2HE NAVY. The Duncan, 101, selow, at Portsmouth, has been removed from No. 7 dock in the steam basin, and the Immortalite, 51, screw, removed from the steam basin into the same dock. This latter vessel, since being placed in dock, has attracted a good deal of attention from the peculiar sharpness of her lines forward. Sir John Pak-;ngton, during the time he held office, stated in the House of Commons that the Melpomene, 51 (now at Si ithead), and the Immortalite, 51, were sister vessels n hull and machinery, but that the latter had some 14 or 16 feet added to her original lines forwar d, for the pur pose of ascertaining the amount of additional :peed gained by this extreme length of bow. The Princess Royal , 91, screw, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, has had . the whole of her stern planking removed, it having been found in a rotten state. The Sprightly,.paddle, Master-Commander Allen, has been taken into the basin to complete re pairs of damage caused by being fouled by the Ur gent. The Ithadarnanthus, paddle, Master-Com. Sturdee, has been taken into the steam basin to discharge boilers and machinery. The boilers which had been placed in the Immortalite, 51, screw, under the steam crane, have been taken out again, the platform having been found too high for them. The INlegcera, iron screw troopship, is in No. 8 dock, completing repairs at the hands of the steam fac tory. • The Bacchante, 51, screw, in the hands of the riggers, preparing for the steam reserve, in the steam basin at Portsmouth. has got topmasts on end, and is fast progressing in her outfit. The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander M. Bruce, has been placed in the steam basin at Portsmouth to make good defects. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam sloop Basilisk, Commander G. A. Phayre, from North America and the West Indies, arrived yesterday at Wool wich, to be stripped and paid off. The steam sloop Alecto yesterday went down the river in charge of Mr. Hall, of her Majesty's ship Fisgard, on trial of her machinery and boilers, after extensive repairs, and is now ready for commission. The Urgent screw steamer and troopship, which put into Falmouth onlVednesday through stress of weather, having on board the 24th Regiment of Foot, bound for Cork, sailed again from that road stead on Thursday afternoon; the wind having considerably abated. The Prussian screw corvette Areona, Capt. Sun dewald, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Dantzic for Japan, and exchanged the custo mary salutes with the military and naval authOri ties of the port. She has been detained in the Downs for several days owing to the heavy south west gales in the Channel. Messrs. Smith, contractors, have begun the lengthening of Nos. 1 and 5 building slips in Ports mouth yard. No. 1 slip, on which the Glasgow, 51, screw frigate, has been commenced, will be lengthened 55 feet ; and No. 5 slip, where has been commenced laying down the Royal Alfred, 91, screw, will be lengthened 20 feet. Both slips are to be finished in three months from the commence ment of the works. Commander J. S. W. Grundy, commanding her Majesty's steam coastguard tender, Argus, and Lieut. J. T. S. Winthrop, commanding her Ma jesty's coastguard tender Mermaid, have both re ceived promotion—the former to the rank of post captain, and the latter to commander. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. 13. A. F. Pater son, to the Cumberland; W. H. Parker, master, to the Emerald ; C. W. R. Ross, second master, to the Supply ; J.F. Kynsey, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Renown ; Dr. M. J. Rahilly, acting assistant- surgeon, :to the Gladiator ; M. M'Combie, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Imaum ; W. C. Fairbairn, assistant-surgeon, additional, to the Impregnable; S. Sweetman, assistant-surgeon, confirmed, to the Archer; and W. E. L. Veale, paymaster, additional, to the Wellington. THE ARMY. The non-commissioned officers and men of the Army Hospital Corps selected to proceed to China left headquarters yesterday morning and proceeded to Deptford to embark on hoard the screw steamer Melbourne for Hong Kong. The, second detach ment of the same corps, also about to be despatched to China, is expected to embark in the Mauriti u s on the 16th inst. During the temporai7 absence on leave of Col. R. N. Phillips from Chatham garrison, the com mand of the Second Depot Battalion has devolved on Major W. L. Stewart. Major C. Elgee has assumed the command of the Third Battalion during the absence of Lieut.-Col. C. E. Fairtlough. The second batch of 10 guns made in the rifled gun factories, Woolwich, was yesterday fired expe rimentally, with perfect success, in the presence of the authorities, who pronounced the proof extremely „satisfactory. The engagement to turn out for proof 20 guns per *eek has been thus far fulfilled to the letter, and, according to the progress of the arrange ments, there is no doubt that a similar number will be delivered over every week, notwithstanding the unfinished state of the factories, which, from the present appearance, are destined to form one of the most gigantic establishments in her Majesty's do minions. A large number of offices and buildings have been already demolished, and an immense area within the range of the factories has been appro priated to the department, on which foundations have been laid and buildings commenced, the walls of which are rising with astonishing rapidity. The export of ammunition, guns, shot, shell, waggons, smiths' forges, intrenching carts and tools, military clothing, harness, hospital and commissariat stores, provisions, &c., is proceeding with the utmost dill ,gence, an d every department throughout the Arsenal is engaged in preparations for the war with China. The splendid ship Khersonese, of 1,272 tons bur den, belonging to Messrs. George Duncan and Co., of London, yesterday arrived at the Arsenal-pier from Liverpool, under engagement to her Majesty's Government for China. She experienced some very severe weather off the coast, The ship has not, however, sustained the slightest damage, and is perfectly ready to commence her embarkation hn mediately. The Khersonese is the seventh transport taken up in the Ciiina service, and, as at present stated, she will take out a number of Royal Ma rines, as well as stores for war. She was engaged in a 6imilar service to Judie, and has also been em ployed on the Worth American line as a passenger ship. llcr cabin accommodationis of a very supe rior class, having a large number of airy berths on deck, as well as a spacious and well-appointed sa loon, sufficient for 700 or 800 passengers. She is expected to be ready for sea before the end of the month, as no alteration or repeirs are considered necessary. CAPTURES OF .51_,4VERS. Letters from the East coast of Africa, via Bom bay, state that her Majesty's steam sloop Lynx, 5 guns, Licut.-Commandant H. Berkeley, had cap tured. two slavers. One of them, a dhow of 160 tons, was chased by the boats of the Lynx, in the river Angora, and the Arab crew caused the slaves, in number 200, to quit the ship with them. On the boats of the Lynx, commanded by the lieutenant in person, boarding the dhow, her crew opened a fire upon her from the mangrove bushes on shore, but she was taken up the river and scuttled. The se cond slaver was a dhow containing 70 slaves, and these were taken, but the dhow was burnt. At Zanzibar, the Lynx found the-steam frigate Assaye, of the Indian navy, and the Sultan's brother in arms and in . open rebellion. The Sultan was get ting the worst of it when the English ,officers from the Lynx and the Assaye lent their assistance in attacking a fortified house in which the rebel brother was ensconced, putting the Sultan's guns in position, and serving them under a very heavy fire, finally driving the rebels out of the stronghold. On tue followay day, by requisition from the British consul, 100 men from the Assaye, and 47 from the Li:n rc x . , e landed with a howitzer and rockets, and d up the country under command of Lieut, r h e e r m Ke s t e o l y ve ; s lalitthe rebels retreated, and lodged re-embarked the town of Zanzibar. The detach mentceeded to the towng,iniannn board the ' Lynx, which prc d came to an anchor, with the muzzles of her windows, and then landed grinning l in at the rebels' Cained the men. Syed Burg hash, the rebel, then l forth, and threw down his arms. Subsequent' for life, the Sultan beij ie 1" been transported to take his life. The British Consul; Captain Rigby, was commis sioned to express the Sultan'sa letter y of w b hich must addressed to Lieut. Berkeley in a way in be highly gratifying to the officer: We quote, in conclusion, one expression conspicuous gallantry of yourself and seve;7-" Thy officers of her Majesty's ships Lynx and Assayeloun is remaining for several hours under a heavy f re, serving the guns and. rockets in advance of nil Saltan's troops, is talked of with admiration by all classes, and has greatly raised the prestige of the British name among the people here." The loss of the Sultan's forces was 100 killed; of the rebel force 40, mostly by the guns and rockets.

MANSION-HOUSE.—John Skinner, of Shaftes bury-street, Walworth, tarpaulin maker, was brought up for final examination upon a charge of having obtained canvas and money to tho amount of 1114 from Mr. J. B. Chalmers, of Leadenhall street, by false pretences. Mr. Salter appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphreys for the defence. Previously it had been shown that the prisoner in July last represented to the prosecutor that he had obtained an order from Mr. Walker,' store keeper to the London and Brighton Railway Com pany, for 50 tarpaulin covers, at 575. each, and that upon his -faith in that representation the latter agreed to take the job off his hands, by finding him the necessary canvas, arkl paying him 16s. each, to make into tarpaulin sheets; that the prisoner from time to time drew the amount for making up 49 sheets, which he said he delivered, and that subse quently the prosecutor discovered that no order had been given in July, and no goods delivered. Mr. Walker, storekeeper to the London and Brighton Railway Company, now deposed that he had given the prisoner three orders for tarpaulin sheets at different times, but no order in July for 50 sheets. In April he gave him.an order for two dozen sheets, which were completed and paid for in the course of May, and in November he gave an order in consequence of receiving an application from the prisoner, to whom the goods were delivered in on the 6th December. Mr. Chalmers'was re-examined and said—After I had ascertained that no order had been given in July, I went to the prisoner and told him I wanted him to go with me to see Mr. Walker, upon which he said he could not go then, but he would go next morning at ten o'clock. I told him that would nat do, he must go at once, and then he began to cry. I asked him what he had been doing, and he told me that he had not delivered the sheets as he had before said, and that he could not give me an account of them, as he had sold most of them for a mere nothing, but he said he hoped I would not prosecute him, and that if I would find canvas he would work it out by making up sheets without charge. The prisoner was committed for trial, reserving his defence. Mary Heidenmeich, a decent locking, middle aged woman, was charged with having deserted her four children, and left them chargeable upon the parish of St. Katharine Cree. Upon behalf of the parish authorities it was shown that in July, 1857, the prisoner, who was a widow at the time, obtained an order for the admis sion of herself and four children—two being legiti mate and two illegitimate—into the City of London Union, upon which she gave the order to a neigh bour, and absconded, leavinr , her children to be taken to the Union, where they had remained for the last two years and a half, without her giving any clue to her whereabouts. Recently, however, she was accidentally discovered, and was given into custody. The prisoner admitted the desertion, but said she found her children must starve unless they went into the house, and therefore zhe obtained the order fcr admission ; but that she could not bring herself to go in with them, and therefore left them, knowing they would be looked after by her neigh bours. An officer said her husband was in court. Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—Husband! Has she married again, then ? Prisoner—Yes, sir, about four months ago. Officer—The husband is a German tailor, and cannot speak much English. Lord Mayor—Well, let him stand forward. A respectably-dressed man therefore stepped into the witness box, holding by the hand a child about two years old, and said—That woman is my wife ; I marry her four months. Mr. Goodman—Do you know you are liable for the maintenance of all the children ? Husband—l no know it, but some people tell me so. Mr. Goodman—Well, you are legally liable, and although you may have made a bad bargain the law will require you to keep to it. Did you know she had four children ? Husband—Oh, yes ; she tell me four, and I pro mise to get them all out of workhouse for her, but I misfortunate and ill, and so not able to do so yet, but now will do my best for her and for them. The child I have here is her child also and mine. Mr. Goodman—Then that must bo illegitimate also. However, as you are willing to take the chil dren out of the house, I suppose the parish oacers will withdraw front the prosecution. The husband then gave the required undertaking, and his wife was discharged. BOW-STREET.—A very smartly-dressed young man, named John Brown, enveloped in a Talma of the most ample dimensions, and wearing a neatly trimmed moustache and imperial, was charged with stealing a watch from the person of Mr. Hughes (a gentleman from the country), in the passage of the pit entrance at Drury-lane Theatre. Sergeant Holmes, of the F diyision, deposed that he was on duty at the pit entrance when the doors were opened on Thursday evening. There was as usual a very great crowd. He saw the prisoner several times go partly in with the crowd and then gradually back his way out, and knowing from long experience what was the meaning of that manoeuvre, he determined to watch the prisoner. Presently the prisoner, while attempting to back out, was carried away in spite of himself, by the force of the crowd. Witness then went round to the box en trance, and passed through the lobby to the pit pay place, so as to meet the crowd. Ho then saw the prisoner coming along with the crowd. He was side by side with the prosecutor, against whom he was pressing in such a manner as to pin his arm to his 'side. Witness could not see his hands, which were, covered by the folds of his Talma, but from the general position he had no doubt that the pri soner was " working" at the prosecutor's watch. As they had nearly reached the pay place, he saw the gentleman's chain fall loose and the prisoner dexterously spring on on© side, so that if Mr. Hughes had turned round to seize the person who had been pressing him, he would most probably have caught hold of a person who had been behind the prisoner, and who was pressed forward into his place the moment he quitted it. Bat at the moment when he exented this little feat witness, who was Waiting. for him, seized him by .the collar, and dragged- him into the side passage. His object in doing this was to prevent the prisoner from jerking the watch over the heads of the people behind him into the street. The prisoner, however, dropped it on the ground and it was picked up and identified by Mr. Hughes. The prisober was not known. Mr. Hughes said be was so pressed in the crowd that he could not ge t hi s hand to his pocket' to feel for his watch, though he tried to do so several times. At the moment when the prisoner, so pressing him, left his side_ he felt for his watch and found it was gone. The prisoner cross-examined both witnesses at length, and with much ingenuity, but filled to shake their testimony. He sai:= he was a watch maker, and had come to town from Edinburgh in search of work. , Mr. Henry committed him for trial. WESTMINSTER—Robcrt Marshall, a big, powerful fellow, was charged with committing the following assaults : Thomas Vine said he was a s si s t an t to his brother, who kept tailors' trimming shops at 19, Tothill street, and 22, Dartmouth-street, Westminster. He was in the latter place the previous afternoon, when he heard loud screams and cries of " murder" upstairs. Complainant immediately went up stairs, and learned that the defendant, a total strang e ; had forced his way into the room of one of the lodgers, and assaulted her. Complainant requested him to he quiet, when he put himself in a fighting attitude, and, following the witness down stairs, struck him a Violent blow on the mouth, without the slightest provocation having been offered him. Complainant then procured the assistance of a po liceman, and gave bins into custody. Selina Ann Ellis, the wife of a tailor, a very re spectable-looking woman, who exhibited a severe black-eve, said she lived at 22, Dartmouth-street and knew the defendant, who had lodged with her Sister, and he repeatedly came to annoy her and her' sister. Mr. Arnold—What for ? Witness—l cannot say, lam sure. fir.Arnold—Oh ! nonsense; there must h e s ome reason. 1V Mr. t neArnold—What s — l suppose diti h to annoy d an o noyyesuteida us, that's all. lVitnesson—eHroeocma,thaen there d to see my sister, who occupied another. Mr. Arnold—Does he ever threaten you when he comes ? :Witness Yes ; he threatened to knock my head off, and also my nose. Mr. Arnold.—Well, if he knocks your head off, your nose will probably go with it. Witness—Well, he carne to see my sister, and meeting her on the stairs forcedher up again. She went into witness's room. He tried to force his way into her room, and she would not let him, as she never did ; and while trying to keep him out, he put his hand inside, and struck her violently in the eye. He then got into the room, knocked both her and her sister down, the latter twice, and then held witness round the th roa t b y one hand while be "punched" her repeatedly about the head and face. He then went down stairs, and she saw him assault Mr. Vine: Mary Ann Butler, sister to last witness, said she was married, and her husband was a baker. De- fendant was an intimate friend of her husband ; a " respected friend" he called himself, and he knew that her husband was away. He came to 22, Dart raouth-street: yesterday, and because she and her sister would not allow him to come into their apart ments, he attacked her sister in the brutal manner described, just as though he were fighting a man of'his own size. Mr. Arnold—Did he strike you at all ? Witness—Yes ; he knocked me down twice. Mr. Arnold—Had he ever assaulted you before ? Witness—No; but he has annoyed me many times. Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—What have you to say D efendant (sullenly)—Nothing at all. Mr. Arnold—There seems to be some mystery about the case. Have you no explanation to give ? Defendant—Selina scratched my face before I touched her. Mr. Arnold—ls this true ? Mrs. Ellis—No; if I ever touched him it must have been while he was ill-treating me. Mr. Arnold—He calls you Selina, and therefore seems to know you very well. Has he ever been into your room, or do you know him at all ? Mrs. Ellis—There is not the slightest intimacy between us, and I never on arty occasion allowed him to enter my apartments. He has threatened me Many times before this. . Mr: Arnold ssid this was a case he hardly knew what to do with, as it seemed there was some fact which had not come out; but, according to the evi dence before him, there appeared to have been ex cessive brutality used towards the women and Mr. Vine by the defendant, who had forced his way into a place where he had no business to be. Defendant—l was there ten minutes before all this occurred: On Mr. Arnold inquiring how this was; Mrs. Butler said he had been in her room' about ten minutes. He was then drunk, and going out came in again much worse, when she determined that he should not enter her room again. He frequently visited her husband, with whom he was on very good terms. Mr. Arnold supposed that having become very much intoxicated he committed the assaults because the women did not want his company. His con• duct had been very savage, and he should commit him for two months for assaulting the women, and fine him 505., or send him for another month, for the attack upon Mr. Vine. After being removed to the cells, the defendant said he wanted to make a statement, but the par ties beim' , gone, and Mr. Arnold having some slight doubt about the matter, the accused was remanded. SOUTHWARK.—Susan Searle, a middle-aged, respectable-looking female, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with attempting to commit self murder by taking a quantity of laudanum. Lewenden, police-constable 228 M, said that on Monday morning last he was on duty in the Black friars-road, when he was called to No. 13, Great Charlotte-street, and there he saw the prisoner in an insensible state, and the landlady told him that she had taken laudanum. He instantly conveyed her in a cab to the hospital, where the, stomach pump was used, and after administering restora tives' her senses returned, but she had remained in the hospital since, and was now in a weak condi tion. Mr. Combo asked what she was. The constable replied that she was a respectable married woman, and lived with her husband at No. 13, Great Charlotte-street. He understood that she had taken three pennyworth of laudanum, purchased at different chemists' shops. The lAndlady of the house here stepped forward, rnd said that prisoner's husband was a smith, and went to work very early. She believed that they had some words together, and that occasioned her to take the laudanum. Mr. Combe inquired if her husband way: in court ? The constable replied that he was not. He did not wish to attend. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she was very sorry for it, and would never attempt. such an act again. Mr. Combo told her that she had done very rashly, and had had a narrow escape of her life. He should remand her to gaol for a few days, so that she might have the advice and attention of the clergyman and the medical officer. When she came up again her husband had better be present. THAMES. Auguste Gustave Gilson, alias Waston, alias Wastone, alias Gibson, aged 27, was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, and Ed ward llettord, alias Do Hatforcl, aged 30, for the first time, charged with conspiring to defraud a Brussels artist, named Schendell, of three pictures, and obtaining one of them, Value 6,000 francs, by false and fraudulent pretences. Mr. Lewis, senior, of Ely-place, solicitor, again conducted the prosecution for Messrs. Bevan and Whitting, solicitors, 6, Old Jewry, who were in structed by the English Vice-Consul at Brussels. M. Louis Prevot was sworn interpreter. The pri soners were undefended. Mr. Lewis; in re-opening the case, said that, owing to the report of the first examination of the prisoner Gilson which appeared in the newspapers, the picture of which the Belgian artist was de frauded had been recovered, and was now in the hands of the police. The noble Lord de Hatfort, who patronised the artist, and order* the picture to be sent to England, was now before the magis trate (a laugh), and his title had been so recently' conferred upon him that he did not know how to sign his name, and had repeated it on paper and: practised it over and over again. The noble lord, as would be perceived by the police-sheet, had given the name of Edward Ketford, but in the let ters he had addressed to the artist he called him self De Hatford, and De Hadford, and Dee Hatford. He would prove that the prisoner, who had repre sented himself as a rich English peer, and a con noisseur in the fine arts, had gone by the name of 'Edouard,. Anderson, Collins, and others, and that he had once an office at No. 29, St. Mary-at-Hill, and that he had liVed in Bouverie-street, and Ten nison-street, Lambeth. Hetford had also cards de scribing himself as an importer and general mer chant, of 63, Broadway, New York, trading under the name of Anderson and Co , a piece of informa tion which might prove very serviceable to our friends on the other side of the Atlantic. With re gard to the charge against the two, he would show a case of com p licity so obvious that he believed the magistrate would have no hesitation in commit ting both for trial for conspiracy. At the lodgings of the prisoner Gilson a bill of lading for the pic ture, a letter from the artist, and a letter of ads, - ice, were found in his, portmanteau. The landlady of the house in Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, where Hatfort, the soi-disant nobleman, deposited the pic ture, had written to all the parties concerned, and they all met in one place. Translations of the letters sent to the artist by the prisoners, one as Lord De Hetfort, and the other as a commission agent, and the letters written by the artist in re turn, had been made by Mr. Samuel Brown, and they would be put in. The originals would also be produced. A duplicate of one letter addressed to M. Sehendell by Hetford was found in the pocket book of the prisoner, and pencil notes or drafts of the letters written by Gilson, and - signed by Was tom!, were found in his possession. In addition he might say that Wastone, alias Auguste Gustare Gilson, was tried in the latter name, or rather names, at the Tribunal in Brussels, in the early part of De cember last, for forgery, and, in default of appear-, ing, was sentenced to five years' imprisopment and hard labour, and six months additional in case of non-payment of costs. It was no wonder that Gil son had adopted the name of Wastone in his corres pondence with the artist of Brussels, where he was so well known. The evidence taken on Saturday last was read by Mr. Rowdier, the second clerk, and translated to the prisoner. Gilson was arrested on Friday night at a respectable toffee-house, N 0.34, Brewer-street, Golden-square, where he was in the practice of calling for letters addressed to him in the name of Wastone. He then said he acted for Wastone, of No. 29A,St. Mary -at. Hill, Thames-street, but gave a very incorrect description of the room which ho said Wastone occupied there, and which turned out to be let to a tailor. Gilson also represented Wastone to be a-dealer in all sorts of goods. Mr. Rowdier, the second clerk, asked the name of the new prisoner called in the police-sheet Ed ward Hetford, and he wrote on a slip of paper Eugene Charles Edouard. Evidence having been given as to the arrest of Edouard, and of the facts stated by Mr. Lewis, Pierre Von Schendell, an artist, of Brussels, wbo gave his evidence in the French language, said--I received the four letters produced, marked C, P, E, and F, from the prisoners. Hero is another One: In consequence of the receipt of these five letters I sent over those photographs of paintings. This (producing a large photograph) is one, and the sub ject is "The Visit to the Infant Saviour." The picture which I sent to England to Lord de Hat lord, and for which he was to . pay me 6,000 frnucs, was the " General in Retirement." Here is a pho tograph of that. The third Photograph was a marine view. 'T sent over the original of the " General in Retirement" to Lord de flatford, but I have not received 6,000 francs or any part of it. If I had known Edouard was not Lord de Hatford I would not have sent the picture to Englnnd. Mr. Levis—Yogi put full confidence hin ti noble lord? _ - Witness—Yes, I thought, I was dealing with an honourable English nobleman. Mr. Selfe , said-hc perceived by the correspondence between the parties that the picture (tableau) was to come to England at the artist's risk and expense. If the picture was lost before it came to England at whose risk must it have been ? The pretended noble lord said ho would not be at any risk, and would not pay the artist until the picture arrived safely in England. The 4oble lord would not pay until two days after the arrival, and if damaged he would pay the expenses of freight back to Bel gium. Mr. LeWis—lf the picture had been damaged on its passage from Ostend to London the General Steam Navigation Company, in whose charge it was, would have to make good the loss. The picture was the artist's up to the moment of sending it - away. Mr. Selfe—lf that is so there is an end of the charge of obtaining the picture by false pretences, and I can only commit for' conspiracy. Mr. Lewis said in that case he could not indict for conspiracy without the leave of the superior court. Mr. Selfe—Then you must get leave of the court. M. Schendell said he had seen his picture in the possession of Spittle, the officer. He had been re• gularly swindled out of it. Mr. Selfe—The prosecutor has told me in French he wishes to avoid all further expense, and take his picture away and abandon the case. Mr. Lewis could not allow such a course to be adopted. Messrs. Bevan and Co., who were repre sented by Mr. Samuel Bevan, had taken action in this matter by direction of the British Ambassador, and if the prosecution was abandoned, Mr. Samuel Bevan, and all other parties, would be liable to actions for false imprisonment. Mr. Selfe requested M. Prevot, the interpreter, to inform M. Schendell he might be off to Brussels that night and come back at the end of a month, but he could not have his picture until after the trial. Mr. Samuel Bevan—lt is in the possession of Spittle, the detective officer. Mr. Selfe—The prosecutor wants to have an op. portunity of exhibiting his picture to real lords and ladies. - Spittle—Ho can exhibit his picture to whom he thinks proper. It is in a large room at Inspector Hamilton's office. Mr. Selfe—This examination will give the " Ge neral in Retirement" additional interest. The prisoners declined asking any questions o: the witnesses, or making any . deknce, and Mr. Selfe committed them to Newgate for tria: for conspiracy. - - - METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Mr. BENNETT seconded the motion. Mr. CARMAEL moved the " previous question," which was carried by a majority of 13 to 6. The motion was accordingly lost. Mr. LESLIE gave notice that on next Friday he would renew this motion, and if necessary on every successive Friday until it should be carried, and also his motion relative to altertng the bye-laws of the board relating to the "previous question." (Hear, hear, and Oh, oh !) THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE DWELLINGS OF THE POOR. A communication was received from the White chapel Board of Works, calling attention to cer tain premises now in the course of erection at the rear of Nos. 80 and 81, on the north side of High street, Whitechapel. It was the intention of the person :erecting the premises in question to con struct three houses, hi which it was probable that not less than '72 persons would reside. The site selected was a pent up cul-de-sac ' with a covered entrance to High-street, Whitcehapel, only 5 feet wide, decreasing in iidth to 2 feet 10 inches, and the height only 8 feet 6 inches. - The notice went on to state that the board viewed with the most serious apprehension this system of constructing dwelling-houses for the poor, as subversive of the great end to be accomplished in sanitary regula tions, and earnestly requested the Board of - Works to cause a special inquiry to be instituted into the matter. The matter was referred to the superintending architect to report upon. THE ORDNANCE SURVEY OF LONDON. A report was brought up from the Main Drain age Committee, "on the arrangements entered into by the committee with the Treasury for the settle ment of the claim for the Ordnance Survey of Lon don." The report stated that the committee had communicated with the War Department, and ar ranged with them that all claims against the Board of Works should be settled by the payment of £lO,OOO. The War Department was to take the plates of the maps, and vestries were to be supplied at a cost only equivalent to their cost to the go vernment, namely, I.s. per sheet. The original claim had been £24,212 17s. Bd., so that by the present arrangement the ratepayers would benefit by it to the extent of 14,212 178.8 d. It was also recommended that it should be paid out of the main drainage funds. After a short discussion the report was adopted. The routine business having been disposed of, the board adjourned. THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY. It will be remembered that a meeting of share holders in this company was held on the 13th of , last month, to decide upon a course of action against the board of directors, and which after considerable discussion without any practical, result, was ad journed until the 6th January, five days previous to the special meeting summoned by the board, which had also been adjourned by advertisement from the 15th December to the 11th of January. Accordingly Mr. Alderman Hodgson, who was the chairman ef the previous meeting after Mr. Guedalla vacated the post, in consequence of his not being able to carry the meeting wholly -with him, and at whose sugges tion the adjournment took place, and some half dozen other shareholders, including Mr.• Webber, and Mr. G. Taylor, who had given notice of resolu tions to be moved at the special general meeting adverse to the existing limn a gement, attended yester day at the London Tavern, but were informed, on inquirkig, that no room had been engaged, and that no ayeangements had been made for their reception. It was explained that within the last few days Mr. Guedalla had inserted an advertisement in the Daily News, inviting the shareholders who attended on the 13th ult. to meet him on the sth instead of the 6th of the present month, and that in conse quence three or four gentlemen had assembled on the previous day, but that Mr. Cluodalla:.was not present, and that nothing was done. On the present occasion the half-dozen share holders who attended formed themselves into a friendly conference committee to talk over the posi tion of affairs in a social rather than in a formal busi ness spirit, and in the course of th* conversation that ensued, Mr. Alderman Hodgson, who explained that he had come from Birmingham to be present as an act of courtesy which he thought due to those who had adopted his proposal for the adjournment, stated that a correspondence) had been opened by the (Erecters with him since the mectin; in Decem ber, the result of which was an offer from the board to submit all the books, accounts, and all matters connected with the management . of the company to a committee of four gentlemen, viz., Mr. Hope, Mr. Baker, Mr. Miles, and himself. He - further inti mated that as the board had thus conceded all that he could fairly ask of them as a first step, viz., a full investigation, lie could not in justice, supposing the offer fairly carried out, join in any resolution of a decidedly condemnatory character, such as the no confidence vote, which was involved in Mr. Web bees notice of motion, until the result of the in quiry was ascertained. Mr. Miles had declined to tact on the committee, but the other gentlemen were ready to proceed, and it had been suggested that the investigation should be commenced as last Tuesday. O further consideration, however, it was thought there would not be time to go through with an examination so complicated and extensive between that and the meeting called for the 11th, and that it would be better therefore to defer it. At the same time Mr. Hodgson added that he should probably, in conjunction with Mr. Baker, make such inquiries as might be necessary, to enable him better to understand the accounts when they were called upon to confirm the directors' report at the general meeting, which was to ba2ielcl on the same day as the special meeting. Although there was some difference of opinion as to the policy of meeting the directors' report with a direct resolution of want of confidence, all ap• peared to .agree that 'A° give satisfaction to the . general body of iharelrolders - and - to the public, it was absolutely necessary that the managing three . tor (Mr. Campbell) should retire, —Daily News.
