TIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1866. Central Criminal Court—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) CHARGE OF CHILD-MURDER. Margaret Baker, 25, unmarried, was indicted for the wilful murder of her female child. _ . Mr. Lewis arpeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribtou defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was cook in a gentleman's family at Upper Tooting, and that on the 15th of June she got up two or three times during the night and dressed herself, saying to a fellow-servant who slept in the same room with her that she was ill, and she continued to be so during the following day (Sunday). She continued ill all Sunday and Monday, and on Tuesday certain indica tions in the bed-room proved that she had given birth to a child. Mr. Ribton made a very forcible appeal on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Justice Keating having summed up the evidence, The jury returned a verdict of concealment of birth, and The learned Judge sentenced her two years' imprison ment with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Plato Sexton and Raymond Ayres were indicted for un lawfully assaulting and robbing Francis Allen. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Frank Allen, a seaman, was indicted for inflicting grievous bodily harm on the person of George Hitters. The prisoner was a seaman, and while at sea and en gaged on duty he wilfully left the wheel of the ship, whereby she was driven out of her course ; and when the mate remonstrated with him he struck him, and eventually he seized the prosecutor, and, with a knife in his hand, threatened to murder him. He was secured and sent home for trial. The jury found him guilty, and The Recorder sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) George Morris Mitchell, 38, agent, was indicted for stealing five pieces of paper, the property of the Incorpo rated Law Society of the United Kingdom. The prisoner, it was alleged, procured a number of books from the society to make extracts, and while the books were in his possession he removed certain pages from the books, which were afterwards found at his lodgings. The Jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty." , POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN UNHAPPY PAlR.—William Peck, a groom, living in North Bruton-mews, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, charged with assaulting his wife, Marie Peck. The complainant, a respectable-looking female, said — I have been married eight years to the prisoner, and have three children. On Monday my husband accused me of being intoxicated, and he then struck me and threatened to do for me. Mr. Tyrwhitt —Woro you intoxicated ? Complainant—l should be ashamed to be guilty of such thing. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Has he ill-treated you before ? Complainant—Yes, constantly, for the last two years Prisoner—Did you not go out and stop till three in the morning ? - Complainant—Yes, at a friend's house, but that was to escape your ill-usage. Mr. Tyrwhitt—A man who beats his wife can always invent Something against her. The prisoner will have to find two sureties in £•2O each to keep the peace for three months. The United States, Chili, and Peru. The Minister of Peru dOes himself the honour of transmitting to the editor of The Sun translation from the Spanish of ty-o official documents pub lished on the 16th of June last in Santiago de Chile by the Government of Chili. Peruvian Legation, 14, King-street, St. James's, August 11. (Translation.) Legation of the United States, Santiago do Chile, June 14, 1866. To his Excellency Alvaro Cobarrubias,—Sir,—Fonwell founded reasons I have hitherto not deemed it convenient to answer or contradict the numerous assertions which, from time to time, have appeared in the newspapers of this city, prejudicial to the repu' lie that I have the honour to represent, and extremely injurious to the friendship which has for so long a time existed between Chili and the United States; now, however, I feel convinced that to remain silent any longer would be to do my c,)untry and myself great injustice. I cannot permit the population of Chili to think that my Government should have sent to a sister Republic an agent that would perform a single act against her well-being or her honour, and much less to display such paltry duplicity as the false report of Mendez Nunez would induce them to infer. Your Excellency knows better than the rest of the in habitants the true motives that stimulate d me to mediate for peace, and that although my action was not official, yet that it was open and honourable in every respect. From the official report of the Spanish admiral it might be in ferred that I acted solely in the interest of Sp ain ; that I considered highly just and fair the unreasonable terms proposed for peace; that I openly offered my congratula tion to him and gave my approbation to his determination to destroy Valparaiso, and indeed that I in all respects ap proved of his conduct. To say that all this is not true — that it is not true not only in its wording but also in its meaning, is the object of the present communica tion. The first proposal submitted to your Excellency's consideration by Commodore Rodgers and by myself was the absolute cessation of hostilities, and a mutual salute, so that war should terminate by peaceful negotiation. I thought it consistent with my duty to recommend this pro posal, and only this, and it was refused by the Spanish admiral, as he himself declares in his official report. Far from recommending to the Government of Chili, or of supporting Admiral Mendez's ultimatum, which com prised in its terms the restitution of the ship Covadonga, with her flag and armament, in exchange for merchant vessels, Spanish prizes, I told him distinctly that Chili neither could nor would accept it, that there was an im mense difference between a ship-of-war taken in a fair engagement and helpless merchant vessels captured by a powerful squadron, which latter could derive very little honour from their capture, and your Excellency will doubt less recollect that when I presented to you these condi tions of the Spanish admiral, then not considered under the appearance of an ultimatum, I took particular care to explain that I merely proposed them to your Excellency as coming from him, for what they were worth, and that they were by no means recommended by me. The admiral says further " that Commodore Rodgers approved of his resolution to bombard Valparaiso," and that I repeated the same words. This is also contrary to the truth. Not only did I not approve of so unjust an act, but I advised him to delay the execution of his sanguinary orders, and, until he should have received new instructions from his Government, not to carry into effect an act that would dishonour Spain for ever. I told him when I retired that we had met and should separate on friendly terms; that in the fulfilment of our respective duties, each ought to be the judge of his own acts; and that if I should find it necessary to enter into a conflict with him, I hoped that this would not alter the respect which one soldier should have towards another. By my protest against the bom bardment of Valparaiso, of which I herewith enclose a copy, your Excellency will perceive that I did not approve by a single word the conduct adopted by Spain, and that her agent in his official report has represented in a manner entirely false my person and my sentiments towards the Government and the people amongst whom I have been sent to reside. I saw Admiral Nunez, not in an official character, but as a private individual, who anxiously desired peace between two nations, to which war could not produce any good, but would, on the contrary, inflict much evil, not only on them, but to commerce and civilisation. I had no dispute with him, and if because I communicated with him frankly and openly, and because I did not treat him nor leave him coldly, he believes that I sympathised with Spain, he is under a very great mistake. I avail myself of this opportunity to offer to your Excel lency the assurance of my distinguished consideration. (Signed) J. KiLPATRICK. • (Translation.) Legation of the United States in Chili, Valparaiso, March 28, 1866. Tho undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, has the honour to acknowledge receipt of the note directed to him by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of her Catholic Ma jesty's squadron in the Pacific, her Catholic Majesty's Plenipotentiary, under date of the 27th inst., accompanied by a manifesto addressed by his Excellency to the repre sentatives resident in Chili of foreign nations. In this document his Excellency is pleased to assign the reasons which in his opinion justify the employment by the forces under his command of hostilities of extreme rigour against the port of Valparaiso and others on the coast of Chili, a period of four days being granted for the removal to a place of safety of the old, the children, and the infirm. The undersigned has transmitted copies of the said mani festo to his colleagues of the diplomatic body. On his part he does not consider himself called upon to analyse the causes of the present war, or the fruitlessness of the exertions which have been made until now to put an end to it, by conciliatory means or . by the force of arms ; but he considers himself called upon to make urgent represen tations, and to protest solemnly against the destruction of a port purely commercial, and almost the exclusive pro perty of inoffensive neutrals. His Excellency affirms that the establishment of the blockade on the coasts of Chili was conducted with lenity, and that neutrals have been cour teously treated; but after finding these means inefficient to obtain the desired reparation ,on the part of Chili, the forces under his command made two distinct attempts to obtain by hostile attack the satisfaction re quired by Spain ; and finally, that not having been able to succeed on account of insurmountable natural obstacles, it becomes his duty to subject Chili to the rigours of war, and in consequence that he will open fire with the guns of his squadron upon Valparaiso and any other port that he may deem expedient, as a terrible act of hostility legitima tised for the reasons before stated, and which will throw the responsibility cf all the evils that may result exclu sively on the Government of Chili. These reasons fail to satisfy the undersigned, as they will also fail to satisfy civilised nations of his Excellency the Spanish admiral being justified in having recourse to a class of hostilities characterised by his Excellency himself with great reason as terrible to chastise an enemy, whom, by such a mode of proceeding, he would be far from chas tising by legitimate means of war. Although the right of belligerents permits recourse to such extreme measures with a view to carrying out military operations properly so called, it does not include the necessary destruction of private property when no result advantageous to the legi timate ends of the war can thereby be attained. Interna tional law expressly exempts from destruction purely com mercial towns such as Valparaiso, and the undersigned would request his excellency to very seriously consider the immense loss that the neutral residents are likely to under go, considering the impossibility they find themselves in of removing, within the short term granted them, their household furniture, their effects, and their merchandise. Should his . Excellency, notwithstanding, persevere in his intention of bombarding the port of Valparaiso in spite of the grave representations which I have made above, it only remains for the undersigned to reiterate in the most decided manner, in the name of his Government, his most solemn protest against the said act as unusual, unneces sary, and repugnant to the laws and customs of civilised nations ; reserving to his Government the right of pursu ing the course which it may deem proper, in view of these premises. The undersigned has the honour to renew to his Excel lency the Commander-in-chief of the naval forces of her Catholic Majesty in the Pacific, and her Plenipotentiary, the assurance of his distinguished consideration.

ALLEGED UNMANLY ATTACK UPON A WOMAN.—A young man, who gave the name of James King, was charged with violently assaulting Emily Rigby, whose, head bore marks of ill-treatment. Complainant said she was standing on Friday night last 'with her sister near the Gun Tavern in Lupus street, Pimlico, when the defendant, who had been on terms of intimacy with her sister, suddenly came in sight and rushed towards them. Her sister ran away, when he immediately attacked her by knocking her down and then kicking her on the head and arms. Her head was bathed for an hour or two, and then she went to St. George's Hos pital, of which she is still an in-patient. Mr. Selfe—Did anything pass between you before he struck you ? Complainant—Not a word. I had not given him any offence or any provocation. Charles Tapping, of 125, Lupus-street, said he was in Lupus-street between 10 and 11 o'clock last Friday night, and saw defendant run towards the complainant and knock her down with a blow on the breast. She gave him no provocation, and he thought, of course, that they were man and wife. Mr. Selfe—Oh, yes ; he thought he was exercising his marital rights. (Laughter.) Witness— After he had done it he ran away. Ho seemed to know very well what he was about. Defendant denied the assault, and the sister, in her de sire to screen him, endeavoured, in direct opposition to the disinterested witness, to show that complainant was very drunk, and fell down and hurt herself. The officer who took defendant into custody proved that complainant's sister threatened her violently, and said that she knocked her down. A witness was afterwards produced, who said that de fendant knocked complainant down by accident in trying to strike her sister. Mr. Selfe fined him 20s. or 14 days. THAMES. AN INORDINATE LOVE OF SWEETMEATS.—A dirty, ill dressed boy, with a head of hair that sadly wanted comb ing and the attentions of a hair-dresser, who gave the name of William Johnson, was brought before Mr. Par tridge, charged with stealing a quantity of sweetmeats and marbles, the property of Thomas Henry Capon, of No. 52, Mansell-street, Whitechapel. Mrs. Elizabeth Capon said the prisoner came into her shop and took the little gin bottles off the counter and began to eat them as fast as he was able. (Laughter.) Mr. Partridge—Eat gin bottles ! How could he do that ? (Great laughter.) The witness said her gin bottles were made of sugar, and soon disappeared down the prisoner's throat. (A laugh.) He then devoured three tarts—(roars of laughter) —lollipops, also elu-campune, scissors, and other choice sweetmeats. He cleared her counter, and proved to be a very Dando for sweets. She said "I hope you intend to pay for what you have eaten?" to which he replied, n Certainly, but I must have a bottle of ginger beer to wash down the sweets.' She uncorked a bottle of ginger beer, which he drank, and finished by breaking the bottle. ' She then de manded the money for the sweetmeats, and he refused to pay her, and took a pocket-full of marbles from a bowl. Mr. Partridge—Sweet marbles. Witness—No, sir ; stone marbles. John Pales, a police constable, No. 99 H, said he took the prisoner into custody and found 19 marbles upon! him. The prisoner was charged with eating gin bottles, scissors, tarts, and custards ; and be admitted that he had a de lightful tuck out—(laughter)—but he had no money to pay for anything, and would pay presently. The prisoner afterwards said, "Base is the slave who pays." (Laugh ter.) Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner his age and occupa- tion. The Prisoner—l am nineteen and a sailmaker. Mr. Partridge—You are not nineteen surely ? The Prisoner—Yes, I am next birthday. Mr. Partridge—What do you mean by going into this woman's shop and devouring her sweetmeats ? The Prisoner —I don't know. Pales said the prisoner h'td been. in custody before for attempting to rob the wife of a corn porter. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week. THE CHOLERA AND BRANDY.—EIiza Walker, aged 64, a woman,charged with being drunk and dis in a pauper's dress and large white cap thin, on p pale-faced achead,was orderly. A police constable said the prisoner was brought before his worship yesterday for being refractory in the work house of St. George - in -the-East, of which she was an in mate, and discharged because tho porter could not get to tho court in time to give evidence against her. The prisoner said that after she was discharged a gen tleman gave her some brandy to keep the cholera away. She was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment and hard labour. ,uspected Child Murgr. Last evening, at six o'clock, Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, opened an inquest in the board room of Camberwell Workhouse, respecting the death of a male child, found in the Grand Surrey Canal. Joseph Murrell said that he was in the service of Mr. Neville, the proprietor of the Watermen's Arms, in Hill street, whose premises adjoin the Surrey Canal. Yesterday (Monday) morning, at half-past 10 o'clock, he was on his premises, when he saw a fiat fish-basket between two boats. He raised it, and the basket fell to pieces, and a bundle came out of it. It was wrapped up in a kind of calico, and bound round with cord, and by pressing it with the sticks he found that it contained the body of a child. He gave the deceased to the parish officer (Mr. W oodman). Tho body was so badly decomposed that he could not handle it. Mr. Woodman said•that from information he received he went to the Watermen's Arms beerhouse, and received the body of a dead male child. He weighed the body, and found that it was of full growth. The body was wrapped in a portion of an old sheet and brown paper. The body was much soddened, and appeared to have been in the water five or six days. The learned Coroner put it to the jury whether they would like to adjourn, to have an autopsy of the body. The body was in such a state of decomposition that it appeared to him that it would be almost impossible to tell Whether the lungs bad been inflated or not. Therefore, if they did not require any further evidence ho should advise the jury to return an open verdict. The jury returned a verdict of "Found Drowned." Fatal Case ofßurning. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at the Duke of Clarence, Penton-street,! Kennington-road, on the body of a little girl, aged seven years, named Anna Buddings, whose parents reside at Nine Elms. The evidence proved that the unfortunate child, on Monday week, having procured a quantity of shavings, struck e gu athem,ssethlierrecltoothesbecame ignited, and she and in her anxiety to ish was terribly burned. She was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, hut in spite of all that co uld be done the child died on Monday. . extinligthhte fla andm Verdict, " Accidental Death."

POLICE CONFERENCE. —On Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the members of the police and constabulary forces of the United Kingdom Was held at the Borough Police-station, Windsor, for the purpose of considering several matters relating to the rules of the force, as affect ing&c. Mr. Maxwell, constabledeputy-chiefuluotfulDaleaysosnu=ded, and the meeting superannuation, was addressed by Mr. Gibson, chief clerk of the Hants force ; Mr. C. Stretten, deputy-chief constable of the Young, Bedford; Mr. Hodg kinson,county of ridge; Eagle Insurance Company. The annual general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held on Friday, August 10, at their offices, Ludgate-hill. The chair was occupied by Charles Chat field, Esq. The notico convening the meeting and also the report wore read. The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, the year which has just passed has been a very satisfactory one to this company, for in it has taken place the amalgamation with the Na tional Mercantile Company, and we have also commenced operations for building our new house in Pall-mall, and I hope, when we have another annual meeting, it will take place in the new office, which will have a room fitted for the purpose, not so large as this perhaps, but quite large enough for the purpose for which we shall require it. I am happy to be able to say that since the amalgamation everything has gone on harmoniously, and it is my belief, and I may say also the general belief of the directors, that the result will be advantageous to both companies. (Hear, hear.) In making a comparison of the accounts of the past year with those of the preceding year, it is rather difficult to be very clear, because of the alterations in the foundation of the accounts; the year before we had our own accounts only to look to, and now these accounts are the combined accounts of the two companies. You have had those accounts read to you, and 1 do not know that I can throw much light upon them, further than to state that the balance of the account is £69,000, and is more than it was before. The previous year there was a difference of £50,000 ; now, as I have said, it is £69,000, which is not entirely owing to the amalgamation with the other com pany, for the year before included an item of receipts which this past year does not—l allude to the amount received for profit on realisation of reversions. This year reversions have not dropped in, and therefore we are in a better po sition than a cursory view would appear to make us, for we have not had that profit on realisation of re versions to add to our amount ; and yet the balance, or rather the amount, is £69,000 instead of £50,000, without having had that profit to help to swell it. (Cheers.) With regard to new business, it is not quite so large as the year previous. The premiums are less, but they are not so much less as they appear to be when you consider that a considerable portion of the new premiums for the former year were laid out again in re-assurance, so although there appears a considerable difference, it is, as I have said, much less than it appears. The expenses of management are just about the same as in the year before, and, I believe, about the same as they are likely to continue. The ex penses of management of the National Mercantile, included in these accounts, will eventually cease altogether; indeed, they will I believe cease at once, and so far the combined companies will be carried on at a less expense than they were separately, and that will constitute a considerable portion of the benefit to be derived from the amalgamation. The claims on the decease of lives in our own company would appear at a smaller figure if it stood alone ; but this amount of claims is for the two companies. Next year we shall present you with the full accounts of the amalgamated companies, and then we shall be able to make a better comparison. This is the fourth year of our quinquennial period, and next year will be the fifth, and consequently the bonus year; and we we have no reason to doubt but that we shall be able to present to you such a statement as will be deemed satisfactory. (Cheers.) lam not aware that there is anything else for me to say, but I shall be very happy to answer any questions which any gentleman may put to me. I now beg to move that the report and accounts be received and adopted. Mr. RUSSELL —Following the precedent (and a good one it is) which is invariably set by the chairman of this com pany, I beg, without remarks, to second the motion made by the chairman for the adoption of the report. Mr. J. DoANE—Two years ago I put a question with re spect to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, and as to .whether, when they took our premises, they paid for them. I was told they had not paid, but were going to pay interest ; I will now ask whether they have paid the principal, or whether any arrangement has been come to with them ? I may also remark that I think there is a discrepancy in the amount of the proprietors' fund as it stands here, and the amount as read by the secre tary—it stands here at £178,340, but I think that he read the amount differently. Will you kindly explain how it is ? The CHAIRMAN—With respect to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, I am happy to say they owe us nothing—we have received everything from them which they owed us. With respect to the discrepancy in the proprietors' funds, I may state that the number of shares varies a little, for sometimes when shares have been for sale the shareholders have brought them to us, and if we think it desirable we purchase them. That is the rea- son a little alteration takes place from time to time in what is called the proprietors' fund, and it causes that apparent discrepancy, Mr. J. DOAYS —Rave we the right, under the deed, to take the shares and cancel them? The CuAtn.m. , ,.);— Yes, we have the power, Mr. J. DoAn—Then we have really oancelled so many shares ? The CHAIRMAN—We have. Mr. J. DOANE—It will be so much the better for the other shareholders. (Cheers.) Sir H. D. WOLFF —I am sure we must all be gratified with the report, and also pleased to find that the directors have carried on so strictly the business which they under took to carry on. (Hear, hear.) The chairman says that in the new building the meeting room will bo smaller, but I have no doubt it will be large enough for the purpose ; in my experience of companies the confi dence of the shareholders in the directors is measured by the scantiness of their attendance at the annual meetings. (Cheers.) The report is especially gratifying, as we are now approaching that golden dawn which visits us only once in five years, and I am sure, from the manner in which the business is conducted, that we shall have every reason to be satisfied with the report which the directors will next year make to us. I shall, in a few minutes, take the liberty of proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors for the excellent manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the company. The resolution for the adoption of the report was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN —I now beg to propose that Mr. Thomas Allen be re-elected an auditor of the company. Mr. WAHAEN DE LA RUE seconded the resolution, which was\ carried unanimously. Sir H. D. WOLVF—I now beg to move that the best thanks of the shareholders be given to the chairman and directors for their attention to the affairs of the company. The resolution was seconded by Mr. NELSON and carried. The CHAIRMAN--Gentlemen, I bog to return thanks for the vote which you have just p . assed,and to assure you that it will be our endeavour at all times to give our best ser- Tices to the advancement of this company, and, in short, to do everything in our power to promote your interests. (Cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. Her Majesty's gun surveying vessel Nassau, 4, commissioned by Capt. Mayne for the Pacific, and under orders to proceed to the Straits of Magellan, has been detained at Woolwich for a few days in order to undergo some alterations suggested by Capt. Mayne, such as the supply of bow stoppers for the chain cable, &c. She will probably leave Woolwich oq Mouday next for Greenhithe to adjust compasses, WOLVERHAMPTON RACES—THis DAY.

EXECUTION AT EXETER.—Grant was executed this morning for the murder of a boy named Bobbier. Six thousand persons. were present, and were very orderly. The culprit was remarkably firm, and shook hands with Calcraft. The bolt was drawn at six minutes past eight. The body struggled slightly. A REMARKABLE BULLETIN.—In Fredonia, New York, the Health Board, in order to stir the people to action with regard to cleaning up, have posted the follow ing notice :—" The cholera is coming ! By order of the committee." We lately gave an account of the coolie trade between Macao and South America, and told how the men were obtained, and their fate after reach ing their destination. We mentioned that the most appalling tragedies often followed on the kidnap ping of these unfortunates, from the desperate at tempts made by them to seize on the ship during the passage. An instance has lately come to light which illustrates very strongly the desperate extre mities to which they are prepared to go in the hope of relief. The Napoleon Canevero sailed from Macao on March 8, with a crew of 40 men and 663 coolies. An attempt was made by the coolies to poison the ship's officers, who seized the ringleaders and flogged them. There were 200 of the Chinese banded in this conspiracy, their object being to cap ture the ship. The day after leaving a rush was made to overpower the crew, who, being arme d and prepared, shot thirty. The deck . s a tc w hes, cleared, and the crew fired down the but failed in inducing the coolies. to the sea_ With a view to diverting the at t i enhtilloen some of the men the ship was set on fire.

No such vacuum as this can, in fact, be pro duced even by ou r m os t powerful air-pumps. There re mains the phenomenon of Baily's Beads. But it is gene rally agreed amongst astronomers that these appearances are to be referred to a totally different kind of solution Schrceter, indeed, was induced to think ho had detected a lunar twilight, through observing a faint glimmer at the extreme cusps of the crescent soon after new moon. From this he could infer the existence of an atmosphere to a cal culated height of 450 metres above the mean level of the plains. But his observation has not been borne out by later experimentalists. On the contrary the extreme sharp ness of the lunar shadows, and their intense darkness, ex tending equally from the top to the bottom of the moun tains, together with the absence of gradations or differences of tint, forbid the idea of g aseous or atmospheric strata of varying intentiity.—Saturday Review, 100 st 20 204 10 100 ' 2 F
