IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. CARDINAL WISEMAN. The Cardinal preached yesterday in the Church of the Conception, Marlborough-street. Long before his arrival, the street was literally blocked up by hundreds of anxious faces on the look-out for the scarlet hat. A large body of police were on duty, and when his Eminence drove up to the church, arrayed in full cardinalite costume, a tre mendous rush was made to get a view of the illus trious stranger. There was n o cheering, but the people evinced their respect in a much more credit able way by raising their hats as the Cardinal ascended the steps at the porch of the church. The inside of the building was crowded to suffocation, and the c ollection, a t the increased p rice of admis sion, must have been something enormous. Hi s exit is thus described by the Freeman : " His Eminence made a brief stay in the presbytery, where a number of introductions took place, and he was then conducted to the carriage in waiting to convey him to the residence of the Archbishop in Eccles-street. The street in front and in the neighbourhood of the cathedral and presbytery- was literally blocked up with thousands of people, and when his Eminence appeared he was greeted with oft-repeated peals of enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. The people pressed around the carriage, and some ardent men, notwithstandin urgent rem onstrances to the contrary, insisted upon tarcing the horses from the carriage and bringing his Eminence in triumph to Eccles-street—a compliment which was paid him amid hearty cheering with surprising vigour and ex pedition." THE CORMACKS AND THEIR SYMPATHISERS. Anotherold Roman Catholic journal (the Water ford Chronicle) has some judicious remarks in refer ence to the meeting . the other day at Nenagh, celebrated as it now is by the eloquence of Father Kenyon and his fellow sympathisers : " As regards this particular case a great outcry has been raised throughout the length and breadth of the vast county of Tipperary ; men of experience in Tipperary have not hesitated to term this trial and execution a judicial murder,' and to aver that it wa s a sacri fice at the shrine of landlordism. The history of Ire land has too many instances on record of hasty trials and speedy executions in years gone by ; of men, trouble some from their patriotism to the superior powers of that day, being entrapped and removed out of the way ; but we do not think that an occurrence of the present day should be judged of by the deeds of the past, and we should be much surprised indeed to find that we still lived in those dangerous times when a judge and jury could be found ready to aid in making victims of two Irish peasants ! We do not think that such can happen in the nineteenth century ; we think that Ireland has attained that commanding position to make such an event almost an impossibility, and, therefore, on this round alone, if on no other, we cannot join in the verdict of guilty against the judge and jury who tried the case. However, we think an inquiry would be of no harm ; if there be no grounds for the accusation, then one result will be that the spirit of justice wild a found to have been in this instance above reproach, and much obloquy will be ands for the removed from innocent parties. If there be gro accusation, then is the inquiry imperatively demanded, and justice should be visited on the delinquents." The Tipperary Examiner, too, the persevering champion of the Cormacks_,_ is thoroughly ashamed of the exhibition made at Nenagh : " The case of the Cormacks is not the first that has been injured by injudicious advocacy. We looked forward to the meeting at Nenagh as the legitimate conclusion of the ag,i tation upon the question. A calm and deliberate expres sion of public opinion would, we hoped and believed, have been delivered there, and the Government would not re fuse its attention to a fair and reasonable petition emana ting from such an assembly. But, as the strength of a chain lies in its weakest link, and that is the part in which an attempt to sever it should be made, those who wish to prevent any review of the circumstances con nected with the trial assail the weakest point of the meet ing—namely, the attack upon the past. political career of Judge Keogh, and the very coarse and ill-timed jest about petitioning Parliament to hang him. How strong soever ' any man's feelings may be as to the impropriety of such a jest, and that it was intended merely for a joke, and that ft was taken by the meeting solely in that light, is placed beyond all doubt by the laughter with which the absurd suggestion was received, and by the gross and palpable absurdity of the proposition itself. Had it borne the most distant resemblance to an expression of even an earnest wish it would have been checked and repudiated by the chairman and the entire meeting instantly as an atrocity not to be endured." HONOURS TO IRISHMEN. Mr. Brew, who has held the post of Inspector of Police in Cork. and who has been selected to fill the important position of Inspector-General of Police in the new British gold region, volunteered during the war with Russia, and held an arduous place in the Commissariat all through the Crimean cam paign. The appointment is worth £l,OOO a year. Sir Frederick Hughes, who has recently received the honour of knighthood from the Queen, is a native of Wexford. He served many years ago in Persia during a period of great difficulty in that country, and has received from the late Shah the order of the Lion and Sun: When the Russian war broke out Captain Hughes volunteered his services to the British Government to proceed to the East, and more especially to Circassia, accompanying his proposal with plans for the investment of the great military pass of Vladi Cuucase, with the view of cutting off Russian communication with the Trans- Caucasian Provinces:— " These plans, says a local paper, were approved, and his services accepted by Government, and having been fur nished with arms, and ammunition-ho started on this laud able though dangerous mission. - The elements, however, Were not propitious, and the entire material of the expedi tion, including a largo portion of warlike st,,ros, furnished from his own private purse, were totally lost in the unfortunate Prince during the now historic gale of the 14th of November, 18.54, in the Black Sea.. Captain Hughes soon afterwards visited the Naib' or Viceroy of Schamyl at his mountain home in the very heart of Circassia, to whom he was accredited by ,Field-Marshal Lord Raglan and Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, our iiibassador at Con stantinople. Having conducted that mission to the entire satisfaction of the authorities - he returned to the coast, and made a close reconnaiSsance of the fortress of Anapa, then garrisoned by 13,000 of the enemy. In the performance of this service he narrowly escaped capture." . TIIE TIPPERARY BANK. It is stated that the unfortunate creditors of the Tipperary Bank swindle, who trustedto the chance of settlement by compositions, have received two dix a , . amounting, together to .in the polt TIIE Alt.dY. Col. W. F. Forster, the Deputy Adjutant-Gcne ral, by the direction of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the General Commanding in Chief, has issued a notification that the following rule shall be substituted regarding the service, &c., of soldiers who become candidates for the appoint ment of army schoolmasters, in reference to the circular memorandum of the 9th of January of the present year : " No non-commissioned officer will be taken under the rank of corporal, or who was not more than 25 years of age at the time of admission to the normal school as a student. " Should the candidate ultimately attain the rank of schoolmaster, the term spent at the Military Asylum will not count as either military or schoolmaster's service, but as heretofore, it will continueto be recei ved as military service should - he 'fail, and be returned to his regiment. " All soldiers, on re-enli s tment as trained army school masters, will be required toresign one-half of their previous military service. Col. Moody, Royal Engineers, Capt. J. M. Grant, Capt. H. R. Luard, Lieut. A_ R. Lempriere, and Lieut. H. S. Palmer, Mr. Siddell, staff assistant surgeon, 1 sergeant-major, 1 quartermaster-sergeant, 8 sergeants, 8 first-corporals, 8 second-corporals, 8 lance-corporals, and about 100 sappers of the Royal Engineers, with their families, embark on the 15th inst. on board the clipper ship Thames City, 1,500 tons burden, for British Columbia, sailing round Cape Horn. The detachment is composed of picked volunteers, and embraces almost every trade and profession—surveyors, draughtsmen, engravers, artists, architects, photographers, carpenters, ma sons, blacksmiths, painters, miners, &c., such as only the Royal Engineers can produce. They are armed with the Lancaster rifle and Colt's re- volvers, and take out with them provisions suf ficient to last for some m months, and an immense quantity of clothing and er lals e of pecli e it 'e o ry n description likely to be required at by the x in the new colony. We understand that steam engines, railway rails, and other m ec h an ical ap pliances, either for steam or water power, will be sent after the party. The non-commissioned, officers and men are to receive a liberal rae of colonial pay, and, as a further inducement to them, n six y ears ' faithful service a grant of land is to after be appropriated to such as are desirous to settle in the colony. From the known character of those engaged in the expedition, if supported by the Home Government, no doubt is entertained of a successful issue. d onsidering the practical abilities and experience of Colonel Moody, Captain Grant, and the other officers e appointed, t the expedition u ndoubtedly will be turn The 48th Regiment is ordered good account. redta e ra ltar for Calcutta.

All three regiments are to go to Alexandria, and by the overland route to their respective stations in India. The 2d battalion of the Bth Regiment of - woof, embarks this day (Tuesday), at Kingstown, for the Cape of Good Hope. Orders were yesterday issued by the authorities for 600 of the East India recruits to be held in readiness to embark for India as soon as the required amount of tonnage has been taken up for them. Of this number 300 are to embark for :Bengal between the 20th and 25th of September, :and 150 each for Bombay and Madras between the 26th of September and the Bth of October. The following reinforcements are under orders to enii.:ark this day at Gravesend on board the Blervie Clst le, 616 tons, Commander G. M'Hardy, for Kur il] e hee, viz.-30 men of the 7th Dragoon Guards, 40 m en of the 27th Enniskill e ns, 10 men of the 61st R e fluent, 15 of the 70th Regiment, 10 men of the 81st Regiment, 30 men of the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, 24 men of the 94th Regiment, and 35 men of the 98th Regiment. The number of rein forceinents despatched to India by the authorities since the month of June has exceeded 5,000 cavalry a nd infantry troops of all ranks, which number includes those under orders to embark at Graves end during the next few days. Preparations arc making at Chatham for break ing up the camps occupied by a portion of the troops belonging to the Ist and 3d battalions at the Spur Battery and Prince Henry Bastion. It is expected that the whole of the depots now under canvas will be removed into barracks during the present week. The experiment of encamping the East India troops at Chatham has been attended with such satisfac tory results that it is the intention of the autho rities during another summer to form there a camp for each battalion on an extended scale, and to place a still larger number of the troops of the line under canvas. From the periodical reports made to the authorities by the medical officers doing duty at the camp it appears that the percentage of sick ness among the troops encamped has decreased in a surprising degree when compared with the num bers on the sick lists quartered in the barrack rooms. This is to be accounted for from the fact that the most stringent rules and regulations have been laid by the military authorities, and most scrupulously adhered to, to enforce order, regula rity, and cleanliness in every portion of the camp. Every description of noxious matter is at once removed to some distance from the camp, and the proper remedies are applied to prevent its tainting the surrounding atmosphere. Nearly all the op.e rations of the troops are performed in the open air, the tents being reserved almost exclusively for sleeping apartments. A large portion of ground has been set apart at each camp as a kind of playground for the troops, and even this trifling concession has been attended with advantage, for it has been ascertained that there is less disposition on the part of the troops under canvas to remain absent after the appointed hour for their return to camp in the evening than among those quartered in barracks, while many spend their whole evening in various games on the ground provided for them, who would otherwise resort to the low beer-houses and public houses which abound in Chatham.l In order to prc vent the soldiers suffering from damp each tent is provided with a number of small portable bed steads, elevated a few inches from the ground of a kind made expressly for use in camp. Each man has one of these to himself, the number being ap portioned to the size of the tent. The arrangements for cooking for the troops have undergone consider able improvement, the new ovens and baking places which have recently been erected enabling the whole of the food for the camp to b e cooked with the greatest ease and facility. It is perhaps to be regretted that means cannot be adopted to prolong the existence of the camp until the season is some what more advanced, as there is no doubt that the troops infinitely prefer living under canvas to being compelled to take up their quarters in overcrowded barrack-rooms. Information was yesterday received at Woolwich of the death of Gen. T. A. Parke, C. 8., who was promoted from the command of the Woolwich divi sion of Royal Marines Nov. 11, 1851. The general's decease took place at Southampton on Saturday last. Col. T. Brown, at present at the head of the divi sion, thereby becomes major-general, and retires from the command, which, in succession, will de volve on Col. Stransham, second commandant at Woolwich. The Royal Marine Infirmary under construction at Woolwich is progressing rapidly, the basement story being complete, and the flooring beams of the first story already laid down. The beams, girders, &c., which are of iron, have been inspected by the engineer officers of the dockyard to test their capa bilities for rendering the establishment fire-proof as intended. The north front facing the river will contain several exterior balconies at the first floor windows, to give the patients an easy access to the open - Air . , and the advantage of enjoying the pro spect which the site so admirably affords. THE NAVY. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamvessel Vivid re turned to Woolwich on Sunday evening. - The Sprightly paddlewheel steamvessel, Master G. Allen, commander, arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday evening from Plymouth, towing the brig Penguin, for the Coastguard. The Russian squadron sailed frOm Spithead yes terday morning for the westward. The Portuguese screw corvette Sagres, Captain Centurini, got under way from Spithead yesterday forenoon to try her speed in running the mile in Stoke's Bay. At the expiration of her trial she leaves for Lisbon. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty Osburn, to the Russell ; Lieut, G. T. to the Royal Albert ; Lieut. H.

Marshall, acting second master, to the Orion. 11 - ARBOURS OF REFUGE OX THE EAST COAST On Saturday afternoon the commissioners ap pointed to complete the inquiry recommended by the select committee on harbours of refuge held an inquiry at the Town-hall, Leith, into the subject. The commission comprised Rear-Admiral James Hope, C.B. •, Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, Knight, M.P. •, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P. ; Captain Washington, R.N. ; Captain Witch, R.E. ; and Mr. Coode, C.E. Rear-Admiral HOPE presided, and after the com mission had been read, -inquired whether any depu tations from ports were present. Nis. - Wm. TnomPsoN, merchant. Leith. aa-ave:•ed that he attended. to represent the district of Alt strnther and Cellardyke, where a harbour of refuge had been memorialised for. The CHAIRMAN then stated the purpose of the inquiry—the primary object of which was to ascer tain the most eligible site for a harbour of refuge on the north-east coast of Scotland and the east coast of England. The Provost having mentioned the name of Mr John Broadfoot, merchant, of Leith, as one who could assist the commission in the inquiry, Mr. Broadfoot was examined accordingly. In answer to the queries put to him, he stated that, in his opinion, Peterhead was the best site for a har bour of refuge. As to Peterhead being a better point than Vick, he could not perhaps form a cor rect opinion, not being practically acquainted with Wick. He considered that if the Government resolved to spend £300,000 on the north-cast coast of Scotland, the money would be better spent in making the existing harbours accessible to vessels frequenting the coast at full and low water than in constructing simply one great harbour on the coast, as vessels were frequently caught in heavy gales of wind, and had not always the power of making for one fixed point. At Leith there was no present access to the harbour at low-water spring tide. The channel between the piers at low-water spring tide was 91- feet, and sometimes they had 23 feet in the channel at high water. Mr. Donald Macgregor next volunteered evidence. The locality of a harbour of refuge was, he said, a matter less thought of than the question of getting one for the north-east coast. The best site, he thought, was either at Wick or Peterhead ; the latter for Baltic and Archangel vessels, and the former for vessels connected with the American trade. As to the mode of expending £300,000 if granted, he agreed with the last witness ; but it was much better if they could make one good liar bour to do so, rather than make two or three bad Undoubtedly, if there were two propositions —one to make a harbour in which ships of all sizes could take at any time of tide, or which could afford shelter ivi any weather, and the other to make four harbours suitable to receive laden ships of 300 tons and under at half-tide--he would prefer the former. Looking to the present merely, he would prefer the four harbours as above ; but as regarded the future, the large harbour would be most desirable. He thought a point between the Firth of Forth and the Humber was the best site for a harbour off the north-east coast of England— perhaps about Whitby or Scarborough. Applying the above propositions to this coast, his opinion was in favour of one large harbour, as their coast jug vessels were fast increasing in size. St. Mar garet's Hope, on the coast of Scotland, was not a safe natural harbour at night ; it might be run for in daylight. Capt. Dixon, a retired shipmaster, deponed that he had commanded vessels plying between London and Leith. He thought Hartlepool was the best point on the east coast of England for a harbour of refuge, as it was a deep bay, and a vessel caught about there was more likely to find the bottom of the bay than any other point. A harbour was very much wanted on the north-east coast of England. Filey Bay, close to Flamborough Head, would not make such a good site as Hartlepool. He had traded along that coast for 40 years, and never had a place to run to. More wreck s took place at Har der b. ! t ß b . an m a a t n a n n , y si o l t i her point pmaster on , and the Av c h o o as h t a . d had experience of coas ti ng b etween Le i th andt added his testimony rt i f n the g precedinga manyLY:dirs'on,to that witness as to the desirability of l htal o, harbour at Na 1 epool rather than a t any ot h er point on the La st coast of England.

If not, we shall carry back with us to England their kind message, as the first-fruits of the united labours of American and English naval officers. JOSEPH DAYMAN, Commander, H.M.S. Gorgon. St. John's, August 13, 1858. MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE at EDINBURGH The additional partieulars which have transpired. in connexion with this painful case since yesterday (Friday) morning, do something, though not much, so far as they can be relied upon, to dispel the mystery in which it is enshrouded. The old gentleman who accompanied Miss :Moffat from London was brought up again yesterday and further examined in the Procurator Fiscal's office. He describes himself as Thomas Gray, a retired merchant, in easy circumstances, residing at Monastery-house, Poplar-road, London, near the West India Docks, and from his statement it appears that the young lady who has met such a frightful end was the daughter of his sister (not of his niece, as formerly stated) who married Mr. Moffat, a tailor in Camden-town, London. Mr.. Gray has been a widower for the last two years, during which period his niece lived with him, and acted as his housekeeper. He was much attached to her, and left her £loo.a year for life in his will, which he would readily prove by sending for that document from London, and producing it. They came down to Scotland merely on a pleasure excur sion, and during the passage down in the steamer she was much fatigued. He could not understand her motive for committing suicide, but she had been nervous and in very low spirits for some time back. They had drunk toddy together on several occasions since coming to Edinburgh, and he thought the Scotch whisky had increased her disorder. It is said that on taking up their lodgings in Mr. Rus sell's, on Monday evening, they brought part of a bottle of brandy with them, that they subsequently got in a bottle of whisky, and that nearly all this liquor had been used by them principally in the shape of punch or toddy. We mentioned formerly that the deceased had expressed some uncomfort ableness at Mr. Gray's conduct towards her, and her suspicions that he had drugged . her toddy. The medical man viewed these suspicions as nervous excitement ; but we understand that these and other circumstances had rendered Mr. Russell dissatisfied with his lodgers, and determined him to get rid of them as soon as practicable. However this may be, all the circumstances of this melancholy case, so far as they have hitherto been elucidated, point unmis takeably to the conclusion that, whatever the dis posing cause, the deceased met her death by her own hand. Mrs. Dunlop, who was seated in a room immediately below that occupied by Miss Moffat, and who heard the fall of a heavy body on the floor at 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, listened to hear if any person came to lift it up, but no footstep was heard, and, from the position of the rooms, it appears indisputable that any struggle or even footsteps coining or retiring at that hour would have been heard by a person below. Mr. Gray, we may mention, has never been, properly speaking, in custody, but has from the first voluntarily placed himself under the surveillance of the police. Further and pro bably concluding examinations will take place to -day before the authorities.—Edildorryh Courant. A THEATRICAL PARTY. A little urchin, named Alfred. Topham, who was stated in the police-sheet to be eight years of age, was yesterday brought before Sic T. Reeve, at the Richmond Petty Sessions Court, upon a charge of stealing 15s. belonging to a poor woman named James. Three other lads, one of whom appeared to be about 12 or 13 and the others voun , rer, - who had been mixed up in the some what extraordinary proceedings connected with the robbery, were also present by the direction of the police to give any explanation that might be re quired of them. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that the lad Topham was in the habit of coming to her house to do little odd jobs, and to run errands for her, and he was aware that she kept her mone - y in a box in the parlour On Saturday he was at her house and saw her take some money out of the box which contained 15s. all in silver. She left for a short time, and upon her return she found that Topham had decamped, and upon going to her money box she ascertained that 15s. had been taken away. She immediately applied to the police, an (I from illiorination thlit subequentl reo(ivcd • vutt.iti pi . o . ..eetletl to the kick:mond neat i•,• front a ou lads, 9 1 and lie there found Topham and the other were now present, all seated in a s ' e ° at e who°ek' with their pockets full of apples and cakes, and apparently highly • delighted, and the prisoner was taken into custody and lodged in the station-house. Sir T. Reeve inquired whether any money was found upon the prisoner. Mr. M'lntyre, the inspector, said that no money at all was found upon Topham, and a few halfpence only upon one of the other lads, but it appeared that Topham had purchased two cricket bats and a ball, which he produced, with part of the money. The magistrate asked Topham what he had done with the money ?—lle replied that he gave ss. Bd. to one of the lads, now in court, and 3s. to acre - Th - 64 and he spent the rest in fruit and sweets, and in treating his companions to the play. The magistrate inquired of the lad who was stated to have received the ss. Bd. what he did with the money, and he replied it was all spent, and the one who was said to have had 3s. said that he invested the whole amount in apples, which they ate during the performance. (Laughter.) The magistrate askeShow it happened that they came to take so much money from a lad like the prisoner, and. said they must . 1 have known that he had come by it in an improper manner, but they replied that he told them he had received the money from a brother who was at sea, and they all declared that they had not the slightest suspicion that the money had been stolen by Top ham. The magistrate put some questions to the police about the Prisoner, and it appeared that he had a step-father, and that his mother was very ill, and that no one was present to inter Pere on his behalf. The prisoner, upon being told that he might elect whether he should be punished at once for the offence, or be committed to the sessions to take his trial, replied that he .wouldrather be punished now; whereupon he was ordered to be confined 'in the House of Correction for three days and to be once well whipped. The magistrate also suggested that the friends of the other boys should make up the money they had received from To p ham to the p oor woman who had been robbed , and the y a g reed to do so. A workman, named Cyprien, residing at St.. Etienne, was a short time since condemned by the Tribunal of Correctional Police of that place to three months' impri sonment for having made use of expressions hostile to the Eniperor, and for having said, "The Italians failed in their attack, but I will not." The PrOCUrellr Imperial appealed against this sentence, and the Imperial Court has increased the imprisonment to six months.

Important caution against the fearful danger of spurious imitations : The Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted an injunction on the 10th March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevill, for imitat:ng "Du Barry a Revalenta Arabica Food," well acquainted with it. Many got embayed in Dunbar through ignorance of the place, or through not seeing the land. If there had been a harbour of refuge on the east coast of England he would have taken it on many occasions wAen he was Master of smacks. He preferred Peterhead as a site for a harbour on the north-east coast of Scotland. He would say it was a much better place than Wick. Mr. Macgregor wished to state to the commis sion that a wreck of a large ship was unusual in the Firth of Forth. Captain Alexander Brown, shipmaster, and for forty years at sea, deponed that he had for many years commanded vessels plying between Leith and London. A harbour of refuge was much needed on the north-east coast" of England-- he thought the best adapted place was Hartlepool, A harbour there would tend more to save life and property than at Filey Bay. Heavy westerly gales often happened near Flamborough Head. Most of the vessels wrecked off Hartlepool were laden. Robert Colme, fisherman and pilot, was next ex amined. He had been a pilot 22 years, and he was acquainted with the Pentland Firth and with Shields. There was very great necessity for a har bour of refuge between the Firth of Forth and the Pentland Firth, as there was no place except Cro marty for Baltic or American vessels to rim to if caught about there. He agreed that Peterhead was the most available point on the whole range of the east coast for a harbour of refuge. He knew most of the fishing stations between Leith and the Pentland Firth. At one of them, Cfaigroan, he thought the expenditure of a little money would be the means of saving life and property. At New haven they wanted something done, for they had 300 fishing-boats there, and no harbour at all. It would be the means of saving life to have a harbour at Newhaven. St. Margaret s Hope required lights for the guidance of strangers. It might then be used as a harbour of refuge. Mr. William Thomson, merchant and shipowner, Leith, was then called, He stated that there was oTeat necessity for a harbour of refuge at An strutherr' for fishing-boats employed in that locality. Anstruther was second to Wick only as a fishing station, and the present accommodation of the har bour was quite insufficient. In 1856 great damage was caused to the shipping, and also some loss of life occurred, through the want of accommodation. He produced a copy of a memorial signed by 1,243 fishermen belonging to the Firth of Forth, asking for assistance to construct a harbour for their use. Messrs. Stephenson, the engineers, had prepared plans showing that such a harbour could be made at an expense of £30,000, and Anstruther would raise £12,000, if they could obtain a loan of £lB,OOO, and they would assign the revenue of the fishing , which amounts to X 1,200 a-year, in security for payment of the interest and redemption of the debt. Anstruther was not fitted for the construction of a na tional harbour of refuge. On the north-east of Scotland he did not think a harbour of refuge was needed for foreign vessels and coast-going vessels, but only for the fishing-boats, but on the north-east of England one certainly was wanted. He coincided in the view taken by other witnesses as to the eligibility of Hartlepool as a site for a harbour. As a ship owner he would not be willing to pay a passing toll for a harbour of refuge at Peterhead, but he would willingly pay a toll for the formation of a harbour on the east coast of England. There were some dangerous rocks near Peterhead, and in a gale of wind ships making for a harbour there would meet with mischief. Within the last three years lives had been lost of fishermen at Anstru ther, and a harbour would to a great extent pre vent these occurrences. The only harbour at Anstruther was formed by two piers running out, and boats could not take it until half-tide. There was an act of parliament for the improvement of the harbour, but works were not yet commenced. Mr. Charles Jackson, of Greatham Hall, West Hartlepool, was the last witness called. He merely stated that hearing the commission was to attend there that day he came, being in Lea on business. He had been endeavouring to get the opinions of nautical men as to the different parts of the north east coast of England, and the necessities for a harbour of refuge, and he produced the evidence. The Chairman suggested that anything Mr. Jackson had to offer respecting the making of a harbour on the north-east coast of England could be more properly taken when the commissioners visited the district of Hartlepool. The commissioners then retired for a few minutes, and, on returning, the chairman stated that they had resolved to proceed no further with the inquiry. The proceedings then terminated. 310VEMENTS OF THE GORGON AND NIAGARA AFTER LAYING TILE CABLE. The following letter has been addressed. to cotemporary-t Sir, ---Everybody knows by this time how, on the 29th July, 1858, in lat. 52 ~., lon. 33 W., the tele graphic squadron assembled for a final effort to submerge the Atlantic cable, and how on the sth of August, against the expectation and prediction of nearly all the world, one end was taken into Valentia by the Agamemnon and Valorous, and the end conveyed by the Niagara and Gorgon to New foundland, was safely deposited in the station house of the Atlantic Telegraph Company at the Bay of Bulls Arm. But although nothing of interest con nected therewith, beyond what has been already brought before the public, remain to be told, yet there may be those who will gladly hear somewhat of the movements of the last' named vessels since the accomplishment of the event in which they perforined so prominent a part, more particu larly as the connexion of the Gorgon with the submarine cable is not at an end. On the 9th of August the Niagara and Gorgon left the Bay of Bull's Arm for St. John's, where they arrived on the same evening. _During the passage, the Ni agara , with H. pilot on board, touched the ground 1 twice, dice 14. the southeva point of the entvattee to Trinity Bay, and again just inside St. John's; little or no damage was sustained ; and I am happy to say the general feeling on board her is, that. had she remained by her old and tried friend, the Gorgon, she would have passed through all the dangers of Newfoundland navigation un scathed. Much rejoicing awaited the arrival of these vessels. The bell-ringings, illuminations, addresses, and other festivities with which the con querors of submarine difficulties were received need not be told here. Are they not set forth in the (St. John's) Telegraph and Newfoundland Express? On the 11th the Niagara sailed for New York. On passing the Gorgon, three hearty cheers, in token of the good feeling and cordiality which had existed between them were given and returned. As the Niagara neared the harbour's mouth she was seen to strike on a rock, but, as her speed was at its lowest rate, a reverse turn of the engines took her clear, and she steamed away Without any further casualty. On the 14th the Gorgon steamed out of St. John's Harbour for the Bay of Placentia, and anchored in the great south harbour at the head of that bay on the evening of the 18th. 'lt may not be out of place here to say why the Bay of Bull's Arm was selected by the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany as the best spot for landing the Newfound land end of their cable. For the safety of a sub marine cable it is advisable where practicable to take such a line as will ensure a depth of water not less than 90 fathoms, and to land it in a spot un frequented by shipping. The reasons for this are obvious. From the entrance of Trinity Bay to the • mouth- of the Bay of Bull's Arm is uninhabited save and except by the few servants the Atlantic Tele graph Company have placed there. It is not, therefore, ever likely to be troubled with shipping. Again, northerly ,and north-westerly winds bring the icebergs from Labrador and Greenland to New foundland: many of these would ground in even 40 fathono. Now, a glance at the chart will show that the B all's Arm is protected from them by these very Winds. The line of the Neiv York Telegraph Company, through which all the Atlantic communications have to pass, runs at present from St. John's across the head of Conception Bay, along the neck divid ing Trinity Bay on the eastern, and Placentia Bay on the southern, side of Newfoundland, skirts the heads of the various ba y s along the south side, down to Cape Rae (nearly is uninhabited and very di the whole of this t rac k fficult of access), th ence by submarine cable to Cape North Breton Island, and so on to Nova Scotia and the United States. This line passes within one mile of the station of the Atlantic Company at Bull's Arm. It is gene rally believed that the New York Company have it in contemplation to lay down submarine lines from the head of Placentia Bay to this port, Halifax, Portland, and New York. The neck of land sepa- - rating the Bull's Arm front the water on the other side is about three miles across. So the station of the Atlantic and New York Telegraph Companies will stand side by side. On the 20th the Gorgon started from Great South Harbour, and arrived here at 6 p.m. to - day. She has taken a line of soundings for a submarine cable to this port, as per plan enclosed, I enclose you a copy of a telegraph from the Common Council of New York to Commander Day man, together with his reply. It is not known yet whether the Gorgon will o to New York or not ; permission from the Admiralty has been soli cited, but no answer has yet been received.-7---I am . &c., • A. T. M. ROBERTS. 11.M.5, Gorgon, Sydney, Breton Island, Nova Scotia, August, 1858. BY TELEGRAPH FROM NEW YORK. TO CAPTAIN DAYMAN, H.M.S. GORGON. Sir,—.The common council of this city, being desircus of celebrating in au appropriate manner MIDD. The September general sessions of the peace, for the county of Middlesex, commenced yesterday at Clerkenwell, before Mr. Creasy (presiding for the Assistant-judge); and Mr. Payne ; and the follow ing magistrates were present : — Mr. Pownall , chair man of the county, Mr. Alderman Rose, Mr- Gould, Capt. Morley, and Mr. Halsey. Mr. Creasy, in the course •of a short charge to the grand jury, observed that the calendar was heavier than usual, there being 73 prisoners for trial ; but of the cases which he had examined, there was one only to which he thought it might be necessary to call their attention. It was one in which two persons were charged with having created a disturbance in a place where a number of persons had assembled for the purposes of religious worship, in a form and manner peculiar to them selves. There were several statutes applicable to a charge of this description, , the detail or technicalities of which he need not go into, but he thought it right to tell the grand jury that if upon . the evidence which might be laid before them they were of opinion that the persons who were disturbed by the persons charged were assembled bona fide for religious worship, it would be their duty to find the bill, and to submit the case to a further and complete investigation. The law provided a punishment for interference with persons assembled for worshipping the Almighty in accordance with certain requirements of the law, and if these persons to whose case he was alluding had interfered with a legally constituted assem blage, they , certainly were liable to the penalty the law authorised for such misconduct. John Ganning, 22, stated to have been a con stable both in the Metropolitan and City police forces, was indicted for having stolen 56 brushes, value £9, the property of William Barnett, and another, his masters. Mr. Tindal Atkinson was for the prosecution ; Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutors were mother and son, carrying on business as brush manufacturers at 36, Percival street, Clerkenwell ; and the prisoner had been in their service since January last as coachman and carman, and had means of access to her property kept in stock. On Aug. 13 a quantity of brushes were misted from a case in one of the warehouses, and on the 17th the prisoner was found offering some of the identical goods stolen for sale to a tradesman in Piccadilly, who, suspecting they had not been honestly come by, very properly took measures which led to the prisoner being taken into custody. The prisoner at first asked £5 for what he offered for sale, and afterwards accepted £2 165., gave a false name, and a false account of where the brushes came from. Mr. Metcalfe made an address to the jury. The jury, being unable to agree in the box, re tired, and eventually found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Creasy sentenced him to eight months' hard labour. Joseph Gates, 21, army accoutrement maker, was indicted for having stolen 45 coats, and other arti cles of considerable value, the property of Laurence Phillips, his master. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to 10 months' hard labour. Mr. F. H. Lewis was for the prosecution. Walter Cur ell, 20, baker, was convicted of em bezzling several small sums received by him for and on account of John Thompson, his master. The prisoner was sentenced to eight months' hard labour. A great -number of cases of larceny and robbery from the person were disposed of. (Before .Mr. Payne.) James Harley, a very respectable looking young man, was indicted for embezzling the sum of 25., which he had received on account of Edmund John Beale and another, seedsnaen, of High Holborn, his employers ; and also for stealing a watch , pin, &c., the property of the same. He pleaded guilty. Mr. Sleigh, for the defence, said it was a very painful case, the prisoner, who was only 19 years of age, having hitherto borne an unexceptionable character, and being the son of an old and valued servant of a nobleman of high rank. Unfortunately he had abandoned himself to the society of bad women, the consequence of which was that he had, no doubt, helped himself to his master's money and property to provide himself with the means to carry on such a course of life. A brother of the prisoner was called, and lie stated that at the expiration of any sentence the court might pass, the prisoner's parents would take charge of him, and see that he was sent abroad, far out of the reach of the associates through whom he had been brought to this degradation. Mr. Payne said, giving full effect to this, and to a recommendation to mercy by the prosecutor, and also in the hope that a short term of imprison ment would be a punishment sufficient to deter him from evil courses for the future, wherever it might be his fate to be sent to on leaving prison, the court would only sentence hint to three months' hard labour. Mr. Wray was for the prosecution. Daniel Sullivan, 30, was charged with assaultim Hugh Andrews, a metropolitan police constable, iu the execution of his duty. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment, James Lindergreen, 18, was indicted for em bezzling several sums of money received by him for and on account of Francis Mead Hudson, his employer lie pleaded guilty. The prisoner was a porter in the service of a cheesemonger, No. -1, Church-street, Hackney. Having embezzled several sums of money received from customers he absconded, and was taken into custody at Canterbury, where he had enlisted into a regiment of Hussars, the uniform of which he was now wearing. The prisoner, when apprehended, offered to make good the deficiency in his accounts, and the prosecutor strongly recommended him to mercy. . ' < Flced one of the prison. officers, who had :,01{11-2r,, - ;Tilether the prisoner would Le received back into the service, and, on being answered in the affirmative, he said. he should sen tence him to a very slight term of imprisonment. That term would. be one month. William Harrison and William Thompson, 22 and 31, were indicted for stealing a coat and other articles, value £3 10s., the property of William Elmes. Harrison was acquitted. Thompson was con vieted, and sentenced to six months hard labour. William Simmonds, 26, and. Frederick Turner, 32, were indicted for stealing two titlers of sugar, the property of Charles Rich and Dawse and another, and were convicted. Simmonds was sen tenced to six months', and Turner, a well-known .thief, to four years' penal servitude. • James de Blumesseni 31, sailor, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously obtaining by false pretences from Richard Terry a pair of boots, and other articles and the spin of 55., with intent to defraud. Mr.ltibton appeared. for the prosecution, in structed by Mr. Vaughan. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and it was stated that there were about a. dozen other cases against him of defrauding seamen's outfitters at the East- end. He was sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. John Jacobs, 19, and Henry Rutter, 18 (Johnson in the calendar) were convicted of attempting to pick pockets. Jacobs was sentenced to twelve, and Rutter to eight months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 6. MANSION-ROUST,. A stylishly dressed woman, about 25 years of age, a native of Darmstadt, who gave the name of Mary Patten, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to pass a flash £lO note, with intent to defraud Mr. D. Lonsdale, a draper, at 31, Aldgate High -street. The note, which was headed " Bank of Engrav ing," did not at all resemble a genuine £lO Bank of England. nose. W. Adcock said—l am assistant to the prosecu tor. The prisoner came to our shop to-day and selected a shawl, the price of which was £1 16s. 6d., and offered me the note produced in payment. I showed it to the prosecutor, who spoke to her re specting it, when she said it was a £lO note. He then gave her into custody. The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner, who spoke English imperfectly)—How long have you been in London ? Prisoner—About four weeks. The Lord Mayor—No one would ever take this for a genuine £lO note. Where do you live ? Prisoner—At No. 6, Great St. Helen's. Officer—Her landlord, with whom she has been staying the last four or five days, is here. The Lord Mayor—Does he know anything of her ? Landlord—Nothing further than letting her the lodgings. Officer—She had paid a previous visit to the shop of the prosecutor that morning, and she afterwards called at another draper's in the Minories. She made purchases at both places: I have the bills to prove it. The Lord Mayor—Where did you get this note from ? Prisoner—A gentleman gave it to m for api e sent. The Lord Mayor—When ? Prisoner—About• three weeks ago. The Lord Mayor—Did he come o'•cr to this coun try with you ? Prisoner—No, he gave it to me in London. The Lord Mayor—Had you been living with him? Prisoner—Yes. Landlord—She took lodgings at mT house five or six days ago ; she remained out of a night, which made me anxious to get_ rid of her. Officer—She had 15s. 4d. upon her in good money when searched. The Lord. Mayor—Are you to see the man again who gave you the note ? Prisoner—No. The Lord Mayor—Did she seem surprised when she was told that the note was not a Fenuine one ? Adcock—She said she would take it back again. The Lord Mayor—l suppose some man has given her this for a ten-pound note ? The female searcher here stepped into the wit ness-box, and said—l produce another flash note for £5O which I found upon her. When I was search ing her she dodged me about so much that I had great trouble in finding it. It was concealed in this little box, which I produce. I was obliged to resort to force, and in the struggle the bottom of the box Was broken. The Lord Mayor—Prisoner, are you to see this man again ? Prisoner—No ; he said he was going into the country. _ ThAord Mayor—How many times did you see him? Prisoner—He passed a fortnight with me, and then gave me these two notes and 10s. The Lord. Mayor—Has she any boxes at these lodgings ? Landlord—Yes, my lord. The Lord Mayor—The officer must search her boxes, and she will stand remanded till to-morrow. Remanded accordingly. George David Pope, a cab-driver (number of badge 10,933), was summoned. for having assaulted ano ther cab-driver named Thomas Badger. The complainant said, that while he was pro ceeding over London-bridge with his (a Hansom) cab, on the first inst., the defendant, who was fol lowing immediately behind him, ran the shaft of his four-wheeled cab under his seat. Complainant advised him to be careful, upon which he ran his shafts against the panel of his Hansom cab, at the same time jamming complainant's foot. Com plainant, with a view to the extrication of his foot, cut the head of the defendant's horse with his whip, upon which the defendant, with a dreadful oath, jobbed the butt end of his whip into the com plainant's eye. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said the complainant struck him first. The complainant denied this. The Lord Mayor said the assault was a most cruel and unprovoked. one. The defendant must pay a fine of 30s. and 3s. costs, or be imprisoned for a month. Defendant—l cannot pay the fine, and if you send me to prison my wife and children will suffer. I will pay it by instalments. The Lord Mayor—No, I cannot giVe you time. The defendant was locked up in default. BOW-STREET.—A poor half-witted lad, named Charles Barrett, who gets his living by selling laces, &c., in the streets, was charged by Philip Cronin, a great hulking fellow ) who distributes handbills in the streets for an advertising " doctor," with stab bing him. Cronin said that on Sunday evening he was standing at the corner of Lincoln-court, in Drury : lane, when he observed the prisoner standing near him with a knife in his hand. Fearing that he might do some mischief with the knife, witness asked the prisoner to give it to him. The prisoner replied " No, I won't," and stuck the knife in his side. Witness then went to the hospital and got the wound dressed. He was " bleeding like a pig." Policeman Baylis, F 85, was on duty at the hos pital when the last witness came to have his wound dressed. By direction of the surgeon witness went in search of the prisoner, and found him at his lodgings in Lincoln-court, eating his supper with the same knife with which he had stabbed the com plainant. The wound was but trifling. An intelligent lad, of about 13 years of age, and of respectable appearance, here came forward, and said he was passing at the time, and saw the com plainant and some others teasing the prisoner. The latter had a knife in his had, which Cronin was trying to _take away from him. This was con tinued till Barrett became irritated, and stabbed his tormentor with the knife. Mr. Henry—Then he has not given me a truthful account of it. He said nothing about trying to take _ the knife from him. Mr. Inspector Mitchell said the prisoner had been about the neighbourhood several years. He was very quiet and inoffensive when alone, but when worried by the idle people who lounge about the streets in that locality, he was apt to lose his temper, and become violent. Mr. Henry would take the prisoner's recogni sauces t 9 appear this day week. lle must say Cronin had brought it on himself. CLERKENWELL.—John Curley, aged 18, and Joseph Smith, aged 17, two rough determined looking fellows, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with threatening the life .of Mr. Thomas Birch mono, the relieving overseer of the parish of St. Pancras. The prisoners were locked up in default Mr. Thomas Wakeling, of the firm of ides, James and Wakeling, appeared on behalf of IN. Birehmore, and stated that he - had for many years filled the office of relieving overseer of St. Pancras parish, and was highly and deservedly respected by the, parochial authorities, discharging his onerous duties efficiently and earning for himself the respect of the magistrates sitting at this court. As to the two- defendants, Curley had been on Friday last discharged by a Committee of the vestry, and on Saturday morning he called at tb workhouse for relief, which. he received from M Birehmore. He afterwards said, "Is this all it is, I will do for you when vou leave the office In the street he said to Mr. 13irehmore " that if 1. did not give him a loaf he would take his - life from him," and was seen to sharpen a knife for that purpose oh the pavement. On Saturday morning the other prisoner . discharged himself and 4ter-. wards applied for relief, which was refused, and he then said to the complainant, " I will have your life," and he joined the other defendant and they both Tepeated their violent threats. While in custody of, police constable Bride, 99 S, they said they would not talk about taking Mr. Birchmore's life, but they would have it. The complainant was then called, and corroborated the above statement, and' stated that he went iu fear of liis_life. Other witnesses were called, who proved that they heard the defendants make use of dreadful threats, and that they saw them sharpen ing a knife on the stones. 'the prisoner, in defence, muttered something which was not istinctly heard, upon which Mr. Tyrwhitt said the life of Mr. Birchmore must be preserved, and he should call upon the defendants to find bail, Curley for three months, and Smith for one month, and if either of them came-there again he would make them find bail for 12 months. WORSHIP-SMEET.:—Charles Williams, alias Marney, a desperate-looking, stalwart man, was charged with stealing a trunk and contents, value £2O, the property oiMr..John Garrett, a surgeon dentist, carrying on business in Osborn-street, Whitechapel. Everest, 148 I-I, stated that while on duty in Dhurch-street, Spitalfields, between , the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, on the night of Saturday last, he observed the prisoner following a cab with a large :trunk on the roof, and on reaching a rather secluded part he - sprang up behind and dragged the box Off; then, placing it upon his shoulder, was coolly walk ing away with the prize, when witness stopped him., Prisoner declared-that a gentleman had de sired him to carry it ; struck him a violent blow in the mouth which broke his teeth, and was not secured until after a most violent struggle. • The prosecutor said he was in the cab at the time in question, and until aroused by the outcry was unaware of the robbery. The prisoner, who is well known to the officers of the court, did not offer any defence, and was remanded for the completion of depositions. llr . R.—Mr. Davies, a solicitor, wa it e d upon te, and said he had an appli ca ti on to make of a most e x t raordin ary and painful charac ter.ESthTe M m iN ag S is T t E ra His client, Mr. T. Stevens, a house decorator, of middle age, was married on the Ist inst., at St. Luke's, Chelsea, to Miss Martha Elizabeth Dunkley, After the performance of the ceremony it was sug• gested that they should commence the honeymoon with a visit to Oremorne that evening, whither they repaired. They left early to return home, and were joined by the bride's sister. After proceeding a short distance Mrs. Stevens took a fancy to some dainty in a ham and beef shop window, when her husband requested her to stand outside while he went in and purchased it for her. To his surprise, on regaining the street, he found his newly-mar ried wife and sister some distance off, running as fast as their legs could carry them. He called to them to stop, but in vain, and being unable to fol low them at any pace, owing to a recent attack of paralysis, he lost them, and found that all attempts to recover his wife were useless. He saw no more of her until Saturday evening, when he met her in the street in company with a Mr. Jalfon, a formid able man of colour. In consequence of what he had heard he was afraid to go up to them, but was de termined to watch them, in which, however, he was --after keeping them in sight for a few minutes— frustrated. To add to Mr. Stevens's mortification he had lost his clothing and several other articles. He had applied for a portion of these where he believed his wife to be secreted, but could get no satisfactory answer, and bad since betaken himself to the house of his wife's father, in Church-street, Chelsea, where, in anticipation of his marriage, he had deposited other property, when, to his surprise and alarm, he told him to be off, or he would run a knife into him. The object of the present applica tion was to obtain a summons against Mr. Dunkley for the threat, of which he went in great dread, and a second summons for the unlawful detention of the property. Mr. Paynter observed that the case was truly very singular, and granted the required summonses. LAMBETH.—AIex. Mons° was charged with steahng a small glass jar, the property of Messrs• Batty and , Co., from a standing in the Crystal Palace ; and also the plated end of a scabbard from the India Court there: James Darling, a special constable at the Palace, deposed that on Saturday evening last, at about four o'clock, while' on duty in one of the galleries of the Palace, he saw the prisoner go up to the stand of Messrs. Batty and Co., take up the empty glass jar he then produced, and put it into his pocket. Having passed on some yards, witness stopped him, and asked him for the jar he had just taken from the standing of Messrs. Batty. The pri soner asked him what he meant, and on repeating the question, he handed him the jar he then pro duced. He then told him he was a constable belonging to the Palace, and that lie must go with him to the police station, when the prisoner begged of him to let him go, and offered him 10s. or a pound to do so, but he refused and handed him over to Sergeant Smith, of the police. Sergeant Smith, 32 P, said that on the prisoner being given into his charge by the last witness he searched him, 'and in one of his pockets found the mounting of a sword scabbard, which he said had been sent to him from India by a friend. After -locking the prisoner up he (Sergeant Smith) pro ceeded to the Indian Court, and there found that the mounting found on him had been taken from the top part of a scabbard. The prisoner gave his real name and correct address, and from inquiries he (Smith) had made, he found that his father held high rank in the army, that the prisoner himself had been an officer in the 42d, but got married, sold his commission, and spent the money in Paris , where he resided for some time. He subsequentlY got a situation at the Board of Health, which he lost on the reduction of hands. His friends subse quently procured him a situation as letter-carrier at the Post-office, but this he threw up, and for some time had been doing nothing. In conclusion, the sergeant said he had been to the prisoner's resi dence, 24, Sidmouth-street, Gray's-inn-road, and there found his wife and children in a state of apparent distress. In reply to the charge the prisoner said he had visited the Crystal Palace a vast number of times , and the company's officers or the police to provethat he had taken anything before. The jar produced he saw empty, and he thoughtlessly took it up. Mr. Elliott observed that there could not be the slightest doubt the prisoner had stolen the ar ticles. found on him, and convicted him in a penalty 01 405., or 20 days' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK.—Francis Case, a journeymr painter, was charged with committing a ruffiniul assault on his wife. The complainant, who had been lame from her, infancy, and who exhibited a black eye, said that she had been married to the prisoner about two years, and since then unfortunately he had become acquainted with bad associates, with whom he was continually drinking. On Sunday night, 'O lO they were in bed, without the least provocation, he turned towards her, struck her on the eye and ear' and a severe blow on the breast. Her screw brought assistance, when she ran out of the bond and called in a constable, who took her husball: into custody. She was most brutally treated although he knew she was near her confinement The prisoner denied committing the assault conl" plainer]. of. He did not strike her in the breast.,_ The wife here exhibited a large bruise on tl latter, which had evidently been recently inflicte d ' The prisoner said that she so aggravated hirnifule her abuse, that he hardly knew what he did. n a had had a little drop to drink, and what she h° got was her own fault. Mr. Burcham told him that he was a saveg a e ruffian for striking his wife on the eye, ear, all breast, well knowing that she was near her confine ment ; and after doing so he did not show any e° ll i trition for his brutal conduct towards her, b, ll e seemed to glory in it. Such brutes must , g' s unished with the utmost severity of the law, a' ar o ning to others.
