THE NAVY. The Centaur, 6, paddle' frigate, Capt. J. C. Clif ford, G. 8., arrived at Spithead on Thursday night.- She left Naples on the 17th ult., arrived at Gibral tar on the 23d, and left again on the 26th. She brought home about 20 convicts from Gibraltar whose terms have expired • she experienced strong easterly gales in the Bay Of Biscay, in which she re ceived considerable damage to her bulwarks, &c., and . hove to for some time , but the wind not a-bating, she proceeded for Spithead, which she left yester day afternoon for Devonport. On thd 30th ult. she spoke the steamship Derwent, off Cape _Ortegal, bound for England. The committee of investigation on dockyard eco nomy, consisting of Rear-Admiral R. Smart, K.H.; Mr. R. Laws, storekeeper at Chatham dockyard ; Mr. H. Chatfield, master shipwright at Deptford dockyard ; and Mr. A. Murray, chief engineer at Sheerness dockyard, arrived at Chatham on Thurs day evening, and yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, commenced their investigation into the system and arrangements carried out in the various establish ments connected with Chatham dockyard, in which duty they were occupied during the whole day, the heads of departments and the various officers be longing to the dockyard affording the committee every assistance. A number ...a hands were yesterday engaged in trimming the keel and laying doWx the blocks for the construction of the new 91-gun ship Anson, or dered to be commenced on the slip from which the Edgar was launched a few days ago at Woolwich. The dimensions are to,be precisely similar to those of the Agamemnon. The following . appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :-- Assistant-Surgeons—Francis W. Davis to the Impreg nable • Garland W. L. Harrison cacting), to the Devasta tion; 'Duncan M'N. Johnston (acting), to the Imaum. Assistant-Paymaster—Henry J. Ray, to the Royal Albert. THE It is now positively understood that a fifth bat talion will be added to the Rifle Brigade early in the spring, and that the numerous rifle militia re giments now embodied; and to be then called out for training, will be called on to volunteer for the corps. A very disgraceful system of desertion from the army, and enlistment from one corps into another, for the sake of the intermediate bounty, has been discovered to prevail, and there is good reason to suppose that upwards of 6,000 men have accepted her Majesty's bounty, first in one regiment and then in another. Lieut.-General Sir H. Smith, at a recent inspection of troops near Preston, expressed his opinion that fully that number of men were pursuing the system. Her Majesty's Government, in order to put a stop to it, have increased the re ward for the restoration of a deserter from 10s. to 20s. THE MILITIA. The whole of the artillery regiments of militia are to be embodied for permanent duty. The corps will be employed to strengthen the garrisons now stationed in the forts along the coast. COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. The following proposal has been submitted to Lord Stanley as Secretary of State for India : " Oct. 4. " Myr,Lord,—We ask permission to refer to the correspondence submitted to your lordship on the 10th of August last, in which we state our readi ness to enter into a contract with her Majesty's Go vernment for a permanent transport service to India, either by way of Suez or the Cape of Good Hope. " This service we propose to perform by means of eight screw steamships belonging to the European and American Steamship Company (Limited), sail ing punctually once a month on a stated day from Southampton, and leaving Calcutta in like manner once a month, touching at the Cape of Good Hope, going and returning, on every voyage. " The interview with which your lordship recently favoured Mr. O'Beirne, representing our house, en abled that gentleman to explain to your lordship the princi•ple on which we proposed to perform this service. We now beg to state in writing, for the information of the Council, the leading features of our proposition. " We have the control of the eight screw steam ships above mentioned, each of the average tonnage of 2,300 tons, and 300-horse power; they are iron ships, built by Mare and Co., and the engines by Maudslay, Sons, and Field. Two of these ships are now on their way to India with troops, one is on her way home from India, and the other five are now in the Victoria Docks. " Three of those now in dock are ready for imme diate service ; the others can be put into a state of perfecf efficiency at the shortest notice, the whole fleet having last year undergone the most thorough overhaul, at a cost to the company of upwards of £160,000, or £20,000 for each vessel. " They are sister ships, and can carry between decks 600 soldiers, with the usual requirements for. hospital and other accommodation. " The character which this fleet has earned for itself during the whole period of the Crimean war, and subsequently during the last 15 months, in transporting troops tolndia, must be so well known to your lordship as to render it unnecessary to make any remarks as to their admitted fitness and capa bility for the speedy and comfortable conveyance of large b3dies of troops on distant voyages. " The establishment of a regular steam commu nication with India, via the Cape of Good Hope cannot fail to have arrested the attention of your lordship and the Council as a matter of vital im portance, both in a military and commercial point of view, in its_ political bearing upon the future of India. It will °require some time, however, for such communicalion to be established without the aid, of a postal colitraet, or without sonic arrange ment being entered= into by her Majesty's Go vernment that will' secure a certain income against the heavy outlay contingent upon such com munication. With eight ships we possess the ne cessary surplusage of tonnage to ensure regular de partures, even in case of accident. With a lesser number a slight derangement of machinery or an occasional long passage would prevent the desirable and most important regularity. This security an' t2 ainst interruption in the performance of the ser vice is one which no other owners of steamers can command "Provided we can obtain from the Council for India a contract or undertaking by which they will be hound for three years to ship to Calcutta or Midras on or before a fixed day of each month not less than 600 men by each ship, for each departure from Southampton, at a price to be agreed upon, and not less than 200 invalids from Calcutta or Madras at a lesser price, also to be agreed upon, we will undertake— " 1. To despatch one of the abovenamed ships on a fixed day of each month to India from Southamp ton and the same from Calcutta , touching each way at the Cape of Good Hope. f‘ 2. The ships to be kept in good working order, both as to machinery and hull, to the satisfaction of the surveyors of the Board of Trade. " 3. The men to be provisioned at our cost, ac cording to the scale of the Hon. the East India Company. " 4. One hundred tons of freight room in excess of the room required for the equipment of the men to be at the disposal of the Council at rilow rate of freight, to be agreedupon, both outwards and home wards, for the conveyance of ammunition and ac coutrements, or othe •needful freight • but notice must be giv en of their requiring ' this space 10 days before the departure of the ship. i‘ 5.: A certain amount of cabin accommodation will he - in like manner and with like notice reserved for military officers and )21 /oyrs at a reduced rate for passage below what We shall ordinarily charge to, the public. 41 We_ will undertake to charge to the public 25 per'eefit: lower rates for passage than what is now charged by the overland route. ." 7. We will convey Calcutta or Madras to the Cape of Good Hope,l from m xclusive of the 200 above stipulated for, to the x xc e e nt t of the 'tween a reasonable deck space, free of all charge per diem charge for their maintenance. $g 8. In the event of our obtaining a postal con tract from Southampton to the Cape, 61e half o such contract w ill be p laced to the credi t of or pai d j. over to the Council of India. ." The question of price and other points which may occur "to your lordship, or to the Council, are left open for negotiation or arrangement. W e my however, be permitted to remark that, if the pri n ciple of out'Proposition be Incepted, we are prepared to fix the price for the services to be performed, and will be disposed to accommodate ourselves to any other views or requirements as for the same may be practicable. - • " As so large an amount of valuable shipping property cannot remain lorag in idleness, we would beg of your lordship to favour us As ith an early.. i de• cision on the subject, so t hat we ma be flee, n case of our proposition being unfavourably received, to accept of other business we have in view. " It i s useless to add that we hold ourselves at your disposal, and at the disposal of the Council, in-case an interview. may be eesirable.—We have the 'honour to be, &c., " CROSKEY AND CO. " The Right Hon. Lord Stanley, M.P,; Secretary of State for India, East . India-house." METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. A general meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas, GUildhall, Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented; and shows a total general balance of £139,933 ss. I.d. THE MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. A letter was received from Mr. Roffey, vestry clerk of the parish of Lambeth, enclosing resolu tions passed at a meeting of the vestrymen of that parish, setting forth their great disappointment at the proposition recently made to commence the main drainage works of the metropolis on the north • side, in opposition to a former recommendation of their own engineer, that any works for this object should be commenced on the south side on account of the vast amount of disease which prevailed in the low-lying districts on that side of the river. Mr. TAYLOR then moved that the resolutions be received, and gave notice that on Friday next he should call the attention of the board to - them. The motion was then put and agreed to. DEODORIZATION OF SEWAGE MANURE. A report was received from the Committee of Works and Improvements, reporting " That in the opinion of the committee, it is expedient that chemical assistance should be placed al their disposal, to enable them to report on the several schemes for the deodorization and the application of sewage submitted to the board." Mr. WRIGHT moved that this recommendation be agreed to, which was seconded by Mr. DIXON. Mr. CRELLIN thought that this was a matter requiring further consideration, and moved as an amendment that the report be referred back to the committee. Mr. Ec!ETT seconded the amendment. • After, observations from Mr. CARPMAEL and Mr. WRIGHT, The CHAIRMAN put the question, and the amendment was negatived. A second amendment was then moved by Mr. CARPMAEL, that the subject be postponed for one month. _ _ _ Mr. PEW opposed the amendment, and said he did not see that they would be in a better condi tion to consider the question a month hence than they were then. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR believed the best way to deal with the matter would be to leave it entirely in the hands of the committee, at the same time restrict ing the cost of chemical assistance to £lOO. This suggestion was agreed to, and the original motion was put and agreed to. THE PROPOSED WIDENING OF NEWGATE-STREET. A report was received from the Works Com mittee stating that they had considered the memo rial from the Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London, stating that they had had under their consideration the improvement of a portion of New gate-street, by setting back the houses numbered 78, 79, 80, 81, and 82, as shown upon the plan'ac companying the memorial, that the cost would be £3,232 10s.. and requesting the Board to effect the improvement in question, and that the committee are not prepared to recommend the Board to effect such improvement. Mr. WRIGHT said, as the Board were not called upon to contribute towards the proposed improve ment, but to take it entirely upon themselves, he should move that the recommendation of the com mittee be adopted. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said it was the duty of the Board to make improvements in the metropolis, and that this would be a great improvement no one could deny; and if the whole expense of it were cast upon the Board, it would only be meting out to the city of London what had already been done for other parts of the metropolis. Mr. BURSLEM seconded the amendment, believ ing that this was not a local but a metropolitan improvement. Mr. FREEMAN was opposed to effecting these great improvements out of the sewer rates. Mr. CRELLIN was in favour of the subject being referred back to the committee. • After some further discuSsion, The CHAIRMAN put the motion, and the amend ment was unanimously adopted. RATING THE METROPOLIS TO THE MAIN DRAINAGE. A report was received from the Finance Com mittee submitting the basis upon which the assess ments for the Netropolitan Drainage Rate shall be made. - Mr. Deputy HARRISON, in moving the adoption of the basis of this rate,• said it had been calculated that the rateable value of the property of the me tropolis .was £11,000,000, which being rated at 3d. in the pound would produce a gross sum of £153,359, and that would enable the Board to meet their engagements, and, indeed, to pay off the sum of £3,000,000 which they were authorised to raise, under the act of last session, within the time allowed for that purpose. A period of 40 years was allowed, but it would all be paid long before that. He concluded by moving that the precepts should be made returnable on the 12th of March, 1859. Mr. SNOW seconded the motion. Mr. TURNER moved, and Mr. EcKETT seconded an amendment that the subject . stand over for further consideration. Mr. NICHOLAY supported the amendment ; but he hoped the ratepayers of the metropolis would not imagine that 3d. in the pound would be all that would be required from them, and, although 3d. had been mentioned, that was only an estimate, and he should not be surprised if that amount were doubled, or even trebled, before the work was finally disposed of. The CHAIRMAN put the question, and the original motion was agreed to by a large majority. ' It was then agreed that precepts should be issued, signed by and sealed with the common seal of the Board to be returnable on the 24th of June. • THE PROPOSED' PURCHASE OF BERKELEY-HOUSE, SPRING-GARDENS. A report was brought up from the Cothmittee under the Building Act and for General Purposes, which was as follows : . " Greek-street, Soho-square, Nov. 4. " Your committee have now to report, that in further pursuance of the resolution of the Board of the 9th of July Last, to the effect that the Board do enter into an agreement for taking the premises, Berkeley-house, Spring-gardens, mentioned in the report of this committee, and that the subject be referred back to the committee to.take the neces sary steps for purchasing the present lease, and obtaining a new one on the terms and conditions mentioned in such re port, they instructed the solicitors of the Board (Messrs. Smith and Son) to place themselves in communication with the solicitors of the Treasury, with a view to the prepara tion of the requisite agreement for the surrendering of the present lease, and obtaining a new one on the terms and conditions approved by the Board. The agreement has been prepared, and has been approved by the solicitors of the Treasury, and your committee now submit the same, in order that it may be sealed with the seal of the Board, and they recommend that the sum of £4OOO be deposited by the Board, in accordance with the terms of the agreement: All which your committee have to submit, " J. THwAiiEs. " GEORGE OFFOR. " ROBERT TAYLOR." Mr. Orion moved the adoption of the report, and at some length dwelt on the advantages which would be derived: by all persons employed by re moving to premises where they would have ample room, pure air, and plenty of light. Mr. DIXON seconded the motion. The motion was opposed by Messrs. BURSLEM, ECKETT, and CRELLIN ; and supported by Mr. Deputy HARRISON and Mr. PEW. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, when the numbers were—Ayes, 22 ; Noes, 8. MAIN DRAINAGE. A report was brought up from the Main Drainage Committee, reporting that they had considered the specification for the Northern High Level Sewer. and recommending the same for approval. The recommendation was, after some discussion, agreed to. The Board adjourned soon after four o'clock. A GIRL FRIGHTENED TO DEATH . — An inquest , was held on Monday evenir e• n+ Jr. ll'. . q , Itt:in , o, Much llofllb, near Freston, touching the death of Martha Spencer, a girl 13 years of age, who came to her death through a most shameful joke perpetrated on the preceding Friday evening. The following evidence was adduced :—Bridget Riley, a factory worker, said the deceased also worked in the factory. On Friday night last they left work together a little after six o'clock, and in company with five other girls went along the turnpike-road leading to Liverpool. They had a distance of about a mile and a-half to go. When they got near the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Hoole they saw a coffin lying across the footpath. When they got within four yards of the coffin it moved and a hollow sound came from it. The girls all ran back and screamed. Martha Spencer and witness were the only two who got near to the coffin. They ran back about 50 yards, and came up with Joseph Gill and Jane Hinde, Witness and the deceased turned back with them, and when they had got within five or ten yards of the place where they had before seen the coffin they saw Richard Forshawe and rather Robert Mawdsley (two apprentices to Mr. Howard, wheel w:alsgnhot,t of Hoole) with but dthekcoffiTnheondectheuesiredshsouinlddsehrse. was ram * The deceased They did not frightened. ff sp i e l a o k me to , the ial en two sh y e oun an g d witness had gone about morning the dean a mile further.

Your committee, on the 4th of June, were attended by a deputation of the directors (accompanied by their engineer and solicitor), and it was then inti mated to them that, before incurring the expense of consulting competent persons as to the value of the concession sought from the county, and the practic ability of executing the proposed tunnel, and the stipulations necessary for the security of the pre sent and any future erections connected with the prison, they had thought it desirable to take the opinion of counsel whether, under the existing state of the law, the proposed tunnel could be made without further legislative powers, which opinion being that further powers were necessary the directors suggested that, assuming the opinion to be correct, the magistrates might, with propriety, if they thought proper, make an arrangement such as was proposed by the company , provided such arrangement were made pro visional on its ratification by Parliament next year, with the consent of both parties; and repeating the readiness of the company to incur the expense of obtaining the opinion of an eminent en gineer, for the purpose of ascertaining whether any other objection existed to the plan proposed. Under these circumstances, the committee at once sought the advice of Mr. G. P. Bidder, and, on the Bth of July they received from him an elaborate report, from which, although he expressed an opinion that the proposal to carry the railway under the prison is practicable, still, as it would have to be carried out in the first instance, by an open cutting, pro tected during the progress of the work by . a move able iron shield—the roof of the tunnel being only seven feet at one point below the surface of the prison ground—and would involve the reconstruc tion and re-adjustment of a considerable portion of the drains, it appeared to them to be in every re spect objectionable, and likely to create so much difficulty in the management and discipline of the prison, that in transmitting a copy of Mr. Bidder's report to the directors, they repeated what they had expressed at their first interview with the directors —that the county would greatly prefer the directors adopting the alternative alluded to in one of their former communications, so to deviate the line of the proposed railway as to avoid the prison alto gether. On the 24th Sept. the committee received a reply, stating that the directors had finally deter mined to apply in the next session of Parliament for powers to deviate the line so as to avoid the House of Correction ; and that the directors hoped, in their application to Parliament for this purpose they might reckon on the countenance and support of the justices. By the original Act (17th and 18th Vic., c. 221) the company were empowered to take the prison for the purposes of their railway, within three years after the 7th Aug., 1854, and by the 19th and 20th Vic., c. 119 , the time was extended one year, so that their powers lapsed on the 7th of August last."

Mrs. Sheppard said she had been married 14 years to the defendant, and on the 14th of July last he turned her into the street, and all he had allowed her since was 15s. in three separate payments. The last she received on Sept. 13, and she had since been obliged to apply to the union for relief. Previous to that Mr. Bayford, a proctor, had assisted her with various small sums to the amount of £3. She re ceived a letter from the relieving officer of the West London Union, which she took to the defendant, but he only gave her into custody. On the follow ing day she went to the union, and Mr. Palmer gave her relief. Cross-examined —The defendant turned her out of doors because he was keeping another woman, and he had since been endeavouring to obtain a judicial separation. Sbe had never passed the night with a man named Frowd at a coffee-shop in Bishopsgate-street-without. Mr. Gresham said the defendant was a respect able tradesmen in the city of London until he un happily became acquainted with this unfortunate woman. He resisted the application, on the ground that she was not legally chargeable to the parish, and also that she had committed adultery. He was prepared to prove both points, but he was anxious to avoid the exposure of family matters, if possible, and if, therefore, the parish officer would state what sum would be sufficient to put an end to these ap plications he would advise his client to accede to anything in reason. Mr. Bayford, the proctor for Mrs. Sheppard, said the defendant had commenced a suit, but it was not on the ground of adultery. He had advanced her money from time to time as long as it was neces sary to see her concerning the suit, but, as soon as it was not requisite to see her, he advised her to apply to the union. After some further negotiations between all par ties, it was arranged that the defendant would allow his wife 6s. per week, on condition that she did not annoy him in his business. The summons was therefore allowed to stand over. BOW-STREET.—Mr. Tomlinson, 454, Strand pawnbroker, waited on Mr. Jardine, and stated that he had that day stopped a watch offered in pledge by a woman who said it belonged to her husband. He suspected it to be stolen, from the manner in which the swivel had been broken. He was obliged to let the woman go, as there was no policeman in sight, but he detained the watch, which he now produced. It was a lady's gold watch, and the name of " Swan" was engraved on it. He wished the matter to be noticed in the papers, which would probably lead to the discovery of the owner, to whom ho would restore the watch. WESTMINSTER—AIfred Lowe, alias Smith, alias Kruse, and various other names, who stands charged with conspiring with others to obtain pos session of a great number of houses, was brought up for re-examination, when the court was, as before, densely crowded with the prisoner's victims and others. _ _ Mr. Marshall, barrister, again attended to pro secute, and, after completing the cases which have already been detailed, said that there were number less other complaints of a like character which might be established against the accused, but it was useless to multiply cases of that description, and he would proceed to one of a much more serious cha racter. He now charged the prisoner with felony, under the following circumstances :—ln March last the accused, under the name of Kruse, applied to a Miss M'Lean, of 27, Bryanston-street, Portman square, for the lease of a furnished house belonging to that lady. He represented himself as a surveyor and land agent, of 7, Maddox-street, Regent street, and said he was acting for Dr. Davies, a gentleman of fortune and member of Parliament, who had left his own mansion in Oxfordshire and wanted a furnished house in a fashionable part of the metropolis. The person represented as Dr. Davies subsequently made his appearance, and ex pressed his approval of the house, but said he had left matters of this sort entirely to his agent, Mr. Kruse. The latter, attended by a person who passed as his clerk, went through the house, and, having taken an inventory of the fur niture, it was arranged that Dr. Davies should take possession on the 30th of March, at £250 per annum, Miss M'Lean retaining possession of one room, in which valuable property was deposited. The keys of this house, and possession of it, were7ormally given to the prisoner by Miss M'Lean on the night of the 30th March, he alone being left in the house. On the followinir day Miss M - Lean wanted to take away some trunks from her store room, and went to the house, but was unable to ob tain admittance. She paid a second visit on the second day, and, having on the third evening taken the opinion of the police, entered the dwelling with her latch key, and found that it was deserted. Her store-room had been broken into, all her boxes forced open, and plate, linen, and other property to the value of £l5O carried off. She never heard of nor saw anything more of Dr. Davies or the prisoner until now. In addition to the plundering of the store-room as described a valuable vase had been purloined from the drawing-room. Miss M'Lean having been examined in support of this statement the prisoner was committed upon the three charges before alluded to, of conspiracy, but further remanded upon the charge of felony till Wednesday. CLERKENWELL.—George Lawrence, of St. Martin's Chapel, Pratt-street, Camden-town, ap peared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the follow ing summons :—" For re movin g the bodi e s and re mains of bodies from th e burial g round kno wn as Saint in M the art parish of S Martin's Cemetery,t. 1 Pratt-street, Camden town,ancras, without a faculty granted by the ordinary for that purpose, and with out licence under the hand of one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, contrary to the statute." The case excited a great deal of interest, and the court and its avenues were crowded to excess to hear the proceedings. The neighbourhood of the grave yard was besieged by large mobs of - people of every description, and the whole of the high boarding which had been placed by the graveyard authori ties to prevent the public from seeing what was going on was pulled down and set fire to. So vio lent did the mob become that it was found neces sary to send for additional police from the sur rounding stations. Mr. Cameron, one of the churchwardens of the parish of St. Pancras, attended to prose cute on behalf of that parish ; and Mr. Danger field, the vestry clerk of St. Martin's, repre sented the defendant. Mr. Loxton, the superin tendent of the S division, was also in attendance, as were several of the local clergy, Mr. H. Farrer, late churchwarden, Mr. J. Collins, Mr. H. 0. Nodes, and other members of the vestry ; Dr. Hillier, medi cal officer of health ; Dr. Jegray, district medical officer ; Mr. C. Greene, clerk to the burial board, &c. Mr. Cameron said it would be in the recollection of the Court that two summonses, taken out against the present defendant and Mr. Latchford, the church warden of St. Martin'''s•in-the-Fields, stood ad journed to this day. These summonses were heard on the 28th of August, and were taken out under tho provisions of the common law ; but the present was taken under the 25th section of the Burial Act, which provides a penalty not exceeding £lO for any offence committed against -its provisions. When the first summonses were heard it was ar ranged that no further excavations should be made until those summonses were settled. _ _ _ Mr. Dangerfield said, at the time he would give no promise. Great endeavours had been made in Camden-town and its neighbourhood to make pre• judice ; for what was done in August had been done now. After the last case was heard a meet ing of the trustees of the parish of St. Martin was held, and they, in deference to the excitement that then prevailed, agreed to suspend the works until. the season was more advanced. The present sum mons had been taken taken out under the Burial Act, and he was prepared to meet it. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the safe way would be to fix a day to hear all that occurred before the 25th of August. Mr. Cameron—l hope all further excavations will be stayed in the meantime. Mr. Dangerfield said he would agree to that if any early day were fixed. Mr. Tyrwhitt said this day week, which was agreed to by all parties ; excavations to be stayed in the meantime. Mr. Cameron said the summons that now stood for hearing was taken out under the Burial Act. The parish of St. Martin had obtained a local Act of Parliament, the 17th and 18th of Victoria, chap. 154, which enables them to build on certain portions of the Camden-town Cemetery not heretofore used for interments. Part of the preamble set forth that part of the land had not been in use, and abutted on the fronts of the streets, and the first clause re cited that from and after the passing of the Act these portions should not be buried in. In the schedule to the Act one part of the land is set forth as that abutting on Camden-street, and that was the portion where the disturbances were now taking place. He regretted that the parish of St. Martin had designedly defrauded the Legislature, for instead 'of one or two burials having taken place there,. hundreds of coffins had been found. When the parish first began excavating, and coffins were found and - complaints were made, they did what he (Mr. Cameron) wished they would now do—viz., discontinue the excavations. He should be able to show that frightful desecrations within the past few days had taken place. The authorities of St. Pancras had great difficulty in getting in, and it was not until he had seen one of the churchwardens of St. Martin's that admission could be gained. Mr. Dangerfield said as soon as the churchwar dens were applied to they at once granted permis sion. He would admit the removal of the human remains, not bodies, and call upon the other side, in the terms of the faculty, to prove that there was no faculty. . • Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that this was one of that sort of cases in which the defendant had a right to begin. Mr. Cameron said he was prepared to prove that coffins in a perfectly sound condition had been taken up and ruthlessly broken to pieces, the re- mains wheeled in barrows and pitched into a hole, and the wood piled up against one of the houses. _ Mr. Dangerfield said when he was called upon he should be able to prove that the remains spoken of were removed from the parish of, St. Martin at the time of the Charing-cross improvements. Mr. Cameron was prepared to prove that certain burials had taken place in that part of the ground in which the excavations were now going on. Within the last five years the parish authorities of St. Pancras had received orders from the Secretary of State to close the vaults under the churches, which they . had done at great . expense ' and yet another parish could remove coffins and bodies to the injury of the health of the parishioners without beinginterfered with. Mr. Tyrwhitt—They have got a faculty to remove from all parts of the ground in dispute to that in which no dispute has arisen, and which is not to be covered. Mr. Cameron—That faculty is a perfect mockery, and the grounds upon which it was obtained are on presumption and belief. Mr. Tyrwhitt—They allow that burials had taken place, and they obtained the faculty to remove to other parts. Mr. Cameron—They say in it that it was only burials of paupers, and they were removed from other parts. Now, he should like to know why the bodies of paupers were not to be respected as well as those of other persons. Mr. Tyrwhitt—All that the faculty , requires is that the removal shall be done decently. It had been stated in the preamble to the local Act that no bodies had been buried there, and when they found to the contrary they obtained the faculty. If there was wantonness or impropriety in the way in which the bodies were removed, thenthe parties offending could be indicted. Mr. Cameron—The faculty refers to " such bodies," which means the bodies which were re moved from Charing-cross, not those which were buried there so late as 1854. Mr. Dangerfield said the burials which had been made so much fuss about took place, in another part of the ground, and if it was wished the ground should be dug up and the coffins shown. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the faculty applied to those coffins which were removed from Charing-cross and all bodies found there must be removed with decency. Mr. Cameron—The faculty would not have been granted by the bishop if it had. een known that burials had taken place there within these five years. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that decency or public'morals must not be shocked. The present summons would be dismissed. Mr. Dangerfield said that until Friday next the excavations would cease, and he did hope that the disturbance would be discontinued, for he might mention that he knew the names of several parties, and that they would be indicted if it was continued. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was impossible - to do any good by violence. If the parties who removed the bodies did not do so properly, they would be punished. The parties then left the court. Various cases of violent assaults upon the police arising out of the same affair were heard in the course of the day. LAMBETH.---Mr. Wm. Bennett, the husband of the late Madame Coton, who lost her life by the late explosion in Melina-place, Westminster-road, and who had been tried at the Old Bailey on a charge of manslaughter, attended before the Hon. G. C. Norton to answer a summons - charging kim with the sale of fireworks, by which he had in curred a penalty of £5. Mr. Tritton, the vestry clerk of St.- George-the-Martyr, attended to sup port the complaint, and Mr. C. Lewis, of Ely-place • appeared on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Wellman, the inspector of nuisances for the parish of St. George-the-Martyr, said that he had received directions from the vestry to put down the nuisance of the sale of fireworks in the parish, and had in consequence employed two witnesses, who would be called, to purchase fireworks at a shop recently opened by the defendant. He (Mr. Well man) did not witness the sale himself, and there fore could say nothing about it. Two witnesses .were then called, namely, Frederick Collett, who appeared to be a cripple, and about 22, and George Knighton, a sharp lad of 13, and .from their testimony it appeared that on Monday about 4 o'clock they went to a shop, 2, Melina-place, Westminster-road, which had re cently belonged to a tobacconist, but been converted into one for the sale of fireworks. At the time they entered there was, a little girl behind the counter serving a gentleman with fireworks, and the defendant, Mr. Bennett, was also in the shop standing outside the counter. Collett asked for six pennyworth of crackers and three 'pennyworth of squibs, and these were served by the girl. The defendant then asked if he should make it a shil ling's worth, and, Collett 'having consented to his doing so, the defendant took some additional fire-, works out of the window, and folded all into a parcel. Collett then placed- a shilling on the counter, which the defendant pushed towards the girl, and the latter put it into a drawer or till. This was the case in support of the complaint. The witnesses were subjected to a searching cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, and from Collett it was elicited that he had been discharged from a situation through his loss of £2. He denied, how ever that he had been given into custody, or that the police had been called in the matter. The younger witness stood the test of cross-examination admir- ably. Mr. Lewis addressed the bench at some length, hoping it would not convict on a highly penal statute which required the testimony of two credible witnesses. Mr. Norton imposed the full penalty of £5. THE POISONINGS AT BRADFORD Yesterday, the magisterial inquiry into the ex tensive poisoning by peppermint lozenges, in the making of which arsenic had been used in mistake for plaster of Paris, was resumed at the Bradford Court-house. The particular death which was the subject of the inquiry was that of Elizabeth Mary Midgley, a child seven year of age, who died on Wednesday morning at the house of her parents, working people living in Bradford. The grand mother of the deceased bought two ounces of pep permint lozenges on Saturday night at the stall of `William Hardaker, in the Bradford Greenmarket, and two of the lozenges were given to the de ceased on Sunday afternoon. Immediately after wards she became ill, and died as already stated. Other members of the same family were poisoned by eating of the lozenges, but 'they have recovered. Mr. Henry Taylor, surgeon, of Bradford, who had attended the deceased, proved that she had died from the effects of some irritant poison. Mr.'T. W. Rimmington, analytical chemist, who had made an analysis of some of the lozenges sold to the deceased's grandmother, and also of lozenges found on Hardaker's stall, stated that each lozenge weighed about 43 grains, and the average quantity of arsenic contained in each was between 14 and 15 grains. Mr. Rimmington also proved the presence of arsenic in the deceased's stomach and intestines, which were given to him to analyse by Mr. Taylor, who made the post mortent surgical examination. The MAYOR, after the new evidence had been heard, said the Bench were of opinion that the three persons in custody—namely, Charles Hodg son, druggist, of Shipley, at whose shop the arsenic was supplied ; William Goddard, his assistant ; and Joseph Neal, confectioner, of Stone-street, Bradford, the manufacturer of the lozenges—must be committed for trial at the next Yorkshire assizes for manslaughter. The advocates of the prisoners applied to the Court to accept bail. Bail was taken, Messrs. Hodgson and Neal being required to enter into iecognisances in £2OO each, and to find two sureties of£loo each, and Goddard to enter into his own recognisances in £lOO, with two sureties of £5O each. The number of deaths which have occurred from having partaken of the poisoned lozenges is 17, and there have been 196 cases of illness reported from the same cause, but these are not by any means the whole number of persons.that have suffered by partaking of the lozenges, 51b. of which, at the least, are known to have been sold. A public sub scription has been opened in Bradford for the pur pose of aiding the surviving sufferers. Most of Clem are among the wox king glum, YESTERDA } FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov 3.
