" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of th e var io u s kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

' The annual general meeting of this institution (-). 'as held yesterday at the London Tavern—Rear .dmiral the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot pre siding. The CHAIRMAN, after a few introductory sen tences, spoke in congratulatory terms of the success which had crowned the institution during the past twelvemonths. The number of lifeboats had consi derably increased, and a much greater amount of life had been saved from shipwreck than during any previous corresponding period. He then referred to the special claims which the institution had upon the mercantile interests, and upon marine insurance companies, and upon the community at large, its object being to preserve the lives of others who were engaged in the arduous and dangerous, but at the same time to a commercial country necessary, occupation of navigating ships, and to mitigate one of the greatest calamities with which Providence was pleased to afflict the human race. Mr. LEWIS, the secretary, then read the report, an abstract of which has already appeared in Tke Sun. Mr. T. CHAPMAN moved the adoption of the re• port, and expressed his satisfaction that there was a great increase in the number of lifeboats given by individuals, and also that the exertions of the institution had induced various foreign govern ments to provide lifeboats to be stationed in dan gerous parts of their respective coasts. Many of such boats had been ordered through this institu tion, and upon their principle. Mr. ALEX. BOCKEEUR seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr. It B. FORBES, president of the Humane Society of Massachusetts, moved a resolution ex pressing the satisfaction of the meeting that the institution now possessed 101 lifeboats—the largest life-saving fleet in the world—and urging exertion to enable the institution to maintain its present position and extend its operations. He pointed out various points on our coasts which were still defi -oient in means for the saving of life, and added that 'the comparatively small state of Massachusetts had GO lifeboats, besides rocket stations. He mentioned that one benevolent lady, Miss Dicks, had provided three lifeboats at her own cost, and placed them on a dangerous part of the coast of Nova Scotia. Ifs referred especially to the absence of direct assist ance in providing lifeboats on the part of the Go vernment, who were so deeply interested in the subject, and urged that shipowners and mercantile men generally ought to be more liberal in their support. It would be most desirable if the Hydro grapher to the Admiralty caused to be inscribed on all charts the positions where lifeboats and mortar stations were placed. Sir E. PERROT having seconded the motion, it was carried. Resolutions were afterwards passed, thanking the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, and the marine department of the Board •f Trade, for aid aff o rd e d by th em t o th e institu tion ; and also to the Commodore, Comptroller- General, and the officers and men of the Coast guard service, for their continued valuable assistance; ro Mr. T. Baring, M.P., the chairman, Mr. T. Chap man, the deputy-chairman, the committee of man agement, and local committees ; such resolutions being spoken to by Admiral Herbert, Admiral Gor don, Sir G. Seymour, and the Hon. F. Maude. On the motion of Mr. T. BARING, seconded by Admiral R. BURTON, thanks were then voted to the noble chairman, and the meeting separated. 111.18 L 3 Y'S 11141-?KETS. CORN EXCIIANGE. Coastwise a moderate supply of English wheat has come to hand this week ; but fresh up to-day, by land carriage, the receipts of that grain were very limited. For nearly all kinds there was a fair demand, at Monday's currency, and at which a clearance of the stands was easily effected. The imports of foreign wheat are only 2,280 quarters. In good and useful qualities rather more business was pass ing than of late, at very full prices. Inferior parcels, how ever, were a dull inquiry, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow sale, but not cheaper. We were again very scantily supplied with barley, espe cially find samples. Tko trade ruled steady, at extreme rates. Malt was in moderate supply and sluggish request, on former terms. There was a fair salo for oats, the arrivals of which were limited, at full quotations. Beans and peas moved off slowly, on former terms; but the flour trade was in a heavy state. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, IVIARCH 16, 1860.

N-E TY aRhAR , NIN ciIANGERy The following new General Orders and Rules of the High Court of Chancery, dated the Gth day of March, 1860, have been issued by the Lord Chan cellor : " The Right Hon. John Lord Campbell, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, by and with the advice and assistance of the Right Hon. Sir John Romilly, Master of the Rolls, the Right Hon. the Lord Justice Sir James Lewis Knight Bruce, the Right Hon. the Lord Justice Sir George James Turner, the Hon. the Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Torin Kindersley, the Hon. the Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, and the Hon. the Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, doth hereby, in pursuance and execution of all powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, order and direct in manner following : "I. F - rom and after the 15th day of April, 1860, the practice of engrossing answers on parchment shall be discontinued, and a defendant (except as otherwise provided for by order No. 5) is to file his answer, written bookwi se , upon pa p er o f th e same size and description as that on which bills are printed. "11. At the time when a defendant files his answer he is to leave with the Clerks of Records and Writs a fair copy thereof (without the sche dules, if any, of accounts or documents), and the Clerks of Records and Writs are to examine and correct such copy, with the answer filed, and re turn it so examined, with a certificate thereon, that it is correct and proper to be printed. " 111. A defendant is then to cause his answer to be printed from such certified copy on paper of the same size and description, and in the same type, style, and manner on an d i n w hi c h bill s are re quired to be printed, and before the expiration of four days from the filing of his answer is to leave a printed copy thereof with the Clerks of Records and Writs, with a written certificate thereon by the defendant's solicitor, or by the defendant if defend ing in person, that such print is a true copy of the copy of the answer so certified; and if such printed copy shall not be so left the defendant shall be subject to the same liabilities as if no answer had been filed. " IV. At any time after the expiration of such four days the defendant, within forty-eight hours after the same shall have been demanded in writ ing, is to have ready for delivery to the plaintiff an official and certified printed copy of the answer. " V. Notwithstanding the precedi ng or d ers a defendant is to be at librty to swear to and file a printed answer. " VI. On receiving from the plaintiff a demand for an official and certified printed copy of the an swer, the defendant is to ;het a printed copy thereof examined by the Clerks of Records and Writs, with the answer as filed, and to stamp such copy with a Chancery stamp for ss. ; and the Clerks of Records and Writs, on finding that such eopy is duly stamped and correct, are to certify thereon that the same is a correct copy, and to mark the same as an office copy. " VII. Such copy is, on demand, to be delivered to the plaintiff, who, on receipt thereof, is to pay to the defendant the amount of the stamp thereon, and at the rate of 4d. per folio for the same. " VIII. The plaintiff is also to be entitled to de mand and receive from the defendant any addi tional number of printed copies of his answer, not exceeding ten, on payment for the same at the rate of one halfpenny per folio. " IX. After all the defendants who are required to answer shall have filed their answers, a co-de fendant is to be entitled to demand and receive from any other defendant any number of printed copies of his answer, not exceeding six, on payment for the same at the rate of one halfpenny per folio. " X. Office copies of schedules to answers of ac counts or documents are to be obtained according to the practice now existing for obtaining office , copies of answers. XI Where a plaintiff is required to answer in terrogatories he is to file his answer thereto, and to get such answer 'printed, and to furnish printed copies thereof iu the same manner as a defendant is by these orders required to do with respect to his answer. " XII. The Clerks of Records and Writs are not to certify or mark any printed copy of an answer which has any alteration or interlineation in writing. " XIII. No costs are to be allowed either as be tween party and party, or as between solicitor and client, for any written brief of an answer unless the Court shall direct the allowance thereof. XIV. Solicitors are to be entitled to charge the fees mentioned in the schedule hereto. " XV. These orders are not to apply to answers filed by defendants or by plaintiffs defending or suing in forma pauperis, except oilier I. " XVI. Written bills, pleas, demurrers, special cases, duplicates of summonses originating proceed- ings in Chambers, records for trial, interrogatories, examinations, traversing notes, replications, supple mental statements, exceptions, and certificates to be filed in the office of the Clerks of Records and Writs, are to be written on paper of the same de scription and size as that on which bills are printed. " Affidavits to be filed in the office of the Clerks of Records and Writs are to be written on foolscap paper bookwise. Depositions of witnesses are to be written on foolscap paper bookwise or briefwise, as the examiner may think fit. Provided, nevertheless, that the Clerks of Records and Writs may receive and file affidavits and depositions written otherwise than as here directed, if, in their opinion, the cir cumstances of the case render such reception and filing desirable or necessary. " XVI. In these orders the following words have the several meanings hereby assigned to them over and above their several meanings, unless there be something in the subject or context repugnant to such construction (that is tc say), words importing the singular number include the plural number, and words importing the plural number include the singular number, and words importing the mascu line gender include females.

" JOHN STUART, V.-C. " W. P. WOOD, V.-C." PBOIIIOTIONS IN TILE The working officers of the Army look with no favour on Mr. S. Herbert's proposal to select the Lieutenant-Colonels of Regiments from among the Majors. They know too well the theory and prac tice of the Horse Guards in the distribution of patronage. Unhappily, their fears are by no means groundless. Only a few days ago Gene ral Ashburnham obtained a regiment, though he had returned from the East in disobedience of orders. And even now it is said that Lord George Paget is about to replace General Law renson at Aldershott, though his lordship's ex ploits as commander of "Paget's Irregular Horse " are not yet forgotten. This is only one of many instances of the pertinacity with which the Horse Guards stick to a Job. Only two years ago an attempt was made to create the ne w o ffi ce o f In spector-General of - Cavalry in India for the benefit of this nobleman, but it was frustrated by public remonstrance. It was not quite tolerable that a young nobleman, who had converted a first-rate cavalry regiment into " Irregular Horse," an d had, after coming home from the Crimea during the cam paign, expressed a sensible reluctance to return to his duties, should be sent to India to inspect the troops of such men as Jacob and Sir Hope Grant. His advancement was stopped for the time ; now after two years he appears again upon the scene. His lordship is to undertake the lucr a ti ve an d no t unpleasant duty of commanding a bri ga d e a t Alder shott. His command will last five years ; and during that period the model camp will b e use d f or the purpose, not of educating you ng officers who are devoted to their profession, but of supplying a yearly income to a gallant cavalier wh ose f avoure d name is more than a substitute for zeal and in telligence. No doubt Cavalry o ffi cers are pre pared with sufficient coolness to assert that the public know nothing of the matte r , an d t h at t h ey i have no right to ntErfere with her Majesty's prero gative. Nor should we be surprised to find many of them, like Lord Lucan, vindicating the excel lencies of the Cavalry officers against their own written despatches, and some old veterans backing them up. But the public have seen too much of late years to put much faith in military opinions. They have only to look at " Hart's Army List" to satisfy themselves that soldiers both older and better than Lord G. Paget are s till unemploye d. In short, the • appointment of this new Brigadier is only too consistent with the fact that Sir R. Airey, K.C.8., and the Hon, Colonel Gordon re main at the Horse Guards,. at the ve r y mo ment when other staff officers are changed. Surely if any real intention exists to remedy the system which advanced these officers, ne ith er Sir Richard Airey, nor Colonel Gord on s h ou ld h ave been allowed to retain their present office a me meat longer than the two years.—Daily News. THE WEST INDIA PACIFR; MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Shannon, Capt. Abbott, with the above mails, has arrived, bringing dates from Honduras to the 17th Feb.; Grey Town, 15th ; Colon, 23d ; Demerara, 25th; .... . _ _ Trinidad, 2ith ; Barbadoes, 27th; Grenada, 26th; St. Vincent, 26th; Antigua, 29th; Jacmel, 28th; Tobago, 24th ; St. Kitts, 29th ; and St. Thomas, March Ist. The Shannon brings 73 passengers, including R. Seymour, Esq., Superintendent of British Honduras, from Belise. Her specie consists of gold bullion 72,454 doL, silver bullion 233,910 dole., British coin 4,700 dols., pearls 6,060 dols., foreign gold coin 20,487 dols., foreign silver coin 113,718 dole., and copper coin 370 dols.—total value 451,699 dole. Her cargo comprises 55 serons cochineal, 77 sorons in digo, 467 bags cocoa, 148 seron bark, 3 bales to bacco, 13 tierces and 20 brls. coffee, and 125 pack ages of sundries. The steamer with the outward mails of the 17th ult. had not arrived out when the Shannon sailed. At Jamaica her Majesty's ships Imam, Gladia tor, and Racer—the latter ship had lately arrived from Havannah ; at Antigua the Atalanta; at Grey Town the Gorgon ; at Carthagena the Cos sack. On the 22d ult. the new British ship Peerless, on her first voyage from Quebec to Liverpool, with tim ber, put into St. Thomas water-logged. She was to discharge cargo for repairs. Captain Lionel Lambert, of her Majesty's steamer Vixen, was barbarously murdered on the 9th of February at Lima. The unfortunate gentleman left his hotel, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, to take a bath ; his friends were waiting for him to dine, but he never returned. His body was afterwards found, and a despatch addressed to Capt. Miller was still on his person, but his ring and watch were stolen. The back of his head was fractured, and his fore head fearfully cut. His wrists bore signs of a fear ful struggle with his murderers. 'The murder of foreigners has become so frequent at Lima that the Peruvian Government is certainly called upon for its immediate suppression. In Honduras great excitement prevailed at Ruatan, in consequence of the signing of a treaty for the unconditional surrender of the Bay Islands to the Republic of Honduras ; an outbreak was ex pd. bi l e :he ir s i u le ga A r fe c x ro ic p a s n in C tro o o r p o s sa h l apdrotmi taken n d to sa be nta Cruz, the stronghold of the revolutionary Indians in Yucatan, who had since mustered in Bacalar. News of an attack was daily expected, and appre hensions were entertained of the Indians crossing the British frontier at Corosal. The West India islands generally are complain ing for want of labour, and anxious for the impor tation of immigrants, which would be doubtless of essential service to the West Indian colonies. A good crop is expected at St. Kitts, and the yield of the canes on many estates is better than has been for many years. A large and valuable portion of the city of Bar badoes has been laid in ruins. A destructive fire passed over it on the morning of the 14th, sweeping away the principal business establishments, and in many instances entire districts. The cathedral was much injured from the explosions around. The fire was said to be the act of an incendiary. The loss of property is estimated at upwards of half a million sterling, and only £30,000 is said t o b e i nsure d. I n the market breadstuffs, provisions, &c., with some few exceptions, were ample for wants, notwith. standing the losses by fire, and arrivals gained no advance on previous rates.

DREADFUL MURDER AT EIIREN- .71REI2ST'E'IN. The small town of Ehrenbreitstein, which lies at the foot of the gigantic fortress of that name, has been just frightened out of its propriety by the com mission of a dreadful murder within its quiet pre cincts. At the Coblenz Carnival on Shrove Tuesday no character was more conspicuous than Herr Meder, a well-to-do proprietor of a tavern adjoining the post-office in Ehrenbreitstein. Disguised as a buxom matron, :supposed to be celebrating her silber-lsockzeit, or 28th anniversary of her wedding day, he sat in a huge van drawn by eight horses. Seated by the side of his consort, he dispensed nods and smiles to the admiring crowd. A band of musi cians, in grotesque dresses, occupied the front of the vehicle, while a humpbacked cook, in appro priate attire, waited on the wedding feast, and re plenished the spacious bowl of Rhine wine, from which both bride and bridegroom indulged in fre quent potations. In the evening, at the bal masque at the theatre, he was again the observed of all ob servers, his jovial countenance darkened by no shadow of the fate impending over him. On the Thursday night following he was brutally murdered while asleep is his bed, with his wife and child, the occupants of another bed in the same apartment. His head was literally smashed to pieces with the repeated blows of an axe found lying at the foot of the bed. About 3 o'clock, some hours after the commission of the deed, a servant, who slept in a room above, was attracted by the cries of his mistress, who was found tied hand and foot be hind the door of the room. She declared that about 11 o'clock two men suddenly entered the apartment, and at once proceeded to their bloody business, one striking her sleeping husband a suc cession of blows, the first of which must have been instantly fatal, his companion at the same time threatening her with a similar fate if she made the slightest noise or resistance. She was then gagged and bound. The men then proceeded to rob a secretaire in the adjoining apartment of nearly 200 thalers, and then decamped. It is im possible to describe the sensation occasioned by this shocking tragedy in Coblenz and Ehrenbreitstein. The funeral of the murdered man, who was highly esteemed, was attended by an immense multitude, and gossip was rife as to who had perpetrated the deed. At length, after the country had been unsuc cessfully scoured for many miles, suspicion fell upan those nearer home. At a respectable school in Coblenz was a teacher named Keller, a well-edu cated man, of prepossessing manners and person, but of loose morals. It was whispered he carried on a licentious intercourse with the wife of Meder, a young and attractive woman. On the . day pre ceding the murder, but after the terminat ion of the Carnival he hired a beard and a blouse. The former he returned on the following day, but the blouse has not been forthcoming, and the account he gives of it is highly unsatisfactory; but suspicion is not confined to him. His paramour, the wife of the murdered man, is deeply implicated. By entries in Keller's memorandum-book it appears he has lately received considerable sums of money from the woman ; but the darkest discovery is that of a bloody footmark near the secretaire containing the money of the unfortunate man, in the room adjoin ing to that in which ho slept, and which exactly corresponds with the foot of the woman ; but, as she was discovered bound hand and foot and inca pable of moving, it is presumed she herself assisted to rifle the secretaire, and then submitted to be bound. in order to give an appearance of her being rather a victim than an accomplice. Keller is in prison and the woman under stri c t surve il lance. At the July assizes at Neuwied, where the trial will take place, the facts, such as have been collected, will be fully disclosed, and the guilt or innocence of the suspected persons pronounced. In the meantime the occurrence excites the greatest interest in the neighbourhood, REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND WINE LICENSES BILL.—The bill brought into the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to regulate the licensing of refreshment houses and the granting of wine licences was issued yesterday with the Parliamentary papers. The bill contains 36 clauses. The following is a summary of the most important :—After the passing of the bill licenses will be granted at the following rates and duties :—For every licence to keep a refreshment-house—if the house and pre mises in respect of which such licence shall be granted shall be under the rent and value of £2O a-year, 10s. 6d. ; and if the same shall be of the rent or value of £2O a-year or up wards, £1 Is. And for every licence to be granted as here inafter mentioned to any licensed keeper of a refreshment house to sell therein by retail foreign wine to be consumed in such house, or on the premises belonging thereto —if such house a n d premises shall be under the rent and value of £5O a-year, £3 35.; and if the same shall be of the rent or value of £5O a-year or upwards, £5 ss. ; and for every licence to be taken out by any person for the selling by re tail in any shop of foreign wine not to be consumed in the house or shop or on the premises where sold, £3 32. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. TEE EASTERN COUN lIES RAILWAY ACCIDENT. The inquest was again resumed yesterday in the Lecture-hall, Tottenham, before Mr. Humphreys and the jury. Sergeant Ballantine appeared on behalf of the company ; Mr. Chambers, Common Sergeant, on behalf of Mrs. Beane; Mr. Mills, on behalf of the relatives of the late Mr. Stokes ; and Mr. Hum• phries, on behalf of the relatives of the late Mr. Satchell. Captain Tyler attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Board of Trade. Joseph Beattie, locomotive engineer on the Lon don and North-Western Railway, was the first witness called upon in continuation of the scientific evidence adduced on the part of the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company. He deposed to the acci dent having arisen from the defective weld, which he thought could not have been detected previous to the accident. The quality of the iron of the tire was good. Edward M'Connell, manager of the locomotive department of the London and North-Eastern Railway, corroborated the preceding witness as to the particular cause of the accident, the means of detecting the defect, and the quality of the iron. Mr. Webb, engineer, George-street, West minster, said he had examined the wheel, and found that there never had been any metallic union of the ends of iron in welding. There must have been very little traction upon the wheel at the time of the accident. One of the bolts must have pre viously been broken. The longitudinal flaw ought to have been detected in the heating of the tire beg fore it was put on the wheel. There were indica tions upon the broken %wheel to show it was unsafe. He found several fractures upon one of the driving wheels of the disabled engine, and found also that the wheels themselves were defective, and that the iron of the tires was of an indifferent kind. He thought that the engine-driver ought to have de tected the sectional flaw which caused the accident. He thought there was an appearance of it being an old fracture, and that it must have gaped previous to its breaking. The coroner, on the close of the examination, proceeded to read over to the jury the evidence that had been brought forward during the course of the inquest, and observed that he had no doubt that during the time that had intervened between the various stages of the inquiry they had fully weighed the facts and opinions which had been brought be fore them, in which case any remark from him would be superfluous. They would now have to decide whether the accident arose through any negligence on the part of the company or their ser vants, or from natural causes which could not have been foreseen or prevented. The jury retired, and after an absence of about two hours delivered through their foreman the fol lowing verdict :—" We find that the deceased in dividuals met with their deaths from the breaking of the tire of one of the leading wheels of an en gine in consequence of a defective weld, and we are of opinion that had proper precaution and vigilance been used the accident might have been avoided." It is alleged that the accident has resulted in another death at Bow, caused not so much through any material injury received as through the effects of the shock or fright attendant on the accident operating on a delicate nervous system. The list of deaths now amounts to seven. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 15. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Roakarts and Pauline Smastars, two foreigners, were charged with smuggling 64-Ib. of foreign manufactured tobacco. Henry Dyers, Inspector of Thames Poliee, said —Last night, about seven o'clock, as I was walk ing through the Minories, I saw the two prisoners crossing the road. Immediately they saw me the female prisoner spoke to the male prisoner, and dropped a bag containing about 51b. of tobacco and cigars. I then went up to the female prisoner and took this bag from her, containing a quantity of cigars. I told her that I was an officer of the Cus toms, and I asked them both if they had anything about them liable to duty. The female prisoner said, " My husband has not ; let him go, and take me." I then called a cab, and put both prisonersis it. On the way to the station, tho male prisoner appearing very restless, I put my hand into his coat pocket, and took out about 36 cigars. I know them both as desperate smugglers, for as soon as the boat arrives from Rotterdam they go to a low publichouse, where they meet the sailors belonging to the vessel, from whom they receive smuggled goods. I have been looking out for them for the last eight months. The female prisoner said (through an interpreter) that she was living with the prisoner as his wife. Sir W. Carden fined them £5 each,, or one month's imprisonment. BOW-STREET. A woman of poverty-stricken appearance, whose name did not transpire, waited upon the sitting magistrate, Mr. Hall, and submitted to him the following singular statement : She said that she was a married woman, and was confined about five weeks ago. The child only lived three weeks, and on its death she applied to the parish officers to bury it. They declined to do so unless on condition that her husband would go into the workhouse, and go to work in the stone yard. This he refused to do, preferring to retain his liberty and look out for employment. The re sult was that the corps* had remained a fortnight unburied. She had placed it in a box, which was closed up, but decomposition had set in, and it was becoming offensive. The parish authorities ad hered to their decision not to bury the child unless on the condition stated, which her husband as re ' solutely resisted. The magistrate inquired where she lived. The applicant replied that she lived at North end, Fulham. She had been to Hammersmith Police-court, where she was referred to the Com missioners of Police, and on calling at the Commis sioners' office, in Scotland-yard, she was desired to make her complaint at Bow-street. Mr. Hall said that if the applicant's statement was correct the parish authorities had acted im properly, and were liable to indictment ; but this was not the court at which the complaint ought to be made. However, he would send a request to the Commissioners of Police to institute an inquiry . through the superintendent of police for the divi sion in which the applicant lived. The superin tendent could report tho result to the magistrate at the Hammersmith Police-court, who would, no doubt, take care that proper attention should be paid to the matter. A constsble was accordingly despatched, in com pany with the applicant, to Scotland-yard, bearing a wiessage to the above effect. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —John Compton, a man -servant in the service of Dr. Tyler Smith, 7, Upper Grosvenor-street, was charged with stealing ei g ht d ozen wine bottles and two cricket bats, and on suspicion of stealing a diamond bracelet, value ,E 1,50, and other jewels, the property of his master. Dr. Smith said his son lately came home from Eton, and bro ug h t w i th him, among other things, two cricket bats, of the value of 303. On one of these being m i sse d the prisoner was questioned, but denied all knowledge of them. From circumstances which subsequently transpired in relation to these bats, a n d a quantity of bottles removed from his premises, the p r i soner was appre h en d e d. A diamond bracelet and other articles of jowellery had been also missed, and suspicion now fell upon the prisoner of stealing them. The prisoner's wife had formerly been housekeeper at his house in Grosvenor-street. Mr. James Willi ams , landlord of the `White Bear public-house, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, prov e d the prisoner's bringing ono of the bats in question to him to take care of, and that he received it, also purchasing of the prisoner eight dozen 'wine bottles. The prisoner was remanded. MARYLEBONE.—Mr. Ilammill handed to our reporter a letter addressed to " The Sitting Magis trate," and of which the following is a copy : " March 14. "Sir,—The enclosed copy of an a d ver tisementi w hich ap peared in the Ti»:es of this day discloses another ingenious mode of robbing those who can ill afford to be made the victims of swindlers—clerks out of employ.
