NATAL AND INTELLIGENCB. The Royal Marine Light Infantry being above its required numbers, orders were yesterday received at head-quarters, Chatham, for the standard for recruits to be raised to 5 feet 61 inches, with 32 inches round the chest. Col. H. W. Parke, commandant of the Chatham diviiiol3. of Royal Marine Light Infantry, has re ceived orders to hold in readiness Lieut. F. H. Ruel and 33 non-commissioned officers and men of the division for service on board the Pembroke, 60, now being fitted for the Coastguard service. It is the intention of the authorities at the War office to have the whole of the officers and men be longing to the field equipment corps of the Royal Engineers now stationed at Brompton-barracks, Chatham, removed to Aldershot, where they will be formed into one battalion. The troops belong ing to that branch of the service will proceed from Chatham to Aldershot early in the ensuingmonth. Yesterday morning a detachment of the 19th Re giment, numbering 350 men, left Chatham garrison for Exeter, where they will form the second bat talion of that regiment, which is now being raised. The depot battalion at Parsonstown; Ireland, which has lately consisted of the 62d, 63d, and 76th depots, is to be further augmented by two or more depots. The depot of the 49 th Regiment, consisting of six officers, eight sergeants, three drummers, and 151 rank and file, arrived at Parsonstown on Fri day last. The following officers are attached to the depot—viz., Captains Fitzgerald and Young, Lieu tenants Mackay and Sprott, Ensigns Rogers and Christian. The depot of the 26th Cameronians is daily expected at Parsonstown. The Right Hon. 1. W. Lord Aylmer, C. 8., died on Friday last. His lord s hip was b orn Oct. 12, 1777, and entered the navy Nov. 4, 1790. He served as a lieutenant in the Swiftsure, 74, under Nelson at the Nile, and the subsequent operations on the coast of Italy in 1799, and in the expedition to Egypt in 1801; was captain of the Narcissus, 32, and cap tured two French privateers of force, and com manded a detachment of seamen and marines la n d e d to co-operate with the patriots between Santona and Santander in 1810, on which occasion he had several severe conflicts with the enemy's troops. He was captain of the Severn, 50, at Algiers, which was his last employment, for which he was nomi nated C.B. The insignia of a K.F.M. were also conferred upon him in consideration of his having conveyed to Naples the whole of the emancipatz.d Italian slaves and 359,000 dollars which the Dey of Algiers bad been compelled to return to the King of the Two Sicilies. He was appointed Naval A. D. C. to William IV., Aug. 4, 1830. By his death a pension of 1501. falls to the bestowal of the First Lord of the Admiralty, the conferring of which will cause a promotion upon the Flag-list, and give Capt. the Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8., his flag on the active list. This promotion also causes an Aide-de-Campship to the Queen to revert to the nomination of the Admiralty. The non-commissioned officers of the Royal Ma rine Artillery have just presented Sergeant James Souter, lately discharg ed from that corps , a f ter holding the e ffi ce of enior Laboratory Sergeant for many years, with a superior English timepiece, "sea token of the high esteem in which he was held by his brother officers for the mlnly and upright conduct which ever marked his career as a soldier, and the generous, unvarying exertions to impart instruction in his late office to all who sought it, both in the hours of public service and in his own private time." Colour-Sergeant J. F. Cane, of the same corps, made the presentation i n a so ldi er l y speech, which was acknowledged in appropriate terms by the recipient. Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K.C. 8., proceeded to Osborne yesterday in the steam tender Sprightly, to pay his respects to her Majesty. The Blenheim, 60, Capt. F. Scott, C. 8., is com plete in her rigging, and will leave the dock in a few days. The . Raccon, 21, Capt. Paynter, is having her defects repaired at Spithead. The Marlborough, 131, Captain the Right Hon. Lord F. H. Kerr, flag of Vice-Admiral A. Fan shawe, C. 8., progresses very well with her rigging, notwithstanding the inclement weather. She has entered more than half her crew. The establishment of a soldiers' institute at Woolwich having been recentlylproposed by Major- Gen. Sir W. F. Williams, at a general meeting of the officers of the garrison, the undertaking, under military direction, was abandoned for want of a sufficient number of patrons, and the arrangements, although somewhat advanced, were not completed. A few weeks ago Eome gentlemen residing in the neighbourhood resolved on carrying out the Gene ral's proposition, and at once established a commit tee of their own body, appointing the Rev. Wm. Ackworth, vicar of Plumatead, their treasurer, Mr. W. Angerstein, secretary, and the London and County Bank to receive contributions. The house, No. 31, Francis-street, fronting the Royal Marine barracks, engaged for the purpose, having been guaranteed by the committee for a stipulated term, has been placed in requisite order, and fitted throughout with suitable accommodation for read ing, obtaining refreshment on the most reasonable terms, and of indulging in various amusements, as far as the limits of the establishment will admit. A retired non-commissioned officer of the Artillery has been appointed to superintend the arrange ments, and already numbers of names are entered as subscribers. The advantages of such an institu tion in the garrison town of Woolwich are mani fold, and particularly to the unmarried soldier, who has had hitherto no place but the public-house where he could enjoy the privilege of a visit from his friends and relatives. The paddlewheel steam vessel Banshe?, in Wool wich-basin, was yesterday put under a trial of her machinery after repairs, and is ordered to be placed in the steam reserve. Her Majesty's steamsloop Prometheus, at Woolwich, having undergone thorough repairs, is ordered to be brought forward for commission. MALTA, MARCH 3. Her-Majesty's ship Vulcan leaves for England to-morrow morning. She landed the 2d battalion 2d Queen's Royals at Fort Manoel.

ANNULAR ECLIPSE OF THE SON, 1858. MARCH 15. 14. At the breaking up of the annulus, look for Baily's beads as before. 15. Do not attempt any record during or near the annularity, Endeavour to impress observations on your memory as well as you can. If you have an assistant seated at your table with a chrono meter and writing materials, you may give him signals for the register of time, but you must con nect the phenomena with the time afterwards. 16. A good sextant observer may obtain valuable observations for correction of the lunar tables, by measuring the intervals between the points of the bright cusps. The observations will require great nerve, and will be difficult, but where most diffi cult they will be most valuable. 17. It seems doubtful whether any valid photo graphic record can be made, on account of the ex treme rapidity of the change of appearances. Thus, in the neighbourhood of Loudon the line of cusps will change from the vertical to the horizontal posi tion in about three minutes of time. 18. If you have a doubly refracting prism it will be desirable to make observations on the polarisa tion of the light from the sun's limb. For this pur pose when the lune i s narrow , p l ace t h e pr i sm so tosa : separate the two images transversely to the limb, and remark which image is brighter. Turn the prism 180 deg. round the visual ray, and re peat the observation. Remark carefully the posi tions of the prism. The prism mv be used with the naked eye er with the telescope, according to the amount of its angular separation of images, 111. — METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. 19. Fur change in intensity of solar radiation, observations with the actinemeter or the black bulb thermometer should be kept up during the eclipse. The latter are most trustworthy when the bulb is inclosed in an exhausted glass sphere. 20. The barometer should be repeatedly observed. 21. The thermometer should be frequently ob served, and the general feelings of cold should be I noted. 22. Observations of humidity are very impor tant. They should be made by the use either of Daniell's dew-point instrument or of the wet-bulb kl- fiermometer. March 8. G. B. AIRY. THE SPY SYSTEM IN PARIS. The following is from a letter published in the Glasgow Daily Mail of Monday : " Sir,—May I ask the publicity of your columns for a brief account of some incidents which have happened in Paris, where I have been residing for nearly seven years t "I was sauntering yesterday afternoon with a friend in the Champs Elysees. The aspect of this noble promenade was sadly changed. The benches upon which the Parisians usually sit in the sun were all deserted. Loungers of all nations make the Champs Elysees ordinarily a sort of living and mov ing ethnological museum ; but yesterday the most notable figures were a number of new and sinister faces, some of whom might have been taken for miserable, and some of them for genteel beggars. I observed them trying to overhear the conversa tion of myself and my friend, which happened to be only about the French taste in horses and equip ages. Looking at a shabby little individual, I said to my friend, but not loud en Yugh to be heard, That is a spy ;' and my friend exclaimed, What a v.llanous face !' While we were looking at him, he came up to me, and addressing me in Italian, obsequiously begged a few oboli,' •r small coins. Turning to my friend, I said in French, ' I believe he is a beggar.' When I put my hand to my pocket to give him an alms, the spy seized me by the left arm, and told me that I was an Italian, and he was an ' In.spettore.' I said, 'So I thought.' Ile told me he desired a little conversation with me, and that I must go with him to the commissary of police. My friend, believing I was talking with a beggar, was looking at the carriages, when I called out to bim, lam arrested !' The inspector said my friend must come as well. On our way to the office of the commissary, the excited little in spector told me I spoke Italian, and was an Italian, and that it was useless for me to deny it. The inspector then commenced a formal interrogation. ' What is your name?' I gave him my card. 6 You are an Italian. You understand Italian. What are you doing in Paris ?' 6 I will ans wer that ques tion to Monsieur the Commissary.' Ah ! well, you refuse to tell what you are Seeing me arrested, and held by the arm, several elderly gentlemen and ladies darted at me looks of terror and horror. Iu the office of the commissary the inspector said he could not believe my card, because myself and my friend were walking with an air suspect,' or in a suspicious manner. Moreover, I knew he belonged to the police. This correct guess seemed to have given him great offence. Now, to avoid detecting spies is difficult, for they disp'ay what they are by the insolent gleams of conscious power always dart ing from their eyes. The secretary of the commis sary, fortunately for me, answered he was sure, and would answer for it, that I was not an Italian, but an Englishman long resident in the neighbourhood ; but he turned to my friend, and said, And you, sir, of what nation are you 1' The suddenness of the question taking my friend aback, I was obliged to answer fur Monsieur is a Russian.' The inspector then said to me, I beg pardon.'

As the eclipse advances, it is desirable to ob tain some notion or measure of the degree of dark ness. 2. At what distance from the eye can a book or paper, exhibiting type of different sizes, be read ? 3. Hold up a lighted candle nearly between the sun and your eye. At how many sun-breadths' dis tance from the sun can the flame be seen ? 4. If you are in an elevated position, remark the changes of colour and appearance of the surround ing objects in the landscape? 5. If you see spots of light formed by the inter secting shadows of the boughs of trees, remark whe ther they exhibit the luneform of the sun. 6. When the annulus is formed, you w ill probably observe it with a darkened glass ; but you are particularly requested to devote one instant (as early as possible) to the verification of this point— namely, When the annular sun is viewed with the naked eye, does it appear an annulus or a fully illu minated disc ? lI.—OPTICAL, ASTRONOMICAL, AND SOLAR- PHYSICAL OBSERVATIONS, REQUIRING THE USE OF INSTRU MENTS. 7. As the eclipse advances, estimate (on the image soon in the telescope) the comparative intensity of the sun's light near the centre of his disc and near his limb. 8. For the more critical observations, it is desi rable that the power of your telescope should be so low as to give you an easy view of the whole breadth of the sun. 9. Remark irregularities on the moon's limb. 10. As the cusps become very sharp, remark whether they are irregular. For this, and for all the observations near the annular phase, it is necessary that you be provided either with a graduated pris matic shade, or with a succession of shades of dif ferent intensity, and that you instantly select the shade which is most agreeable to your eye. 11. Remark whether the sun's light extends be yond the intersection of the limbs of sun and moon, so as to make the moon's limb visible beyond that intersection. For this purpose the bright parts of the sun must be put out of the field of view, and the shade must be withdrawn. 12. As the annualarity approaches and is formed, remark whether Baily's beads and strings are formed ; whether first formed at points correspond ing to large inequalities of the moon's limb ; whe ther they surround the moon ; how they form and break. Only an instant can be given to this obser vation. It is of the utmost importance to be assured that your vision at the instant immediately preced ing, especially of the moon's inequalities, is very distinct. 13. Remark, as one of the most important obser vations of the eclipse, whether any red flames are seen on the sun's limb. For this purpose you must withdraw the shade, if you are on the annular track, the instant after formation of the annulus ; if you are not on the annular track, as soon as the eye can bear the sun. On the annular track the whole line must be rapidly scrutinised ; and when the ring breaks, the still-illuminated part must be put out of the field, and the moon's dark limb must be sur veyed. At places not on th e annu l ar t rac k, thi s plan (namely, to exclude the illuminated portion of the disc from the field, and to survey the moon's dark limb) must be followed throughout. It seems not improbable that 'the best chance of seeing red flames will be obtained at places not on the annular track. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BETTING AT MANCHESTER,—TIIESDAY.

(From the Report of ad Registrar General.) The returns for last week (which ended Satur day, March 6) show a considerable increase of mortality, an effect which the remarkable coldness of the weather on several days could hardly fail to produce. The deaths in London, which were about 1,280 weekly in the latter half of February, rose last week to 1,353, of which 694 were deaths of men and boys, 659 those of women and girls. In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,175, but as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population, it is necessary to compare them with the average, when the latter has been raised in proportion to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,293. Hence it appears that the deaths now returned are 60 ix excess of the number which would have occurred under the average rate of mortality. The births of last week exceed the deaths in the same periods by 291. Of the five classes into which the causes of death are distributed, only one, namely, " local diseases," is found to produce the excess above mentioned ; and amongst local diseases the increase is due to those whioh affect the orgaua of respiration. Under this last head, comprising chiefly bronchitis and pneumonia, 395 deaths are classed, which the cor rected average is not more than 283. The only corresponding weeks in which nearly equal or greater numbers under this head are found, are those of 1853 and 1855, when during or immediately after low temperature of the air the deaths from pulmonary diseases were 388 and 433, Bronchitis was fatal last week in 243 cases (the average being 140) ; pneumonia in 123 cases (the average being 96). Influenza was specified as the cause of death in only 4 cases; fatal cases of whooping-cough rose to 59. From pthisis (or con sumption) 146 persona died ; its mortality was not aggravated by the cold, for the number was exactly the same as that of the previous week, and is scarcely equal to the average. In the sub-district of Lambeth Church (2d part), two children died of whooping-cough in a family at 3, Neville-street ; and on the Ist and 3d inst. two children of typhus in a family at 50, Park-street. Four children have died since the 25th ult. of mea sles in the workhouse at Norwood, besides one from chickex -pox, and one from pyemia. Five children died of measles in the sub-district of Poplar ; seven of whooping-cough in St. Paul, St. George-in-the- East. "Diphtheria" is returned in seven instances. One person died of destitution. Last week the births of 869 boys and 775 girls, in all 1,644 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the yearslB4B-57 the average number was 1,676. Dr. R. D. Thomson, of St. Thomas's Hospital, has found the composition of the waters supplied by the principal metropolitan water companies during the month of February as follows, in grains per imperial gallon : Total Organio Impurity.

The Plumstead water was procured direct from the works, after being softened by Dr. Clark's process. The water is derived from a well sunk in the chalk, which now yields 1} millions of gallons of water daily. As sent from the works, it is much softer than any other London company's water. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 22.69 in. on Sunday (the 28th ult.) ; the lowest was 28.88 in., and occurred on Saturday. The mean tem perature of the air in the week was 31.5 deg., which is 8.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average throughout the week, and it has been below the average on every day with the exception of February 13, during the whole period from Feb. 6 to March 6. Last week the extent of this de pression was mire than 10 deg. on Monday, Tues day, and Wednesday. The highest point attained by the thermometer was 43 deg. on Thursday ; the lowest was 25 . 3 deg. on Sunday. The mean daily range of temperature was 11.1 deg. ; on Wednesday the range was 6.5 deg. ; on the following day it was 17.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 6 dos. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 35.2 deg., nearly 4 deg. higher than that of the air. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 79; on Thursday the humidity was only 64. On six days the wind blew from a north-easterly point. The rain or melted snow measured was 0.45 in., most of which fell on Wednesday. Snow fell on four days ; on Wednesday it fell to thedepth of 5 inches. Companies.

Those turfites who w, snt on a wild-goose chase to Liverpool last week gait led little bytheirexperience, for, despite the frost an .d snow, they repeated the same expedition to Dot icaster yesterday, and their pursuit of sport under difficulties was attended by disappointment. The races are postponed until Friday and Saturday nest, and report states that the Thirsk meeting and the Brixworth ',Steeple chases will also be put off until the weather be crimes more propitious. On reaching Peterborough the fact of the Don caster meeting being postponed was announced to those persons who had left London by the 9.15 a. m. express train, and much dissatisfaction was expressed because the race officials had not sent through the proper quarter to London an account of the state of the ground and the impracticability of holding the meeting. The announcement might just as well have been made on Monday night as on Tuesday morning. We traversed a portion of the course, and in parts the snow was many inches deep. The day was clear and sunny, and a rapid thaw seemed to have set in ; but the air was frosty, and no prospect was presented of a favourable change in the weather. Although in accordance with the conditions the meeting is formally postponed from day to day, yet a probability exists that the sport will not take place at all this week. Indeed, we believe that the race committee met on Monday to take into con sideration of abandoning the meeting altogether, but they could not, of course, carry out their inten tions. Many horses that have arrived to fulfil their engagements have been sent home again, and the visitors returned to town by the afternoon trains. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,- Alarch 9. GUILDHALL.—Francis O'lteily was charged with assaulting his wife. In this case the wife complained that the prisoner commenced ill-using her within a month after her marriage, and his brutality for a long time was such that she was at length obliged to leave him. On Mond a y wee k l ast she had been seeking him, and when she , returned she found him at home drunk, and upon asking her for money he struck her on the head, and knocked her down three tunes and there left her. On Thursday he watched her from her work, and on arriving in Chancery -lane he gave her such a violent blow between the eyes that on being taken to a surgeon's she fainted from loss of blood, and was afterwards conveyed to the hospital where she was attended to. She said she worked at the sewing machine, and had been obliged, for some time, to keep her husband, who was a costermonger, but he did not bring her home any money. On Saturday last the pris oner h a d threatened her life, and said he would kill her at once, as he did not mind hanging for it. She was afraid to live with him, and asked for a divorce. Sir George Carroll said he understood the pri soner was charged here, about 18 months ago, with s annoying trongly the complainant's parents, and that th e y opposed her wish to marry the prisone r , and notwithstanding that, and th e mag i strate ' s re commendation, she had linked herself for life with the prisoner, and this was the fruits of her dis obedience. However, the prisoner had behaved with great cruelty to her, and he, therefore, com mitted him for two months, with hard labour, and required him to give security in 201. to keep the peace for a further term of four months.

EXCISRIBLE LIQUORS WITHOUT A LICENSE. —William Hilkins, a person living at a private house, 18, Elizabeth-place, Waterloo-road, appeared before Mr. Elliott to ar slyer a summons, taken out against him by order of the Commissioners of Police, and charging him with selling certaiu exciseablo liquors by retail, to be drunk on the premises, without being duly licensed so to do.

(Before Mr. Justice Coleridge.) Ann Sharp, 21, domestic servant, stood indicted with having wilfully murdered her female illegiti mate child, at Pinchbeck Fen, on the 28th Nov. last. She was also charged with the same offence upon the coroner's inquisition. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr W. M.P., app eare d f or th e pro secution Stephens was as s i gne d b y the Coart counsel for the prisoner, sh e b e i ng undefended. W : r .. Adams, Mr. Adams, after briefly narrating the facts of the case to the jury, called Mre. Sirnson, in whose service the prisoner was at the time of her confine ment. Witness deposed that on the 28th of Nov. last she found a child in the prisoner's box with a list garter tied tightly round its neck, and that the prisoner said it was hers. It appeared to have been strangled. Dr. Morris was sent for. Prisoner wanted the child to be buried and nothing said about it. She (the prisoner) told witness the child had cried. Ann Wyers, another witness, corroborated this evidence, but did not recollect hearing prisoner tell Mrs. Simson the child had cried, but the prisoner told her she had tied the garter round the child's neck because it was alive. The jury, after having been locked up for some time, returned into the court with a verdict of manslaughter against the prisoner. Sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude. MANSION-HOUSE.-IVlessrs. Ellis and Fick ling, shipbrokers and emigration agents, of 132, Leadenhall-street, appeared before the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman Wire, on a summons obtained against them by Frederick Pearce, for a breach of the 01st section of the Passengers' Act, 1855. Frederick Pearce, the complainant, deposed that in the month of October he went to defendants' office, an d paid 120/. for the passages of himself, wife, son, and daughter to Melbourne, in the Wind sor. The vessel quitted dock on the 2d of Novem ber, and put to sea on the sth, having 29 passengers on board. On the Ist of December the vessel was wrecked in broad daylight, on the island of Buena Vista, complainant losing his clothes, money, and inescaping to the s h ore on l y i n h i s shirt and r 'it' seg and then having 30 mil es to wa lk , over the mount a ins, to Port Sal Rey, and being for warded to Southampton by the British Vice- Consul. Since his arrival in England he had been unable to see the owners; but he had repeatedly applied to the captain and the defendants for sus tenance-money and a passage out by another ship, but without effect. When he paid his passage money he received no contract-ticket, but only a receipt. Ou cross-examination, the witness stated that he and about 20 other passengers messed with the cap tain, and were all cabin passengers, while there ware four or passengers who messed by themselves, and ho admitt e d t h at he had the full space provided by act of Parli ament. Mr. Bodkin, at some length, contended that the case could not be sustained, inasmuch as the act only provided that the contract ticket should be given to cabin passengers in a passenger ship, because she did not carry more than 30 passengers, and had been passed, after inspection, as a non-pas senger ship by the emigration agent. He called Captain Westbrooke, R.N., assistant-emigration officer of the Port of London, who deposed that he visited the ship before she sailed, and passed her as a non-passenger ship, as she had only six steerage passengers on board. Wm. Gold, captain of the Windsor, also deposed that he took out altogether 28 or 29 passengers, o f whom onl y s i x were steerage passengers, who were duly pro vi d ed with contract tickets. On completing a prima facie case, an order was taken by consent, for payment forthwith to com plainant, by defenda n t s , of 1201., the amount of hi s passage money, an d Si. ss. costs, it being under stood that the case should be argued as speedily as possible before a judge in chambers ; that mean while, defendants should make arrangements for maintaining complainant and the other passengers ; and that the decision of the judge should be held to apply equaly to the case of the other passengers as well as to the present complainant. stable, went to the house of the defendant, and being both in plain clothes at the time they were at once admitted. At that time there were 10 men there drinking and smoking, and as many as six mugs of beer before them. Witness and his com panion were also served with the beer they called for, and they stopped there as long as an hour, during which time there were as many as 28 per sons came in and went out, all of whom had been served with beer awl gin. Ile counted as many as nine pots of beer brought from a cask in a back room, and about five pints of gin, and for the former sd. per pot was charged, and for the latter, 5d a quay tern. Mr.Elliott—What time was this ? Witness—Between eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon, your worship ; during church hours. Mr. Elliott (to the defendant)—Well, what have you got to say to this charge—this wholesale charge of selling exciseable liquoas without a licen ce ? Defendant—l cannot say that lam not guilty, your worship, but these officers were in disguise, and got in by using a false name. An inspector of police here informed the magis trate that from information which had reached the force, there was every reason to believe that the prisoner had for some time past carried on an ex tensive sale of beer and spirits, and that the per sons assembled there were persons of not reputable character. Indeed the person whose name was said to be used by the constables as a means of getting into the house was a returned transport. The person alluded to by the inspector here came forward, and begged to be heard by the magis•rate. He said it was true that he had "got into trouble." and Was out on leave ; but since his return ho bad used every means in his power to get an honest living. His friends had enabled him to get into a beer-house, bat the police did everything to annoy him. The last act of their annoyance was to use his name to get into the house of the defendant ; and since that time he was continually taunted by the defendant's friends and neighbours with sending the police to his house for the purpose of injuring him, when, in point of fact, he had nothing whatever to do with it. The defendant said he was out of employment and in bad health, and the persons who came to hie house were friends, who did so with a view of benefiting him. Mr. Ellictt remarked that it was quite evident he had carried on his illicit trade to a considerable extent ; and for that offence he might have con victed him in a penalty of 201. ; however, as it was his first known offence, he should mitigate that sum to 6/. ' and that sum h e must pay, or in default be committed to prison fcr one mouth. --- WANDSWORTH. —THE CURIOUS CHARGE OF ROBBERY BY LODGERS. —James Page, and his wife, Anne Page, wore brought before Mr. Ingham, on remand, charged with being concerned in stealing money from a box kept in the bedroom of their landlord, Henry Mason, a gardener, of No. 1, Point Pleasant, Wandsworth. In this case the prosecutor had missed 2/. from the money -box on thelBth of Feb. last, which in duced him to mark some more and place it in the box on Sunday, the 28th ult. When his wife went to chapel in the evening she locked him in a cup board near the bedroom door. He saw the female prisoner enter his room, take away the mo ne y-b ox and then re t urn it. She afterwards came up again and dropped something into the box, which was no doubt the money she had taken out, upon dis covering it marked. The male prisoner was down stairs, but it was not clearly shown that he was a participator. When the box was opened, three halfpence were missed, which turned out to be un marked money. The prisoners denied the robbery, and Mr. Ingham discharged the husband, and sen tenced the wife to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. T HAME S. —INGRATIT UDE AND ROBBERY.--.WM. Sorby, a boy, aged 12 years, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on r e m an d, charged with stealing a sil ver watch, value 51., the property of John Morgan Slowsen, a baker, in Whitechapel. It appeared that ihe prosecutor, a humane man, was passing along a street near his own home, a few days ago, when the prisoner accosted him ‘ and solicited alms. The baker relieved him, and hear ing he was in want of a home, took him to his own house, and shielded him from the inclemency of the weather by allowing him to sleep on the shav ings in his bakehouse. On the following morning the baker provided the boy with a broom, and re commended him to select a street crossing, and pick up what halfpence he could. The baker also promised the boy, if he behaved well and was in dustrious, he would do something more for him. The prisoner was provided with a she]) er and bread nightly for a week. One night the baker left the prisoner in the bakehouse for a short time, while tie went out upon an errand, and upon his return the boy was gone, and a watch he had left sus pended to a nail was missing. The police were informed of the robbery, and a City of London policeman traced the prisoner, and found the watch in possession of a potman, to whom it had been sold for 6s. The watch was produced and identified. Mr Se1(0 condemned the conduct of the party who had purchased it of a boy so much below its value. The mother of the prisoner said her son was a very bad boy, and she bad put him into a reforma tory at Whitechapel, and paid 2s. 6d. per week for him ; but be had twice escaped from it, and given her much trouble. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was not only a bad boy, but a very ungrateful one ; and he should stop his career of wickedness for a long time, and send him first to a prison, and. afterwards to a reformatory school, from which he could not escape. A more ungrateful lad than the prisoner he had never met with. He convicted him of larceny, and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and at the expiration of his imprisonment to be detained in a reformatory school to be here after named for four years, From the London Gazette of Last Night WHITEHALL, MARCH 6.

SUPPOSED INFANTICIDE. _ Yesterday Mr. Wakley held two inquiries at Camden-town, the first at the Devonshire Arms, Hartland-terrace ; and the second at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, into the circumstances attending the deaths of two newly-born female children. In the case held at the Elei,hant and Castle, it appeared that the deceased's remains were dis covered in a perfectly naked condition on a dust heap, at the back of 27, Btill-place, Somers-town. The body was that of a very fine child, weighing nearly nine pounds, and being of the full growth. The medical testimony of Mr. W. T. Coster, senior surgeon at the St. Pancras Workhouse, clearly proved that the poor littlecreature had lived, and breathed freely. The right jaw was broken, and the appearance of the internal organs showed strong evidence of the child having been killed by suffocation. The coroner briefly summed up, commenting upon the painful character of such cases, and the jury recorded a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." In thi investigation held at tb e Devonshire Arms, a the deceased's remains were found en ve l ope d in piece of brown •paper, in the front garden of 2, Clarence-road, Kentish Town, and the body w as al , o that of a well-developed healthy-looking child. Mr. Coster, in his evidence, said that the post mortem examination resulted in his coming to the conclusion that the child had breathed ; but he could not positively state whether it had bad sepa rate existence from the mother, or what was the precise cause of death. - Police-constable Woodbridge, 306 S, who found tho body, produced the brown paper in which the body had been wrapped, as also a slip of paper with certain initials thereon, which led the coroner to remark that this might bs the means of Identifying the guilty party or parties ccucerned at a future Upon the suggestion of the coroner the jury re turned an open verdict, thereby leaving the matter open for further investigation. The inquiry had hardly closed, when, through the initials on the slip of paper alluded to, the de ceased's mother, a young woman residing in the neighbourhood, was traced, and the coroner at once ordered her arrest. - _ A BOT AND !Tonsil DROWNED IN TRH REGENT'S CANAL. —Yesterday, a long inquiry took plice at the Elephant and Castle, Ring's-road, Camden Town, before Mr. Wakley, coroner for West Middlesex, on view of the body of John Fisher, aged 13, who was drowned in the Regent's Canal, under circumstances of a very singular and rne'ancholy nature. It appeared from the evidence that the father of the deceased was a boatman employed by the Regent's Canal Company, and the deceased was in the habit, under the directions of his father, of taking the horses to water. About one o'clock on the morning of the 27th ultimo, the deceased left Cooper's Whart, Great College-street, Camden Town, to take a horse to the stables, which are close to the banks of the canal. The boy did not return. The horse was discovered the next morning, but the body of the deceased was not B ANKRUPTCIES ANNULLED. found until last Sunday.

The whole range of the east and north-east coast was visited early on Monday morning by one of the heaviest gales trom the north-west that has been experienced for some time. IL commenced shortly after midnight, and gr dually increased in violence until three o'clock, when it blew with the force of almost a hurricane, accompanied by heavy falls of snow and hail. A sad list of casualties has been reported at Lloyd's. In the vicinity of Cromer, off the coast and inland, the gale appears to have been most destruc tive in its consequences. In the liitle port of Wells the roofs'and chimneys of several of the warehouses and other buildings were blown off. During the height of the storm the schooner Jane, belonging to Ipswich, was driven ashore a.; Mundtsley, a few miles to the northward of Haishro', and unhappily to relate, every soul belonging to her perished. The ship speedily went to p ecee A large fleet of disabled vessels, 80310 with masts and spars or bul warks carried away, or with loss of ancho s and chains, ran or were assisted into Harwich, Lowe stoft, and Yarmouth. Tht re five vessels were lost in collisions. Some five miles off the Dudgeon, the snow falling heavily, the schooner Yarsa, Captain Breesy, of Exeter, came in contact with the Iron master screw steamer, from London to Middlebro', and the former shortly sank. The crew succeeded in sticking to the boats, and wore picked up by the steamer. The schooner was on a voyage to the River Plate. Another collision took place off Has bro', between the schooner Quicksilver, of Sunder land, and the brig Jane, of the same port. The f schooner lost both masts. Her crew providentially reached the Jane. It is supposed that she shortly afterwards foundered. The Quicksilver was bound to the Thames, coal laden. The third mishap befel the brig Stag, Captain Doxford, bound to London from the Tyne. Near South wold she came in col lision with a brig, and speedily filled. This crew were also happily preserved. They got on board the vessel which came foul with them, and were landed near Lowestoft. Very heavy weather was also experienced beyond Flamborougli Head, towards the Tyne. • l‘fAucir 8.
