THE NAVY. Tile paddlewheel steamer Adder, Mr. J. Minehin, second master, in charge, came alongside the dock and at Chatham yesterday afternoon, and em barked 140 convicts from the convict establishment at St. Mary's, for conveyance to the True Briton, chartered convict ship,at anchor at the Nore. On em barking at the dockyard tlie convicts set up a loud cheer, which they repeated at intervals as the Adder steamed away with them. They will pro ceed in the True Briton, with a number of other convicts from Milbank, to Bermuda, where they are to be employed on the public works in progress at that island. •The Prussian squadron, under the command of Admiralhis Royal Highness Prince Adelbert, whose flag is on board the Thetis, put into_ Falmouth on Wednesday, on their way to Brest, and for the yacht to replenish her fuel , f or which purpose she entered the inner harbour. The usual salutes were ex changed between the ships, the garrison of Pen dennis, and her 'Majesty's ship Russell. The Calcutta and Lady Jocelyn, screw steamers, arrived at Spithead at 11.30 a.m. from the Thames, to embark troops for Calcutta. The Calcutta em barks 790 rank and file of the 67th ; the Lady Joce lyn 740 of the 99th, exclusive of officers. The Russian screw steam line-of-battle ship Ret vizan, 84, from Cronstadt for Brest, passed the Isle of Wight early yesterday morning. A court-martial was held on board the Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, yesterday morning, to try Richard Snape, a private Royal Marine on board. her Majesty's ship Hogue, for mutinous conduct in that ship at Greenock, Scotland. The Court found the charge proved against the prisoner, and sen tenced him to receive 50 lashes on board his own ship, and to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in Winchester gaol for 18 calendar months from the passing of the sentence. The screw steam gun-vessel Lapwing, 4, Com mander Montagu F. O'Reilly, which arrived at Ply mouth on Tuesday from Jamaica, brought 30 inva lids and some supernumeraries. She left the paddle wheel steam-frigate Leopard, 18, Capt. James F. B. Wainwright, at Greytown. Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Challenger, 21, steamed down the river from Woolwich yester day, to try her machinery of 600 horse-power, fitted by Messrs. Penn and Co., and subsequently proceeded to Sheerness to be placed in the second class steam reserve of that yard. She is fitted with one of Messrs. Delpech and Co.'s pumps, which is capable of discharging 600 gallons of water in ;52 seconds, as verified by experiments in Wool wich dockyard, extending over a series of trials during the last four months. It has a gun-metal working barrel of 11 &ths of an inch internal diame ter, and was purchased, it is understood, for the sum of £l2O. Two smaller pumps of the same de scription were also tested in the dockyard from the same manufactory, one of which (a double-barrel pump, each barrel double acting, giving the result of four barrels combined) attracted considerable notice, and threw a very large quantity of water to a great height. The second battalion of the 18th Royal Irish, stationed in Londonderry, were inspected on Mon day last, at the barracks, by Major-General Gough, C. 8., who, it appears, had been sent down by Lord Seaton to examine into disturbances created by some ill-conducted men in the regiment. At the close of the inspection the General briefly addressed the men, alluding to the recent disturbances, and exhorting them for the future to take pride in maintaining the high character of the regiment. THE ARMY. Yesterday morning a party of non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Sappers and Miners, who have been selected to proceed to British Colom bia, left head-quarters, Brompton Barracks, Chat ham, and proceeded. to Southampton, at which port the expedition is to embark, for the purpose of taking charge of the stores for the Royal Engineers which have been accumulated there to be despatched with the expedition. The stores which have been selected for the use of the Royal Sappers and Miners in British Columbia comprise every requisite for carrying on the works in which they will be en ' gaged. They include an electric telegraph appa ratus and wires, printing-press, photograph appa ratus, portable boats for crossing streams and rivers, waterproof tents, an immense assortment of mining tools, and also tools for carpenters, smiths, bricklayers, &c. The day originally fixed for the embarkation of the expedition was Wednesday last, but, owing to some unforeseen delay, they are not expected to leave Chatham until Monday or Tues day next. In a former notice in The Sun it was inadvertently stated that the expedition would be armed with the Enfield rifle ; this was an error, as the rifle they will take with them is the Lancaster rifled musket, in the use of which the Royal Engi neers have attained such a remarkable degree of skill. • Agreeably to an order received at St. Mary's in valid depot, Chatham, from the War•office, a large party of wounded and disabled soldiers left that establishment yesterday morning, having received their discharge from -the service. With but few exceptions those discharged received their wounds or injuries in India, from which they have just arrived. Several men have lost either a leg or an arm, and many are suffering from musket or sabre wounds. The pensions granted them are on a liberal scale, according to the nature of theirwounds and their length of service. THE QUARANTINE IN THE EAST. ALEXANDRIX; Sept. 6.—The removal of the qua rantine restrictions lately laid upon vessels arriving from Malta and Gibraltar has been none the less welcome to all parties here since conviction has been forced upon even the most obdurate that the measure was adopted without the slightest neces sity, and that the, pretended case of plague on board the Pactolus was purely and simply imagi nary. A medical commission, it is true, after due examination of the body, deliberately and un rem-redly pronounced their verdict to the contrary, hut even the warmest advocates of quarantine now find themselves compelled to abstain from their triumphant appeals to that decision ; for if it be maintained that the doctors were right, then it must be admitted that, to whatever purpose lazarettoes may henceforth be turned, it must of necessity be a more profitable one than that for which they were originally intended. The passengers by the Pacto lus, some 250 in number, were crowded together within the walls of the establishment of that name - which we possess at Alexandria. The great majority being in almost indigent circumstances they could do little or nothing to remedy the utter discomfort of their temporary prison and close confinement in an out-of-the-way place, naturally aggravated by the difficulty of procuring wholesome food, which their poverty of itself already entailed upon them. In their capacity of pilgrims we may concede their claim to godliness, but its kindred virtue they cer tainly did not possess. It is needless to add that space and supplies of fresh air in the cells assigned as dormitories were equally deficient. In short, all the more favourable circumstances were here sedulously brought together for developing the germs of any dis ease they might have lain 'dormant among them; and yet, strange to say, they resumed their voyage and were landed at Beyrout in perfect good health. The fact that we have failed to engender pestilence or sickness in our immediate neighbourhood can only be attributed to a piece of - inexplicable good fortune; but, whether the case on board the Pac tolus were one of plague or not, surely the risk we have run would have been greatly lessened had the so-called measure of protection to public health been altogether abstained from. The Board of Health did not, however, take this view of the question, and quarantine continued to be imposed upon all vessels from Malta, until it suddenly came to an end on the 28th ult. On that day a steamer arrived from Constantinople with an attache of the British embassy. It soon transpired that among other despatches he had brought one from the Porte to Said Pasha, recommending the latter to put an end to the obnoxious and unneces sary- measure. The Viceroy was doubtless only too glad of the opportunity t o get rid of a troublesome question in a manner perfectly consonant with his own private views, and he forthwith give orders to his Minister for Foreign Affairs, and to the Direc tor of the Transit Department, to have all restric tions at once done away with. The Board of Health, almost entirely composed of delegates from the several European Consulates, did not, however, think proper to give in its ad herence to this arrangement, and they would pro bably have succeeded in creating difficulties ; but while they were debating the question, our Consul, Mr. Green, after having waited till late in the afternoon, sent a communication to Capt. Campbell, of her Majesty's steamer Vulture, then lying in quarantine, informing him of the order issued by the Viceroy, and Capt. Campbell cut the matter short by hauling down the yellow flag, and .esta blishing free communication between his vessel and the shore. Our Consul, who throughout the whole of these questions had found himself opposed by all his colleagues, at once sent notice of what had oc curred to the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where, of course, not a word of objection was raised. Not so, however, with the Board of Health, who indeed to this day are still discussing the question whether Said Pasha was justified in allowing the passengers by the Colombo to proceed on their journey through the country in an insu lated railway tram. It now remfunt' • to be seen whether, at Malta and in other ports of the Mediterranean, the perfect state of health in Egypt, will be looked upon as sufficient reason for admitting vessels from Alex andria to free pratique. This, it is to be feared, can hardly be hoped for. Even in England it would appear that our Government thinks it necessary to cast a look of suspicion upon passengers arriving from Alexandria, although the taint supposed to exist here must, it is agreed, have reached us from Malta, which latter is asserted to be healthy. May it not truly be admitted, that quarantine law, as at present established, is a perfect type and embodi ment of one huge circumlocution-office, ramified throughout every civilised state in the world. A great deal is said and written of Turkish abuses, out here we have the source of a host of abuses, a thing moreover which Europe deliberately and peremptorily forces upon the Turks. By way of exemplification, though at the risk of wearying yaur readers with the subject, I will briefly add another incident of the voyage of the Pactolus. She left Alexandria for Syria on the 21st ult., and, as already mentioned, landed h'r passengers at Bey rout in perfect good health. A fresh difficulty, however, now arose. Part of her cargo was for Alexandretta ; but the latter is not a lazaretto port, and the captain was consequently informed that everything must be landed at Beyrout, to remain there until the expiration of the quarantine laid upon him at Alexandria, when he would be at liberty to convey the goods to their destination. The cap tain, whose temper was doubtless not improved by his late experience, stormed and protested until he was finally told that he should be released from fur ther delay provided he did not refuse, to pay quaran tine dues on the whole of the cargo. At Alexandria we had had a somewhat analogous case. A vessel arrived with a quantity of iron castings, quarantine dues upon which at the rate of about 4s. each were claimed to the amount of £340. The consignee of the cargo resisted the demand, alleging that he looked upon it as almost equivalent to confiscation, and he seemed so determined to make a noise about the matter that the quarantine authorities ended by foregoing the claim altogether. The effects of the declaration of quarantine upon the trade of the country have already been most in jurious. At the present moment, with stocks of grain and pulse for export sufficient at the most moderate computation to afford cargoes to some 60 vessels, only three ships are available for carrying it hence ; and, as a natural consequence, goods which in the consuming markets have advanced in value have here undergone an unnatural deprecia tion. Were Europe suffering from a deficiency of food, this state of things, for which after all she is chiefly to blame, might constitute no small addi tion to her embarrassments. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,. FORTH AND CLYDE JUNCTION, The report of the, directors of this company states that the receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of July amounted to £8,050, and the expenditure to £5,006, leaving a balance of £3,004. To this was added £1,187 from the preceding half-year, making £4,231, out of which £1,787 was deducted for inte rest on debentures and loans, and £670 for divi dend on preference shares, leaving £1,774. The directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on the ordinary share capital of the company, leaving. a balance of £lB6. The traffic for.the half-year, ending the 31st of January, 1857, amounted to £6,571, ending the 31st of July, 1857, to £7,090, ending 31st January, 1858, to £7,642, and ending the 31st of July last to £8,050, the latter showing an increase of £960 over the corresponding half of 1857. The directors consider this increase satisfactory under the circumstances of a general depression in trade, which has affected nearly every railway. The directors trust that the increase in the receipts will continue, so that a fair return may be obtained for the money expended on the undertaking, which has proved so great an ad vantage to the district through which it passes. Since the last report was issued the directors have been successful in disposing of as many of the pre ference shares as in the meantime they considered necessary, and thereby obtained funds to clear off the obligations of the company to bankers and others, and place the company in a very different position from that in which it previously steod, so far as money matters are concerned. The expenditure under capital includes a sum of £2,359 in set tlement of land claims, and with the exception of one or two more cases, involving a small amount, that account will very shortly be closed ; £3,109 for -works and stations is made up of £94 for extra sidings, and the remainder for furnish ings supplied when the works were taken posses sion of by the company after the contractors bank ruptcy, and for which bills were granted. The sum of £3,536 is the balance due for plant, and £l,BOO for engineering, which closes both these accounts. £3Ol is connected with -the obtaining of the new act and the issue of preference stock. £216 is for law charges, for which there will be a further sum to pay, and which the directors would have wished to include. The directors state that these sums in clude every charge which could possibly be brought forward at this time, and they trust to be able to state at the next meeting that all obligations of the company have been met. OUDE. The half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Moorgatc-street--Sir Mac donald Stephenson in the chair. Mr. C. TWIGG, the secretary, read the report. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it appeared from returns of the traffic of the country made in 1856 by Mr. Reece, of Calcutta, that the trade of the district in Oude through which they intended to pass was considerable, and would be greatly increased if railway facilities were afforded for bringing the produce to market. The cost of railways in England had been very heavy, but in India the cost had been very moderate. The Madras company had executed their works for a smaller sum per mile than any other company. The Oude Railway as proposed would be executed for less than £3,000 per mile, and, includino• rolling stock, it would not exceed £B,OOO per mile, which was a very moderate cost for so important a line. The first section of the line would extend from Cawnporc to Lucknow. Negotiations had been going on for a considerable time as to a guarantee, but were not vet brought to a termination. It was considered necessary to wait till the country was more settled. Matters were becoming more tran quil in Oude, and it was now expected that all re sistance would soon be overcome. The Act of Par liament incorporating the company had been ob tained, and provision was made for the amalgama tion of that company with the Central Oude Railway Company. The details had not been arranged, but there was every disposition on the part of the gentlemen representing the Central Company to meet them fairly, and he felt sure that satisfactory terms would be made when the gua rantee was granted. The matter respecting the union of the two companies would be submitted at the proper time to general meetings of shareholders in both companies, specially called for the purpose. The financial statement showed that they had re ceived £ll,lOO, and after paying for surveys, Par liamentary and preliminary expenses, there re mained a balance of £7,200 to the credit of the coMpany. The directors regretted the loss of Mr. Garrett, who they considered was one of the ablest engineers that had ever left this country. He trusted the Council of India would soon order the making of the railway, and that the natives would be speedily induced to adopt the shovel, the barrow and the pickaxe in lieu of military weapons, and by .the construction of the necessary railways de velope the great resources of the country. Mr. J. C. MARSIIMAN, deputy chairman, seconded . the motion for the adoption of the report. He ad verted to the obstacles they 'tad encountered from the disaffection in Oude. They had placed them selves in communication with the President of the Board of Control respecting their undertaking, and it was deemed necessary by the authorities in India to suspend operations until matters were sufficiently settled in Oude to justify them in proceeding with the railway. The mutiny had been quelled, and Completelyto completely t e h rus at h in th th e e disaffection beginng in Oude. It was wo,aof November the whole of the military force would be brought . to bear on Oud e , an d it was believed that m the course of two or three months the i authorty of the Government there wo u ld b e Completely established. By the beginning of February next they might be called upon to commence operations on the first section between Cawnpore and mow. Lucl At the time they projected the line it was merely for com mercial purposes, but circumstances had since oc curred which made the railway also desirable for political and military purposes. He had no doubt it was one of the lines of railway - which the authorities would be most anxious to see established in that part of India. Mr. WYLDE thought the expenses of the company had been verg m o d era t e . He suggested that - the: line shoald be made by the company's staff instead of by contract, as he believed it was a much cheaper system, and' had been carried out successfully by other railway companies in India. The CHAIRMAN said he was glad the proprietors considered their expenses moderate, which they un doubtedly were. With regard to the construction of the line he was not certain which mode was the best. A great extent of the lines in India was being executed by . contractors ; the matter, however, would be fully considered by . the board. The report was then unanimously adopted, the were retiring directors and auditors re-elected, and_ a vote of thanks to the. chairman and directors for their attention to the interests of the company con cluded the proceedings. 114 E SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1858 ACCIDENT ON THE _RAILWAY NEAR DUDLEY. Yesterday the inquest in this case was resumed at 11 o'cloc i k. At the commencement of the proceedings a charge was made by one of the solicitors who appeared for the injured persons against the fore man of the jury, to the effect that beforethe inquiry he had been engaged in the interests of the com pany in inducing several of the sufferers to accept compensation. The foreman (who is a Baptist minister) gave a long explanation of his conduct, from which it appeared that he had been present on two occasions at interviews between two of the sufferers and the agent of the company, when the question of compensation was being discussed, and that he had taken some share in them. Ulti mately, in deference to an expression of opinion from the jury, the foreman withdrew, and the inquiry was continued without him. Mr. B. Wilson, engineer of the Oxford, Worces ter, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, gave evidence similar to that of Capt. Tyler and Mr. Craig with regard to the experiments made subse quent to the accident. The side chains and coup lings were made of the best iron. His opinion as to the accident was that it was caused by the break not being put on until the train had got a consider able way back, and until it had attained a great speed. Mr. A. C. Sheriff, the general manager of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway—. I was at the station at Worcester when the train arrived in the morning, but not on the platform. The train arrived about half-past 12. An hour or two afterwards I received information from Mr. Adcock, who said that in coming up the train had got to too great a size, that one or more of the chains had broken, and that he was going to remedy it in going back by dividing the train into two parts. I did not see the trains depart in the even ing, nor was my . attention directed to the chains that had broken in the morning. Mr. Adcock came to me with a telegraphic message about the acci dent, and we sent for some surgeons out of the town, and had a train got ready. I was so prostrate or overcome by the intelligence that I don't remem ber the exact time that I received the message, but it was about half-past 8. By the time I got there the dead had been removed, and there were 300 or 400 people there. My attention was immedi ately directed to clearing the line. I have heard most of the evidence, and as to the cause of the ac cident, lam pretty much of the opinion of Mr. M'Connell, who attributes the separation to the breaking of the bow of the shackle, and the subse quent late application of the break. I don't blame the guard for not applying the break earlier, be cause I believe he lost his presence of mind. I firmly believe that if the break had been applied in time the accident would not have occurred. A Juror—Who is responsible for the accident ? Witness—That will be for the jury to decide from the evidence before them. My duties are various, but generally to manage the business under the directors and generally also to increase the tra ffic on the line. All the bills about excursion trains that have been issued for some time past have been issued by my direction. In consequence of those excursion trains there has not been any diminution in the ordinary passenger traffic of the line. We don't employ any extra servants in consequence of the excursion trains. We keep an ample staff of men, We keep a larger number of men in the sum mer than in the winter, but do not make the differ ence on account of the excursion trains. I cannot tell the number of passengnrs in this train who were not Sunday-school children. The station masters who issued tickets to those who were not of the class named, I think, exceeded their duty. At the same time, when the bills were sent out it was expected that no persons who were not of the class referred to would avail themselves of the offer. If I err in this respect it is in taking too favourable a view of human nature in this locality. I think that the station-masters who issued those tickets were censurable, and probably will be censured, and would probably have been so if this accident had not happened. I am paid a fixed salary, and I have a percentage upon the net receipts of the line. I will back this company against any other in the kingdom both for the efficiency of the servants and for the amount of their salaries. Since I have been with the company , the salaries of the servants have been increased. I shall lose £2OO by this melan choly accident. Por two days after the accident I was confined to my room, from the shock which I sustained by the calamity. Charles Harris, assistant superintendent at the Worcester station, said he had accompanied the train from Dudley to Worcester. A coupling broke at Brettel-lane, and another at Hagley, just as they were starting from the station. There were no other breakages on the road to his knowledge. At Bret tel-lane four chain links of a cable were put on. The coupling were all properly fastened at night, when the train was divided, and the engineman and stoker were sober. Cook and Cording were the guards. Did not telegraph to any of the station masters that a second train was following. Did not tell the engine-driver of the first part of the train that another would follow. Informed the guards, but did not say how soon. James Healey deposed—l am foreman platelayer on that part of the line where the accident took place. When the train came up I was standing at the up-platform at the Round Oak station. After the train had come to a stand I heard a rebound, and then a snap as though something had broken at about two carriages from where I was standing. I looked to the place and saw a number of carriages begin to recede. At the close of this witness's evidence the inquest was adjourned for a fortnight. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST STAF FORDSHIRE COLLIERS. The strike of the colliers in the Oldbury district, which has existed for such an unusual period of time without providing occupation for the police courts in the locality, has at length resulted in the committal of two men and a boy for trial at the next assizes for the county of Stafford on the very serious charge of maliciously wounding one of the men who worked last week in opposition to the wishes of those on strike ; and several others for neglect of work. On Wednesday, at the police court, at Dudley, before C. Cartwright and J. E. Swindell, Esqs., John Westwood, Edward Coley, and. Benjamin Coley, the latter a youth of 15 or 16, were charged with maliciously wounding Samuel Bennitt. The prosecutor deposed-1 am a miner, and live in New Bond-street, Dudley. I know the priso ners. I work for Mr. Tiviciale. They also work for the same master, but not in the same pit in which I work. Shortly before six o'clock on Monday morning I went to the pit for the purpose of going to work. I saw one of the men coming out of the stable with some sharp picks, and he told me I had better fetch some before they were all gone. I then went into the stable and picked up two, and as I was coming out again Edward Coley, who was in the stable, said to me, " You blackleg, you want one of those stuck through your heart." I asked him what for. He replied, " For going to work last Saturday morning." He then picked up a sharp pike and struck at me. It caught the bottom of my trousers and passed through my boot, but missed my foot. It stuck fast in my boot, and while I was pulling it out he picked up ano ther pike. He was about to strike me, again; but before he could do so I put my arm round his neck and held him tight. He then " jobbed" the pike into my thigh, and swore that he would run it through me. He then called to his brother Benja min, who picked up a hay-fork and struck it through my clothes in two places, but it did not touch my flesh. He was pushing it at me a third time, when I caught hold of it with one hand, still holding Edward Coley - with . the other, and called " Murder," two or three times. Edward Coley then told his brother Benjamin to fetch some of the other men, adding, " We kill the now we've got him here." Benjamin then went out of the stable, and immediately afterwards the prisoner John Westwood came in, and said to me, "You blackleg —, loose him, or I will make your brains spottle against the wall like a drop of water." He then said to Coley, who was jobbing me with the pike, " Don't stick another pike into the —, I'll ec struck ten m h e i m o . n " t l h t e h e n head lo os d with C a o l, and piecee of Westwood wood,and made me bleed. I then went to show my master and the other men how I had been served, and they advised me to go and get my wounds dressed. As I was leaving the bank I saw the 'prisoner Edward Coley coming after me with a large stone in his hand. I laid hold of him to prevent him from throwing the stone at me. Some of the men who were standing near said, " Let him go ; he's had enough ;" I then went to Mr. Johnson's surgery, and had my wounds dressed. I worked on S a t ur d a y, in opposition to the wishes of the men on strike. I have been threatened that if I continued to work I should be beaten. The prisoners John Webster and Ed ward Coley did not work last week, and they both .threatened me because I did. Mr. W. Eagles Johnson stated that the prosecu tor came to his surgery on Monday morning. He was sufferin g from a severe contused wound in the left thi g h. le appeared to have lost a good deal of blood, and his clothes were cut in a great num ber of places. Webster_ called as a witness o n hi s b e half Zacha riah Dainty, who deposed that he heard the boy Benjamin Coley calling. Webster immediately ran towards the stable, and he followed him. All that he saw Webster do was to pull the prosecutor off Edward Coley, whom he was trying to stifle. The prosecutor and Coley were rolling about on the floor, and he accounted for the cuts on the prosecu tor's clothes by the circumstance of there being a number of sharp picks lying about, Coley's clothes were not cut. Mr. Swindell—Were you at work last week ? No, sir, I was at play. On strike ?—Yes, sir. Mr. Prince—How long have you been on strike? —Well, I was at work the week before last, but I played last week. Are you on strike now P—No, sir. Did Bennitt play last week P—He did some of the time. Did he work some of the time P—l believe he did. Was it contrary to the wish of the colliers that he should work at all ?—lt was, sir. Did they about it ?—I complained my self, and so did several others. Have you ever heard any one threaten him ? No, sir. The prisoners were fully committed for trial at the next assizes at Strafford.—.Birmingham Daily Pad. with stabbing Henry Pugh, a prix ate in the Grenadier Guards, in the neck. The prosecutor, who exhibited a ci it just under the left ear, said that on Wednesday, the Bth inst., he was passing along Newington-car.seway with a comrade, when the prisoner came up to him and made use of a beastly expression, at tln- same time pushing him rather roughly. :He told her to go away, and as he was about to tarn she suddenly rushed at him and stabbed him o n the neck with some sharp instrument she had in her hand. She was about to repeat it when his comrade seized hold of her and prevented her, an.d at the same time she threw away the instrument. She was detained until a constable came up, when he gave her into custody, and immediately afterwards he proceeded to a surgeon, who dresssed the wound. The prosecutor's comrade said that he saw the prisoner rush upon him, and afterwards he per ceived that she had stabbed him in the neck. As she was about to repeat it he seized hold of her, when she threw away what appeared to him a white-handled penknife ; and as he was struggling with her another female who was with the prisoner picked it up and ran off with it. The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, denied having had a knife in her hand at all. It was all false about picking one up. Sergeant Gardiner informed his worship that the surgeon who dressed the wound told . him it was inflicted with something like the blade of a pen knife. Had it been a little lower down th,"jugular vein would have been cut, and most likely 11.' 1- would have proved fatal. The prisoner was committed for trial. WANDSWORTH.—AIfred Patey, a tall power ful-looking " navvie," employed in Battersea New Park, was charged with committing the following assault upon William Wilcock, a labourer, living in Battersea. The complainant was very lame in consequence of the severe injuries he had received, and was unable to walk without the assistance of a stick. On Sunday evening last the complainant was sit ting outside his house with others looking at the comet, when the prisoner came up and invited him to have something to drink. He accordingly went into the Swan public-house, when the prisoner behaved in a very strange manner, and with an oath said, " Why should he treat him." The com plainant, who had never had any previous quarrel with him, told him that he had not come there to be insulted. The prisoner then made use of the most disgusting language, and said he had, and immediately struck him a violent blow in the face with his fist. The prisoner also said he had done for two or three others, and that he would do for him. He further said he would show him " Lan cashire,' and then commenced kicking him severely upon the legs. The complainant got away from him, and while he was standing outside, the prisoner, without saying a word savagely kicked him with his heavy boot. The prisoner threatened to kick him again, and was about to do so when the complainant's brother interfered, and knocked him down. The complainant was severely injured by the kick, and had to be carried home, and had since been under the doctor's hands. The parts were very much bruised, and he was still sufferinc , great pain. The complainant was proved to be sober, but not so the prisoner, who appeared to have been drinking. The prisoner set up a defence that he was struck in the public-house, but that was positively denied. Mr. Dayman said he had not heard a more ruffi anly and cowardly assault than the one committed by the prisoner. 'He happened to know what was meant by the term" Lancashire," and he was sorry to say that it was the practice to get a man down, and stamp - upon him with their heavy nailed boots. He should mark his sense of that ruffianly practice by fining him 50s. for the assault, and 50s. costs, or to be imprisoned for two months. He should also require him to find bail for his good behaviour for the next-six months. The prisoner was then locked up. FORGERY BY A POLICEMA.V. On Thursday, John Dustow was charged before the Devonport magistrates by Mr. Robert Hitch man, superintendent of pollee, with forgery. The prisoner was lately a constable at the Keyham Yard, then a supernumerary in the Plymouth force, next a policeman in the Devonport force, and at the time of hs apprehension he was in the Cornwall County Constabulary. On the 26th of August the prisoner was appointed a police con stable in the Devonport police force on the faith of four certificates which he produced, and without which he would not have been selected. On the following day he was medically examined and reported fit for duty. He was then supplied with uniform, and ordered to attend for duty at half past nine in the evening. He did not come at the appointed hour, and not until some time a ft erwards, when he came drunk, and in an unfit state for duty, On the following morning Mr. Hitchman saw the prisoner, and told him that it was his intention to report him to the Watch Committee, therefore he was to attend on the following Thursday. He did not do so, and was dismissed born the force. Mr. Hitchman subsequently received information that the prisoner had been previously in the Key barn Dockyard, although when asked, when being sworn in, if he had ever belonged to a police force, he replied in the negative. In consequence of this, Mr. Hitchman applied to Sergeant Smithson, of the Royal Marines, when it was discovered that although the prisoner had. purchased his discharge from that corps, it was with an " indifferent cha racter" on his certificate, and the word indifferent had been altered into " very good." Another cer tificate purporting to be signed by Messrs. North cote and Son, wheelwrights, Stoke, with whom the prisoner had worked, was also found to be forged, and a third certificate of good character, purporting to be signed by J. Yale, foreman of boiler-makers in the Keyham Yard, which was given eighteen months since, had been altered, and on the face of it it appeared that it was granted on the 18th of July, during the present year. To the police qua lification certificate the name of Mr. Northcote had been foro.ed by the prisoner, and it was also signed. by Mr. fliffley, chemist, Devonport, and Mr: Hen mngs, painter, Morice Town. In consequence of this the prisoner was apprehended, and on the above facts being deposed to he was committed for trial at the assizes. STABBING A? LISKBARD.-COMMIT TAL FOR MURDER. On Thursday the magistrates at Liskeard con cluded a long investigation into a fatal case of stabbing which has occurred in that neighbour hood. The deceased, Daniel Donnoway, was a young Irishman of about 20 years of age, and, with a brother, resided with and supported a widowed mother at Trehane Mine, in Menheniot. The prisoner, William Ball, is from St. Cleer, and is a few years older than Donnoway. Both were miners. The facts are shortly as follows : There was a party of miners drinking at Little ton's Bell Inn Tap on Saturday night. They ap pear to have gone in there about six o'clock, and remained there until 12 at night. Shortly before 12 a row began about Donnoway's cap, which he supposed Ball had. Donnoway seized Ball, and they had a scuffle. The cap was produced by another young man, and after having some more drink they allieft together and proceeded up Church-street. Just after passing Hancock's public-house, Donno way and Ball had some angry words, and the for mer struck Ball. Ball then asked Donnoway if he would fight, to which he consented. Ball then went back about ten or, a dozen feet and made an under blow at Donnoway, in the bowels. Donno way struck Ball and kicked him, upon which Ball said, "If you don't stop you r ki c ki ng I'll r i p your guts out ; ' by this time Donnoway was by the side of his brother, a young lad of 18, stooping down and holding his stomach, groaning and complaining that,his wind was knocked out. He got sick and wished to sit down to recover. He, however, went on, leaning on two men all the way, and begging them to let him lie down. When they came to Stoneybridge-hill, half-a-mile out of town, he dis covered blood on his shirt, and found that he was wounded in the abdomen. He was taken on to Pengover and put in a house, whilst a doctor was sent for. Mr. Donovin, of Liskeard, attended and sewed up the wound, which had penetrated the omentum and which was about three-quarters of an inch long ; a stab was also found on the left shoulder. Donnoway lingered on until Monday, when he died of hemorrhage. Bell was taken into custody at the Bell Tap. An inquest was held on the body, on Wednesday, after a pod mortem examination, and a verdict returned against Ball of manslaughter. A full bench of magis trates, after a patient hearing of witnesses, com mitted Ball to take his trial for wilful murder at the next assizes for the county. A SAILOR KILLED.—Thomas Dodd, a seaman on board tho ship May Queen, lying in the Salthouse pock, Liverpool, was kill e d yes t er d a y (Thursday) by a piece of wood falling upon him. A FEARFUL LEAP.—On Sunday week, as Mr. Gumming, an upholsterer, of the Commercial-road East, was travelling by the ordinary train from Stratford to Laughton, while passing the Leyton. station (it not stopping there) in full speed, wishing to alight, he sprang from the carriage, and came with tremendous force against the but tress of the bridge, fracturing his skull and both bones of the left arm, receiving also other extensive injuries. Dr. Bankes, the co m p an y' s district surgeon, was called in, and pronounced .his case hopeless. .The unfortunate man, it afterwards appeared, had once before performed a similar leap with safety. He continued at Leyton until Thursday afternoon, when death terminated his sufferings, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. B OW-STREET. —Henry Chenu was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with stealing about sixty yards of cloth, the p ro p er ty o f M r . Dunn, one of the most use f u l officers of the Walterta F l u or &c., of 11, BBloomsbury-street.o,lmes, division of police, said—l was on i duty in Short's - gardens about eight o'clock on Tuesday night, when I saw the prisoner going along with a sack full of something on his back. Two other men were in his company, and they all went into the house No, 13. I followed them up to a landing at the top of the house, where the sack was deposited. I secured the sack and the prisoner, but the two men who were with him managed to escape through a hole in the roof of the house. The prisoner resisted with great vio lence, but I managed to get him to the station house in Bow-street. On opening the sack, I found 13 pieces of cloth, which have been since identified by the prosecutor. The prisoner said he did not steal the cloth himself ; he had been asked to accom pany the two other men, who had the sack in their possession, and that was all he knew about it. Mr. Wm. Dunn, the prosecutor, deposed that on the evening in question he showed the various pieces of cloth now produced to a customer of his in the shop, after which he wrapped them up and placed them in a back room, the door of which he closed. He then went downstairs into the kitchen of his house, and while there heard the front door open, and some one walking over his head; but he took no notice of the circumstance, supposing that it was his wife who had stepped out and was ex pected to return every minute. Presently, however, he heard footsteps entering the house again, and hiS wife, who had entered for the first time, called him up, and informed him that she had found the front door open. He soon found that the house had been entered by a thief, and the whole of the cloth, which he valued at upwards of £2O, taken away. The cloth now produced was the same. The prisoner, who had been once before convicted as an accomplice at a robbery at a jeweller's in Henrietta-street, was committed for trial. CLERKENWELL.—A well-dressed min, who gave the name of Charles Gillham, described as having no home or occupation, was charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr. Edward Smith, at Cross-street, St. Andrew's. Early in the month of June last the prisoner went to the prosecutor's clerk and told him that he was instructed to purchase a good gold watch for a gen tleman, at the same time stating that he should require to take it away for the gentleman's inspec tion. The clerk, who had been acquainted with the prisoner some time, and knew his friends to be re spectable, let the prisoner have the watch upon the condition that it was paid for or returned in an hour. The prisoner not returning, inquiries were made, and it was then found that he had left his lodgings, but no trace could be discOvered 2f him until yesterday, when he was apprehended at Kensal-green by Police-constable Taylor, 226 G. The prisoner at once handed to the constable the ticket of the watch, and upon his being searched the constable found upon him the following paper :—" If any one dis covers my body go to 51r. Gillham's, 18, Maryle bone-street, Golden-square." There was also a letter in his possession, of which the following is an extract :—" London, Sept. 18, 1858. My dear Sister,—When you receive this I shall have left this world - of troubles, I hope for a better.—C. Gillham." The watch, for which the prisoner was to have paid £lO, was pawned within 24 hours after he obtained it for X 7. The prisoner said he had pawned the watch, but he would not have done so had he not been greatly distressed at the time. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a short time for the attendance of the pawnbroker, and the watch having been produced the prisoner was fully committed to tho sessions for trial. WESTMINSTER.—Isaac Hammond, a powerful fellow, between 40 and 50 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Paynter, charged with at tempting to murder Sarah Farrell, by throwinc , her out of a window of a second floor in °York street, Westminster, stated to be between 30 and 40 feet high.

I afterwards heard him declare he would tear out her windpipe. Mr. Pay-nter—Was he drunk ? Witness—He had beett drinking, I think. I should say he had. After he had threatened her as I have described they went out together, and returned about 10 o'clock a t n i g h t. Their room adjoins mine. After they had entered I heard him lock the door. She tried to open the door, and entreated him to let her oat. He refused, and said, " I have got you here noir and will do for you." Immediately after that I beard the window opened in their room, and in a moment or two afterwards the door was opened, and the prisoner came out. I heard him say, " She is now out of window, and lam off." My wife said, "My God, what has he done ?" and we stopped hie' going down stairs. We went to a yard at the back of the house, and found the poor woman lying there on the stones. Mr. Paynter—Did you hear any y cries from the poor creature ? Witness—No, I did not Mr. Paynter—How 'wig was it from the time they had entered the room before the prisoner left it ? Witness‘s , .Not five minutes altogether.

Ferris Carr, 246 11, said—At half-past ten last night I heard cr i es of " Police" and " Murder" in York-street, and was told that a man had thrown his wife out of window. When I saw her she was insensible, and I then took him into custody. He wanted to go upstairs to get his shoes, but I told him it was a very serious matter, and I could not allow him. He re " I know it is a serious plied matter, and I must suffer , for it." He said she could not be much h ur t , as her f a ll h a d b ee n broken by the lamp.

Kaul, watchmaker, No. 28, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden. It appears that deceased left the dining-room on Wednesday. afternoon about four o'clock., and went up stairs ; shortly after, her sister came into her bedroom, when deceased said she was extremely ill, and asked her to put her to bed, when she would tell her something, and then informed her she had taken a large quantity of oxalic acid. She immediately sent to Charing-cross Hospital, when Mr. Skegg, the house surgeon, promptly at tended, but life was extinct. Last i light an inquest was held in the board-room of the Strand Union, Bow-street, Covent-garden. Mr. Adolphus Kaul, watch manufacturer, of No. 28, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, deposed that deceased was his daughter. She was a most amiable and accomplished girl. She had been for the last two years subject to epileptic fits. About three months since she had the last. She laboured under a delusion that her sister Fanny was unkind to her, and endeavoured to make witness and her mother so towards her. On the previous afternoon, about three o'clock, witness was alarmed by the screams of his daughter Fanny, who, on his going up stairs, called out " Oh, father, Julia has poisoned herself." Witness ran off for medical assistance. By the Coroner—The paper which had contained the poison was found in the room, also the cup out of which she had drunk it, which was secreted under a quantity of papers in the grate. The deceased was most affectionately treated by all her family. She frequently of late complained of her head, and was wandering in her manners. By the Jury—There is not the slightest truth that the deceased had been disappointed in her affections. Miss Fanny Kaul, the sister, spoke to the de ceased's very strange manners of late, and her having threatened to destroy herself. The Coroner inquired if it had been ascertained where she purchased the poison ? The beadle said it could not be discovered. Mr. Canton, the surgeon of Charing-cross Hospital, said the deceased died from the poison. Verdict—" TeMporary insanity." COUNTRY MARKETS. MANCHESTER . -SErr. 16.
