The motion of Mr. SEELY last evening found a good many supporters, and it will probably be ap proved out of doors as well as in the House ; but as it interfered with the patronage system always in favour at the Admiralty, the Government contrived to prolong the debate until they had recruited their ranks, collected their scattered forces, and reversed the minority of two by a majority of twenty-seven. Nevertheless, Mr. SEELY had reason on his side, and was able to support his motion not only by argu ment, but by fact. There can hardly be a difference of opinion as to the enormous expense yearly in curred in our dockyards, and the Secretary of the Admiralty and the Junior Lord have often had con siderable difficulty in defending the mismanagement of their subordinates, and in making the worse appear the better cause. Mr. SZELY attributes a great part of this extravagance to the incompetency of the superintending officers, who are always naval men, and consequently, in his opinion, not qualified to supervis e h mac inery and shipbuilding. Without casting any 'aspersion on the intelligence and public spirit of these gentlemen, he considers that the mere fact of there being naval officers did not necessarily constitute them judge s of the efficient and econo inh..al management of the dockyard;;. The hon. mem lwr did not object to the appointment of naval men 0 - willed they were duly qualified, and lie urged that t ; ic y should be possessed of the requisite technical knowledge to enable them to exercise a sharp super vision over the proceedings of their subordinates. " It was not his wish to confine such appointments to civilians, but if given by preference to officers of the Navy, it ought to be seen that they possess the requisite qualifications. They should not be ex cluded, but the most competent men, whether sailors or civilians, should be selected to control and direct the expenditure of the Royal dockyards." This is only the language of prudence and common sense, and the terms of the motion were equally so That it is inexpedient to continue the practice of appointing naval officers who are not possessed of a technical knowledge of the business carried on in When people take up ideas they are very apt to make mistakes and run into extremes. The dogs in the metropolis seem likely this year to fall vic tims to the fears and fancies of certain prejudiced parties. Last night Mr. DAMER went so far as to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he did not think it advisable to bring in a bill to enable the police to destroy by strychnine or other means " all dogs going about without collars and the addresses of their owners thereon." Sir G. GREY replied in a proper manner to this extrordi , nary proposal. He said that the Metropolitan Police Act already provided that if any dog was allowed to go at large, if it was in a rabid state, its owner might be fined five pounds, and also the owner was amenable to common law for the injuries inflicted by such dogs, and the right hon. baronet added that he did not see what further provision could well be adopted. He did not say that the " fact of a dog having a collar round his neck, with the name of the owner, would render him less dan gerous," nor can any one else see it, we should imagine. Sir G. GREY said that a good plan would be to enact that dogs at large should wear some kind of muzzle which would prevent them from biting without confining their mouths. The French have a very ingenious kind of muzzle which answers this purpose, and it would be well if those owners of dogs who can afford it would procure this desir able requisite. The manufacturers and tradesmen might also, with advantage, avail themselves of this idea. It naturally suggests itself to the mind, when hearing and reading of all these complaints and tirades against the dogs of the metropolis, that if more care and consideration were adopted there would he less risk to the public, and infinitely less likelihood of so many dogs going mad. What is more likely to produce a rabid state among these animals in sultry weather than the cruel man ner in. which they are often treated? Boys and men hunt and drive them about for their amusement in the most reckless fashion, and get up a cry that some poor creature is mad, until they create the evil they pretend to dread. The manner in which dogs are treated at race-courses is disgraceful, and reflects the greatest discredit upon all the authori ties of those places of public resort and amusement. The neglect to provide the animals with water is often carried to a culpable degree, but it is satis factory to know that by the latest arrangements at the cattle-markets the cattle are enabled to quench their thirst ; but until very recently they were kept for hours in a wretched state, suffering greatly, and all from their mismanagement and gross care lessness. If the police direct their energies to put ting down the cruel sport of hunting about stray dogs they will be more usefully employed in de stroying them causelessly. There is nothing so absurd and .unreasonable as to go to such extreme lengths without taking the trouble to consider over the matter a little. According to the theory of these alarmists it would be safer and better to de stroy all dogs, and thus the most faithful and intel ligent animal that the CREATOR has bestowed upon man would be sacrificed without a cause, for want of due precaution and necessary vigilance. Such folly is quite beneath the intelligence of the present day, and it would be more profitable and praise worthy for social and domestic reformers to enter upon a crusade for the extinction of cruelty than to wage warfare against t rue of animal whoets h er MAJESTY'S dockyards to the office of superinten- fidelity and devotion should inspire interest and dent thereof, and the practice of limiting their tenure clai m "protection. of office to a period of five years." Mr. SEELY pointed out that the successive Boards of Admiralty had been perfectly aware of the mismanagemeßt prevailing, for they have been constantly appointing commissions and committees ever since 1796. They would not, however, adopt the true remedy of put ting a practical man of business at the head of their works, and perhaps this shows that the fervour of their reforming spirit is not very great. Mr. SEELY, in the long list of figures which he quoted last evening, gave ample evidence of the extravagance going on in our dockyards—a fact with which the taxpayers of this country are already painfully familiar. Quoting from. the last return on Dockyards and Steam Factories, he showed that at Chatham boats were fitted out at half the rate book price, while at Portsmouth they cost double the rate book price, or four times as much as at Chatham. But his revelations of the cost of the Lead Mills were more extraordinary, of which the following is a sample :—The labour in making 11,730 cwt. of melted load, Admiralty cost 2s. 6d. per cwt., was equal to £1,466 ; ditto, in the market, would be 3d. per cwt., equal to £146 ; 3,322 cwt. pipe lead, Admiralty cost 4s. 10d. per cwt., equal to £BO2 ; ditto, in the market, 3d. per cwt., equal to £42, difference £760. So that the loss to the Admiralty, and the consequent waste of the public money on these heads alone during 1861-2, was no less than £2,080. The other items are, for the most part, on the same scale, and when this goes on in all the Royal Dockyards we need not wonder at the ever-growing estimates. The prices paid for the articles bought correspond to the outlay at the mills. The Admiralty are now paying for anchors of a certain weight 60s. per cwt., while the average price of four makers is 335. 4d. Mr. SEELY made a calculation by which he showed the House that 25,400 cwt. of anchors cost the Admiralty £60,330, while the same size anchors, bought in open market, would cost £36,458. If we are to go on spending £20,000 too much in every £60,000, there is not much hope of a reduction in the estimates ; but when we come to the repairs and alterations, matters are even worse. The case of the Wasp, built in 1850, which has since cost in repairs over £46,000, and might be bought now for £40,000, is a fair sample. It is very clear that vigorous reform is needed; and when Mr. SEELY estimated the annual waste at the Admiralty to be nearly a million of money, he was probably not far from the truth. Yet we go on, year after year, complaining and remon strating, but doing nothing towards amendment. Even after Mr. SEELY'S industrious exposition, Lord CLARENCE PAGET'S unsatisfactory answer, and Mr. BRIGHT'S vigorous and sensible address, the House consented to negative the motion. As Mr. BRIGHT very justly pointed out, nothing could be more reasonable than the motion, which did not stipulate that civilians must necessarily be at the head of the dockyards, but merely that when a naval officer was appointed he should be fully com petent to discharge the public duties which he un dertook. If the House, observed the hon. member for Birmingham, rejected this motion it would be tantamount to declaring that it was right to appoint a naval officer, who knew nothing of the business which he undertook. Mr. BRIGHT recommended the Government to accept the resolu tion, and certainly, considering Lord C. PAGET'S reforming antecedents, it would have been more consistent to have done so. It was easy, however, to escape on general grounds, and to talk about the , importance of getting good articles rather than cheap ones—only the unfortunate thing is that there is no proof that the articles purchased or produced by the Admiralty are any better than the cheaper ones elsewhere. The matter now rests with the electors, who, we hope, will obtain from their repre sentatives some definite pledge of bestirring them selves to effect some substantial reform. 'The Upper House of the Diet in Prnmia are now car ryi ng on the game with vigour, and seem re solved to show that they can exhibit as much de termis iation on their side as the Chamber of Depu ties h. ave done. In yesterday's sitting all the proposals of the committee on the Budget were agreed to by a large majority. Before this decision was arrived at the Minister of Finance addressed the House, and declared that the Cabinet believed that the question of the Budget was of very great importance. They do not go on as if they thought so, it must be confessed, but, of course, it is a very convenient excuse to say so in order to gain their point. In consequence of this notion the intention of the Government is to fix a nominal sum for the public expenditure, it being deemed impossible to accept the Budget voted by the Chamber of Depu ties. This new affair is to be considered the State Budget in the absence of the one voted by the Chamber. The estimates of the expenditure will be regulated by an understanding between the Minis ters, and submitted for the KING'S sanction, and published after the end of the session, but not as a law. This intelligence was partly anticipated yes terday by the receipt of the manner in which the Upper House took up the question of the Budget, but not less must it strike every one as the most un popular and impolitic course which the higher branch of the Legislature can pursue. It is flying in the face of the representatives of the people, and proclaiming in an unmistakeable manner that they are sworn enemies to the path of progress, and intend henceforward to oppose it might and main. This King's Budget is a signification of the style in which Herr BISMARCK and his coadjutors intend to carry on affairs now that they think they are esta blished in their places. They may, however, reckon without their host, and had better remember that pride goes before a fall. The Prussian people are slow and lethargic—they want the spirit of the French, and they lack the fire of the Italians—but when their patience is exhausted they will prove dangerous customers to deal with. It is a very dangerous and desperate game which Herr Ms maßeK is playing, thus to trifle with the rights of the Constitution and to fling away the liberties of the people in so reckless a style and inconsiderate a fashion. The day of reckoning will surely come, and none will pity him and his colleagues the dis grace and obloquy which will fall upon them. It is quite unnecessary to resort to the extreme mea sures they have now decided upon, and it is only surprising that they do not see the absurd figure they make before the world in thus exhibiting the want of unanimity that exists in Prussia concerning the Danish war. The wrong and unseemly style which characterised the conduct of their undertaking has already brought most unpleasant consequences to its authors and projectors. They are now trying by bold and unscrupulous acts to carry to the end their unwarrantable scheme of last year ; and though the final issue of the affair is veiled in the mists of futurity, we may safely predict a most un satisfactory and discreditable end. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS-JUNE 16. THE BALLOT. On the motion for going into committee of supply, amendment proposed, to add after the word " That" in the original question the words "as a general election is impending, and as we have no law which can put down the intimidation of voters nor prevent bribery, it is there fore expedient that a trial should be given to the vote by ballot." Question put, " That these words be there added." The house divided—Ayes, 74 Noes, 118. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JUNE 17. In yesterday's sitting of the Lower House of the Reichsrath, Herr von Schmerling gave some re assuring explanations relative to Art. 13 of the Constitution, which empowers the Ministry, at the time the Reichsrath may not be sitting, to take certain urgent measures, for which they are, how ever, bound to render an account to the House upon its reassembling. The Government, said the Minister, will pursue the same course as hitherto, by not abusing the power conferred by this article for legislative purposes. The guarantee for this lies in the repeated promises of the Emperor to uphold the Constitution. Neither does the Government contemplate impairing, on the ground of this article, the legislative powers of Hungary and Transylvania. The Lower House of the Reichsrath agreed to day, by a very large majority, to the proposals for the modification of Article 13 of the Constitution, in such a manner as to secure Parliamentary rights during the recess. MEXICO. NEW YORK, JUNE 6. Mexican advices received here state that the intelligence of Dr. Gwin having been appointed director of the mines in Sonora is authentic. American emigrants will be invited to that pro vince, upon the understanding that those coming with peaceful intentions will be protected, and those presenting themselves in arms will meet a hostile reception. The Emperor Maximilian is understood to have granted France the right of working, but not of possession. It is reported that the French will not leave Mexico until the development of the riches of Sonora will pay the expenses they have incurred in the war. The constitution given to the province will be of the most liberal kind, and based upon that of California. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENII\G, JUNE 17, 1865. AYES-7C Adam, W. P. Foley, H. W.

CHEIZBOURG AND POOLE.—On Tuesday last the municipality of Cherbourg entertained the Mayor and corporation of Poole and the directors of the Somerset and Dorset Railway Company at Cherbourg, on the opening of a new line of steamers running between the towns just mentioned. At the banquet, which took place in the hall of the new baths, there were present the Mayor and President of the Chamber of Commerce of Cherbourg, the Admiral of the Port, the Sous Prefet, Count do Tocqueville, Count do Beranger, M. Alexandre Dumas, the authorities of the Chemin de Fer de l'Ouest, the English Consul, Mr. H. Hamond. The English visitors were accompanied by Mr. Henry Seymour, M.P., for Poole. The Mayor of Cherbourg proposed " The health of Queen Victoria," and the Eng lish Consul " The Emperor of the French." The Admiral of the port then gave the toast of " The English Army and Navy," in an excellent English speech. Mr. H. Sey mour proposed in French "The health of the Mayor of Cherbourg." In doing so, he said the now line of steamers would unite the west of France and the west of England. The railway, the directors of which were present, and which had just been finished, connected Poole, through the fertile valleys of Dorset and Somerset, with the rich mineral district of South Wales. In that country there was a large and prosperous population, likelyito want the very articles which France coul d best supply—viz., pro visions and dress. The same railway opened a direct western route to the manufacturing counties of the north. From Cherbourg, on the French side of the Channel, there wero railways to Tours and Paris, and a direct railway route through the western ctties of Franco to the Spanish frontier. Between all these linos arrangements had boon made to facilitate the passage of goods and passengers, and there could be no doubt that the new steamers would open a great western communication between the cen tres of manufacturing industry in Franco and England. He believed commerce to be the true civiliser of nations —a truth the Emperor had enforced when he proposed the treaty of 1860. Since then England had been invaded not by French soldiers, but by French merchandise, andthe entente cordiale had never been closer. Ile had road with pleasure that an English railway bad ordered 15 locomotives of a French house, and it had been predicted that Gladia_ tour was only the first of a line of conquerors. Competi tion appeared to have developed in Franco powers which had hitherto been unknown, and French diplomacy was ex tending the same advantages to other European countries. M. Alexandre Dumas proposed "the memory of William Shakspeare," and the proceedings were brought to a close.

On that day 332 new patients were admitted, and 235 left cured ; 96 died ; there still remain 3,984 under treatment. The Post du Nord publishes the following details of the commerce of Odessa : " Up to the end of April mere than 10,000,000 of pouds of agricultural produce were exported from Odessa ; 433 foreign and trading vessels entered the port, and 232 coasting vessels ; 400 trading ships and 335 coasting vessels sailed from Odessa ; mer chandise to the value of 8,000,000 roubles was ex ported, and articles to the value of 3,750,000 sliver roubles imported." The Cronstadt Gazette publishes the following : " On the night of the 12th June Aide-de-Camp General Novosselsky, Commander-in-Chief of the port of Cronstadt, hoisted his flag, which indicated that the fleet in the roadstead was to form into divi sions. It will form three squadrons. The first will consist of ironclads, under Rear-Admiral Likhat chew, who will hoist his flag on board the Rurik. This squadron will consist of the ironclad frigate Sebastopol, the floating batteriesPrcvenetz and Ne tronm6nia, the double-towered Smertch, and the monitors Vestchoun, Roldoun, Latnik, Ou ragan, Bronenossetz, Tifon, Edinorog, Stre letz, Lava, and Peroun, the frigates Rurik and 'Vladimir, the screw corvette Griden, the steam clipper Jakhont, the steamer Ilmen, and the screw steamar Koldountchik. All these vessels will go through a series of evolutions. " The second squadron, under Rear-Admiral Lessowsky, will consist of the screw frigates Alexandre-Gewsky and Oleg, the screw corvette Vitiaz, and steam clipper Almaz.

PRISONERS FOR DEBT.—A return ordered on the 20th of March, showing the number of persons in actual custody in the prisons of England for debt, or for contempt, by reason of non-payment of money, gives a list of 96 such prisoners in Whitecross-streot Prison. Three of them aro persons who were removed hither from the Queen's Prison in the Borough-road when that ceased to be a debtors' prison. One of these was committed in 1843, another in 1847 ; the third, who was committed in 1861, was bailed out of custody in September, 1861, under the Insolvent Debtors' Act, but remanded into custody at his own request by the Bankruptcy Court in November. The country prisons send a list of 316 prisoners, one committed in 1862, two in 1863, a few in 1864, but the mass in 1865. A MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY.—In the Highland parish of Abernethy, a young man proposes to open a lottery under the following conditions:—All widows and maidens who have not attained the age of 32 are invited to buy of him a ticket at the price of 103. After 300 tickets are sold at this figure the drawing will take place. There will be only one prize, and it will be the right of the fortu nate lady who wins it to claim the young gentleman for her husband, and partake with him the comforts to be de rived from the £l5O produced by the lottery. —Banffshire ikurnat. The Robbery LITERATURE. Impressions of Life at Home and Abroad. By Lieut.- Colonel Lord Eustace Cecil. One vol., pp. 277. Hurst and Blackett. These Impressions of Life, in various aspects and in very different scenes, first appeared in a periodical, and are well worthy of being now reprinted in a collected form. Lord Eustace Cecil has been no inattentive observer of men and manners wherever fortune may have directed his steps. His op portunities for observation, moreover, have been singularly extensive, witness the sub jects of some of these " Impressions." Beginning with " a:Fortnight in Hayti, " in which we obtain a vivid glimpse of the dark republic on the very morrow of the revolution, we are conducted in " a ride in Barbary," on a brief visit to Tangiers, where we are told "Victoria-street, Rue Louis Napoleon, and Calle de la Reina Isabella, reciprocate in close proximity the entente cordiale of their respective sovereigns." We next investigate " Prison Life in Paris," and then, in company with an experienced police detective of either nation, explore the mys teries of " After Dark in New York," and the secret horrors of the " Dens of London." Some of the chapters of this book, in which education and the treatment of criminals and the different systems of Convict Discipline in England and France are earnestly considered, are well worthy of the atten tive perusal of the political moralist and the phil anthropist. The last article, "On the Future Prospects of Younger Sons," is remarkable as being written by one of themselves, and the levelling views which it advocates will startle not a few of those who cling to privileges and penalties of high birth. The Autographic Mirror. Vol. 11. Lithographed by Vincent Brooks. Office, 13, Burleigh-street, Strand. Almost—to apply Cassio's panegyric—" a more excellent vol. than t'other !" Not meaning it, by any means, invidiously, we had all but dubbed it —Second Best! It is, unquestionably, from begin ning to end, very readable, very curious—full of interest and full of character. But, for that matter, how possibly could it have been otherwise, looking at its contents.? Among which we observe—A note from Mazzini, the champion of the moral dagger. One from W. M. Thackeray to W. 8., not, of course, the "W. B." One from Tom Campbell, the Poet, asking (his apothecary, evidently) for " some laxative pills." One—a back -hander in the style of its caligraphy (like Thac'ceray's, for that matter)—from Douglas Jerrold. A neat little scrawl from Wm. Etty, the flesh-painter; and another from Fanny Kemble, the actress, and daughter, and niece, and sister of actors and actresses greater than herself. A fac-simile is here, again, of Thackeray's comic song of " The Three Sailors"—really the drollest extravagance iu the shape of a comic song that ever was penned—and yet reputed to have been originally sung extempo raneously ! A billet-doux from Samuel Rogers—a copy of verses from Thomas Moore a jeu d'esprit from Thomas Carlyle—a capital, comi cal, hilarious, greeting addressed to Compton, the comedian, by Sothern, otherwise Lord Dun dreary. On the same page, a letter from John Bright, and another from Richard Cobden. An epistle from Listz, the most marvellous of pianists, and from Bellini, the most pathetic of composers. Shelley, the " Poet of Poets," as the Penny Encyclo pedia rather extravagantly dubs him—Palmerston, the Octogenarian Prime Minister—Denon, the Philosopher—Cruikshank, the Caricaturist—George Colman, the Dramatist—R. W. Elliston, the light Comedian—these and a multitude of others are among the contributors. Conspicuous among the delightful contents of the volume is a capital comical pen-and-ink sketch, and a still more capital and a still more comical letter introducing it by Hablot Knight Browne, better known (by how many millions ?) as Phiz, the illustrator of Charles Dickens and Charles Lever, and ever so many other less celebrated contemporaries in the world of light literature. The most portentous scrawl in the whole volume is a foolscap page of the manuscript of Wilkie Collins's still uncompleted serial tale of " Armadale." Blotted—erased—and interlined almost to distraction ; certainly, we should imagine, to the compositors' bewilderment. Side by side, on page 214, we have the sprawling auto graph of Augustus Wilby Pugin, and the exquisite copper-plate handwriting of the late Car dinal Wiseman. A letter signed by Napoleon the Great is followed by fac-similos of the autographs of his princes, marshals, and generals. Talma and Sarah Siddons, Nelson and Dundonald, are appro priately placed in juxtaposition. Here on one side of a leaf is Victor Hugo—here, upon the other, Edmund Kean. L.E.L., Richard Doyle, Brinsley Sheridan, Harrison Ainsworth—poet, artist, orator, novelist—jostle one another the while in not un welcome confusion. And so the whole of this delect able volume, " ever fresh and ever new," runs out to its close—a volume, if possible, an improvement upon its predecessor ; certainly quite up to it in excellence. It confirms us in the impression already formed by us, and for that matter, too, already ex pressed by us, to the effect that The Autographic Mirror is, without question, one of the most delight ful table-books ever published.

Prescotts' Bank, Wm. Prendergast and Henry Carman were brought be fore the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house yesterday, to undergo a final examination upon the charge of stealing £135 in silver money from a drawer in Messrs. Prescotts' bank, on the 20th May last. Mr. Mullens again appeared to prosecute ; Mr. F. H. Brooks, 62, Borough-road, appeared for Prendergast; and Mr. Perry, from Mr. Buchanan's office, appeared for Car man. The evidence given at the several previous examinations has already appeared. The facts of the case are of a some what singular character. On the night of the 20th of May last Mr. Denison, one of the cashiers at Messrs. Prescotts' bank, previous to leaving locked his drawer, which at that time contained some bags of silver, amounting to £135, and upon his return on Monday morning he found his drawer had been broken open and the money was missing. The prisoner Prendergast was employed as a porter at the bank, and slept on the premises in a room adjoining the banking office, and, from information received by them, Detective sergeants Scott and Russell apprehended him two or three days after the robbery. He then appears to have given them some information upon which they apprehended Carman, and the evidence showed that Prendergast was met by Carman on Sunday morning, the 21st of May, after which they proceeded in a cab to a coffee-house in Lambeth-walk, where, having breakfasted, they left a black leather bag, which was very heavy, with the waitress to take care of. The prisoners appeared to have.sepamted, as Prendergast kept an appointment ho had made with a friend on the previous evening, and while ho was with him during the day he spent a good deal of money. The prisoner Carman sent for the bag, and had it taken to a public-house in Wandsworth, where it was left in charge of the landlord at the prisoner's request, and was taken away the next day by Carman's sister and his wife. The bag was taken to the house of Carman's father, where, from the evidence of his sister, the contents, which was silver money, were taken out, and a portion put into another bag, which was taken away to the house of another sister, the remainder being loft at her father's house. After the prisoner Carman was appre hended his father became alarmed, and sent for the parcel of money which had been left with Carman's sister, which was taken back to his house. Carman's father then applied to a man named Michie, who keeps a public-house in the Lewisham-road, to take care of a black leather bag contain- ing money, as he was afraid the officers might search his house and find it ; and Mrs. Carman said she had left it at Michie's house, but whether or not it contained the whole, or only half the money, could not be ascertained. Accord ing to the testimony of Carman's father it would appear that the bag contained the whole of the money, and that he left it at Michie's house, and had not seen it since. Michie, on the contrary, said that it was arranged between him and Carman, sen., to bury the money in a place called " The Hollows." The officers having applied to Carman, sen., for the bag, he referred them to Michie, who, on being applied to, left them at his house, and, according to his testimony, went to a place in the Hollows, which had been pointed out to him by Carman, son., as the place where ho buried it, and got a parcel which ho found buried there. When opened by the officers it was only found, however, to contain £5O odd. Michie declared that was all he had dug up, and that he had not opened the parcel, while Car man, sen., said Michie told him he had taken out £lO. This, however, Michie stoutly denied. The other portion of the money was not found, it being a matter of conten tion between Michie and Carman as to which of them have the remainder. Yesterday Mr. Muliens said the other part of the money was not found, and the only additional evidence adduced was that of— Detective-sergeant Russell, who said that on the morning of Monday, 22d May, he went over Messrs. Prescotts' bank, and examined the dust which had been swept up by the witness Hobby, and found at the bottom of it some pieces of wood. corresponding with the broken part of Mr. Denison's till. He took Carman to the station-house, and was fol lowed by Scott, who had Prendergast. Scott asked Pren- dergast, in Carman's hearing, whether he (Carman) was the man who had induced him to commit the robbery, and who met him outside on Sunday morning, and he said he was. Scott then told Carman that the prisoner Prender gast said he had induced him to rob his employers, Messrs. Prescott, of .£135 in silver, and that he took him the tools to do it with on the Saturday previous, and that he had met him on Sunday morning when he left the bank, he having the money in his pockets, and that he (Carman) took a black bag to put it in, and that they took a cab at King William-street, when Prendergast took the money from his pockets and put it in the bag. Carman took some money from the bag, and they both wont to the coffee house in Lambeth. Witness also deposed to having re ceived £4 10s. from Mr. Geldhardt. In answer to Mr. Brooks, witness said Prendergast had assisted him throughout the case. This completed the case, and the prisoners were com mitted for trial. The Frightful Murder at Isleworth• IsLEwoRTH, Friday. This afternoon Mr. James Bird, coroner for West Mid dlesex, held an inquiry at the Royal Oak Tavern, Worton lane, Isleworth, into the circumstances of the murder of Ellen Dossett by her husband, Daniel Dossett, on Wed nesday evening last. It was stated that the accused still lived, and could an swer by signs any questions put to him, but that there was no chance of his ultimate recovery. He has made no state ment as to his motive for the murder of his wife. The jury having proceeded to view the body of the de ceased and the paddock whero she was murdered, Mrs. Diana Randall was called—She said she resided in a cottage in Baker's lane, Isleworth, and she knew the de ceased, who was a laundress, living in the same lane. Alfred Randall, a youth, said that he was the son of the first witness. On Wednesday evening, a little after eight o'clock, he was standing in the meadow next Mrs. Dos sett's drying-ground, in Baker's-lane. He saw the deceased and Mr. Dossett lying on the grass in the drying-ground, near to a place where there were clothes hanging up. Mr. Dossett had a razor in his hand, and witness saw him cut his throat. They were lying side by side at the time. The man was at the woman's right-hand side. He rolled about when ho had cut his throat, and he rolled over to his wife. Ho then got upon his knees, and spat up blood; then, ris ing, he staggered over towards the hedge, along the river Colne. There was some man there who went away when the accused waved his hand. Dossett then jumped into the Colno and crossed it. Witness then got into the drying ground, and there found Mrs. Dossett lying on her back with her throat cut. She was dead, her throat being dreadfully cut. Some men came into the field and re moved the body. A Juror asked who the man was that was on the farther bank of the river, and to whom the accused waved his hand. The witness said that he did not know. The Coroner said that after this evidence was published most probably witnesses would come forward who could give very important evidence. The witness said that he did not hear any quarrel be tween Mr. and Mrs. Dossett. Witness was walking towards the drying-ground, when he suddenly caught sight of them on the grass. Inspector Searle said that Mrs. Randall could prove that when she brought the deceased's infant to her no one was in the house but Mr. and Mrs. Dossett. The Coroner said that that evidence would be merely negative. Henry Friar, Worton-lane, said that on the evening in question he was on the banks of the Colne when a stranger shouted out to him, " Run round the bridge ; a man has cut his throat." Witness then went to the drying ground, where he found Dossett and the deceased lying side by side. Dossett was lying on the right arm of the deceased, who was quite dead, her throat being cut. His throat was cut too, and was bleeding very much. A razor lay between the heads of Dossett and his wife. Witness said, "Dan, do you know what you have done ?" He got up on his hands and knees, took up the razor, and then looked round and saw witness. He got upon his feet, and followed witness two or three yards, making a dreadful noise and groping out with his hands as if he could not see. He came forward to witness, who was afraid when the man came after him looking so dreadful. He then turned sharp round, went over the hedge, and got into the Colne. Wit ness then went to deceased and found her quite dead. Inspector Searle said that there were four children, one of them an infant in arms, left by the deceased. They were at present in the care of Mrs. Randall, but as she could not maintain them, he wished to know what had best be done with them. The Coroner said that the only course would be to send them to the local workhouse. The Court was then adjourned to give time to the police to procure further evidence. It was stated that Mrs. Randall kindly volunteered to take calm of the little baby of the deceased, and two other neighbours agreed to take two of the remaining children. The deceased is stated to have been a native of Bath, and to have been about 35 years of ago. The injuries inflicted upon her by her murderer were of the most dreadful cha racter. Her head was nearly cut off, her right arm and the palm of her hand were wounded, showing that she endea voured to ward off the strokes of the razor, but it was evi dent that the poor woman was suddenly assailed, and had not time to make any protracted resistance. Her death must have been instantaneous. BATTLE BETWEEN AN ADDER AND A CAT.—Some week or ten days ago, the shepherds of Aulduhuine and Belnaboddach, while conversing together near a " sheiling" in which one of them has his summer quarters, had their attention arrested by a cat engaged in sundry eccentric gymnastic movements at a short distance off amongst the heather. On a nearer inspection it was found that the adversary of puss was a large adder, plenty of which abound about the upper glens of the Noughty, where this encounter occurred. The cat having a bad chance of being worsted in the fight, or being. stung to death, its owner put an end to the encounter by killing the adder with a walking-stick. The uncouth reptile measured two feet three inches iu length, which is the common dimen sioue of this speciss.--Banffilifro /ma , oe 'V /AA, c ratr t The Return of Her Majesty from Scotland.
