THE NAVY. An Admiralty - order has arrived at Sheerness to send the Waterloo fla gship round to Portsmouth for the purpose of being converted into a screw line-of-battle ship of two decks. The Admiralty have for the present stopped the entry of sea apprentices. Lar g e numbers of boys are daily applying on board the Waterloo for entry. In many instances a number of fine stout lads arc thrown on the parish for want of means to return to their homes. The Formidable, 84 guns, Captain-Superintend ent J. C. Fitzgerald, guardship of ordinary at Sheer ness is now fully equipped , and if needed for im e - mediate active service, woul d only require to b manned and to h&s;e her ammunition and victual ling. stores stowed away. The Formidable is ad mitted to be the smartest -rigged line-of-battle ship in the -port. On Thursday evening last Edward Coultrip 'And John llodge, established labourers, of 14, A . per week, the former having four years, and tie latter 12 -s-rears' servitude, were stopped at the yard gat?, by policeman Devcraux, and on being searched each man.had two long thin canvas bags full of copper and metal. The bags are most ingeniously made, so to fit inside the leg parts of their kneeboots. Counrip's house was afterwards searched, and there was found a quantity of canvas, fearnought flannel, roper roping twine, and metal, all being the pro perty of her Majesty. Nothing was found in llodgo's house. The two men were yesterday brought before Mr. J. K. Martyn, Master-Attendant (Acting ;:uperintendent) and after some preliminary examination were remanded until Monday next. Mr. M..gxon, who has obtained the contract for reconstruct:ng the leeward batteries at Sheerness, has arrived,: .and the works are to be taken in hand forthwith. THE ARMY. The second detachment of the corps of the Royal Engineers under 0,-ders to proceed to British Columbia, which left head-quarters, Chatham, on Thursday morning, pan barked yesterday at South ampton, and will proceed by the overland route to their destination. The of g.cer in charge of the de tachment is Captain J. M. Grant, R.E. The re mainder of the expedition, to the number of 128 non-commissioned officers and men, under the com mand of Captain H. R. Luard, received orders yesterday to embark at Gravesend, on 'Wednesday next, on board the Thames City. Lieut. F. Hime and a detachment of 30 non-com missioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers received orders yesterday to leave Brompton Bar racks this morning for Southampton, where they will embark on board the Indus steamer, and pro ceed overland to Calcutta, for the purpose of aug menting the 4th and 23d companies of Royal Sappers and Miners now serving ,in India. The Hon. Council of India have given notice that tonnage will be required for the conveyance of the following reinforcements of cavalry and infantry troops, which the authorities at the Horse Guards have decided on despatching to India—viz., 300 men of all ranks to embark at Gravesend, for Cal cutta, on the 7th of Oct. ; 270 men to embark at Cork, for Calcutta, on the 9th of Oct. ; and 90 men to embark at Gravesend, for Calcutta, on the sth of Oct. The following vessels have been already taken up by the Government for the conveyance of troops and stores to India :—Persian, 1,069 tons ; Athenais, 1,016 tons; and Kennington, 925 tons, for Bombay; Arethusa, 942 tons; and Gwalior, 404 tons, for Calcutta ; Janet Willis, 666 tons, for Madras. The Secretary of State for War, with his staff, made an official visit of inspection to Plymouth citadel on Thursday morning. He was accompa nied by Colonel H. Pester (Royal Artillery), and Lieut.-Colonel W. G. Hamley, Royal Engineers, and was received by. Lieut.-Colonel H. D. Crofton (17th Regiment) and Lieut.-Colonel E. W. Scovell, of the 96th. General Peel examined very closely the condition of the barracks and the apartments of the soldiers—those in the casemates especially, and inquired into the sanitary condition of the men. Similar inspections have been made at Devonport. The pubhcity already given in The Sun to the ex traordinay measures recently adopted by the War Department, relative to the barrack accommoda tion of the 2d class staff sergeants of the Royal Artillery, has drawn the serious attention of the commanding officers of battalions at head-quarters, Woolwich, to the subject, the result of which is, that the instructions were yesterday to be held in abeyance. The whole of the quarters have been carefully visited by the respective colonels, adju tants, and quartermasters of the 14 battalions sta tioned in garrison, who were amazed, as they pro ceeded in their inspection, at the scanty and most inappropriate accommodation marked out, which they found in many cases barely consisted of one square foot to each individual for all the purposes of eating, drinking, sleeping, washing, cooking, and other domestic uses, all of which have to be performed in common, and under the unsheltered gaze of some 12 or 14 persons of both sexes, as in many cases the allotted quarters are even without a screen or any kind of separation. This has been pointed out as a complete violation of the regula tion issued in 1851 " to remedy the nuisance of en- cumbering common sleeiroo . ' ms," which orders that " two children under 10 years of age shall be counted as one lodger ; that each room occupied as a sleeping room shall be furnished with bed steads, and sufficient accommodation for every per son received in such room ; that rooms used as kitchen or scullery shall not be occupied as sleeping rooms ; that persons of different sexes shall not oc cupy the same sleeping room, except married couples or parents with their children, under 10 years of age, or any children under 10 years of age ; that more than one married couple shall not occupy the same sleeping room, unless the beds are sepa rated by a partition of vood or other solid mate rial, and of such height as shall be fixed in each case by some officer duly appointed for such pur pose, &e." A number of the artisans of Woolwich Arsenal yesterday assembled at the Mortar Tavern for the purpose of inspecting a variety of designs, and ap proving a model;for the column about to be erected in the burial ground to the memory of Mr. Francis Pellatt. their late principal military storekeeper. The model said to have been selected consists of a column of Portland stone, surmounted by a funeral urn, bearing a garland of immortelles. The column will be 14 feet in height, and will stand on a pedestal containing four panels of Sicilian marble. INDIAN DESPATCHES. The Gazette of last night contains a great num ber of papers and despatches (in all 71) relating to the recent operation s o f our t roo p s in India, which have just been received by the Secretary of State. Nos. 1 and 2 narrate the operations which resulted in the capture of Charbagh by . a. Goorkha force under Major Walsh, who speaks in the highest terms of the enduring fortitude displayed by his men . under a heavy fire. Nos. 3,4, and 5 referto the operations of the Shahjehanpore Field Force under Brigadier Jones, and in No. 6 Lieut.-Col. Taylor, in command of a division of it, relates the capture and destruction of Shadabad, which was effected without the loss of a single man, the enemy having taken themselves off with their usual rapidity, as soon as Lieut.-Col. Toomb's guns got within range. No. 9is a long despatch from Sir Hugh Rose, describing the defeat of the rebel force which attempted to bar his way to Calpee at Icoonch. Though the position was a strong one, and defended by strong batteries, the engagement, as usual, was short and decisive ; but the retreat of the rebels seems to have been conducted with more ge. Sir H ug h R ose than ordinary skill and coura says : " If, on the one hand, the enemy had retired from Koonch with too great precipitation, on the other, it is fair to say that they commenced their retreat across the plain with resolution and intelligence. The line of skirmishQrs fought well to protect the retreat of the main body, observing the rules of light infantry drill. When charged, they threw a.side their muskets and fought desperately with their swords." The moral effect of this victory appears to have been very great, and had wellnigh terminated the campaign. Sir 11. Rose thus writes " The defeat at Koonch gave rise to animosities and mistrust in the rebel army. The infantry sepoys accused their brother mutineer s o f th e cavalry w ith having, pusillanimously abandoned them ; and all three arms brought the same charge against their general, Tantia Topee, who had dis appeared at Koonch as rapidly as he had done at Betwa, leaving to its fate at the most critical moment the force which he had called into existence under the pompous title of the Army of the Peishwa.' " The Velaities also were charged with not hav ing exhited at Koonch the stern courage on which they pride themselves ; they were accused with having left the field too soon, and their excuse, that they had felt it their duty to escort the Rance of Jhansi to a place of safety, was not held to be a military one. It was said that the destruction of Velaities at Jhansi had made their countrymen less anxious than usual to try the fate of war. These various causes created confusion in the councils of the Calpee mutineers ; my immediate advance to wards that fortress made matters worse ; a panic seized the sepoys in Calpee, as well as those retreat ing towards it ; they commenced to take different lines of retreat ; and I was assured, on good autho rity, that at one time there were only eleven sepoys in the town and fort. The unexpected 'arrival. of the Nawab of T Janda with a large force of good sepoy cavalry riutineers, some guns, and infantry, and his energ( ,tic exertions, backed up by those of the Ranee of Jhansi, produced one of those sudden changes fro! n despair to confidence which mark the Indian chweact er. The list of •casualties appended to ais despatch states that, - while 2 officers and 24 men were wounded in this engagement, 3 officers and 43 rank and file were sunstruck. Six brass guns and three iron guns, with a la-ege quantity of ordnance stores, were the spoils of the victors. Nos. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 tell s how Lieutenant Aynstey, with a troop of the 'Oth Madras Cavalry, encountered and totally re ated a body of 600 rebels at Kurnapore, and in 2:0, 21, and 23 are narrated the operations of Brig•adi cr Douglas, of the Azimghnr Field Force, for intercepting the enemy in the vicinity of Buxar. Nos, 24 and 37 relate to the operations of the Y-amptee Moveable Column, under Colonel Millar, from August, 1857, to January, 1858, in the Saugor and Nerbuddah territory. Col. Miller thus sums up the achievements of the column in that time : " Though it did not fall to the lot of the column to see any severe fighting, yet it was continually engaged in sharp skirmishes with the enemy, in which it was invariably successful. When the 52d Bengal Native Infantry mutinied, a detach ment of this column preserved Jubbulpore and the public treasure there, and by its advance on Domah it not only saved that station and the lives of the Europeans resident there, but also induced the Shahgurgh Rajah to release Lieutenant Gordon and the other Europeans whom he had detained in confinement for three inonths." No. 39 is a despatch from Sir J. Hope Grant, describing the defeat which he gave the rebels, to the number of 16,000, at Nawabgunge on the 13th of June last. Besides their overwhelming superi ority in number, the enemy were strongly posted behind a deep nullah, but General Grant attacked with vigour right, left, and centre at once, and very quickly drove them from all their positions. In some parts of the field, however, they seem to have fought with spirit and determination. Sir J. H. Grant writes— _ _ _ " The action on my proper right having com menced with great vigour, I proceeded in that direction leaving Colonel Haggart to super intend the troops on the left. On arriving at this point, I found a large number of Gazzics, with two guns, had come out on the open plain, and at tacked Hodson's Horse with two guns of Major Carleton's battery, which covered my rear. I im mediately ordered up the other four guns under the command of Lieutenant Percival, and two squadrons of the 7th Hussars, under the command of Major Sir W. Russell, and opened grape upon this force within 300 or 400 yards with terrible effect. But the rebels made the most determined resistance, and two men, in the midst of a shower of grape, brought forward two green standards, which they planted in the ground beside their guns, and rallied their men. Captain Atherley's two companies of the 3d Battalion Rifle Brigade, at this moment advanced to the attack, ich obliged the rebels to move off. The cavalry then got between them and the guns, and the 7th Hussars, led gallantly by Major Sir W. Russell, supported by Hodson's Horse, under Major Daly, C. 8., swept through them twice, killing every man. I must here mention the gallant conduct of two officers of the 7th Hussars, Captain Bushe and Captain Fraser. The latter I saw myself sur rounded by the enemy, and fighting his way gal lantly through them all ; he was severely wounded in the hand." Private Shaw,of the 3d Battalion Rifle Brigade,' is recommended for the Victoria Cross by the General for the following exploit : " An armed rebel had been seen to enter a tope of trees; some officers and men ran into the tops in pursuit of him. This man was a Ghazee. Private Shaw drew his short sword and with that weapons rushed single-handed on the Ghazee. Shaw received a severe tulwar wound, but after a desperate struggle he killed the man." Of the 28 rank and file killed in this engage ment 6 were by sunstroke. Nos. 47, 48, 49, and 50 relate to a successful attack made by a detachment of the Saran field force under Major Cox, 13th Light Infantry, on a strong position at Amorah. In this case the enemy, principally Sepoys, to the number of 1,000, aban doned their guns and fortifications as soon as the British force appeared in sight, and retreated with such haste that Major Cox's squadron of Cavalry had no chance with them. The Major writes : " The Sepoys, however, broke up into several small bodies, which made for different villages, so that although the pursuit was continued for four miles, and Captain Vine charged whenever an opportunity offered, he was only able here to cut off 15 or 20 Sepoys, the number of the enemy found killed on the ground during the day being 30 or 40 men." Nos. 51, 52, and 53 relate to the operations of Brigadier Coke, of General Walpole's division, to intercept the rebels in the Budaon district; and 54 to 59 to the recapture of the fort of Copal, by a Field Force under Major Hughes, which had been seized by a body of rebels under Becm Row Des sage. Nos. 60 to 68 are a series of despatches de tailing the movements of a column detached from Brigadier Seaton's force under Colonel Riddell for securing boats for the use of Sir Hugh Rose's force, then engaged in the attack on Calpee. This opera tion appears to have been conducted with great skill in the face of a large body of the rebels. igh praise is given by Colonel Riddell to Lieutenant Sheriff, to whom was intrusted the river part of the expedition. In seven days this officer collected a fleet of 35 boats, all of which, having been sunk by the enemy, bad to be raised frequently under a heavy fire from the banks. The narrative of the magistrate, Mr. Hume, who accompanied the expe dition, mentions what Lieutenant Sheriff's report does not, that in one of these encounters Lieutenant Sheriff killed a havildar in hand to hand fight. The series closes with a report from Lieutenant Nuttall, of the 2d Regiment Irregular infantry, detailing the operations of a detachment of that regiment, and of a party of the Mookee Force in the Chanda District from the 26th of April ' to the 20th of May, 1858. The Commissioner of • Nagpore, in forwar . ding this report to the Gover nor-General, speaks in high terms of the intelli gence and spirit displayed by Lieutenant Nuttall. UNEXPECTED EXPLOSION OF A SUL MARINE SHELL. MARVELLOUS ESCAPE OF THE SPECTATORS. HERNE BAY, THURSDAY. An event took place here yesterday afternoon, which, for the time being, threw this quiet water ing-place into a state of unenviable alarm and com motion. It is necessary, for the proper explanation of what follows, to state that last week Capt. Harvey, R.N., a visitor here, proposed to astonish the natives by an experiment with a submarine shell of his own invention. For this purpose he obtained an old cutter, used by the coastguard, but recently condemned, and, having furbished hex up, purposed one fine afternoon to illustrate the force of his infernal machina by blowing her to pieces. Unfortunately the spectators were baulked of their promised explosion, and of the lecture in the Brunswick-rooms that was to explain the invention, for the shell would not go off. A considerable number of persons being, however, assembled on the beach, an impromptu regatta was got up for their benefit, after witness ing which they went away contented with the promise that the experiment should be successfully performed on the first favourable opportunity. Accordingly yesterday afternoon was selected for r the second trial. The cutter was anchored, and awaited its final doom. The captain, with two or three of his friends in a boat, took out the shell, all was anxious expectation. The shell is made of zinc, and is about the size of an ordinary gas meter. In the present instance it contained twenty six pounds of gunpowder and a quantity of mid. At the top was placed some detonating powder, and into it was tig,htly fixed a glass tube contain ing sulphuric acid. This tube striking against any hard su b stance, such as the side o a ship, breaks, and the sulphuric acid running into the detonating powder an explosion is the result. By some oversight Captain Harvey placed the sand in top instead of at the bottom of the shell, and the consequence was that it floated bottom upwards, and the tube being under the water did not strike the cutter at all. The captain, in the boat, with a long rope attached to the shell, tried in vain to cause it to explode, and at last he bec ame so exc i te d at the failure that he was obliged to be removed. Indeed, we afterwards learned that his mind has been seriously unsettled for sonic time"past, so much so that he has a keeper constantly in attendance upon him. Meanwhile the shell remained floating in the water. After a time a seaman named Wood, thinking it harmless, took the rope and commenced hauling the shell on s h ore . N o sooner , h owever, had it touched the bea c h th an it exp l o d e d with a terrific noise, a dense volume of smoke shooting up into the air. The excitement and alarm in the crowd of spectators on the beach were intense, Fortunately no serious injury to life or limb re sulted, but the concussion was sufficient to blow out the face of the clock tower in the immediate vicinity, and to smash nearly every pane of glass in were broken close by. In addition the shops of a neig hbourin g p astr y cook an d linen draper, and also of the to heD thi iv s e , rs' Arm windows s public-house St. Augustine's - terrace, and In the pastrycook's the the confectionery were all glass jars contrming ointh every h rY ous h e o s us a e djo in St. _ broken and the confectionery strewn about the road. is estimated at between Altogether the damage done £3O and £ 4O. A shower of beach stones and salt THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1858. water was thrown over the spectators, but nothing more. . Had the shell taken a slanting instead of an upright direction, it is feared many lives must have bt en sacrificed. It is to be regretted that the autho rities permitted one so unfit as Capt. Harvey to experiment with a toy so dangerous as a shell con taining 26 lbs. of gunpowder. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 17. MANSION-HOUSE. — Angel Hyam Cohen, of Messrs. Cohen and Co., metal merchants, of Windsor-street, Bishopsgate-street Without, ap peared before the Lord Mayor in discharge of his recognisances, charged with having feloniously re ceived two casks of naval stores belonging to her Majesty, and alleged to have been stolen from the Royal )Dockard at Portsmouth. Mr. Swainson, from the department of the Ad miralty Solicitor, again appeared in support of the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Robinson, barrister, instructed by Mr. Solomon. The depositions taken at the former examination of Sergeants Smith and Robinson, detectives be longing to the metropolitan police, having been read over, Mr. J. Tudhope was called, and said—l am chief clerk to the storekeeper in her Majesty's Dockyard at Deptford. I have examined a portion of the contents of two casks at the police station in Scot land-yard, which were shown to me by the officers. They consist of old metal sheeting, pieces of copper sheet and copper nails, most of them old. The greater portion of them are marked with the broad arrow. They are naval stores, and belonging to the Crown. I have had upwards of 20 years' experience in the Storekeeper's Department. Stores of this de scription are never sold, but are re-manufactured at Chatham, Portsmouth, and Woolwich dockyards. Cross-examined — The Government never sell mixed metal or copper or brass. I speak from 20 years' experience in Deptford dockyard. This is the general rule, and it is one of the standing orders. I did not discover any lead in the casks. I did not see the whole of the contents, but more than half were marked with the broad arrow. On a portion of it the mark is defaced, but any one accustomed to stores of this description can easily trace it. Mr. Swainson said he had completed the case for the Crown. THE CATASTROPHE AT THE SURREY MUSIC HALL, SHEFFIELD. (From the Sheffield Times.) Before proceeding to mention some additional facts which go to strengthen the evidence of the young man Greaves that the panic was in the first instance occasioned by an explosion of gas, we will give some facts of an opposite tendency, and which certainly are somewhat difficult to reconcile with Greaves's statements. In the first place, we hasten to correct a misstatement which crept into our re port of the proceedings at the inquest, and which reflects some injustice on Mr. Flint, who had the management of the gas fittings. When the jury went to view the spot in the gallery where the ex plof4on is said to have taken place an irregular con versation took place. Mr. Flint is reported to have stated in the course of it that when he examined the gallery after the hall was cleared on Monday night there was no piece of boarding sprung at the spot of the alleged explosion. What Mr. Flint really said was that a piece of boarding was sprung, but he denied the inference that it was caused by an explosion of gas. His explanation of the board being sprung is, that before the panic he and his man went to the spot and unfastened the boarding for the purpose of ascertaining whether there was a leakage underneath. As soon as the man had finished the investigation he refastened the board ing, but hurriedly, as the people were waiting to take their seats ; and the boarding, not being suf ficiently secured, sprung out of itself, as it would naturally do, being bent into a circular shape to fit the bend of the gallery. Such is the explana tion of the undoubted fact that the piece of board ing was sprung out of its place after the panic. Another fact is, that there do not appear to be any marks of damage, such as one might expect to see after an explosion, in the immediate vicinity of the spot where it happened. The velvet on the top of the front of the gallery is not burnt, and none of the ornamental work, though it is very slight, is injured. Mr. Cashin, civil engineer, has been re tained by Mr. Flint to examine the place and give his opinion to the coroner and jury as to whether there has been an explosion. We understand that Mr. Cashin, who examined the place yesterday afternoon, is prepared to state positively that in his judgment there cannot have been an explosion of gas at the spot indicated. Mr. Ellis, gasfitter, George-street, who was appointed by the coroner and jury to examine the place, and express an opi nion as to whether there has been an explosion, also made an investigation yesterday, but we are not aware what conclusion he has arrived at. The above facts, so far as they go, tell against the evidence of Greaves and his companion. On the other hand, we must remember that their story is simple, straightforward, and of itself intrinsically trustworthy. That they could be mistaken is im possible, and it is scarcely within the range of pos sibility that their story can have been concocted. All the three young men are of good character. Moreover, their evidence is borne out both by cir cumstanee and corroborative testimony. It will be recollected that Greaves stated that he caused the explosion by lighting a match for his cigar. It is a very curious circumstance, as corroborating his story in a minute point, that on the floor under neath where he sat a half-burnt match was found, and this remnant of the match corresponded in description with the remainder of the matches he carried in his pocket. A great deal has been said about the pistol being fired by a man who sat close to two women. Greaves sat next to two women, and was just about the spot where all those who witnessed the affair say that the flash, from whatever it proceeded, was observed. The evidence of the first woman is as follows : My name is Sarah Ann Beatson. lam 17 years old. I lodge at 22, Doncaster-street, and get my living by washing. I was at the Surrey Music-hall on Monday night. I went with Mary Ann Richard son. We sat next to a yonng man in the gallery-. It was a young man I saw at the Town-hall with his hand burnt. I smelt something, and the people said it was gas. A waiter came with a piece of lighted paper and leaned over the front of the gal lery, and lighted the gas just above the chandelier. About half-an-hour before the explosion a gasman came with another man, who had his coat on and seemed to be master. The gasman opened the woodwork and did something inside, and closed it again. The gasman bad some white stuff in his hand. The young man who sat next to me said, " Bring thy putty here ; it is here it wants it." The mon made some answer, but I did not know what ; and then the young man next me said, " If it's not here, I'll ee t both thee and thy putty." Nothing happened after this till the explosion. I did not see the young man next me strike a match. I should not have seen him if he did so, because I was look ing at the young woman on the stage. I was look ing at her dress. Then the explosion took place. It came like a flash. I can scarcely say what sort of a flash. The flash seemed as if it came upwards, and took my eyesight. I smelt no gunpowder. I am certain the young man next me had no pistol in his hand. I thought at the time it was an explosion of gas. The people began to rush out directly after wards. It would be tedious to give the statement of the other young woman, as it merely corroborates that of her companion. Her name, as already stated, is Mary Ann Richardson. She is 22 years of age, and lives with her parents at 26, Doncaster-street. Mr. Booth, surgeon, in accordance with the re quest of the coroner, has examined the hand of Greaves, in order to ascertain how the injury has been occasioned. He states precisely the same as Mr. Hall, that there is a slight burn which might have been occasioned by an explosion of gas, or by other means ; but the actual mode in which it has been done he is unable to say. There are several persons who saw the flash, and who are prepared to say that they believe it pro ceeded from an explosion of gas. There are more who were of opinion at the time that it was caused by the letting off of a pistol. Some of them still re bin the same belief ; but it is very doubtful whether any one of them will be prepared to come forward and say that he saw a pistol. Madame Marietta, indeed states that she . say a pistol, and it was a very large one ; but the: , t,W4I or from which she suf fered was Eo great that 'cffithout imputing to 112 r any intentional misrepresentation) very little reli ance can be placed upon what she says upon such a point. Mr. Youdan has announced the reopening of the establishment for Friday (last) night. Previously to that time, however, all the gas piping and appa ratus on the premises will be thoroughly tested. Mr. Robinson, on behalf of the prisoner, con tended that there was not a tittle of evidence to show that his client knew that he had Government stores in his poisession at the time the officers searched his premises. It was quite clear that he was ignorant of the fact, and the Crown had not suggested that he was cognisant of it. The Lord Mayor—There was a bill of lading lying on the desk in the counting-house stating the nature of the articles the cask contained. Mr. Robinson—Undoubtedly. He buys old metal and until he sees the metal in the casks he has not the least idea what it is. The course of business is this—goods are consigned to them. As soon as they have seen them they have them weighed, and send a check to the consignors for their value. No doubt fhe young man acted very indiscreetly and absurdly in resisting the officers, but there was not the slightest attempt at concealment from first to last. Smith, the officer, was then further examined, and in answer to the Lord Mayor said--I went into the premises five or six minutes after the casks had been delivered from the cart. I believe they had not then been opened, and I took an iron hoop off and lifted up the head of one of them. We could not get possession of the premises, and our men remained in the streets until five hours after wards. At the end of five hours we searched the premises, but found nothing else. The prisoner, who reserved his defence, wag fully committed for trial for having unlawful possession of Government stores marked with the broad arrow, and belonging to her Majesty. Upon the application of Mr. Robinson the pri soner was admitted t o bail, himself in £2OO, and two sureties in £lOO each. GUILDHALL.--William Thos. Barns, the son, and Lucy Barns, the wife of Mr. Barns, the well known auctioneer and picture dealer of St. Paul's churchyard, again surrendered in discharge of their bail to answer the charge of unlawfully conspiring to defraud Mr. Robert Herries Peter, a gentleman of independent property, residing in Hyde Park square, of a bill of exchange for £1,000., and divers other sums in money, amounting in the whole to between £2,000 and £3,000. Mr. Peter, the prosecutor, being too unwell to attend to sign his deposition, the case was adjourned until Friday next. WESTMINSTER.—Ferris Carr, the policeman who took Isaac Hammond into custody upon the charge of throwing Sarah Farrell, a woman with whom he has been for some time cohabiting, out of window, yesterday represented that he had seen the injured woman in Westminster Hospital, who, after detailing the brutal treatment of Hammond to her a few days ago, said that if the magistrate would come there she would tell him all about the matter. Mr. Paynter shortly afterwards went to the hospital, accompanied by the second clerk, when she appeared to be worse than before, her memory apparently from time to time failing her. Sub joined is her deposition : Prisoner is my husband. I cannot say what hap pened to me in the room. lire had a quarrel. I think I got out of the window. Pray don't hurt him. I know nothing!! more from the time I went out of the window. A week ago he told me he would beat- me. Pray don't hurt him. His mother saw me this morning, and told me he was nearly out of his mind. Prisoner was remanded fir a week. THAMES.—Yesterday Robert Bowers, aged 16, and described as a hawker, was brought on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged wjth burglariously break ing into and entering the .Earl of Glengall public house, Millwall, Poplar, and stealing therefrom about £5 in silver and coppe r , fi ve knives, and a quarter of u pound of Cavendish tobacco. It appeared from the evidence that on the morning of the 10th inst., at half-past 5 o'clock, a young man, named John Marsh, 'lodging at the Glengall Arms, who had to rise early, found the prisoner in the watercloset of the house, and observed a quan tity of pence and halfpence and five knives on the floor. He asked the prisoner what business he had on the premises, to ivhich h e rep li e d th a t h e h a d been locked out of his lodgings, and was compelled to sleep in the watereloset all night. The prisoner then climbed over some palings in the rear of the public-house and made his escape. The landlord was aroused, and discovered the lower part of his premises all " in an uproar," and all the money left iu the till and on the shelves of the bar missing. An entry had been effected by cutting away part of a pane of glass in a side window. A hand was ad mitted, the bolt of the window unfastened, and the window itself pushed back in a horizontal position. Five knives and some tobacco were also missing. A large clasp-knife, not belonging to the landlord, was found upon a table in the bar, and a white jacket in a cottage adjoining.

Mr. Burcham — That's not exactly deserting you. It looks more like desertino. justice. Mr. Solomon here pointed out aclause in the Act of Parliament whi c h empowere d his worship to give protection to a deserted wife in such a peculiar case.

Lumley, shipbuilder, occupying extensive premises near the Commercial Docks, Rotherhithe, was summoned before Mr. Traill, at the instance of the Government, charging him with not complying with the provisions of the Smoke Act. Mr. Bodkin attended in support of the summons. From the evidence of Mr. Sanderson, an engineer in the employ of the authorities, it appeared that he visited the defendant's premises on the 4th Aug. and found a dense sm o k e issuing from a furnace, connected with whi c h were as t e am-engine and boiler, but no apparat us f o r the consumption of the smoke. There were also 19 other furnaces on the premises without flues, the smoke escaping by the roof, and when all the furnaces were charged the place resembled a house on fire. Mr. Bodkin said this was a very aggravated case, and he had to ask that the full penalty might be enforced. The defendant's foreman expressed a willingness to undertake that the furnace of which complaint had been made should not be again used until pro per apparatus was applied, and he hoped this would meet the case. Mr. Traill said it would not do to receiye such undertakings, and inflicting the full penalty of £5, said this fine would be doubled on a second conviction. Mr. Samuel Freeman, stonemason, Rotherhithe, was summoned for a like offence, which was proved by Mr. Thompson, Government engineer. Mr. Trail inflicted a fine of £5 and 2s. 'costs in this case also.
