardoned by any person in auteority. I speak Italian. I know the words for 277 in the Italia❑ language. I Dever told Bei eard to send the money to me at Nottingham i❑ my maiden name. He said he would do so. Harriet Fay--I lodged in the same house as Rudio did, in Bateinan'e-buildings. The prisoner Bernard once came into my room by mistake. I have seen him on other occasions. I have seen Rudio with money immediately after Bernard left his room. Rudio and his wife were completely destitute. After Bernard cause on one occasion Rudio paid me very small sums I tad lent him. Tney were in great distress. Rudio went about for weeks with only his trousers and thin coat on, looking for employment. I never knew persons in greater want. I saw some paper lying on tke table, it had the words " Paris," "Da Silva," written on it. I asked Rudio why he was going to Birmingham and Leicester on his way to Paris, and he said he was going out as a travelling correspondent. Rudio's wife received one letter from him alter his departure. As she could not real she brought it to me. Mr. Bodkin to Sergeant Smith--You took possession of Radio's papers—where is the letter ? Sergeant Smith—l have not got the letter. Mr. Be skin—Was it not amongst toe papers you took possession of ? Mr. Bodkin (addressing the magistrate)—That, sir, is all the evidence I shall be able to lay before you to-day. I had hoped that I should hare been able to bring this case to a conclusion to-day, but I find that one of our witnesses has left London, but that be will return by Saturday. I therefore have to ask you to remand the prisoner till that day, when in about two hours I steel' he able to bring this case to a conclusion. Mr. Jardine—Sa urday will be a very inconvenient day. I OEOI not be sit ing. Wby not say Monday. Mr. Sleigh—l have very impot taut busi❑ess to attend to en that day. Mr. Jardine--Then let it be Saturday, at 3 o'clock. Mr. Bodkin—ln opening this case, I remarked that though the prisoner was oniy charged with the misde meanour, I was unable at that moment to say what the precise course I should adopt would be. I have now, sir, to inform you that, noon the completion of the evidence, I shall call upon you to commit the prisoner for trial, as an accessory before the feet to murder, and on Saturday I shall state my reasons why I sail upon you to take this course. Mr. Sleigh—l cannot but say that the announcement made by the counsel for the Treasury has taken me entirely by surprise. The Government have proceeded with this investigation up to the eleventh hour as a misdemeanour, and I cannot but say that that course has been adep-ed with a view of superseding the difficulty of keeping this man in custody on such a charge. It was very well known that at the end e f this investigation, that I intended to make an appli cation for the admiesioo of my client to bail, and that security of the highest respectability was ready to any amount, and I - cannot help thinking there is some poli tical reason for the course teat is now to be adop•ed, and I have ❑o hesitatt,n in saying that I regard it as a temporising on the part of the Government of this country to the foreign policy of anot•.er country. (Loud applause followed Maid declaration of the learned gentle mat::) Mr Jardine (rising from his chair, and with much apparent warnitn) -aid it was the lAs• time such a scene should take place in tnis court. Oil S v ariay I will make it a closed c.airt, No one will be admitted. Mr. Bodkin—l don't think that the public are as much to blame as my learned friend is, for his absuri and popular allusions to topics that have nothing at all to do with the subject. The prisoner was then removed from the court, and the proceedings, which, towards the close, had become very exciting, were adjourned till three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE FRENCH EMPEROR. FURTHER EXAMINATION OF M. BERNARD AT BO W.STR E ET. [The following appeared in our late Edition of last night.] This morning the fourth examination of Simon Bernard, who stands charged with being concerned in the late attempted assassination of the Emperor Napoleon on the 14th of January last, took place at Bow -street. The passage leading to the court was densely crowded, and, in a very short time after the opening of the door, the court was crowded to excess, Mr. Bodkin appeared to conduct the prosecution on the part of the Treasury, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner, The French vice-consul, Sir Richard Mayne, the Chief Commissioner of Police, and several other pereoes occupied seats on the bench. The first witness called, was Mr. Edward Chambers Nicholson, one of the firm of Simpson and Co., of Kennington, wholesale chemists and proprietors of the Atlas Works at Walworth—said the firm are engaged in making fulminating powder for the Government to a large extent, The powder is composed of one part mercury, from B,i to 10 of nitric acid, and from B,f to 81 alcohol. Those are the limits-8i would he a gallon of alcohol, The strength of the alcohol would be 64 overproof. Eight parts of absolute alcohol and water makes proof spirit. Nine pounds absolute alcohol, ten pounds of pure nitric acid, and one pound of mercury would be the ingredients to make fulminating powder, The powder would be highly explosive. We always keep it wet, it is then harmless, but before it can be used for explosive pur poses it must be dried. Its chief application is in the preparation of percussion caps. Botts nitre and alcohol are used for photographic purposes. In the collodion process they are not used in combination. Quicksilver is not used in the ordinary photographic process. It is in the daeuerreotype, but in this pi ocess I believe neither of the :other articles are used. The latter process is almost superseded. Jean Decaille—l reside in the Rue Lafitte, Paris. I was near a chemist's shop soon after the explosion took place on the 14th of June. I saw a man come out of the shop. He was wounded in the head, and blood 'as flowing from the wound. I have since seen Orsini in Paris. He is the man. The shop is about 150 yards from the Emperor's entrance to the opera in the Rue Lepelletier. Leon Diot—l reside in Paris. In Jan. last I was a waiter in a restaurant in the Rue Lepelletier. It imme diately faces the French Opera-house. I heard the explosion, and directly afterwards about fif . y persons came into the cafe wounded. I recollect one man in particular, he came in crying ; he remained about two enure. I have since seen Gomez in Paris. He is the .nan. He was taken away by the police. After he lett, toe house was searched, and a revolver pistol with five barrels was found. It was loaded and had a cap on it. [lnspector Saunders here produced a pistol, and the eitness immediately identified it as he one he found ] By Mr. Sleigh— Immed!ately I found the pistol I gave it to the police. I have seen the pistol since I gave it to the police. It was in Paris. I made no mark on it. A number of new pistols were laid on the table is the court eefore me and I selected the one produced from amongst them as the one I found. There was not en titer at all like it. The handles of all the others were polisted ; this one was crossed. By Mr. Bodkin—l particularly noticed at the time I found the pistol the handle of it was crossed. By Ar. Sleigh—At the trial in Paris I showed the eistol to Gomez and ho rec gnised it as his pr iperty. Whenever I saw Gomez at the cafe ho was always in his own apartment. By the Magistrate During the time I was en gaged in attending to the wounded Gomez could have gone into the room where the pistol was found. Isaac Hollis, jun., a guninalcer, residing at Birmine ham, said—On the 23d of November last a perso n came to our premises to purchase firearms. I have seen Pierri in Paris. He is the person. Pierri inquired tthont revolvers. Mr. Bodkin—Did he tell you where to send 'a re volver ? Mr. Sleigh--I object to that question until you corn , nett the prisoner with Pierri. Mr. Bodkin—l think I have done so abundantly. Mr. Jardine—l think it is a proper question. Witness—l sent the pistol produced by his directions to 106, Bath-street, Birmingham. I recognise it by its number, 5,841. I entered the purchase in the day-book. Mr. Holies, men.—l identify the two pistols produced. I sold them on the 29th of October to Pierri. There was another person in company with Pierri. I have seen the prisoner Orsini in Paris. I think he is that person. Orsini paid for the pistols. Mr. Sleigh—Would you like to swear to Orsini being the man ! Witness—No, I should not. Mr. Bodkin—Hal not the beard which he wore when you fire, saw him been removed? Witness—Yes, it had. Pierre Debarge—l recollect the attempt on the life of the Emperor. I was standing that evening near my own residence in the Rue Montbahor. I saw Orsini, Pierri, Gomez, and Radio there, Gomez bad something in a handkerchief. It seemed heavy, and looked like oranges. The witness here put one of the grenades into the handkerchief, and showed how the parcel was carried. Louis Meckenheim--I know the prisoner Pierri. I remember his coming to see me at Brussels on the 7th of Jan. We went to the Cafe Suisse. He had beg black hair and beard. I recollect his speaking to a person in the Cafe. I did not know his name, but now know it to be Georgi. After Georgi had spoken to Pierri, he went into a room and brought out a parcel, which he gave to him. It resembled the packet before me (two halves of a grenade wrapped up iu paper). I saw Pierri leave Brussels for Paris. He took the parcel I have mentioned with hie". Louis Francais Devisme, gunmaker, Boulevard des Italien--I was called in by the authorities to examine the grenade I now hold it, my }sand. There were cape upon all the nipples. I first took off the caps, and I then tapped the balls with my fingers, and the ful minating powder came through the nipples. When I was convinced that there was no more lulminating powder in it, I proceeded to unscrew the top, but before doing so I took 'out one of the nipples. I put water through the hole, the water being only slightly coloured. I felt cer tain the grenade was empty. I produce the fulminating powder and water I took from the bomb. (It teas con tained in a jeer-ounce bottle. The po eeler occupied about a quarter of the bottle.) I have made fulminating pow. der, and I know teat the substance in the bottle is fulminating mercury in its pure state. On the Bth of January Orsini purchased the pistol produced of me. I remember it by the number (7 518). It With on a Friday, and on the following day he brought the weapon back to have the hammer, which was Broken, repaired. On that. occasion he was accorneanied by Piaui. On the 12th it was fetched away by Gum. z. On the night of the attempt I was called to the Pre fecture of Police and shown the pistol. I saw Orsini, Pierri, and Gomez there. I had a conversation with them about tne weapon, Pierri said that the pistol suited him very well, but it was unfortunate the hammer was broken. By Mr. Sheen—l only knew the names of these persons through the police, Jean Barthelemy, clerk at the Prefecture of police, said—l went with the police to Gomez' lodgings in the Rae St. Honore on the night of the at'ack. He was at home. I found the carpet bag which contained the pass port I now produce. The Court adjourned for a quarter of au hour. Upon its being intimated to Bernard that the sitting would be suspended for a short time ; he replied, " Why a quarter of hour—what for ? for a promenade ?" but the inter preter acquainted him with the reason, and he quitted the deck and remained during the time in the waiting room. The Court resumed at half-past 1. Eliza Chenies, housekeeper to Orsini, said Orsini kept the house, 2, Grafton-street, Kentish-town, Orsini's letters were always given to Bernard, except those marked private. He used to visit Orsini and frequently dined with him. After Orsini left Kentish town, Bernard uFed to call about twice a week for his (Orsini's) letters. He continued to call at the house up to the time of his arrest. When Orsini left Kentish-town he wore his beard. It had been removed when I saw him in the French prison. His hair had changed colour from bleak to %bite. When Orsini left London he said he should return. Eliza Rudio—l am the wife of Carl Radio. My husband ie now confined in Paris. I have been married two years. I am not yet eighteen. I lived for some time in Nottingham, My husband resided in London, When I came to London I resided in Bateman's Build ings. Sleigh—l do not think that the present witness can be examined any further. She is the wife of one of the conspirators, and as such she is not compelled to answer any more questions. Mr. Bo ; not if her evidence tends to criminate her husband. The objection of my learned &lent.: has been anticipated, and a pardon for Rudio, in England, is therefore being prepared by the Attorney General, under the Great Seal of England, whi,:h would restore the competency of the witness. Mr. Sleigh —I am not prepared to admit this. I shall n >t object to the cuurt proceeding as this is not a fi,,al cJurt. The cxArrivation was then proceeded with. While living in Bateinan'tf-buildings we were very badly off. Whilst we were in a very distressed state the prisoner 13 , frrard came to our lodgings a short time after Christ mae, and, having made some inquiries, gave ua ten shillings. He shortly aberwards called again, and finally it was arranged that whenever Bernard called he would ring the bell twice, and then my husband was to go clown. He never told me his name. One occasion, after the bell had rune twice, my husband brought up six shillings. Mr. Sleigh again objected to the examination of this watiess. Mr. Jardine —I think the examination ought to pro coed. I wal see that nothing i done to the prejudice of the beg and. Examination continued— On one occasion &mar gave me half a sovereign. He asked why we did not come to him if we wanted money. He told me JOURNEYMEN TAILORS' INSTITUTION.—Last e7eniog the anniversary festival of this excellent charity was celebrated at the London Tavern, when upwards of 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner under the presidency of the Hon. G. Byng, M.P. The usual loyal and patri , tie toasts having been given, the chairman gave the toast of the night, advocating the cause of the charity with coesiderable warmth and feeling. The repert to owed that its total income for the past year, from all urces, am unted to 2,8161., while tue exp-nditure for the saw* period, including 14001 paid in pensions to the aged and 1 firm dependents upon its funds, was lower team the income to the extent of 6941., which had accordingly been addel to the funded property of the institution. In the course of the evening subscriotions to the amount of nearly 8001. were announced in the room, and the pr... cet.dings terminated with much eclat. Tne musical ar rangewents were excellent, and the dinner, both for its profusion and admir a bl e m anner of serving, left nothing to be desired, either fur the reputation of the house or comfort of the guests. % HEARING-- SPECTACLES POWERFUL TELESCOPES OPERA, uVERTI isid its T.
