The Urgent, iron screw steam storeship, Commander Phillips, was put out of the fitting basin, Sheerness, cn Saturday, and has been found to realise every expectation for her stowage of provisions and stores. She has berthed racks for 1,500 stand of arms, and, if necessary, could for short trips berth 2,000 troops. The covering of her boilers is not yet completed. By the condensing apparatus with which she is fitted she can, if necessary, supply her crew and a large number of troops daily with fresh water con densed from her boilers. She will stow 500 tons of coals, allowing 40 square feet to the ton. Her commander has been indefatigable in his exertions and attention in her fittings for the accommodation of troops of the line. She has only eight horse stalls—those are on the upper deck —to receive the horses of field officers. Her launches are all to be fitted as armed launches, and are to receive two carronades in each launch, if required. The Calcutta, 84 guns, Capt. J. F. Stopford, has taken all her lower deck gun carriages and guns, which were landed at Sheerness, on board, and, after completing stores of every description, ammunition, and munitions of war, left yesterday, at 11 a.m., for Portsmouth, where she will receive Admiralty orders as to her future move ments. Naples is said to be her destination. Some very beautiful specimens of small fir spars, cut from the Island of Nargen, were brought home in her. The French cut down the fir trees at Nargen for bed baulks and plat forms for the mortars, which they landed on the rocks opposite Sweaborg for bombarding that place. Most of the baulks squared about a foot. The steam-vessels Lizard and Fearless accompanied the Calcutta from Sheerness. The Siren, 16-gun sloop, at Sheerness, was under sail ing orders yesterday to proceed to Portsmouth. The Marley Hill transport, No. 169, has gone down to Greenhithe from Woolwich, and will be despatched thence to-day for!Balaklava. The intelligence from the seat of war has caused no diminution in the despatch of munitions of war from Woolwich, nor has it suspended in the slightest degree the receipt of projectiles from the foundries, as vessels arrive there in the same rapid succession as usual. An ordnance sloop, being the third with the Arabia's cargo, left Woolwich on Saturday with shot and 13-inch shell to be shipped on board that vessel at Portsmouth. The mortar-boat No. 9 has arrived at Woolwich. The Avon paddle-wheel steamer, of 361 tons burden, and 160- horse power, arrived also at Woolwich on Friday from Plymouth, to convey machinery to the western yards. The French Imperial steam-yacht Ariel, with some of the attendants of Prince Napoleon on board, arrived at Woolwich on Friday evening at 8.30 from the Nore. The Widgeon steam-tug arrived at Woolwich from Deptford, and has been taken into basin to have her en gines repaired. First-Lieutenant Erman, Royal Marines, is ordered for service in the Mediterranean. Lieut. Sims of the same corps has received orders to hold himself in readi ness for service in the Black Sea, in the room of Lieut. Johnstone, who remains at home by virtue of a doctor's certificate. The screw steam-transport Amity, No. 177, Captain Hopper, arrived at Spithead from the East on Saturday evening, from Malta. She passed, in lat. 46 30, long. 10 21 W., the British ship Courier, for Constantinople . ; at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, the 12th, Ushatit, east-by-south 40 miles, her Majesty's ship St. George, 120, on her way to Lisbon. The Amity brought home 273 bales of warm clothing to be cleansed, and Colonel Tilden's favourite horse. The Arabia steam-transport, No. 95, is shipping in Portsmouth harbour bombshells for the Crimea. She took in upwards of 2,000 (13-inch)on Saturday. She will also ship a quantity of the huts for troops of the number completed by Mr. Luke ()unwell, the Government con tractor at Portsmouth, and which have been for some time ready for shipment. The great sailing-transport Saldanha, No. 209, Capt. Wild (Lieut. Hawkey, R.N . ., Admiralty agent), is being fitted in Portsmouth harbour for the conveyance of troops to the East. The artificers are employed upon her early and late, and are ordered to work up to 12 o'clock on Tuesday night, as the troops will embark on Wednesday next. On Saturday the new iron screw-steamer Assistance, recently launched from the building-yard of Mr. John Laird, Liverpool, sailed from that port with upwards of 400 men and officers from various regiments and 130 horses. Among . the officers were—Ensigns W. James, Shuttleworth, Fraser, and J. James, of the 42d Regi ment; Ensigns Bu'vois, Roberts, and Swainson, 71st ; Ensigns Bedford, Ade,. ca, Walker, and Lord Louth, 97th ; Ensigns Surgison and Vidler, 93d—all for Malta. There were also 6 officers, 150 men, and 4 horses of the Royal Artillery ; Cept. Siborne, R.E. ; Lieut. E. D. Malcolm, R.E. ; and Capt. Charles Barry, R.E., for the Crimea; Major Green, 68th Regiment; Brevet-Major Marinder, Ist Foot, for Malta ; and Capt. Swinton, 6th Dragoons, one servant, and three horses for the Crimea. The steamer Jura will sail for the Crimea for Liver pool about the 28th inst. The North of Europe Steam Navigation Compa n y' s ship Tonning, No. 65 o f . the transport service, has ar rived at Lowestoft harbour to load huts for the Crimea. She has already on board 100 tons of 13-inch shell, and will proceed with all despatch. The Chanticleer screw steamer, Taylor, has also arrived at Newcastle, to take on board huts and railway sleepers; of the latter there are 12,000 now awaiting shipment. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ripon, Captain Cooper, transport, No. 25, sailed for the Crimea, f r o m S ou th amp t on , w i t h 22 officers, 953 men, 2 horses, and 6 officers' servants, yesterday morn ing—viz. :—Captain A. G. Shawe, 34th Regiment ; Captain W. Baker, 48th Regiment ; Lieut.-Colonel E. A. F. H. Berkeley ; Captains W. Aitchison, R. Gipps, W. W. Knollys, and Viscount Eunismore, Lieut. L. Paynter, and 207 men of the Scots Fusilier Guards ; Lieut.-Colonels Newdegate and Lord Dunkellin Mejor Lord Bingham, Captains Reeve, Hon. W. Fielding, and Lord E. Cecil, Lieut. Hon. W. Edwards, Surgeon itAtel ton, and 206 privates of the Ist Coldstream Guards ; Lieut.-Coloncl A. Foley, Gcenadier Guards ; Lieut.-Col. Hall, Licuts. Skinner Douglas. Brock, and Sexton, and 236 men and 2 horses of the 82d Regiment ; and 203 of the Land Transport Corps under the command of Capte. Shawe and Baker. It was not until Saturday morning that the officials of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany were aware of the arrival of all the troops on that day. Immediately upon the receipt of the information steam was got up, and, in consequence of the arrival of the whole of the men without any delay, they were all on board, and the vessel had hauled from alongside by 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Ripon then steamed into the river, where she brought up f or th e n i g ht , an d sa il e d for her destination yesterday morning. The men were all in the best of spirits, and seemed mere to be under the influence of a lengthened holiday for pleasure than being about to undergo the many hardships of a cam p sign in the Crimea. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Hydaspes, Captain Baker, transport No. 87, will sail from South ampton this morning for Devonport, where she will em bark about 250 wee of the Land Transport Corps for the Crimea. She is heavily laden with shells and huts The First Lord of the Admiralty on Thursday after noon when the inspection of the Plymouth Royal Naval Hospital was cmcluded went to the prisons at _Mildew, where the Russians are confined, under charge of Lieu tenant Veitch, R.N., the G overnor, who, with the medi cal officer and interpreters, escorted Sir Charles Wood over the buildings. His lordship passed through the lower and middle wards of the main prison and the lower prisons, and took great interest in ascertaining the different classes of prisoners under confinement, assd pointed out several alterations to be made for the im provement of the prisons, the internal condition of which is in a very satisfactory state. The Lords of the Admiralty commenced their duties on shore on Friday, by landing, at half-past 11, at the new basin in the Devonport dockyard, where they were received by a guard of honour of the 22d Regiment. Whi'e Sir Charles Wood mustered and inspected the artisans Admirals Berkeley and Richards held a levee for naval officers in the office of the Admiral -superinten dent, whore the First Lord subsequently joined them. They then went up Hamoaze, and inspected the seam en in ordinary on board the Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcome, and other ships in ordinary ; after whi c h they landed at and examined the gun-wharf, and in the evening gave the official dinner at Moorshead's Royal Hotel, Devonport. On Saturday morning their lords ships, after inspecting the flag-ship Impregnable, 120, Captain Wise, left Hamoaze in the Black Eagle, and on entering the Sound brought up between the island and the main. Sir Charles Wood, Admiral Berkeley, and Admiral Richards landed at half-past 11, at the pontoon of the Great Western Docks, accompanied by Port- Admiral Sir William Parker, Admiral-Superintendent Sir James Plumridge, Captain Kingcome, Mr. Thome This enterprising gentleman has made his last ascent of Mont Blanc—for the present. On Saterdav night, the fact having been duly announced, the Egyptian Hall was well filled, Mr. Albert Smith never failing to accumulate a good array of fashionables, whether the season be "on" or " off "—at its highest or at its lowest point. The lecture, which was characterised by no fea ture of novelty, passed off with as keen a relish of enjoy ment as it did months and months ago ; nor was the lecturer himself a whit less fresh and animated than when first he told his tale of peril and adventure. No thing like the success which has awaited this particular entertainment has been heard of in the history of public sights, and it is one of the marvels of the day that it has so long preserved the vigour of its interest, and evinced no appreciable sign of exhaustion or decay. At the close of the song apropos to Galignani's Mes senger Mr. Smith delivered the following valedictory speech—with what applause need not be told : " It is very difficult in an aldress of this kind to keep quite clear of anything that may be construed into an ex pi ession of egotism or conceit—in fact, inflicting the most terrible of all bores upon hearers —talking about yourself. You will, I trust, acquit me of this vanity presently, even after hearing the following extract :- bought, by chance, at a book-stall the other day a vo lume of plays, amongst which was the libretto of one of the celebrated Mathews' Entertainments.' It was called the Mail Coach Adventures,' and in a memoir of Mr. Mathews' that preceded it, I was amused by this remark—' That one man should have it in his power to please for 40 nights successively is almost incredible. Still, it is no less strange than true !' Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have told you the same story, in the same room, up to this evening, 1155 times. I was never so fortunate as to hear Mr. Mathews, but from what I have heard of him, I should imagine I am no more to be com pared to him than Mr. Waverley Belleville, the light comedian of the Theatre Royal Stoke Pogis, is to the Charles Mathews of our own days. Let me endeavour to suggest to you, then, how tl i I singular success—as astonishing to myself as it is to everybody else—has been obtained. I attribute it to two causes—firstly, to studying your amusement, and, secondly, your comfort, in a practical;straightforward manner. With respect to your amusement, I endeavoured to preserve it from de generating into bore, by keeping it within moderate limits, and fixing the time of commencement at an hour possibly better suited to the habits of 1855 than of a century ago. I put a clock before you that you might be your own timekeepers, and the few minutes of inter val between the parts has been, I am sure I may say, most punctually observed. I hope you will allow me to say, in addition, so anxious was I for this regularity to be observed, that during four years, under every circum stance of health, and spirits, and business, I have never abridged the lecture of an important sentence, nor been half a minute behind my time ; and, above al!, I endea voured to avoid, as much as possible, the cant of in struction.' You came here to be amused—not to he instructed. If (Turin, that amusement you learned a little, so much the better; but it was not forced upon you. In fine, as Fielding observes in the preface to Joseph Andrews son Queen's Harbourmaster, and Flag-tieuts. Turton and Dicken. They were received by Col. Harris, chair man of the company, Mr. Filder, secretary, Mr. White ford, solicitor, and Mr. Power, engineer, who conducted thernacrossthe contractor's dam, round the new graving dock and floating dock, and back to the pier. This visit was occasioned by a communication from the directors, in viting the Government to become owners of a part, or the whole, of this property. The land and docks cost about 250,0001., and an additional 50,000/. is now re quired from the shareholders to complete them. The outer, or tidal basin, covers an area of 30 acres, and the floating dock which abuts on the Royal Marine Blrracks, 13 acres. The position taken by the directors is that by possession of the establishment, the whole western side of which is bounded by Government land, great advan. tagos would accrue to the Government. A short tram road would communicate expeditiously with that import ant establishment, the Royal William Victualling-yard, and ships of war, besides having a dock and pier no :.sr the Sound, could with great facility take in provisions, water, and coal in any weather alongside a wharf which has 30 feet at low water, whereas at the Victualling-ya,:-d there are only 7 or 8 feet ; stores have in consequence to be stowed in lighters, conveyed into the Sound, net removed a second time when alongside the ships. War steamers get their fuel now from hulks in Hamoazo and the Sound by a mode much more laborious and expen sive than from a wharf, especially during. the prevalence of strong winds, and all classes of vessels requiring dock accommodation would be frequently saved the difficult navigation round. Devil's Point and through Tiarnoaze. After perambulating these works and conferring with the officials, their lordships re-embarked on board the Black Eagle, and went into the Sound, where they in spected the Impla ca bl e, 72, Capt. Arthur Lowe, and the apprer.tiees' brig Nautilus, 6, Lieut. Dolling. They wire then conducted over the Breakwater by Capt. Walker, R.N., engineer of works, and, after a close inspection, joined the yacht and left Plyrnotith for Portsmouth. At a court-martial held en Thursday last on board the Impregnable, 120, Rear-Admiral Pluturidge, president, sentence of dismissal from the service was passed en Lieut. E. W. Bridge, for . being found guilty o f drunken ness when on duty on board the steam -vessel 8100..- bound. Lieutenant G. B. Williams, of the Royal William, has been appointed to the command of the I Roodhound. Viia-ifeasn;sirip"Die, 4, Com. - LanL: T. C. Pul:en, with " Nay, I will appeal to common observation, whether ; the same companies are not found more full of good humour and benevolence, after they have been sweetened : for two or three hours with entertainments of this kind, than when soured by a tragedy or a dull lecture.' • "As regards your comfort, permit me to repeat what I toll you last season. There is a larger establishment than this, where the same things are said over and over again every session ; and sometimes, if fght don't carry the point, perseverance The 'black mail,' as . the Examiner rightly termed it, levied on the public after they bad paid their entrance money, in the shape of every mean and inevitable imposition that can be managed at our plaoes of public entertainment, is a dis grace and a shame. I was in hopes that the theatres, especially, would have taken a hint from what I said last year on this point ; but I have been disappointed. FrOm the first I determined upon abolishing everything like fees to attendants. Had I detected one taking anything from anybody he would have been immediately dismissed. I consider, at a place of public entertainment, you are no more called upon to give anything to the person whose business it is to show you to the best availabie seat than you have to the servant who gives you a chair when you call upon a friend. I then thought that offering the programmes might be an excuse for receiving 6d. now and then ; so, to shield you from this chance, I directed that the programmes should be placed upon the seats, so that you might take them up yourselves —as many as you wished for. That this was for your advantage you will see, when I find that since the entertainment com menced nearly 400,000 persons have attended it. Had one-half of these taken bills at a penny each, the profits would have been above 8001. I next set my faee entirely against the extortion—l can give it no milder name —of charging a shilling extra for a place taken beforehand. So much do I hold a contrary opinion that, before this entertainment commenced, I bad some thoughts of making the price of places taken in advance 6d. less than those paid for at the doors, as one occa sionally has a book cheaper by subscribing to it than buying it at a bookseller's ; because a great deal of trouble could be saved, and a room more conveniently arranged for the comfort of an audience, when it was known how many were expected. The box book-keeper was equally your servant as mine, in common with all the other attendants—paid a salary, by me, to be here for your own especial accommodati on. I hope to find myself my old kn apsack, my old blouse, n Thursd a y morning, to ou ld ni, g u w id i e th s, o see what new su o bjects may present themselves for a i n n d m h a y m our future evenings • together ; and I shall return through Paris, staying there as long as I can, that I mly have something to tell you about its exhibition on my return. I have heard, I may mention privately, that with all the splendour of the Palace of Industry. nothin g is equal to the exhibition Brown is making of himself in that capital, and I shall especially watch him. In the pictorial departure I shall as usual have the advan tage of the co-operation of my friend, Mr: William Be verly. And now, anticipating the pleasure of meeting you here again before Christmas, and wishing you d ur - inf. , : the recess all the health and happiness that you rose sibly desire, I very gratefully bid you good bye." DEATH FROSI STABBING, AND VERDICT OF WILFUL MIIRDER.—A few days ags we described a case of stai.)- hing, in whi c h a man name d W i lli am 'Bell,. of Gorton, Lancashire, was killed. About ten in the morning of the let inst. Bell was leaving the Waggon and Horses public-house, when he wa attracted by a crowd of Irish men, one of whom had declared he would stab the first Englishman that came up. A boy named .Artingstall, who had worked at Gorton mill, with two brothers named Heeley, were present, and stated that he saw one of them st a b B e ll repea t e dl y. B e ll was assisted to his home, and died next day from internal limmorrhago, caused by deep stabs. The adjourned inque,t was held on Friday, when no other witness than the boy could sneak to the identity of the Heeley's as using violence to the deceased, but several witnesses had seen a number of Irishmen who appeared anxious to provoke a quarrel, among s t who m were persons resembling the Heeleys. One witness saw the man who threatened to stab any Engiu.thrnanwniitletfaruklteimleuamrdlidelrr from out of his sleeve. The jury found a verdict s against Michael and Patrick ro T o h i e a m tta e c u k hoand Bell, t d i : d absconded mlleede Heeley e l o y f "riot beet= heard of • _ • .• Witliaot Lee was also brought up for judgment. He had pleaded guilty of stealing a pocket-book, containing. 1151. in notes, from the pocket of a gentleman in Ox ford-street, and it was represented that he was a man of means and respectability, and was formerly a merchant at New Orleans. Several witnesses were called, who gave him a high character ; the address they gave for him proved to be false, and no real account could be gleaned of him. After he was remanded, two men went to the address the witnesses bad given as the prisoner's, and asked the person who lived there, to say it was Mr. Lee's residence, and that he was a respectable man, if any one called to inquire, as a Mr. Lee wes in trouble for assaulting a policeman, and had given th - at address, so that his friends should not know of the scrape he had got into. Mr. Bodkin said the inquiries which had been made had a very unfavourable result, both as- regarded the prisoner and his witnesses. They spoke so highly of a person who had been picking pockets in Oiford-street, that it struck him as very singular, and it proved that they had attempted to foist falsehood upon the court, and he bad little doubt that they were not unacquainted with such transactions as had brought the prisoner to that bar. He should have the circumstances placed in the hands of the proper person to see if there would be sufficient evidence to bring a charge of conspiring to hinder the administration of justice home to those parties who had given evidence in the prisoner's favour. The sentence was that the prisoner be kept in penal servi tude fur six years. The Court of Saone-et-Loire a few days ago tried a garde-champetre of Igornay for perjury. He had, it was proved, on the 27th January last, caught two men named Gagnard and Jaoqueneard poaching with guns and dogs. He was obliged to draw up a preces-verbal against them, but when they were prosecuted, he, being desirous of see ing them escape punishment, swore that they had neither dogs mar guns. This was subsequently ascertained to be false. Declared guilty, but with extenuating circumstances; the man was sentenced to a year's imprisonment. The same court subsequently tried an elderly woman named Lagneau for robbery, and three other women, her nieces, for receiving the booty knowing it to be stolen. The prin cipal accused was servant to two old gentlemen of pro perty, M. Acdre and M. Francois Pignot, brothers, of Roussillon. M. Andr6 Pignot had saved up a sum of 18,000f.in specie,'which he kept in a trunk in his bedroom. On ceunting his treasure on the 21st Feb. last, be found to his dismay that five bar, each containing 1,0001., had disappeared. The box had not been broken open, so that it was evident that the robbery had been committed by some one who knew where the key of it was kept. In a day or two the old gentlemen were told by a boy in their service that just before the robbery was disco vered the woman Lagneau had announced to him that there would soon be a great noise in the house, as her masters bed been robbed of 5,0001., and she sent him to tell her three nieces that they must be prepared to have their houses searched. This naturally caused the woman to be suspected, and when she perceived that she was so she was greatly agitated. A search was made in her room and in the houses of the three nieces, but no trace of the money could be discovered. A quantity of other objects, such as sheets, napkins, articles of wearing apparel, bottles of wine, &c., which were recog nised as the property of the Messrs. Pignot, were, how ever, found there. The jury nevertheless acquitted the three nieces ; the elder woman, being convicted; was sent , need to six years' hard labour. The court ef Assizes yesterday tried an elderly man, named Bronzes, and his son, for highway robbery and for men dauehter. It appeared from the evidence that Prouzes, who lived at Montmartre, was on bad terms with his landlord, a person named liver, and he was the loser in some law pi-oceedings which took place be tween them. He accordingly became greatly irritated against Hirer, and vowed vengeance. In the night of the let May, as Hiver was passing along the outer bou levard, he was assailed by three men, who beat him with great brutality, and robbed him of 30fr., but the dark ness of the night prevented him from recognising them. Bronzes subsequently boasted to a neighbour, a little hump backed man named Pereuegre, that ho and his son were two of the men who had committed the assault and robhery, but he would not say who was the third . . Perenegre spoke of this to some other persons, and the two Bronzes heard that he had done so. On the 18th May, after treating him to drink, they asked him to accompany them to new lodgings which they had taken, but he declined. They thereupon shut up his shop, and each taking him by an arm car ried him off to the fields. The poor humpback was too weak to resist, and iu too much fear to cry out. When they had arrived at some distance from the houses they beat him about the head, and the elder man, taking him in his arms, pressed his body with great violence. The poor humpback crawled home as well as he could, and took to his bed. He stated what had occurred, and said that he felt that he had received internal injuries, which would cause his death. Three days later the poor fellow died. On examination of the body, it ap peared that one of his lungs had been dreadfully injured by pressure. The jury declared the two prisoners guilty, and the court sentenced the elder to hard labour for life, the younger to ten years of the same punishment. The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried three men, named Vachon, Xavier Van de Castecle, and Louis Van de Castecle, for swindling. In 1850, Vachon and Xavier Van de Castecle, though without resources, started a company, which they called Le Mincer, for working gold mines in California, and for conveying workmen to that country. They fixed the capital at 1,000,0001., divided into 100,000 f. shares, and all the shares were taken by the public. In a few months it was evident that their enterprise could not possibly succeed, but they carried it on nevertheless, de ce i v i ng th e share holders by false statements. By the statutes of the coal , pany they were bound to have a council of superintendence to watch over the interests of the shareholders, and to re port to them on all the operations of the company ; but this council they compos , ed entirely of their own creatures —men without a farthing, and it made whatever state ments they wished. At length the unfortunate share holders, whose patience and credulity were really , extraor dinary, became convinced thatthey were scandalously de ceived, and they laid a complaint before the officers of justice. From the investigation which was then made it was ascertained, though the men had purposely allowed their accounts to fall into the utmost confusion, that they had received altogether 1,520,700 E ; and that of that sum Xavier Van de Castecle, who had gone to Cali-, fornia on pretence of acting for the company, had em bezzled 423,937 f., and Vachon 405,943 f. In their frauds, Louis Van de Castecle had participated, and not only so, but he cheated Vachen of 4,043 f. in a transac tion which they had jointly concocted for defrauding the shareholders out of a further sum. The Tribunal sen tenced Vachon and )e.vier Van Castecle, the latter by default, to three years' imprisonment and 50f. fine, and Louis Van Castecle to a year's imprisonment and 25f. fin-. T ne Italians, named Martini, Garri, and Canale, were yesterday tried by the Tribunal of Girrectionsl Police for swii.dling. The two former, it appeared, came from England on the 13th of July, and in the steamer made the acquaintance of a young tra•lesman of Rio Janeiro, named Sartory. Arrived in Paris they visited him, and introduced him to Canale. After a while the three men get him to play at cards with them, and cheated him out of 800 fr. in money, his gold watch, four gold chains, and -a diamond pin worth 600 fr. Ile, however, immediately lodged a complaint, and the three swindlers were arrested before they had time to dispose of their booty. The tribunal sen tenced each of them to two years' imprisonment and 50f. fine. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A PROFES- SIONAL MAN. - In The Sun of Saturday we reported the destruction by fire of the naphtha and creosote oil works of Messrs. Booth and Co., of Wolverhampton, occasioning the dea'h of three persons, and serious injuries to about seven others. So soon, on Friday evening, as the fire was sufficiently subdued search was made for the workman who was known to be burnt upon the premises. He was found in the shed through the shattered roof of which he was seen vainly attempting to escape, but, being unable, fell back into the fire. His body was a perfect black cinder—the face and the feet entirely burnt away. The corpse was removed to the Shakspeare Inn to await, with those of the child and the woman, the coroner's inquest. The husband of the latter and father of the former was absent at work in a pit when the catastrophe happened ; and upon his return home his grief at finding himself a widower under such dreadful circumstance , childless, and all his property swept away, was ex tremely painful to witness. He is a young Irishman, of about 23 years of age, a tailor, and formerly resided at Shelton, in the Potteries. His wile was about the same age, and they were well known to be very strongly at tached to each other. Considerable feeling has lately been occasioned at Berkeley by the institution of a prosecution against Mr. John Sampson, surgeon, for uttering counterfeit Bank of England notes, with intent to defraud several parties. No fewer than four charges, three of uttering 51. notes, and the other of uttering a 101. note, have been made against the accused. Prolonged examinations were taken before Mr. Purnell and Majer Weight, two jus tices of the peace acting for the Berkeley petty sessional division, on Wednesday, and Wednesday se'nnight, and the case has been postponed until Tuesday next. In the first. case, Mr. Swan Webster, of the White Hart inn, Berkeley, deposed that on the 231 ult., the prisoner came to his house and asked him to change a 51. note ; he gave him the change, received what ap peared to be a Bank of England note for 51 , and locked it up in a drawer where the only other paper money were notes of the National Pr6vincial Bank. He thought the note a good one, but, in consequence of certain rumours which were afloat, he sent to get it cashed at the bank at Darnley by Mr. W. P. Hudley, a miller, who was informed by the bank clerks that the note was counterfeit. On the day following that on which Web ster received the note back Sampson called on him, and said that he was totally ignorant that the note was bad, and offered to give the money for it and have it back I again. The note was produced last Wednesday, with several other forgeries, and a gentleman named Barn stead connected with the Bank of England proved that it was a forgery. Two other similar charges were pre ferred. When taken to the station, Mr. Sampson pro duced his pocket book, and in it were found five coun terfeit bank notes. The seven persons who were severely but not fatally burnt continue in extreme pain, but are supposed to be beyond danger. Other serious consequences, it is feared, will arise in the cases of several women who are near to the time of their confinement, and who were living so close to the burning premises as to render the removal of their furniture a prudent proceeding. Messrs. Booth and Co,'s works were of comparatively recent erection, but almost the only portion of them that now remains is a tall chimney. The two abutting houses, in which were the iwo other deceased persons, are complete shells. Much property has been destroyed by removal. At the commencement of the confl , gration flames shot up high into the air, aed upon attaining a certain altitude separated themselves from the body of fire below, and descending like waterspouts burnt up everything inflammable upon which they alighted. In this way the linen of several families was deF.ttoyed as it hung out to dry, and the four children of the family of Kent Were thus temporarily blinded and otherwise injured. The defence set up by the prisoner is that he received the notes from a person named Thomas Evans, connected with the betting world, but no such person has yet been found, although the note inspector from the Bank made every inquiry for him at Birmingham, where it was stated he residpd. Throughout the town there is a universal feeling of indignation that works for the manufacture of such com bustible materials as naptha and creosote oil should have been erected so near to dwelling-houses. Ever since their erection they have been most obnoxious to the'neighbourhood, and frequent complaints had been made to the magistrates ; and at certai❑ meetings of the council the matter has been not untrequently referred to. At length the necessary legal preliminary steps had beeo given for obtaining a quarter sessions' inj tine tim for their closing. The application would have been made this week. If the fire was not occasioned by the deceased work man, a short distance from whose body his tobbacco-box was found, it is probable that it originated in a cinder or spark from the fire in the furnace falling into a cask of naptha which stood close by, and into which the pro ducts of distillation from the boiler of tar above the fire were conveyed by a coil of pipes. The ignition caused these pipes to burst, for they were found shattered ; and thus the fire reached the still. The heat increasing, eva poration would at once burst off the top, when the flames would spread in a liquid mass throughout the adjoining premises. The yard contained a quantity of pitch, in a solid and liquid state, besides numerous casks of naptha. Large quantities of the spirit, in casks, lay outside, which, fortunately, were only scorched. On Wednesday .last Mr. Sampson said Evans bad given his address as of the "Cross Keys, Cheapside," and protested his innocence of being aware that the notes wero forged.—Bristol Mercury. [ADVERTI SEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills a certain Cure for pains in the Head and Stomach.—Miss Sarah Har graves, of 3, Hewson-street, Carlisle, states, in a letter to:Prefestior 11,111oway, dated September 10;1853, that she was afflicted fora number of years with severe pains in the head and stomach, dizziness, weakness in the eyes, and the other usual disagreeable accompaniments of a disorganised system. • She tried every known remedy, and had the best medical advice, but derived no benefit whatever. At last she resolved to give Holloway's pills a trial, and, after using them for a short time, she was restored to perfect health, which she enjoys uninter ruptedly to the present time.—Sold by all druggist., and at Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand, ,London, and , SO, liaiden• lane, New-Yorke . _ _ SPANISH FINANCES.— A letter of the 10th says : " The reorganisation of the moderado party continues to be spoken of, but it encounters difficulties, owing to the reluctance of Count de San Luis and his partisans to effect a fusion with certain persons. Queen Christina is said to be anxious that the party should take upon itself the responsibility of the acts of the Government previous to the revolution of July. Notwithstanding the assertions in foreign newspapers, the greatest cordia lity prevails between Generals Espartero and O'Donnell. The financial situation is improving, and a return in the Gazette shows that 137,710,620 reels of the loan of 230,000,000 have been voluntarily subscribed (the real is worth five sous). Some provinces have subscribed almost all that was required from them ; those of Barcelona, Gerona, Leon, Madrid, Seville, and Tarragona are in this category. No amount was fixed for Biscay and Navarre, but the former has subscribed 1,000,000 and the latter more than 2,000,000 reels. A Carlist band of nine men, which appeared in the vicinity of the royal residence of San Fernando a few days ago, was attacked by the civil guard, and four of them were killed, three wounded, and three escaped by jumping into the Tagus." THE COMMISSARIAT, &C., IN THE CRIMEA.— The Mi nister for War has appointed Captain H. W. Gordon, un• attached, to be Ordnance storekeeper to the army in the Crimea. Acting Deputy Assistant Commissary-General Slade is attached to the Hussar Brigade of the cavalry division, vice Deputy Assistant Commissary-General Sutherland, appoint,d to another duty. Medical boards have been ordered to inquire into the state of health of Temporary Commissariat Clerk, B. Courtney, and As sistant-Storekeeper Reynolds. A letter from Malta, dated September 5, mentions that the Alps, steam transport, from London, arrived there on the 30th of August, bring Deputy Commissary - General Smith and family for Constantinople, Assistant Commissary • General Archer, Messrs. Laveridge, Lloyd, Mothersall, and Waldeck. The Adelaide steam transport left for ailaklava on the 30th, conveying Deputy Assistant Commissaries Gem ral Waldron and Pester, and 50 clerks for the Turkish contingent.—Civil Service Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT TO AN OFFICER.—On Sun day week, just after the troops had left the chereh in Templeinore barracks, one of the officers, Mr. Clarke, of the 47th Regiment, was looking at a tine stag, which has been kept in the square for some years, when the animal quite suddenly bounded at him, and before be could avoid him struck him to the ground with his antlers, which were of great size. Mr. Clarke, who is a powerful young man, endeavoured to turn the animal's head and held him, but he had him pinned so firmly to the ground it was impossible to do so. The struggle was fearful, and might have ended disastrously, only some officers ran up and succeeded, at great personal risk to themselves, in extricating Mr. Clarke, who has received a most severe jagged wound in the thigh, se vere contusion in the breast, and bruises. Colonel Townsend immediately ordered the animal to be killed. Much anxiety was manifested for Mr. Clarke, who is a general favourite, not only in the large garrison of Tem plemore, but with all others why 'lave had the pleasure of his qcquaintanca.

Upon the recommenda tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta, Arabica, which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate change for the better in the symptoms. After the first few meals she felt less miserable, and in six days the diarrhcea and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, and I consider I am only discharging a most sacral duty in recommending it to all sufferers.—S. ZEGUER.S.

MANSION-FIOUSE.—Li cloth dealer, named Lip, man, was charged with having assaulted Mr. Krischio• lowski in the Jeri market in Houndeditch. The complainant said—The defendant wished to sell me a coat, and as it did not suit me I refused to pur chase it, and he then hit me on the side of the head, and I fell down senseless. Alderman Wire--Did you give him no provocation but the refusal ? Complainant—Not the least. Alderman Wire—Did you not spit in his face ? It is said you did. Co - mplainant—No. I did spit, but not in his face. Defendant—Right in my teeth, my lord. (Laughter.) It is well it wasn't in my eyes. Alderman Wire—ls there any evidence to prove that Mr. Krischiolowski gave ttis filthy offence ? Barnet Castra—l was in the market, and I saw the complainant spit right in •Mr. Lipman's face. We all considered it very ungentlomanlike. (Laughter.) Mr. Lipman did raise his hand when he found what it was that he got. The defendant—l assure your lordship it's a common trick with him. He thinks nothing of spitting bang in any one's teeth. He's a Dutchman, and he likes to do it. (A. laugh.) Mr. M. Samuel—l am moneytaker at the Clothes Ex change, and I was in the Mart at the time. I heard a noise, and I turned round and saw the complainant in the act of spitting, but I didn't know in whose face he was spitting. (Great laughter.) I was told afterwards by the complainant that defendant had struck him, and I told him if I had seen him spit in any one's face I would have turned him out of the market myself. Several dealers said it was the constant practice of the complainant sometimes to make a spittoon and some times a pocket handerehief of a man's face, and very few gentlemen could stand it. Alderman Wire said the defendant must give bail for his good behaviour for six months, as he had violently struck a man old enough to be his father, and advised the complainant to get rid of the filthy habit which had been so vividly described by the witnesses, and which, however it might be sanctioned by some foreigners, as far as regarded our carpets, would never be counte nanced by Englishmen. kLaughter.) William Green was brought before Alderman Wire, charged with having accused himself of robbing his em ployer of 1/. 12s. 6d. in Dover. The policeman—He came up to me and said he had committed the robbery, and deserved to be punished. The defendant—The truth is, my lord, I no more robbed any body than I robbed you, but I bad no place to go to, and as I believed the night would be wet, I was determined to get a lodging, and I succeeded. Alderman Wire said, if defendant had gone to the workhouse he would have been accommodated, and dis charged him with the caution never to tell a lie with the object of getting a bed again. 130 W STREET. —James Georg; a well-dressed youth of 18, who gave a false address, was charge .1 with steal ing a handsome gold watch and chain, the property of Mr. Chahata Issa, an Egyptian engineer. The prosecutor was at the box entrance of the Ly ceum Theatre a few nights ago, when the prisoner, who had taken up his station within the lobby, joined in the general rush which took place on the opening of the doors. Suddenly Mr. Issa felt a tug at his fob, and at the same moment t , aw his valuable chronometer in the hands of the prisoner, lie seized the rascal by the throat, and held him, half suffocated, until he dropped the watch to the ground, having previously contrived to detach it; from the chain by wrenching the ring in two. The prisoner was committed for trial. The prosecutor—" Give me nay watch, me no be bo thered in dis way. Me no appear again. I have wasted mush time since alrea:ly, and I caste no more unless you pay to me a guinea for every hour." The worthy foreigner was assured that he would not be detained. long at the Old Bailey. .
