THE TRANSIT THROUGH EGYPT. (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) CAIRO, Dec. 26, 1857 We have all been de tained here (Cairo) for the last week, in conse quence of the Alma steamer breaking her shaft. For three days we have been huddled up in various hotels, some with rooms, others without, waiting the telegraph announcing the Alma's arrival at Suez. It is a frightful business this, and there seems to be little chance of our getting off befote the sth proximo, if then. There are no extra steamers. The Oriental was at Suez, but having been contracted for the conveyance of troops to Madras and Kurrachee, the agent would not take the responsibility of detaining them. The Ajdalia) another, but a Government man-of-war steamer, was fortunately near Suez, and was hailed to carry a ietachmeut of 350 troops which had already been detained nearly to six weeeks. Owing straits • to this ut sad contretemps we have a:1 been p for one whole week we have all had to go without our baggage, which was fooavarded on to . Suez the This morning some night we got to Alexan dria. of the baggage has been brought back—many boxes , broken, apparel hanging ont, carpet bags cut open —other boxes missin g (mine among the number). To to our grievances, hotel expenses at the rate of 11. a day, money getting scarce among the pas sengers. Hotel arrangements are abomin able, owing to the crush of people. I could not get a room at all, though I spoke about it several times--new-comers dropping in. Ido not know what I should have done had not -- offered iae a couch in his room. All the young ensigns are in a great way for want of means. The ladies are more inconvenienced than any of ns. If we go to the agent, he always manages to be out of the way. The agent of the Transit Company lives at Alexandria, so we cannot get hold of him except by leeter. In fact there is no one to refer to when one wishes to make inquiries. As for money, there seems little chance of raising it—only one banking agency here, who refuses to advance but on letters of credit, and only to the amount therein specified. It is calculated that upwards of 1,000/. will he required by all the passengers together if we are delayed here a fortnight. Everything is ex pensive—food infamous. No attendance at the hotels unless one hires a dragoman ; every hole and corner full of dirt, due, and discomfort ; if one wants to get clean, one must pay for a cold bath, and here it is essential to keep clean more than ix any other place. We are compel!ed to remain here, being without means and without knowing when we can get away. All the passengers are indignant at the way they have teen treated, and have had numerous meet ings, noisy and demonstrative. I have no doubt that many letters of complaint will appear in the English papers in consequence. For all the delay and discomfort is owing to the Peninsular and Oriental Company neglecting to provide an extra steamer at Suez to meet such an emergency, and it is the eecoud time the public have been so shame fully treated. The Australian passengers were similarly detained, it is understood, for six weeks. Troops are continually arriving, and will have to suffer a similar detention, and pro bably with worse accommodation. The detach ment was huddled away at Suez in a dirty coal shed. Everything assumes the appearance of dis order and mismanagement. Many civilians ace sufferers in another pecuniary point of view, as they have to rot mn to their appointments within a certain time, but which they cannot now do, and even stand a chance of forfeiting them. A judge of the Sadder, Madras, tells me ho lives at the rate of 10/. per diem, another 8/., and so on. All of us losing about a fortnight's pay and service. A laseeting has been called to consider what st3ps should be teken to recover from the Peninsular and Oeienptat.Steam Packet Company compensation for expenses, Sic., incurrA from the accident to the Alma. This vessel had to leave 35 of her passengers at Aden, of all places, where they are fed zee!. lodged at the expense of the Company. We have written to the agent iu this country and await Isis reply. The Nubia is expected from Calcutta. She has been made so as to convey 800 soldiers, inde pendent of the usual complement of passengers, and she is the corre s po n di ng vesse l t o th e ma il o f Dec. 20, from London, to that many, if net all of us, will have to be deck passengers, having paid 100/. for proper accommodation. Many, it is expected, will have to remain behind. —Daily News. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

(Before Mr. Creasy, at Clerkenwell.) lIT.RAORDINARY CASE OF STEALINCI, A CRIED-SEN TENCE OF SEVEN YEARS' PENAL SERVITUDE. Eleanor Emmerson, 29, was indicted for feloni ously and maliciously, by force and fraud, taking away and detaining Johanna Richardson, au infant child under the qge of ten years, with intent to deprive Mary Richardson, the mother, of the pos session of such child. There were five other counts in the indictment, varying the offence. Mary Richardson, the mother of the child, said —I live at No. 12, Poole's-buildings, Mount Plea sant, Gray's-inn-lane. I had a child, Johanna Richardson, between 10 and 11 months old, and as I had to go out to work in the daytime I used to leave my baby with the prisoner while I was out to take care of it. She used to come and fetch it in the morning, and brought it back to me in the evening. At the time this happened I was living in Tine-street, Liquorpond-street. My baby at this time sucked at the breast. I gave the prisoner 2s. Gd. per week to take care of the child. She lived next door to me. On the 20th Aug. I dressed my child in the morning, and I have not seen it since. On that morning the prisoner asked me to come home as soon as I could in the evening, as she wanted to go to the play. I returned home about 8 o'clock that night, as I could not get home earlier. When I got home I did not see the prisoner, nor could I hear anything about my child. The pri soner did not say anything to me that she was about to leave the neighbourhood. I have never seen my child since. The next time I saw the pri soner was when she was in custody in the prison. I said to her as soon as I saw her, " Where is my dear baby 7" to which she replied, "It is dead and buried." I then asked her where, and she said, "In Victoria-park. Cemetery." I again saw her in prison, when she said the child had been buried by the parish authorities, but I do not know whether this was my child. I have two other children at Lome. They go to school. They are of the respective ages of five and eight years. The night I missed my baby I walked about the streets all nig!it, for I could not rest, but I could hear nothin g of it. The prisoner here sullenly remarked that she had before had the baby.two or three nights at a time. Mrs. Richardson declared this was false as her child took the breast, and the prisoner hadC never been a mother. Win. Battey, police constable A 318, said, from a description given by the mother of the child at the station-house, he took the prisoner into custody in Red Lion-street, Holborn. He told her he took her on a charge of stealing a child. She said, " How could I steal it 1 it was entrusted to my care." Ho said that did not matter, and he must take her to the station-house. She then said that the child was dead and buried. She said that Dr. Hart, of Union street, Spitaihelds, was the medical man who at tended it, and that it was buried in Victoria-park Cemetery. He had made inquiries of Dr. Hart, and ho believed that the substance of that statement was true. He attended a child answering to the age of the missing child for measles, and when it died he gave a certificate that it died of pneumonia. While the prisoner was in the House of Ddten tion she sent the following letter to the grandmother of the child—the orthography being corrected : " Daar friend,—l write these few lines to you to in form you with the particulars of the child. I went to li7e at Mrs. Lofthouse,.6o, Winlord.street, and there the child was taken ill, and I went to Mr. Hart, the doctor, and be gave me some medicine for the child, and I told him that tiis child's name was Johanna Emmirson, and the next day she got worse, and I sant for Mr. IL • rt, and he came to see her, and he told me that she had the measles. And he came to see her every day. The child died on tho Saturday morning, at hall-past six, on the 7th or Bth of August last, and se was buried on the Tuesday after, and I wont and got the register of her death from Mr. Hart, and then I told him her name was Richardson, and tkat it was in Union-street, Spitalfields, and the register of her birth I got in Gun-street—l think that is the name of the street, in Union-street, at a carpenter's shop, and there I said her name was Johanna Richardson ; and I said my name R was Mary ichardson, as her mother, and I went to see her before she was screwed down ; and I followed her to the ground, and saw her buried in the Victoria Cemetery. The number of the grave is 33 or 36. Now, dear friend, there is all the full particulars about the child; and if they dig the grave up, there is a white coffin in the grave, and I think little angels is on the top of it, and she has got on her shift and long white bedgown, and a pair of white socks on her feet. If, dear friend, you can go to Mrs. Lofthouse, 60, Winford street, you ask her if she remembers giving the child some water and milk. Now, dear friend, I have told you all the particulars. Now, remember your poor un fortunate friend, " ELEANOR MARGARET EIIIIERRON, " House of Deten. ion. " Mrs. Lovett, 9, Poole's-buildings, Mount pleasant, Clerkenwell." In answer to a number of questions put in a very feeling manner to the mother by Mr. Creasy as to whether she was satisfied that the child had received proper treatment, she said that she was by no means satisfied that it had, or that the child which had been buried was actually hers, she had aFce. t fined that its clothes had been taken by a man with whom the prisoner cohabited on the day before its death to a " leaving shop," and she added that she should be ever grateful if his worship would order the child to be dug up, so that she might be satisfied, if possible, that it VIA s hers, as she thought she would be able to recognise it by a particular mark. She bad also learned that the child had cried very much at the house where the prisoner went to lodge, and the landlady told her that the prisoner had put it to the breast, although she (the penciller) had never been a mother, and she attributed the death of the child to the want of proper nourish ment. Mr. Creasy said he could not see, as the child had been buried in August, how the mother could be assisted if they recommended to the proper autho rities that an exhumation of the body should take place, although the court had every disposition to assist the poor woman in any way that it could. The learned judge then summed up, and read to the jury the clause under which the indictment was framed (9th Geo. IV., cap. 31, sec. 21), and left it to them to say whether the prisoner had, within the meaning of the statute, deprived the mother of the poiseision of the child. The jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Creasy, after conferring with the magistrates on the bench, said that it was the unanimous opi nion of the court that a worse case of the kind could not occur, which he believed was the opinion of every one present - , except the prisoner herself. The law gave the court a discretionary power as to the amount of punishment to be awarded in such cage 4, and regarding this as one of the worst description, he felt it to be his duty to pass upon the prisoner the full term the law allowed, which was that she be kept in penal servitude for seven years. The prisoner heard the sentence without the least concern. _ _ _ Bernard Edward Bellard surrendered to take his trial upon a chargeof having assaulted John Henry Bush, an American seaman, in a coffee-house, by stliking him on the head with a carbine. He was found guilty, after a long trial, and sentenced to six months' hard labour. Mr. Mew was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton for the defence. A young man, an assistant to a chemist at Shad well, was indicted for stealing ls. 6d., the money of his employer. He was acquitter]. Mr. Mew prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalfe was for the prisoner. _ John Herbert Turner was called upon to surren der to a charge of indecent conduct in the Adelphi arches ; but he did not appear, and his recogni ances, himself in 2001. and two sure_ ties of 1001. each, were estreated. Each day of the session the juries complained of the windows of the court being set open, and the complaint was so far attended to that the windows to which they called attention were closed, but others were as soon opened elsewhere, by which the evil was not diminished but rather increased. The construction of the court is such that proper ventilation would be extremely difficult of accom lishment, but open windows, above and below, particularly in such weather as the present, make it, as one of the jurymen said, "anything but a joke." POLICE INTELLIGENCE —lan. G. committing tnitting a M ANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Plowman, a labourer, was charged before the Lord Mayor with the master of the (a great many London Union Work house. City of savage assault upon Mr. Saunders, houw... Mr. Humphreys, jun.,the Board of Guardiansinstructed by of whom were present), appeared for the prosecution.rnai:ly Theprosecutor, whose and lacerated, and who face ll r was twodreadfully frightful ru blacki s ed ma s« r of the City 1 eye?, was sworn, and said— Ile Mary-axe. of London' Union Workhouse a T Akut ow _ road. -y -‘,l.t.waa terday, in the execution of my attend ing the Board of Guardians at duty I know the prisoner perfectly well. mate of our workhouse y es t er d ay inoruitt sv g, " and an w in „: discharged by an orde r o f t h e committee' dittel the-- day previous. A man na me d Wilcox discharged himself at the same time. I l e ft th e b oard about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was in the act of getting into the van to return to Bow, when the prisoner and Wilcox suddenly carne from under the horses' heads. The prisoner said to Wilcox, '" Here's the --, Charley, give it him." He im mediately flew at me, and began to strike me on the face. I stepped back a few paces into the mid dle of the road and defended myself as well as I could. They closed upon me, threw me down, and I was severely kicked in the chest and left breast. The prisox ier grabbed my face with his open hand and tried to tear my eyes out of their sockets. They' gave me repeated blows in eyes. A man who was pa ssing came to my assistance, when the prisoner called out to him, « Let the - alonP, you don't know who he is." He again called out, " Give it him , Charley," and they both continued to strike me' in the face until a man who is now in court interfered, and prevented their doing me any further injury; On the previous day I had made a statement to the Board of Guardians, in the pri soner's presence., to the effectthat he had not availed himself of two otY.ers of employment out of doors, and it was in consequence of that communication that the committee had' ordered him to be dis charged from the workhouse. I did not touch him before he struck me, an.sl I then only defended my self. The Lord Mayor asked the prisoner whether he wished to put any question to the witness ? Prisoner—l asked him how he could swear falsely against me, and he made me no reply, upon which I struck him. The prosecutor denied this statement. Mr. Humphreys now calleda man named Patrick Towhay for the purpose of corroborating the evi dence of the prosecutor. The man, however, was considerably the worse for liquor, and The Lord Mayor refused to allow him to be sworn. Mr. Humphreys then applied that the prisoner might be remanded, and a warrant issued for the apprehensionof Wilcox. - Prisoner—Wilcox 13 down stairs. He wishes to give himself into custody. He followed me here from the station•house. The Lord Mayor sent the constable who had the charge of the prisoner to take Wilcox into custody, if he was still outside the court. The constable returned and said he was not to be found. Prisoner—He went to the station-house last night to give himself up, but the sergeant told him ho would not take the charge. The prisoner was then remanded. One of the guardians stepped forward and said— Wilcox came to my house at 9 o'clock last night, and said he required a lodging. I told him he had the house to go to, upon which he said, "1 won't break your windows to-day, but I will be given in charge. I won't leave you till you give roe in charge." He then gave me a violent blow in the face, and went away. Sometimes he has come to me with a knife hanging on the outside of his trou sers, no doubt for the purpose of intimidating me. He generally selects Christmas-day and Sunday for his visits. The Lord Mayor—You shall have all the protec tion that we can possibly give you. I hope to have him here before long, as I understand he is known to the police. Mr. Humphreys then brought under his lord ship's notice a complaint of incivility preferred by several of the guardians against the sergeant at the police-station, when they attended with Mr. Saun ders to enter the charge against Plowman. The matter was referred by the Lord Mayor to the Police Commissional s for investigation. Mrs. Mary Ferrara, assistant at the King's Held Tavern, 25, Poultry, appeared iu answer to a sum mons which charged her with having unlawfully assaulted Mr. Frederick Davis, of the same estab lishment. Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, appeared in support of the summons, and Mr. Sayers attended on the part of the defeudAnt. The complainant said—l took the King's Head Tavern in the Poultry, at a certain rent, which I pay to a Mr. Hodges. The defendant was there when I entered, about five weeks ago, and has con tinued there ever since. I never engaged to pay her any wages, and she has remained there against my will. Mr. Hodges told me that she was to stay if no soul ever came into the place. I wanted her to leave hecau.sa she was always accusing the ser vants of stealing, and I did not like it. On Satur day last, while taking to Mr. Hodges, I heard her mention my name, and I asked her what it was about? She replied, "It's about you," using a filthy word. She called me everything but a gentleman ; she spat in my face three times ; she took up a carving-knife and swore she would have it through my head before the day was out. If I had not suddenly bobbed my licad, the knife would have struck my face. My business calls me to the King's Head every day, but I am afraid to go there lest she might carry her threats into executicn. I am in bodily fear of her. Cross-examined by Mr. Sayers—Before I was connected with the King's Head I was a green grocer. Mr. Hodges is the proprietor of the house. In the agreement which you show me, and, which I entered into with Mr. Hodges it is specified that he should have the whole control of the servants. The Lord Mayor—There are legal means of en forcing an agreement. Mr. Sayers—l will show that the statement of this witness is wholly untrue. Cross-examination continued—l did say to the defendant, "It's a pity you drink so much ; you got into such a temper," I did not call her a low drunken creature. I told Mr. Hodges, but not in her presence, that she had drunk six or eight glaesei of brandy th it morning. I told him the truth, for she had had one gless of ale, throe glasses of stout, four glasses of sherry, and six drops of brandy. The Lord Mayor—That is rather a large quantity and rather an expensive indu l gence. Ides she pay for what she drinks? Complainant—Pay J no, my lord. She said to me at the time, " You don't pay for it." The Lord Mayor—Can she get what she likes without paying for it ? Complainant—Most decidedly, my lord. Mr. Hodges asked me twice to go out of her sight, and then her temper would get better. Cross-examination continued—She told me I deserved to have the knife stuck into me, not that she would do it ; and added that if she were a man she would kick me out of the house. Re-examined—l have been told that the defen dant is Mr. Hodges's daughter. J. Collins, a waiter at the establishment, cor• roborated the statement of the complainant. Mr. Sleigh, upon this evidence requested that the defendant might be bound over to keep the peace. Mr. Sayers—l will undertake to show that the complainant himself was the cause of the quarrel. It was her du , y to protect the property of the pro prietor, which she was endeavouring to do when this altercation began. I can prove that she never spat at him. It is not true that she called him the filthy name he mentioned. The Lord Mayor—The complainant swears he is in bodily fear, and therefore it is my duty to bind her over to keep the peace. Mr. Sayers—She Ins not the least objection to being bound over. Mr. Hodges wi►l be her surety. As she is married her husband would be the proper surety. Will he not come forward ? ' Mr. Sayers—She is parted from her husband by a deed of separation. I submit that it is sufficient that she should enter into her own recognisance. There is something in the background connected with this matter of .whici your lordship is not aware. The Lord Mayor—That is an additional reason why I should have a surety. The defendant's father became her surety, and the parties left the court. BOW-STREET.—William Harradine, a man of the appearance of a labourer, was charged with ob taining money by representing himself to be the turncock of the New River Company—applying for Christmas-boxes in that capacity. William Hancock, servant at 23, Tavistock square, sworn—On Saturday, the 26th, the defen dant applied to me for the turncocled Christmas box. I said, " You are not the turncock." He replied, "I am doing his duty to-day, and he has authorised me to collect his Christmas-boxes." I gave him Is. , and he went away. Henry Hock, the turncock, deposed that ho lid not so authorised the defendant, who was in fact a perfect stranger to him. The same tuck had been played in about forty cases, a man, whom he be lieved to be the prisoner, having caltea at that num ber of houses and applied for a Christmas-box re presenting himself to bo the turncock. Witness had given information to the police, and t.y- he description given by the persons from whom money has ben obtained, the prisoner was apprehended by Ser gemt Ellorton, of the E division. THURSDAY EVNNING, He was remanded for further examination. LAMBETH.—AIfred Feist, taskmaster of the Newington Workhouse, was charged with having unlawfully taken away the dead body of a certain female, named Mary Whitehead, with intent to sell au dispose of it for gain and profit. Mr. Robinson, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Chester, attended to prosEctrte ; Mr. Joyce, ad vised by Mr. iielsham, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Robinson stated the case at considerable length. Mrs. Lltrisa Mixer was then called and sworn— She said she was the wife of John Mixer, and resided at No. 30, Pitt-street, St. George's-road, Southwark. Oa the Gth Of °augur, 1855, she went Stith her mother, Mary WhiteheA to the Newing ton Workhouse, where she remained up to the time ?1 her death which took place on the 30th January last• She call e d at the workhouse on the day be fore her death death, a n d saw her mother, and on the day of death she also saw her. She then asked the defendant Mr. 11 Fe!st, if more than one person could f o l low her mother to the grave ; he replied that they could askedl 4 l E?n the payment of ls. 6d. each. She als o but referred h er Saturday or Monday following, when she would be buried, and he replied on the to Mr. Hogg, the pariah wider taker, and that person said the funeral would take place on the Monday. On the Monday she (wit ness) p-ccompanied her sister to the workhouse, and seeing Mr. Feist them, she told him sh e wa nt o d t o sec the body of her mother, Mrs. Whitehead. She proceeded with her sister to the dead-home, where she found both Feist and Hogg. Mr. Feist took the lid off one of the coffins there and told her not to go too pear, but she went near enough to see that it was their mother in the coffin. Mr. Feist told them to withdraw to the waiting-room, and in about half-an-hour told them to come and get into the coach. They did so, and followed the hearse to Mde-end, supposing at the time they were fol lowing the remains of their mother. At the burial place two coffins were taken from the hearse and buried. and she was under the impression all the time that one of those coffins contained the remains of her mother. The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Joyce, but the learned gentle man elicited nothing material in favour of his client. Mr. Robinson here called the undertaker, Robt. Hogg, its a witness, and on that person getting into the witness-box, and when about to be sworn, Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, interposed, and said that he had attended for that person when about to be examined before the Poor-law Inspector re specting the disposal of these bodies, and was told that uo ulterior proceeding should be adopted, and it was under this promise that he was induced to make the statement he had done. Yet in violation of that promise he was now summoned to give evidence in the present case. Mr. Robinson said that Hogg was summoned to give evidence in the present case, and whether he did so or not mattered very little tc, him ; but if ho refused to do so, he (Mr. Robi nson ) k new w h a t course he should adopt. Mr. Elliott observed that the witness had been properly summoned, but it would be his duty to inform him that he was not bound to say anything that would criminate himself. The witness having been sworn, said he was an undertaker, and lived at 89, St. George's-road, Southwark, and had been employed as undertaker for the parish of St. Mary's, Newington. The bill produced was iu his handwriting, and was his quarterly account in the beginning of the year for the burials done by him for the palish of Newing ton. In that bill there was a charge for the burial of Mary Whitehead, though he had removed the body of that person from Newington Workhouse to Guy's Hospital. He charged for the burial of bodies taken to the hospital the same as if they had really been interred, because ho never knew or had been told that he was not to do so. The body of Mary Whitehead was taken to the hospital on the 2d of February._ Mr. Eiliott—That is the day on which you charge for the burial. Would you have male the stria charge if the body had been buried or taken to the hospital ? Hogg—l: should. Mr. Elliott—Do you invariably charge the same under such circumstances ? Witness—lnvariably. - The witness proceeded to say that from instruc tions he received from the defendant, ho received the necessary document from. the inspector under the Anatomy Act for the removal of the body of Mary Whitehead to the Guy's Hospital, having just carried the necessary certificate from Mr. Feist t~ the inspector. The papers produced were the same as he had received. Mr. Robinion—Now, seeing these documents, and supposing it was a sham funeral, and after taking the body to Guy's Hospital, cannot you tell the court what was in the coffin ? Hogg—l cannot. There might have been two bodies in the house when there ought to have been three. It was my duty to see the right number of bodies come out of the dead-house. Mr. Robinson—What do you mean by telling us that there might have been three bodies to come out when only two really came, and that the third was left for anatomic d purposes ? Witness—l never go to the cemetery with parochial funerals. I leave it to my men, who get the names of the out-door paupers from me ; those of the in-door paupers from the master of the work house. When I have gone down of a morning and found four or five to be buried, Mr. Foist has told me to leave certain of them. Mr. Robinson—Have you ever known an in stance when some body has been substituted for another in the dead-house ? Witness—l have ; but I cannot say in how many instances. Mr. Robinson—You mean the substitution of bodies or parts of bodies for others ? How often? Witness—Ten or fifteen times within the last twelve months. Mr. Robinson—On these occasions has Mr. Foist been with you ? Witness—Yes. It was done by direction of Mr. Feist ; but these were bodies or parts of bodies brought from the hospital for the purpose of iutor men,. Mr. Robinson here remarked that it wai the duty of the ho , pital to send the remains of holies dis sected direct the place of interment, and not to the wor khouse. Mr. Elliott—Then I suppose the bodies or puts of bodies taken from the hospital to tie workhouse are substituted for other bodies there, and the latter kept at the workhouse to be disposed of by the master of the workhouse or the undertaker, or both ? The witness admitted that it was so. The wit ness also admitted that the coffins sent by him to the hospital were precisely the same as these fur nished to the workhouse. When the bodies or parts of bodies were put into the coffins at the lies pit tl, the former were nailed clown before ho took them from there to the workhouse. Ile never knew an instance to the contrary. Mr. Robinson—Then there was a substitution of a body, c)flin and all, at the workhouse instead of a body only ? tness—Yes. Mr. Robinson—And instead of relations follow ing the body of a friend as they suppose, they fol low the remains of some other person ? Wituess—Yes ; but Mr. Feist often told him that the persons in attendance were no relatives of the deceased, but merely came there for a ride. Mr. Robinson—Have you ever received any money from Mr. Feist Wituesi—None whatever. _ In cross-examination by Mr. Joyce the witness said that in removing bodies from the hospital he d.d so under the warrant of the medical inspector. Everything in that respect was done in accordance with the provisions of the act. The sum he was allowed by the parish for pauper burials was ss. 6d. for adults and 3s. 6d. for children . H e sent i n a tender to do it at those prices. Mr. Gannon, a surgeon, proved his cer tifi ca t e o f Mary Whitehead's death, which had b een fill e d up on the 2d of February, and signed by him. parish, was next called to prov e th e s i gnature of tha Mr. Herring, one of the relieving officers of the defendant to the notice of removal to the inspector, dated the Ist Feb. Mr. Alfred Poland, one of the teachers of ana tomy at Guy's hospital, produced a return of the reception of the bodies at the h osp i tal, the time at which it was received, an d the warrant o f i ts re moval obtained from Feist. Mr. Mark Shaddock, an accountant at Guy's Hospital, said that in the year 1856 he h3d paid the defendant 19/. 10k, and in 1857 261. for his trouble in making out the certificates and returns. Mr. Robinsen—ls that iu relation to bodies ? witness—No, I know nothing about bodies ? that is not in my department. I paid him these amounts for the reports that are made to me. I cannot say how many bodies these amounts refer to. The amount is made up of something under 10s. f,r each certificate. lam not prepared to say it is 10s. for each body sent f,r. In cross-Exami nation, the witness said he had made these pay ments to Feist as a gratuity i n the same way as Mr. Bit" deposed t o F eist being a servan t o f th e parish, and having no authority whatever horn the he had paid PreTi ous masters since 1849. officers to dispose of bodies, after which Mr. Robin son applied for a remand, which Mr. Elliott ac ceded to, admittin g the defendant to bail, himself in 401., and two sureties in 201. each, to appear on a future day. -- Catherine Crawl ey, Catherine tionlaha.n, and Geo.

Mr. Selfe in qu i redtof Inspector Griffin as to the condition of d ecessed ' s widow. The Inspector replied that she was left with three children, but lie did not know whether or not she was de s tit ute of the means o f support. O n the death of every p oliceman a penny was subscribe i by each memb er of the force, and thi s pro d uce d about 211.

Mr. Sleigh con d ucted the prosecution, and Mr. damage to a saloon Lewis appeared for the defendant. On the afternoon of Boxing-day the saloon omni bus, driven by a man name d F renc h, an occasional driver, started on it s j ou rney from Putney-br . i d . ge, 1113 defendant abiut half a min u t e . O n re aching the coiner of having preceded it with his omnibus Bridge-street, leading to Church-street, the defen dant stopped, and the saloon omnibus passed him, but at the corner of Church-street French stopped his vehicle. After remaining there for a minute the saloon started, and he was followed by the defen dant. On nearing the shop of Mr. Flicker, butcher, outside of which stood the proprietor's cart, the defendant sprang his horses to the side of the saloon, and, the thoroughfare being very narrow, there was not room for him to pass between the cart and the saloon. The consequence was that the defendant's wheal the off side wheel of the saloon, and forced it upon the pavement. It then struck the other wheel, and drove the pole of the saloon against a house, and French was thrown off the box and injured. For the defence it was urged that the defendant's omnibus was first in passing up Church-street, and that before the colli-don the near wheel of the sa loon was upon the pavement, and French, in endea vouring to pass, caused the defendant to come in contact with him, and that the occurrence was purely accidental. Mr. Ingham inquired if the defendant had been punished before. Defendant said he had driven for several years and had never been summoned before. I Mr. Ingham thought the case of careless driving , proved, and said, as he had not been punished be fore, he would not inflict the full penalty. Ele fined him 405., and also the 205., the amount of the damage. The money was immediately paid. GREENWICH.—Thos. Goswell, a carman in the employ of Messrs. Cockerell, coal merchants, Blackfriars ; and Chas. Moss, ostler at the New Cross Inn, Deptford, were charged, on remand, before Mr. Seeker—the former with stealing, and the latter with feloniously receiving a quantity of horses' provender. From the evidence of detective officers Crouch and Brown, It division, it appeared that on Satur day afternoon they saw Goswell take a bag from his coal van, when Moss called him into the stables with it. Suspecting that it was the horses' food which was being illegally disposed of, they listened, and Brown heard Moss bargain to give Goswell 4d. and a pot of beer ; shortly after which Goswell left the stables with the sack he had taken in emptied. On being informed that they were two constables and had seen hin► dispose of the corn to Moss, the ostler, he confessed to the fact, and said he was a poor fellow from the country, and should not have done so but for the persuasion of the ostler. On the stables being searched, about a bushel and a half of oats were found in a cement cask, and other pro vender in another part. Mr. G. Rtissell Cockerel), jun., said that as it was considered the ostler was the most to blame, and me❑ of his Bass were in the habit of tempting carmen to rob, it was not the wish that ho (Gos well) should be severely punished. Mr. Seeker asked if auy one was present to speak to the other corn found iu the stable ? The officer Brown said he had taken samples of it to Messrs. Simmons and Motton's, millers, West minster, whose vans stayed at the same house, and it was the opinion it formed a portion served out to their men. A person had promised to attend, but was not then present. Mr. Seeker remarked the offence with which the prisoners were charged was of so aggravated a cha racter that he should have considered it his duty to commit 0,5 prisoners for trial but fur the fact that the prosecutors were of opinion Goswell had been tempted by the ostler to commit the robbery. He then ordered Moss to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months, and Goswell to pay a fine of 31. or to be imprisoned one month. THE ROBBERY ON £3,111 FROM THE MAIN , WIESTER CORN EXCHANGE. On Tuesday afternoon, at the Manchester City Sessions, before Mr. R. B. Armstrong, Q.C., Recorder, Charles Browness, a foreigner, pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging liAn with having, at the Corn Exchange in Manchester, on the 10th ult., stolen a pocket-book containing 3,1111. 18s , in notes, lolls, &0., the property of William Thompson and another. The prosecutors are Messrs. Wm. and Frederick Thompson, trad ing under the firm of Messrs. James Thompson and Son, as corn millers, at Wakefield. Mr. Sowler conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wheeler ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. Frederick Thomp son, from whose desk in the Corn Exchange the money was stolen, was first examined, and he was followed by Mr. Thomas Thorpe and Sergeant Shandley. The facts of the case must be in the remembrance of our readers, especially from ti:e cleverness of the capture of the thief by Shandley and Thoipe ; and the evidence given on Tuesday was a:most verbally the same as that which we published after the examination of the prisoner before the magistrate. After the wit nesses named had given their evidence, Mr. WheLdersakrhe had watched the case closely; but it appeared to him that the evidence agaiLst the pri , ion,, , r was, so to speak, so overflowing, that it would be impwsible for him to contend against i t. Tho Recorder—l am quite of that opinion ; and ' the jury, I should think, must be so t Jo. Mr. Wheeler—l propose, then, sir, that the pri soner shall wielelraw his plea, and submit to the iudiettnent. The Recorder—You had better submit to take a veatLct at once. This was assented to ; and a verdict of guilty was retained. Mr. Sowler said that, on behalf of the prosecu tor In was instructed to say, that that gentleman had no wish whatever to press for a vindictive or he tvys,nitence. The prosecutor had recovered all his money ; he was, therefore, all the better satisfied with the investigations so ably conducted by the police; and beyoud that he had no wish to press upon the court for anything like a severe punish ment. Mr. Wheeler said that from the very moment when the prisoner made the stateinen,t to Shand ley, and which had also been spoken to, in effect, by Mr. Thompson, he had never disguised his guilt; indeed, he Lad aced under advice in allowing the case to proceed to this point, in order that the Court might bo put in possession of facts which it was his duty to urge in the prisoner's behalf. He was assured that the prisoner was not only of ex ceedingly respectable, but, in truth and in fact, of noble c onnections ; and that, in addition, he was married and had five children. When he spoke to the prisoner a few minutes previously, he at once assented to the suggestion that lie should plead guilty ; but he begged him to do what he could with the Court in mit gation of sentence ; " not," to use his own language, "for my own sake, but fcr that of my five children." Seeing these things —considering that the prisoner might have yielded to a sudden temptation on observing so much pro perty exposed—and remembering that the prosecu tor was good enough to say he desired the prisoner should be mercifully dealt with—he trusted that the Recorder would, as far as was consisteut with hi s public duty, pass a lenient sentence up on th e prisoner. The Recorder—l can understand that the prose cutor, having got back-his money, feels no malice against the prisoner ; but I have nothing to do with motives or feelings of that kind. You are a man of gentlemanly appearance and good mermen% You get access into this Corn Exchange without, so far as appears, having any business there ; arid I cannot doubt that you went for the purpose, and no other, of picking up anything you could pos sibly obtain. The large am oun t o f the moneyyou stole is, with me, no ingredi en t i n my decision as to your sentence. Ido not supp ose that you knew what you had got, but I do believe that you were roady to take anything. I think, therefore, that I ought not to, and that I cannot with propriety, pass a lighter sentence upon you than that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the gaol of this city for one year. The sentence was rec3ived with applause by the occupants of the gallery, but it was soon sup preoed. The prisoner is a gentlemanly-looking man, with the appearance of being oldi , r than he is described in the calendar (28 years). He was plainly but re spectably dressed, with a light overcoat closely but toned round the neck. Dunng the evidence he stood with his bands stiffly beside him, and his eyes were cbmd, except at short intervals, when he slightly opened them and looked towards the wit ness-lrix. He seemed scarcely conscious; but after his counsel had spoken with him on the subjoct of pleading guilty, h,s face flushed, and he had more than once to wipe away tears that started to his eyes. He heard his sentence without further emotion. It will be remembered that immediately after the robbery, Mr. Thompson offered a reward of 2001. for its recovery and the conviction of the thief ; and as the capture was effec. ed by oue of the City pace, the amount when paid was at the disposal of the watch committee. The division that has bevn made ty the wtoch committee is as fellows : To S:rcreant Shandley, 951. ; to Mr.. T. Thorpe, who renZied very'valuabh, , services i_, the capture, 951. ; to the sta►tion-master at Orsdal-lane, who Pointed out the carriage into which the prisoner had just 5/. ; divided amongst several detective Officers, who started on the search at the same time as Shandley, but had no part in the capture, or any thing tint led to it, W.—Manchester Guardian.

THE LATE MADLLE. BACHEL. - - The year 1858 has scarcely commenced, and already it has carried off the greatest theatrical artist of modern timer. Ml:e. Racl;el was barn ie March, 1820, at the little Swiss village of Mud', during one of the profes eiOnal tours of her parents, who were Jew hawkers, named Fdlix, gaining a livelihood - y periodically visiting various towns in Germany and Switzerland. The family at last settled in Lyons, and in 1830 came to reside in Paris. Sarah, the eldest girl, was accustomed tossing at the various cafoi to the accompaniment of an old guitar, while little Rachel went from table to table collecting the offerings of the kindly-dispoaed. It is said that on one of these occasions the little wanderers attracted the notice of M. Choron, the founder of the Institution for the study of Sacred Music, and he made arrangemen t s for admitting them among his pupils, taking charge more particularly of Rachel. After a short experiment, how ever, he found that the sonorous organ of the young girl was better suited for declamatory expression than for music, and he transferred her as a pupil to M. St. Aulaire, who enjoyed at the time a high reputation as a dramatic instructor. For four years that gentleman un weariedly pursued his task and laboured incessantly to implant in the mind of hie pupil a true conception of the big hestclassical characters, such as Hermione, Iphigeiiie, and Phedre ; she at the time " infinitely preferring the Dorines, Lisettes, and Philadaintes of Moliere. In the course of titan her performance in Andromaque, at a private representation, was coLsidered by some theatri• cal dignitaries so admirable that by their good offices she was admitted to the Conservatoire, and in October, 1836, joined the class conducted by Michelot. Her studies were interrupted by au offer of 3,000 f. a-year at the Gymnase, and on the 24th April, 1837, she made her debut in a piece written expressly for her, called "La Vendeenne." It appears beyond doubt that she did not produce any great sensation in the part, and Mlle. Rachel seems to have not again appeared pro minently before the public until the 12th June, 1838, when she performed Camille in " Lee Horaces" at the/ Theatre-Fran2ais, her engagement at the Gymnase hay ing been resiliated by mutual consent. She had for some months being studying under Samson, who always predicted her great success. The Parisian critics were startled by her powerful acting and by the originality of her conceptions, and, above all, by a certain concentrated power of expression which thrilled to the very soul of the hearer. In the winter of that year she also performed the parts of Emilie in " Cinna," An naide in " Tancreds," Eryphile in "Iphi genie," and Monime in "Mithridate." It was afterwards that she added Roxane in " Bajazet," Pauline in " Polyeucte," and the chief part in " Phedre." Her popularity sprang to its higtest point almost instanta neously, and no better proof ca 'a be adduced of the fact than the circumstance of her salary, which was 4,000 f. the first year, being 20,000 f. in the second. In after years her inco.ne varied from 300,000 f. to 400,0001., according to the number of representation, which she gave during her annual conge"--in her case, of several months' duration. In course of time, she exiended hers repertoire by the representation of parts in modern works, and attracted crowded aud , ences by her performance in de Bell-Isle- Adrienne L - couvreur, Louise de Lignorolles, Lady Tartufe, &c. Up to her very last season she continued to study regularly, and strong proof of her progress was to be found in the successive changes and very decided im provements which took place in her enactment of the part of Phedre, always, no doubt, a great performance, but in latter years beyond comparison :a finer and more finished representatio n than it was when first attempted. Never of a strong constitution, Mile. Rachel gradually found the arduous labour of her profession to affect her health, and at last to lead to the illness which has now cut off this great actress so prematurely in the 37th year of her age.
