Ann Crawley, a decropid old woman, who has been charged at this Court with bogging sonic fifty times, and has been repeatedly convicted, was once more placed at the bar before Mr. Flowers on tho same charge. Police-constable 198 A deposed that he perceived the prisoner last night holding out her hand to the passers by. She was stationed at Northumberland mouse, her old haunt. In consequence of the complaints made to him he took her in custody. She said she was not begging, but only selling matches. Mr. Flowers observed that it was a great pity that some of those people who complain should not support the police by attending the Court to prosecute these nuisances. It was almost impossible for the constable to hear whether she was begging or not. The prisoner commenced addressing the learned magis trate in some very unintelligible language. Mr. Flowers—l have seen you at this Court, Mrs. Crawley, a great many times, but never could hear a word you said, and I don't suppose that your ever intended that I should hear you. (A laugh.) Mr. Flowers asked her why she did not go to the work house. They would support her? The constable said that she had been to the workhouse several times, but never stayed long. The Prisoner—Pleas, yer worship, I'm obliged to have the air to my heads Mr. Flowers—Then I wish you would take a change of air and go out of London altogether. (Laughter.) Redstall, the gaoler, said she had been committed for three months on one occasion. Mr. Flowers said there was not sufficient evidence to prove that she was positively begging on this occasion and ho was therefore disposed to let her off. LTo the pri soner' Would you like another three months, Mrs. Crawley ? The prisoner—Do what you like wid me your worship's honour. (Laughter.) Mr. Flowers discharged her to her infinite delight. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE AT THE " ALAMERA" MUSIC HALL.—Mr. John Bartholomew, a farmer, near Acton, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrrwhitt with assaulting Thomas Lissman, a waiter, at the Alhambra Music Hall. The complainant said that between 10 and 11 the pre vious night, the prisoner and his friend came in, and had brandies and lemonade, and gave him half-a•crown in payment. Ile put down the change, 6d., and the prisoner's friend said, " I suppose you want something," and on hid saying "Thank you," he replied, " Then you won't got it." Ho asked the prisoner's friend how he expected ho could live, and the prisoner's friend then made an exhi bition of his gold. Ho advised hint not to do so, or he might get robbed, and he then took out a roll of notes, and selecting one, he believed for £5O, asked him to smell it. The prisoner then said that sooner than be robbed he would kill any one. He told the prisoner he had better not do so, and the prisoner then said that he had called him a fool, and struck him in the eye, bleeding it. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no wonder that women of the town cruised about such places when men like the one described were to be found. Daniel Palmer, 54 o', said that on taking the prisoner into custody he admitted striking the complainant, saying that he was sorry that he had done so. The witness showed the manner in which he exhibited his gold and notes, and Mr. Tyrwhitt (after telling him that he had better take care of them) said he thought, under the circumstances, a fine of ss. amply sufficient. WESTMINSTER. ►SINGULAR AFTLICATION UNDER VIM MATRIMONIAL CAUSES AcT.—A young French woman applied to the presiding magistrate for a protection order under the fol lowing peculiar circumstances : Applicant said that her husband was a seaman in the merchant service. She now applied for a protection order against her husband because he had deserted her. He bad returned from a long voyage six weeks since, and landed at Liverpool. Mr. Arnold—You complain that he has deserted you. Applicant—l do. - Mr. Arnold—He is a sailor. I can't see that his going to sea, which is following his lawful calling, can bo deemed running away and deserting you. Applicant—He was at Liverpool and never came home to me. Hr. Arnold—l cannot possibly call this a desertion. I must decline to grant your application. THAMES. REFUSING TO PAY A RAILWAY FARE.—Timothy Sullivan, an Irish labourer, aged 34 years, who said he had been on the hop, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with re fusing to pay the fare from Tilbury to London, and with atealing a ticket belonging to the North London Railway Company. George Barry, constable in the servico of the Great Eastern Railway Company, said that an influx of hop pickers from Gravesend arrived at the Stepney junction terminus last night from Tilbury, and among them was the prisoner, who had no railway ticket, and whose fare as demanded. He told the prisoner he must pay, which ho refused to do, and went behind a collector. Near to him was a box containing used-up tickets and half-tickets of the North London, Blackwell, Tilbury and Southend Railways. The prisoner was seen to put his hand in the box and draw forth a ticket. The prisoner said the ticket was given to him at Tilbury after he had crossed over from Gravesend. Ile paid ls. 4d. for it. - - David Roof, a newspaper boy, said that he saw the pri soner take out a ticket from the box. Barry—lt is a ticket from Camden-town to Stepney. The prisoner said ho lost his Gravesend ticket, and took another which he thought was all the same. Mr. Benson said ho did not believe the prisoner paid his fare at all at Gravesend. If he had lost his ticket and had no money to pay for another ho ought to have given his name and address, to enable the railway company to sum mon him for the amount of his railway fare. Ile fined the prisoner 10s., and in default of payment committed the prisoner for seven days. 11 RKE7 8-7 1118 BAY Y. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Sept. 28.—Sales probably 8,000 bales. The market steady.

The object of the architect seems to have been to combine in tho memerial the peculiarities both of a memorial cross and a shrine, and with this view he has not confined himself too strictly to any particular school of architecturc—heeping, however, tolerably clear of the Gothic, to which memorial crosses are commonly supposed properly to belong. The ground plan of the Albert Memorial is square, and is surrounded by two successive flights of steps, the collective measurement of which is said to exceed four miles. The lowest and longest flight is the gift of the contractor, Mr. Kolk, but the upper ono is included in the estimate of cost. The lower and greater flight forms, as it were, the platform for the whole work, and at its four corners are to be placed the groups of sculpture, tho carving of which causes the great delay in the completion of the eontract. Wo were informed that the contract was a seven year's one, and that five have already been exhausted, whilst it is by no means certain that the two unexhausted years will see the envious scaffolding taken down, and the marble groups in their places. These groups are to be em blematic of the four quarters of the globe, and it is not difficult to imagine the conventional manner of distin guishing the different continents. At the top of the second flight stands the "Podium," or pedestal of the monument itself, and the "angles of this are advanced diagonally to form bases for a second series of statues suggestive of the arts of peace." This pedestal is to be covered with bas reliefs illustrating the fine arts ; those relating to architec ture and sculpture being entrusted to J. B. Phillip, and poetry, music, and painting to H. H. Armistead. The lower and larger groups are divided as follows :—P. MacDowell, R.A., takes Europe ; J. H. Foley, R.A., Asia ; W. Theed, Africa; and J. Bell, America. All the sculp tors have workshops "on the premises," but no facilities aro given to ascertain what progress has been made with their work. The upper or " diagonal" groups are in the hands of Caldwell, Marshall, Lawler, Weeks, and Thornycroft, and are respectively to represent "Agricul ture," "Engineering," "Manufactures," and "Navigation." We now come to the Memorial or shrine itself, which takes somewhat the form of the central estrade in a Greek church, with clusters of Byzantine pillars supporting the corners, and is surmounted by a rich Gothic canopy, the interior of which is to be enriched with elabo rate mosaic work. Beneath this canopy is to be a statue of the late Prince Consort, seated, and wearing the robes of the Order of the Garter. There is to be much gilding on the external entablatures of this "canopy," and the tall lantern tower surmounted by a cross which springs from its roof is also, we understand, to bo fully gilded. The materials of the structure—except, of course, the marble for the statuary—have been impartially selected from the different divisions of the United Kingdom. Irish granite forms the pedestals at the angles of the steps : from the "Ross of Mall " comes the solid base of the " Podium;" and another Scotch estate, " Correnie," supplies a rich orna mental granite, which is used for basing and capping pur poses. The Carrara marble for the statuary is from the well-know Paleri quarry ; and Portland stone, of which it is not necessary to indicate the locality or quality, and concrete make up the solid material of the Memorial. It was at first calculated that this structure might be erected for about £100,000; but, as usually happens, this sum has already been exceeded greatly, though the Memorial is still far from completion.—Daily News, THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE COMPANY .--~.--- A meeting of the policy-holders in the Royal Naval, Military, and East Indian Life Assurance Society, which was amalgamated with the European, was held at Grind lay's Subscription Room on Monday for the purpose of adopting means to protect their interests. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. S. P. Low) said that the first ques tion would be whether the reporters should remain'or not, and the question was unanimously answered in the affir mative. Mr. Low then went on to speak of the circumstances attending the transfer of the Naval and Military to the European Society. They had not mot as "wreckers " —(hear, hear)— but only wanted to know what their interests were. The directors of the European said there was no necessity for winding up ; but the balance-sheet had been presented to the public, and they, as men of common sense, could consider it. They had applied to the European for a surrender of some policies ; but they received a circular saying that in the disturbed state of assurance business and in the interests of the general body of policy-holders, and having in view the deed of settlement, the directors could not comply with the request. That was on the 20th of September, before the petition was presented, and he thought that act was tan tamount to ono of bankruptcy. Ho then pro ceeded to read a letter, in which the writer said that the interests of the Naval and Military assurers were safe, as by the deed of settlement the Naval and Military could not amalgamate. Captain JONES, who said he was a director of the Euro pean, but represented many shareholders, stated that the view of the writer was quite correct. Mr. GREIG moved that the policy-holders in the Naval and Military should not take any part in the petition. Mr. CLARKE, as a professional man, would discourage in terference. Ho believed if the European was wound up, the shareholders of the Naval and Military would be responsible to their own shareholders. He looked upon the European receiving premiums as he would any other agent. (Hear, hear.) It was here proposed that the meeting should be ad journed for a week, so that the facts of the case might be ascertained. Mr. PIKE (Merriman and Pike) said that the periodwould be too short, as the European were the custodians of the books and documents, and point blank refused to let them be seen. Captain JexEs said that the policy-holders had every thing to lose by the winding-up. The guarantee business was worth X 50,000. Ho pointed out how in a few years the company could be made ono of the largest financial concerns in the country. The company had refused no claim, and with the income they had they could meet every claim as it fell due. The AcTrAnY of the European (Mr. Walker) said that owing to the large number of shareholders they could call up 500,000. A number of old lives had lately fallen in ; but in no one instance had a claim been refused ; but they had now got a good youthful business. He believed that the petition for winding up would be dismissed on the ground that the company was capable of paying every claim. It had a large business in America; but as in that country they could only carry on a life assurance company pure and simple, the branch would be shut up, and the funds transferred to this country. The CHAIRMAN referred to the European having refused to surrender policies. Captain JONES said that for a long time persons had been trying to undermine the company, and the directors thought that, until the panic consequent on the panic con nected with the failure of the Albert had abated, it was better not to buy the policies. The CHAIRMAN always thought a company was glad tc got hold of the policies. Captain JONES : Not always. bank. It is like a run on Mr. 011ANNEY said he had paid for a policy £•l5 in fifteen years, and yet all he got for the surrender was £5. He should look to the shareholders of the Naval and Military, as the policy-holders who had never been consulted as to being joined to a rotten affair ought not to lose. When ho wrote to the Naval and Military everything was fair and above board, but when they were amalgamated the reverse was the case, Mr. Ginsort coincided in this opinion. The CHAinmex asked if Captain Jones would pledge himself to allow a committee to inspect the settlement deed Captain JoN - Es would promise for his own part, and be lieved he could do so for the chairman (Sir Frederick Smith). Mr. HOLDEN would sooner look to the shareholders of the Naval and Military than the European. It was then agreed that the meeting should be adjourned for a week, and that Messrs. O'Manney, Clarke, and the chairman be a committee to impect the deed and get other information. Blondin reappeared at the Crystal Palace on Mon ay in a tight-rope performance. It was not, however, of such a dangerous character as that which was witnosscd I'AJUS CORRESPONDENCE• 401iDAY. The Bishop of Orleans has addressed a letter to He Father Hy ac inthe.

The incognito which the King will m, will correspond to that observed by the Exnptess dur, on the occasion of will come to in strict the whole of her voyage. Her departure is now quite decided, and in some degree her visit will have a political character, since it contradicts the exaggerated reports that have been made respecting the health of the Emperor. Napoleon went yesterday to the races at Longchamps. He walked about for some time leaning on the arm of one of his attendants. Before starting for the races the Emperor took a long walk in the park of St. Cloud. The Journal des _Wats looks with considerable displea sure on the movement of M. de Keratry, although it admits the speedy convocation of the Chambers to be desirable and even necessary. The Government in prolonging the delay is not, according to the Debuts, acting unconstitutionally, while the action proposed by the deputy from Finisterre is both illegal and impolitic. The Slide, on the other hand is inclined to favour the suggestion of M. Keratry, and satirises with some severity the comfortable optimism of Baron de Benoist, who believes that so long as his electors of the Meuse are silent all France is satisfies to remain without a Parliament. I hoar that M. Rouher has been consulted by the Emperor respecting the convocation of the Chamber, and that he earnestly advised that the date should be fixed in October, arguing that otherwise the Executive would have no alternative but to dissolve the Chamber, a step which would entail the formation of a new Cabinet. iutaill M. Guizot has sent a communication to M. Gamier, director of the Decentralisation, on the subject of the Con gress of the Departmental Press. He offers his best wishes for the success of the undertaking, but duly estimates the difficulties that are in the way. The public attention was almost exclusively given yesterday to the discovery which had just taken place in the fields at Pantin. The Academy of Belles Lettres and Inscriptions heard some important lectures in its sittings last Friday, M. Huillard-Breholles continued his studies on the political state of Italy, and put before the Academy an casay on the Papal power and the Italian communities during the struggle between the sacerdotal and the Imperial power. It is confidently asserted that the individual who sold the autographs to M. Chasles, of the Institute, the forger, Vrain Lucas has never been to school, except at his own village. He was :for a long time copier at the Office of Mortgages, in Chateaudun, and is evidently only an accom plice in the affair, which will long bo remembered at tho Institute. A landslip occurred the other day at Brossuires on the railway line of Napoleon Vendee. Four workmen were crushed under the ruins. A sort of public funeral has been given to them to-day. The Patrie denies the truth of the statement put forth by tho Figaro as to the duel said to have taken place at Brussels between M. Henri Rochefort and an officer of the National Guard. The will of Marshal Niel has been opened. It is a document of the antique type, lofty moral reflections preceding all directions as to more material interests. Another dreadful crime is reported. A mysterious murder has been committed at Toulon. M. Samson, a mer chant, of middle ago, has been found dead in his room. wounded in sixteen places by a poignard. Theft was not the motive, as the victim's watch and a hank note were untouched on the table, and some writing found in the room shows that the crime was prompted by revenge. SHAH* LIST.

THE POTATO CROP.—The following is Professor Muckman's opinion of this year's potato crop :—"Potatoes, which at one time wore threatened with disease, have got on well in tho drought, for, though the crop will scarcely bo half that of last year, yet super tuberation— unless to those still out—will be rare. The tubers are fully ripened and more floury than in most seasons, which is a good omen for tho future ;eed, and a consolation by letting us know that the evil effects of last years's second growth have so far boon yercorue' THE ASSASSINATION AT TARRAGONA. The Civil Governor at Tarragona has made an officigr report of the murder of his secretary. He states that the unfortunate man was killed because he informed the R3publicans that they were acting in an illegal manner. The Republicans on their side declare that the Acting- Governor carried a revolver and that it was supposed he intended to shcot General Picrrad. He also gave great offence by tearing down one cf the Republican flags. It is agreed on all sides that the crowd acted with grea; cruelty in the affair. GENEILIL SICKLES. The Neu) York Tribune states, from a trustwoi tby source, that General Sickles was not authorised to make any de mand upon the Spanish Government. He was merely instructed to act as a mediator on the basis already pub lished ler the independence of the island of Cuba. TUE DURBAR AT AGRA It has now been officially announced that it is uncertain whether the Viceroy of Indi.L will hold a Durbar at Agra in the coming cold scasen. It will entirely depend upon the state of the country at the close of the next harvest The distress in Rajpootana and Gwalior is very great, and even in our own districts there is cause for anxiekr. Unless matters should improve very much the Durbar will be abandoned, and even should it be held, no native Princes and chiefs will be invited to attend, whose progress through the country with a large number of followers would be likely to cause inconvenience to the people LIST FOR THE USE OF VISITORS TO THE METROPOLIS.

MURDER. IN ,SOU2IIIVARK. The Coroner's inquest upon the body of the mur dered woman Ann Wrght alias Martini, was held to-day at St. George's Workhouse, before Mr. Payne, the Coroner. The inquiry occasioned great interest, and the denizens of the peculiar locality with which the workhouse is surrounded, turned out in great numbers. The jury proceeded with the inquiry, the man Martini not being present. A number of witnesses were exa mined, whose testimony only went to the extent of corroborating the accounts that have already been published, and the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the man Martini. At the close of the inquiry the witnesses were then taken to the Southwark Police Court, where the prisoner was formally charged with the capital offence and fully committed for trial.
