The Amphion left again on the afternoon of the 31st to join Admiral Fanshawe's squadron at AGalta. The paddlewheel steam frigate Terrible, Captain Glasse, after taking in coals and a supply of fresh . ovisions,left Gibraltar on the Ist inst. for England. The Indiana steam transport, with a wing of the 14th on board for St. Lucia and Trinidad, left Gib ral tar on the 30th at 6 a m. !rhe,i'etinsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ea.

Don Carlos Montemar, who for the last two years has discharged the duties of Consul for the Queen of Spain at Gibraltar, took his departure in the Teodosio steamer for Cadiz on the 3d inst. The Vice-Consul, Don Joaquin Gonzalez y Iluet, had undertaken the duties of the Consulate until the arrival of the newly-appointed Consul, Mr. Rocca. From Cadiz Mr. Montemar will pro ceed to Madrid, prior to assuming the duties of his appointment as Consul-General at Athens, to which post he has lately been gazetted. Lituts. 11. A. Ankarcrona and Bergenstrahle, of tl e Swedish Life Guards, arrived at Gibraltar on the 2d from the late seat of war in Morocco, whither they had gone to witness the operations of the Spa nish army against the Moors. Lieut. Ankarcrona, who was wounded in the left hip in the battle of the 23d March, has been recommended to the Queen of Spain by Marshal O'Donnell for the Cross of San Fernando. These officers would shortly leave for Sweden, via Madrid. The Cadiz papers of the 29th ult. announce the arrival in that city of the recently appointed Civil Governor of the province, Mr. Mendez Vigo. The sailing frigate Baylen, of 40 guns, Capt. N. Chi carro, reached that port on the 28th from Havanna, after a passage of 42 days. The files of the Gibraltar Chronicle received by the Indus contain very little from the late seat of war in Morocco. The following are the principal items : "Amid the conflicting reports respecting the en gagements of the 23d ult. between the Spanish and Moorish forces, and the excitement of the public in Spain on the peace question, the following extract of a letter dated Camp, Tetuan, April 1, from one of Spain's most gallant and most distinguished generals, may prove of some interest : " The battle of the 23d was, indeed, very hotly contested. The Moors defended themselves with desperate fury, but they were forced to yield Wore our well-trained and disciplined troops. The losses on our side bear testimony to the resistance of the enemy; 120 chiefs and officers and upwards of 1,020 men were put hors de combat—more than half of them (57 officers and 556 men) belonging to the eight battalions under the command of Gen. Prim. . . . . The result of this last defeat of the Moors has been peace, and be it welcome. The honour of Spain, our dear country, is secured without humbling the vanquished. It is not humbling them to require just compensation for the expenses of the war.' " Moorish commissioners had arrived in the Spanish camp before Ceuta for the purpose of ar ranging with the Spanish authorities the new boun • dart' line to be established in conformity with the treaty of peace. " The Moorish loss in killed and wounded in the battle of the 23d ult. is stated at between 400 and '4 3 0 . " Accounts received from Tangier on the 4th men tion that on the 23d, the day the armistice and pre liminaries were signed, a ninforcement of 5,000 men of the tribe of Khamas (between Tetuan and the Riff) joined the Moorish camp ; and that on the 28th an additional force of 12,000 Ruffians arrived and encamped on the eastern bank of the Boosfilia, between Tetuan and Martin. The Riffians are Commended by Hamrish and Oolishky, the most powerful of their chiefs. " Sanguinary as was the battle of the 23d, it is probabl: that if the war had gone on and victory had continued to attend i the Spanish arms, success would at every step lave . been more dearly pur chased. The recent accession to the Moorish army is even more importanteethuainunits numerical amount would indicate, for it consists theem . most warlike tribes of " An Imperial order had be p en ire r . . received implicatedat Tangier for the public execution of the tw e o c in the late murderous attack oil Mr. J n ames mond Hay and the crew of the bark Zuleika ; Drum.ad Sunday last was fixed for carrying the order into u effect. Early in the afternoon .three colonels of the Sultan's Bukhara Horse arrived at 'rangier for the purpose of seeing their Royal master's order duly executed. Escorted by a numerous military guard, and heavily fettered, the unhappy criminals were soon afterwards led from prison to the principal market-place, and, a space having been cleared in the midst of the dense crowd which had assembled there, a party of soldiers with loaded muskets were drawn up within it, and prepared to dis charge their terrible duty. These preliininaries had scarcely been completed when further proceed ings were arrested by the arrival on the ground of Mr. Reade, her Majesty's Consul, accompanied by Messrs. James Drummond hay and Green. Mr. Reade had been instructed by her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires to state that, although the pri soners had been found guilty of participating in the murderous attacks which had led to the death ef the unfortunate mariner John Storny, it was doubtful whether either of them war the actual perpetrator of the murder, and therefore, at his intercession, her Majesty the Queen of England had been graciously pleased t. din at that his Majesty the Sultan should be moved to commute the punisl Aunt of death for that of imprisonment for a lengthened term. He requested, therefore, that the authorities would ab stain from givingimmediate execution to the Sul tan's order until a reference had been made to his Majesty. After some demur on the part of the au thorities this request was acceded to. The natives, ' who had lono. flocked in great numbers to the market place as execution they were under the impression that the e by their silence, otnhwe.as about to take place, showed, the sentence. their appreciation of the justice of uncenientowever greeted with satisfac tion the aino that th e li ves o f the unfortu nates had been spared, and poured bl ess i ngs on the English for their rneir,a rntercession.

ManyT of them encamped during the night with the Spanish troops, and on th e reveille being sounded at daylight the Moors began to dance at the sound of the music. They messed with the soldiers, and afterwards assisted in bury ing the dead of both armies which yet remained on the field." ./V A P 211. 1.t..:..c-Adniiral of the - White Hon. Sir H.

The following important circular has just been issued from the War-office, by order of the Secre tary of State for War : " Mr. Secretary Herbert desires that the particu lar attention of all the engineer officers should be called to the necessity of exercising the strictest economy of the public funds in the design of works and buildings for military purposes. " Cases have been recently brought before him where the provisions of the estimates submitted to the War-office have been so excessive that they must have been prepared by inexperienced subor dinates, and forwarded by commanding engineers without consideration or study. " All such designs are, it is true, submitted to an examination in the War-office, and a reduction is thereby often effected ; but the effects of such re vision are often arbitrary and unsatisfactory, un like savings effected by officers will are thoroughly mastering the requirements they have to fulfil, and who meet them in the most skilful and economical wanner. " There is reason to fear that there are engineer officers who consider the duty of designing beneath their notice, and who are too ready to place in the hands of subordinates duties which engineer offi cers in most other services in Europe perform un assisted, and which are really among the highest functions of the architect engineer, be he military or civil. " It being considered that military works ought to be designed by military men, in order that mili tary requirements may be fully attained, it is most illogical to place their duty in the hands of the civil branch of the department when there are military officers available. " Mr. Herbert does not allude to the works of fortifications, which on account of their magnitude it has been necessary to make special arrangements to carry out, but to the fulfilment of the numerous current services for barrack-store and general pur poses, amounting in the aggregate to a very large ' annual sum, which are executed from the designs made at thehead-quarters of each engineer distinct. "Mr. Herbert wishes that the designs for new works should, whenever it is practicable, be pre pared by an engineer officer whose name shall be attached to the design. When it is necessary to employ a civil member of the department he, also, shall sign the plan, and have the full share of re sponsibility which attaches to the designer. " The person employed should consider carefully what is the object to be attained and the means of attaining it ; he should compute the number of per sons, or quantity of traffic or stores for which he has to provide accommodation, and subordinate not only the dimensions of the different parts, but the degree of solidity, permanence, and finish given to them to the object in view. He should carefully consider the origin of the proposal, and whether he cannot avoid a new construction by the repair, re storation, or appropriation of some existing build ing. The Secretary of State for War will always be glad to consider such proposals if made with care and deliberation. " A few instances may be quoted wherein, from no want of professional skill, but rather from want of preliminary thought and consideration, consi derable unnecessary expense has been incurred or proposed. " In a recent instance a bridge was recommended across the moat of an obsolete fort, when a cause way of earth would have answered every purpose. A drawbridge, of a size and strength equal to the traffic of the entrance of a fortress, has been con structed to an insignificant coast-battery. " The bridge may have been faultless as a bridge, but the first thing to determine was whether it was indispensable, or whether it could not be replaced by some cheaper, but equally useful expedient. A jetty as required to ship ammunition from a magazine, the conditions being that 3,220 barrels and cases should be put on board in six hours. Railways were in use at the magazine in question, and the trucks running upon them each carried 20 cases. There were, therefore, 161 truck-loads to he conveyed to the head of the jetty and to return empty in six hours, or one truck-load every two minutes. To accomplish this it was proposed to construct a jetty to carry six double lines of rails, which would have given an average traffic of one truck every 12 minutes on each line. One double line of rails was found ample, and the work has been executed for one-seventh part of the original estimate. " But when the proper plan and dimensions are arrived at care and ju d gmen t a r e required in select ing the most suitable material, and applying it in the mode best calculated to attain solidity at as little cost as poss ibl e. It is often bad economy to build in too It temporarynla a manner, but the converse yearsamr materials tre required, qi i is also true. The best materialsnshooul be cheaper to build every 10 a n u l i s w r ev when u t buth than t mayy tsink d b ea, provided d e e sdu where h i e n r e stone. is quite proper to use inferior they will answer the purpose as well. r Herbert na ent , butd oes not wish abs o l u t e l y t o pro scribe m and with judgment, it should b e use d spar i ngly and never b cause any sensibl e increase to th e cost of the plinths, seldom make appearance of a building to the interior a t all ings. Heavy cut stone dressing, cornices, and an addition to the buildings, c ommensurate with th e i r cost. " High finish or expensive fittings of any part of military buildings are still more to be avoided, and are out of place in a profession where simple and frugal habits should be encouraged among all ranks. " Ogineer officers should endeavour to make the case their own, and do for the pubic servic e w h at they would do for themselves had they to find the funds. ' "Large as the public reven ue of her Majesty is, it is the bounden duty of every cit izen, and , above all, of every officer in her Majesty's pay, to make the revenue go as far as it can. " Mr. Secretary Herbert feels confident that many officers of engineers do give him tha assistance ho requires, and all can if they will only make the at tempt. Mr. Herbert sometimes hears as an excuse for costly work that ' it is necessary to do credit to the service,' but he is not prepared to give credit to any officer for an injudicious application of the means placed at his disposal from the public purse. " B. HAWES." A large party of the cavalry and infantry troops, to the number of 123 of all ranks, who have recently arrived at Chatham, having been invalided home from India, left the establishment, St. Mary's Bar racks, yesterday morning, to join their respective depots, the whole of that number having income convalescent, and after medical inspection pro nounced fit for further service, Thirty wounded and disabled troops of various corps, who were found to be totally unfit for further service, were also discharged from the service at Chatham yes terday, and forwarded from that garrison to their respective homes.

Yesterday afternoon a numerous party of troops, belonging to a variety of cavalry and infantry regi ments, to. the number of about 200 men of all ranks, arrived at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, from India, nearly the whole of them having completed their term of service, and been sent home to be dis charged. The troops belong to nearly every regi inept now serving in India. 2 1 11 E 111URDER, AT STANFORD. STAMFORD, THURSDAY. This morning the prisoner, Henry Corby, charged with the murder of Miss Elizabeth Puller, was brought up before the local magistrates for further examination. During the week which has elapsed since the last hearing of this horrible case, the police have been indefatigable in their efforts to connect the chain of evidence against the accused, and with what result appears below. The case continues to excite the most intense interest, and the court was again crowded. Sarah "Wallace was the first witness examined— She deposed to helpinc , the police in the examina tion of the deceased's body, and of the ashes in the fire-place, and to finding a piece of string, the re mains of a basket, and a tooth, which were produced in court. Robert March and Frederick Tatem gave evi dence to the effect that they had seen the prisoner with the desk, supposed to have been Miss Pulley's. Police-constable Dalrymple I produce some ashes found in the fire-grate of the prisoner's work shop, which I searched. Those ashes I delivered to Superintendent Ward. On the prisoner's premises I found a ladder lying across the saw-pit under the workshop. That ladder I removed to the police station. I was present when certain marks on the wall of Miss Pulley's back yard were measured by Superintendent Ward. (Ladder produced, it was about 14 feet in length.) Sophia Wooll—l live in Peake's yard. We pass Miss Pulley's back door• to get to our house. I saw a ladder lying for three or four days under the rail way wall, near to the deceased's back door. The last day that I saw the ladder there was Saturday, the 17th March. My attention was specially called to the ladder from seeing some children playing with it, and I asked a young man in the employ of Mr. Barns (a neighbouring plumber), to take it away, but he said it was not his. John Hill gave similar evidence, and identified the ladder. William Pollard—On the 24th March I removed the board which was burnt through, and over which the body of Miss Pulley lay when she was found dead. I cut it out from the floor, and now produce it. (It was of oak and about an inch thick.) I have examined some ashes (also produced) which were found in the fire-place of the deceased's house. The ashes in paper No. 1 are of deal ; those in paper No. 2 I believe to be of mahogany ; others in a box, marked 3, are of oak. I searched the privy at tached' to the house of the deceased ; this was on the 24th March. On the surface of the soil in the vault I found two towels, now produced. There was not much soil in the vault. The towels were not di rectly under the hole in the seat, but rather for wards—one being more forward than the other. One of the towels was marked with blood, which was dark, but not moist. From the state of the soil, I consider that the towels had been recently thrown into the vault. There was recent soil upon them, quite recent. The towels I locked up in the washhouse, and they were afterwards delivered to police-constable Dalrymple. (The towels were of a coarse description, apparently for common kitchen use.) On removing the board near the hearth-stone, I took up the ashes which had fallen through the burnt hole. I searched for a ring, but found none. produce the ashes, amongst them are some small pieces of turf. On searching the privy I found two finger bones in the vault, they were burnt to a cinder. Superintendent Ward—On the 24th March I saw the ladder produced on the premises of the prisoner: On the following day (Sunday) I examined the wall on Miss Pulley's premises, in which is a door leading from the back lane into the garden. This wall joins and runs at right angles to the railway. Thisgarden wall is 11 feet 6 inches high. It has a coping stone 20 inches wide. The coping is of a soft stone, and in clines out wards towards the lane. On the outer edge of the coping stone, next the lane, immediately over the door, I noticed that the weather-beaten surface had been rubbed offin two places about 11 or 12 inches apart. Since that I have compared those marks on the wall with the ladder produced. Wheu the foot of the ladder was 3 feet 9 inches from the base of the wall, and the ladder was inclined to the wall, the sides of the ladder fitted the marks exactly. The mark on the north side was wider than the other. I found that the wide side of the latter cor responded with the wider mark and the narrow side with the narrower mark. There were no im pressions of the ladder visible, it is hard beaten ground. I noticed a small quantity of gravel lying on the flat side of the coping stone, and on the inner edge next the garden there was a small per. tion of dirt adhering to and hanging over, as if scraped from something. I examined the gravel and found it to be of the same kind as that compos ing the walk leading from the garden door to the house of the deceased. I produce a box of ashes and papers, Nos. 1 and 2. The ashes I received from Police-constable Dalrymple. I did not ob serve any ladder marks on the inner side of the garden wall or in the garden. In the course of an examination of the garden I found a halfpenny at the upper end on the grass. Near to the spot where I picked up the halfpenny I observed on a flower bed an impression of a nailed boot or shoe. Other evidence was given, to the effect that the prisoner, who had been in debt' for small amounts previous to the murder, had discharged them soon after, and had appeared flush of cash. Application was then made for a further remand, an intimation being given to the Bench that fur ther evidence of an important character would be then adduced. The prisoner was remanded until Thursday next. SUPPOSED DOUBLE MURDER NEAR 111ANCILLAS'TER. Early yesterday morning information reached the police-station at Pendlebury, near Manchester, that an old man named Scholes ' hnd his son, who lived at Irlarns-o'-th'-Height, had been found dead in their cottage under circumstances leading to the belief that a fearful and mysterious crime had been committed. Sergeant Lee, of Pendlebury, arrived at the house at 7 o'clock, and Mr. I3irks, Mr. Booth, and Mr. Ashburner, surgeons of the neighbourhood, were in attendance about the same hour. It appeared that the elder of the deceased, William Scholes, aged about 75, was a man living on a small independent income in one of three cot tages situated at the junction of the Swinton and Pendlebury roads. The other victim, 'William Ed ward Scl.oles, was about 41 years of age. Another son, Joseph Scholes, works at the printing-office of Alessrs. Bradshaw and Blacklock, at Manchester. The two sons slept together in one bedroom, the ' father occupied anotl-er and a daughter, arah Eliza Scholes, had a third. The only account of the discovery that has yet been obtained was given by Joseph Scholes to Sergeant Lee. His statement is to the effect that on the previous day he left home for his work after dining comfortably with the family about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. On his way back in the evening he was seized with a fit while passing through Salford, and taken up by the police, who suppo se d h e was d run k. At th e S a lf or d police-station, it b ecame apparen t th a t h e was suf fering from an infirmity, and he was liberated. On reaching home about 9 o'clock he found no one downstairs, but heard his sister moving in her room overhead, and a fi n ts d , making a noise which was habitual with her. The surgeons are informed that she is bed, and durinfannds bedroom door was locked. Joseph Scholes went to . is k considered deranged.

MANSION -HOUSE.--An eccentric-looking middle-aged man, eyidently belonging to that ex tensive class of "seedy respectables" who have seen better days, was charged with breaking a s quare of glass, value 2i., belonging to the Corporation of the City of London. Mr. Gooarnan (chief clerk).—l see by the charge sheet that you have refused to give your name—do you still refuse ! Prisoner.—Well, yes—l'd rather not, if it's all the same. Police-constable 367.—Herc is a packet of letters which I-took from him. Sir It. Carden.—Hand it up, I dare say we shall find his name there. Prisoner.—Well, now mind, I do not want to give offence ; but understand, I do not want my name to be exposed, and I should not have had those letters in my pocket if I had had any idea that they would have been taken from me. Sir R. Carden—Oh, I see your name is ---, is it not ? Prisoner—Well, yes it is, but you see I do not want my name to get into the papers. Sir R. Carden—Those who commit offences must take their chances of that. Go on, officer. Police constable 3 6 7—Yesterday afternoon after the business of the court was over I saw the prisoner standing outside the Mansion-house, and asked him what he wanted. He replied, to see the magistrate, and I told him it was too late for that, upon which he immediately smashed a square of glass in one of the windows, and I took him into custody. Sir It. Carden—How could a man like you do such a stupid act as that P Prisoner—Well, you see, what was Itodo ? I was quite destitute. I had neither food nor shelter. Sir It. Carden—You might have got both by going to the union, and now you will have to go to prison. Prisoner (in a cheerful tone)--Well, I would rather go to prison than go to the workhouse. Sir lt. Carden— Oh, you would, would you ? Prisoner—Yes, I would, indeed. You know there is no accounting for tastes. Sir R. Carden—You must be aware, as a man of education, that it was very wrong to injure the pro perty of others.. Prisoner (with a sigh)—Well, yes ; it was very wrong, I admit; but (brightening up a little) I dare say I shall pay for it soma day—that is, if I live long enough. Sir R. Carden—You will have to pay for it now or go to prison. You ought not to have broken it. Prisoner—Well, now what was I to do ? Yes terday I had nothing to break my fast. On Tues day I only had some potatoes that I picked up in the street, and half of them I gave to my dog before I hanged hi:xi, and on Monday I had nothing but a pipe of tobacco. Sir R. Carden —All that does not justify your breaking the window. I suppose your object was to excite symp a th y ? Prisoner—W e ll , yes, it was. Sir R. Carden—Th en I think you are likely to b e disappointed. Prisoner—Oh, I do not mean that I expected to get anything here ; but I thought that if the case got into the newspapers, some eccentric individual— like myself, for instance—would take pity on me, and provide me with the means of getting a liveli hood. Sir R. Carden—Well, you must pay 25., or go to prison for three days. Prisoner—Oh , i f you send me at all, I hope you will send m e f or a l onger time than that. Sir R. Card en — Why do you wish so ? Prisoner—Why, what can I do when I come out ? I am afraid I must do the same again. Sir R. Carden —Then you must be prepared to take the consequences. Prisoner—l suppose I must. However, I hope my name will not get into the papers, as it may injure me hereafter; for (hopefully) perhaps 1 may return to my own profession by and by. . The prisoner, who was understood to have be longed to a scholastic profession, was then removed. Elizabeth Fasselow, aged 7 years, was again brought up by a policeman, who had found her wandering about the City in a destitute condition. She had been similarly charged last Saturday, when it was proved that she was taken to the City of London Union at 4 o'clock in the morning, and refused admittance by the relieving officer, who, in c 3urt, said his object was to frighten her by having her locked up, so as to prevent her coming into the City in future. The Lord Mayor, however, with much warmth, repriman ded this official, and ordered that the child should be taken to the union, leaving the guardians to seek their remedy against the father, a labouring man, resident in Lambeth. The relieving officer was again in attondance, as was also Mr. Bowring, clerk to the City of London Union, to watch the case. It was stated that the child was carefully sent home to her father by the union officials ; and a re spectably-dressed woman said she knew the father well, and for some years had helped to take care of the child (whose mother was dead), but that the girl, young as she was, was continually running away from home, and could nut be kept under any sort of restraint. _ _ The Lord Mayor said all that might be, but what was to be done with a child of such tender age ? Surely the union might take care of her, and charge her father with the expense. However, it was cer tainly wrong in the relieving officer to refuse to receive her into the City of London Union. Mr. Bowring—Since your lordship again refers to that, allow me to say that he acted under my instructions. The Lord Mayor—Then they were very bad in structions, sir. M r. B owr ing—lt is a course we were compelled to take by the frequency of her appearance among us. The Lord Mayor (peremptorily) —I want to hear no more from you, sir. Mr. Bowring—l think your lordship might act with courtesy to one who is here as a public officer. The Lord Mayor—Hold your tongue, sir, if you please. I don't wish to hear another word from you on the subject. So be silent. Mr. BosNring—l shall not be silent. I have a right to speak. The Lord Mayor—l tell you again, sir, that no thing can justify the conduct of roar relieving officer in turning that little child away from the union to wander about the streets at four o'clock in the morning. Alr. g—Your lord s hip i s wrong th ere . You io r B thate Orrin she was in c h arge o f a po li ceman g at the time, and our officer is bound to obey his in• structions as the City officers are bound to obey theirs. _ _ The Lord Mayor—l don't wish to hear any more from you. Take the child to her union. Mr. Bowring—Then she must go to Lambeth. The Lord Mayor—Then, sir, send an officer with her there. Mr. Bowring—No, let one of the City officers take her. This is their charge now, and we have nothing to do with it._ The Lord Mayor—Your conduct does you very ittic credit, sir. Mr. Bowring—That may be your lordship's opi nion, but other people may judge differently. The contest of tongues then ceased, and the child was sent home to her father. GUILD H ALL —AN ADMITTED BETTING HOUSE. —Mr. Benjamin Jones, the proprietor of an Alton ale-house, on Snowhill, was charged before Alder man Hale with assaulting the police i❑ the execu• lion of their duty, Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared for the defence. Policeman Mobbs,26s, said he was on special duty to prevent obstruction on Snowhill, and to report any disorderly conduct that might occur in the licensed houses in the neighbourhood. He saw a number of persons standing in front of the defen dant's house, and their betting-books in their hands, and upon seeing him approach they immediately entered defendant's house, Witness looked in, and saw the front of the bar crowded to excess with per sons who were all engaged with their books, and no refreshment appeared to have been served to any of them. A person, who said he was Mr. Jones, told witness to go away, or he would put him away, and soon afterwards th e d e f en d ant ca me ou t and said, " What are you fellows (the officers) doing here ? You are injuring my business; for no one will come in while you are at the door." The defendant also threatened to "smash his arm with a stick, or knock his brains out, if he looked in again." Several men shorly after entered the house with betting-books in their hands, and witness again opened the door to see if ally betting transitions were taking place, ' when the defendant struck at him with a stick, and afterwards struck hi m w i t h h i s left hand on the breast, seized him b y t h e coat, and tried to drag him into the house, an d was on l y prevented b y wit ness dragging him out, and taking him into cus tody for the assault. Cross-examined —lle was only a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes, watching the defendant's house. It was not an , hour and a h a lf . He did not prevent customers from entering the house. He saw a female datid not onedkonoro,w she apparentlywas defendant's watching the idfoo. u or,b v ut w he a: obliged to throttle the defendant to make him re lease his hold of his coat. There was no noise or con fu-ion, es the parties were all engaged in betting. Police-constable Dailey, 89, corroborated the evi dence of Mobbs 1 1 all save oue particular. He said he did see two glasses of ale on the counter, as if some of the company were having refreshment. Mr. Humphreys, for the defence, stigmatised the complaint as one of the most summary character that a magistrate had ever been troubled with. It was quite clear, whatever the instructions Mobbs the policeman had received, that he had exceeded his duty in the manner in which he had carried them out. There was not a more respectable hotly of men in existence to be found than the London police, but unfortunately there were a class of per sons who felt that the only way to perform the duties assigned them was by irritating and exciting every ' one with whom they came in contact, and Mobbs appeared to belong to that class. Mr. Jones was a very respectable man. He had kept this house for nearly a dozen years, and this was the first com plaint that had ever been brought against him. lie was ready to admit that his was a betting house, inasmuch as be executed commissions in betting and racing matters, and advertised himself es a commission agent for such affairs; but there was nothing illegal in that. A man was perfectly jus tified in pursuing such a line of business as long as he did not infringe the law, and the defendant had not rendered himself in any way amenable. In this particular instance the policeman Mobbs was hovering about the house for about an hour and a half, poking his head in at the doOr occasionally, by which means customers were deterred from entering the house. Mrs. Jones remonstrated with Mobbs, and nately called down her husband, who was ill in bed, to re move the officer from the door. The defendant accordingly expostulated with him, but he totally denied having used a stick or striking Mobbs. He merely pushed him from the door, and there were several gentlemen present who would depose to the annoying manner in which the constable was dodg ing about the house all the morning, as well as to the brutality with which he dragged Mr. Jones out of his house to the police-station on this charge, in consequence of which violence Mrs. Jones, who was in an advanced state of pregnancy, had been thrown upon a sick bed, and it was impossible to say what might be the result. Alderman Hale said what Mr. Humphreys had said was mere statement against evidence upon oath. From the defendant's advertisement as a betting agent, it was apparent to the officer that betting transactions were carried on in the house, and that was something like a good reason for watching the house. He did not mean to say Mobbs had exceeded his duty in this instance, but he thought that as the defendant had been locked up, and put to much trouble and expense in attending this court, that a fine of ss, would meet the case. After some demur the fine was paid, and all par ties left the court mutually dissatisfied. REV. C.II. SPURGEON' ON THE SOCIAL EVIL. Yesterday morning the 'Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon preached a sermon, on behalf of the Society for the Rescue of Young Women and Children, at the Rev. W. Brock's chapel, Bloomsbury-street, New Oxford street. - The attendance was large. The rev. gen tleman selected for his text John viii. 10, 11, " When Jesus had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers ? Hath no man condemned thee 9' She said,' No man, Lord.' And Jesus said unto her, ' Neither do I condemn thee ; go and sin no more.'" After a few introductory remarks, Mr. Spurgeon directed the attention of the congrega tion, first, to Jesus Christ's estimate of this poor wo man's sins. Her's was adultery, which was usually set at the head of all those crimes which might be gathered up under the terns of licentiousness and lasciviousness. The Lord's estimate of that sin was not to be viewed as light because he said" Neither do I condemn thee." He came not into the world to judge, and therefore in what He said to her He was only trying to direct her thoughts to Him who was able to save her to the uttermost. Were the Lord among them that day He would tell them what He thought of fornication ; He would describe its filthiness and its terrible consequences in this world and also in the world to come in a way that would chill their very brain ; He would tell them that the sin lay not only in the deed but in thought ; he that looked on a woman to lust after her already committed adultery. But if any of their fallen sisters were there, let him (Mr. Spurgeon) say that he spoke not only unto them, but also to their fallen brothers who were received into society instead of being scouted. When they went to their lascivious beds let them think they would one day make their bed in hell. They went to their sins thinking they were sowing the wind ; but they would reap the hurricane which would tear them to pieces. The sin of which he was speaking was one of the vilest of the vile, and no apology could be offered for it. He would not enter into the details of its special wretchedness, as it was sufficient to say that God had put His stamp on it. It was like pain, it bore its sure mark on its victims. God would not have appointed such terrible consequences to a sin that was not very heinous. No rotten bones, no foul diseases, no delirium, and many other calamities would have been connected with it if God did not hate it. But the second part of his subject was far more interesting than the first—Jesus Christ's method of bringing these poor wanderers in. He did not condemn them, but said, Go and sin no more. The reason He did this was because the con demnation against this sin had had but a feeble effect. Moses decreed stoning; but how ineffectual it was, seeing that a whole host of Pharisees in dulged in it. The penalty had evidently failed to produce the desired effect, This one instance might be confirmed by all history. When any very strin gent law was made against a crime, they had gene rally seen that that very crime increased. Forgery, horse-stealing, Szc., were far more rampant when punished by execution than they were in their own day. Mere punishment, mere law and terror had always failed in subduing the wickedness of the human heart. Certainly he did not deny that it had had a slight check on wickedness, but at the same time the thing had been a defeat and not a conquest. The conduct of the Lord was right to wards the woman, because unless they were pre pared to say that Jesus Christ's nature was a mis taken one they could not say He was mistaken in this act. But he (Mr. Spurgeon) did not see how Christ could have condemned the woman. There were two taken found committing adultery, and only one of the guilty persons brought before Him. If she had been before any judge, surely he would have said, " Bring the other also." And when they saw the Christian Church acting as a mighty nation,looking down on the fallen daughters of Eve, did they not all say, " Why does she not do so to the men ?'' because they were the ringleaders in sin—they first pulled their daughters from the stars and hurled them down to the depths of miry clay. Many men who were reeking in filthiness were allowed to mingle with the church; but the poor f 'lien woman was looked &mu on and despised. A Christian minister might walk with a man who was said to be a "little too fast," and nothing was said; but if he was seen talking with a poor fallen woman, endeavouring to rescue her from her evil life," she was not called " fast," but something worse, and some ill intention set down to the credit of the minister. What, lie asked, was the difference ? He could not see. lie felt if he went on he should con demn the men for their sin. It was but the other evening, when coming out of a crowded meeting, lie saw a young lady accosted by a respectably dressed gentleman, who began speaking to her. His feelings were roused, and he Is ished he could have knocked the man down. (A slight titter.) Had it been done to sonic poor woman, he might have offered up a prayer for her, but to see a man doing such an act to a respectable girl—a man who would go home to his family, go on 'Change, and pretend to be a gentleman —was more than he could bear. If Ile was rather strong in his feelings he could not help it, for he could not see why the sin of the man should be slurred over, and that of the woman brought forth. He wanted, lastly, to tell them what they could do towards following out the ex ample indicated in the text. They had been putting far away from them those who had been tainted with this sin, and the effects of it might be seen every day and every night. They had thrust them out from every village and city, from every h ome o f examp l e, f rom ever y association that might lift them heavenward ; and where were they now ? They woke up all of a sudden, and cried out agai ns t th e grea t S oc i a l Evil, which they had helped through their apathy to create. What, then, were they to do to put a stop to it? Now that the law had proved a failure, let them try what the Gospel could do. The Society for the Rescue of Young Women and Children was doing great good by th e h o ldi ng of midnight meetings. At the Southwark meeting he believed upwards of 26 fallen women were taken to the Refuge. The so ciety to which he had referred had undertaken not only the task of rescuing those women, but of feed ing them; but their funds were exhausted. Thro ug h the midnight meetings they had received so many that thy required over £lO.O per day to supp ort them. After they had been in the society for some time, they were sent as servants where they were not known, where they could regain their charac ters and begin the world again. if there Were any who could refuse to contribute on that mo rn i ng to such a benevolent object, he did not ea v y t h em. He trusted, however, there would be very few s uc h but that all would give to the utmost of thei r power , that they might house the poor creatures Who were willing to flee to.the ark. of refuge to esc a p e f rom their evil ways.
