MARLBORO U UH-STREET. A " GENTLEMAN" CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—John Williams, address refined, was charged before Mr. Beadon, with stealing a waterproof cape from the shop of Mrs. Elizabeth Hemmings, hosier, etc., 14, Tichborne-street Mr. Wm. Gooby, manager of Mrs. Hemmings' business, stated that about eight the previous night, from what he was told, he went out and saw the prisoner with the cape, which he had seen safe a few minutes before on a peg in the doorway, in his possession. While struggling with the prisoner he dropped the cape and made off, but being pursued by him, was ultimately caught by Mires, 48 C, and taken into custody. Prisoner said he did not take the cape, but with another "gentleman" pursued the wicked thief who did take it. Mr. Beadon told him he was charged with stealing the cape—he would ask him whether he was guilty or not? The prisoner no longer called himself a "gentleman," but hurriedly preferred having it settled at once. Mr. Beadon committed the prisoner for six months with hard labour. The prisoner's hurry in wishing the case settled was now explained, for a gentleman who happened by accident to be in court said he believed the prisoner was the same fellow who stole a piece of cloth from his house in New Bond street 18 months ago, and received four months' imprison ment for it.

TEA.—The market has been very dull, and no change can be quoted in values. SUGAR.—Business has been very inactive. No public sales of importance have been held, and in the private market the dealings have been on a very limited scale at late rates. In the refined market prices remain unaltered. COFFER.—The demand for colonial descriptions has been dull ; the arrivals, however, have been large, and quotations share a slight depression. Stocks on hand, however, show a deficiency of about 1,300 tons, compared with those of the same period last year. KICK.—A very limited demand has been experienced for East India, and to effect sales lower rates had to be sub mitted to by holders. The business transacted, however, was very limited. SALTPETRE.—There has been a better inquiry for the finer descriptions, and _prices remain steady. TALLOW.—The market has shown rather more activity, and prtcee are firmer, owing chiefly to the increased de mand for consumption. P.Y.C. on the spot is now 60s 6d, and 61 5 f or s p r i ng d o liTerY. quoted SOCIAL CON: riallVali A movement, thus far conducted prig ately,ced, but now sufficiently m a t ure t o b e publicly announ has resulted in the appointment of a. conference to be held in Birmingham on We Brougham,dr -esdar, the 23d January. It is pr omo t e d by Lords Shaftesbury, Teignmouth, Sir. J. Pakington, M.P., Sir Strafford Northeote, m :p., Sir A. H. Elton, Sir Andrew Agnew, M. 2,, Sir H. W. M oncre i ff, Mr. Adam Black, M.P.., the Lord Pr,,vost of Edin burgh, Mr. M. D. Hit), Recorder of. Birmingham, Miss Mary Carpenter, and numeroris other eminent members of the party devoted to. the cause of social improvement. The object of the conference is to bring to bear on Govrrnment arguments which will lead to the grant of public money towards the education of childrrzn who are neither criminals nor paupers, but whose parents are either unwilling or unable to pro Tide them witli it, partly or wholly, at their own expense. The promoters of the move ment first lay it down as an axiom that the State ought to furnish education to those who have no other means of obtaining it ; they next point out that this is a duty practically recognised in the case of pauper and criminal children, and then claimed for" neglected and destitute" children in general a right to participate in the same advan tage. By way of enforcing these considerations on general attention, they undertake, at the forth coming conference, to establish the following six points :—First, that at present no part of the Par liamentary grant for education is available for the general use of neglected children ; secondly, that this is a very numerous class ; thirdly, that the operations of Ragged and Industrial Schools have already proved that an immense amount of good is capable of beiig done by the influence of edu cation in this neglected field; fourthly, that such schools are unable, without public support, to deal with the evil effectually; fifthly, that the volun tary action of Christian benevolence is a neces sary element in the working of such schools ; and sixthly, that it is the duty of Government, by the liberal grant of pecuniary aid, to promote the necessary development of the schools, and to enable others to be established, so that the urgent wants of society may be fulfilled.—Birmingliaw Journal. THE ROAD CHILD MURDER. It is not improbable that another investigation of this mysterious case may take place before the Trowbridge magistrates at an earlier period than the application to the Court of Queen's Bench for a *fit ad melius inquirendum can be disposed of. Mr. Hughes, chief of the Bath police, with Mr. Inspector Norris, of that force, two officers of much sagacity, have for some weeks been diligently engaged in prosecuting inquiries into the murder at Road-hill-house, and their labours have been so far successful that they have traced out the impor tant fact that a chest flannel, similar to the one found under the body of the child, w as worn b y one of the inmates of Mr . Kent's house. At present the flannel which was discovered with the child is in the custody of the Wiltshire constabulary, and some hesitation has been manifested in handing it over to Messrs. Hughes and Norris for the purpose of endeavouring to procure its identification. This obstacle has at last been removed by the request of one of the Trowbridge magistrates, that the flannel may be placed in the hands of the Bath officers, and when this has been done and the identification satisfactorily established, other facts will be adduced, forming what is conceived to be a strong prima facie case against one of the inmates of Road-hill house. • The recent examination as to the blood stained garment found at Mr. Kent's residence on the day the murder was discovered rather indicated some indisposition on the part of the Wiltshire force to co-operate with the other police ; but it is to be. hoped 'that the mistake, which it is now admitted was made on that occasion, will not be repeated, and that the efforts of Messrs. Hughes and Norris may not be thwarted by any professional jealousy. DREADFUL SUICIDE IN DUBLIN. A most tragic occurrence took place in the house No. 68, Montgomery-street, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock on Saturday last. Mr. Sampson Carter, county surveyor of Kilkenny, arrived in Dublin from Kilkenny on the previous Monday, for the purpose of arranging some pecuniary diffi culties under which he had been labouring. Mr. Carter was observed to be labouring under the effect of mental depres sion during the entire of four days preceding his death. He left his hotel on Wednesday evening, and drove to the house of Mrs. O'Neill, No. 68, Montgomery-street, leaving behind him his luggage. One of the women living in the house, named Seymour, alias Montezuma, was the associate of Mr. Carter for some time previous to his death. On Friday the woman Seymour, 'echo was always with him in his bed room, observed a small double-barrelled pistol lying on a chair near his bed, but not observing anything extraordi nary or inconsistent in his manner or conversation, she took little notice of the circumstance. On Saturday a mutton chop was brought to him, of which he ate a small portion. At about 12 o'clock that day he called for some whisky and-seda-water, which he drank. At about one o'clock he directed the woman Seymour to leave the room for a short time. She did so, and joined her companions below stairs for about 10 minutes. A dull and stifled report of fire-arms was heard in Mr. Carter's room. Seymour and the other women immediately ran upstairs and rushed into the apart ment, where a fearful sight presented itself. The smoke of the exploded powder, as it dispersed, revealed the unfortu nate man lying on his back on the bed in the agonies of death. He held the pistol above referred to convulsively in his right hand, whilst the blood gurgled in volumes from the throat, and streamed from his nose. The alarm was given in the street, and the door of the house was soon besieged by crowds, consisting of persons living in the neighbourhood and wayfarers attracted by the screams of the affrighted women. Dr. Rigney was in prompt at tendance to render every assistance in his power, and if possible to save the life of the wretched man, who unfor tunately was past all human aid, and in a few minutes after the arrival of the medical man expired. Dr. Rig ney found that the deceased had placed the barrels of the pistol between his teeth and fired its contents upwards into the brain, where the bullet of the onebarrel, which exploded, lodged. The age of deceased is supposed to be about 56. Mr. Carter was a sen of Major Carter, of Kil kenny, an old and distinguished soldier. The deceased has left two sons, serving in the army in India, also two daughters. 1 coroner's inquest has since been held upon the body, when, after the production of evidence to the above effect, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased committed suicide while labouring under temporary insanity."

Although th, Indian Mutiny is now a matter of history, and many who w on renown in that terrible struggle are little thought of now, there are still a few whose matchless achievements have caused their names to be inscribed on the scroll of fame, in letters which the lapse of years cannot oblite rate, and foremost among these stands that of HENRY HAVELOCK. His gallant advance to the re lief of Lucknow struck the first blow to save British supremacy in the East. It was not so much the practical results, in a military point, gained by his success that contributed to this result, as the dread ' of defeat w hi c h i t occas i one d t h e enemy. When they saw a handful of Europeans disperse army after army, and still advance, they began to think of the days of Clive and Wellington, and their hearts failed them. Mr. Marshman has delayed the publication of these memoirs until the present time, in order to collect the various documents in reference to Havelock's military career, as well as information relating to his early life. For the success of the work, we could have wished that it had been presented, if possible, when all England rang with the name of Havelock ; besides, it is a great mis take in biographers to collect too much unimportant detail, which cannot interest the reader, nor yet , add any information concerning the subject of the memoirs. This fault has been committed by the author to a certain extent; had many of the letters been omitted it were much better. Nevertheless, we will not complain, seeing he has furnished, us with a very minute history of the gallant Major- General, who, from his youth upward, was a dis appointed man. He was naturally of a religious turn, and although ho had always a predeliction for the army, at the desire of his mother, to whom he was much attached, he determined to follow the law; differe nces w i t h h i s father however, obliged him to relinquish this profession. His brother who held a comm i ssion in the 43d Regiment, hav ing been of service to Baron Charles Alden, to whom he was aid e -d e - camp at Wa.terloo, the Baron promised to use his influence tra procure the ad vancement of his young friend. But William Havelock request e d him ra.tb or t o procure a com mission for his brother, wird which he a t once com plied. ;Once a soldier, Havelock d e t erm i ned to understand his profession, and devoted most of his time to study it as a science, reading Vauban, Lloyd, Teraplehoff, and Jomini ; in fact, he read every military memoir within his reach, and it is to this perseverance, joined to natural ability, that he owed his success, though his services lacked reward. We do not intend to follow young Havelock through a ll th e v i c i ss it u d es o f his ardu ous career ; it wou ld b e b u t t h e re p e tition of a story told, al as ! t oo o ft en , o f merit without patronage b e i ng l e f t i n th e rear , w hil e incapacity, aided by influence, walks over their heads. Tired of an inactive life, Havelock exchanged into the 13th Light Infantry, ordered for Calcutta. Havelock's military ability and his general con• duct soon won him the confidence of his superiors ; but his religious persuasions, which he carried almost to extremes, at least in the opinion of his brother officers, went against him ; in fact he over did it. Although his religious instructions to the troops did no harm to those who would not listen to him, it caused many who came into his congregation to become sober and steady men. The following passage will show the feeling on both sides : "It was during this period that Colonel Sale, who com manded the 13th, made the remark which has been inad vertently attributed to Lord Wm. Bentinck. Havelock's religious meetings among the men had irritated sonic of his brother officers, and a strong feeling of opposition to him had grown up in the regiment. On one occasion, while Havelock was confined to his couch for several dais by illness, it was reported that one of his saints' had been found drunk, and it furnished matter of triumph to his op ponents. On his recovery he requested a full investigation of the case in the presence of the colonel, when it was dis covered that there were two man of the same name in dif ferent companies in the coil-A, and that the man who had been intoxicated did not bolong to Havelock's company, or assemble with his little, congregation. It was then that Col. Salo exclaimed, in his blunt manner, I know nothing about Baptists, but I know that I wish the whole regiment were Baptists, for their names are never in the defaulters' toll, and they aro never in the congee—or lock-up—house.' The influence bf Havelock's Christian exertions, combined with his sound judgment and vigour of mind, was power fully felt, not only in his own regiment, but beyond its circle; and it has been well remarked by a Presbyterian clergy.nan, who enjoyed much domestic intercourse with him, that he was, in the highest and best sense of the w'ord, a noble Christian missionary, recommending, bath by precept and example, th e G os p e l o f Christ to all around. In him the military character was so clear and . so fully de veloped ; he was such a stern a nd r i g id di sc i p linarian ; and his command over his soldiers was so absolute that worldly men easily tolerated the saint in their admiration of the soldier.' His character was well defined in one expressive sentence, when Lord Hardinge said of him, he is every inch a soldier, and every inch a Christian." The adjutancy of the 13th having become vacant, Havelock applied for the appointment, which he ultimately obtained ; but Lord William I3entinch, in presenting it to Mrs. Havelock, showed her a num ber of letters from various officers, stating that her husband " was a Methodist and a fanatie—whose character as an officer was lowered by familiar intercourse with the men—whose strong religious views would prevent him from acting with impar tiality as adjutant." Lord Bentinck smiled, and said, from inquiries he had made, he wished that her husband could convert the whole regiment, but he added, " The adjutant must not preach." Thus it was that his religious zeal, admitted to be bene ficial, stood greatly in the way of his promotion. Appointed as an aide-decamp in the Burmese war, his evil genius caused the ship in which he was to be delayed by various causes, and to arrive at the scene of notion only in time to witness the success of his comrades. In the memorable retreat of General Sale from Cabul he was of eminent service ; in fact, he was one of the few that always hoped on, but, of course, the glory went to others. His letters relating to these terrible times are most interesting, writing as he does dispassionately, and taking a calm military view of his subject. While General Sale and his scanty garrison were anxiously awaiting succour besieged in Jellalabad by Akbar Khan's troops, the one survivor of the main body of the garrison of Cabul arrived. Havelock, in a letter, thus describes I it : "About two p.m. on the 13th of January, some officers were assembled on tie roof of the loftiest house in Jellala - bad. One of them espied a single horseman r idi ng t owar d s our walls. As he got nearer it was distinctly seen that he wore European clothes, and was mounted on a travel backed yaboo, which he was urging o n w ith a ll th e spee d of which it yet remained master. A signal was made to him by some one on the walls, which he answered by wav ing a private soldier's forage cap over his head. The Cabul gate was then thrown open, and several officers rushing out, received, and recognised in the traveller, who dis mounted, the first, and it is to be feared the last, fugitive of the ill-fated force at Cabul in Dr. Brydon. He was covered with slight outs and contusions, and dreadfully exhausted. His first few hasty sentences extinguished all hope in the hearts of the listeners regarding the fortune of the Cabul force. It was evident that it was annihilated. Countenances full of sorrow and dejection were immedi ately seen in every corner of Jellalabad ; all labour was suspended—the working parties recalled—the assembly sounded—the gates were closed, and the walls and batteries manned, and the cavalry stood ready to mount, The first impression was that the enemy were rapidly following a crowd of fugitives in upon the walls, but three shots only were heard in the direction of Char Bagh ; and when the effervescence in some measure subsided, not an Affghan could be discovered in that quarter, though numerous telescopes were directed to it. But the recital of 1)r. Brydon filled all hearers with horror, grief, and Indic nation." Shortly after the arrival of Dr. Bryeon, Havelock wrote to Serampore the following letter, which is characteristic of the cool, calculating, courageous soldier : " A wide and sweeping destruction has overtaken our force which formerly garrisoned Cabul. Their retreat was not a military operation in any way. Had they retired as a column, ever so late, they might indeed have lost their cannon and one-half their force ; but they could have ar rived under these walls with their colours, some show of discipline, and the other half of the force of every arm. But they credulously confided in Anglian faith, moved in the power and at the dictation of Akbar Khan, took up the positions which he pointed out, forbore to fire on the parti sans whom he had arrayed to destroy them ; and, as much to the last the dupes of intrigue and treachery as the victims of the sword, cold, hunger, and fatigue, have been engulfed in the eastern Ghilzye mountains. One fugi tive alone ha s reached us alive. "This has rendered our task a difficul t one, b u t I trust We can no we look its asperities in the face like soldiers. rid of longer trust our Affghan Irregulars, and ar getting ' them.

'We are reso l v ed on every eff)rt to save for Government Jellalabad and Easte rn Affghanistan. If it cannot then relieve us, we s i n k, but we shall, I trust, die like soldiers." The author's description of this ill-fated retreat through all its details are most graphically nar rated, he enters into the probable causes of the outbreak, shows how it might in all possibility have been averted ; he cites also high authorities to prove that the first war in Affghanistan should never have been undertaken; and, finally, he expatiates on the vacillating policy of the Governor- General, and his cowardly conduct at last in throw ing the responsibility of advancing upon Cabul on General Nott, by giving him leave to retire by way of Cabul. Havelock served with distinction with General Nott in the retreat via C abul ; and h is return he wrote a history of th e cam p ai g n, however, met with no success; in fact, wlcould want of never succeed as an author, not fr r o non e _" , his , ability, but from one cause o r anotlie n three productions were foit'inate. Having served in Persia, he returned in ill-health to England, and on his again 'going out he remained inactive until the mutiny called forth his energy and talent, and gave the neglected soldier an opportunity of gain ing greater distinction and higher hot.our than lay in the power of the War-office to bestow. Such is ,a brief sketch of the leading features of tilos( me moirs. We have made no'mention of Havelock's latter career. That is well known to all ; but to I those who desire to peruse carefully the life of tne undaunted General, together with the history of many memorable events which have taken place in India, such as the Burmese campaigns, the wars in A ffghanistan and Persia, all of which are de scribed with truth and ability, this work will prove highly attractive. THE BRITISH LFGION. (FROM A MEMBER OF THE LEGION.) SALERNO, Nov. 29. The departure of the English Legion from Caserta has been expedited by an occurrence of a somewhat unexpected nature, some of the Italian regiments stationed there having juioed in an at tack upon the members of the brigade, which began to assume a very serious aspect, so much so that it was necessary to separate the belligerents and transport the Legion to some distance from Caserta. The affair commenced on the evening of Tuesday, the 27th instant, and, so far as I can learn, would appear to have originated in some dispute which occurred at a cafe, between the English and a party of the Italian volunteers. The precise man ner in which the quarrel commenced is 'unknown, but it resulted in an attack being made upon the English, who were only some half-dozen or so in number, and were armed merely with their bayonets. They were driven out of the cafe into the street, but managed for some time to defend them selves successfully, until the number of their assailants had. very considerably increased. At this period I happened to be returning to the bar racks through the square where the affray com menced, and can record its result from personal observation. An immense crowd of Italian volunteers was assembled in the centre of the square, and in the midst were the English. Both parties appeared to be scuffling together, the mob surging to and fro amidst a scene of deafening shouts and cries. The English were borne into the Italian barracks, but contrived to fight their way out. A body of their oppon eats, amounting at least to 50 or 60, then rushed from their barracks, armed with drawn swords, heavy sticks, &c., and made an indiscrimi nate attack upon the English, who were compelled to retreat somewhat precipitately. One man who was standing a few paces front me, and who had not taken any part whatever in the affray, was struck to the ground by a blow on the head from a heavy stick, and his assailants gallantly surrounded and knocked him about until he was insensible. The whole body then rushed down the street lead ing to the English barracks, brandishing their swords and crying "Down with the English." The latter made the best of their way to their bar racks, with a view of rousing their comrades and returning with assistance, as it was known that several of the English volunteers were about in dif ferent parts of the town, and if they met any of the Italians in the infuriated state they were in it was feared, as most of the former were unarmed, they would be cut down without mercy. The fear was, to some extent, realised. as several of them who were returning to barracks by twos and threes were a good deal knocked about and bruised, but escaped without serious injury. In the meantime the great body of the Italians rushed up to the English barracks, pushed past the sentries, who were unable singly to oppose any resistance, and ran up the steps leading to the officers' quarters, clamouring for the English commandant. The English volunteers who had escaped from the melee ran up to their own quarters, and the cry of " Fix bayonets" resounded from room to room. Most of them had retired to bed, but in less than five minutes upwards of 100 were up, dressed, and down in the courtyard, with bayonets fixed to repel any further attack, and to render any assistance to their comrades that might be required. Major Smelt, the officer in command, whose privacy had been rather suddenly invaded by the Italians, came down and procured the assistance of General Zacchi and ofseveral other commanding officers, who endeavoured to pacify their men, who appeared to be satisfied with nothing less than the total and im mediate extirpation of the entire English brigade. The English officers also hurried down, and fortu nately met the body of their men, which was coming down at the" double," in time to prevent an actual collision, which in a. few moments more would have undoubtedly occurred, the number of the Italians having increased to between 400 and 500. For a long time the English refused to retire, a report hav ing got afloat that several of their number had been killed, and they were grad ually becoming as noisy and bellicose as their opponents. Major Smelt at length made his appearance, and comparative order having been obtained, he stated that he had seen Gen. Zacchi, who had promised that the whole matter should be investigated in the morning. There was no doubt that violence had been committed, but he (Major Smelt) gave them his word of honour that he would see that justice was done. He would ask them as a personal favour to go quietly to their beds, and they might rest satisfied that a thorough investigation would be made in the morning. The major's assurance had the effect of partially allaying the storm, and the English went to their rooms, the Italians having been at the same time got rid of by similar means. A strong patrol of the National Guard then went round the town to pick up all the English stragglers, who were ordered into barracks, the gates of which were also entrusted to their care. Several Englishmen were shortly afterwards brought in, some of them much hurt and bruised. Sergeant Clark of the 10th com pany, was killed, having received a bayonet thrust through the chest, and similar wounds in other parts of the body. Another volunteer named Lockhart, a private in the sth company, was also seriously wounded by b ayonet thrusts, and now lies at the hospital at Caserta in a very precarious condition. Immediate attention was paid to the men who were hurt, Major Smelt having gone through the rooms to ascertain how many . were their i ysnbote.dfsre. scot-frees n n j e u n r , e w d a o n w d e a r l e s i o n wit i state h t a the teo f intention great e x o e f i t c e a na l m e n t n t g , a t n h a e a c l ° ta l l i d an n s o t didbe pnerostuaedsecdapteo g en o ti t r o el many of them w ere a good deal knock e d a b out ; but I have not learned that any of them have re ceived serious in j ur y . Two privates in the Hungarian regiment,one of whom was mix e d up i n the com mencement of the affray, sided w i t h the English, and, ar med with heavy ston es , d e li vered one or two good knock-down blows. In the morning the Italians assembled in crowds round the hissing, groaning, and throwing stones at every Englishman who presented himself; being only kept from entering the barracks by the efforts of a detachment of the National Guard ; but more difficulty was experienced by our officers in keep ing their men in than the others out, they being as anxious as their opponents to resort to the arbitra ment of arms. THE MIDLAND AND LANCASHIRE AND YORK sit IRE RAILWAY S .—Rumours of an intention to amalga mate these companies have for some time been prevalent, and have exercised some influence on the value of their respective shares.
