Osborne) 7 Yesterday we gave some particulars of an extraordinary robbery that had been perpetrated at the jeweller and watchmaker's shop, in St. George's-crescent, for many years carried on by the late Messrs. Daniel Brothers, and now by Mr. John Yorke, their former manager. The fol lowing further particulars were elicited before Mr. Raffles at the police-court on Tuesday : -- A returned • convict, named • Thomas Williams, alias Broadbent, was brought up charged with burglariously breaking out of the jeweller's shop belonging to Mr. Yorke (late Daniels), St. George's-crescent. Inspector Horne said a person came to the shop on the pretence of making purchases, an 3 said he was going to America. He selected about £2OO worth of jewellery, and asked permission to leave a large box in the shop till the following morning. The box came about dusk, and, as it afterwards transpired, the prisoner was concealed in that box. About 4 o'clock that morning an alarm was given by a lady who slept in the house. She thrust her hand through an upper window, and an officer who was on duty at the top of Lord-street, hearing the crash of the glasg, proceeded to the spot and found the prisoner coming over the back wall of the premises. In the yard was found about £6OO worth of koods -which had been taken out of the shop. • Mr. John Yorke said that on Friday last a respectably dressed man came into his shop and said he was recom , mended by a Captain Hudson to come there, as he wished to purchase about £2OO worth of goods. He did not select the goods then because he said he had some goods coming from Sheffield which he had purchased, and, as he was a novice, he wanted witness to give him his opinion on the &ids. He said he would come on Monday morning and bring the goods from Sheffield, or samples of them. On Monday morning he came, according to appointment, and he selected about £lOO worth of miscellaneous goods, such as watches, chains, &c. He was in the shop from about 12 :o'clock till about half-past two. He seemed very anxious as to the quantity of the goods, and said ho would not like to go beyond £2OO, as he had no commission to go beyond that, and he was very confiding, stating that he would place the matter entirely in witness's hands. He wished the goods to be got ready by 12 o'clock on Tuesday, and he said he would call again in the course of the afternoon. He asked permission to bring a box which contained the electro-plated goods from Sheffield, of which he wanted witness's inspection. About dusk on Monday evening a box was brought ia a cart and placed in the shop. Witness was upstairs whet the box was brought, but he came down immediately afterwards, and saw the man who had selected the goods in the shop. The man remarked that he had brought the box, and that as it was rather largo he hoped it would not be in the way. Witness replied that as it was only going to remain a short time he thought he would not find it inconvenient to allow it to stand in the shop. The man then said he wished the jewellery packed in this box and secured, and then taken to the American steamer. He also said he supposed it would be too late to look at the Sheffield goods, as it was then dusk. Witness replied that he could not give so good an opinion then as he could in daylight. The man then asked witness if he would allow the box to remain till the following day. Persons slept on the premises. Witness, who resided out of town, was sent for at six o'clock that morning, and he found that jewellery to the amount of £5OO or £6OO had been removed from the shop. The box was about 3 feet 100 inches in length, and fastened in an inge nious manner with three clasps on the inside. He prose cuted the prisoner five years ago for a b urg l ary , an d h e was sentenced to five years' penal servit u d e . Police-constable 28 said that about ten minutes past four o'clock that morning he was on duty on the right hand side of Lord-street, when he heard a smash of glass. He ran across the street, and went up a passage, where he dis covered the prisoner coming over a back wall. He caught hold of him, and asked hith what brought him there, and he said it was no use his telling, and he should not tell. Witness took the prisoner inside Mr. Yorke's house, and called another officer. The back passage ran out of Lord street. The prisoner was remanded for seven days.

Four Mr. Yorke asked if he could have the goods back now. rt.nu,......futruxvirstrtne or iaiS;liit he must leave some 'with the police for the purpose of identi fication. Mr. Yorke—There was not much jewellery left in the window, and the shop was stripped. Some of the articles belonged to my customers. Mr. Raffles—And I understand you have Dr. M'Neilo's watch there. We should add that the box is very much like an ordi nary packing-case, about three feet deep, and lined with coarse canvass. The box was not closely made, so that there were sufficient means of ventilation. It was fastened inside with three hooks, so that it could be easily opened by a person inside, but not from the outside. Two diamond rings were found in the lining of the prisoner's coat. A locket, earring, seal, and ring, were found on the floor of the shop, and iu a hod in the yard was found a carpet-bag containing the watches and jewellery. On the back kitchen table a screw-driver Was found, and the bars of the back kitchen window-shutters had been prized open. The jewellery in the bag consisted of 21 gold watches and a gold case, 96 silv er Watches, 5 plated watches, 9 silver watch cases, 18 long gold chains, 37 gold Alberts, 10 long plated chains, 27 plated Alberts, 63 gold lockets, 1 plated locket, 42 gold weddin g rings, 52 gold keepers, 53 gold signot rings, 47 fancy rings, 9 diamond rings, 82 seals, keys, and charms, a gold swivel, a desk seal, 20 gold brooches, a diamond stud, '25 gold and plated brooches, 45 gold and plated pencil and picks, 67 plated breast pins, 8 pair of gold earrings, 3 odd ones, and 4 coral beads and bells. The prisoner is a ticket-of-leave man, having had five years' penal servitude, which period will not expire till next month. The premises of Mr. Yorke are somewhat peculiarly situated. The shop frontage is to St. George's-crescent, and the private entrance to the house is through an entry opening into Lord-street. In this entry the burglar was captured, precisely as he was on the occasion of his former fruitless attempt five years ago. Above the shop is a dwelling-house, whi c h was occupied on Monday night by the two Misses Yor k e, th eir aunt and servant, Mr. and Mrs. Yorke residing out of town. The upper storey of that and the adjoining shop is at present being converted into a gymnasium by Mr. Huguenin, with an entrance from Lord street ; and it is said that the prisoner has been hanging about the place for the past week, disguised as a workman. The box attracted the attention of one of the Misses Yorke, after the shop was closed on . Monday night, and, thinking it very strange that the property supposed to be inside should be so careleasly dealt with, she proposed to her e th in o s p id en e hitaspis'phriesV however, they were unable to do, asprevented any one disturbing the occu la)uannthtt unless he chose to unfasten it; but his feelings while the conversation was going on, which threatened to result in his discovery, nifty be readily imagined. He would appear to have fallen asleep afterwards, or he would never have delayed operations' so long as from seven at night uutiLnearly four in-the morning. His place of conceal ment was ingeniously_constructed, having arrangements for ventilation, and a canvas cover, with an aperture at the top as if to admit a handle. When the occupants of the house Were awoke by the noise they at once guessed, from former experience, that there was a robber in the house, and while an alarm was being made at the front of the house one of tLe young ladies watched the back, as it was thought that he would attempt to get out that way. He did so, and when he was seen in the yard Miss Yorke, not having time to open the win dow, got hold of a piece of bedroom crockery, thrust it through the window, and tried to throw it at the thief. It missed him, but the smash caught the attention of the constable in Lord-street, who being an experiencedofficer, constantly on the beat, and famous for his detection of nu merous thieves in the neighbourhood, guessed at once what was the matter, and rushed across the street into the entry flying thief in his arms. Miss Yseverely cut by contact with the glass. hand ss ti . me Th t:nd The private werech ate th w e a fl t y chman who is employed by the tradesmen of the neighbourhood had visited the spot on his usual round aLout ten minutes before. It is said that when Williams was caught upwards of five years ago he threat ened Mr. Yorke that when he got out he would come again, and he has certainly kept his word. Amongst his plunder on Monday night were nine gold and 21 silver watches, left for repair, ono of them belonging to the Rev. Dr. M'Neile. William's accomplice is supposed to have been lurking in the neighbourhood. A short time before the outbreak a well dressed man, accompanied by a' female, and having a bag, was noticed by the constable hanging about Lord-street, as if undetermined which way to go. On being questioned he said they had crossed from Birken head, having arrived by the tritha Which cornea in at Monks Ferry about half-past tbree. This explauttiidn Was deemed satisfactory, but from the description there is little dou bt that the well dressed man was the ono who patronised Mr. Yorke so extensively with his orders, and afterwards got permission to leave the box from Sheffield with him.

THE SUl', LONDON, THURSDA Y EV Nlrc U, SEPTEMBER 21, 1865. VISIT OF THE LORD MAYOR AND CORPORATION. THIS DAY. This morning, it being St. Matthew's Day, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and other members of the Corporation, proceeded in state to Christ's Hospital, Newgate-street, for the purpose of hearing the annual orations by the Grecians who are about leaving Oxford and Cambridge. Divine service was performed in Christ Church, prayers being said by the Rev. Prebendary Gibbs, and a sermon preached by the Rev. Claude .Hubert Perez, M.A., Fellow of Pem broke College, Cambridge, one of her Majesty's inspectors of schools. The civic procession then moved into the great hall, which was well filled with visitors, the Lord Mayor and h:s party taking their seats at the western end. The prologue was delivered by Mr. John Elliot Idewi-. son, second Grecian, Thompson Mathematical Medallist and Montefiore Prizeman, Somerset Exhibitioner of St. John's College, Cambridge. Mr. RICHARD LEE, 4th Grecian, Rustat scholar of St- John's College, Cambridge, delivered the great oration on the benefits of the Royal Hospital. He thought there was no occasion to point out with minuteness what benefits were composed by such noble charities as those, forinstance, which provided for the sick and dying, or by those which offered a refuge to the poor creatures whom Providence had visited with the fearful affliction of madness, or lastly by those that aimed at the reformation of the criminal and the stained with shame. The blessings which charities like tliese produced, and the benefits which they brought about were so plain and apparent that they were immediately re cognised by all, but the good which Christ's 'Hospital did could not be fully made known or duly appreciated but by those who had had personal and practical experience of it. And why ? Christ's Hospital did not receive those the very sight of whom was an appeal to their sympathy—did not take those who were a burden to the world, but re ceived and provided for such as had but few on whom to depend for support. Again, Christ's Hos pital was distinguished above the other royal hos pitals by the fact that she fitted her sons for every walk of 'life, and this to such an extent that were one to- say that the object in view in founding Christ's Hospital was that it should benefit not a single sect or land, butindirectly the world at large, he would but be uttering the truth, in proof of which he might state that there was scarcely a land whore art, and science, and industry flourished in which it was quite unrepresented. All honour then to the memory of its royal founder. By this one act he had shown to all succeed ing ages what kingly qualities he possessed. Need he tell them how that school had outlived the prosecutions of malice and bigotry, unharmed by all the changes of more than 300 years. Need he point out to them how it had never experienced ruin or decay—howit had only gathered fresh strength from the lapse of time, and even gained both more influence and power from the attacks which had, from time to time, been made upon it. It would be superfluous to remind them of this, for it had stood, and by God's help would still stand—for it was founded on a rock, a spiritual rock, and that rock was Christ. The orator passed a high eulogium upon the Rev. William Webster, who has been 38 years mathematical master of Christ's Hospital, and who has recently been presented by the governors to the rectory of Colne Eugaine, Essex, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Greenwood, formerly Head Master. The oration was delivered in excellent Greek, and was loudly applauded. Mr. Joint EDWARD, First Grecian, Thompson Classical Medallist, and Richards Medallist, 1865, Scholar of Wad ham College, Oxford, proceeded to deliver the English oration. After dwelling upon the. merits of the school, he said :—lt was almost needless to point out how the original character of the school had been in reality sustained throughout all the changes and improvements which had been introduced from the time of the first foundation until now, how bountifully it still supported those who most needed, and who could best appreciate the education which it offered. How when its noble objects became more fully recognised, end more justly esteemed, it advanced in one uninterrupted course of prosperity to the high Position which it now occupied, and how throwing off the trammels with which a narrow prejudice would hamper its exertions, it strove to follow out in the spirit, rather than in the letter, its first founder's royal liberality. It was eminently iu its objects and early institution a Protestant school. Founded by the first Protestant King of England, admitting only Protestant boys, using in its services the prayers that an eminent Protestant bishop composed, it was a meet emblem of the religion of the reformer estab lishing itself, and flourishing upon the foundations that the Romanist had laid. There yet remained a cluster whose walls were said to have echoed to midnight masses and to solemn requiems, and which in later times had been lighted up by the flickering torches of the sad procession, chaunting the Burial Anthem at night behind the bier of a dead com panion. Closely, however, as Christ's Hospital had followed her early traditions, she had not suffered them to stand in the way of improvement, or to blind her to the necessity of such changes as the times demanded. She had now her library and her gymnasium. The education she bestowed was from time to time so improved as to keep pace with the progress that other schools were making around her, and she had reason to boast of some of her sons that had done her honour in the eyes of the world He would not now go through the long list of distinguished children who had passed away—the list that began with Camden and ended with Leigh Hunt—but could point to some that were even `I now winning themselves a name. At the late commemo ration at Oxford an honorary doctor's degree was conferred upon a former scholar of that house, famous for his high university honour; for the dignified position he now held in India, and for the extensive reforms that he had effected in the tangled mazes of Indian law. Others there were less known perhaps to fame, but occupying useful and honour able positions in their several paths of life. These should never amid their success forget what Christ's Hospital had done for them—should never forget that it was there they learnt not only their first rudiments of knowledge, but also those early lessons of independence and self-re liance which must have done so much to gain them their high positions. After a compliment to the Lord Mayor for his services in the cause of education the orator passed to public affairs, referring especially to the death of Mr. Cobden and President Lincoln. Then, after adverting to home affairs and the retirement of the Rev. W. Webster, he bade the masters and governors a hearty farewell. The orator retired amidst loud cheers. The Latin Oration on the same subject was delivered by Mr. Alfred Edmund Hodgson, Fifth Grecian, who is pro ceeding to St. John's College, Cambridge. Mr. Douglass Lee Scott, Third Grecian, French Prize man 1864, Scholar of St. Peter's College, Cambridge, de livered the French Oration. The following were then delivered in the order in which they stand : Latin Alcaics, translation of the Druid's War Song, by Mr. William Kepner, Sixth Grecian. Greek lambic; translation from "Julius Comer," by Mr, Augustus Lawrence Francis, Eighth Grecian. Latin Sapphics, translation from " Horatius," by Mr. Sidney Simpson Allen, seventh Grecian. Greek Hexameter; translation from " Childe Harold," by Mr. George Alfred Green, ninth Grecian. Latin Hexameter; " Bellum enter Americanos," Richard's Pry Composition, by Mr. John Edward Farnell, first Grecian. Greek Elegiac; translation of " Death," Mrs. Hemans, by Mr. Samuel Sheppard Oakley Morris, tenth Grecian. Latin Elegiacs, translation of "Alma," by Mr. John Sharkey, eleventh Grecian. English Poem "Mesers." by Mr. John Edward Farnell, first Grecian. • A subscription was entered into to defray the expenses of the Grecians at the University, after which the National Anthem was sung, and the Civic party retired. New Music. Mr. Jewell, of Great Russell-street, has made a very ivelcome addition to the catalogue of pianoforte music by the publication of three new pieces of more than usual excellence. The " Zenobe Quadrilles," by W. W. Pearson, are exceedingly effective, and, although unaccompanied by any difficult pas sages for the performer, they are very pleas ing, and certain to become favourites during the approaching festive season. "La Gazelle" is a brilliant fantasia by Immanuel Liebich ; and the Watchman's Tread," by John Fox, is a song after the style of the " Postman's Knock." It is pub lished both in B dat and C, and is remarkably well suited to a baritone voice. Both words and music are equally good, which of course implies that it is a capital song.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Shea.) CHARGE OP ARSON. Edward Breese, 15, tailor, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to the dwelling-house of his master, William Andrews, he being therein at the time. The evidence did not bring home the offence to the pri soner to the extent charged, but it showed that he had committed a very wicked act. Mr. Justice Shee addressed the boy in very feeling terms, and told him the extent to which his act might have led him. Under the whole of the circumstances be ordered the boy to receive 12 stripes with the birch and then dis charged. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Smith.) CHARGE OF BURGLARY. James I3uckland, Thomas Murphy, and Ellen Smith were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Jas. Fitzgibbon, a bootmaker at Woolwich. • From the evidence it appeared that on the night of the .burglary the shop of the prosecutor was safely closed, but at an early hour one of the shutters was found to have been removed, and a boot and a pair of slippers were found to have been stolen, the burglars, it appeared, having been disturbed by the noise made by the breaking of the glass windows, which alarmed the inmates. With respect to Buckland, two of the witnesses swore that they never lost sight of him until he was captured after he ran away from the spot, but with respect to the other two such was not the case. The prisoners d3nied all knowledge of the robbery. Murphy and Smith further stated that they were not out of their own room at all on the night in question ; but that, on the contrary, they were in bed at the time. The jury found Murphy and Buckland guilty, bu acquitted Smith. A former conviction was proved against Murphy, The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said is found that Murphy had been previously convicted of a charge of robbery with violence, which was a very serious offence. As he appeared to be a person of some education and ability it was not safe that he shol4d be left at large. As he had on the present occasion been convicted of burglary, which was another serious offence, he should order him to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. With respect to Buckland the case was different. It appeared to be his first offence, and therefore he should only sentence him to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Madame Valentine surrendered to an indictment charg ing her with perjury. The circumstances connected with this matter have so lately appeared at length in all the public newspapers that a repetition is quite unnecessary. The trial is not ex pected to conclude till late to-morrow. FOURTH COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) THE RUSSIAN BANK NOTE FORGERIES. Augustin Ancenay, printer, w9.s indicted with having in his possession, without lawful excuse, divers plates, stones, &c., for the production of fictitious Russian bank notes for 50 roubles each. The prisoner, it will be recollected, occupied a house at Datchet, and at that place the detective officers discovered the plates, stones, and other matters for the manufacture of the notes, and also a printing press for the striking off the notes after they were perfected. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentence d eferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MAULBOROUGII-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.--Hoary Thomas Durrant, en gineer of 23, Little Drummond-street, Euston-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting James Powell, a superannuated constable of the C division, and formerly one of the officers attached to the Marlborough -street Police-court. Powell said—l reside at GI, Oxford-market. Last night about half-past 10, while I was lying down, my wife brought the prisoner and another man into tho room. Tho prisoner said " We have got you now," and struck me on the face, threw me back, and, while the other man and my wife held me down, placed a pair of handcuffs on my wrists. (There were marks on the prosecutor's wrists, where the handcuffs had grazed them.) My legs were then tied together. The prisoner said he had a cab at the door, and was going to take me to the Marylebone workhouse. I called " Police " and " Murder ! " and the other man made his escape. It is not the first time my wife has done such a thing. The landlord and others came in, and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Edward Stone, the landlord of the house 61, Oxford Market, said—l have always known the prosecutor as a quiet ram. Hearing a disturbence last night, I went np stairs, and found him lying on the bed, with his legs tied together, and handcuffs on his wrists. It was not the first time the wife had brought men to the house. I called in the police. Police-constable James Croske, 160 E, said-1 was fetched to 61, Oxford Market, last night, about half-past 10 o'clock, and there saw the prisoner and the prosecutor, the latter with a pair of handcuffs on, which could not be got off, the prisoner stating that he had lost the key which unfastened them. The wife has been troubling me for two or three weeks past, wanting the prosecutor to be taken into custody, stating that he was mad. She has herself been in a madhouse. Mr. Knox—ls that the case ? The Prosecutor—lt is, sir. The wife of the prosecutor handed the magistrate a paper. The paper was signed by Mr. Clapp, one of the medical officers of St. Marylebone, and was an order for the pro secutor's admission to the insane ward of the workhouse. Mr. Krick (to prosecutor)—Did Dr. Clapp ever come and examine you? Prosecutor—l never saw him in my life. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—Were you sent to the place by any authority of the parish, or were you acting by the authority of the wife ? Prisoner—By authority of the wife. I have nothing to do with tho parish. I have only just come home from a' long voyage. Mr. Knox—The prosecutor says he never saw Dr. Clapp, and yet Dr. Clapp signs an order for his admission to the workhouse, on the ground that he is insane. I will send for Mr. Tubbs, the assistant overseer of Marylebone, and Dr. Clapp, that the matter may be explained. Inspector Silverton, C Division—The wife has com plained to me of her husband, and stated that he was mad. Qn Mr. Tubbs attending, Mr. Knox told him that the wito had handed him a certificate, signed by Dr. Clapp, and he wished for an explanation of the matter. Mr. Tubbs—Dr. Clapp issued an order for the admission of the prosecutor to the house, but when it was brought to me I declined sending any officers to take him. I told the wife that if she apprehended danger, and brought the pro secutor to the house, I would take him in, when having been seen by a magistrate, he would be sent to Hanwell, if necessary. The prosecutor was brought to the house, but ran away, and the master took no stops to recapture him, and 1 heard no more of the matter till the certificate pro duced was brought to my office yesterday. Mr. Knox—Then the parish had nothing to do with what took place yesterday, in authorising the prisoner, an engineer, to interfere. Mr. Tubbs—Nothing whatever. Dr. Clapp acted quite regularly, and a more discreet medical officer is not to be found in London. I have refused the wife's applica tion to send any officer to take him-alvay. Mr. Knox-1 am glad to heir your explanation. Dr. Clapp said—l saw the prosecutor on the 7th, and he was then insane and very violent. He tried to knock me down stairs. I signed a certificate, which I gave to the wife, with the intention that he should be taken to the workhouse, and then and there the relieving officer would have taken the onus on himself. Mr. Knox—l think the certificate should have been given to the officers and not to the wife. You see what use she has made of it. Dr. Clapp—l gave the certificate on the 7th, and perhaps would not have done so on the Bth, but it was not put in force till yesterday. The prosecutor wa s labouring under delirium tremens. The prisoner, when called on by the magistrate, and after being cautioned, Mr. Knox having expressed his in tention to send the case for trial, stated that he had acted solely by request of the wife, who stated that she had the od be t t t h h e e u w t t o e r r k h ruin u s o e f . propermr.Kpnapo:rssafidor. thhiast the aitdalwisouspri soner, who was a ship engineer, if ho sent him for trial. He believed the prisoner was the third agent of the prose cutor's wife, and that he had been blinded by a Master's order of Dr. Clapp. He should therefore fine the prisoner .£5 or a mouth for the assault, as he believed that if he sent him to the sessions he would get no more pu n i s h men t. The prisoner said he was to sail on Monday for New Zealand. Mr. linox said he emphatically declared that but for the unfortunate circumstance of Dr. Clapp's handing the order to the wife instead of the officer the matter would never have occurred. THAMES. A WELL-MATCHED PAIR.—John Frost, aged 40, a painter, and Henrietta Frost, his wife, aged 32, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assault ing Margaret Lewis. The prisoners have been dwelling at No. 17, Green Bank, St. G e orge-in-the-East, and the complainant at No. 2, Roebuck- place, in the same locality. There had been some q uarrelling between the women. Yesterday evening Mrs. Lewis, who has only been out of her confinement five weeks and was in a very weakly condition, met the male prisoner in a public house, called the Ship, in Anthony street, St. George-in-the-East. lie called her very foul names and spat at her. Ho said ho had a wife who could beat six womenlike Mrs. Lewis. He.fetched his wife, and they both joined in using the most foul epithets. Mrs. Lewis said their language was not 4t for the beasts of tile add, on allgeborrimmisram..........zrai. .0. 0 0 • which they both attacked her, as was expressed by a witness like furious lunatics. The man beat her with his fists, and his wife struck her repeatedly with a key, in flicting eight severe cuts on her head and contusions on her body. The complainant was found by a police-con stable named Joseph Hague, No. 132 H, bleeding and ex hausted. Mr. Joseph Horton, surgeon of High-street, Stepney, who had examined the complainant, deposed to the serious nature of the injuries she received, and said that a key or some other hard substance had been used. The complainant lost a large quantity of blood. Several witnesses deposed to the savage nature of the assault committed : on the complainant, and that she wa kicked while she was down by the male prisoner. The prisoners said Mrs. Lewis began the affray, and only re ceived as good as she gave. They called witnesses, whose evidence was very contradictory. The prisoners had not received any injury whatever. Mr. Paget said ho could not rely on the evidence for the defence, and that he was of opinion a most savage and dastardly assault had been committed on the unfortunate complainant. He sentenced the prisoners to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. There was applause and clapping of hinds when the magiArate gave his decision. Mr. Paget, called silence, and said the court must be cleared if there 'was any noise. SOITTRWARK. ONLY A FANC Y. — Thomas Rogers was charged before Mr. Burcham with being drunk and endangering his life. One of the guards of the North Kent Railway said that last evening when the train was approaching the New Cross station the prisoner opened the door and was very near falling out, and if he had done so he would unques tionably have been killed. The door was smashed to pieces. He was the worse for liquor, but not very drunk. The prisoner said he had been drinking for three days, and his opening the door was only a fancy. Mr. Burcham said that as the damage to the carriage was not entered on the charge-sheet he could not make the prisoner pay for it, but ho would fine him 10s. on the other charge. THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO EXTORT MONEY BY A NEWS PAPER PROPRIETOR.—Mr. EUPCIIaDI this morning referred to the case in which a summons had been obtained on Tuesday by the secretary of the National Ho rse Insurance Company against the-proprietor of .the Joint Stock Reporter and Insurance Review for threatening to publish an article calculated to damage the company in question. The facts have already appeared in The Sun. The worthy magistrate said that in the course of the proceedings the term "scur rilous" was applied to the article, but he had read it, and considered it very well written and a fair critique. 93 95 131 133 6 6 87 7 ) 71 73 110 111 48 49 7i 81 133 135 153 /54 126 ,29 91 93 66 CO; 63 05 45 47 3i 40 104 t 121 i 121 SO 92 104 105 37 39 125 1.25 97 98 681 503 139 140 3k 128 128) j 98 ILO 659 66, 31 32 no)Illy 68 69i 1031 104, 361 376. 10 11 i) 118 120 1)] 77 11 78 11 12 151 151 60 62 57 59 816 82 86 96 150 155 p 3 1 101 106 5) 52 ISIONS. 58 58 101 102 pr 44 5 9 10 99 101 70 75 101 103 102 103 104 105 i IP 19 20 89 91 64 66 53 68 65 57 98 51 94 46 38 42 25 L 8 25 17 101 105 * pi I 101 102 11 144 6/ 6&'t i 6 )8 85 67 1 id 101 102 93 95 83 90 64 66 82 84 [OO 101 [OO 101 4 id LOO 101 ;T SECUII 96 98 95 D 7 95 97 84 85 as' - v 103 105 107 109 106 10. i 105 107 1 , •3 105 IU9 111 104 If 6 108 i(8 107 109 102 104 98 98 9) 101 99 95 90 01 103 105 84 85} 98 100 102 103 106 108 100 110 ffES. i't 18 19 560 580 481 1 9 154 3} 121 105 j 5 125 41 90j 59 1391 128 71 66 1 i 33 11l furlongs, 200 yards.

The following letter appears in the Levant Herald of September 13 : " SMYRNA, Sept. 9. "At last the cholera may be reported gone. Only an isolated case or two have happened for some days, and the visitation is therefore considered virtually at au end. Though the epidemic itself, however, has died out, its effects on the local trade and industries will be felt for months to come. Our society of every class has been in a measure disorganised, and another month or six weeks at least must pass before business can regain its normal course. " The Relief Commission, thanks to English liberality, has now a large amount of funds in hand—nearly £2,300 in all. Its difficulty is to know what to do with this large sum, for I owe it to truth to say that the sensational statements put forth in the London papers as to the extremity of the local distress greatly over-colour the fact (the poor have, it is true, suffered much ; but certainly not at all to the ex- tent reported)—l doubt not with the bast intention, and, as the result shows, with at least an excellent pecuniary effect. The Jews have, perhaps, been the heaviest sufferers from the disease, and as yet the Commission has done comparatively little or nothing for their relief. In fact, lam assured that the contribution from their own community to the commis sional funds have considerably exceeded the amount spent upon them. Such, however, as the action of the body has been, only its least praiseworthy features have found imita tion in the conduct of the village " commissions"—for Bour nabat, Boudjah, and all the other hamlets have parodied the town. In Bournabat a considerable sum of money was raised, but what has been done with it no one knows. The improvised " authorities" have rendered no account to the public, and I am unable therefore to do more than . hint at current explanations." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This clay.

FEMALE CRICKETEIS.—A few weeks since we gave the result of a cricket match which had been played at Finchdean between 22 females—married and single. The return match was played last week, and it seems that the spirit of these crinolined cricketers is likely to be kept up ; it is the intention, we understand, of the Finchdeaners to challenge an adjoining village. In the return match alluded to the maidens beat the matrons by 42 runs. The following are the totals :—Single, 39-24 ; married, 14-7. Surrey Standard. HIGHLAND MODE OF DETECTING THE CATTLE DISEASE.—A correspondent of the Dundee Courier states that in 1814, when the cattle disease raged in Caithness shire, the following mode of discovering the animals affected was resorted to :—A peat fire was kindled, and leather burned upon it. The cattle were then made to move round it, when such as wero affected commenced sneezing and coughing, with matter coming out at their nostrils. Our correspondent says he has seen this mode tried on tho Ord of Caithness, whon 300 cattle passed through the or deal, and the diseased ones were separated from the sound. The Hummums, in Covent-garden, so well known as the resort of literary and political celebrities of past generations, is doomed to destruction; the old house, like many others in the metropolis, being demanded as a sac rifice to "metropolitan improvements." The lease, it appears, has expired, and the Duke of Bedford will not renew it, as he thinks it will be better to extend Covent garden Market in consequence of the rapid increase of its trade. THE RUSSIAN NOTE FORGERlES.—Yesterday, at the Lambeth Police Court, Nathaniel Bolchester, Julius Bayer, Samuel Berrens, Abraham Davis, Gorshon Sibber man, and Philip Brown, who stand charged with being concerned in an extensive system of forgery, and passing off forged notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia, and in the possession of five of whom 500 of the forged notes were found, were again placed before Mr. Elliott for further exa mination, were again remanded, and no t hing hle de tthwe n i l e jo w eche t a r ( a s ai n oc s ni T ) t h h e us p f a o lli nu p Eign C OSTt r t o o 3ll e l tr Oi o F nFl r oV e fAß a t t h io leader of th e L eague to its his torian pired at the examination. ; I ally assumes the prop or ti ons of a b o c f or T t d h if i e n re ook. We are reluctantly compelled to resist the temptation of summaris ing this, the first consider a bl e production of Cobden's pen. It was from first to l as t a protest against the Palmerstonian foreign policy, and represented views from which Cobden never in his after life in the slightest iota swerved, and which he never ceased to present to the nation, un influenced by the fair weather of popularity, undeterred by the foul weather of temporary seasons of alienation when England was in one of its intermittent war fevers. These opening sentences from the preface are remarkably characteristic of the man, and are of universal application in English history—as per tinent in 1865 as they were in 1835. " The following pag es were written p ri n ci p all y wit h a view to endeavour to prove the erroneous foreign policy of the Government of this country. English statesmen of every age, down even to the present day, have one and all lost sight of that distinguishing feature which is peculiar to the insular situation of Great Britain. if we go back to the year 1805, when Nelson destroyed the remains of the French navy at Trafalgar, these islands were thenceforth as secure against foreign molestation as though they had formed a portion of the moon's territory ; yet from that time down to 1815 we waged in cessant war, and incurred £400,000,000 of debt for interests purely continental. Our European commerce yields but a poor set-off against the expenses of the war. The hundred days of Napoleon cost us £40,000,000, the interest of which at 5 per cent. is £2,000,000. Now, our exports to all Europe of British manufactures amount to about £18,000,000 annually: and taking the profit at 10 per cent., it falls short of .E2,000,0e0. So that all the profit of all our merchants, trading with all Europe, will not yield sufficient to pay the yearly interest of cost of the last 100 days' war on the Con tinent, leaving all the other hundreds of millions spent pre viously as so much dead loss.—.3PGikhrist's Life of Cobden.
