M- 'LONDON, SATtTIiDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1858 CITY OF LONDON SESSIONS. THE CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST THE MASTER OF BREWER'S SCHOOL. The City of London Sessions commenced this morn ing at the Guildhal, before R. Gurn3y,the Recorder. The grand jury having been sworn, The learned Recorder informed them that their ser vices would only be reqnired for a short time, there being only one eve of a peculiar charac ter to be brought before them—viz , a charge of assault against the Rev. Dr. May, bead master of the Brewers' School, for an assault on one of the boys. The learned gentleman then entered into the nature of the case, as deposed to recently before the Lord Mayor when the charge was preferred, the particulars of which have been so recently reported, as not to need recapitulation. The Grand Jury then retired, and after an absence of about an hour, returned into Court with the indictment ignored. The Recorder said he entirely concurred in the opinion of the Grand Jury. It was one of those cases in which he considered the master had done no more than was necessary to preserve his dignity and maintain the discipline of the school. Tiie Foreman said that 22 out of the 23 forming the Grand Jury voted for the ignoring of the bill. Mr. Bodkin who bad been instructed to defend Dr. May, in the event of his being put upon his trial, said that a large number of the boys who had been educated at the school under Dr. May, and were now pursuing their various avocations in life as well as many who were now at the school were present to have spoken, if necessary to the doctor's uniform kind treatment. They also (as we understood the learned gentleman to say) determined to subscribe together and defray the ea• peaces which the doctor hal been put to. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the prosecutor had no desire to bring the case to that Court. He would have rather it had been decided by the Lord Mayor. The Recorder said it was impossible for the Lord Mayor to have decided it without the doctor had admitted the correctness of the charge. Mr. Alderman Finnis said that if the charge had been preferred before him he should have dismissed it. Mr. Bodkin said that the Court of Assistants met a short time since and came to a resolution expelling,the boy from the school. The doctor then left the court surrounded by his young friends, who cheered him heartily along Guildhall• yard, flourishing triumphantly in the air the cane with which the chastisement was inflicted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. WESTMINSTER. A DESPERATE CHARACITER.—Mary Flynn, a woman of most forbidding appearance, without bonnet or shawl, was charged with wilfully breaking tradesmen's windows. Mr. George Legg, of 102, York-street, Westminster, coffee-house-keeper, said that last evening the defendant, as she was passing, jumped and wilfully dashed her elbow through a pane of glass, the value of which was 21. She was a perfect stranger to him, and she had not been in his shop. Mr. R. Kennett, of the Hoop and Grapes, Broadway, Westminster, said that the defendant came to his house and conducted herself so badly, that he was obliged to put her out. He had no sooner done so than she went round to the other side of his house and broke a pane of glass. Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of her ? Mr. Kennett—She has repeatedlybroken my windows and been in prison. A policeman said that after breaking the window at Mr. Kennett's she ran fleetly, as it seemed, to Mr. Legg's. She was pursued after the second act of damage and given into his custody, when she threw herself down and conducted herself in the most indecent and filthy manner, and the stretcher was sent for to convey her to the hospital. She broke the buckles and straps by her extraordinary violence, and it required six constables to convey her to the station. She had only time out of prison that morning after serving three months for like oonduot. Defendant coolly said that she did not remember anything about it. Mr. Arnold said that hor conduct was most disgrace ful, and committed her to hard labour for six months. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.)

Of late tut little progress has been made in works at the above large structure, as respects the exterior ; but considerable activity has been mani fested in the interior, and the private residences in the north and south wings of the river front are now clearly finished, more especially the mansion (for so we must call it) intended for the official residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons. This residence occupies the whole of the north end of the river front of the building, and extends to what is termed the Speaker's Court, the whole forming in plan a paralltdogram, which measures 100 feet by 85 feet. The entrance is in the Speaker's Court, through an appropriate stone porch. A wide stone staircase leads to the principal floor, where the great reception rooms are arranged, all of which are entered by a corridor, the ceiling of which is groined in stone, the floor paved with Minton's encaustic tiles. This corridor extends round four sides of an inner court, which serves tolight the basement and ground floors. The windows towards the courtare filled with stained glass, containing the armorial bearings of past Speakers of the House of Commons. Entered, as previously stated, from the corridor, are the re ception-rooms, four in number, which comprise three drawing-rooms and a state dining-room, of the following dimensions severally—viz., 33 feet by 23 feet, 37 feet by 21 feet, 33 feet by 23 feet, 45 feet by 23 feet, and all of the uniform height of 20 feet in the clear. Chambers are also fitted up in a similar manner to the rest of the building, but with finishing of a more than ordinary ornate description. The ceilings are panelled and re lieved by gilding and colour. The state dining room has at one of its ends a large panelled recess to contain the sideboard ; below and above por traits of former Speakers of the House. Adjoining to the dining-room is what is termed a serving room, with a lift, hot-plats, &c. The bcd-rooms and domestic portions of the house are on a most extensive scale, and are now progressing very rapidly, with the view to the house being occupied soon after Easter. In the south wing two complete residences are being fitted up for the " Black Rod" and the librarian of the House of Lords. These residences are being arranged with every modern convenience and comfort, but in a much plainer style than the Speaker's house, and are not so near completion. Generally, the building remains in much the same state as it was at the close of the last session, ex• cept that the ponderous castings which are to form the roof of the Victoria Tower are being hoisted to their situations. We may remark that the four turrets at corners of the Victoria Tower are now complete, and have a highly-picturesque effect. The clock and bells have not yet been placed in the clock tower, which, however, is quite ready for their reception.—Building News. THE CITY OF VIENNA.—The demolition of the ram parts of Vienna, and the filling up of the fosses of the fortifications wilt commence in the spring. The ground which will be sold will not have to be paid for imme diately, but on condition that the houses shall be built within five years. The purchasers will have different terms fixed for the payment for the ground, and will also be exempt from taxes for 25 years. The Jews will have a right to build in this new quarter of the Austrian capital. FIRE.—A. large fire took plaoe at Bradford on Tues day night last, causing the destruction of an extensive wool and worsted warehouse and mill, and a valuab'e stock of goods, wool, 60 Jacquard looms and other machinery, &c. The origin of the fire is not known. It broke out at about 10 o'clock at night, and the efforts to check it, although prompt and extensive, were almost unavailing. The premises in which it occurred are known as the Fleece Mills, and are situated on the Thornton-road. They are the property of Mr. J. Booth, of Horton and Rawdou, near Brad ford. They coat about 2,0001., and were insured for 1,8001. The occupiers were five in number—Messrs. I. Booth and Co. ' Mr. John Bottomley, Messrs. Bentham and Wheater, Messrs. Priestley and Clapham, and Mr. W. Isherwood. The property lost belonging to these firms was worth from 8,0013/. to 9,0001., about one-half of which is covered by insurances. STARVATION POINT.—If we cannot with any precision say how long starvation will be in effecting its fatal end, WO can say how much waste is fatal. From the cele brated experiments of Chossat on inanition it appears that death arrives whenever the waste reaches au average pro portion of o'4. That is to say, supposing an animal to weigh 1001 b., it will succumb when its weight is reduced to 60lb. Death may of course ensue before that point is reached, but not be prolonged after it. The average loss which can be suctained is 40 per cent. ; sometimes the loss is greater, especially if the animal be very fat ; thus, in the transactions of the Lint wen Society a case is reported of a fat pig which was buried in 30 feet of chalk for 160 days ; his weight fell iu that period no less than 75 per cent. Curiously enough, as an illustration of what was just said respecling time not being an index, fishes and reptiles were found by Chossat to perish at precisely the same limit of weight am warm-blooded animals, but they required a period of 23 times as long to do it in. Thus, if the experiment be performed of starving a bird and a frog during the warm weather, although botb will perish when their loss of weight reaches 40 per cent., the one will not survive a week, the other will survive 23 weeks.—Blackwood. THE EARTHQUAKE IN THE Two SICILIES.—In the recent eartbquake at Naples a curious circumstance oc curred. At Pertosa a chimney was carrieda distance of nearly 100 feet, and very thick pieces of iron were severed is two, or twisted up, as if by an immense force. Iu addition, large crevices were made in fields and roads, and in the latter they had to be filled up to enable circulation to be re-established. A letter from Sicily, of the 26th ult., gives some curious details as to state of that country. On receiving the news of the earthquake at Naples the inhabitants of the island were seized with the greatest alarm, increased by the threatening aspect which Mount Etna had recently assumed—giving evident symptoms of an approaching eruption. As a loud subterranean noise was reported to have been several times heard, the intendant of the province of Catana, accompanied by some scientific men and engineers, went to the mountain to ascertain the truth or falsehood of the rumour. The result of the visit showed that the fears entertained were without founda- time, and a proclamation to that effect was published, which tended to dissipate the public alarm. THE CHRISTIAN BISHOPS IN TURKEY.—Constantinople journals say that the high dignitaries of the Greek church tmohaed diitvasatepn prerogativesiu advantages abge ( l r eoe the sna to whichieor o due a . une dTthatexe cutionlim eyH document atti-Humayoum, refuse to su b m it t o continue to cause much annoyance to th e P or t e by th e i r insubrnission and their exigencies.

Different councilehave been held at the Porte to examine into the question, but hitherto no satisfactory result has been obtained. We also learn that an incident has just arisen in Servia on the occasion of the consecration of the Bishop of Belgrade. The Servian Government, which has never recognised the nomination of this prelate, although regularly made by the Pope, now consents to do so, but on condition that the consecration shall be made by priests of its own selection. This is a pretension which the bishop refuses to admit, and the result is a difference which the Porte will probably have to arrange diplomatically with the Holy See. WARNING TO BROKERS.—At a Justice of Peace Court, held in Dundee on Monday, says the Courier, a case of rather a novel nature was heard by the presiding justices —viz., Messrs. John Sturrook and W. E. Baxter, M.P. The following are the circumstances of the case :—Chas. Gray, a French polisher, sued Isaac Peterkin, a broker, for ls. 6d., being the value of a pair of worsted stock• Mr, the pursuer's property, alleged to have been ille gally and unwarrantably carried away from his dwell ing-house on the 24th ult., by Flora Bremner or Gray, his wife, and pledged with, or sold to the defendant without the pursuer's knowledge or consent, the defen der well knowing that the party from whom he bought them was the pursuer's wife, and that the stockings which the defender refused to restore to the pursuer were his property. Mr. James Miller, writer, ap peared to support the pursuer's case, and maintained that under the principle of various decisions in the Supreme Court, no wife had any power to sell any property of her husband's without his consent in virtue of her prepositura; and that no consent had been given by the pursuer for the sale of the stockings in question, the sum got for which had been spent on drink. In defence the defender admitted the purchase, but alleged that he was justified in making it. The justices, however, held otherwise, and continued the case till next Court, to afford him an opportunity of restoring the prisoner's property.

The performance of "The Creation" drew an immense concourse to Exeter-hall last night. Mr. Sims Reeves (who, in consequence, we believe, of the multiplicity of his provincial engagements) has not been heard in London for a considerable time, was announced to sing the tenor part ; but the audience were informed, by a notice distributed in the hall, that the committee bad received a medical certificate (of which a copy was given) stating that Mr. Reeves was suffering from a serious attack of illness, by which he was confined •to his room, and utterly unable to appear in public. The committee at the same time, acknowledged Mr..Lockey's reach ness to undertake the music allotted to Mr. Reeves. Mr. Reevescame to town only two days ago, in order to assist at this performance • and we are very sorry to learn that the illness with which he has been suddenly attacked is of a violent and even alarming kind. His absence, however, could not be felt as a great disappointment when his place was filled by such a singer as Mr. Lockey, who, we need scarcely say, sustained his part in a manner which left no thing to be desired. His great air, "In native worth and honour clad," was a performance of ex quisite beauty. The soprano part was sung by Miss Louisa Tinning, this being, we believe, her first ap pearance at the Sacred concerts. She acquitted her , self admirably, and from this time must take a high rank among our Oratorio singers. With a clear, brilliant soprano voice, which is able to sustain the C in alt without effort, she possesses perfect truth of intonation, facile execution, and great energy and feeling. The only thing approaching to a fault which we could observe was the occa sional introduction of embellishment where the com poser's own passages were sufficiently florid already. This was the case in the bravura air, " With ver dure clad the fields appeared," in which she gra tuitously changed a passage very much for the worse, and also made a clumsy cadence where the plain notes would have been much better. Her other great air, "On mighty wings," was an admirable performance in every respect • and she sang the sweet and tender music in the last part, belonging to the character of Eve, with great expression and beauty. The bass part was sung by Mr. Santley, who also appeared for the first time at these concerts, but whose highly successful debut at Mr. Sullah'e concerts at St. Martin's Hall we have already had occasion to record. He was again entirely successful, and is well entitled to a place among our singers of the highest class. Hia education, we understand, has been chiefly Italian, and for the stage ; but he evidently knows how to turn it to good account in applying it to music of a different kind. His voice, though completely bass in its timbre, is free from heaviness, and his "phrasing" has the grace and smoothness of a tenor. His Italian tuition, too, has taught him to speak. We have seldom heard a singer whose elocution was more clear, emphatic, and judicious. The performance was excellent ; and the audience evidently enjoyed with the utmost relish the delicious freshness of an oratorio which, if not the grandest in existence, is certainly the most charming. THE GREAT GLOBE. Another attraction has been added to the many which had already been provided by Mr. Wyld for the gratifi cation and instruction o° the numerous visitors to the Great Globe, in Leicester-square. But a short time since a diorama of Lucknow and Delhi, consisting of five very beautifully executed tableaux, and affording a very striking picture of the mosques and temples, the palaces and mausoleums, with which those cities abound, was presented at this establishment to public view, and drew thousands of spectators. Mr. Wy Id, however, has not been satisfied with this very successful effort- to depict the principal features of a country in which so much of interest at the present moment centres. A new grand diorama of the chief sites and scenes of the great Sepoy rebellion in India, from the mouths of the Ganges to the Himalaya Mountains, has been produced under his auspices, and with marked success. The cities, temples, torts, mountains, and inhabitants of Hindostan are there vividly delineated, and as the several drawings are taken from the original sketches made by competent persons— engaged in the East India Company' service—on the spot, theaccuragy of this illustration of Indian life and scenery, may be relied upon. Among the principal places of in terest which it presents to the view are Calcutta, with its native and European shipping, its native water-carriers and native horsemen ; Cawnpore, with a sketch of the cantonments and entrenchments by moonlight; Agra, Delhi, Lucknow, and Muttra. The history of recent events in those places is briefly and clearly narrated by a lecturer, who points out the most remarkable features embraced in each scene, thus rendering the diorama a medium of gratifying the eye, and of conveying instruction to the mind. The exhibi tion takes place at 3 and 8 o'clock every day, and will well repay a visit. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) COVENT GARDEN.

PARIS.—It is with much satisfaction we are able to state that her Majesty has granted a pension of 1501. per annum to the daughters of the late Dr. Paris. This gracious act of the Sovereign was communicated to the Misses Paris by a letter from Lord Palmerston, forwarded to them through Sir H. Holland. This honourable testimony to the worth of the late Dr. Paris cannot fail to be gratifying to all, especially to men of science and to the medical profession. We have pleasure also in announcing that Mr. Paris, the eldest son of the family, has just received an appointment from Mr. Justice Cresswell, in the new Court of Probate--;an office for which his literary habits render him especially qualified.—Lancd. I WRECK OF TB CATHERINE:ADAMSON , WITH - A LOSS OF 21 LIVES. . _ Early on Saturday morning, Oct. 24, Sydney was thrown into a state of considerable ,Arc4tement and alarm. The lo3s of the ill-fated Dunbar, with so many familiar friends and acquaintances gone in her total wreck, but nine weeks previously, was still fresh to memory and most melancholy to contem plate. And now the Catherine Adamson, the queen ship of _Anglo-colonial vessels, is lost also. We call her the "quee n ship" because she .has beaten all other sailing vessels in her - run home. She left this port on the 26th of last March, and landed her mail on the 68th day , . The time from leaving Sydney on that occasion until her return and fatal disaster was less than seven months. She was on her third voyage, an Aberdeen clipper, of 886 tons, and was commanded from her launoh by Captain Stuart, - a man of great energy and perse verance, and who, we regret to . hear, has lost by this catastrophe the hard earnings of a busy and industrious life. The following is an account of this sad affair : The Catherine Adamson, Aberdeen clipper, 886 tons, was commanded by Capt. Stuart. About 9 , p.m. on Friday, Oct. 28, she was off the Heads, and signalled for a pilot. It was then a moonlight night, sea moderate, and the wind blew down the harbour. Hawkes, the pilot who took charge, endeavoured. .to beat in, bat the ship worked badly, and missed ' stays off the Inner North Head. The anchors were let go, and blue lights burnt, which were seen from the steamer Williams, as she entered the Heade, about midnight. Captain Creer made an attempt to take the ship in tow, but a bard squall and heavy swell setting in from the southward com pelled him to cast of the warp, and the vessel struck. The life-boat was not lowered (the gig having pre viously reached the steamer), and Captain Stuart went away in her, promising to return or get the Williams to approach nearer ; this, however, he did not accomplish, the boat being swamped soon after reaching the steamer, which then bo re away to the opposite side of the harbour, to fetch boats from the pilot station, her own being useless. On her return, the ill-fated Catherine Adamson was nearly broken up, and all souls on board, number ing 21, had perished. The passengers lost were Messrs. Loathes (brother to the Secretary of the Liverpool and London In surance Company), Sydney, Ramsay, the Rev. Jacob Jones, and two servants, with 15 of the crew, including the second officer and pilot, Hawkes. The Rev. Mr. Sbaw, Mr. Blair, Mr. Wilson, and two servants were saved, as were Captain Stuart and the chief officer. The value of the cargo was estimated at 79 , 0001. • The Rev. Jacob Jones, a Congregational minister, had accepted an invitation in connection with the New South Wales Home Missionary Society. He was pastor of the Independent church at Melk sham, near Bath, and for six years was a student at Spring-hill College, Birmingham. Mr. Ramsay was the second brother of Mr. Robert Ramsay, of Darling Downs. Mr. Pilot Hawkes, we regret to say, ha s l e ft a widow and four children. He arrived in this colony the 26th Sept., 1838, as chief officer of the Lady Fitzherbert. Afterwards he commanded several English and colonial vessels, and finally, for the last four or five years, has filled with considerable credit one of the posts of pilot at the Sydney Heads. A coroner's jury, after a protracted inquiry, have returned the following verdict :—" That the deaths of the persons named in this inquiry were caused by an error in judgment displayed by the late Mr. Pilot Hawkes in attempting to bring the . ship Catherine Adamson into harbour during the un favourable state of the weather at the time, and that through that error the lives were lost. The jury would remark that it is their impression that the late Mr. Pilot Hawkes's boat's crew should not have left the ship when they did without the orders of the employer, thereby rendering themselves censurable. They also think that some further efforts should have been made with the lifeboat to save, if possible, more lives of the late passengers and crew, It is with great pl easure th a t t h e jury now ava il themselves of this opportunity of expres sing their high sense of the very praiseworthy manner in which both Captain Creer, of the steamer Williams, and Mr. Pilot Robson acted in rendering their services to aid the Cathez ins Adamson with crew and passengers in distress. "--• Sydney p aper. THE LATE DEATH OCCASIONED BY AN INFURIATED BULL IN THE CITY. MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST THE LIVERY STABLE KEEPER. Last night Mr. William Payne, the coroner, re sumed and concluded an inquest at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, on the body of James Besant, one of the persons who died from injuries received from an infuriated bull on the 18th ult., whilst being driven through the City. At the former sitting of the jury several witnesses stated that the bull ran into a livery-stable in Stonecutter-street, and if it had been allowed to remain until a conveyance was sent for, no harm would have happened ; but that, in spite of all remonstrances, Mr. Child, jun., son of the proprietor of the premises, would insist upon the bull being driven out, and by beating it him self with a stick, assisted by his man, the animal was driven out, and that it afterwards committed the injuries of which this man died. It able in jured other persons. The jury then thought that as very serious charges bad been brought against Mr. Child, he should have an opportunity of hear ing them, and making any statement he chose to rebut them, and the inquiry was adjourned for that purpose. Last night, on the assembling of the jury, a member of the Common Council and resident in the ward was present to watch the case on the part of the widow of the deceased. The Coroner having ascertained that Mr. Child was in attendance, said he would read over the evidence which had been given, so that Mr. Child, if he thought fit, could put any questions to the witnesses as he proceeded. When the evidence of Mr. Fletcher, the master drover, was read over to him, The Coroner said it appeared that only one man was sent with those four bulls, and as the law re quired that one drover should go in front of the cattle, and another behind, he wanted to know bow it was that that provision of the act of Parliament had not been complied with. Mr. Fletcher said he was not aware of any such l a w. His licence allowed 10 oxen to be driven by one man, and here were only four. James Callaghan was then called on behalf of Mr. Child. He said he was in Mr. Child's stable, in Stonecutter-street, when this bull came in. He was standing at the further end `of the ride. The bull entered at one side and went round on the other and tossed up some harness. Mr. Child, jun., was close to the entrance of the ride at the time. There were no policemen there that he saw. He ran inside the stable, and the bull went out. He saw no attempt to stop him. He heard no conversation between the police and Mr. Child. By the Jury—He saw no one strike the bull dur ing any part of the time. Ho did not lose sight of the bull at all, although he was there for ten minutes. There was no altercation between Mr. Child and the policemen. He did not see the bull go out of the large gates. Other evidence having been given, The Coroner then summed up the evidence to the jury, and explained to them that if a person turned a bull out of a place, and that bull committed such injuries as to cause death, that person must be re sponsible ; but if they thought he only did so to prevent injury to persons On his own premises, he had a perfect right to do so ; and although some injury might afterwards ensue, it would be for them to consider whether the case was anything beyond an accident. The jury retired, and after a time they won't to view the stable and premises. On their return, after a short consultation, they returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against John Child." The Coroner asked him if he bad any friends who would be bail for him, or he should have to send him to Newgate. Two of the jury here offered themselves as bail for him and, having been accepted, Mr. Child was liberatk:d. The inquisition was then signed, and the pro ceedings terminated.
