THE ARMY. With the exception of a few minor details, the handsome Memorial Arch which has been some time in progress at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, to the memory of those officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the Royal Engineers who fell in the Crimea during the Russian war, is now completed. The idea of raising a memorial to their brave com rades who fell in the struggle with Russia origi nated with a few of the officers of the Royal Engi neers, and, the Government having consented to ap propriate a piece of ground at the end of the parade ground of Brompton Barracks for that purpose, Mr. Digby Wyatt was requested to prepare the plans for the proposed structure, the idea of an arch, although not altogether without precedent, being finally decided upon by the committee of officers of Engineers engaged in superintending the under taking, and a considerable sum having previously been raised by the officers and men of the corps of Royal Engineers. The foundation stone of the structure was laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on the Ist of March last, and so rapidly have the works been prosecuted by Messrs. Mansfield and Son, the builders, that the arch will be ready for the opening ceremonial to take place within a very few days. As a description of the present structure has already appeared in The Sun, it will only be necessary to state that the arch as viewed from the parade-ground of Brompton barracks, where it i e s seen to the greatest advantage, has a most imposing appearance, the site selected being probably one of the best that could have been fixed upon. The memorial consists of a lofty cen tral arch, with two side-arches of lesser dimensions ; the whole formed of Portland stone, which for erec tions of this kind is exceedingly appropriate. On the spandrils and piers are beautifully executed carvings of angels and allegorical figures, together with carvings of some of the trophies taken during the Russian war, and open laurel-work ; this part of the undertaking having been executed by Mr. Farmer, of Westminster, assisted by some French artists. Both sides of the arch are covered with marble slabs, on which are engraved the names of every officer and man of the Royal Engineers who lost his life in the Crimea. The following inscrip tion is engraved on the architrave :—" The Corps of Royal Engineers to their Comrades who Fell in the War with Russia, 1854 5-6." The gates of the arch are not yet fixed, and these, which will be of a highly ornamental character, are being cast at the foundry of Messrs. Porter, South Molton-street, Oxford-street, the Government giving Russian guns taken at Sebastopol for that purpose. On account of the change in the weather yester day the whole of the troops in garrison at 'Wool wich recommenced their outdoor exercises. The review-ground on Woolwich-common was occupied in the morning by the horse brigade of Royal Ar tillery, who went through a course of gunnery ex ercise, firing blank cartridge, and were inspected by the general commanding the garrison, Sir Rich. Dacres, after which the general went through his first inspection of the Antrim Militia Artillery who were drawn up in line at 2 o'clock on the bar rack-field for that purpose, in command of Major Verner, in the absence on leave of Colonel the Viscount Massereene and Ferrard, command ing. They subsequently marched past in slow and quick time and close column, and, having passed a most satisfactory inspection, they were dismissed to quarters at 3 o'clock. The gunnery range in Plum stead Marshes was taken up by some batteries be longing to the depot, who were engaged in ball firing. The mortar battery was occupied by de tachments of the 4th Brigade in firing 13, 10, and 8-inch shells at a flagstaff target on Woolwich common, over a range of 800 yards, under the direc tion of Colonel Gardiner. The division of Royal Marines, in command of Colonel Stransham, was drawn out on Woolwich-common, and underwent a course of battalion exercise. The Gun-park and Artillery-parade were filled with recruits under a course of fuse firing, and every other available spot throughout the entire garrison was filled with re cruits engaged in various grades of exercise and drill, whose outdoor practice has been for some time past dispensed with from day to day in consequence of the bad weather. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT, The Devon County Volunteer Association, which has been formed through the instrumentality of Earl Fortescue, the Lord-Lieutenant of Devonshire, and other noblemen and gentlemen, has announced ' its intention of offering prizes of £lOO and down wards to be competed for in a short time, at some eligible' place in the county, by Volunteers con nected with the various corps in Devonshire and elsewhere. A large muster of Volunteers and a spirited competition are anticipated. On Friday the 12th company of Somerset Rifle Volunteers met at their parade-ground, Wivelis combe, and, headed by the band of the 3d Somer set Rifles, and accompanied by a large crowd, marched to a field near the town, when Captain Hancock, the captain of the corps, put them through several evolutions, which were performed in a highly creditable manner. After this the ladies of the neighbourhood presented the company with a set of musical instruments. The shops were closed and business entirely suspended during the afternoon. In the evening Capt. and Mrs. Hancock gave a ball and supper to the Volunteers and their friends, at which about 250 persons were present. An inspection of the North Staffordshire batta lion of Rifle Volunteers—eight companies being present—teok place in Trentham-park on Tuesday last, in presence of thousands of spectators from the Staffordshire Potteries and Newcastle and adjoin ing places. The inspection was conducted by Col. Buller, the colonel of the regiment, assisted by Captain Buchanan, the adjutant. Each company was accompanied by its band. As this is only the second time the companies have been brou;ht together for battalion drill, the way in which they executed the various manoeuvres was highly creditable to them, and frequently elicited ex pressions of admiration from the spectators. At the close of the inspection the colonel, in addressing the officers and men, said he had been quite taken by surprise with respect both to the numbers pre sent and the efficiency to which they had attained, and ho should have the pleasing task of forwarding to the Lord-Lieutenant of the county a flattering repsrt of their efficiency. The North Staffordshire battalions of Rifles are a very fine body of men, nearly of uniform height, and they looked remark able well on parade. The 3d Battalion of the Sussex Rifle Volunteers, comprising the following corps -Ist (Brighton), 2d (Cuckfield), 4th (Lewes), 7th (East Grinstead), and 16th (Battle)—met, under the command of Lieut.-Col. R. Moorsom, at Brantridge, near Bal comlie, the seat of Capt. Meek, the Commandant of the 2d Sussex Corps. The battalion mustered very strong, and at the, conclusion of the drill the com manding officer expressed his approbation of the way the men and officers had gone through their evolutions. Each man had had 10 rounds of blank ammunition served out to him, and the volley and file firing, considering the short time the men have had arms, was very good. The 13th Kent Artillery Volunteer Corps (Sheer ness Dockyard), under the command of Captain Robinson, Commandant of the corps, marched, for the first time under arms, several miles up the island on Monday, preceded by their band. The corps pre sented a very soldierlike appearance. They are making excellent great-gun practice both with shot and shells. The Portsmouth Civil Service Volunteer Corps, under the command of Mr. Sturdee, Assistant- Master Shipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard, com menced their drill, under the instruction of Capt. Rogan, R.A., and Staff, in the dockyard, on Tues day evening. This corps, which is of quite tecent formation, already musters 256 effective members, besides 30 Volunteers for the band. The Volunteers of Hull, both Artillery and Rifles, have been for the past few weeks actively pursuing their drill, for:the purpose of being enabled to put in a creditable appearance at the review at Hull on Monday, the 27th inst., before Lord Wenlock, on the occasion of the great demonstration then to take place in connexion with the ceremony of the Mayor of Hull (Mr. Pearson) giving to the town 27 acres of land f or a people ' s park. The Rifle Volunteers of Hull now comprise five companies, with an ave rage of 70 mement o each company. The whole of the companies, with the exception of the last-formed THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST Yl6, 1860. THE NA VY. A letter from Malta, dated Valetta, Aug. 11, half past 2 p.m., says :—" Her Majesty's screw troopship Megmra, Commander Henderson, arrived here from Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Gibraltar at 2.15 p.m. of the 9th inst., bringing out 126 supernumeraries for the fleet, and small detachments of troops, con sisting of Lieut. Tresilian, 3d Buffs ; Lieut. Ward, 22d Regiment ; Ensign the Hon. C. North, Rifle Brigade; and 29 soldiers and soldiers' wives. The Megmra left Portsmouth on the 26th ult., and arrived that evening at Plymouth, where she took in 1,000 bags of bread for Gibraltar. She left Ply mouth on the afternoon of the 28th, making a good run under steam and canvass to Cape St. Vincent, and arrived on the afternoon of the 2d of August at Gibraltar, where she found at anchor her Majesty's screw-sloop Greyhound, the paddlewheel-sloop Scourge, and the gun-boat Quail, The Greyhound left Gibraltar on the morning of the 4th for Malta, but has not yet made her appearance. The Megrera left Gibraltar on the same evening, and arrived at Malta as above-mentioned, making the passage from England, excluding stoppages, in rather less than 10 days. She is to leave Malta on Monday, the 13th inst., for Corfu, and will return home with invalids. We have at present in port her Majesty's line-of-battle ships Queen, Cressy, and St. Jean d'Acre, which are making good their defects, and they will leave in a day or two for a cruise off the island; also the gun-boats Assurance and Boxer, and the despatch boat Caradoc. The Assurance is under orders to leave for Beyrout, and to proceed under steam, on Wednesday next, the 15th inst. The Boxer is in dock, under repair, as is also the sailing tender Kertch, which is being converted into a floating tank for her Majesty's ships at Gibraltar. Her Majesty's line-of-battle ship James Watt is on her way from Candia to Malta, having carried away the crank pin of her engine, which will be put to rights there. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers Valetta and Ceylon left Matta on the Sth instant, the former for Marseilles, and the latter for Gibraltar and Southampton, with the China and India mails. The Alhambra, of the same company, arrived at 6 30 p.m. on the Bth instant from N arseilles, with the outward overland portion of the Bombay mail, and left for Alexandria after replenishing her coals. A small English screw steamer called the Ossian arrived on the Bth inst., in ballast, from Leith to Patras, and left on the fol lowing day for her destination. The second arrival of French troops for Syria took place on the 9th inst., by the French packet Borysthene from Mar seilles, which brought me 28 officers and 406 men. She left the same evening for Alexandria and Bey rout. A large French steamer, the Amerique, has just entered port from Marseilles with 1,100 men and 24 horses of the French expeditionary force to Syria. The troops are under the command of Gen. de Beaufort, who, with his staff, immediately on arrival, proceeded to the palace to pay his respects to his Excellency the Governor. The Spanish war steamer General Alava, Capt. de Lopes, arrived to day from Marseilles with the following passengers, on her way to Alexandria :—Capt.-General Jose M'Crohon and family, Lieut.-Col. A. Perras, Capt. J. Blake, Commandant E. Arroynel, Brigadier E. Salcedo, Mr. Armaque, Mr. T. Llesseras, and four servants. Capt.-General M'Crohon, lately Spanish Minister of Marine, is proceeding as Governor- General of the Phillipine Islands to take up that post. The French packet Indus arrived to-day from Alexandria, and leaves this evening with a mail for Marseilles. I understand that his Excel lency the Governor has applied to the Naval Com mander-in-Chief, through Admiral Codrington, to have a re-examination, and, if possible, a periodical survey, made of the dangerous shoal known as Graham's Shoal,' lying in the Malta Channel, and greatly in the track of steamers and sailing vessels, and which, from its changeable origin and charac ter, has been so long a source of anxiety to ship masters. The last survey given to the public was made by Lord Frederick Kerr, in her Majesty's ship Scourge, and published with a lithographic diagram, showing its surface and soundings in April 1851. At that time it had only 16 feet water; and, according to Admiral Harvey's communication to the Chief Secretary, under date the 13th of April in that year, a considerable decrease of water and increase of danger appeared from a comparison with the previous survey." Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir R. S. Dundas, K.C.8., First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Sir B. W. Walker, Bart., K.C.8., Controller to the Navy, yesterday visited Woolwich dockyard, and went on board the screw steamship Anson, 91, intended to be launched on the 15th proximo. Their lordships, accompanied by the Commodore• Superintendent, the Hon. J. R. Drum mond, Commander Hawker, Mr. Thomas, Master of the Fisgard, Messrs. Thornton and Turner, Master and Assistant-Master Shipwrights, afterwards pro ceeded along the wharfs, inspecting the various ships under construction, examined the progress of the Pioneer steamer, in course of fitment, to join (in command of Master-Commander May) Dr. Living stone's Zambesi expedition, and visited the whole of the ships, with which the basins are at presen crowded. The Hornet, 17, screw, Commander Elphinstone, tried her speed at the measured mile in Stokes•bay on Tuesday, and realised a mean speed of 8 knots, This, although a low rate of speed for vessels of her class, is considerably in excess of what she has hitherto done. The Princess Royal, 91, screw, and the Immor talite, 51, screw, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, are both being hurried forward as much as possible in their fitment for the first class in the steam reserve. The screw steam coast guardship Hogue, 60, hav ing had her bowsprit taken out, was put into No. 3 dock at Devonport on Tuesday. Her bottom is very foul, and covered with mussels. The screw steamship Brunswick, 80, was put out of No. 3 dock at Keyham on Tuesday, and placed in the basin. The screw steamship Howe, 121, at Devonport, having had her bottom coppered, will be put out of No. 1 dock to-day. The Admiral-Superintendent Rear-Admiral Sir T. Pasley, Bart., went into Plymouth Sound on Tuesday in his yacht, and paid a visit to the officers of the Russian frigate General Admiral, which sailed at 5 p.m. for Syria. The crew of the screw steara frigate Emerald, 51, Capt. A. Cumming, will be paid wages to-day. The topmasts of the training ship Royal Adelaide, Capt. Hall, at Devonport, were fidded on Tuesday. The screw steamship Desperate, 8, was placed under the shears in Keyham basin on Tuesday to receive some manchinery. Orders have been received at Devonport to com mission the screw steam-sloop Curlew, 9, and the Espoir, 5. The former is to have a crew of 100 men, and the latter 60. The new gunboats Heron and Dotterel, from Liverpool, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday in tow of the merchant tug Emperor. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Geyser, 6, Com mander G. M.

SUMMER ASSIZES'. WESTEUN CIRCUIT.—BRISTOL, Aug. 15. (Vefore Mr. Justice Keating.) JACKSON BY NEXT FRIEND V. WILLIAMSON.- BREAC•H OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Carter and Mr. Cole for the defence. Mr. Coleridge opened the pleadings. The action w v s for a breach of promise of marriage. The de fendant pleadeil first, that he did not promise ; and second, that the plaintiff had been guilty of lewd and unchaste co nduct, whereby ho was released. Mr. Collier, in stating the case, said the plaintiff was a young girl of only seventeen years of age. Her father was a respectable man—a master car penter, living in Holborn ; he had several chil dren,, and had brought them up respectably. He and his wife were both very honest persons, al though in a humblesphere of life. The defendant, Mr. Williamson, was a victualler, and in 1856 he was occupying a house called the Sugar Loaf, in King-street, Drury-lane, London. That house was. burnt down, and the plaintiff's father being employed upon the rebuilding of it, he formed an acquaintance with the defendant, who at that time was a married man. They visited and deank tea together. At that time the plaintiff was only 13 years old. In 1857 Mr. Williamson's wife died, and he went out of business for a time ; but esally in 1858 he went into business again at a tavern called the Three Tuns, New-street, Fetter lane. At this time the plaintiff was about 15 years of sag e and the defendant proposed to her parents that ;he should come and live with him as a sort of upper servant or barmaid. The parents had a good deal of objection to this; they did not like to part with so young a girl, nor did they exactly ap prove of her going to live at a public-house. How ever defendant said he would take the same care of her as if she was his own child, and would be a father to her, and yielding to those importunities, her parents unfortunately allowed her to go into his service. That proved the plaintiff's ruin. In a very short time the defendant seduced her under a promise ,ef marriage. The poor girl for a long time contrived to conceal her shame, and it was not until she had been enciente several months that her mother discovered the condition in which she was. Her parents had all along relied on the defendant's promise to behave to her as a father, and when they discovered what had happened they were of course greatly distressed. The mother called upon the defendant to upbraid him with his gross conduct, and he said, " Oh, don't think any thing of it. I always intended to marry your daughter, and shall do so now." Upon hearing that, the good woman's grief was a good deal moderated. Subsequently, however, the father went to him, when he renewed the promise, and said the marriage should take place almost imme diately. Believing in his promises, the poor girl made preparations for her wedding. The defen dant did not get the ring or publish the banns, as he had promised, and the poor 'girl was confined. After that he began to make excuses, and when the father called on him after her , confinement, and asked him to fulfil his promise, he said, " Oh, she is too young." He visited her several times after this, and repeated his promise to marry. As he did not keep his promise, the girl wrote to ask him to give her a character, to enable her to get a situation if he did not intend to make her his wife. He (Mr. Collier) would now read the defendant's answer. It was in these words—" This is to certify that Elizabeth Jackson lived with me as barmaid, and I found her strictly sober, honest, and industrious. Grove-house, Kennington." The learned counsel then proceeded to comment severely on the line of defence adopted, which was adding insult to the injury ho had inflicted, end was without foundation. The plaintiff's case having closed, Mr. Carter said he had to ask his lordship to postpone the cause. He was instructed that Vincent, who had been brought down from London as a witness for the defence, had been threatened by the plaintiff's party, and had been effectually got out of the way. _ _ Mr. Collier said he could believe that 'Vincent would not appear, but not for the reason stated. Mr. Carter said the witness had been brought down to prove the plea on the record. As he was instructed, he had been threatened by the plaintiff's attorney. The attorney, Mr. Hutchins, indignantly denied that he had seen the man. Mr. Justice Keating—Don't let us have a scer.e. It is right that I should state that I am not yielding to Mr. Carter's application, because no proof has been offered of what is suggested, and I am sure the jury, until it is proved by evidence, will dismiss the imputation from their minds. It is about the time, however, at which I proposed to rise, and we will see what the morning will produce. Mr. Carter said he hoped to find the witness by the morning, and the court then rose. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LIVERPOOL, Aug. 15. Mr. Baron Martin took his seat on the bench in the Crown Court this morning at 9 o'clock. EMBEZZLEMENT AT LIVERPOOL. Robert Brew Anderson, a person of gentlemanly appearance, in the 68th year of his age, formerly the manager of the Northern Hospital, Liverpool, pleaded guilty to having forged and uttered several receipts for money, with intent to defraud the 'trustees of that institution. There were two other true bills found against the prisoner for similar offences, to each of which he also pleaded guilty. Mr. Bolton, for the prisoner, begged to direct the attention of his lordship to one or two points in the case. The prisoner had, it was true, pleaded guilty to forging and uttering; but it would be seen that the offence was more a case of embezzlement than forgery ; indeed, it was forgery to cover embezzle ments. The prisoner, at the time he committed th is offence, was the general manager of the Northern Hospital ; and as such had the sole control of al: the funds. He had received several sums and had not accounted for them. His Lordship—l know all the facts of this case from the depositions. Mr. Bolton—lt will be seen that since the charge was made against the prisoner he has made every restitution he could. It was true he had committed forgery for the purpose of covering his embezzle ments, and not for the purpose of fraud. The pri soner had returned in the first instance £lOO, thus giving up all he had. There were large sums pass ing through his hands, and from the great benefit that the institution had gained from the prisoner's services and exertions, he (Mr. Bolton) was sure that the trustees were more than compensated for the sums (about £900) he was deficient. The pri soner was a man with a family, having a sick wife, and had only a salary of £lOO. This was not suf ficient to enable him to associate with persons from whom benefit might arise to the infirmary ; and it was to be regretted that the trustees had not remu nerated his services better. But the prisoner had pleaded guilty, and he (Mr. Bolton). in his name, begged the court to look mercifully upon him. Tne prisoner entirely threw himself on his lordship's mercy. His lordship, in passing sentence upon the pri soner, said there was one observation made by the learned counsel in which he perfectly agreed, namely, that the crime to which he had pleaded guilty was more like embezzlement than forgery , but it was embezzlement of the worst kind. He hardly knew of a case with worse features than that of a person, while professing to be engaged in the collection of money fob' a charitable institution, to ap propriate such moneys to his own purposes. It could not be permitted for a person to go about collecting moneys, sometimes from poor persons who wished to do charitable acts, to appropriate them to his own use, and to cover his own defalca tions. This was as bad a case as it was possible to conceive, and there was no doubt but that it would carry with it its own punishment in a certain de gree ; but it could not be allowed to go unpuni s h e d by th law. His lordship then sentenced the pri soner to 15 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. TIIE DRICKM AKERS' STRIKE AT OLDIIAM.-CHARGE. OF MURDER. James APlutyre, 34, and Michael Brett, 27, de scribed in the calendar as briekmakers, were in dicted for having, on the 27th of June last, caused the death of Richard Richards, a navvie, at Old ham. Dr. Wheeler, Q.C., (with whom was Mr. Fearn ley), appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Hig gins dcfended the prisoners. In this case, it appeared from the' evidence of the several witnesses called, that on the morning of the day in question the two prisoners were at work in a brickfield belonging to Mr. Gill, in Oldham About noon they went to a public-house, the Mare and Foal, where they had some drink. At this period there was a strike amongst the brickmakers, but beyond the fact that such an event had taken place, it did not interfere with the case, except that the deceased was dressed in the same girl) as the brickmakers, and hone?, it might be that he was mistaken for one of that class. A boy named Ker shaw 'was assisting them in the field, and went with the two prisoners to the public-house. After being in the tap-room for a short time, the deceased, who was passing along the road, was called to the public house by the prisoner M'lntyre and asked to have a glass of ale. He said he had no objection, and a glass of ale was handed to him, and, while he was hi the act of drinking it, the glass was dashed out of his hands by M'lntyre, he was knocked down, kicked about the head and face, and received such injuries that he died on the 10th of July of lock jaw from the effects of the wounds he had received. The lad (Kershaw) swore on the present occasion that it was the prisoner M'latyre who had knocked the deceased down, and that the other prisoner (Brett.) had kicked him about the head and face while he was on the ground, but in cross-examina tion the witness admitted that on a previous oc casion, when before the magistrates, he had sworn that he did not know who had struck the deceased. The jury retired, and after being in consultation for three-quarters of an hour returned a verdict of not guilty against each prisoner. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-Aug. 15. OLD COURT. Elizabeth Weekstead, 30 was charged with feloniously attempting to drown her child, Mary Ann Weekstead, with intent to murder her. Mr. Lilley conducted the prosecution. This case was one of a very dreadful character. It appeared that the prisoner was an Irishwoman, and that she was a soldier's widow, aria received a pension, and that the child in ques tion was an illegitimate one, five months old. On the sth of July the prisoner received her pension, and she came home to her residence in Hooper street, Westminster-road, in a mad state of drunkenness, and behaved very violently to'several people who were in the house, and also threw the child about in her own room. After this the child got into the yard at the back of the house, and it began to cry, and the prisoner exclaimed " You -- bastard, I'll do for you," and jumped out of a window into the yard, and took up the child and threw it with great violence upon the ground. A young man, named Patrick Wall, who lived next door ran up and picked up the child. Before she threw it down the prisoner struck the child a blow with her clenched fist on the head, and when Wall had taken the infant from her she asked him to give it to her, and said she would take it indoors. He gave her the child, and the moment the prisoner had possession of it she ran to the water-butt that was in the yard, and in which there was about three feet in depth of water, and threw the child in head-foremost and walked away. The child was rescued immediately by the witness Wall, and the prisoner exclaimed, "Bring the young -- in; I will do for it on the quiet." The prisoner then fas tened herself in her own room, and it was broken open by a female neighbour, who found her lying on the ground with her hair all about her face, and upon her inquiring what she had been doing to the poor child, the prisoner rushed at her and stabbed her in the face with a knife. Evidence was also given that when the prisoner was delivered of this unfortunate child she said that she only wished it was dead, and she appeared to be afraid that her having the child would be the means of causing her to lose her pension; The in fant, it appeared, had not suffered any material in jury from the brutal conduct of the prisoner, and it was stated that it was thriving and doing well. The witnesses for the prosecution admitted, in answer to questions put by the prisoner, that they , had not seen her in any way illuse the child before this occurrence, and that she generally treated it kindly. The officer who apprehended the prisoner said that she acted very violently, appeared like a mad woman. He took the child to Mr. Wagstaffe, a surgeon, and observed that th ere was a l ump on i ts head as large as a hen's egg. The prisoner, when before the magistrate, made a statement to the effect that she did not know what she was about on the day in question, and she now put in a written paper in her defence, in which she stated that she was the widow of a soldier who lost his life in the Crimea, and that she received a pension from Government as his widow. The child in question, she said, belonged to another soldier, who had promised to marry her, and would have done so if his regiment had not been ordered to India. With regard to the offence of which slie was accused, she said that she went with some other soldiers' widows to get her pension, and they induced her to drink some spirits, to which she was unaccustomed, and she became mad drunk and did not know what she did. Mr. Justice Williams summed up, and The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but re commended the prisoner to mercy on account of her previous kind treatment of the child. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said that it was a most melancholy case. The prisoner appeared by drink to have transformed herself from a kind mother to a wild beast, and notwith standing the recommendation to mercy of the jury he felt compelled to pass upon her a severe sen tence, and to direct that she should be kept in penal servitude fol. the space of three years. The prisoner, when the sentence was pronounced, commenced screaming and howling, and wanted to know whether her" dear child" would be allowed to be with her, and she was forced out of the dock by the gaolers in attendance. Mary Allen, 40, was charged with unlawfully and maliciously assaulting Caroline Lefevre. In other counts of the indictment the prisoner was charged with assaulting the prosecutrix and causing her bodily h arm . Mr. Lilley ca c s o e n t d o u t et Le jury edthe said p r t o h s e e c f u a t c i t o s n i , ie and shouldin opening the have to lay before th em were of such a nature as must necessarily ex c i te the sympathy of every one who heard them, and ; :e , therefore, requested them not to allow their feelin gs to prevail unfairly against the prisoner, but that they would look calmly at the evidence which will be laid before them, and give their verdict uninfluenced by the prejudice that must naturally be created by some of the facts that would be deposed t o . The circumstances of this case have been very recently and very fully Isid before the public. The prisoner was a schoolna stress in Redcross-street, Southwark, and it appeased that about three years ago, Caroline Lefevre, the prosecutrix, a child nine years old, the daughter of a labourer in the service of Messrs. Barclay 'and Co., was sent to the pri soner's school, and after being there about two years, she expressed a desire that the child should not any longer come to her as a scholar, but that she should be with her as a companies. From this time there appeared to be no doubt that the prisoner had treated the poor child with the greatest possible cruelty, that she was in the habit of beating her with a cane and a thick stick, which she actually broke while assaultin g her, and which stick was found in the prisoner's house with blood upon it, and , upon one occasion, for some trifling fault, she burnt her on the hand and the neck withal ot iron. When she was taken away she was in a most dreadful state, her body and arms being covered with bruises and wounds, one of the latter at the back of the head being of a very extensive character. Caroline Lefevre, the poor child whose treatment was the subject of inquiry, deposed to the various acts of cruelty she had received from the prisoner, and she also said that one day the prisoner made her fetch the pan that was in the school-room, and she insisted upon her eating some of the filth that was in it, and placed a small quantity in her mouth. She spat it out, and the prisoner then told her that :f she did not swallow some, she would poke it down her throat with a stick, and in consequence of this threat she did swallow some. (This statement, as may naturally be imagined,. caused considerable sen sation in the court.) She also stated that the pri soner not only struck her with the cane and the stick, but that she had also struck her with a poker and a fire shovel. The prisoner inquired of the witness how she came by the injury at the back of her head. The child in a most artless manner replied, " You did it, g►overness." She then burst into tears, and evidently entertained a strong feeling of terror of the prisoner. Mr. Justice Williams (to the prosecutrix)--Why did you not tell your father when you went home how you was treated ? She replied—l was afraid to do so, because I knew I had to go back to my governess. Several neighbours of the prisoner were examined, and they proved that upon many occasions they had seen her beat the poor child in a most brutal manner, and that when she bled, from the injuries she received, the prisoner told her to go and wash herself at the water-tap. One Of the witnesses was asked by the learned judge why she did not apply to the authorities, or give some informatipn as to the conduct of the prisoner towards the child, and she replied that the neighbours used to talk upon the subject, but they appeared to think that if they interfered they would only be told to mind :heir own business. The prisoner, whet called upon for her defence, put in a written paper, in which she asserted that the prosecutrix was a very naughty child, and addicted to thieving and other bad habits, and that she punished her in crder to cure her of her bad propensities, but only did so moderately. She did not appear to (icily that she had forced the child to eat the filth, but expliined that the reason for her doing so was that the child had put some into her (prisoner's) plate wQe her back was turned one day for a shot t period at dinner time, and that she thought she would serve her the same., She also admitted that the chAd was burned one day, but said that she was ironn ig at the time, and the child Per.isted in pulling th e mat upon which she rubbed the iron away front h3r, and she was accidentally burned while doing so. The jury found the prisoner guilty of the whole charge contained in the indictment. The learned judge, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, said that in all his experience he did not remember any case where one human being ap peared to have acted with so much cruelty to another as she appeared to have acted towards this poor child. He therefore felt himself called upon to inflict the full punishment fixed by the law for such an offence, which was, that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three years. P OLI 00 INTEL LICENCE-Avy. 15. - GUILDHALL.—ROBBERY OF £2OO BY A BOY. —James Daniel O'Connell, about 15 years of age, in the employ of Messrs. Ridsdale and Co., solici tors, of '5, Gray's Inn-square, was charged before Alderman Abbiss with absconding with £2OO be longing to his masters. Mr. Francis J. Ridsdale said—The prisoner has been in our employ rather more than a year and a half. On Friday last I gave him, between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, the sum of £3OO in Bank of England notes to pay into Messrs. Childs' bank, at Temple-bar, to our account. There were seven notes in all, consisting of one for £lOO, No. 94,226 ; one for £5O, No. 34,526 ; one for £5O, No. 34,787 ; one for £5O, No. 34,600 ; one for £2O, No. 19,449 ; one for £2O, No. 58,561; and one for £lO, No. 34,446. I also gave him a cheque for £24 6s. 10d., making in all £324, 16s. 10d. He never re turned, and I have not seen him since until this morning. I gave him our bankers' pass-book at the same time with the money. Mr. Josiah Butler, clerk to Messrs. Child and Co., the bankers, said the prisoner came to our bank on Friday afternoon last, a little before five o'clock, and handed me the pass-book produced. He also gave me a Bank of England note for £5O, No. 34,526; two of £2O each, Nos. 19,449 and 58,561 ; one for £lO, No. 94,446 ; and a cheque for £24 16s. 10d. The amount of the notes he gave was entered on the back of the cheque, and, with the latter, made up the sum of £124 16s. 10d., which he paid into our bank to Messrs. Ridsdale's account, I entered the amount in the pass-book, and he then desired me to give him change for three bank notes, one for £lOO, No. 94,226 ; one for £5O, No. 34,600 ; and one for £5O, No. 34,787. I asked him how he would have it, and he said he would take £lOO in £lO notes, £5O in £5 notes, and £5O in sovereigns. I told him it was usual for customers to write their names on the back of the notes when they required change, and asked him why he had not done it, and he replied that it was all right, as they wanted change in the office. Before giving the change I referred to our senior clerk, who directed me to pay the prisoner if I knew him as coming from Messrs. Ridsdale's, and knowing the prisoner was in the habit of paying in money on account of Messrs. Ridsdale's firm, I gave him the change as he wished, consisting of ten £lO notes, Nos. 84,138 to 84,147, both inclusive; ten £5 notes, Nos. 79,338 to 79,347, both inclusive; and £5O in gold. He counted the notes, and remarked that there were only nine £lO notes. I told him he could not see, upon which he said he had something in his eye, and upon counting them a second time, he found them correct. A fashionably-attired young man, who declined the usual oath, on the plea that he was a member of the Society of Friends, declared in the prescribed form, and "solemnly and sincerely affirmed" that his name was Bowden, and said, the prisoner came to my father's shop on Friday afternoon, and pur chased some hosiery goods, which ho desired might be packed in a black leather bag. He asked per mission to change his shirt, for which purpose I took him up stairs to a room on the second floor. He gave me three sovereigns to pay for the articles he had bought, and when he came down stairs I gave him the change, which was 14s. 3d. I did not go into the room again until I received a letter from him on Monday last, dated from the Station Hotel, Hull, stating that he had leftbehind him a banker's pass-book, containing £5O in bank-notes, and re questing me to forward it to him without delay, as he had to pay the money away. He said in the let ter that he remembered hearing something drop, which he believed must have been the pass-book, which he said I would find under the looking-glass stand. I looked as he directed, and found the pass book, already produced, and in the pocket of it I found ten £5 notes, Nos. 79,338 to 79,347 inclusive. The prisoner also left behind him the things which he took off while changing his clothes, and he told he would send for them. I asked him his name, and, after some hesitation, he said it was Smith. Soon after I received the letter Hann, the officer, called, and I showed it to him. James Hann, a City officer, said—On receiving information of the robbery, I made inquiries, and ascertained that the prisoner was seen entering Mr Bowden's shop about five o'clock on Friday after noon, and on going there on Monday morning I saw the letter received from the prisoner. I imme diately telegraphed to Hull, directing the police there to apprehend the prisoner, and I wont down the same night and found the prisoner in custody. Mr. Ridsdale, jun., went down with me, and when he charged the prisoner with stealing £2OO, the latter said he was very sorry, but that he had no intention of stealing them when Mr. Ridsdale en trusted the notes to him. He said it never occurred ' to him to steal the notes until he got to the end of Chancery-lane. He then added that he paid in £lOO in notes and a cheque for £24 odd, and re ceived the change for the other notes as already described. He was searched by the Hull police, and seven £lO notes, £3B 43. 6d. in money, a silver watch (Frodsham's make), and a gold guard, a gold and cameo pin, a set of three gold and cameo studs, a meerschaum pipe, tobacco pouch, portemonnaie, and pocket-book were found upon, him, all of which he said were purchased with the proceeds of the robbery. Ili; being the whole of the evidence, Alderman Abbiss cautioned the prisoner, who had declined to cross-examine the witnesses, and asked him if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge ? The prisoner said he was very sorry. He had nothing to say but that he was guilty, and he hoped the things he had bought with the money he had stolen would be given up to the prosecutor. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. - CAUTION TO PAWNBROKERS.—Misses Ann and. Barbara Reeve, who carry on the business of pawn brokers in Redcross-street, were summoned for not complying with the Act of Parliament which re quires that the name and address of every person pledging prope r ty s h a ll b e l eg ibl y written upon the ticket referring to such property. Mr. Robert Beech said his object in laying the present complai n t was no t t o recover th e g oo d s . pledge, or for any other purpose timn the public good. The Act of Parliament had expressly pro vided that the address of every person pled g i ng property should a ppear on the ticket,. and that was the only check o r m e ans of tracing cases where the property had been stolen the parties pawning it. In . the present instance his housekeeper had been robbing him to a considerable extent, and although he had about a dozen tickets relating to property belonging to him which .. his housekeeper had pledged at the shop of the defendants, not one of those tickets had any written add ress upon it. At the earnest solicitation of the housek eeper he had been induced to forego prosecuting her but his duty to the public rendered it necessary that he should bring the matter under the notice of the magistrates, in order that the very wholesome provisions of the act of Parliament might be enforced. The foreman to the def en d ants said that the omission complained of was the result of careless ness on the part of the young man who had taken in the pledges. H e h a d b een repeatedly cautioned about it, and was HOW about to be discharged in consequence. Alderman Abbiss said—lf it had occurred in a single ticket only, he should have considered it was merely an accidental omission ; but, from the tickets produced, it appeared to him to be rather the rule than the exception. It was most important that the act of Parliament should be strictly en forced, otherwise there would be no check at all in the disposal of stolen property, or clue whereby to trace the persons pledging it. He therefore fined the defendant s 40 s. and costs, which was imme diately paid. HAM MERSMITH.—DOINGS IN THE.KITCIIEN. . —Sarah Hogsfiesh, a middle-aged woman, described as a cook, was placed in the dock before Mr. Ing ham, charged with robbing her master, Capt. Wm. Thomas Hall, of No. 5, Stanley crescent, Notting hill, under the following singular circumstances : Mr. Martin defended the prisoner. Abraham Goldsmith, footman in the service of Capt. Hall, stated that the prisoner had been cook in the same family for the last 12 months, and he had seen her take things, such as bread and meat, out of the house. Tier son had been in the habit of coming to the house to dinner. The last time was on Sunday week, and he then sat down to the • table with the rest of the servants. The cook carved for him and also for the rest. He had seen him there before, as many as a dozen times or more. Witness believed the prisoner did not inform her master or mistress of her son dining with them in the kitchen. The food he had seen her take out was sufficient for a reasonable person's dinner. He had seen her take it away once within the last fort night, and on two or three occasions before. He first told his master on Tuesday. He had had no quarrel with the cook. In cross-examination, the witness said on Tues• day he was called to reveal alt he knew of the pro ceedings in the kitchen. He had heard that the prisoner gave warning to leave on Monday week. The last time he saw her take food from the house was either on Thursday or Frid a y i n l ast week since she had g i ve n warning. William Scott, coachman to Capt. Hall, said he had seen the son dining in the kitchen frequently. It was pretty nearly every Sunday for some months past. He made a communication to his master on • . the 6th inst., the Monday after the prisoner's son dined with them on the Sunday. Witness was not aware at the time that the prisoner had given warn ing on that day. He informed his master because he fancied it was his ditty. He had left it alone for a considerable time to see if any other person would inform the captain. The prosecutor explained that his coachman told him on the Monday that he should have acquainted him on the Saturday before that things were going on very irregular in the house if he had had an opportunity. Maria May, one of the female servants, gave similar evidence, and added that some months ago the son slept in the house for several days, and had all his meals. At that time the family were out of town. In answer to questions from Mr. Martin, the wit ness said she never invited any one to dinner and tea, nor did any of the other servants, with the ex ception of the cook. Police - constableWoodbridge, of the T division, said that on Thursday last he received information that the cook was taking food out of the house, and he was instructed to watch her. On Saturday even ing, about ten minutes to eight o'clock, he saw her leave the house with something in her apron, and something in a handkerchief, which she carried in the other hand. He did not take her into custody on that occasion, as he was desirous of seeing where she went. She went a long way round to No. 27, Archer-street, Notting-hill, where she went in at the private door. He had seen her several times since, but not with anything in her possession. When he took her into custody she told him that she had given her boy different things, and had taken him a little lately, but she did not think there was any harm. Captain Hall said it was decidedly against his wish that the boy should have his meals in the house, and if he had been aware of it he shoiild have discharged her directly. Mrs. Hall engaged her, and when she first came they were not aware of her being married, or having a son. The reason the prisoner gave warning was in consequence of Mrs. Hall seeing the boy in the area on Sunday week, and telling the prisoner that she would not have her son sneaking about in the area. Mr. Martin said the prisoner had borne an excel lelent character in the situations she had previously held. Captain Hall presumed Mrs. Hall received a good character with e her, or she would not have en gaged her. Mr. Ingham remanded the prisoner for a week, for the attendance of Mrs. Hall, to state the terms of her engagement with the prisoner. Mr. Martin applied for bail, but his worship re fused to accept any. IN AUS TRALIA. (From Correspondent of Era.) MELBOURNE, June 18, 1860.—Melbourne is now, in a theatrical sense, doing better than it has ever yet done. When :the Wizard of the North wrote his experiences of the place it had but two theatres open, and only one, the Royal, doing good business. Two others have since been built, the Pantheon, in Cremorne, and the Prince of Wales, in Lonsdale street. The Pantheon is a summer theatre only. It has been well attended this summer, the railway bringing it within five minutes of Melbourne. By the way, the originator of Cremorne here and of Cremorne at Chelsea is on his way home to see you all again. James Ellis sails this month from Mel. bourne. He had a good benefit last week, and goes from us with kind wishes from all who know him. We have now open, and doing good business, the Royal, the Princess's, and the New Prince of Wales. The last-named is an American speculation, and a very creditable notion it is too. The stage is move able, and being taken up discloses a ready-made circus. Equestrian performances can thus be made part of the evening's entertainment. The Olympic Theatre is finally closed for theatrical business. Its proprietor (Coppin) is about to turn it to account for Turkish Baths, in which line it is to open in a week or so. The Princess's, formerly under Black's management, has passed into the hands of Mr. Brooke, who is now lessee both of this and of the Royal. The enterprising proprietors (Messrs. Spier:, and Pond) of the Cafe de Paris, at the Theatre Royal, have gone with Brooke to the Princess's, and given it a new face and a piazza, things that have greatly improved its exterior. Clarence Holt is stage-manager there, and is doing the melodra matic to fair houses. At the Prince of Wales's a mixed company are engaged, equestrian business alternating with singing and dancing, Worrell, Backus, and comically-vocal Johnson doing their different shares in the latter departments. Brooke has produced " Louis the Eleventh" lately at the Royal with success. It has been re vived this week on his return from the provinces. Previous to that good houses were drawn to the farewell performances of Mr. John Drew, the most erratic and the most scintillating of our Austral theatrical stars. He came with some slight reverberations of Californian fame to Sydney, where he " took" immensely—a success that he has repeated in every theatre in Aus tralia during the twelve or fourteen months that he has been here. An Irishman by birth, of American rearing, he has shown a talent for pour traying Irish character of a low class that has never before been equalled. His " Handy Andy" and " Irish Emigrant" are unique as specimens of studies of character. You will soon in London have an opportunity of seeing him, for he sails for England in the Dover Castle this month. As Melbourne is a little London, with all the fasti diousness that wealth and ease can give to its people, I predict a greater success for Drew in Lon don than that which he has had in Australia. His indefatigable agent, Mr. Bart Rees, who was agent also to Madame Anna Bishop when here, precedes Drew on the voyage home, going, as he will do, by the mail that brings this. Farquharson has been lately in Tasmania, with a small operatic company, including Sherwin, who came out with him under Black's management. They proceed, I believe, to California, where, from what I hear from Mr. Anderson (Wizard of the North) by this mail, they will be grievously disap pointed. As a theatrical country the Wizard puts Australia before California at five to one, and is kind enough to wish warning to be given to every one that might think of leaving the one place for the other. "Our digging townships," he says " have their forty, fifty, an d s i xty t h ousan d people, but those of California never more than four or five thousand—a tremendous falling-off. We expect to do great things here in a few months with a new gold field—the Snowy River, to which at least 50,000 will be off in the spring (about September). It is about 270 miles from Mel bourne, and within the boundary of the adjoining colony of New South Wales. Half-a-dozen theatres will go up, of course, and another digging city be added to the theatrical circuit." We shall want a " star" to succeed Drew. Mr. Brooke will be the only one left to us. He will never go. What a time he has been here. Talk is made of his departure now and then, and though he "often takes leave he seems loth to depart." He is an institution here now, and we shall be sorry to part with him. 'Tis something for our theatrical cha racter that we have kept Brooke, and Lambert (now in London), and Mungall, so many years amongst us. We are ready, with open arms, to receive and recognise all talent, and to appreciate and reward all true genius, find it when we may— we never find too much of it. Let theatricals know that Australia is in want of talent, and that there is room here, and rewards for all corners who have it. The majority of emigrants are unfortu nately the " neer do weels," who can do nothing at home, and, of course, just as much out here. If any one can do anything well, Australia is the country to do it in to the best profit. (From the Melbourne Argus of June 16.) Since the date of our last summary the theatrical world has been enlivened by the opening of a new house, the Prince of Wales Theatre, in Lonsdale street, which event took place on the evening of the Queen's birthday. The building was crammed to suffocation, and everything passed over satis factorily. The entertainments are for the pre sent principally equestrian and acrobatic, and have so far been patronised with liberality. The introduction of the drama, however, is mani festly desirable, b o th f or th e pu bli c and the pockets of the management, if the prosperity of the theatre is to continue; and it is rumoured a legitimate sea son will shortly be commenced, with Miss Avonia Jones, a young American tragedienne, as the reign ing star. The management of the theatre is in the hands of Mr. Worrell, decidedly a clever man, and an excellent clow n . Hi s c hild ren, genera lly known as " the W orre ll F am il y, " are t h ree j uve nile dan cers of ability, a n d hi g hl y popu l ar . At the Theatre Royal Mr. John Drew_ has played a " farewe l l" engagement w ith quite the average success, some of hi s au di e nces having been ve r y large. M r . B roo k e , a f ter a brief tour in the pro vinces during Mr. Drew's n ights, has returned, hi s presence on the stage seeming almost indispensabl e to the manaement. immediately as is to appear g as Gambia, in ''The slave, ,, which, they say, Will b 3 very spendidly put on the stage. Mrs. Alf re d Phillips, an artiste known public, took her b enef i t at favourably b ot h to the London houseand Melbourne a fcw, nights ago. Sh e selected " The Clandestine Marriage" and " The Ladi es ' Club " as the pieces,nco. Air. a nd was honoured with a large attend , and Mrs. Clarence Holt, who have done a much to maintain the interests of the Princess's past, are a b ou t t o l eave i t country. Mrs. Rol t had a com plimentary a Th e at r e for in m the tours benefit months given to her a few nights since, and was well received. Mr. Holt played Othello to Brooke's lago for one night at the Theatre Royal. The interest was great, and the theatre was full on the occasion. Holt played remarkably well, and he lago was a dramatic treat to all who witnessed it. The Princess's now depends chiefly upon the talents of a good stock company, among whom is Miss Fanny Young, a sister of Mr. and Mrs. C. Young, now in London ; Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Guerin, Mr. A. Stewart, and Messrs. Andrews, Fawcett, and Ryan, are leading members. On dit, that we are shortly to have equestrian spectacle, with Burton's troupe, at this theatre. If so, the Prince of Wales must be prepared for a dangerous competition. Whether three theatres can continue to pay long in Mel bourne is still a problem. The public here are rather capricious. Sometimes a run occurs for a good piece, and will last a fortnight or three weeks, and then there will be a thin attendance for a cor responding period. Opera is in nubibus, but is said to be flourishing at Sydney. Mr. Chas. White head, a gentleman known here as a theatrical oritic, and in England as the author of "Richard Savage," will take a benefit at the Princess's Theatre in the course of a week, which has been liberally granted for the occasion by Messrs. Edwards and Fawcett. COUNTRY MARK ETS. NEWARK-Au G. 15. Busines was rather animated, with a fair attendance. Wheat sold readily, at is per qr advance on former terms.
