Naval and Military Intelligente. The screw steam-transport Northumberland, No. 51, arrived yesterday at Woolwich to embark military stores, &c., for the East. The Prompt, No. 68, arrived on Sa turday; and the Earsden, No. 17, went down from Deptford to load for the same destination. The Pro gress, got ready at Deptford, has received her sailing orders, and will leave this day for Queenstown to take in her powder, preparatory to proceeding to Balaklava. The Elizabeth schooner transport sailed yesterday morning from the Arsenal-wharf, Woolwicb, having shipped 120 tons of shot and shell on Sunday afternoon. Her cargo is for the Arabia, at Portsmouth. The Spirit of Trade (late the Briton), J. Ledger, master, has em barked 1,000 tons of shot and shell, and is ready for sea. The following appointment has taken place in the Royal Marine corps, under date of Sept. 6 : First Lieutenant Henry Lindsay Searle, of the Artil lery Companies, to be Adjutant of the Plymouth Divi sion, vice Domville, promoted. On Saturday a detachment of 40 men of the Royal Tappers and Miners went down from Woolwich to un ergo a course of field instruction at Chatham. The Driver company, consisting of 120 non-commissioned officers and privates of this corps, with the like number if horses, is under orders to embark at Liverpool on ooard the Assistance steamer, The officers in command of this detachment are Captain Siborne, Captain Charles Barry, Lieut. Malcolm, and Lieut. Marindin. Upwards of 100 volunteers have joined the Royal Sappers' re cruiting party at the head-qua,rters at Aldershot, from the militia there, and are principally tradesmen. The Repulse, 90 guns, screw line-of - battle ship, is to be launched in the course of the spring tides of this month from Pembroke dockyard. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Commander Alexander Duff Gordon to the Hecate, vice Commander Glynn ; the Rev. J. M. Edwards, chaplain and naval instructor, to the Valorous; the Rev. J. W. Clarke, chaplain, to the Hannibal; Mr. James Stephen, naval instructor, to the Hannibal ; Mr. John H. Bond, naval instructor, to the Rodney ; Alexander S. Brodie, second master, to the Sh ar p s h ooter ; J . S. Barry, confirmed as assistant-surgeo n , to the Ter magant. THE MILITIA. The garrison duty of Pembroke Dockyard is now entirely in the hands of the militia, the whole of tine Royal Artillery having been withdrawn. The Pent. brokeshire Artillery Militia have been conveyed to the forts on Thorn Island and the Stack Rock, where the Ist Company, and detachments from the others, have, been placed under the command of Lieut. Dunsterville. The fortified barracks on the heights are occupied by the Monmouthshire Light Infantry, who have to find reliefs for the whole of the dockyard duty, which preAse.; heavily upon the men. The wooden barracks at Hobb7s Point are near com pletion, and, when finished, will be occupied by more of the local militia, who will take turn in garrison duty. It is said that Government will shortly very greatly enlarge the number of hutz now in course of erection. Several volunteers have recently left the Cornwall Miners Artillery Militia for the regular service. About 20 volunteered, but 10 only passed—of these seven en tered the Artillery, two the Marines, arid one the 73 Regiment. The North York Rifles, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Wade, were drawn nut on Thursday at Richmond for the purpose of volunteering into the line. About 35 men fell out at the call of the comm inding officer, of whom 22 were selected by the recruiting officers-o'oa for theßoyalArtillery, four for the Sappers and Miner., six for the 85th Regiment, and four for the Royal Ma rines. The South Durham Militia, quartered at Barnard Castle, is now about 400 strong. THB CA .I.IIT. The following is an extract from the letter of an officer : Before Sebastopol, Aug. 28. The brilliancy of the moon has not allowed us to make much progress with our advance trenches during the last three days, nor will it for some days yet to come. The enemy have completed their bridge of rafts across the harbour, and yesterday they took hundreds of carts, &0., across it from both the north side and south side of Sebas topol. The general opinion out here is that we shall be attacked all round very shortly ; one thing you may rely upon, that if the enemy do try to force our position, say at Ba!aklava or any other spot, it will be a most deter mined attack. The French authorities:, I understand, ex pected that something would take place on the morning of the 26th. These constant alarms and unexpected attacks are very annoying, for both officers and men of the English army are still confined to camp inconsequence. The amuse silents that some of the men in each camp get up, are foete ball, quuits, a kind of &Kitties, and tossing up. In the trenches they play cards a good deal. It would be a great boon if the Government sent cut to each corps a supply of articles for games, particularly as winter is no e• coming on. The priric;pal topic of conversation amongst them just now is the floating bridge. Tile fact of this being oracle convin-es them that no plunder will be nee obtained on the south side of Sehastnpel. Among -t the officers slightly wounded since the 25th I have to mention Captain Chas, Arbuthnot, Royal Artillery Major Hicrginbotharn, 63.1 Regiment ; Lieut. Evans, 88th, and: Lieut. Rolls, 90th Light L.lantry. The last officer will, I believe, be the future Earl of Stradhroke, and the first-named officer has the reputation of being one of the best artillery officers out here, besides one of th coolest under fire that it is p , :ssij le to conceive. On pre motion to first captain lately, he exchanged companie,: so as to be µhie to remain out here. I hear that in each leg he has received a flesh wound, but I trust, if only for the sake of the Artillery, that he will not be obliged t leave the Crimea, as this arm of the service, particularly "the siege train," cannot afford to lose many such ()Eli cers. With reference to general after orders of the 26id I may inform you that the investiture took place as or ranged, at 2 in the afternoon, but owing to the positie , ef the troops and the great number of French, Sar dinian, and naval officer , , &e., that crowded round tie throne or dais, formed out of the portico leading from the court- -d into General Simpson's house, very fey. were enabled to see any portion of the ceremony ; I have little doubt that the whole effect wets vere eetty from the house itself. Brigadier-General GA. et, 16th Regiment, commanded the 500 men of t'i• 4th Division, and Brigadier-General Barlow, 14th li.- . ( - 4itnent, the 500 men of the :3.1 Division. At head quarters a capital breakfast and luncheon were given to a select few, and after the latter Lord Stratford de Redcliffe again left for Constantinople. Sir Harry Jones was too ill to be present at the ceremony, and so had to be invested in hie hut. Before closing this letter, I must bring under your notice the absurd manner in which they reward out here men who distinguish them selves under heavy fire ; and also the sad manner in which that scientific, and, as everybody must allow, that deserving corps of Sappers and Miners, has been of • glected. One would have thought that by this time ex perience would have taught England better policy, mil that she would have held out every inducement to en courage her soldiers to perform their duties cheerfully ; but to explain more fully what I mean by " absurd re wards," I furnish you with two extracts from the Bri gade Orders, Royal Sappers and Miners, which I have succeeded iu procuring : BRIGADE ORDERS. Head-quarters before Sebastopol, July 27. The Major-General commanding, having received .a special report of the conduct of Corporal John Ross, 2d Company Royal Sappers and Aliners, while employed in the trenches of the right attack, i , on the night o f th e 21 . t inst., has had much gratification n bringing the name of this non-commissioned officer un . der the no ti ce of the Lieutenant - General Commanding-m-Chief, w h o has been pleased to award him a donation of two sovereigns. By order, &c. BRIGADE ORDERS. Head-quarters before Sebastopol, Aug. 24, 1855, The Major-General has had much pleasure in bringing under the notice of the Commander of the Forces the .conduct of Corporal Ross, Royal- Sappers and Miners, in charge of the advance on the Redan, which was re ported by the officer of Engineers on duty last night as extremely creditable, and Gerferal Simpson has awarded him a gratuity of three sovereigns. By order, &c. Now 51. is not the way to reward a man like Corporal Ross for his services. He ought to have been made a supernumerary serjeaat the first time, and for the ee:tond report ought to have been given acornmission and a distin guishing medal, as I understand he is a capital non-corri miesioned officer on parade, besides having 12' years ser vice. The Sappers and Miners out here consist of nine companies ; but-through their severe losses from their exposed duties in the trenches, and through sickness, instead of being 900 strong, they are under 510 in camp, besides which about one in seven are in hospital. 01 1 these nine companies three of them have been through the campaign in Bulgaria, four were at Alma, five at', Inkerman, and the whole have regularly done duty iu the trenches ; and yet, with the exception of the order of Medidje, which a few of the 10th company obtained lately for the campaign on the Danube, not one single distinguishing medal has been given to the corps, nor has a single non-commissioned officer been given a commission in the engineers or the line. Even the q u artermastership, now turned into a D.A.Q.M.G., was most unusually held by an officer of engi neers ; and at this moment, although there are nine companies in one camp, the home aethoritie; have never sanctioned the appointment of a permanent quartermaster or setjeant-major. How, with all this staring us in the face, can Englishmen expect these men to do their peculiar dnties efficiently ? And yet they do; far the gallant conduct of the Sappers and Miners gene rally, particularly during a b ombardment, when they hate to repair the embrasures, is the wonder of the *.h6le army. You will be glad to hear that Lieutenant Denni s , 3 d B uffs; Ma j or Henry, R.A. ' Captain Hon. R. moamend, Coldstream Guards, and Captain Browne, E • ~ are going on favourably.

The September general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday in3rning at the Court-house, in Clerken well green, before Mr. Bod kin (presiding for the Assistant Judge), Mr. Witham, and Mr. Turnley. The number of prisoners for trial was 65, of whom 58 were charged with felony, and seven with misdemeanour. _ Mr. Bodkin, in his address to the grand jury, after adverting to the nature of the duty they were summoned to discharge, observed that the cale n d ar f or t h e present session was somewhat lighter than usual, when viewed with reference to the period which bad intervened since the last—a fact attributable in some degree, no doubt, to the operation of a recent Act of Par liament, which gave magist ra t es out o f sess i on the power of disposing summarily of cases of larceny of a particular class, and under certain circumstances. The question of that power being given had been long under consideration, and at length (by the way of ex periment, perhaps) th e L eg i s l ature b a d approved of the principle, and now magistrates were empowered to act summarily in certain cases of larceny. It would be premature to express any opinion as to what might be the result of the operation of such a change, but, un doubtedly, considerable inconvenience had arisen from the fact that old thieves, men wl2o had been before con victed, had been summarily convicted of some trivial of fence, and sentenced to short terms of imprisonment, through the magistrate having been uninformed of their previous history, whereas if their former character had been known, a sentence of penal servitude, or one of long imprisonment, would have been appropriate to their case. There was no doubt that notorious thieves had been dealt with very leniently under this act, and perhaps some endeavour would be made to remedy such an evil, for it was a detriment to the interests of public justice that a person of bad character, and a convicted criminal, should be treated lightly, through his real character not being known to the magistrate before whom he was taken. The grand jury then retired. Joseph, Curtis, a respectably-dressed mail, who was found guilty last session of a daring garotte robbery, and who was remanded that inquiries might be made into his character, was brought up for judgment. The policeman stated that he had made inquiries, but could not ascertain that he had been convicted. He was, however, known as an associate of well-known and de . - --perate thieves. Mr. Bodkin said the charge against the prisoner was one et a very serious character. Street robberies iii the i-,pen day were becoming very numerous, and must be put a stop to. I,r this case the robbery was committed in open day in the City-road, with violence, and he should therefore mark his sense of it by sentencing the ii.ioner to twelve mr , nthsi' imprisonment with hat,l labour in ti:e House of Correction. Joseph, Whitehead, who wa, found guilty last session on a charge of embFzz!ement, was brought up and sen• tenced to one month's imprisonment, with hard labour. Thomas Day, c'invicted at the last session with tr3ther man who was sentenced to three years' hard labour for robbing a woman in Liquorpond-street, May's-inn-lane, at a late hour at night, was brought up for jud;ment, and the court sentenced him to one year's lirtrd labour. William Boston, 28, whitesmith, was indicted for having stolen a pound and a half of brass, the property of :Richard Griffiths, his master. Mr. Ririe prosecuted ; Mr. Hurry appeared fur the prißnner. The prosecutor was a brass founder, in Hatton-wall, and the prisoner had been in his service some time. Oa the 2d inst. some brass was found secreted in a hole, and it being known that metal was constanCy missing, the hole was watched, and the prisoner was seen to take the brass away. As be was about to leave the premises nizht he was stopped, and a pound and a half of bra, was found in his pocket. All he said about it was that he intended to ask his master to give the brass to him. The jury found him guilty. The ro o'ecutor's father said he superintended the busi ness. There was a boy now in custody for robbing them, and the prisoner had been tampering with artother boy. A. short time ago a man was discharged from their em ployment on suspicion of robbing them, and on that oc casion the prisoner went about the neighbourhood preach. in' what a scoundrel a man must be to rob his employer, and how seriously a master must suffer in the end if a servant took only a quarter of a pound of metal a day. At the last taking of stock there was a deficiency of metal to the amount of 200!. Mr. Bcdkin sentenced him to nine months' hard la. bour. John ayticley, 22, and Jaws Gilson, 21, labourers, were indicted for stealing a quantity of lead, the pro perty of the East and West India Dock Company, from some premises belonging to them, adjoining the East India-road. The evidence did not carry the case beyond suspicion, and the result was an acquittal. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted ; Mr. Platt was for the de fence. (Before Mr. Witham.) Lotou Lucas, 40, described as a bricklayer, was in dieted f.r having stolen one sixpence, the money of John Niner. The toode in which the prisoner committed this of fence was rather an ingenious one. He was in the habit ri; frequenting shops, and asking fer some trifling article of the price of a penny, which being supplied him, he tendered a shilling or a sixpence, which was placed in the till in the usual way, and he received the change. He would then appear to suddenly recollect that he re , gnired another small article, for which he paid, and when the till was opened for the reception of the coin tor the second purchase he managed to draw out the or sixpence, as the case might be, which he hal jest before paid, by means of a long hair attached, or 'e end to fieeer and the other to the coin. When La wa- , taken into custody, seven sixpences, each with a hair attached, were found upon him, and there was no loubt he had been carrying on this system of plunder •or some time. The "dodge" is not a new one, but, it is oune years since a similar case came before the court. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and Mr. Witham sentenced him to two years' hard labour. John, Jacobs, 44, was indicted for a robbery in a dwelling-house, and he was further charged with having been previously convicted. He pleaded guilty, and hegeed hard to be sent out of the country at once, irati much as he bad tried to the litino.st to get an honest iving, but coukl not, as being an old thief the police had dodged him about from pillar to post, and had regu• 'arty hunted him down. Mr. Witham sentenced him t) six years' penal cery tude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-SCR Ear. --Samuel Hay, a cap tain in the East India Company's service, residing at No. 6, Blornfield-street, Harrow road, was brought be• fore Mr. Bingham, charged with obtaining from Mr. Andrew Campbell, jeweller, 43, Tottenham-court-road, three gold watches, three gold chains, and other articles of the value of 68/. 35., by fraudulent pretences. He was further charged with obtaining from Mr. Ailbon, conist, 227, Regent-street, a quantity of cigars and pipes, value 231. 195., by similar means. Mr. Campbell deposed that on the evening of the 3d inst. thedefendant, of whom he had some previous know ledge, accompanied by two young ladies, came to his shop, and selected three gold watches, three gold chain, three brequet chains, one gold bracelet, apair of diamond ear-rings, and other articles, which came to 681. 34., and in payment for which he gave witness the cheque now produced for that amount, drawn upon Alexander, Fletcher, and Co. Prosecutor packed up the goods, and the defendant took them away with him. Ou the following morning witness presented the cheque, and was informed that the defendant had no effects there. Prosecutor saw no more of the defendant until yesterday when he saw him pass his (prosecu tor's) residence in the Harrow-road. Witness followed him till he met a police constable, when he gave him into custody. The defendant said he would return the goods, that he bad no money at Alexander's, but they had a power of attorney to receive his money from the company. Witness had recovered all the goods from the defendant, and did not wish to press the charge any further, Mr. Allbon said that on Saturday last the defendant called at his shop and selected goods to the amount of 231. 195., in payment for which he gave him a cheque f,r the amount, drawn upon Alexander, Fletcher, and Co. On preventing the cheque on Monday, he was told there were no tffeets. The defendant had given up all the goods, and he (prosecutei) did not wish to proceed further in the ruatttr. Tne Alexander and defendmt, in rep l y to the charge, said Mesz-re. Co. had given him two cheque books— one for town and the other for the country— and he had given them a power of attorney to receive his pay from the company, and also front some idea th m e o e n h e e y qu a e t Property in Scotland. He thou g ht Alexander's, and bad not the being dishonoured till Sunday, least he had ef Mr. Bingham said he should remand the defendant till Wednesday, but would take his own recognisance to appear on that day. CLERKENWELL.-108"p15 Robinson and IVillia Gundy, labourers on the Great Nottheru Railway, were charged with stealing- from one of the trucks standing in the goods station, a large number of cups and saucers, and other property. It appeared that one of the constables in the employ of the railway, on Saturday, lifted up straw which was lying about in a very suspicious manner, and found under italargenumberofcupsapd saucers, Having mark ad four of the cumr, he went away, and on his return found that a large portion of the property was gone. Suspicion fell on the two prisoners ; and upon Green and another con stable going to the residence of the prisoners, and search. ing the place, they found that and other property is their possession. Having been cautioned, they stated that they bad taken the property from one of the trucks in the yard. They bad made inquiries, and had ascertained that Mr. Duckwitb, a china dealer, of Camden-town, had missed some property of the description named from one of his crates. The prisoners were remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER.—Jaines Riley, described as a labourer, was charged with a b ru t a l assau l t upon Eliza beth Atkins, a woman with whom be cohabits. Complainant, whose head was literally enveloped in linen bandages, stated that on the previous night she and defendant went out together, and had some liquor, and Upon their return home defendant asked for some supper. She hid been unable to procure any, and told him so, hand " Whi ch he became very violent, an d h ur l e d a basin at her, which cut her head open. A police constable stated that complainant came to him with her head I)4ndaged, and stated that s h e had just returned from the hospital.

It was that of one of the carriages that was overhetted at 1 / 1 114p/trill. This lead: me to suppose the t the mail baf actually, opened thi- lox. His getting out was contrary to the it-tractions If he had observed any inilleations of heating he should have signalled to the guard to stop the train. The axlebox was quite cool at Ferryhill. I do not think my grease had been put in after,the train left Darlington. I ex amined the viaduct where the man was found yesterday. I saw marks on the third post from the south end of the viaduct, which led me to believe his head was struck against that post, and had rebounded against the carriage, and then struck a second time against the head of another post, and the carriage carried him over the via duct where he was found. The man's proper place was in the van, but he hal got out of a carriage which he must have got into at Darlington. The axles were also overheated at York. I can speak to the Queen's car, riages. He might see if the carriage was heated without getting out. lam eatified he must have apprehended it, or be would not have got out. If he was in a car riage he would have no means to signal the guard. I gave him no further directions at Darlington. The via 'duct has been in the same state for 11 years, and no acci dent has occurred. OFFICIAL DESPATCH. ( From a Supplement to Friday's ( lazette. ) Mr. Arnold said that he would suppose there might have been provocation for the first assault, as the com plainant was under the influence of liquor, but there could be none for the second, which was of a brutal description, and he therefore committed defendant for two months to hard labour in the House of Correction. WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 10, Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Simpson. BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, AUG. 28. My Lord,—Since the attempt of the enemy to force the passage of the Tchernaya, on the 16th instant, no movement of aggression has taken place ; but all the ac counts I have received tend to show a dispositlon on (heir part to renew the attack. I have considered it necessary to send the Highland Division, composed of ;he 42d, 71st, 79th, and 931 Regime., ts, under the com mand of Lieutenant-General Sir C. Campbell, to rein force our extreme right, and they are now encamped on the slopes of the heights overhanging the village of Kamara. LAMBETH. —Mr. Jenkins, the landlord of the Queen Ann public-house on Watworth-common, waited on Mr. Elliott yester lay to contradict some of the state ments made 137 a person named Parrott. Mr. Jenkins said he was from home when the death of George Fresh water, his late potman, took place, and therefore the statement of Parrott, that he had offered to pay half the funeral expenses, was destitute of truth. He (Mr. Jen kins) had further to complain of the disgusting conduct of Parrott at his house during his absence, in exhibiting the heart of the deceased in so open and indelicate a manner in his hands that the blood streamed through his fingers, and the exhibition had such an effect upon his daughter that she became seriously ill, and he bad been obliged to call in a medical gentleman to attend her. Mr. Elliott—Did this man Parrott collect any money at your house ? I have likewise placed 50 guns and the cavalry in re. serve, to act on the first appearance of the enemy. The 56th Regiment has arrived, and I have attadhed to the list Division. James Johnson, of Doncaster, deposed—l am super intendent of the locomotive department of the Great Northern Railway. I have seen the body, and identify it as that of William Haigh, who was the examiner of carriages upon the trains. He was employed by me first in 1853. I produce his character from the Nerth- Eastern Railway, where he had been employed for three years. I sent him from Doncaster to go with the Royal train in consequence of his steady habits and character. He has left a widow and three children. The siege operations are progressing favourably ; but, owing to the brightness of the nights, a large amount of work cannot be executed. Mr. Jenkins—When he came to my house and exhi bited the heart of the deceased, he said it was his inten tion to bury the remains of Freshwater, and required 12s. to purchase the ground ; and my sister-in-law, who was in charge of my business, gave him half-a-crown, expressing a hope at the time that she should never see him again. I understood him to say that he had got is. 6d. out of the 12s. to purchase the ground, and all this no doubt he has obtained by false pretences. This Par rott's improper conduct, and the statement in the news papers, has been the cause of much annoyance to me and my family. Mr. Elliott—ls this person P4rrott forthcoming ? Foster, the officer—No, sir, I have not be en able to find him. The raft bridge from the north side to the south shore has been completed, and is actually in use by the enemy. and a considerable increase of troops, with a good deal of movement, is observable in the town. The installation of the Knights of the Bath took place yesterday at my head-quarters, and was conducted with great dignity and solemnity by Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe. George Pigott, of King's-cross, London, deposed,—l am porter to the Great Northern Railway. I came down with the Royal train on Thursday to grease the carriages. I was in the front van from Darlington. I saw the decease'l get into a first-case carriage at Dar lington. A man pained Howard was in the van with me. He said, " Bill is out, greasing the hot-box." I did not hear anything more until the train stopped, and I was informed he had fallen out. The deceased was with me in the Royal trait' last year. Thomas Howard, of Doncaster, deposed,—l am em ployed on the Great Northern Railway. I was sent to London to go es one of the " greasers " to the Royal train on Thursday. The carriage was warm at Darling ton. We had to take the Queen's carriage off at Dar lirgton. The deceased got into a first-class carriage al Darlington, next to the break ;he was alone. A few minutes after we left Darlington I saw deceased gef upon the footboard. He had agi easing-box with him, and I saw him filling the box. When the train stepped at Ferryhill I was informed Haigh had fallen off. The decead had got out of the carriage teaie or twice after we left London to grease, the wheels. We ha,l no ceder, but what were printed and in the van. Ido not think the deceased had ar.y other orders. I saw the deceased put the greasing-box into the carriage before he got in at Darlington. William Blakey, of King's-cross, London, deposed,— I was sent as a greaser to the Royal train on Thursday. I saw the eeceased get into the carriage at Darliogtoi , which had been hot?; he took a greasing-box with him. He had no orders to do so. I saw him out of the car riage soon after, but did not see him fall. I had been out upon the Great Northern Railway, but had no orders except what were in the van. I did not hear any orders given to the decayed. The passengers had been shifted oat of this mileage at Darlington. John Cefrin, of Doncaster. deposed—l am superin tendent of the carriages on the Great Nerthern :Rail way. I selected Wm. Ilaigh as one of -the men to go with the Royal train on Thursday. The men were under my orders. At Darlington we took the Queen'f. carriage off. I was engaged with it, and did not see the deceased get into the carriage. I bad got the passenger:, out of this carriage to Fghten it. I stopped at Darling ton until the next train. I had not seen any of the men upon the footboard when the train was in motion, and gave no orders to them to go there. There was no acca sion to g' t out to grease the carriages. I believe they were cooler when we got to Newcastle. The effect was most iniposing, attended as the cere mony was by the Naval and Military Commanders-in- Chief of the Allied Forces ; and after the delivery by her Majesty's Ambassador of a peculiarly elriquent discourse upon the character and history of the Most Honourable Order, the several Knights were respectively invested with the insignia of their Cass. Mr. Elliott—You shall have a warrant for his appre. hension. I transmit the weekly report of the principal Medical Officer, which shows a decided improvement in the health of the army, and the lists of casualties to the 26th inst.—l have, &e., SOUTH WATIK.—J ane Gibson, a Scotch woman, aged 43, until recently a nurse in St. Thomas's Hospital, was ;barged with having in her possession an immense quan tity of property belonging to the Crimean Hospital and the Patriotic Fund. James Smith, police constable, said—On Sat irday night, from information I received I went with Inspector Moor, to the prisoner's lodgings, N.). 45, Redcross- . street, She was in the room, and I told her that I suspected she in her possession considerable property belonging to Goverommit. She asked me what I meant ? I told her I believed she had stores belonging to the Hospitals in thi, Crimea. She replied, " Whatever I have got were given to me by Miss Nightingale, at, Scutari." I saw four large boxes in her room, anit I asked her to open +hem. While she was doing so I perceived a large wa terproof sheet, swill as those used in the military hospi tals at the seat of war. I asked her how she became possessed of that ? She replied that a soldier of the Scots Fusilier Guards gave it to her. She said she was chosen by Mrs. Sidney Herbert to proceed with several other nurses to the east. ; that in December last s h e accom- JAMES SIMPSON, Goneral Commanding, Th© Lord Panmure, &c. &c. &c.

General. panied Miss Stanley to Constantinople, and from thence to Scutari and 13alaklava, and that she remained At the latter place until June last, when she was sent home. I understand she was discharged for drunkenness, and sent home in disgrace. Soon after her arrival in London she obtained a situation in St. Thomas's Hospital, but she had returned to her drunken habits, and a short time•Pince sh• was dismissed. Mr. Seeker—What other property did you find in her room ? Constable—When she opened the boxes she first pulled out two very fine linen shirts, marked "J. S." 49-6, and another one marked "J. S." 41-12. I asked her where she got them, as they evidently belonged to some military officer ? She replied, " Oh, Miss Nightingale gave them to me." After that she corrected herself, and said they were her husband's, who went with her to the Crimea. I believe she has no husband. She next took from the box three fine new linen shirts, two marked " W. 5.," and one marked "Burbidge." Those she said belonged to herself, but I have strong reason to be lieve they belong to the camp hospitals. I next found a hook entitled " Memoirs of Father Ripa's Travels in China." It is marked officially on the title-page, "Aus tralian Royal Mail Steam Packet Company," and un derneath that "Presented to the Royal Patriotic Fund for the use of the sick." She said a soldier gave it to her. Prisoner—Yes, sir ; I got it at Balaklava to read on my voyage home. Constable—l have an immense quantity of others of a similar nature, and others published by the Society for the Diffusion of Christian Knowledge, which have been sent over to the army in the Crimea, but I have not got them in court. I fuither searched her boxes and found two large linen table cloths, one marked "S. 0. 8.," No. 9, 1843, and the other marked " B." One chemise marked " 7 8.," 12 ; one "E. S. E.," 9; one " E. S. 5.," and one "E. S. E.," 8. I asked her where she got these things from ? and she said that Miss Nightingale, Miss Bracebridge, and Miss Stanley had given them to her. I also found a large thick flannel shirt marked " A. W.," No. 2 ; three napkins marked " F. A.. S. I. Z., 36, E. 24, 1842." Two pair of army hospital shoes - narked on the soles with the broad arrow, quite new. In another part cf her room I found a feather pillow marked "Scutari Hospital, from Finsbury-sqnare." Prisoner—l got that given to me at Balaklava,, when I went to attend the wick and woun:led there. AS to the shoes, they were delivered out to me by the pur % eyor, at Bals.klava, for my own use, as well as a pair of thick Russian boots, to stand the inclemency of the climate. In fact all the things were given to me. Miss Bracebridge was very kind to the nurses, and when I ,N - as cornier!, home she told me to hike anything I wanted. I accordingly took them. Miss Bracebridge eridered her housekeeper to give we a good supply, and she gave me the flannel, sheets, and table-cloths. Miss Stanley gave me the others, and saw me pack up my boxes and go on board ship. Inspector Moore—The prisoner told me that if the goods were wrong Miss Nightingale gave them to her. We have nearly a cart load of property in the station sonee of a similar description to those produced, and I ask ter a remand to enable me to coinniunicate with the Government and Mrs. Sidney Herbert. Mr. Seeker—. Then I sl;a1 remand her for a week. David iiiscroll, a thick-,et powerfu!-looking felis w. of a very determined asp,ct, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged \Nall violently assaulting Joh., TAurtell, the master of a trading vessel, lamb of Pickle Herring stairs, and rubbing him of his watch. Tire pi. ecut - ..r stated, that on Sunday evening, about halt-past eight, he was proceeding to his vessel, and when he arrived at the wharf he found her lying high and dry. He stood for a moment looking at the vessel, when the prisoner came up to him, and asked him a question, which he answered ; but as witness was looking at the men on board, he suddenly pounced upon him and threw him down, and while on the ground he snatched his watch, breaking it from the chain, and before witness could get up prisoner ran away. Frederick Hough, 112 M, said he received informa tion of the robbery, and at two o'clock on Sunday morn ing be went to No. 5, Vineyard, and knocked at the door, hut was refused admission. Ho then burst open the door, and found the prisoner in bed. He woke him up, and told him he wanted him for a robbery, telling him at the same time the nature of the charge, but he denied all knowledge of it. Witness took him into cus tody, and when at the station-house the prosecutor and Benjamin Bristow, the mate cf the vessel, who witnessed the affair, identified him as the thief. In answer to the charge the prisoner said he went home drunk on Saturday night last, and he knew nothing of the robbery. The magistrate remanded him for a few days for fur ther evidence. Tito coroner having slimmed up the evidence, the jury found a verdict of "Accidental Death." EHE LATE MYSTORIOUS MURDER AT THE BRISTOL H(►TWELLS BRISTOL, Sept. 9.—The detective officers devoted a great part of yesterday to another searching examina tion of the two paths and the wood, but with no satisfac. tory result ; but a circumstance has been brought to the knowledge of .the authorities, which, should it turn ont as represented, will very much tend to confirm the im pression entertained in many quarte.s that the murder was the work of a lunatic. A gentleman of very great intelligence, and of the highest respectability, has stated that he has met with a woman, who reside* in the coun try, at a few miles on the Gloucestershire side of Bristol, and who, as she does washing for some families at Clif ton, has occasiotally to make visits to that place. Her nearest course from her residence to Clifton lies across the Down ; and she states that on the Saturday evening in queslim, at about dusk, as she was ,crossing the Down, a man in a state of great excitement ran up to her and said, "Which is hell's gate ?"jNot c mnprehend itig what he wanted, she was in the act of asking when he said, "Where is the mouth of hell ?" Havirg asked which he darted off, The woman, as may be sup posA, was greatly terrified, but she states that she di,- titietly saw blood on• the cuff of his coat, and that he looked very wild. The description which the woman is said to give of the man so closely corresponds with some other circum , tances which it is undesirable at present to mention specifically, that the matter has been brought under the wice of the authorities, by whom, no doubt, a searching inquiry will be made.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT WITH THE ROYAL TRAIN. The inquest upon the body of William Haigh, who accompanied the Royal train on the 6th inst., and was killed between Darlington and Ferryhill, on the North- Eastern Railway, was held at the Swan Inn, Ferryhill station, on the Bth inst., before Mr. W. Trotter, coroner, of Darlington-ward. The inquest was appointed for 10 o'clock a.m., but was adjourned until 2 p.m., on account of the non-attendance of witnesses. The following' evi dence was adduced : Robert Buckton, of Ricknall, deposed—l am a plate iayer on the North-Eastern Rail way. I wa t standing ou the north side of Ricknall-bridge on Thursday last, the Gth inst. ; I was looking out for the Royal train, in which the Queen was travelling from London to Edin burgh. The train came up about 34 minutes past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. When the train had got about 400 yards past ins I saw a man open the door of a car riage about a third from the van behind ; he stepped 'out upon the foot-board with his face to the south. When he got to the end of the carriage he turned his face to the north, and then st oope d d own and looked at the axle-box. Al soon as the carriages passed over the viaduct which crosses the river Skerne I saw something white fly up, which I thought was a newspaper. I went on to look, and found a man lying about 10 yards over the viaduct, b. t meen the two lines of rails. He was lying on his side, and quite dead. He bad a large out and fracture upon the top and, front part of his bead. His :Ain't was fractured. There are some rails on the viaduct between the two lines of rails; and I think the loan might have hit his head against the rails. There was a little blood upon the north end of the rails. There are nearly 30 inches between the iron rails and the wood an I was raeilts.o heir the vi a d uct. The wood rails are about three fe hour, mht. Tile train w about I ,2oo a y s ards off where th e man running about 48 m il es footboard when the train passed was found. I had' not my eye u t p h o e n vi t a n d e uc m t. an lona think the body to this house the same he would be oilinn , the shea I assisted in removing aftev o oon. The man didw as dressed not s eeo like a pers o n s s grease employed ui e wheels when the train u a oil railway.upon was passing along. I found a vessel a with thel middle of the viaduct, which led me to believe the had been now the man. I think his left, arm was broken. Alexander Christison, of Neweastle-on-Tyne deposed —I am superintendent of the passenger traffic on the North-Ea4tern Railway. I joined the Royal train at York on Thursday. When the train arriverl at Darling ton it was found necessary to detach the Queen's car riage' in consequence of one of the axles being v ery h ot, and also to cool the axles of two other carriages. The Queen got into another carriage in the train. We l e f t Darlington at 2.25. I was not aware of anything being mow until we got to Ferryhill, when the train stopp e d in consequence of a signal from the guard in the last van.

DinvEnTisumENT.)--Etollovvay's Pills for the effectual cure of Dropsy.—The singular efficacy of Holloway's pills in the numerous cures effected by their use, je some of the most obstinate cases of dropsy, is most ex traordinary. These astonishing pills act with sue!, peculiar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly carried off and entirely prevented from any further aceumulation. The distressing symptoms which accompany this com plaint being thus dispersed, the sufferer regains buoyancy of spirits and a complet e ly renovated constit•ition.

A paper published by order of the House of Commons on the motion of Sir G. Grey, Bart., supplies some in teresting information respecting the Conseils de Prud'- hommes. The existence of these conceits dates from the year 1806, when the great Napoleon established a "Con ceit de Prud'hommes" in Lyons. by a law of that year. An imperial decree issued in 1809, and amended by a decree of 1810, contained the regulations in detail under which they were to be established and conducted, and provided that the Government might create similar tri bunals wherever it should think fit. In 1807 Rouen and Nimes obtained them, and several other F r e nc l, towns in 1808 and 1809. Paris, strangely enough, was without a Conseil de Prud'hommes until 1844, chiefly on account of the practical difficulties which it was ex pected would arise from the great variety of the branche, of manufacture there carried on ; but iii that year or.. Conseil ee Prud'hernmes was established there, and in 1847 three more. The number of conceits in France it, 1849—a year after the downfall of the dynasty of Lou's Philippe —amounted to 74, and their number is at l.r sent about the same. At the revolution of 1848, wh:n the Orleans family was dethroned and driven from France, several violent changes were made in the regu lations applicable to th em , but the law on the sub ject was again altered, in some important points, by the imperial law of the Ist of June, 1853. The colleens are established by Governmental decree, on the advice of a Chamber rif Commerce, or a Chamber of Arts and Manufactures. The '.number of members is not to be less than six, exclusive of the president and vice president. The Conseil is composed of masters and workmen in equal numbers, exclusive of the two func tionaries already named, whom the Government itself appoints, and who need not be members of the colleens or master manufacturers or workmen. Until the revo lution of 1848 the law required that the number of mas, ters should exceed that of the workmen by one, and the president and vier-president were chosen from among the members. The danger of a deadlock, if the votes should be equal, is now ol.viated by the casting vote el the president, But as he is nominated by the Govern ment, it may, perhaps, he considered that his vote gives to capital a preponderating iefistence in the conseil. The members of the conseil are elected (at a public meeting) by master manufacturers and operatives of 25 years . A age and upwards, who have been (the masters) patentes for 5 years. or who (the workmen) have exercised their trade for five years. The qualifications of members of the nonseil are as follows, viz. :—to have attained the age of 30, to be able to read and write, and to he qualified as no elector. The masters and workmen meet separately for the election of the conseil ; on the first time of taking the votes an absolute msjority is required, but at the second a relative one suffices. Half the members (.f the contest' retire by lot once in three years, but are re-eligible. Each conseil'holde a general meeting hebdomadally. Tne main object of these institutions is the decision of dis putes between masters and workmen, or between the workmen themselves, but they also exercise specific functions of an administrative character. In the first instance, disputes are referred to the Bureau de Conci liation, which sits daily, and is, in fact, a committee of the General Council ; if they cann,A be adjusted there the Bureau-General, or weekly meeting of the council itself, takes cognisance of them, and the decision of this body is binding in all cases where the sum or value at issue equ - als or falls short of 200 f. In all other cases the decisions of the Bureau-General are suject to an ap peal to a superior Court. The ministerial functions of the cow/ells consist in investigating complaints of in fraction t f the laws relating to manufactures, and send ing the proces.verbaux containing the result of their in quiry before the ordinary law court which takes cognis ance of the offence. A similar duty is imposed upon the conseils in cases of appropriation by the workmen of raw materials given out to them, or of fraud by dyers (teinturiers), in reference to such materials. The de cision of these cases is within the jurisdiction of the prud'hommes themselves, but thy may also be taken by the parties in the dispute before any legal tribunal, and in that case the duty of the prud'hommes is simply ministerial.

The conseils have other duties to list:barge, including certain ones in regard to manufac turers' marks, &c. The conseils have the power of suounoni-g witnesses and imposing fines and imprison ment.

In Bel Orin, two Cons. sde Prud 'h were established m Ghent and Bruges by Im perial decrees of 1810 a , el 1813. A !akv was passed in 1842 authorising Govern.nent to e‘tablish conseils in 17 other (specified) towns, and in 1843 and 1845 special laws established them in two other towns. - Limier these laws, however. Gouserl ik Prird'hommes h ave been e,tahlisth ed in only 12 towns in Belgium, and Brusselsi;ioq among them. In 1845, 1,060 cues were decided by the Bel ian and in 1846, 834, most of them by the Bureau de Conciliation. There are no later statistics. The laws and regulations under which these conseils are conducted are mainly the same as t'aose established by the Imperial French laws and - decrecs. Besides the conseils esta blished in France and Belgium, Napoleon L created ten others—at Aix, Cologre, Crewelt, Duren, Clad back, Kaldenkirchen, Leyde, Mont joie, Stolber4 and Rome. After the peace of 1815, Cor.scil4 de Prud'hommes were established by law at several other towns in Rhenish Prussia, where they are now called " Tribuilaux d'lnilus trie." All these are subject to the regulations of the French Imperial law of 1809, and the decrees of 1809 and 1810. DEATH FROM CHOT,ERA AT PORTS- MOUTH. PORTSMOUTH, Monday. —The Ernu (No. 74), steam transport, Captain Small, has caused some alarm to the military authorities, owing to the sudden illness and decease of the third officer, Mr. Tupper. It appears that on Friday.evening last Mr. Topper was seizad with sickness and vomiting. The surgeon considered it to be nothing more than a bilious attack ; but on Saturday morning, the symptoms growing alarm ing, further medical advice was deemed necessary, and Dr. Scott, of F'ortsea was sent for. That gentleman i;auing visited the patient, found him better. Soon after, however, Mr. Tupper became worse, when Dr. Scott was again sent for, and he pronounced it a case of cholera. The patient gradually got worse, and at nine o'clock breathed, his last. _ _ The chief officer in tautly reported this to the chin mender, who ordered him. to go ashore for an under. taker. The ship's carpi-rater made a shell, and the body was conveyed on shore at 2.30 a.m. on Sunday morn ing, accompanied by the chief officer and the surgeon of the ship. They oral-red it to be taken to the police station, but the police iefw.red to receive it, or to have anything to do with it, upon which the undertaker pro curredthe keys of a dead-house in St. Mary's Cemetery, awl there dtptisited the body. To-day it has been in terred. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.
