Un osing his pocket-book off the steamer on the Saone, he, wrote, on the 13th, to his banker in London. Since then there has been no further tidings received of his movements; but the paragraph which appeared in last Monday's Constitutionnel, and has been transferred to the pages of our morning contemporary, we opine and trust to be merely a bit of penny-a-lining. FRANCE. The Legitimist organ, the Union, contains remarks on the late Duke of Wellington, which derive addi tional inmortance from the hostility that journal con tinually displays to England, and'its cuckooery that the French and English are naturally enemies. This 'expression, which has been familiar hitherto only to men of violent passions and unenlightened minds, sounds strangely in a journal which professes to be an organ of religion, and is constantly talking of its Christian sentiments. The Official Savoy:Gazette of the 20th states that besides the invitations sent by the Mayor of Grenoble to the Commandant• General of the division of Savoy and his officers, similar invitations have been sent to the various administrative and judicial authorities of that province. General Delamarre, Commandant- General of the department of the I!ere, and the officers of-the garrison of Grenoble, have also sent invitations to, the staff a'ad cavalry officers stationed at Chambery, to be present at the review. ITALY. We Faye received accounts from Rome," says the Debate, "to the 14th. A long interview which Sir Hl:Nay licnvrna bad, a few days since, with the Cardin al Secretary of State is the subject of general conve'tsation. The following is, according to the r e por.ts current i n the political world, the substance o hat took place. The first subject talked of was _th f e maintenance of friendly relations between the "v 4 Governments ; relations which had been some .lbat compromi se d on th e one s id e by the introduction '2 4 " the Roman Episcopal Hierarchy into England and bv.9 the prosecution of Mr. MURRAY, and on the other 'by several recent legislative measures and by the trial Aciainnt. In order to establish a good under standi'ag for the f u tur e , the Envoy of Lord DERBY 16 sal dto have suggested whether it would not be well to accredit at Rome an agent with a higher title thar4 that of Consul, for instance an ordinary minister. To , that suggestion the answer is said to have been, th , ,:t the time for discussing that question would be *hen a Papal Nuncio should be admitted at London, 7 4nd that, as far as regarded Mr. FREEBORN per sonally, the Pontifical Government, by not removing from him its exequatur, showed very clearly that the recal or the maintenance of that agent was a matter of indifference to it. As to the communication of the documents relative to the affair of MURRAY, which Sir -Unsure BunwErt is said to have demanded, the reply of the Cardinal Secretary was, it is reported, Peratnptory and clearly given by a non pos man. It is even pretended that he said— ' A judgment has just been given in En gland, which has astonished and afflicted 'as. But, notwithstanding those feelings, we will not call in question the decision in that affair, pro nounced by the legally instituted justice of a regu lar Government, master of its penal legislation. We are, also a regular Government. We have our penal legislation, which differs from yours, but which is 'sanctioned by the PRINCE, applied for many years in the country, and working according to rules the jus tification of which we do not admit any Government to have a right to demand from us. MURRAY has fallen under that penalty. It was regularly applied to him according to the forms usual in theft proceedings. To demand the communica tiwa of the documents of his trial would be tTlivalent to a suspicion of the judgment not being correct, a suspicion which would become an %stilt for Roman justice, and for the State which has co? t ti ,ned t o it th e h onour , t h e proper t y , an d t h e li ves subjects. This insult, therefore, we reject, Wl ~aout even wishing to combat it, and we will not es ablish a dangerous precedent by communicating re e Y a o . o the documents you demand. Occe more, I the affair has been decided, and the judgment y pronoun ce d: T he conversation is said to have afterwards turn e d on subjects of secondary interest, i. srh as a fe w words on railways, and some insinua dons on the deplorable state of Ireland, after which an end was put to this p ainfu l interview.

CATANIA SEPT. 1.--Zaffarana has been and still is in considerable danger—by last accounts the lava was at a very short distance from it, and apparently nothing but the interposition of Providence could save it. The soil, on the sides of Etna generally, is full of undulations, in some places mere hillocks, in other places hills, caused by lava, or scoria, from pre vious eruptions. The lava, as it flows on in its down ward course, is naturally turned aside by these undu lations or irregularities, and some hltll or obstacle, may possibly turn aside the lava ere it reach Zaffa rana. I may here mention that it is calculated that the course of the lava since the eruption first broke out, is, owing to its devious course, caused by the undulaticn alluded to above, full sixteen miles, while the distance in a straight line, does not exceed three miles. The first stream of lava, after nearly reaching Zaffarana, suddenly ceased, as if the eruption were at an end. It is a second stream, flowing on the first, which now causes so much alarm. Great damage has already been donelto the vineyards and chestnut woods on the stope of the mountain, and it is to be feared that the damage will still be very considerable, even if Zaffarana escape. This village and Ballo, a suburb thereof, have been deserted by the inhabitants , and several houses higher up than it have been already destroyed. Yesterday evening, and the whole of today, Catania has been visited by a heavy shower of black ashes from the mountaie, to such an extent that it is perfectly disagreeable to be in the streets. Owing to this cloud of ashes the mountain has been nearly invisible. to us, but we are warned by the conti nuous heavy explosions that it is still in a vary active state. Curiosity has carrie d, and is dail y carr ying a large number of Catanes e to Zaffarana; there, however, little more than the stream of lava is visible, I made a trip on Saturday afternoon to Tre Castagne, three hours' drive distant from Catania, thence on a mule and on foot through the Bosco and over the lava of 1819, to the summit of Monte Pumiciaro, a trip of fouriorhioouurss s a ig n h d t ahfhathlfe. twForomnewitlsy - s u mm it f o r:w we had a craters,g casting up enormous red hot masses under our feet, and we could trace the h W o e course of the different streams of lava from the source to Zaffarana. The trip there and back took sixteen hours. 'I would re commend it to any • • one wishing really to see what an eruption is. (From the Journal of Catania.) August 22.—From the point of the eruption, the lava descended to within a mile of Zappinelli, having traversed nearly seven miles of ground, over desert and desolate points, damaging a portion of birch trees in this communal grove, and nearly all the zappini (fir trees), and a portion of birch trees forming part of the revenue of the Bishop of Catania. One branch took the direction of Milo, a territory of Giarre. To day the progress of the lava is less rapid than it was yesterday. Of a sudden the branch which appeared to have turned towards Zaffarana, commenced an in vasion of some private property in the road below, and appears to be taking the direction of the road to the commune named Ballo. The branch which is taking the direction of Milo is in a state of great activity. Up to this moment the height of the lava has not been visible from the habitations of Zaffarana. Besides invading some lands little cultivated it has spread over others covered with birch, cherry, and apple trees. Its ordinary course may be calculated at about 40 feet an hour, but its course may be increased by de scending the steep ground above Zaffarana, from which commune it is now distant about four miles, calcu lating its tortuous course. August 23.—The lava, which last night showed a front of about 18 palms high, attained daring the night a height of 30 palms, and acquired greater cele rity in its course. It has already invaded the heights visible from the habitations of Zaffarana, and has passed some, especially that of the Quercia del Vento, S.E. of the valley of Calanna. One branch towards the opening of Calanna, and another to the Quercia del Vento, appear to be directing themselves, the first for the valley of Calanna (in its course it will take the hamlet of Zaffarana) the second on the road to Ballo ; whilst a third smaller branch, which is seen at the point understood as Motara, tends towards the lands situated between Ballo and Milo. This morn ing the continued detonations issuing from the point of the eruption have been heard more loudly. The volcanic fire has already occupied some vineyards, and menaces others ; it is about three miles distance from Zaffarana, and a mile and a half ;from the suburb of Ballo or Sciara. August 24.—The lava during the night has pro gressed rapidly over the steep ground. Its progress towards Milo has stopped. The arm of the Portella di Calanna has extended to the plain of the same name, and continues its course in the direction of Zaftarana. That too of the Quercia del Vento is sub divided into three sections : the first is on the point of union with the small branch passing by the above mentioned opening, and is closing on itself; the se cond is directing itself towards Palazzo ; the third takes the route of Dagalone in the direction of Ballo, and is distant from it rather more than a mile, and ►rom the centre of the commune of Zaffarana a mile and a half. The branch from the point of Mor tara ii now increasing. In a word, the lava has reached to the base of the Quercia del Vento hill and its pre-eminence, and has invaded much private pro perty, some ready for receiving i the rye-seed, others cultivated with vines. Its front, from about 400 canne, has increased to near a mile. August 25.—A small arm of lava is directing itself towards Algerazzi and Spoligni in the territory of Giarre, actually distant from the fire, the first one, and the second two miles. Last night the branch of the Portella di Calanna, united with a section of that of the Quercia del Vento, advanced 92 canne towards Zaffarana. From the point at which it was yesterday evening to the pre sent moment, it has reached the vineyards of Ango nicel!a and Angona, and is distant from the village a mile and a quarter. The section towards Palazzo and Dagolone has assumed the form of a peacock's tail, invading several vineyards in the district of the grand Vigna, Palazzo, Sciarrone, and extended to the grotta, named Ciechi tella, from which place the lava last night advanced 100 canne, and this morning it continued its course, so that from the commune of Zaffarana it is less than a mile distant, and from Sciara, or Ballo, about 100 canne. The branch from Point Mortara progresses in a N.E. direction towards Giarre by the Algerazzi and Spoligni roads. August 26.—The lava has considerably lessened its onward course. From a hill four miles from Zaf farana ahother strada has appeared, which is following the traces of the first one. During the eruption it has bean remarked that the front of the lava has been variable ; now being large —now small ; that the various branches have often I.l.garuieteadterwoirthantah smaller . mass, and that the course of the fire , ! 1 ,:i s generally taken to the valleys. It divides itself te to several branches when impeded by hills or high rugged otB and on finding a level again the branches reunite. The expansion of the lava is or less proportion as the ground is more Augustey. T closely, th lav a beei village of Ballo is menaced side the eruption Increases distant only 12 cantle. On this other branches have r c e e a a s s es d in intensity, whilst all the August 29—The lava which has deviated from i ts coune c inclined towards Ballo side has ceased.

SERIOUS STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. On Friday night, about eight o'clock, the river steamers Duchess of Argyl and Emperor came into col lision upon the Gareloch, by which both vessels sus tained very serious damage, and are so disabled that some time must elapse before they are fit to resume their usual stations. From what we have learned of the catastrophe, it would appear that the Duchess left the Broomielaw at five o'clock on Friday afternoon, and had proceeded as far on her passage to the head of the Gare loch as Shandon, when she was run into, or came in violent contact with, the steamer Emperor, by which the last mentioned vessel was so much damaged that she sunk in deep water, and now lies a little way below Shandon tollhouse, completely covered with water almost up to the top of the funnel. The Duchess, after the collision, seems not to have been so much disabled, as she had evidently been put about and run ashore. She lies close on to the beach, but her stern quarter is also covered with water. Fortunately no lives are lost, although it is almost miraculous that any one escaped. We believe there were not many passengers on board the Duchess going down, and there were no persons in the Emperor but the hands employed in working her. It was quite dark when the accident took place, and it is said to have been caused by one of the vessels not exhibiting the usual signal lamps. The Emperor, we may explain, was upon her return to Glasgow, with the view of being ready to go upon a pleasure excursion with a large party from the Broomielaw on Saturday morning. The pas sengers of the Duchess, we believe, made their escape by means of the small boats attached to the vessel, and it is gratifying to be enabled to state, that although the loss and damage to property by this extraordinary colli sion are considerable, no person has been injured in the slightest. The Duchess, we believe, is owned by Mr. Robert Napier, of this city, and the Emperor by Messrs M'Kellar and Henderson. In the meantime, of course, it is impossible to say who is to blame for the accident, but we doubt not a searching inquiry will be made into the whole facts of the case by the proper authorities. — Glasgow Paper. BRIDLINGTON, SEPT. 22.—The Maria, of Fano. from London, which was in contact with the Peace, of Whitby, has been assisted in, with bows cut down to the water's edge, &c. LOWESTOFT, SEPT. 22.—The Paolina, Newcastle to Venice, is leaky, having struck on Bernard Sand• MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 22. (Before Mr. WITHAM and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.) Henry Croucher, aged 26, pleaded guilty ing three reams of paper, value 21. ss. 6 d ., the pro perty to steal of William Spencer Johnson, bis master and employer. The prosecutor is a printer at 60, St. Martin's lane, and the prisoner was a warehouse man in his employment, and had access to the store where the paper was kept. At the pawnbroker's where he pledged the stolen property he used the name of Paul, and represented himself as a relative of Mr. Paul, the printer in St. Andrew's-street, which has given rise to a mistake in some of the weekly papers in which the prisoner is mentioned as James Henry Paul (the name of the prosecutor's foreman). Mr. O'BRIEN. said that he hoped the Court would deal mercifully with the prisoner as he had confessed his guilt. Mr. METCALF said that the prisoner had been robbing his master for a considerable time and to a large extent. Already 67 reams of paper, to the value of 501., had been discovered to have been pledged by him, and the prosecutor had reason to believe that as many as 30 or 40 reams besides had been stolen from him. Mr. WITHAM sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. In the course of the day, Mr. METCALFE, in apply ing for the expenses of the prosecution in the case, said that he wished to mention a circumstance con nected with the case by which Mr. Johnson's fore man, Mr. Paul, a most respectable man, had been unintentionally injured by an accidental error. The prisoner, it appeared, had pledged the paper in the name of Paul, and hence, by mistake, an account ap peared in some of the papers, in which James Henry Paul was represented as being committed for trial for robbing his master, instead of Henry Croucher, as it should have been. This was unfortunately the name of Mr. Johnson's foreman, who, of course, was ex tremely anxious to have the matter set right in the eyes of the public with as little delay as possible, and against whom no imputation whatever rested. John Matthews, aged 19; Henry Clark, 13; and William Steed, 15, were indicted for stealing three forks, four spoons, and other articles, value 4/ , the property of Nicholas Henderson. Mr. O'Brien appeared for Matthews, and Mr. Sleigh for Steed. Margaret Jones stated that she was housemaid at the prosecutor's, who is a dancing-master, and resides at 19, Newman-street. On Wednesday, the 25th of August, about half-past twelve in the day, she placed the plate (laid in the indictment) in a plate basket, and left it in the front kitchen, the window of which was shut and the area gate locked. She went up stairs, and returned in ten minutes; she then found the window open, rad the plate was abstracted from the basket. _ Charles Reid, a lad in the employment of a jeweller, 80, Wardour-street, Soho, was passing along New man-street with a parcel, about half-past twelve on that day, and saw the prisoners sitting on the door-step of the next house to the one in which the robbery wes committed. David Brien, an apprentice boy, at 8, Newman street, about 20 minutes past 12 saw Matthews jump ing over the area railings of No. 19, coming from the house. He had some plate under his coat; it was something shining, and he saw something like the handle of a spoon or fork. The other two pri soners were opposite No. 20, and Matthews walked away fast, and the other two whistled to him and went along with him down Newman-passage. Charles Knight, a tailor, at 8, Percy-passage, was passing by about half-past 11, and saw the prisoners near Mr. Henderson's door. He went into Castle street, and returning in about twenty minutes they were still there; about 20 minutes afterwards they ran past his shop. He was certain of Matthews and Steed, but could not swear to Clark. Marianna Willis, a waistcoat maker at 15, Wells street (who was not examined before the magistrate), about 20 minutes pest 12 on the day in question was passing through Newman-street, and saw the three prisoners sitting on the door step of No. 20. One of them took off Matthews' hat, and threw it over the area railings of No. 19, and he got over the railings. She then went into Rathbone-place, and was returning back about half-past 12, when she met all three running up ,Newman-passage. She saw something bulky under Matthews' coat, and the handle of a sp oon or f or k protru di ng f rom it. Sh e after wards heard that a robbery had taken plaza at No. 19.

Rosa Woolf s t a t e d t h at s h e was the w if e of Nathan som e months ago with a man n ame d L aurence. He was ta k e n into custody on the 7th o f J une, at vhich t i me th e pri- Boner was in his service. Her husband kept on' shop I in Oxford street and another in Tottenham .court road. The prison,!.r attended to the latter, and had rooms in the bottom part of the house and 103. a week wages. He remr.ined with her about three weeks after lye hush And was taken into cu•deyiy she then told him to take his furniture away, but still to continue in her service as usu a l, as s h e did n ot under stand the business. He toook his furniture away, and from that day she never saw him till she went to Agar-street, Strand, accompanied by a policeman, on the 19th of August, where the prisoner had a jewel ler's shop. Up to this time she did not know where he was. Two days after he absented himself she looked over the premises, and missed all the jewellery and everything that was worth a shilling, to the value of between 141. and 151., which was the remainder of the stock after the officers had taken away the portion claimed. (A number of articles which were found in the pri soner's shop were then produced, and identified by the w itness as the property of her husband). Cross-examined by Mr. RIBTON—About 2001. worth of property was taken from tier husband's premises by the police, which was claimed by the owners. She still carried on the business in Totten ham-court-road. The police had not been to her house lately, and they had not been there since the conviction of her husband. Her husband had this shop fur nearly four years, and the prisoner had been in his employment for three years, and his wages were only 10s. a week, the lower part of the house rent free, and gas. He was always paid in money, and never in kind. Her husband also employed a man named Crutchley at 125. a week, but he was always paid in money. She never heard her husband tell them to take something out of the window and pay themselves. She never called on the prisoner after he left her in Arthur -street. Her hushand had had these things three or four years in his possession. The police took away about seventy watches from her hus band's shop. James Stringer, police-constable 193, on the day in question accompanied Mrs. Woolf to 11, Agar-street, Strand, the prisoner's shop. The pri sonerthere, and the articles produced were found. WoolfNirs.w as atonce recognised them in his presence, but he did not make any remark. He never heard him make any remark about it, or say they were his pro perty. Some of the articles were in his window. He wa s a watchmaker, and when they went into the shop w og behind th e he counter at work. --- This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. RIBTON submitted that the articles could not be laid as the property of Nathan Woolf, es he was a convicted felon. Mr. METcaLrE said this might be amended if it were so. 13ut this was not the case, for he was not convicted at the time. Mr. RIBTON thought that the conviction would act retrospectively. Mr. METCALFE did not agree in this, for with as much propriety it might be said, that if a single woman was robbed, and she afterwards got married, the property had been stolen from her husband. Mr. WtruAx overruled the objection. Mr. RItTON then addressed the jury for the de fence. He had no desire but to meet the case on its merits. lie should be ashamed to take any advantage because the husband of Mrs. Woolf had been punished for violating the law, but he would ask them which they would rather believe—the prosecutrix in this case or the prisoner at the bar ? She was the wife of the keeper of one of the most notorious receptacles for stolen property known, and the pri soner, as he sh ou ld s h ow b y witnesses, had a character without reproach. In opposition to this they had Mrs. Woolf, whose husband was now undergoing a deserved punishment in a foreign land, expiating his offences for one of the greatest crimes in the cate gory of felony; for it was universally admitted that the receiver was worse than the thief; and, doubtless, many a man had been transported through the conve niences afforded for the reception of stolen property by the existence of such infamous houses as those is Oxford-street and Tottenham-court-road. But inde pendently of this he should show, by witnesses, that several of the articles claimed were bought by the prisoner from other parties, and a fact which spoke very strongly in favour of the good character of the prisoner was his leaving Woolf's employment after his apprehension, as it showed that, as an hottest man would do, he left as soon as he discovered that Woolf had been dealing improperly with pro perty by keeping these receiving houses. The Learned Counsel then called— George Hammond, of Ashby-street, Clerkenwell, watchcase-maker, who identified some of the watch cases produced as having been made by him for the prisoner at different times, who paid him for them. - _ _ George Williams, a watch gilder, stated that he gilded the dial of one of the watches produced, on the Gth of May, for the prisoner, who paid him for it. John Crutchley, late in the employment of Woolf, stated that the prisoner used to wear one of the watches produced. Several other witnesses were called to speak about the property, and to the character of the prisoner. Mr. METCALFE, in reply, said that he might rest hie case on the first watch produced, which was posi tively identified by Mrs. Woolf, and had not been spoken to by any of the :witnesses for the defence. It was put into Hammonds hand for this purpose, and he said that he knew not hing about it; and what in ference could be drawn with regard to the others but that Peacock took them to Ha mmon d f or hi s mas t er (Jacobson), not for himself? The Learned Counsel then commented on t h e different evidence produced to show that the defence had entirely failed. Mr. WiTuam saving summed up, The jury retur n e d a verdict of Guilty ; and Mr. WiTr[Am said that it was a ca se which de served severe punishment, and sent ence d th e p r i so ner to 12 months' i m prisonment with hard labour. The case lasted for six hours, an d th e C uur t did no t rise till nearly nine o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HO USE. Rebecca Freeman, a person of exceedingly mild and innocent appearance, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie, cherged upon suspicion of having robbed Mrs. Mills, the wife of a medical gentleman residing in Aldgate, of tev o purses, containing 9/. 1.55., in an omnibus. got into th e B ow an d S trat f or d The lady said-- -1 omnibus at Aldgate. The prisoner sat next to me on the right hand, ‘n ee wee the only p erson i n t h e om nibus who could have robbed m e . Wh en we go t t o the East India-bouee she stopped the omnibus to get iately disc overe d th a t my poc k e t had been picked of out, and I imnie d ,. my purses, one of which was within the other. A man who appeared to be ac quainted with her, and who s a t oppos it e t o h er , go t out before her, and some gentlem en i n the omnibus said that, no doubt, she had handed my property to him. Sir PETER LAW" —Is the p r i soner k nown t o th e police? The turnkey of the Compter said there were persons present who knew her. The prisoner's s olicitor (5 the w it ne ss)—Did you ? Witness—l did not. see her take anythi n g The prisoner's so licitor—l sub m it th a t th ere i s no evidence at all gainst my client. S ome o th er parson in the omnibus 3 rust have taken the property. Several o detective officers said they kn ew th e prisoner m ost ingenious thief, who freq uente d to of the th a e omnibuses for the purpose of plunder ; but notwith standing her cleverne ss, she had been several times summa r i ly convicted, an d she had b een once t r i ed at the Old Bailey. —What Th e solicitor—There i s no thi ng Sir P. LAURIE (to the prisoner's s o li c it or ) do you say to that ? at all to show that she com mitted any robbery. The omnibus conductor said the prisoner got into the omnibus at Whitechapel Church. There were four of them; two men outside, and she and another man inside. Sir P. LAURIE—This woman, with her mild a n d simple appearance mid manners, is calculated to do a great deal of mischief in this way, and I shall re. mend her in the hope of getting further evidence against her. The prisoner (to her solicitor) —Tell him to settle it at once. There's no use in remandin g me. Sir P. LAURIE—I choose to conduct my business in my own way. Other people might h ave b een robbed by her, and might wish to see her, and I there fore remand her till Friday next. The prisoner, who was evidently chagrined at the determination of the Alderman not to give a sum mary judgment, was then remanded accordingly. THANE'S. John Thomas, a tall and powerful raffian, who is well known to the police, and was described as a la bourer, aged 32, of 3, Glasshouse-street, Whitechapel was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with felo niously assaulting Henry Johnson, a seaman, and ate tempting to rob him of his watch. The prosecutor, a little man, who is living in Far mer-street, Shadwell, was on his way home between twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday night, and lost his way in Whitechapel. While making inquiries he was accosted by the prisoner, who offered to show him the way to Shad well. Another man was with the prisoner. They walked together a short distance un til they reached a very dark and secluded place, when the prisoner suddenly put his leg between the prose cutor's legs and threw him heavily on the ground, and at the ° same time called nut to his companion " Take it, Charley, take it." The prisoner then feel upon the sailor and grasped him fi rm ly by th e nec k to prevent his calling out for the police, while the other fellow made an attempt to steal the sailor's watch, which was fastened to a strong guard chain round his neck. The chain was too strong for the man and resisted all his attempts to break it. The sailor, by a desperate effort, released his throat from the prisoner's grasp and capsized him, and called out " Police" as loud as he could bawl. A severe strug gle ensued, and the sailor fought with the most do termined bravery, and at last the prisoner's head and held it down uUril tt policaaian arrived. The other feliow, aftvr vain effort to release his con federate, on seeing a constable approach, took to his heels and made his escape. Tne, prisoner wps secured and conveyed to the station-house. David Jones, police-constable, No. 162 FI, stated that he heard a cry of "Police" between twelve and one o'clock, in New Martin-street, Whitechapel, and when he proceeded to the spot he found the sailor holding the prisoner's bead down. The prosecutor's watch was hanging by the chain out of his pocket. The sailor complained that the prisoner had tripped him up and attempted to steal his watch. The priso ner said he knew nothing at all about it. In answer to a question by the MAGISTRATE, the policeman said that Thomas was the constant asso ciate of thieves and never did any work. Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial. SOUTHWARK. Mary and Jane Barker, two young children of the respective ages of ten and twelve years, whose heads scarcelyreached the railings of the dock, were brought before Mr: A'Beckett, charged with stealing several articles of trifling value from various tradesmen in this district. Police-constable Freeman, 124 M, stated that on Monday afternoon he saw the prisoners loitering in front of several shops in Newington-causeway, and one of them had a small bundle in her possession. Having some suspicions as to their conduct, he stopped them, and on examining the bundle he found it to contain a small mahogany workbox and three fancy cup and saucers, which he ascertained had recently been stolen. He accordingly took them to the police station and locked them up. Thomas Kaye, assistant to Mr. Prince, fancy toy warehouseman in the Walworth-road, said, on Mon day morning he placed the workbox just inside the shop door, but did not miss it until Freeman, the con stable, came and told him about the children. He thought that he saw them about the door on Monday, but he could not say exactly. Mrs. Mary Ann Parker, fancy china dealer in Newington-causeway, said that the three cups and saucers produced were her property, but she did not miss them until the constable called on her. _ _ Mr. A'BECKETT asked whether either of the child ren's parents were in court ? The mother here stepped forward, and stated that she was a hardworking woman, and endeavoured to maintain her children honestly, but they had got into bad ways. Her husband was also a labouring man, and kept them well with food. Mr. A'BECKETT told her that the children not only required food for the body, but food for the mind. He was afraid they had been much neglected. The mother said she had done all she could to keep them honest ; and Mr. Green, a gentleman connected with the Loudon City Mission, had recommended her to his Worship to intercede for them in placing them in some asylum. Mr. A'BECKETT told her that he knew nothing of Mr. Green, but if that person would call upon him he should like to: see him on the subject; therefore he should remand them for a week ; but he must say that there must be great blame attached to the parents in allowing such young children to be in such a de praved state. Their conduct was very disgraceful, but still he would see what could be done to prevent such young children from being irretrievably lost in crime. LAMBETH. Elizabeth Lumley, a middle-aged woman, who had been brought up on remand, on a charge of robbing her ready furnished lodgings, was further charged before Mr. Elliott with improperly disposing of her illegitimate child. It appeared that Copping, the officer who took the prisoner into custody on the charge of robbing her furnished apartments, had discovered, in the course of his inquiries into this charge, that the prisoner had been confined in the month of February last, and he could not trace what had become of the infant. Ann Smith was here sworn, and deposed that in the month of February ;est the prisoner, who then lived at her house, was taken ill, and sent the person who lived with her as her husband to procure the as sistance of a midwife. Witness went into her room, when the prisoner said it was all over ; that the child was born dead, and was rolled up in some linen under the bed. The prisoner also said that the body was not fit to be seen by witness in her then state, and as the witness was at the same time far advanced in preg nancy, she did not require to look at it. Mary Downs, a midwife, said she was called on to attend the prisoner in her confinement in February last, but on going into her room she said it was all over. Mr.ELLIoTT—Where was the prisoner at that time? Witness—She was in bed, Sir. Mr. ELLIOTT—Did you observe any appearances in the room to induce you to think that a birth had taken place ? Witness—Yes, Sir, quite enough. She told me it was a little girl, and that it was still born. Mr. ELLIOTT—Did she say what had become of the child ? Witness—No, Sir, she did not. In reply to a question from the magistrate, The first witness, Mrs. Smith, said that the pri soner had not prepared any baby linen for the birth of her child. William Outram, a man with whom the prisoner lives, here got into the witness-box for the purpose of giving evidence, and the instant the prisoner got sight of him she dropped on the floor of the dock as though she were shot. The further examination was postponed for some time to give her time to recover, when it was again resumed. The prisoner, however, dropped a second and a third time in a similar manner; and Mr. ELLIOTT, conceiving that she was not in a fit state to prolong the inquiry, adjourned it to a fu ture day. The prisoner was in so weak and faint a state that she was obliged to be assisted from the dock to the strong room. SEABORNE MAILS.

THE PLAISTOW GIANTESS AND TILE KENTISH GIANT. If West Ham can boast of a giant, the adjoining hamlet of Plaistow can boast of a giantess in the person of Miss Mary Simmons, aged 20, who stands 6 ft. 4 in. in height; when her arms are extended they exceed 81 inches, while the length of her arms is upwards of 28 inches, This extraordinary young woman is a native of Plaistow, as were also her father and mother; the former, who died several years ago, measured 6 ft, 4} in., while the latter, who is still living, is about the ,middle stature, 5ft.41 in. In consequence of her tallness she has a great aversion to appear in public, and is seldom seen walking about like other females, even in her native village. She has a most juvenile appearance; although she is said to be 20 years of age, her face would not indicate her to be more than 16 or 17. Up to 15 yearn of age her height was only of an ordinary kind. She did not then appear tall er than other females of her own age, and it is only within the last three or four years that she has attained the pre sent extraordinary height. There is every indication that two or three inches will yet be added to her statu . re. Her manners are modest and unassuming, approaching to bashfulness with strangers—her occupation is some what laborious, but she is in the enjoyment of perfect health, not experiencing that weak ness which is frequently the case with persons of her own or even less stature. Perhaps the most singular matter to be mentioned is that the celebrated Kentish Giant, Ed ward Cranson, is paying his addresses to Miss Simmons, and there is every probability they will at no very dis tant period be man and wife. Edward Cranson is only nineteen years of age, and stands seven feet six inches, and is a native of Woolwich. His father and mother are represented as below the middle stature, and his sis ters are said to approach to dw arf d om. This remarkable youth has as engaging and pleasing, manner, and i s now filling a lucrative situation in bhoreditch. He is occa sionally habited in a very long over coat of a pecu li ar texture. presented to him by some gentleman who acci dentally came in contact w i th him, and it is hardly necessary to say his presence in the public s t ree t s i s a source of great attraction , and in borne localities the crowd is so great as to affect the ordinary thoroughfare. Edward Cranson, up to ten or eleven years, was engaged in some rope-walks in his n is nat i ve place, Woolwich, where his father, we believe, is still following the same occupa tion.

E. D. D Rogers (of the Norfolk News), situate in the e reham-road, Norwich, and on inquiry the cause of the stir appeared to be a young woman, meanly dressed, and lying on the road in a state of exhaustion. She was taken into the house, and after very consi derable efforts to restore her to consciousness, she began to recover. Her demean o ur was such as to prov e, notwithstanding her attire , that she b a d re ceived an excellent education. She stated that she had walked many miles, with the intention of reaching ' Lynn that same night • and that having had no She Fo ng nor money, she had f a llen from exhaustio n • made the following statement a s to her motives :—Ver father was a clergyman, and lived many miles distant, and he having objected to her marriage with her lover, recently a student for the Church, e le t Oxford, she had , on Tuesday morning, by eppointinent with hian it home, and gone t o Northarnpton by rail way to meet hi l m, but had been brought back in consequence of that she a tee graphic ms ssage being dispat ched after her, hut had escaped again the same night, and had secreted herself in a cottage near home until Thursday, when she rode to Attleborough, and there changed her dress at the house of a sister of her father's oak, and remained concealed unti l Friday evening. Sh e sleeping Friday Her in' night in an unfinished cottage on the way. tention was to go to Lynn, to see a Miss Eliza Pege' h formerly her governess, and n ow residing in te fa mily of a member of the Soci et y of Friends in that ed town. This " pitiful story" in duced the kind-heart Mr. and Mrs. Rogers to o ffer the young Algoma'? shelter in their house until the said Miss Page should be communicated with, which was accepted. M.r. Rogers proceeded to Lynn on Sunday, but every et fort he could make to discover such a person as the Miss Page, the Quakeress, was totally ineffectual, at which, on his return, the young great disappointment. Being pressed for further ins formation as to her family, she stated that her Hero was Matilda Lyle, that of her father the Rev. Ite . u; ben Lyle, of Cambridge, and that of her lover Charles woman actual, Stansfield, of Cheatham, Northamptonshire. But on the clergy list being consulted, behold ! no clergy' man corresponding to Mr. Lyle could he found . 15 lt dr police and the magistrates were then consu .e._ to w e e . and a telegraphic message being dispatched police at Cambridge, an answer was immediately ? a ceived that no young lady of that town whateve.rduett recently fled from her parents. It entirely avid efinc. therefore, that the tale of the girl was tion. She was, therefore, taken on Tuesday morn tion. ing before H. Bolingbroke, Esq., magistrate, whe , t o after a considerable length of interrogation, she..au..e mitted with many tears that she had assumed a Is e !. i a no name for fear of being taken back to her whom she was determined not to return; an d a her real name was Chippendale, er beiodga, navy agent, having offices in the Adelphi, 1 4F d e tha t and residing at Sloane-street, Chelsea. Sh e eal o fber both the name and address which she bad give n " s i. lover were incorrect ; that he was possessed deo? _ A fatber,o3l; derable property, and had some time since fat hero btained the licence for their marriage ; but that her . the would not consent, and, as she was not of age till lace end of this year, the marriage could not takes ,ad without such consent. She also st ated that sh ' run away for the second time (the present being , th s o e third) some months since, and had gone to Oxfo d ra i s meet her lover, but that, after waiting there B°lne te l ly: he did not come, and she was obliged to re, iott leaving her watch to pay her bill at the Red "' te a Inn, Nettlehead, where she had stayed. She stated that her father, though he would not consent that marriage, had always treated her kindly, but .is c e since the death of her mother, he had married a vocie°oo with several children, whose conduct was so tYr er Y s he that she could not bear to remain at ho keepingan hie believed that the cause of her lover not stopped promise to meet her was that her stepmother e his letters, and returned fictitious answers to Oa 11 1 " a She had, therefore, come down to cambridge:tio thence to Norwich, for the purpose of find in g s he Page, who would, no doubt, forward her Vie L ws ' w o, (Miss Page) having known her mother, who „ a do. when married, a member of the Society of -` r- the She added that she was well acquainted kith the Peases, eminent members of that society, at Dar e - f ro ton, and related to the family of Gurney. rne father had given her a good education, joclau":0: French and music, and she would take a governess's situation, in which Miss l o b.. would, no doubt, assist her, as that lady wa s 3 off scriber to the Governesses' Institution. This last ~_,. rative appeared to have some colour of truth in is, for tn ; r le e s name of Mr. Chippendale was found in the Direc there' be svillinskigt: at the address stated. The young woman "' yes ' ti lts' fore, provided for at the union-house until cools tion was made to Mr. Chippendale. When his an' t 0 , arrived on Thursday, however, its contents w% a long way towards proving that the whole story w: t a thorough cheat. He stated that the girl wu s a ll s och member of his family, and that he had he sr- e - yea accounts of her on previous occasions that he believed her to be an impostor. She denied these stat€' l . ) t i o a and reiterated her last statement, with the va r ' a s he that Mr. Chippendale had discarded her because was had been some trouble to him. On Thursday sheseds taken before the magistrates, with the view o f proe t t re.. ing against her for extortion, but as she h ebeige of ceived any money from Mr. Rogers, the , c n ot ' obtaining money under false pretences" ea w , bet be sustained, and she was therefore dischargeoloio with orders immediately to quit the Ow', a ular terminated what is probably one of the most sing an d cases of deception on record. The real oar ° or parentage and pursuits of the girl are as yet 1113 as app tained, and nothing is known which cnn Ore/ light on the subject. -. _ THE COUNTRY MARK E T 21.
