COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE ALFRED PENNY. This bankrupt was described as of Lloyds' Coffee-house, &c., underwriter, engineer, and coal merchant, and to•day was appointed for his last examination. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Robinson, Nicholls, and Co., Old Jewry-chambers, shows—Dr.: To creditors on underwriting account, 4239 ; to ditto holding security, £1,750 ; capital Ist Jan., 1860, £3,774 ; profits (exclusive of underwriting account), £484; premiums on policies, £35,104. Cr.: On underwriting account, £4,793 ; gene ral account, £424 ; property, £375 18s. ; ditto in the hands of creditors, £1,642; by bond and judgment satis fied, £2,760 ; losses on underwriting account, £32,982 Ss. ; losses on general business and on realisation of property, £1,675 ; discount on underwriting account, £1,758; expenses—underwriting, £1,034; house and per sonal, £416 ; law, £57. The accounts were of a complicated nature, through the different transactions in whici the bankrupt had been engaged. For many years past no fire has occurred in the metropolis involving greater loss of valuable pro perty and materials of various kinds, especially food, than that which destroyed in little more than a couple of hours on Friday, at the dead of night, the huge fabric known as the West Kent Wharf, near London-bridge, with nearly the whole of its multifarious contents. The edifice, six stories high, exclusive of an extensive area of cellarage, and having a spacious frontage abutting upon the Thames, was a vast magazine filled from top to bot tom with provisions and commodities, including corn, wool, feathers, seeds, jute, butter, bacon, cheese, flour, and the like. Most of its contents belonged to brokers and merchants who were in sured against loss by what are called floating policies, representing in this instance in the aggre gate an almost fabulous sum. The principal of these was on the wool stored in the building, of which there is said to have been about 600 bales, valued at from £15,000 to £20,000, and which is only about a tithe of the quantity of that article housed in this particular wharf a few weeks ago. The greater part of it belonged to the firms of Jacomb and Son; Brown, Eagle, and Co.; and Brown, Duane, Salmon, and Co.; all of them ex tensive woolstaplers. Over and above floating policies, upwards of £15,000 was insured on the stock by Messrs. Hartley, the occupiers of the wharf which has been destroyed, and above £lB,OOO on the building itself. The chief offices in which the insurances were effected were the Sun, the Royal Liverpool, the Union, the London and Liver pool, and the Globe, most of which have had offi cers at the scene of the fire, yesterday and on Saturday, superintending the disposal of the sal vage and wreck which choke up the ground-floor and lower stories of the building in a mass of hopeless confusion. Some considerable part of the contents, consisting mostly of feathers, butter, and bacon, are said not to have been insured at all, and the consequent loss will fall heavily on individuals. In the little dock or creek of St. Mary's Overy, which separated the building from the adjacent property on the west, three barges laden with provision and mer chandise, one of then with tea, were literally sunk by the falling masses of corn which poured from the windows during the conflagration. By little less than a miracle the long range of storehouses, known as Hibernia-wharf, belonging to Alderman Humphery, and immediately adjoining the build ing which has perished, survive wholly uninjured the destruction which at one time seemed inevit able. The fire, in fact, ended in the edifice in which it originated, scorching only besides a few houses on the opposite side of the creek. It originated, beyond question, in the lighting of a gas burner by a man employed on the premises, in a large room on the ground floor, in which a quantity of jute was stored. The books of Messrs. Hartley were saved, by which they were enabled to estimate the loss sustained by themselves and their customers. An adjournment was taken by consent, to afford the assignees an opportunity of investigating the accounts. IN RE MILNER. This bankrupt was described as of Pierrepont-placa, Islington, and today was appointed for his last examination. This was another of the numerous failures resulting from those more serious ones and creating a panic in the leather trade. The debts in this case are stated by Messrs. Paul and Turner at £1,470 ; assets, good debts, £ll6 ; cash, £25 ; doubtful debts, £BO ; property, £800; liabilities, £2,781, which appear to be principally on bills transactions with Hooper and Parkinson, the extensive leather-factors, who failed, and whose case has been previously noticed. SIIERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr and a Jury.) HOTSON V. BROWNE-NEWSPAPER AND PERIODICAL PROPRIETORS-IMPORTANT DECISION. This was an action to recover £42 for advertisements in serted in Hotson's "Local Railway Time Tables." Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Layton, instructed by Mr. Cooke, for the defendant, the well known patent agent of King William-street. It appeared on the part of the plaintiff that he has seven local railway time tables (one for each of the seven great railways), issued monthly, and a person called " Dr. Miller," who acts as a general advertisement collector, brought him an order from defendant for " two squares" in the periodical, the sum to be 10s. for each monthly book. Mr. Joyce said that these words were plain and explicit, and surely each " monthly book" meant the seven. Defendant found that he was charged £3 10s. for one month, and had given plaintiff notice not to insert any more, but his honour would tell defendant that his notice would not annul the contract. Mr. Hotson said that Miller was not his agent. He was a general agent, and collected for other periodicals than plaintiff's. Plaintiff paid him commission, varying with the value of the orders. Plaintiff had refused some of Miller's orders. Mr. Lawton cross-examined plaintiff with a view to showing that Miller was his agent, and that he was respon sible for any representations Miller might have made. His Honour was of opinion that Mr. Hotson could not be made responsible for the representations of a casual adver tisement collector. It would be a very nice thing, for in stance, if newspaper proprietors were made responsible for all the promises made by the persons who supply them with collected advertisements. Mr. Laxton called defendant, who was not allowed to state what passed between himself and Milller. Mr. Joyce objected, and his Honour ruled that agency had not been shown. Mr. Laxton then contended that the words "in each monthly book" meant the whole series. There ►ere seven editions of one work, and defendant never thought he was to be charged for each edition. Mr. Joyce said the order was clear and explicit. His Honour then ruled to the jury that when an order is given to insert advertisements for one year, an order to discontinue would be of no avail in answer to the claim; and, secondly, that "each monthly book" meant " each," and so plaintiff must have a ♦erdict. Mr. Laxton said his client would appeal. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.) (Before Mr. Payne.) James Donovan was found guilty of stealing a silver watch from the waistcoat pocket of Mr. George Wilson, superintendent of the ragged school, Westminster, at the Eastern Counties Railway station, on the 6th of August last, and was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. William Elliot was indicted for attempting to break into the house of Mr. Robert Godolph Long, surgeon, No. 14, Clement-street, Strand, on the 9th of August last. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to two y e ars' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. John Readbury was charged with breaking into the house of Mr. William Hockin, Devonshire-terrace,Victoria park• road, and stealing several articles of plate, his goods and chattels, on sth July last. The jury found the prisoner guilty. He ha d been pre viously convicted under the name of Daniel Davis, and was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. Mr. Fulham said the prisoner had been in prison ten times since 1851. THIS DAYS MARKETS. Mr. Payne sentenced the prisoner to six years' penal ser- Titude. Sarah Davis and Mary Ann Berm were charged with stealing a purse containing Li 6s, from Mrs. Ann Mat thews, wife of Mr, Richard Matthews, carpenter, Earl's court-terrace, Kensington, in July l ast. Mrs. Matthews said that on I?avi ng her house she met the prisoners, who asked her the way to Bayswater and Holland-lane, and she directed there to it, and on leaving her she missed her purse. _ The jury found Sarah Davis guilty, and Mary Ann Berger not guilty. The prisoners were further charged with picking the pocket of Mrs. Sarah Jepps, 3, Grafton-place, Euston square, of her purse. They asked the way to Primrose hill, and when they went away she found she had lost her purse, and gave them into custody of a constable. The jury found the prisoners guilty, and they were sen tenced to eighteen months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGANo -n (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGR_ STREET. STREET PREACRING.—Ed ward Ripps, of 40, Munster.. square, Regent's-park, was charged before Mr. Beadon with obstructing the footway in Tottenham-court-road by preaching and causing a crowd to assemble, and refusing to go when requested. Sergeant Clifford, 9 E, seeing the defendant preaching, with a large crowd of persons round hi m , an d a s he was causing a great obstruction, and complaints had been made by the inhabitants of pickpock e t s assembling in conse quence of persons singing and preaching, he requested him to move. He refused to do so, and finding the footway greatly impeded, he took the defe l d ant into custody. Mr. Beadon asked the defendant why he went into a crowded thoroughfare like the To ttenham-court-road where he must necessarily cause a crowd and confusion. He was not likely by that means to do any good, and it was quite ne cessary the place should be k e p t clear. Defendant said the part of the road where he was preach ing was already blocked up, and Persons were singing just below, but were not removed. Mr. Beadon,!in discharging the defendant, recommended Wan to use a little discretion, and to go to a place where ho yould cause no obstruction, and then he might do good. It may be stated that it was only on the loud complaints of the inhabitants the police interfered. -:---- THA.MEs. TEE MOTHER AND DAUGH T; I 2.--STRANGE CASE. — Mary Murphy, a young woman, was b roug ht before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a dress, value 205., the pro perty of Margaret I-loroFan. The prosecutrix, an industrious and well-dressed Irish woman, with an appearance of comfort rather unusual with persons of her class, said she got a little bit of bread by selling fruit and vegetables in the street, and lived in Finnley-street, liar Rural-court, mile End , and that her husband worked for the parish. She then commenced the biograghy of her family, and on the magistrate requesting her to desist, she said that she left th e prisoner in charge of her stall in the Mile End-road, while she went to market. On her return, the prisoner was gone, and the stall was " left to mind itself." On going home she missed the best gown she had, and traced it to a p a wnbroker's shop, where the prisoner had pawned it for George Kay, a police-constable, 108 K, said that he found the prisoner in Globe-fields, Mile-end-road, in a most helpless state, and quite intoxicated. The gown was prcduced by a pawnbroker, and identified. Mrs. Horogan—That is my new dress, your honner's wortchip, and didn't I work hard for it. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said she took the gown out of the house and pawned it for ss, and did not know what became of it. Mr. Yardley—Pawned it for drink What a shocking thing this is ; the prevalence of drunkenness among women in this district is really frightful. A young man named John Burke hero addressed the magistrate. She is my sister, your worship, and this is my mother. ----- Mr. Yardley—Then the old woman and the prisoner in the dock are mother and daughter? Burke—That's it, sir. lam sure my sister is subject to fits. Mr. Yardley—Of drunkenness, I fear. Burke—No, sir. She has heavy falls on the stones, and often goes into fits. She is only fit for an asylum or a workhouse. Mr. Yardley—The mother and daughter are different names. How is that ? Burke—My mother has married a second husband. Mrs. Horogan—l only want my bran new gown, yer honner's wortchip. Don't punish her, poor girl. Mr. Yardley—Yes, you want to get the dress back for nothing. I shall not order the pawnbroker to restore it without you pay for it. The prisoner is sentenced to eight days' imprisonment and hard labour. HAY MARKETS.

CONJUGAL RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that on Thurs day next he should ask their lordships to take into conside ration the amendments made by the Commons to this bill. The advice he should give to their lordships on that evening was they should not agree to the so .called amendments.

ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE.—A new feature has been added to the attractions of this favourite place of amuse ment in the shape of a domesticated and educated hippopota mus. Mr. E. T. Smith, the enterprising manager, has, at a large expense, procured this wonderful specimen of the am phibious world. The animal is not yet two years and a half old, and stands about three feet high. The keeper has it entirely under control, and can make it do whatever he pleases. It follows him about like a dog, and lays down and fondles with him in the most docile manner. During the exhibition the keeper opened its mouth, and put his head completely within its huge jaws, after which he took it round and made it open its mouth several times to show the audience the interior. After making the creature go through various performances, which showed its tractability, he mounted its back and rode off in triumph, amidst general applause. _ - - REVIVAL OF CAMBERWELL FAlR.—Yesterday morning, at a very early hour, the inhabitants of that part of the Camberwell New-road near the Lambeth County Court were aroused by hearing loud and continuous ham mering, mingled with shouting and other sounds, so unusual to the respectable inhabitants of this locality. It was then discovered that during the previous night and yesterday morning a fair of very large dimensions had been established in an extensive field at the rear of Camberwell Chapel, and abutting on the Brunswick-road, and thereon had been established upwards of 200 booths, including a large eques trian tent, a theatre, an exhibition of moving models, re freshment booths, rifle galleries, &c. It would appear that on Sunday evening two or three caravans were noticed proceeding towards the field ; but not the slightest idea was entertained that a fair, and one of the largest that has ever been established on the Surrey side of the water, was about to be held. As soon as that became known, large bodies of police were placed on duty, and several of the inhabitants laid a complaint for the removal of the booths, &c., but they were extremely surprised and disappointed on being informed that this could not be done without giving the parties seven days' notice ; and, of course, by that time the fair would be over and the whole of . the ground cleared, so that they will bo obliged to put up with it for three days, although the extreme end of the fair comes within a feet of the dwarf garden walls. Notwithstanding the somewhat doubtful state of the weather the fair was duly opened with the usual accompaniment of gongs, drums, brass bands, and other deafening Noises. Before twelve o'clock the roadway leading to the ground wore a very lively appearance, hundreds of the lovers of such sights wending their way thereto, and seeming to fancy that a triumph had been gained by the revival of Camberwell Fair, which it was thought was for ever extinct. 2.14.6 7.4.0 FOREIGN MINES.

The Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to.___--_ - COUNTY CORONERS BILL. the Commons' reasons for disagyeeing to the Lords' amendments to this bill were considered, and their for d ships agreed not to insist on their amendments. EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL moved the first reading of this 1.111, which was to raise a certain sum of money (X 3,000,000) to meet the deficit and outgoing in the construction of rail ways in India. The expenditure inlndia was very great, and until the military expenses were reduced, he [did not see any prospect of having the income of that country brought to a balance with the expen diture. The mutiny in India had mainly led to the deficit being made an addition to the Indian debt to the amount of £40,000,000. Previous to the outbreak the debt of India stood at £59,000,000 at 21 per cent., but owing to the outbreak and expenses of the sup pression, it now amounts to 'D7,851,000, and would, he thought, very shortly amount to £100,000,000. Without they took active steps to reduce the expenses of India, and place the expenditure on a more satisfactory basis, it would saddle that country with a debt, which would be a very serious matter. This bill was read a first time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This DAY.) The SPEAKER entered the house at 12 o'clock, and prayers having been read there were six members present, all of these occupants of the Ministerial bench. Members gradually came in until half-past 12, when a house was made. IRISH EDUCATION. Mr. MON SE LL gave notico that on Thursday he should ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland the names of those commissioners who authorised the omission from Mr. Kina. han's report of the children who attended Roman Catholis schools. TRALEE SAVINGS BANK. Captain STAC POOLE, for Mr. O'Connell, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would introduce a bill this session for the purpose of distributing the balance of funds belonging to the late Tralee Savings Bank among its depositors The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was a certain balance of money which was the un doubted property of the depositors, but the Commissioners of the National Debt had no authority to direct a distribu tion. Under these circumstances it would appear proper that some measure should be adopted for the relief of the parties, but the question had been started at too late a period of the present session to enable anything to be dons. THE STATUTE BOOK. Mr. BAGWELL moved for copy of letters from Mr. James Big!, to the Treasury, dated the 20th day of March, the 3d of May, the 13th of June, and the 21st of July last, respecting the reformation of the statute .book by the pub lication of an edition of existing statutes.—The return was ordered. IMPERIAL GUARANTEES. Mr. HUBBARD moved for an address for return of the unexpired imperial liabilities arising under either of the following heads :—Guarantee of loans made by foreign countries or colonial dependencies ; guarantees of interest on railway, telegraphic, or other undertakings, specifying the extent of the loans and the rates of interest ; also the amounts already paid under such guarantees, and the amount still depending. The motion was agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was read a second time. EXCHEQUER BONDS (£2,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a second time. ENDOWED CHARITIES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses 1 to 17 were agreed to with one or two verbal amendments. On the motion of Mr. LYGON clause 18 was struck out. Clauses 1t and 20 were agreed to. On clause 21, there was a long discussion, in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Henley, Sir R. Bothell, Mr. Itolt, Mr. Ayrton, and other gentlemen took part, relative to salaries to be granted to official trustees of charitable funds. It resulted in the promise that a clause should be brought up on the report, on the condition that it should be a temporary measure preliminary to a general in vestigation of the whole subject of salaries under the Charity Commission next session. Clause 22, which provides that clerks and accountants under the commission should not be liable to serve on juries was objected to by Mr. HENLEY. He had no objection to the commissioners and secretary being exempt, but he thought that clerks and accountants should be liable as other people are. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there would be no objection to amending the clause as suggested. The clause having been so amended was agreed to. Mr. HADFIELD moved a clause, which provided that where, under the deed or instrument constituting or regu lating any parochial charity, administered by the in cumbent, churchwardens, or other persons appointed by the vestry of a parish, no auditor is appointed, it shall be law ful for the commissioners of charities to appoint an inspec tor of accounts. • The committee divided — For the clause 6 Against Majority .. —37 The clause was negatived, and the bill was reported to the house. MILITIA PAY BILL. This bill passed through committee. __ MILITIA BALLOT BILL. The Lords' Amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. NEW ZEALAND BILL. The order for the second reading of this bill was poet. poned until the evening sitting. THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (1855) AMEND MENT (No. 2) BILL. This bill passed :through committee, and the standing orders haying been suspended, was read a third time and passed. NAVAL DISCIPLINE BILL. _ The order for going into committee on this bill was post poned until the evening sitting. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. The adjourned debate on the amendment on consideration as amended was postponed until the last sitting. COURT OF CHANCERY BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. HADFIELD adverted at some length to the clauses of which he had given notice, proyiding for the appoint ment of additional chief clerk; to the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellors. Sir J. GRAHAM said the bill had come down on high authority from the House of Lords, but he hoped the House of Commons would pay some respect to a committee of its own who had considered and rejected the clauses to which the hon. member for Sheffield had referred. The house went into committee on the bill, and the vari ous clauses were agreed to with some slight amendments. Mr. HADFIELD then moved the first of the clauses on which his speech was founded, namely that an additional chief clerk be appointed for the Master of the Rolls, and recommending Mr. John Arthur Buckley, late chief in the office of one of the Masters in Ordinary for the appoint ment. Sir J. GRAHAM opposed the clause. He had a high re gard for the great ability and respectability of Mr. Buckley, and he should be sorry to oppose the Master of the Rolls and o. her high judicial officers, who were said to have re commended the appointment. The committee to whom he had referred had recommended the abolition of the office of Master in Chancery, although it was foreseen that it might be productive of some difficulty, on the ground that the chamber practice of the judges would be transacted by clerks, who were inferior in ability to the Masters in Chan • eery, whose office had been obsolete.WlThe Master of the Rolls had two chief clerks and inferior clerks, and now the proposition was that the Master of the Rolls should have a third chief clerk. If that point were conceded, Parliament might reckon upon it with a certainty that an appeal would be made by the threeVice-Chancellors for additional:clerks. The time had come for the appointment of a new equity judge, whose establishment would not amount to more than £4,000 a year than would be incurred by the proposed chief clerks. He recommended that when a fourth Vice-Chan cellor was appointed, those judges should sit in turn in chambers, in which case the business would be thoroughly transacted. Mr. ROLT agreed with the right hon. baronet in the im portance of having judicial matters disposed of by judges and introducing such legislative provision as would pre vent, as far as possible, referring such questions to the offi cers of the court. He did not think the equity judges could satisfactorily preside at chambers disposing of accounts which would unfit. them for theirjudicial business. If a ques tion of law were at chambers the chief clerk might express an opinion, and if the parties were dissatisfied they might appeal to the judge. He did not think the time had arrived when a new judge would be necessary, for although the judges were fully occupied there were no arrears, and he was not aware that any business had been referred to cham bers which ought not to have been tran sacted there. Mr. Buckley had been acting with the Master of the Rolls for three years, and if they did not accede to the clause pro ; posed by Mr.i Hadfield they woul d be limiting his judicial staff. It should be remembered, too, that the Master of the Rolls had strongly recommended this appointment, and that representation he thought should be attended to. Sir a. GRAHAM said he should like to know in wh a t manner the Master of the Rolls has obtained the assistance of Mr. Buckley during the last three years. Mr. MALINS agreed in the main with Sir J. Graham, and said that unless it could be shown that an a dditi ona l clerk was necessary for the Vice Chancellor, he could not agree that it was necessary to give another clerk to the Master of the Rolls. The Vice Chancellor's clerks did quite as much work as a single judge could superintend, and if another chief clerk were appointed for each of the courts there would be more work than . the Tice-Chancellor could adequately supervise. He was not of opinion the time had come for the appointment of a newjudge but he did not mean to say that it was far distant, inasmuch as by a bill now be . fore the house, which would enable viva twee evidence to be taken, the Courts of Chancery would greatly increase. In re - ply to Sir J. Graham's question, the hon. and learned gentleman had said that Mr. Buckley was clerk to Master Blunt, who died in 1856. He was entitled to Ll,OOO a-year as such clerk, and three years ago one of the clerks of the Master of the Rolls having become ill, Mr. Buckley offered his services without any additional salary. Since that be had discharged the duties, and if he continued to discharge them he would not receive any additional salary, to that to whisk he was at present entitled. He thought that under the circumstances the services of Mr. Buckley might be re tained. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, from the language he frequently heard in the courts he could not help think ing that a portion of the duty of the courts strictly judicial was transferred from the judges to the chief clerks and he should object therefore to adding another chief clerk to the establishment of the Master of the Rolls. But the Master of the Rolls, having pledged himself to the performance of certain duties, he was disposed on that ground, and that ground alone, to assent to his continuing to receive Mr. Buckley's assistance, so long as the Lord Chancellor might think fit, on the condition that if the business de creased he should be dismissed, and have no claim to compensation, and that if business increased he might be transferred to the office of one of vice-chancellors if neces sary. The hon. and learned gentleman moved a clause, in which he embodied those views, as an amendment to the clause pro posed _ by Mr. Had fi eld. Mr. HENLEY thought all judicial business of import ance should be transacted under the immediate supervision of the judges. He suggested that the Attorney-General should allow Mr. Hadfield's clause to be negatived, and then to have his own printed, in order that it might be brought up with the report. Sir J. GRAHAM said he viewed the amended clause with great jealousy. He thought it would be well to add to the clause that if a fourth judge were appointed Mr. Buck ley should be transferred to him as his chief clerk. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should have no objection. It being 10 minutes to four, the CHAIRMAN reported progress. The other orders on the paper were postponed, and the sitting was suspended at four o'clock. At six o'clock the house resumed, and was [LEFT SITTING.] ARRIVALS AT YORK. .BEY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] Grenadier, Vesta, Violet, Prudence, Harefoot, Gardener, Sampson, Hepatica, Vouralak, Tyrant, General Hem, Man-at-Arms, Skelton, Defender, Dundee, Bella Donna, Maggiore, Satellite, Artless, Northern Light, Trovatore, Starlight, Sweet Hawthorne, Phemy colt, Folkeston% Cantatrice, Maid of the Mist, Feodorowna, Cynrioas, Sutton, Moorhen, Wildman, Horace, Lopcatcher, Weather witch, Ericthonius, Sir William, Eidolon, Brown Holland, Annie, Miss Hawley, Syringe, Roesia, Uralian, and Sister to Roesia.

GARIBALDI AND THE Swlfis.—A committee of Swiss patriots having forwarded to Garibaldi, through Major Ott, of the Federal army, a magnificent rise, re ceived the following letter from the General :—" Swisspa triots,—The generous gift of a rifle , which I have rec e ived from you, through Major Ott, has been vel7 gratifying to me.

HORRIBLE MIIRDERS.--A. dr ea df u l case was three days ago submitted to the Court of Assizes of the Aisne. An entire family named Robert, consisting o f the f a ther and mother, and their son and daughter, the two a ttar aged respectively 38 an d 25, were accused of four c ases of infanticide. Th ey li vid in the village of Prouvais, and it was a matter o f general notoriety that the brother and sister maintain e d, w i th the full knowledge o f th e Pe' , rents, an improp er intimacy, and that the resu lt o f it was the birth of severa l childrenall of whom the judici a l authorities instituted m ysteriously dis. appeared. At l ength the scandal became so great that an inquiry, and then the Young woman ma d e th e horrible confession that for ten y ears s h e and her brother had lived together as m an and wife, that she had borne not fewer than seven children, and that four of them had been strangled immediately birth by th e b ro th er , w ith the consent of herself andmother, and in their presence. As to the other three children, tw o she said wore born dead, and the third is now livi ng , seven years old. The dead b o dies, she added, wer e b ur i ed in the 1 garden, and there the bones of three were found. Although the woman did not ac cuse her fath er, it appea red impos— sible that he could be ig norant of these fearful crimes, and/ he was therefore included in the indictment, but the jury i acquitted him. The brother and sister and the moth , .3r being convicted of the murders, the two former were et in demned to death, and the latter, on account of her age , to hard labour for life. 1 r'fl U
