The 64th Regiment had been much under artillery fire, f r om which it had severely suffered. The whole of the infantry were lying down in line, when, perceiving that the enemy had brought out the last reserved gun, a 24- . pounder, and were rallying round it, I called up the regiment to rise and advance. Without any other word from me, Lieutenant Havelock placed himself on his horse, in front of the centre of the 64th, oppo site the muzzle of the gun. Major Stirling com manding the regiment, was in front, dismounted, but the Lieutenant continued to move steadily on in front of the regiment at a foot pace, on his horse. The gun discharged shot until the troops were within a short distance, when they fired grape. In went the corps, led by the Lieutenant, who still steered steadily on the gun's muzzle until it was mastered by a rush of the 64th."— (Entract of a telegram from the late Major-General Sir Henry Havelock to the Commander-in-Chief in India, dated Cawnpore, August 18, 1857.) 9th Lancers—Privates Thomas Hancock and John Purcell—" The guns, I am happy to say, were saved, but a waggon of Major Scott's battery was blown up.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, ac companied by several members of the Staff at head quarters, will leave town at an early hour this morning for Aldershot, to inspect the militia regi ments in the camp. Lieut.- Col. C. J. Woodford, of the Rifle Brigade, whose death is reported to have taken place on the 28th Nov. in the engagement Gen. Windham had with the Gwalior mutineers, was son of General Sir A. Woodford, the Lieut.-Governor of Chelsea Hos pital. The deceased officer entered the Rifle Bri- , gado as Second Lieut. in Feb., 1840, and shortly afterwards served as aide-de-camp to his father, then Governor of Gibraltar. During the 17 years he had been in the army he had seen much active service, having taken part in the Caffre war of 1846 and 1847. At the outbreak of war in the East be was ordered to the seat of war with his battalion, and during the Eastern campaign acted as Deputy-As sistant-Quartermaster - General at bead-quarters, and was wounded in the attack on the Redan on the Bth. He received a medal for his services during the Caffre war, and a medal and two clasps for his services iu the Crimea. His commissions bore date as follows :—Second Lieut., 28th Feb., 1840 ; Lieut., 3d June, 1843 ; Captain, 14th April, 1847 ; Brevet-Major, 12th Dec., 1854 ; Major, 9th Feb., 1855; and Brevet-Lieut.-Col., 2d Nov. 1855. The Liesac.-Colonelcy of the 37th (the North Hampshire Regt., is vacant by the death of Lieut.- Gen. W. Smelt, C. 8., whose death has been an nounced as having taken place at Bath ou Sunday last. The gallant officer was in his 76th year. Hart's Army List gives the following record of his ser vices :—" Lieut.-General Smelt served in the Ame rican war, and was present at the taking of Platts burgh, storm and capture of Oswego, action of Lun dy's-lane, storming of Fort Erie, Aug. 13, 1814, where he was severely and dangerously wounded. He served also during the Burmese war in 1824, 1825, and 1826, and was present at the capture of Rangoon, and other actions in Ava." The deceased had also served in Ceylon, Madras, &c. He entered the army as cornet, in March, 1798, and obtained progressive rank, as follows :—Lieutenant, Dec. 11, 1799; Captain, March 21, 1805: Major, Jan. 28, 1808 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, June 4, 1814; Colonel, July 22, 1830 ; Major-General, Nov. 11, 1851. He held the colonelcy of the 37th Foot since April, 1851. _ Colonel W. R. Eden, Commandant at Chatham, by the demise of Lieut.- General Wm. Smelt, C. 8., is promoted to the rank of Major-General, and will consequently vacate his present appointment. Yesterday the reinforcements under orders to embark for India, to the number of 354 non-com missioned officers and men, proceeded from Chat ham to Gravesend, where they embarked from the Custom-house-quay on board the screw steamer United Service for Bombay and Kurrachee. The Racoon,2l, screw steamer, Capt. J. A. Payn ter, left Chatham yesterday, and proceeded to Gil lingham-reach, for the purpose of taking on board her guns and sea stores, previously to taking her departure. The paddlewheel steam-vessel Princess Alice, Master Commander Mugford, proceeded down the river yesterday morning from Woolwich on survey, to decide on an eligible spot for laying down moor ings to harbour the various ships employed on special service connected with the approaching Royal marriage. The freight ship Royal Rose arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning from the docks, under orders to ship 29 heavy guns, together with 440 tons of military store 4, for the Mauritius. Six Russian guns, captured at Sebastopol in 1855, having been supplied with gun carriages, were yes terday despatched from Woolwich Arsenal to Salis bury, Wells, Scarborough, Evesham, Ripon, and Cardiff. Letters from India, received by the last mail, report the following movements of the transport steamers belonging to the European and American Company's fleet :—Th3 Golden Fleece and the Lady Joeelyn were about to leave Calcutta fur England with passengers and cargo, the former at the end of December and the latter in January. The Queen of the South arrived at Madras on the Ist Dec. with the head-quarters of the 66th Regt., and was ordered to take them on to Cannanore, whither she proceeded immediately. The Hydaspes, with artillery, arrived at Galle on the 14th Dec., and let; on the 16th for Calcutta. She also took from Galle the troop conveyed there from Suez, who were to be left at Madras on her way to Calcutta.

The manifestly Admiral at the Cape station bad received ample abut directions the I I tra,nsp rt of the troop s, and the Government (Aug. 26) furthr.r proposed to seed out two regiments from England to remain a t the CaPe ) with the view of enabling , Sir G.

On the 23d Oca in Lord Panure's "entire a pp r oval" of the measures t a ken by Sir G. G rey for despatching troops to I ndia was communicated to him through Mr. Labouchere. The Admiralty concurred._ On the 27th of No vember last, Mr. la "lhouchere addressed a sort of reminder" to Sir G Grey, reiterating the w ishEs Government, of the Homo ' himself of the larg e that he should avail g number of troops t hen as sembled in South Af e rica, to render the utm ost as sistance in his power to the Indian Gover nment, and trusted that he would have been able t o do ro consistently with rtes of safety of the colonists. An other despatch, the s t h of December, th r ows cold water on a at the Cape an proposalof Sir G. Grey to recei v e which it might be at Natal any Sepoy reg iments desirable to receive from India, and this closes th e series of despatches from Down ing-street. Th ose of Sir G. Grey are appended. They include the aforesaid proposal about the Sepoy regiment s , give detailed accounts of sir G. Grey's measure and India. On the 1 for supplyiog reinforcements to desire 24th September Sir G. Grey again expressed 1 - Cs to afford all pos-ible aid to the Indian Government,e write arid in reference to the Sepoys h© s to Downing street on the 3d of Octoberthat the accounts received at the Cape of the atrocities committed by those wretches had created too string a feel ing against them in the colony to allow their re , ception. The the interim by off r, however, had been declined in the Government of India. T he despatches from Ceylon and the Maiiiiiius are of a routine charae'el.' The measures of Go vernor Sir H. G. Ward a liar to hive been fully approv ed b y the Government. And now, let us ask, w h a t were the actual achievements of t 1 :e Governor of the Cape? Ho boasted much, but it appears from the papers Le fore us, that although so much dependence was placed on him, the supply of reinforcements to In dia by him afforded was really insignificant. He was instructed by the Colonial-office, as already stated, to send 6 regiments to Point de Galle for subsequent distribution ; and it is thought by com petent judges that he might and ought to have sent 10. Referring to Sir G. Grey's own account of his "doings," as contradistinguished from his "say ings," it appears that he despatched to Bombay in Aug. last 11. M.'s 89th and 95th Regiments (1,500 strong in the whole), and about 220 men of the Royal Artillery. Sir G. Grey further informs the Colonial-office (Aug. 9) that he had forwarded to Calcutta a detachment of the 23d Fusileers, but these had merely arrived en route, and so, of course, would count for nothing. On the 25th of August the despatch of 500 men of the 13th Regi ment to Calcutta is reported by the Governor of the Cape. The purchase of horses and the further despatch of 500 men to Ceylon in the Bosoawen, and of sundry horses and 250 additional men to Calcutta in the Megxra (3d of October), appear to complete the sum of Sir G. Grey's valuable " sup plies." He was asked for six regiments ; he was constantly vaunting his desire to assist the Indian army, and talking grandly of what he intended or hoped to do ; and behold the result—the despatch of two regiments, a portion of a third, a company of artillery, and a few horses. The total reinforce ments reported to have been sent to Bombay and Bengal up to the 10th of August was 1,665 men, and to these must be added the 500 men of the 13th Regiment (already mentioned), and the 250 sent out in the Megaara, besides 560 horses. The troops for Ceylon were merely sent to replace others sent from that colony to India.—Times. AN ADVENTURE IN CHINA, (From the Friend of China,.Nov. 28.) Her Majesty's steamsloop Inflexible wag entirely successful in her trip to Swatow and its neighbour hood for the purpose of obtaining the release from duranc3 there of Captain Rose of the wrecked brig Kadree. She returned here on Saturday, and we now learn the following particulars of the wreck, the detention, and the recapture. Straits'-owned oversea vessels, we need hardly tel our readers, seldom have more than one Englishman on board, the master—whose principal, if not only duty, be yond a general supervision, is that of navigating when out of sight of land. Always when near the coast native pilots are employed. Thus the Kadree when pursuing her voyage from Macao to Amoy, was in charge of three Chinese pilots, and there is grave reason for believing that for a purpose, not by accident, was the Kadree stranded a short distance from Breaker Point on the 25th ult. The Kadree, uninsured, had on board a cargo of bark, tin, lead, &c., worth over 1,000 dols., and specie (three-fourths the owner's and one-fourth the supercargo's) amounting to 8,000 dols. Whether or not this specie was the object of desire on the part of these pilots cannot be said ; at' all events, un less there were some collusion with the shore people, it is not known as yet whether they obtained any portion of it. The vessel first struck on a hard sand-pit about 4 in the morning of a beautiful day, and eventually drifted on to the beach, where she was soon sur rounded by numerous wreckers from the shore. In the course of the day two Portuguese lorchas came into the bay, and, seeing the position of the brig, made preparations for assisting her, The Christian portion of the crew of the brig, how ever, did not wait for assistance to come to them, and, jumping into the sampans alongside ' left the vessel directly they had completed the lading in one of the boats of the specie, previously put into bags. Prior to the appearance of these lorchas it should be stated, a man, representing himself to be an officer of the Government, came on board, and strongly advised the Nakodah not to land, but to engage boats and get to Swatow as soon as possible, aud it was arranged that for taking them there the treasure should be given as a remuneration. To this the Nakodah consented, and, with some dozen of the crew and Captain Rose, the sampan and valu ables pushed off on the morning of the 26th. But they had not proceeded far when they were sur rouaded by numerous boats, and forced towards the shore ; the Nakodah and natives jumping into another boat and escaping. Captain Rose, unable by reason of weakness from fever and swollen legs to move from his position in the stern, was the sole prisoner. The first business of the captors, before dragging Captain Rose through the surf, was to strip him of everything he had on, and thou to march him, naked as be was born, to a village some threo miles inland, where he was forced into an outhouse among some straw. About four o'clock in the afternoon ' of the same day Captain Rose saw 20 dols. paid down for him, and he was then driven out like a wild animal, and beaten over his swollen legs with bamboos till the blood gushed from them. He was then made to go to a ferry, where a beat was found laden with 30 fathoms of one of the ' ship's cables, with which they proceeded up a lake some five or six miles, landing at sundown ; Capt. Rose being then shown into, a hovel and made to lie on the bate floor, still naked, a bundle of straw for a pillow, and an old musquito curtain for a palampo. The next day, the 4 27th, on they went again overland a short distance, until Capt. Rose's • legs could carry him no further, and then a chair was procured with which they proceeded in a due westerly direction to a village where our unfortu nate countryman was again sold for 50 dols. On the 30th of October, five days only after the wreck, Capt. Rose was greatly surprised at receiv ing a letter from Mr. Morrison, chief mate of the receiving brig Anonyma at Swatow, dated the 29th, asking him how he was. In reply Capt. Rose said he was kindly enough treated, and urged of course as early assistance as poesible. This clay, too, he was fortunate in obtaining the goodwill of an old woman, who gave him a pair of trousers to put on, and another dressed the wounds on his legs, the females throughout the detention exhibiting a kindness in marked contrast to that of their brutal lords. On the Ist of November another letter came, say ing 20 dole. had been sent for his release ; and on the 4th a third letter was brought, stating that t , ie 20 dols. would be increased to 100 dols. directly he appeared. But no sign of a move was made by the flesh holders until the 6th, when a man named Sin Kit came, bringing and paying down 230 dols. or 250 dols. On the 7th, after a good deal of chaffer ing and noise, a chair was brought, and in it Capt. It; se proceeded on his return eastward, passing, go ing and corning, no less than three walled towns, o ne of them Ton-goo, and some dozen large villages care being taken, however, to k ee p the rano - sho ff of an English face from official and general gaze. It took them a day to reach the village of Hoa-lien, Sin Kit's dwelling-place. There Capt. Rose was kept until the 16th, when a letter was handed to him from Commander G. A. C. Brooker, of the sham-sloop Inflexible, in which that gallant officer explained that he had come to Swatow fur the purpose of releasing Capt. Rose from the villagers. I n this letter Capt.,Brooker stated that several sums had been offered for the ransom of Capt. Rene, that a war steamer had arrived on his account, and that he had intimated to Sin Kit that if the prisoner were not released Sin Kit would be handed over to the Mandarin at - watow, or taken to Hong Kong. To this Capt. Rose replied that the ransom had been reduced to 370 taels, bat that without the appearance either of money or force his release was hardly likely. Five more tedious days passed, and then, when almost despairing, Capt. Rose was agreeably aroused from a noonday nap with, " Oh, you Englishman, prisoner ! wh€re are you ?" Rousing himself he found the house in possession of a score of British marines and Vuejackets. Not a moment was lost in preparing for a return to the ship, anchored some nine miles off, Capt. Rose's toilet being soon completed —a thick coat from his last owner, together with the trousers before spoken of, being his sole wardrobe. And here we must pause in the narrative to give expression to our sense of admiration of the very judicious and gallant manner in which Commander Brooker effected Mr. Rose's release. Finding fthin the reply that the holders were still disposed to pre varicate, with a view to gesting more money, he at once, with the concurrence, of course, of Captain Sullivan, of the Anonyma, whose genei ous aid, as well as t hat of Mr. Morrison, his chief mate, cannot be too highly spoken off, seized on Mr. Ahi, the go-between, and told him that without more ado his life should pay the forfeit unless he led the way to the prison -house. Forthwith the anchor was weighed and a day spent in searching for the bay, some three miles from the beach of which Hoa-lien was said to be. At last it was found, and early on Friday, taking the cutter, pinnace, and gig fully manned, Capt Brooker landed with his frightened guide at. a point 9 mil's, it was found, from the object of their dt sire. Such was the aelerity of their march that every one in thevillage was taken by surprise. How neces sary suclicelerity was to success our readers will as readily perceive as we can indicate. To exhibit its value, we quote Captain Roe's words to us when telling the story :—" To march that distance from any support, knowing, as I do, the thousands upon thousands of infuriated Chinese who could have been summoned at the mere blowing of a conch shell was the pluc's lest thing in Captain Brooker, Lieut. Anson, Dr. Magrath, and the 20 men I ever heard of. I would not have done it —no, not to save my own brother." But little more remains to b 3 told. The In flexible was safely reached about sundown ; 18 hours afterwards she was at anch3r in Hongkong. Once on board the Inflexible (as represented by her captain, officers, and crew, 'appropriately named), the welcome and kind treatment accorded to Captain Rose may be conceived, he says, but he cannot describe them. Sir John Bowling-, we are glad to find, has headed a subscription with 20 dollars to enable Captain Rose to purchase a suit of clothes and some nautical instruments. POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE—Java. 14. MANSION-HOUSE.—Thos. Pleydell, confectioner, of No. 25, Bishopsgate-street Without, was summon©d before the Lord Mayor, for having attempted to kiss Mrs. Elizabeth Aiken, the wife of a hairdresser who resides in the neighbourhood. The complainant said—On Sunday morning I went to the defendant's house, a little before 12 o'clock, to take home a razor which he had left with my husband. He opened the door and asked me if I had the razor, and I said "yea." He then asked ma to go into the bakehouse whilst he went upstairs to get the key to pay the money. In about five minutes he came down and asked me if I would have a mincepie. I refused, and he said " do," and he put a mincepie in a paper bag and handed it to me. He then asked me if I had change for sixpence, and I gave him a penny and a threepenny piece, as the razor came to twopence. When I put my hand out to receive the sixpence from him he tried to kiss me, and he said he would not let me go till I kissed him. He then struggled very hard, with all his might, to kiss me, and he pulled me 'about in a very disor derly manner, and bent my bonnet. I got to the door, and then he tried three times more to kiss me. The defendant (who is a very serious-looking charac ter) here said—My Lord, I never thought of kissing her, and I am ready to take my oath that I never made any attempt of the kind. The Lord Mayor—The shop was not open, I suppose ? The defendant (shaking his head) —Oh no, my Lord, ❑ever open my shop on Sunday. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—What did you give her the mince pie for ? I suppose that was to pay for the kiss you wanted to take ? (A laugh.) The defendant—l gave her the pie for her civility in coming with the razor. I didn't want any kissing, not at all. She has not told the truth. The complainant—My Lord, I was quite ill with the exertions I made to get away from him. I consider his conduct most scandalous. Mr. Aiken, the complainant's husband—My Lord, I never knew my wife, to tell a lie in her life. When she came home from the defendant's house I knew that something disagreeable had occurred at once, for she appeared to be greatly agitated and burst into tears. She lay quite prostrate for some time, and more like a dead than a living person. I wish your lordship to understand that I do not seek any advantage from this complaint. I merely come here to expose the circum stances of the case for the sake of public justice. Mrs. Pleydell (the wife of the defendant)—My Lord,' I believe what my husband says. I am sure he never attempted to take any liberty with her at all, and that all the woman has said is false. _ . Mr. Aiken—l solemnly declare to your lordship that Mrs. Pleydoll told me when she was spoken to on the subject that she believed every word my wife had uttered was perfectly true. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—And I believe so too. There is not the slightest doubt about the matter, and yet the defen dant has the audacity to say that be is ready to take his oath to the contrary. I fine bins 404. and costs, and he wi 1 not easily forget that the mere attempt to kiss cost him a couple of guineas. Patrick Leary, a porter in the employment of Messrs. Adams, of Pudding-lane, fruit merchants, was committed to prison for having stolen 28 oranges, the property of his masters. . Mr. Oakley, who superintends the workmen on the premi,es, stated upon the occasion that it was scarcely to be credited to what extent this plunder of fruit chests was carried on, and The Lord Mayor intimated that he would deal rigorously wi' h every case of the kind. Thomas Henry White, conductor of an omnibus, was charged with having been intoxicated while performing his &iv. The iiroekeeper of the General Omnibus Company stated that having been informed that the defenciatt was tipsy in Mansion-house-street, he took him into custody. No douLt the man was intoxicated, but he was exceed ingly civil, and made nu resistance whatever. The manager of the cempat,y said the defendant waq a respectable man, who conducted himself well in per forming his duty. The offence of intoxication was, how ever, one which would not be excused, and the direc tors bad issued orders that any one of the servants who should be guilty of it should be at once committed to the custody of the police. The defendant said he had abstained from strong drinks altogether for 14 weeks, but having wet an old friend he happened to take one drop too much, which gave him the . appearance of being drunk, but be would have been able to go through his business, if he had not been interfered with. Nevertheless, he was thankful to the officer who took him into custody. The Lord Mayor—l trust that the directors of the company will not discharge him, for it appears to tee that he very much regrets the offence he has committed. Toe manager said he would state his lordship's impres sion upon the subject to the directors, and as the defend ant was respectable, he hoped they would not discharge The Lord Mayor (to the defendant)—Now follow my advice and stop this horrible habit, which, if it gain upon you, will lead to your destruction inevitably. I bad a poor fellow before roe yesterday, charged with begging, who had served 14 years in India, and whose only fault was, I really believe, his love of drink, which led him to beggary, and which, if you continue to indulge in it, will put you in a similar condition. You are now discharged. The defendant dec!ared that no power on earth should prevail on him to drink, and appeared to be very grateful. WORSHIP-STREET.— A swarthy, well-tiressda young man, who gave the name of George Miler, and said he was a cigar maker, living in 0, chard-street, Peckham. was charged before Mr. Hammill with steal ing a valuable watch. Mr. William Pedder, a master mariner, residing in Savage gardens, Tower hill, accompanied by a friend, went the previous evening to the Standard Theatre, and while mixed with tne crowd, gradualy approach ing the " pay box" was annoyed by the prisoner pressing forcibly against his left side, as though desirous of " going a-head," which, however, when an oppor tunity offered, he declined doing, but fell back to "*item." Prosecutor shortly afterwards, while in the' act of taking his box ticket fur himself and friend, heard a sudden " click," and directly finding that his watch, which had been evpeuded in his waistcoat pocket, had been snapped from the chain and stolen, he seized pri soner by the throat, accusing him of being the thief. " ludeed, indead, sir, you are wrong: Had I got it I would telt you so," replied the prisoner. The officers of the theatre at teis jaueture coming up directed, the accuser and accueed to wait the arrival of a police con stable at the box-;!airs It was there that I observed three ladies standing near us, said the prosecutor, and the prisoner said to rue, 'You want your watch without further trouble." " The less the better," I replied. " Then," raid he, "it is hi your coat pocket tail." There I felt and Lund it, one of the " ladies " having, no doubt, stowed it away. I put it ia my trousers pocket for safety ; and shortly after ward's prisoner asked —" You don't want 'anything more now that you have it all right, do your I replied, "I am not sure that it is ad right ; you may have stolen it again ;" but I found it wrs still in my pocket, and I gave the prisoner into custedy. • Ilaucet, 102 G, stated that prisoner offered him Sl. to " try and make it all right," and prisoner was re manded. WE3TMINSTER.—Aaron Cullen, a respectable looking, middle-aged man, was charged under the fol lowing circumstances : Mrs. Constance Lucy Matthews, treasurer of the School of Discipline, a reformatory for young females, Queen's -read West, Chelsea, stated that on the previous morning the defendant came to the house, and refused to leave unless his daughter, who was confined in the school under commitment, was given up to him. A policeman was sent for to remove him, and as ho would not go, witness gave him into custody. In answer to questions from Mr. Arnold, witness said that the school was registered, and produced a condi tiorial pardon from the Crown, under which the defen dant's daughter had been placed there. Defendant wished to explain his reasons for claiming his daughter. She got into bad company two years ago, when about 15 years of age, and was prosecuted at the Westminster sessions, and sentenced to 12 months' irn prisonxnent, for stealing a watch from the house of her employer. lle told the assistant judge that he was most desirous steps should be taken to reclaim her, when the judge informed him that he would see what he could do, but did not mention anything about a reformatory. She stopped in the prison till May, when she was removed to the School of Discipline at Chelsea. He visited her there, and finding just before. Christmas that she looked very ill, he questioned her, when she said she had been very ill, but had not seen any doctor, and being desirous of taking her home and procuring a situation for her, he had demanded her, as he conceived, rightly. He bad hit her remain in the institution so long as he had be cause he thought it would be beneficisl to her. He could not see that she ought in justice to be kept contrary to her wishes, Mr. Arnold observed that the pardon before him, .which bore her Majesty's signature, was given upon con dition that she should be subject to 'the roles of the institution in which ehe had been placed, and that she should remain there until duly discharged. Defendant inquired who was to discharge her ? Mrs. Matthews replied Sir G. Grey, and begged to call the attention of the magistrate to the terms of the con ditional pardon, " that she should be subject to the rules," one of which R as that agirl could not be received into the school to remain less than two years. Defendant, whoappeared to havecommitted the offence with which he was charged in order to raise the question of whether his daughter was not entitled to her dis charge, argued that as her original sentence was only twelve months' imprisonment, her liberty should not be restrained any longer. Mr. Arnold was of a contrary opinion. She had bee❑ removed from the prison to which she bad been sent after undergoing a portion of her punishment upon cer tain conditions offered, and if she accepted them, she was bound by them. The magistrate then cited the act of Pa►liameut to show that if any inmate of a registered reformatory absconded therefrom, or was disobedient to 1 the rules of the its itution, he or she might bo brought before a magistrate and committed for three calendar' months, in ►addition to the former sentence, and unless considered obj-cts of the royal clemency, might also be remitted back to gaol to serve the remainder the original sentence. Djfendant, who appeared satisfied with this exposi tion of the law, was then ordered to enter into his own recognisances to keep the peace. Caries Crow, a private in the Guards, was finally examined, charged with stealing two watches. The circumstances were somewhat singular. The pri soner went on the 6th inst. to Mr. Berry's, in Parlia ment-street, where the unfortunate man Casse was recently murdered, and having at his request been shown some watcher, dashed out of the shop with one and escaped. On the following night he, singularly enough, went to Mr. Berry's other shop, Stafford-row, and played a simi lar trick, but was pursued and captured with the watch in his hand. The other watch was pawned by the pri soner directly after Le had pOssessed himself of it. Committed for trial. SOUTHWARK.—Mr. Edwin, solicitor, Dover-road, attended before Mr. Combe to obtain an order under the New Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act for the-pro tection of some property belonging to a married female, carrying on business in the Old Kent-road. She had Ism deserted by her husband several times, and on each occasion he had plundered her of her money, and left her largely in debt. She was extremely industrious, and without any assistance from her husband was able to maintain herself and five children. He presimed that his worship could make the required order for protec tion under the 21st clause of the act. Mr. Combe—When did the husband desert her last t Mr. Edwin—About five weeks ago. He then took away 401., leaving her to pay three quarters' rent and a number of bills, and told her she might go to the work house if she could not pay. Mr. Combo—l don't think your application comes within the meaning of the act. He has only left her five weeks, and may return, and there is nothing to prevent the landlord coining in and seizing the goods for the rent due by her husband. Mr. Edwin—But my client has been assisted in main • taining her business by her relatives. The husband never assisted her. Mr. Combe—You say the husband has returned seve• ral times, and only five weeks ago he deserted her. He may return again to-morrow. I cannot consider that a desertion within the meaning of the act. Mr. Edwin—Cannot you make an order for the pro• tection of the goods by which she now gains her liveli hood 1 Mr. Combe—Has she acquired any property by her own earnings since her husband left her ? Mr. cannot say that exactly ; but her husband never rendered her any assistance, and it would be a hard case for her to be plundered by him (again. Her landlord is willing to wait for the rent, and het friends will assist her if she can get protection. Combe—Under the circuntstances which you. represent I cannot interfere. It does not come within the meaning of the act of Parliame n t. _ _ Mr. Edwin— .Ye shall have to come before you again shortly, as it does not appear likely that the husband will return again in a hurry. Mr. Comb C-1 should be most happy to grant you the order, and as soon as you can bring your application within the meaning of the act you can have it. The parties then left the court. LAMBETH —Yesterday, on the Hon. C. Norton taking his seat on the bench, a respectably-dressed middle-aged female entered the witness box and re quested his advice and assistance under the following somewhat singular clrcumetances :—She stated that about eight mouths ago, a ft er a w id owhood of a b out two * year a, she married the brother of her former husband, thinking at the time that he would make as good * husband as his brother, but he turned out quite the contrary and treated her with the greatest cruelty and indifference. Mr. Norton—What is the particular treatment of which you complain ! Applicant—He keeps me in a room by myself, without a bit of fire; and on dry bread—in fact, he nearly starves me, though at the time I matried him I had 2001. of zn own, which I gave him, and on which he commenced business. Mr. Norton—What is your husband ? Applicant—He's a baker, sir—a master baker. Mr. Norton—Then what do you want me to do for you I Applicant—My husband tells me he's no husband of mine —that our marriage is not legal ; and I want to know if I am not entitled to the good house of furniture which I had when I got married. Mr. Norton—lfuni'ortunatelyis so that your marriage is not legal ; and I don't know what to say about your furniture. I shall send an officer to your husband, to hear what he has to say o n th e su bj ec t ; th a t is aI.V• can do at present. WANDSWORTII.—WiIIiam Wait, a toll collector on the Wandsworth-road Trust, was summoned before Mr. Ingham, charged with using abusive language in sb public thoroughfare, under the following singular eir• cutnstances The summons was taken out by Mr. John Brooks,. of Acre Cottage as the language used referred to him, The defendant was only fined at this court a short time since in two penalties of 40s. and costs, for abusing Yr' Brooks on another occas'on, and also a storekeeper named Wood, near to the toll-bar. Sergeant Aybrook, of the V divibion, stated that 011 Tuesday afternoon, the sth inst., he was passing along the Wanclswor,b-road, when he saw the defendant WI; ing out of his box, and he said " Who stole the ducks Witness turned round and laughed, as he at first though‘ the observation was meant for him. The defendant without taking any notice, answered his own quelstiol l by saying "Johnny Brooks." The defendant then con' tinued : "To whom did they belong a Mr. PlailliP ° down the road," Mr. Ingham wished to know if these words were spoken out loudly, or were they merely a confidentia l soliloquy with himself ? The sergeant said he was on the opposite side of the road, and he heard him as he passed. It was said is half talking and half singing manner. Mr. Wood was called and corroborated the statemen t of the sergeant. The defendant used very violent language in the coal against both Mr. Brooks and Mr. Wood, and declared that complainant did steal the ducks. Mr. Brooks explained that he was returning home one night with a neighbour, when he saw three ducks ran• ning loose in the road. He took them home, and 00 next day he made inquiries as to whom they belonged, and upon finding that they were the property of gr• Phillips, in the Wandsworth•road, he sent them to his house, and Mr. Phillips gave his man a shilling O f bringing them home. Air. Ingham fined t►he defendant 403. and 2e. costs, of 21 day:;' imprisonment, _ . The defendant then had to answer another surarnoo g for violently assaulting William Ilosman, a machiMA at her Majesty's Theatre. It appeared that the complainant in this case was stranger to any of th e p ar ti es , an d on t h e even i ng of ar, same day ho was pas s i ng th e b ar , w h en h e saw a crow° . of Nrsens round the defendant's box.

It also appeared that the de' fendamt was drunk, and when in that state be vil° exceedingly violent. Mr. lughatu having remarked upon the abominabin assault committed by the defendant, fined him or ° ea slum th.
