THB CONVENTION FOR THE NAVIGA. TI Or TEE DAIVUBE. The clauses of the convention of the "Riverain" States, of most importance to countries who are commercially interested in the navigation of the Danube, are as follows ;-- " Art. 1. The navigation of the Danube, from the point at which the river becomes navigable downto the Black Sea, and from the Black Sea up to the said point, shall in as far as regards com merce be entirely free, as well for the transport of goods as for the transport of travellers, if the stipu lations of the present act of navigation and the re gulations of the river police are observed. " Art. 2. All the exclusive privileges of naviga tion of the Danube, as also all special favours of the same nature which have hitherto been granted to companies, to corporations, or to private indi viduals are entirely abolished by the present act, and privileges or favours of such a nature cannot in future be granted to any one. The present dis positions, however, are not applicable to ferryboats or to other apparatus used for purposes of trans port between the two opposite banks of the river. The riverain authorities shall in this matter take such measures as they may consider necessary. " Art. 3. All forced' dues, such as those of sta ple, depot, breaking bulk, first sale, and others of a like nature, which may ever have existed on the Danube, are from this time forward abol ished. Consequently no master of a vessel can in future, for suoh reasons, be constrained to enter any port in the river to discharge or transfer cargo in the same, or to stop for a certain time against his will in any place whatever. " Art. 4. In respect to postal dues, the transport of letters and the produce of the periodical press shall in each riverain country be subject to the regulations there established. No other packet or bale, whatever may be its weight or size, is subjec, on the Danube to the postal reservation. " Art. 6. The navigation from the open sea to each of the ports of the Danube, and from each of those portato the open sea, is free for the vessels of all nations. Consequently such vessels can touch stall the ports lying in the direction of such voyages, can disembark a part or the whale of the merchan dise and travellers brought from sea, and take in merchandise and travellers going to sea. In the practice of this navigation all vessels will in every respect be treated on a footing of perfect equality. " Art. 6. The papers with which ships are fur nished for maritime navigation will serve as proofs of identity during the navigation of the Danube for all those vessels which come from or return to the open sea. The persons havinc , charge of such vessels shall be obliged to exhibit the ship's Tapers at the demand of the authorities charged with the superintendence of the navigation of the Danube. Art. 7. Vessels coming from or returning to a navigable river indirectly communicating with the Danube shall be treated according to the principles laid down in Arts. 5 and 6. "Art. 8. The exercise of the river navigation— in the strictest sense of the word—between the ports of the Danube, without enttring into the open sea, is reserved to the vessels of the countries lying on the banks of the river. All the vessels belonging to this category, being legalised in con formity with the tenor of the following articles, have a right to exercise the river navigation upon a footing of perfect equality. Consequently they can without any exception transport merchandise and travellers between all the ports of the river bordering countries. However, in the exercise of the inner navigation of the river between the ports of one and the same river-bordering country, they and the persons in charge of them shall be subject to the same regulations as the natives of the country. " Art". 9. Every shipowner belonging to one of the river-bordering countries is at liberty to place in the territory of another, on the banks of the river, agents of navigation, to open bureaux, and other necessary establishment=, and also to make use of the public establishments, such as landing places, quays, &c., on the sem) footing as the natives. The publication of the fares charged shall not be prevented. (There is reason to believe that some reservation made by the Porte respecting right of possession' was annexed- to this article.) " Art. 10. All the advantages granted to the ships of any other nation by a river-bordering country, in regard to the navigation of the Danube shall also be conceded to the vessels of all the river-bordering States." The act of navigation is composed of no fewer than 47 articles, and it hardly admits of a doubt that several of them must be modified before their validity can be recognised by the non-Riverain Powers. A quarantine will be established on the Danube, and all vessels navigating the river will be obliged to have a pilot on board. DEATH OP THE QUEEN OF OUDE. We regret to state that the Queen Dowager of Oude died 3eiterday at Paris. The unfortunate lady left England a few days ago, in very bad health, intending to proceed to Egypt, and even tually, we believe, to M..cca. She rallied slightly after h-r arrival at Paris, and hopes were confi dently expressed that she would be able to proceed with her journey. But those good sympt.ms were delusive, and s'ie brew het her last yesterday, we believe, in her ti-ith year. We take the following account of the movements of her sable Majesty arid suite, after her arrival in the French capital, from the Courier of Paris of yesterday. The writer at the time was, of course, ignorant of the sad event which had just happened " The Queen of Oude, whose arrival on Friday the Courier of Paris has duly announced, came to this city with the object of endeavouring to re-establish her health, which hid been seriously affected by the climate of London. Her Majesty was exiled in a twofold degree iu England. Not only was she far away from her own country, but she was residing in a climate which is frequently so foggy that the sun is altogether obscured. This is the first time that the Queen of Oude has visited Paris. She had been for some time pre viously expected here, but those anticipations amounted to naught. Some members of her family only bad passed some days in France. " The Queen of Oude inhabits the apartment on the first floor of the hotel Lafitte. Some days pre vious to her arrival that apartment had been pre pared for her—that is to say, they had taken away from it all its ordinary furniture. The entire of the family and all the suite of the Queen lay upon the carpet, where they passed the night. "The ladies of the Queen remained the whole of the day seated upon the same carpet which had also served them for their bed. They talked together, worked, ate, and prayed alte rna t e ly. " Yesterday the carpet of the common salle was covered with heads, talismans, and amulets, scat tered about for their devotions, and before which all- the Indians prostrated themselves while pray ing for the re-establishment of their (411 , 3!.n. "Two of the young princes of the suite of the Queen of Oude alone reposed upon a bed, which they found excelent ; but instead of placing them selves side by side, they by down in opposite positions, the one with la?s head alongside the other's feet. - "The Queen has also a bed, but no person can see it, not even the domestics of the hotel. At the least, noise her Majesty conceals herself behilid a veil and hastily draws the curtains of her palanquin, in which she passes the greater part of the day. "Some Eaglitih families of distinction accompany the Queen of Oude. These distinguished strangers occasion a lively curiosity. A numerous crowd were stationed all th e d aya t th e corner o f t h e Rue ',tau° andof the R ue d e Provence, for the purpose of ad miring the rich costumes rid the characteristic figures of the Indian i princes, who frequently showed themselves in th e balcony. Some of those princes even promenaded the boulevards y es t e rday, where their presenc e c reate d a great sensation." SIR COLIN CANTERLL.—The Scot.swian, after quoting an article by one of our weekly'a connectio n is not with Islay, contemporaries tiers in London. says :—Sir Colin nor is he even a Campbell. and still do belong to the Island of Mull, and his 'lid M`Liver— the name of Campbell having; real (o p t e d, a is we believe, from a maternal uncle, who bad assisted in his youth. The gallant general's father very aged man—is still alive in Mull, in an humbl i r b s o a t comfortable position." INDIAN AND AUSTRALIAN NEWS.—A. telegra m will be due in England, from Malta, on Friday next, w i t h Bombay news up to the 9 th inst. ; and a telegram will be due in England, from Malta, on Saturday next, with Australian news, from Sydney up to the 11th ult., and from Melbourne to the 15th ult. TEMOUTWAIID MAILS.—The Postmaster-General gave notice, yesterday, that a mail for the Capeo f Good Hope e will be made up in the General Post - office on the even ing of the 26th instant, to be conveyed by her steamer Lynx; that mails fcr S ou t h ampton, via a General w ill be made np in the General Poet. , ffiee ' to be forwarded by the non-contract packets, which Conan running on the 11 th proximo ; that ,the next mare for Calcutta direct, Penang , Sin g a p ore, and China, ' v ia Marseilles, will he due in London on the 27t h inst an d' that the nett mailfrom India, via Bombay awl Marseilles, wili be due in London on the 31 prox:no, OPZ:ITICG OF THE KENC _HATLWAY,—The first portion of this line, that between Chatham and Fever eh Irn, Was 1;118811y opened for geuerel traffic yesterday.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE,I General Sir Colin Campbell, K.C.8., is to be removed from the 67th to be Colonel of the 93d Highlanders. Major-Generals Drummond, Davies, and Fraser, are to be the colonels of the three vacant regiments. Yesterday the whole of the officers and men of the Chatham division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry now at head-quarters were assembled in their barrack-square for the purpose of witnessi n g the presentation of two silver medals, together with gratuities of 151. each, awarded by the Lords of the Admiralty to Sergeant-Major G. W. Lane and Ser geant-Major J. Morrison, both of the Chatham di vision, for long service and meritorious conduct. The:whole of the battalion having been formed into square, the usual order from the Admiralty was read by the Adjutant, after which Colonel E. A. Parker, the commandant of the division, address ing the two non-commissioned officers, said,—" I feel much pleasure in having being deputed by the Lords of the Admira.ty to present to each of you this medal and the gratuity attached, as an acknow ledgment by their lordships of your long and valu able services in the corps of Royal Marines. After such a distinguished mark of their lordships' appro bation, it will be unnecessary for me to address you with any observations of my own, but, as your commanding officer, I cannot forbear taking this opportunity of bearing testimony to the zealous and efficient manner in which each of you has per formed his onerous duties. I sincerely trust that you may long live to enjoy the honour bestowed on you, and that you may obtain further rewards and promotions." Sergeant-Major Lane has been 30 years in the service, 17 of which he has passed as a non-commissioned officer; he served four years in Spain with the force of Royal Marines, under Gen. Owen. Sergeant-Major Morrison has been in the service 28 years, 21 of which he has been a non-commissioned officer ; he is decorated with the Syrian and Turkish medals, baying served in the Vesuvius, under Admiral Stopiord, at the bombardment of Acre. Lieutenant S. T.

The whole of the Government offices at Chatham, with the exception of the Dockyard and the Ordnance establishment, were closed all day, and the workmen granted a whole holiday. Her Majesty's ship Eagle, 50, Captain Story, left Falmouth on Saturday for Milford, in tow of the Valorous, to be stationed there, and she is to be replaced at Falmouth by one of the screw di vision, the Russell, 60, just commissioned at Sheerness, to which vessel Captain Story will be appointed, with an increased establishment of offi cers and crew. THE BOYAL LiARRIAGE LICENSE. The circumstances attending the issuing of this important document are somewhat peculiar and interesting. By an act of parliament passed in the 12th year of the reign of George 111., called "An Act for the better Regulating the Future Mar riages of the Royal Family," it is enacted that " no descendant of his Majesty King George 11., male or female, other than the issue of princesses who hare married or may hereafter marry into foreign families, shall be capable of contracting matrimony without the consent of his Majesty, his heirs or successors, .signified under the Great Seal of Eng land ;" and under the provisions of this act the royal license was issued from Doctors' Commons. This highly interesting document was beautifully engrossed on vellum, and presented a masterpiece of clerkmanship. To it was attached the ordinary official seal, the outer covering of which was of tinted paper, the better to agree in hue with the vellum, and which seal was appended by white silk ribbon, the ends formed into pretty bows. The document commences by the Archbishop of Canterbury greeting his " well - beloved in Christ, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa, Princess Royal of England, and his Royal Highness Prin ce Frederick William Nicolas Charles of Prussia," to whom his Grace wishes " health andin Christ everlasting ;" and then, after reciting that her Majesty was graciously pleased to consent that Her Royal Highness might contract the holy sta+e of matrimony by letters under the Great Seal of England, given on May 16, 1857, quotes the portion of the act of parliament given above. It then again recor 's that her Majesty has consented to the august alliance, and has signified her consent in due form, under her own hand ; and his Gi ace then states that at a privy council at Osborne, on May 16, 1857, at which her Majesty, the Prince C sort, Earl Granville, the Lot d President ; Sir Geo. Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department; Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ; the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, Pre sident of the Board of Control : Lord Stanley of Alderley, President of the Board of Trade ; the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ; and E trl Spencer, Lord Stewart, were present, her Majesty declared that the gave her consent to the alliance between her " most be loved" daughter and her now royal husband under the Great Seal of Englind, and that her Majesty's consent was entered in the books of the Privy Coun cil accordingly. His Grace then recites that as her Majesty has directel her royal warrant to him he grants the license for the performance of the cere mony notwithstanding that the usual oaths be not taken previous to its issue, he being " assured there are no impediments to the contraction of the alliance." The usual form of a special license then follows, to the effect that his Grace grants the license and faculty to the contracting parties and to all Christian people willing to be present at the solemnization of the marriage, at any time, or in any church, or chapel, or other right and convenient place, by any bishop of the realm, or any rector, vicar, curate, or chaplain of such church, or chapel, or by any other minister in holy orders. About a fortnight since her Majesty's warr Int was trans mitted to the usual department of Doctors' Com mons, and the Queen's Proctor delivered the royal 'lcense at Buckingham Palaee last week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—,Tan. 25. MANSION-HOUSt.---CHARGE OP ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS.—Thomas Gibbous, a well dressed young man, who described himself as a gun-barrel filer, living at Birmingham, and Eliza beth Bittersale, a showily-attired woman, were brought before r, Alderman Wire, charged with attempting to pick pockets. J ames C o ff e e, constable 447, said—Last night, between 8 and 9 o'clock, I was on duty outside the Mansion-house, when I saw the prisoners, and another man not in custody, make repeated at tempts to pick the pockets of ladies who were in the act of entering omnibuses. They several times got upon the steps of omnibuses as if for the pur pose of proceeding by them, but suddenly stepped upon the ground, pretending that there was not room for them. I took them to the station-house, when 21. 10s, 6d. was found upon the mile, and 4s. 6id. upon the female prisoner. By Alderman Wire —They might have gone by any one of several omnibu -ns if the y h ad chosen. They denied all knowledg e of each other . Mr. W. Daldey—l keep a coffee-house in Tothill street. On Saturday evening Gibbons came to my house and engaged a bed for himself and a separate one for Bittersale an 1 a man who passed as her huAband. Gibbons told me be had just arrived from Birmingham, and was going to Enfield on the following day. About 11 o'clock last night the man not in custody came and said that the prisoners would not be at home till to-day, as they had gone to pay a visit to a relation. That man slept in a room with another lodger, and this morning, about 3 o'clock, ho went from my house, leaving the straet-door wide open. The other lodger has since informed me that he hid been robbed whilst asleep of 451. In reply to Alderman Wire, Gibbons said h e h a d come up to London in the expectation of getting employment at his trade at Enfield. Bittersale declared that she had never seen Gib bons or his friend till Saturday night. Alderman Wire sentenced the prisoners to two months' hard labour, at Holloway. AUDACIOUS ATTEMPT AT STREET ROBBERY. — Mary Ann Barrett was charged under the following circumstances :--- Mr. Dixon, a licensed victualler, in Lower Thames-street, said—Last night I was coming from the Shoreditch Station, accompanied by several friends, and when I arrived opposite the Catherine Wheel Public-house, in Bishopsgate-street, I was hustled by several people, and ki:o. , ked down, as well as one of my friends. The party that attacked us consisted of either two or three women and two men. They made an attempt to grab my watch, anal stole my friend's hat ; my coat-tail in the scuffle was torn off. The prisoner was one of the party who assaul'el us. Policeman 622—1 saw a crowd in Thshopsgate street at the time in question, and found the pro- Fedutor and prisoner on the ground together ; she was violently pulling his hair. Prosecutor com plained of having been knocked down by the prisoner and her companions. The prisoner declared that the prosecutor and his friends were intoxicated—a stitement which was clearly proved to be false. She also asserted that the prosecutor and his friends pushed her &fore she struck him ; that as she was walking along Bisbopsgate-street, with two other women, one of the prosecutor's friends went up to her slapped her face, and gave one of the other women a blow on the eye which drew blood. The prosecutor called a respectable man named Lowe, a stranger to all parties, who was an eye witness to the assault. He said that as he was passing the Catherine Wheel at the time in ques tion, he saw four women and a man rush upon the pr,seeutor and one of his friends, and knock them down and roll upon them. The prisoner was sentenced to 21 days' imprison ment with hard labour. THE EFFECTS OF BAD COMPANY.--SitrAll Tobin was charged with stealing a silver watch from Joseph And.ers,q), a carpenter, in Seething - lane. The prosecutor said th a t about ten o'clock last night he met the prisoner and two others, near the statue, in King William-street. He treated them to some beer, and when they reached a narrow turning in the vicinity of Lead-nhall-market, the prisoner snatched his watch from his pocket, and handed it to one of her companions, who got clear off with it. The prisoner, who denied having committed the robbery, was sentenced to three months' imprison ment with hard labour. CLERKENWELL.—A BRUTAL HUSBAND .-- TIIE NEW DIVORCE ACT AGAIN. —Timothy Spiers, alias Brown, aged 48, a rough-looking powerful, fellow, described as a seaman, of no home or occu paton.' was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with being drunk and violently assaulting his wife, Mrs. Fanny Spiers, at her residence, 1, Norway-street, St. Luke's. Mr. John Wakeling, solicitor, appeared for the complainant. Mr. Wak. ling, in opening tin case, said that this was one of the matte's which the new Matrimonial Causes and Divorce Act was intended to meet ; and it was his intention, after his worship had decided upon the cha , ge of assault, to apply for an order under the 21st section of that act, which [rovided that a wife, deserted by her husband, might, at any time apply to a magistrate for an order to protect any money or property she might have acquired by her own lawful industry, or which she might be come possessed of after such desertion, against her husband or his creditors. The facts of the case were these. The complainant had been married to assigned,him everything left her andhe could dit the defendant about 13 years, and she had n o w one boy alive, who was 10 years of age. Aft er th e y had been married about four years, the d e f en d an t, wAiratheoruicta,antaykcianugth with lay se t his hands upon. The wife supported herself, and bad got together a comfortable home, when, after an absence of 18 months, h a re t urne d i n the most deplorable plight, and because his wife refused to support him, he took out a pair of pis.ols and threaeened to shoot her. He again went away, and nothing more was heard of him until about a fortnight before Christmas, when he called at the complainant's house, and she again refusing to take him in, he said, with a shocking oath, that he would have her life before the next day was out. She then took out a summons at this court, but owing to the defendant getting out of the way, the officer could nit effect the service. On Saturday night last, about half-past 10, the complainant was at home, when the defendant went to her house, taking with him a man and woman. When the complainant saw the defendant, she t ld him to go about his business, when he said, "So you have had a warrant for me?" Complainant said she had, and should be obliged to have another unless he kept from annoying her. He again three.' ened her, and upon her attempting to pass into the next h house for protection, the ma n who was with the defendant struck her a v iolent blow, and the defendant followed it up by striking her two very severe blow s on the face and syes- Both men then ran away, but the prisoner was apprehended and locked up. He (Mr. Wake ling, was instructed to say, that all the wife wanted was for her brutal husband to keep away from her, and for her property to be protected. He then called — Mrs. Fanny Spears, a respestable-looking female , who said the prisoner was her husband, but he had deserted her about eight years ago. On Saturday night a bout ten o'clock he called at her reside nce, bringing with him a man who, after some conversa tion, struck her and then ran away. Her husband then struck her two violent blows on the face, which knocked her down and rendered her in sensible. He ran away but was afterward= captured by a polies-constable who witnessed the assault. She did not wish to imprison him ; all that she wanted was to be protected from his violence. The bruise on her eye was the result of the prisoner's violence. Police-constable, 41 G, said he saw the prisoner strike the complainant, and, although he was some distance off, the blows were so violent that he distinctly heard them. The prisoner, in defense, said-he was sorry that be had struck his wife, and hoped that his worship would be as lenient with him as possible. He was engaged on board a vesse l t h at was to sail that afternoon for Adelaide, and he would never trouble his wife again. Mr. Corrie said that there could bo little doubt, now that the new sot was in operation, that there would be many similar applications to that made by Mr. Wakeling. The question in this case was what would be th e best course for him to adopt for the benefit of the wife. Ho had power to send the prisoner to the -s ouse of Correction with hard labour for six calendar monthe, but as the prisoner was about leaving the country he would not adopt that course. He should sentence the prisoner to two mouths' in the Rowe of Correction, but would not at present issue his warrant, so that the prisoner could go about hiss business, but if he was found near his wife's resielence for 'the purpose of annoy s ins; her, he would be forthwith conveyed to prison. Ile thought that would . protect the wife and her property. The prisoner, who seemed pleased with the de cision, left.the cows, sa ying "he hoped the ship would sail as. soon as he bearded." INHUMANITY TO A. Hoßse.—James Forster, a earnaau, of Southampton-street, Clerkenwell, was cbaroed at the instance of Love, the chief con- stable of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with the following cruel treat , ment to a horse. driv- The officer stated that be saw the prisoner ing a horse which was drawing a cart heavily laden with rubbish, and from the restless movements of the animal be was induced to stop and examine it. On lifting the saddle he discovered on each side of its back and on the top of its withers extensive wounds, which were evidently of long standing, and were discharging a quantity of filth. The horse appeared to be suffering greatly, and, in ad dition to being an aged one, was in very miserable condition. The prisoner said he knew it was wrong to work the horse in the slate it was, but he had no other, and was a very poor man, or he would not have done so. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, admitted his guilt, and implored the magistrate not to pun ish him, saying that he would take every means to cure the horse, aad would not work it again until it was well. A gentleman in court said he had known the prisoner many years to be a herd-working and hone,t man, and he believed he was driven to work the horse, having no other means of getting a liv ing, and having a large family to support. He would undertake to have the horse properly looked after, and it should not be worked again until it was quite recovered. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that it was a very bad else, and one which had very properly been brought before him. Nothing could justify a man working a horse in such a deplorable condition. Taking, however, into consideration the character the prisoner had received, he was disposed to allow him to go on this occasion, but if he was ever brought before him again on such a charge, he would most assuredly commit him to prison with hard labour for the full term. _ _ The prisoner was accordingly discharged on pay ment of the green-yard fees, and the horse given np to MORB CRUELTY. —CharIes Amos, an ill-looking fellow, described as a costermonger, of the Old Kent-road, was charged with cruelly ill-treating a donkey. The case was proved by Smith and Seaman, two of the Royal Society's officers, who deposed to re peated acts of cruelty towards a donkey by the prisoner by striking it over its loins and legs a number of times wi h great violence with a heavy cudgel, the animal all the time trotting and doing its utmost. Mr. Tyrwhitt characterised the prisoner's con duct as being very brutal, and fined him 10s., or in def %tilt of payment, 14 days' bard labour in the House of Correction. The p f risoner was locked up in default. WESTMINSTER—DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE. James Hayes, a middle-aged man, was finally ex. awined, charged with the following disgracefu outrage : Charles Biddle, sen., one of the porters at the Westminster Hospital, proved that, at half past nine .o'clock on the evening of the 16th mat., the defendant entered the hospital in a' state of intoxication, and wanted to see his wife, who had been admitted to visit her mother, not expected to live. The hall porter went to fetch the wife, and the accused was about to follow him, but wit ness came up and stopped him, telling him that he could not be permitted to go into any of the wards, as it was not allowed ; upon which defendant struck him several blows. Another porter, who came to witness's assistance, was thrown down, and his knee severely hurt ; defendant also struck him (witness) a blow under the ear. Jchu Harwood, 129 B, took charge of the ac cused in the hospital. The porter, Rossin, appeared to be very lame. The latter having stated that his knee was still painful, Defendant expressed great contrition for the outrage he had committed, and said that as his wife's mother had since died, and he was desirous of following her to the grave, he hoped his punish ment might be light. Mr. Paynter said his conduct was most dis graceful. He should thee him 31., and in def nett commit him for six weeks, and hard labour. FRAUD AND FELONY. Phililp3 was finally examined on the charge of committing the following artful robberies : From the evidence adduced it appeared that Mr. Shipway, the accuse.l's employer, a trunk-maker, carrying on business at No: 3, Sloane-street, °eel sea, sent him on Tuesday week to obtain payment of a bill of 14s. from a lady, and gave • him Os. to give as change for a sovereign, should it be required. The prisoner want to the lady's house, was paid by the servant, and gave a receipt, absconded with the two sums of money, and sent a letter to Mr. Ship way, purporting to come from the lady, and stat ing that it would be inconvenient for her to pay the bill just then. Three days afterwards accused I went to the shop of Mr. Hendrick, a trunk-maktr, Fitzroy-square, alleging that a gentleman in the Portland-road was in want of two first c'ass port manteaus, and wished to have some sent for inspec tion. Mr. Hendrick selected two and sent his s. .n, a boy between 13 and 14, with the prisoner, in order that all might be right, the boy carrying ono of the trunks. On arriving at the White Swan, Great Portland-street, mewed took the trunk from the lad, and telling him that the gentleman was in one of the upper rooms and he would take the trunks for him to look at, asked him to wait out side. The boy having done eo for upwards of an hour, wont inside and spoke to the barmaid, who told him that the accused hid passed through with two trunks (the house having two entrances), and had thus got clear away. He was met on the fol lowing Sunday and given into custody on his ne's ter's charge. Mr. Hendrick afterwards identified him as the person who had deft auded chParrgise,"wears' who fully d c e o c m l i n m e i f t l t ma e d kng any answer to the for t ri al. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—INIPUDENT ROB BERY.—William Shephard was charged with rob bing Lird Norreys of his watch. Lord Norreys stated that be lived at No. 18, Grose enor-street. He was walking along St. James's street, about half-paet one o'clock that day, wln.n he felt his watch guard snap. He looked down and saw the prisoner had his watch iii his hand. He seized the prisoner and told him to restore his and watch. The watch was pic ked u p by some person, re turned to him. A policeman CAMO up and he gave the prisoner into custody. The watch was worth about 8/. When he charged the prisoner wi:h steal ing his watch the prison.ex said made no saw reply. scuffla in Police-consta ble, 72 0, he a St. James's - s treet. He ran over to the parties, and the complainant gave the prisoner into his charge. The priscner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Beadon sentenced Mini to hard labour for six months. A FATAL BLOW. —Harp Ann NEYWM3II was charged with having so thatcheriured Elizabeth Walsh, by :blow on the face, Th e prisoner lived at 7, Sherra,rd-street, in the same house where the complainant and her mother keep a newspaper shop. On the evening of Friday week the complaihant, who had been previously abused by the prisoner, went up stairs to com plain to the prisoner's husband. The prisoner rushed out of the room, and struck the complainant it violent blow on the nose, which knocked her down, her head coming into violent contact with the floor. The complainant felt so unwell from the violence sustained that she was shortly afterwards obliged to call in medical aid, and it was then found that she had sustained a concussion of the brain. She gradually got worse, until such favour symp`oms set in as induced Mr. Beadon to • proceed, with the chief clerk, to the complainant's house, there to take her depositions. • The prisoner wasremanded. MARYLEBONE.—EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF FRAUD. —Just before the closing of the court, a man, who gave his name Joseph Maynell, was brought up by Smith, 66 L (a very active officer), and placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged wit h having, by f r audulentrepresentationm, obtained property to tne amount of between 40/. and 50/. from Mr. John Wilkinson, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Pro,ocuter's evidence went to show that about three weeks ago the prisoner, whom he had before seen, purchased of him some rags of the value of 305., for which ho paid, and, in the course of con versation which ensued, he was told by hint i(phe sorter) that that he might do be tter by his goods t wilt them up to London , a t the Same time mention ing that he knew a highly-respectable firm, the name of the principal partner in which was Menn e ll, and prosecutor accordingly , at p risoner's dictation, wrote a letter to the alleged firm, whose place of business was set forth as being at 32, Aldenham street, Clarendon-square. He posted the said letter on the Bth inst., and in three days afterwards, in conrk queue° of a reply which he received, he for warded, agreeably to order, 3 tons 7 cwt. of rags by the L )ndon and North-Western Railway, and in the name of Me unell. On th provic us morning (thin prisenr having ad interim called ( - . , n him at his home) he deemed it right to come np to London, and on his making inquiry at the house in Alden ham street he received - information which quite s Ltisfied him that the business, as represented to him, was not carried on thete. He then-went to the'goods st ition, at Camden-town, and found that the' whole of his rags sent up had been taken away in a van belonging to G. a nd A. Bowes, rag mer chants, Newington-cauSeway. Some further evidence was g one into, from which it 4ppeared that on Friday afternoon last, the pr:- sorter came to Messrs. Bowes, and asked for a van and horses to fetch some rags from the Camden sta tion ; the required conveyance was furnished to him byfMr. A. Bowes, who se nt his carman with him in the evening to the statio n in q uestion ; the goods were purchased by Mr. Bowes when brought there, and prisoner was paid 11/, on account, and was to call again for the remainder on Monday morning. Mr. Wilkinson went to Messrs. Bowes's house, when the prisoner came in while he and Smith, the policeman, were there, and he (prisoner) was then given into custody. It was mentioned that Mr. Salmon, Sna-road, Bermondsey, and other parties in N ewc astle, had been defrauded by the prisoner, wh o, in order to afford time for further investigation, was remanded till Monday next. Patrick Sainlield, an Irish labourer, was charged with having indecently assaulted a little girl, named Ellen Crook, six years of age, with intent to violate her. Mr. Keene attended for the prisoner. After some evidence was gone into, the prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded for a week. ROBBERY.—T mi , n, named Sothergood and Brown, were charged, the former with robbing his master, Mr. Payne, High-street, Camden-town, of meat, and the latter with receiving a portion of the same with a guilty knowledge. Sothergood was committed for three months, and Brown for t months, to the House of ClerreCtion. DONATIONS FOR THE SOLDIER'S WIDOW.- , —MT. Broughton received for the poor, soldier's widow, Anne Southgate (whose distressing case appeared on Saturday last) 10s. from J. F. Stamford, Foley house, Portland-place, the amount of pence not given to unfortunate street beggars, who in too many instances were undeserving of relief ; 1/. from Mr. North, a retired medical gentleman ; and 2/. from E. N., also for the widow. SOUTHWARK. —PLATE ROBBERY BY A SER VANT.—Elizabeth Popjoy, a young woman about 20 years of ags, was charged with stealing a num ber of silver table, dessert, and t - a-spoons, the p r operty of Mr. Walter Parker Mynne. The wife of the prosecutor, a hop merchant in the Borough, - said they had apartments at 147, Dover-road, and the defendant was s- rvant in the house. On Sa.uiday night, about eight o'clock, witness missed six dessert-spoons, four table-spoous, and five tea-spoons from the kitchen, and, not being able to get any tidings about them, en Monday morning information was given to the police. A. few hours afterwards witness was sent for to the police-station, where she found the p risoner in custody, and saw two table spoon., six dessert spoons, and the five tea-spoons. They were all silver, and had her husband's initials on them. The prisoner had a black satin dress ou her below's ing to her mother, who was staying on a visit, and they missed several other articles. An assistant to Mr. Dempster, pawnbroker, 100, Union-street, said the prisoner pledged three des sert-spoons for 15s. on Saturday night. On Monday morning she came again and offered two table spoons in pledge, and, having received information of the robbery, he detained her until a constable was sent for, and she was taken into custody. Abraham Deering, 38 M, said he received charge of the prisoner and the table-spoons she had offered to pledge. She at first said they were her pro perty, but, on the way to the station-house she said she had stolen them from 147, Dover-ro id. She also took from her pocket the dessert and tea spoons, and handed him a pawnbroker's ticket for two spoons and a tabl e e-cover. She acknowledge.l also that the dress sh had on belonged to Mrs. Mynne's mother. Mr. Burcham asked how long the prisoner had been a servant in the house. . Mrs. Myune replied—About 10 days. Sh e absconded from the house as soon as she got posses sion of the property. Deering here asked for a remand, to enable him to trace the other property. Mr. Burcham accordingly remanded her, and complimented the pawnbroker for the manner in which he had acted. THE NEW DIVORCE ACT.—Shortly after Mr. Burcham had taken his seat on the bench, Mr. Solomon, solicitor, of the Borough-road, attended with a respectable -looking lady, for his worship's protection under the new Divorceand Matrimonial Clauses Act. Mr. Solomon said that the lady who sought pro tection was Mrs. Clarissa Ann Roxby, the wife of Mr. Henry Roxby, a celebrated vocalist, well known in the provinces. They were married at Whitechapel Church in October, 1826, and in 1832 he deserted her, and had not since been near her, or iu anywise contributed to her support. She had, by teaching dancing, acquired some property, and being about to establish herself more firmly in business, she wished protection under the 21st section of the new act, which gave power to magis trates at police courts or in petty sessions to make an order to secure whatever property she may have obtained by her own labour since the desertion. He should be ab l e to prove sufficient for his wor ship to make the required order. Mr. Bercharn asked where Mrs. Roxby had eita blishel her busine:s. Mr. Solomon replied that she lived in the Palace New-road, near Aeley's Theatre, which was in the parish of Lambeth. Mr. Burch tin told him that as such was the case the application should be made at L tinbth Police court, as she lived in that district. Mr. Solomon thought that the application had better be made at this court, as the act of Parlia ment laid down that the order Enlist be left with the registrar of the county court in the district. Now that would be, in this instance, the South wark County Court, which was in the district of this court ; therefore, he thought it a case for his worship's interference. Mr. Burcham had no doubt as to his. authority, but the practice of this Court was, not to iuttrfete with cases-out of the district unless under very peculiar circumstances. This was not one of thi. se cases ; therefore Mr. Solomon had better" go to Lambeth t. Mr. Solomon submitted to his worship's decision, and left the court with th,-) determination of obtain ing protection for Mrs. Roxhy. L...k.MBETEE. —CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT IN THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—AS Mr.l Elliott WAS about to leave the bench, Mr. Sayer Milwarki, a gentleman of about 21 years of age, dressed in the most approved style of modern fashion, of Cam. bridge- I errace, Hyde Park, law student, was brought to the court in custody, and placed at the bar, on a charge of indecently assaulting Miss Catherine Elworthy, the daughter of Mr. El worthy, proprietor of the Bell Tavern, Lower Thames street, City. The complainant, a pretty and modest girl, of only 11 years of age, though she appeared at least 16 or 17, whi gave her evidence under excited feel ings, said that she accompanied her lit de brother and uncle to the Crystal Palace on that day, and while in one of the galleries listening to the concert, the prisoner, who sat before her, put his hand up her clothe', and placed it on her leg. He put up his hand a second time, and caught hod of her leg under the knee, and she then told him to be quiet. Mr. Elliott—Then you did not speak to the prisoner the first time he did it ? Witness—No, sir ; but I cried, and my uncle asked me what was the matter, and I told him. The prisoner then got up, and walked away, but uncle I.llowed and gave him into custody. Mr. Wm. Elwerihy said he was a surver'r by profession, and resided at Birmingham, but was at present on a visit to his brother, at the Bell Tavern, in Lower Thames-street, City. Ou that morning lie accompanied his niece, the last witness, and his nephew, on a visit to the Crystal Palace, and while in one of the galleries listening to the concer; he observed his niece crying, and, on asking her what was the matter, he saw the prisoner draw his hand from under her clothes, and his niece at the same time told him what had happened. The prisoner in stantly got up from his seat and walked away, with out offering the least apology, but witness followed and gave him in charge. 1 Toe prtsoner—You say I said nothing. Did not I say I did not hurt her ? Witness—l did not hear you say so. Prisoner—Well, but I did. Police-constable James Bentham, 212 P, said the prisoner was given into his custody in the Crystal Palace on that day, on a charge of indecent assault, and he (the prisons!) did not deny the offence of putting his hand up, the clothes of the complainant twice and catching hold of her leg, and when the charge WAS booked he inquired if an apology would be accepted. When asked what he had to say the charge, The prisoner, in a silly drawling tone, said that though be had put his hand twice under the clothes of the young lady and caught hold of her leg, he bad not dons so with any indecent intention, but only as a joke, and did not do any harm. Mr.. Elliott told him. his conduct was exceed ingly improper, and ordered him to pay a penalty of 40s. for the assault, or in default to be im prisoned for 20 days.

TUE LEVIATHAN. It having been found by the authorities at Mill wall that this huge vessel required considerably less pressure from the hydraulic rams if applied at high tide, it was determined to confine the operations to those periods when the tide served. This course was adopted on Saturday forenoon, and also in the evening, up to past 9 o'clock, at which hour the men were withdrawn till yesterday morning, when they mustered in full force at 6 o'clock, soon after which period, it being found that the vessel was several feet in water, the order was given to apply the pressure ; and a few minutes after 7 o'clock, everything being in readiness, the hydraulic pumps were worked and the Leviathan answerQd instantly, gliding in a beautiful and steady manner down the ways, and continuing to do so till nearly 12 o'clock. At a quarter before that hour a most unfortunate accident occurred on the aft slip, by which it is feared two men were mortally wounded. The accident took place at the spot where the tim bers have to be placed to carry the force of the hydraulics to the cradles, and at the above hour, as several men were standing in the act of ballasting the timbers, on of the mas sive baulks connected with the largest and most powerful press sprang from its position, throwing the unfortunate men in every direction. Two of them, by name Thomas Partis and William Kellam, were thrown into the air to a considerable height. Mr. Yates, the secretary, and several other gentle men were standing within a few yards of the spot, and orders wer3 at once given to proceed to where the men were lying and render what assiAtl.nee was necessary. It was found that Partis and Kellam were much injured, and therefore they were at once removed to Poplar Rospitai. The house surgeons of that valuable institution, on examina tion, found that Partis had received a fracture of the skull and arm, while Kellam had his right arm broken, and also a severe injury to the right si le. Soon after this accident op,Ta,tions wore suspended, when, on reference to the register, it was found that the yes-el h.td moved 9 feel 9i inches aft, and exactly 8 feet forward. Orders were then given for a b ,dy of men to proceed to the starboard side of the vessel, for the purpose of removing the shores of the cradles to as great an extent as pos sible. At this work the men were engaged most successfully tilt dusk. When the men were knocked off it was intended to proceed with the operation of forcing the vessel still farther into the water in the course of the night, if the tide proved favour able to such a proceeding. Mr. Brunel, Mr. Hep worth, Capt. Harrison, and the other officials were as usual at t!i&r appointed posts, and directed everything with their usual skill and attention. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The railway intelligence of last week is of some importance. The rep irt of the London and Brigh . on states the gross revenue for the past halt-year to have been 431,3611., showing a diminution of 2,2111. as compared with the corresponding peri-d of 1856 ; in the total revenue of 1857, however, there is an increase of 4,3361. The traffic has received a sensible augmentation from the opening of the West-end line from the Crystal Palace to Wandsworth, upon the completion of which a con siderable income is anticipated. The total expenses during the six months ending December 31 were 188,4931., against 191,8081. in 1855. In the past year the revenue has been debited with the expense of providing new engines and rebuilding old, and the working number has thus been raised since 1851 from 112 to 124 at the coat of income. Arrange ments arc under consideration with the view of relieving the constantly increasing pressure upon the London-bridge station. The proposed dividend is 3i per cent., making a total distribution for the year of 6 per cent. At a meeting of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire it was stated that the late commercial crisis has not only caused a falling off in the traffic, but has compelled the renewal of debentures at augmented rates •of interest. Complaints were also made of the obstructions offered by the London and North-Western to the new trade between Manchester and London, chiefly in debarring them from the use of the station at Manchester. Au expendi ture of 7,7501. has been necessitated by these ad verse proeeedingq. The dividend declared was cm :Affluent ly at the rate of only 1 per cent. A similar distribution was ordered at the Kendal and Win- dermere ; the revenue account of the pasthalf-year showed an increase of 6731. under the head of passengers, and a decrease of 1,1681. under that of goods compared with the corresponding period of A:856. The falling off in the latter item is chiefly attributable to the practice of the Lancaster and Carlisle carting goods from Oxenholme, instead of forwarding them on the railway waggons to the company's station at KendAl, where extensive ac commodation has been provided, but which is now useless and unprofitable. At a meeting of local shareholders of the Portsmouth it was resolved to continue as an independent company, statements having been circulated that the line was about to be sold to the London and Brighton or South- Western. The East Kent line has been inspected priorto being opened for public traffic. Mr. Brassey is stated to have undertaken the construction of (to Pembroke ?f-otr'eoziste arid Hereford.

DOVER, Sunday.—The extraordinary run of fine weather and smooth sea passages across the channel were interrupted last week by a terrific gale, which, commencing on Wednesday, lasted for three days:. The Belgian Government mail packet Diamond, on returning to Ostend on Wednesday night with the mails, had a very narrow escape. She encountered the whole fury of the storm from N. N. W. to N., and in attempting to enter Ostend, was struck by successive seas, anti was driven into the back of the pier. She, however, backed ber engines out at full speed, and ran for the Scheldt, where she remained uu tit the weather moderated. The English mail,. packet Outline crossed to Dover from Ostend th -, since night in the same weather, and sustained some slight damage to her fore deck house by the striking of a heavy s .f.t. On the same day (Wednes day), the South-Eastern Company's packet, Quern of the Belgians, in crossing from Dover to Calais, washed away her after bulwarks, binnacle, and com pass. On Thursday an English schooner laden with iron was driven ashore tl the westward of Calais pier. Part of the crew, including the master, tried to land, were swamped and drowned ; the re mainder, a man and a boy, were seen lashed to the main rigging. Volunt- era from her Majesty's steam. tender Foreigner, attempted to go out in the life boat to their rescue, but in vain. At length the life-boat was towed out by the South-Eastern packet, but the boat was stove in, and the men were sent over to Dover in the steam vessel, and were sent back again in the mail pack,t Queen, at 11.3 Q p.m., together with Maltby s appara , us. On Friday morning th) two Calais life-boa's having been rendered useless, a life-boat belonging to one of the General Seam Navigation Company's vessels manned by English voluntefts reached the wrecked schooner, and saved the poor fellows, who had been in the rigging twenty-six hours. A dog that was on board the schooner reached the shore alive by swimming through the surf. The English mail service between Dover and Calais, notwithstanding the gales, has beea performed uninterruptedly ; but the B..lgian night mails, via Ostend, have missed four times during the week. The wea.her is now as mild and the sea as smooth as during the passages of the Royal visitors to the happy wed ding. Her Majesty's steam yachts and tenders lying here are the Black Eigle, Master Commander Pe t ley ; Banshee, Master Commander Williams; Fire Queen, Master Commander Paul ; and Vivid, Master Commander Allen. His Majesty the King of • the Belgians is expected to arrive here on Tuesday next to proceed 'via Calais on his return to Brussels. The most zealous respect has been paid to the illustrious Royal personages on em barking at Calais and lauding at Dover, during the last ten days, especially at Calais, where the time of the expected arrival of her Majesty's Royal guests has not been made a fussy or important secret. THE EVACUATION OF ITERAT. The following is, we believe, the only letter which has yet reached England direct from Herat : " C►tadel of Ilerat, Oct. 11, 185 . _ " Here we are at last, alter all the prognostications of the wise ones, and such a reception as I have never seen anywhere. Murray's affairs af, Teheran have never been anything like this, uor have I witnessed such a dis play at any native Court in India. No one could have done more for us than have these poor people, and I _ . . hope earnestly Government will see tho propriety—in deed, the absolute necessity—of doing something r them. All their guns and ammunition have been taken away, their defences destroyed, and half of their popu lation carried away captives ; they are in the most wretched state of misery that you can possibly imagine, and yet here they are, receiving us with open arms, while we make neither promises nor give money, the Persians indulging largely in both. If Government will only pay a reasonable sum, I mean enough to repair the breaches, supply guns, and lay in a store of ammunition, these people will be entirely with us. We have had a very HI march, without once encountering the much dreaded Tooricomans. From Meshed to this, we travelled always by day, and very plea.ant it was, for the cold weather had set in, and we had ice in our basins almost every morning. There were many most picturesque buildings on this route, and the citadel here is splendid. I regret your absence more and more every day. We have no one here for photographic: or other scientific purposes. The place is quite clear of Persian troops, but they have at restored all the prisoners - they are trying to make a distinction between those taken actually in the - act of fighting and those whom they took when the town sur rendered. I can't say how long we remain, but I trust not long, unless Government intend doing the needful regarding defences. We arrived only to-day." THE PRINOK OF WALES AND HIS ANTL.RUSSIANISII. —I heard (from good authority) an anecdote the other day about the Prince of Wales, which, though, only trivial in itself, is rather amusing, and illustrates the b lish strength of his national prejudices. Soon after the conclusion of the late war, this Russian ambassador was to pay a visit to his little princeabip. 11.R.H. w4ts very angry, and intern Med a strong objection to waiting in doors to receive his excellency, of whose race rine country he took the oceasion of expressing his senti ments with some strength. However, as his tutor informed him that it vas the express order of the Queen that he should remain indoors until one o'clock in order to receive the ambassador if he came, the Priuct3 sat down, cap in band, before the clock, eagerly watching the movements of the hands. The moment they pointed to one, on wont the cap, and the youngster dashed out of the room, with an exclamation of dellght. The next minute the Muscovite envoy arrived ! I have nothing to say for the good manners of the affair ; but the sea timent that dictated his behaviour is at any rate not " Germau."—Correspondent of IlfavrTiester Guardian.

Food, in many disorders which, whilst most painful and distressiug in their symptoms, have, at the same time, through their obstinacy and continuity, been inaccessible to medical skill. We have looked over some of the lists of heartfelt testimony to the beneficial effects of this] Food, in , various and complicated stages of disorder, including dye- , pepsia (indigestion), constipation, functional irregularity, obstructions, acidity, cramps, spasms, fits, heartburn, diarrhoea, nervousness, affections of the liver and kidneys, flatulency, distention, palpitation of the heart, nervoils 'head- ache, deafness, noises in the head and ears, giddiness, pahaa between the shoulders and in almost every part of the body, chroaic inflammation and ulceration of the stomach, erup tions on the skin, scurvy, fever, scrofula, impurities, proverty of blood, consumption (if not beyond human aid) dropsy. rheumatism, gout, influenza, grippe, nausea and vomiting during p , eguancy, after eating, or a t sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, paralysis, cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, inquietude, sleeplessness, involuntary blush ing, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for study, delusions, loss of memory, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaustion, melan choly, groundless fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of self-destruction, die. Oue or two examples, from the FIFTY THOUSAND Testimonials received by Messrs. Dee Barry, may be interesting and useful. The Yen, Alex, Stuart, Arch deacon of Ross, informs us that he has been relieved from excessive nervousness, pains in the neck and left arm, general weakness of constitution, and other a intents, rendering his life very miserable." Mr. Hunt, barrister-at-law (a gentle man 85 years old) certifies that he has been radically cured of paralysis of 60 years' standing, as well as of other afflictions ; and after a long life of comparative misery, he gratefully pro tests that ho is now " a stranger to all complaints, except a hearty old age." Major Edie states that, after " having suffered fearfully for two years from an eilargement of the liver, and an inveterate diarrhoea," which had totally defied the most eminent medical aid, and had brought him to the brink of the grave, being unable to lift his arms from perfect exhaustion," he had recourse to the Food, and he then pee o,' to say :—" The result of eating this delicious Food is the , perfect restoration of my health within a month, and I take a peculiar pleasure in recommending all sufferers to follow my example." But to pursue these testimonials would be an end less task. Upon 50,000 authenticated certificates, we have , the " great" and auspicious fact that, for the first time in the history of pathology, an agent has teen discovered which completely effects all that had hitho to been fruitlessly attempted by all the nauseous preparations of the labora• tory, • Not merely in its remedial, but in its preserva tive capacity, as a protector, as well as a -estorer of health, its efficiency is attested by the grateful evidence of those who have had experience in propria persona.—The cir cumstances brought to light in connection with its use as food for infants, shew that whilst it prolongs the lives • ,, thousands of adults, it is calculated to cause many to reach maturity who would Otherwise perish in early childhood ' Altogether, we confess to the pleasing conviction that the extended use, amongst all classes, of Dee Barry's Food, must - produce a marked change for the better in the ave rage v.lue of life, and in the sanitary statistics of our era.
