His Honour adjourned the examination accordingly. A question arose relative to the bankrupt's allowance, which bad been withheld by the official assignee in con sequence of the bankrupt having spent 1601., which he was unable to account for a short time before his bank ruptcy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. POCKET PICKING.—John Laley, a lad about 15 years of age, was placed at the bar before Alderman Salomons, charged with pocket picking. Police-constable 490 deposed that last evening about a quarter to 8 o'clock, he saw the prisoner run up the steps by London-bridge after a gentleman, put his hand into his pocket, and make off. Witness pursued him into Fish-street, when the prisoner ran into King's Head court. Witness ran round another way and caught him in Pudding-lane. On apprehending him, he found two silk pocket handkerchiefs in his pocket. The prisoner said he purchased the handkerchiefs, as he was going out of town. He was committed to the House of Correction for six weeks. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—DanieI Collins, a young man, 21 years of age, was charged with attempting self destruction. Police Constable 580 deposed that about 1 o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner on the other Hide of the parapet of London-bridge. Ho got over and caught hold of him just as he was about to throw himself off into the water. The prisoner, who was in a frightful state of intoxication at the time, was potman at the Cardinal Wolsey, Tooley-street. _ _ _ The prisoner's master stated the prisoner had lived with him on two occasions. Ha had to discharge him on the first for intoxication. He the took the pledge and had only been in his service the second time about a fort night. The prisoner was committed for seven days. SHOPLIFTING.—The three females named Sullivan, Hart, Miner, and Wm. Murray, remanded last week charged with shoplifting (the particulars of which were reported in The kun at the time) were committed for trial. Mr. Yardley—To whom did you apply ? Applicant—Mr. Stevens, the Inspector of Nuisance s for the Stepney Union. Magistrate—Well, what did he say to your complaint? Applicant—He told me that he could not interfere. Magistrate—Ob, nonsense ! he must see to it at once. Let one of the officers wait upon Mr. Stevens, who must enforce the Act of Parliament for the removal of he nuisance. Applicant—The stench from the place is overpower ing and sickening, and if not checked will spread disease round the whole district where the cholera has raged very violently. Mr. Stevens, the inspector of nuisances, here entered the court, and in answer to Mr, Yardley, he said that the guardians had taken up the matter, but there was a difficulty in the case. The Board of Health had been applied to, and the police authorities of the district were about to prosecute the proprietors of the premises. The parish officer had done all he could to abate the nui sance, but their power was overruled. Inspector Smith, of the K division, said the commis sioners of police at Scotland•yard had given directions for the prosecution of the parties. Mr. Yardley—l am glad to hear it. Let no time be lost. Mr. Stevens is an old officer, and bas always done his duty. The applicant then retired, and thanked the magis trate for his kind interference. LYCEUM THEATRE. Last night the world-renowned Wizard of the North opened his magnificent salle at this theatre. On the rising of the curtain the stage presented one of the most brilliant scenes ever witnessed. On either aids was dis played the silver apparatus of the mighty Wizard, and nothing of the kind could well be more splendid. On the appearance of Professor Anderson he was most enthusiastically received, and the warmth of the re ception seemed to make a deep impression on him. After gracefully thanking the audience for their kind ness, he commenced his extraordinary series of " Ddas semens Magiques, or Marvels in Modern Magic." To describe the different tricks and changes would indeed be a task—in fact, it would be an attempt to describe the indescribable; and, therefore, from such we trust our readers will excuse us. Among the many new and extraordinary tricks, none caused more astonishment than the " New Calculating Machine," which continually proved that two fours made twelve !—and the Inexhausti ble Bottle, from which the Wizard poured upwards of 100 glasses of different liquids, such as brandy, gin, rum, whisky (Scotch and Irish) port, sherry, liquors of every description ; champagne, soda water, Epsom salts, castor oil, butter-milk, indeed everything that was asked for, and a great deal more. In the second part of the enter tainment, the most curious portion was the "Half-hour with the Spirits," in the course of which the professor denounced the table-rapping device, which has been so successfully foisted upon the American public. He stated that table-rapping was nothing in the world but an ingenious piece of jugglery. To illustrate his state ment he caused glass bells, with hammer attached to to them externally, to be suspended by cords over the pit, and although swinging backward and forward sounded at command. A table was then placed in the centre of the theatre and the same result followed. The applause that followed this portion of the entertainment was most enthusiastic. Several other tricks followed, and the entertainment concluded shortly before eleven. The theatre was crowded to suffocation, standing-room being at a premium long before the rising of the curtain. BOW-STREET. Emily Legg was this morning again placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting Leah Livingstone. It will be remembered that the unfortunate child, Leah Levingstone, was on Saturday week playing in the kitchen of a house in St. Martin's-lane, and having done something which displeased the prisoner, she being a servant to its parents, she seized a common kitchen fork and drove' it into the child's eye. The prisoner had been remanded from Alonday last until to-day, in the hope that the unfortunate child would be in attendance to give evidence against the prisoner, but s'ich was not the case. The mother of the child produced the following certi ficate : 44 Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital, Charing-cross. " The inflammation in the left eye of Leah Living stone is subdued. At present she can merely distin guish light from darkness. Some improvement may take place, but the natural vision of the organ is for life destroyed. (Signed) " Sept. 3, 1854." Mr. Jardine asked when it was thought that the child would be able to attend Mrs. Livingstone stated that she thought about Satur day next the child would be sufficiently recovered to attend. Mr. Jardine—Well, I shall remand the prisoner till that day. Let her be brought up again on Saturday next. The prisoner hero again denied the charge, and stated that she only struck the child with the handle of the fork. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. " EVANS BEST, Liouve-Sargeon. CLERKEN WELL. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.— William, Greig, aged 22, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with assaulting Mrs. Margaret Bateman, a cripple. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who is the son-in-law of the complainant, went to her resi dence, 14, Clarendon-street, Somers-town, yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, and asked if his wife was there. The complainant stated that she was not there—that she had taken her child to the doctor, he having shook the child and made it very ill ; and that he was a great brute, and if anything happ ened he would be pu n ished for it. When she was about closing the door the pri soner, who has several times ill-used her before, pushed her against the wall with great violence, and struck her on the mouth, and caused her a great loss of blood. He had cruelly ill-treated her daughter, whom she, a poor needlewoman, and a cripple, was compelled partially to support, and the only money he had given her was the small sum of 2s. 6d. since the commencement of last July. He called her several beastly names, and having pushed her with great violence against the wall, ran up into her room. When the policeman was called he found the prisoner in a fighting attitude, and very violent. The prisoner said that it was all false. Mr. Tyrrwhitt, after commenting in very feeling terms upon the conduct of the prisoner, said that, in striking hie mother-in-law, he only showed his brutal propen sities, and to mark his senso of his conduct, he should fine him 405., or two months hard labour in the House of Correction. The prisoner was locked up. THAMES. ALARMING NUISANCE AT LIbIRIiODSE. George Wiggins, a mechanic residing at Temple Cottage, North street, Limehouse, made an application to Mr. Yardley, the magistrate, this poring for a summons against Mr. Drimsdale, a patent manure manufacturer, carrying on business at Carr-street, Limehouse, for causing an alarming nuisance in the district to the annoyance of the inhabitants, who were in a state of ill-health and great alarm through the poisonous effluvia emitted from the premises in question. 1 Mr. Yardley—You should make application to the district surveyor, or to the Inspector of Nuisancee. I .14-pplics*-4 107 0 1 air_ 1141 i 2i I THE BATTLE OF THE TCHERNAYA. We extract the following thrilling description of the retreat of the Russians on the 16th, from a letter just received in Paris : "The victory of the 16th is much more important than was at first supposed. The Russians have not less than 8,500 hors de combat. They left 3,000 dead on the field. We have transported 1,686 wounded in our am bulances, and have made, besides, more than 600 unhurt prisoners. I do not know the number of killed and wounded that have remained in the hands of the Sar dinians, but they are said to be considerable. Our loss is now ascertained correctly; we have 1,250, 87 of whom are officers, hors de combat, and the Sardinians have, it is said, not more than from 300 to 400. "At 2 a.m. the Russians, taken in flank, and cut to pieces by our field artillery, which General Lebeuf had placed at a short distance from the bridges established by the Russians on the Tchernaya, were in full retreat, still galled by our artillery and by the rolling fire of musketry and the Zouaves. The scene at that moment was one of awful confusion. It was in vain that the Russian Gbnerala made the most desperate attempts to stay and rally the thousands who were wildly flying ; the Russ:an soldiers, panic-stricken, under the influ ence of terror, opened for themselves a passage through the battalions, decimated and falling by hun dreds under the fire of two batteries of the Imperial Guard, and two English batteries established on the heights which command Tchorgoun. The bridge, which was far too narrow for the heavy compact mass which rushed to it, became the scene of the most frightful con fusion. The cavalry, equally terrified, spurred their horses into the very midst of the wretched fugitives, and trampled them under foot, without regard to the dying and mutilated, who lay in heaps under them. The waters of the Tchernaya, red with gore, bore along a crowd of carcases. Rafts had been hastily put together to facili tate the retreat of the Russians. Our men profited by them, and dashed along in pursuit of the flying foe. It was then that a considerable number of prisoners was made ; and up to this moment I have counted 1,800. Over an extent of eight kilometres the ground was strewn with dead bodies, with the mutilated and the dying." The following is an extract from a private letter from an officer of the Zouaves " Before Sebastopol, Aug. 21. " The Russians are preparing to attack us again ; the affair of the 16th has not satisfied them. Be it so ; we will try to satisfy them this time. In the meantime we have received orders to leave head-quarters at two o'clock, and march to the Chersonese plateau, near the telegraph which commands the plain of the Tcher naya. The whole of the guard is thus united and massed behind the division of General Bosquet, ready to carry succour to the lines of the Tchernaya ; indeed, we have only to descend the hill by the Woronzoff road. From our position we enjoy a mag nificent view—on the right Balaklava and the Genoese forts ; from right to left the plain of Balaklava and the Tchernaya, which flows winding along at our feet ; to the left the Woronzofl road and the valley of the Baidar which we see through many mountain gorges. I re turned this morning from the careening trenches near the aqueduct. You may see that we enjoy very little rest. Our works are terminated, or very nearly so. A little patience yet awhile, and we shall arrive at our object. Our men, whose health is excellent, have always the sine impulsive spirit, and the same devotedness, and a man ought to be proud to command such soldiers." General Count Benkendorff, Russian Military Pleni potentiary at Berlin, visited the head• quarters of the King of Prussia at Grossbeuthen on the 30th ult., and, after witnessing the last manoeuvres of the Guards, set out for Dresden. A monster bell is about to be hung in a wooden tower, 40 ft high, close to the police-station in the Southampton deck, to sound an alarm in case of fire breaking out amongst the shipping or warehouses in the docks. The bell will weigh 5 owt. ATTENDANCE AT THE JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—The days fixed for the attendance of Mr. Justice Willes at cham bers are Tuesday and Friday in each week until the ter mination of the vacation. DOVER CASTLE.—At the end of the present month, under the act of Parliament, Dover Castle will be closed as a prison for debtors, when those who are in custody will be removed to Maidstone County Gaol. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 3.—The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Tyne, Captain Valier, sailed this afternoon with the West India, Mexican, and Pacific mails, 105 passengers, 1,030/. in specie, 5001. value jewellery, and a full general cargo. The Atrato, Captain Woolley, with the homeward portion of the above mails is hourly expected. The non-arrival of this vessel is supposed to be occasionei by the present state of the company's service in the West Indies. The Nord, which sometimes publishes some surprising statements, says that "Napoleon and Lord Palmerston have promised the King of Mardinia to add Tuscany, with the Duchies of Modena and Parma to his do minions." RETURN OF MR. AND MRS. C. H. BRACEBRIDGE FROM THE EAST.—ATHERSTONE, Monday.—On its becoming Mrs.known that Mr. and Bracebridge were about to return from their benevolent mission in the East, the in habitants of this town determined, in acknowledgment of their devoted. services, to give them a hearty public welcome to their home at Atherstone-hall. At the head of this movement were Earl Howe, Sir G. Chetwynd, Mr. Dugdale, late M.P. for Warwickshire, Mr. Adder ley, M.P., Sir John Chetwode, Mr. Baxter, and most of the leading gentry. This day was, consequently observed as a perfect holyday in the town and district. On the arrival of the train, Mr. and Mrs. Bracebridge were loudly cheered by the crowds assembled to meet, them, and when they had taken their seats in the carriage pre pared for their reception, a procession was formed, which passed through the town under triumphal arches festooned with evergreens, and inscribed with various appropriate mottoes. DINNER TO SIR J. FERGUSSON, BART., M.P.—This gentleman, so recently returned from the Crimea, was entertained at a public dinner, in the King's Arms, Maybole, on Wednesday last. About 140 tenantry and others sat at table. Several gentlemen from a distance were present. John M'Clymont, Esq., Balsaggart, oc cupied the chair, and William Kennedy, Esq., Kilhen" zie, acted as croupier. After the table had been cleared, and the usual loyal toasts disposed of, the .Chairman gave the health of the guest of the evening in a short but appropriate speech, which was enthunastically re [ !piaci to. LITERATURE. Memoirs of Lieutenant Joseph Beng Bellot. 2 Vols. Hurst and Blackett. An anonymous biographer has undertaken to celebrate in a brief but sufficient memorial the career of that gallant French sailor whose life was unfortunately sacrificed in the vain but chivalrous endeavour to carry succour to the missing Arctic Navigators. Prematurely though that career was closed, it was nevertheless one so remarkable of its kind as to deserve some more than ordinary com memoration. This more than ordinary commemo ration it has obtained in the two volumes here sub mitted to our notice—volumes comprising, besides the anonymous memoiralready alluded to, the whole of the singularly interesting journals written by Lieutenant Bellot himself during the course of his voyage made in the Polar Seas in search of Sir J. Franklin and his ill-fated companions. These jour nals, beginning on the 22d of May, 1851, and ex tending to the Bth of September, 1852, embracing an interval of very nearly sixteen months of ro mantic and sometimes perilous adventure ' are fol lowed towards the close of the second volume by a variety of illustrative notes and other documents, these again, being in their turn succeeded by a number of curious particulars relating to the famous Bellot Testimonial. As an appropriate frontispiece to the work, we have an engraving by Chas. Colli n from an original drawing by Jobbe Duval, por traying the face and figure of Joseph Rene Bellot, the brave and the good, as he must have appeared at the period when his noble life was upon the eve of its premature termination. The capacious and massive forehead, the gentle and observant eyes, the calm courage expressed by lip and nostril, every line, every lineament of the young mariner's countenance appears to us strangely and strikingly characteristic. Having mused for a while over this effigy of his features so as to become familiarised with their general expression, and in this manner to have acquired as it were a personal acquaintance with the aspect of the man as he was in life, as he breathed and moved among his fellows—we turn with increased interest to an examination of the bio graphic sketch of his history prefixed to the journals in which he himself has graphically and vigorously preserved to zemembrance the principal incidents of that daring and generous enterprise which will be his passport to the notice and admiration of pos terity. Although Joseph Ren6 Bellot—the son of a plain artisan, a smith and farrier—was born at Paris, he regarded as his native city, by adoption, the less important locality of the seaport of Roche fort. Rochefort was throughout his life viewed by him with grateful affection, as the spot in which he had acquired a partly gratuitous education, and by the aid of the munificent municipality of which he was enabled, at an early age, to enter upon the honourable and gallant profession in which he very rapidly acquired for himself peculiar distinction, if death snatched from him the opportunity of any very notable promotion. Bellot's life, beginning on the 18th of March, 1826, closed at the early age of 27 years and 5 months, on the 18th of Au gust, 1853, when he mysteriously disappeared on the edge of a vast crack or fissure in a hummock of ice, into which it was presumed he had been blown by the heavy wind then prevailing, his comrades at the time —(a couple of sailors named David Hook and William Johnson) — having found his stick lying on the verge of this great aperture in the hummock, their shouts for the owner, "Mr. Bellot ! Mr. Bellot !" remaining unanswered. That is the last we hear of him—the last! Johnson, in his simple and manly record of the ca tastrophe, tells us that almost immediately before Lieutenant Bellot disappeared down this fissure in the ice, he had been talking with him and his other companion about the danger of their posi tion, and that when one of them remarked that the American Expedition had been drawn up and down this very channel, the Wellington Channel, Bellot replied—" I know they were ' • and when the Lord protects us, not a hair of our heads shall be touched." A few seconds afterwards, it being then about a quarter past eight a.m. on Thursday, the 18th of August, 1853, Bellot having remarked, after lashing up his books, that he would go and see how the ice was driving, Johnson fol lowed him four minutes later round the angle of the hummock, at the corner of which he had last been observed. Within that brief interval the noble-hearted tar had vanished ; and his place was uo more known amongst his fellows ! His remains were never recovered. His memory alone was left; but that memory will long be kept green in the popular heart, both of France and England. A memorial obelisk of Aberdeen granite rising to the height of 34 feet, and inscribed with the name of BELLOT, and erected after the design of Mr. Hardwick, R.A., is to commemorate henceforth the career of the French sailor, in a conspicuous position on the banks of the Thames at Greenwich. Viewed from the river this interesting monument will have the fountain of the western esplanade or green in the background, and above that on the hill the famous Observatory. It is a historical spot to have selected, a site, observes the editor of these volumes, upon which " no English officer— not even Nelson—has had a similar mark of respect paid him," that of a monument raised in his honour on the exterior of the great Hospital, the Sailor's Palace at Greenwich. Bellot deserved some peculiar recognition like this, and his memory , has secured it amidst an universal feeling of sa tisfaction. He will be remembered by posterity, as he was appreciated by his contemporaries. "In promise," says Colonel Sabine, I have rarely seen his equal, and never his superior." Sir Roderick Murchison has spoken of him affection ately as his valued young friend," and admiringly as " the good and intrepid Bellot." "Ma foi, Monsieur," exclaimed the vivacious Jules Janin, running up to the young officer in the May of 1851, when they accidentally encountered each I other, at the time of the Universal Exhibition : "Ma foi, Monsieur, I had a great wish to know you ; you are a brave man ; allow me to clasp your hand—" the impulsive tueilletonist, adding afterwards when he related the incident, " I loved him at once, the charming lad, whom I saw but for two or three hours." Others have spoken of him no less earnestly in the language of unaffected ad miration. M. Chasseriau, on the 16th of October, 1853, through an article in the M oniteur. M. de la Roquette, in the memoir written by him in the latter part of tho same year, that " re markable memoir," says Bellot's anonymous bio grapher, in which the memorialist has " worthily appreciated the seaman, the voyager, and the stu dious geographer." Captain Ro wain Desfosses (under whom ho served) spoke of him as a " dis tinguished eleve "—" good for everything, and full of ardour to do everything ; superior in all points to his position." Remember, for a moment, what that position was : Bellot was the son, as we have remarked, of a simple artisan—a smith or farrier of Rochefort. His intelligence as a child induced the municipality of that seaport to obtain for him, at the instance of the mayor, a demiburse at the Col lege at Rochefort. At the age of little more than seventeen he has fairly embarked in his profession. He moves successively into the Borda, into the Suffren, into the Friedland. He makes his first cruise on board the cor vette Berceau. He quits France for the first time in this way, as an eleve de marine, on the 23d of June, 1844. Before twenty, he is, by the Ist of November, 1845, an eleve of the first class, and, by the second of December following, is named Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. A little later we find him no longer in the corvette Berceau, but, with the ribbon of the Great Order at his button-hole, on board the frigate Belle Poule. On the 15th of November, 1847, he is promoted to the rank of enseigne de vaisseau. As such he is in the Pandore, and, as such, a little later, he sets sail on the 23d of July, 1848, for La Plata and Oceania on board the corvette Triom phante. By the 25th of August, 1850, he is back again at Rochefort. Then followed that voyage to the Polar Seas which needs not here to be particu larised. It is vividly within the general recol lection. It is the source of all our interest in Bellot. It is as much, as directly, as indisputably the secret of his fame, as it was the cause of his dissolution. Thus lived and died, for others more than for himself, in the service of his country, in the interests of humanity, beloved, respected, and admired by all with whom he came in contact, Joseph Rene Bellot—a self-made man, son of a farrier of .Rochefort, officer of the Imperial navy of France, chevalier of the Legion of Napoleon, one to whose memory England, in gratitude not less than in admiration, resolved to raise an obelisk in granite upon the banks ol e t p h i e ta, T i h u a n ni der , upon the esplanade of Greenwich Re the shadow of the Greenwich Observatory. membering his brief and chivalrous lirfeern, cially hearing in recollection hisksp upon these heroic death, close we our rawer a b t u u t r s e sapned v t ibutive aspiration— volumes of his Memoirs an earnest sentence by d Journals, with one f the young French Hthoeno:arinede, hanendceftohrtelZfaabtay:faellr English hearts, be Naval Lieutenant ! . should Embassies and Foreign, Courts : a _History of Bi p i o.

As to the pur pose of " The Roving Englishman," in this the latest of his literary ventures, let us hear what he himself has to say, almost by way of apology, cer tainly by way of extenuation "In our own day, Lord Brougham has surely never been held a foe to the laws, because be has passed so many years of his valuable career in ably advocating legal reforms. Dickens has never been censured as a jail-bird or a ragamuffin for having popularly exposed the mazy horror of a chancery suit, and drawn the im mortal characters of Dodson and Fogg, or Brass, of Bevis Marks. Neither is it to be inferred that he, one of the greatest and kindliest public teachers England has ever known, desires to ridicule the institutions of mar riage and will-making, because he laughs with such ini mitable grace at the Commons in David Copperfield,' or describes the true startling sadness of a poor man's sullied hearth in Hard Times.' One may be sincerely pious, yet repudiate the doctrines of the Mormons, the Jumpers, and the fuddled tenets of the inspired cobbler who improved an occasion last week on Kennington Common. Mr. Layard may be an ardent reformer, without going so far as that high-born Mr. Bligh, whom the papers informed us lay on his stomach and harangued the crowd during the recent disturbances in Hyde Park. May I not, therefore, be allowed to point out abuses to the full as bad as those which the strong hand of glori ous Brougham pulled happily down, or those which the pleasant pen of Dickens is daily fretting so perseveringly away 1" Abuses, he means, of course—and they are abun, dant enough, Heaven knows—in our blundering old system of word-catching, hair-splitting diplo macy. So far as this laudable purpose of his is concerned, we have but eulogiums for " The Rov ing Englishman." It is for inasmuch as he fritters away that earnest and commendable purpose, by allowing his style to degenerate into that of the mere idle; discursive, slovenly; gossipping book maker, that our author appears to us to deserve little else than reprehension. As rapidly as he has gained his present popularity, so rapidly will he lose it—unless he evince by his after writings greater interest in preserving a reputation as sparkling as it threatens now to be evanescent. CHINESE MODE OF TREATING CHOLERA A Chinese missionary writes to the Civilta Cattelica, of July 12 : " One morning, after having said mass, I felt symp toms of cholera. I had a difficulty of breathing amount ing almost to suffocation. A cold so intense took pos session of my arms and legs that I could not feel a hot iron applied to them. Just then a Chinese Christian came in to see me, and as soon as he looked at me, he said, Father, you have the cholera.' To be certain, however, he looked under my tongue, and observing the peculiar blackness of the veins there, he remarked that unless I applied a remedy speedily I would not live until night. I told him to do what he could for me. He took an ordinary pin, and began pricking me under the tongue until he drew out from ten to twenty jet black drops of blood. Then, after rubbing my arms gently, he tied a string very tightly about each one of my fingers, and pricked each one on the outside at the root of the nails until he brought a drop or two of the same kind of blood from each. Then, to see whether the operation had been successful or not, he pricked me with the same in the arm, very near the vein that is usually opened in blood letting, and seeing no blood issue he pronounced it satisfactory. I still felt, however, a fearful oppression of the lungs. To relieve this, he run the pin obliquely into the pit of my stomach about two-thirds of its length. (This operation the Chinese call opening the mouth of the heart.) Not a drop of blood came out here, but in a moment I felt myself entirely relieved, my blood began its circulation, my natural warmth returned, and, after an hour of slight fever, I went about my avocations. This is the ordinary Chinese remedy. I have known it to be applied to five of our fathers in cholera, and it failed only once." HOLYHEAD HARBOUR WORKS.—The new harbour works at Holyhead were inspected on Wednesday by Sir Charles Wood, Mr. Rendell, C.E., and several other gentlemen, all of whom expressed themselves much pleased with the rapid progress the contractors are making in carrying out the Admiralty plans. KENSINGTON GARDENS.—In consequence of the state of the weather on Sunday, there being a cold north wind and threatening of rain, the numbers in these Gardens were not so great as during the warmth of the previous Sunday. The band commenced as usual at five, but dis continued playing at half-past five when the rain com menced, and the great concourse of people took shelter under the trees. After the shower had passed off the crowd dispersed to various parts of the gardens. Not withstanding the inclemency of the weather the number of persons was very great, viz., 48,841. THE MURDER AT CUDHAM.—BROMLEY, Monday even ing.—Some clue to the perpetration of this diabolical murder has been obtained ; the police are on the mur derer's track, and there is every probability that within 48 hours he will be in the hands of justice. It has already , been stated in the reports which have appeared that after committing the murder the murderer robbed the house of some clothes, and these having been offered for sale have put the police in possession of the important information which it may be reasonably supposed will lead to his speedy apprehension. FATAL ACCIDENT ON A RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morn ing, the body of a man named Harrison was found at a place called Dog-lane, on the Manchester and Sheffield Railway, near the Guide Bridge station. He is sup posed to have been crushed to death between the buffers of some waggons belonging to a London and North- Western train, which had been shunted there a short time before the body was found by one of the railway servants. The unfortunate man was recognised as a resident in the neighbourhood, but it is not known what business had brought him on the line at the place where he was killed. THE BOURNEMOUTH SANITARIUM.—A short time since an amateur theatrical performance in aid of this charity was held at Colonel Waugh's residence, Carnpden-house, Kensington. Colonel Waugh has followed up his gene rosity upon that occasion by holding a grand bazaar at his marine residence, Brantisea-castle, Poole, which commenced on Wednesday and terminated on Saturday last. The bazaar was of the most extensive nature, and the arrangements for the public accommodation com plete. It was announced that 1,0001. had been given by one person, and 5001. offered by another if the same RUM could be raised. Independent of these sums, be tween 5001 and OM were realised at the bazaar. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A QUAKERESS.—Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for East Sur rey, held a lengthened inquiry at the Queen Tavern, Commercial-road, Peckham, respecting the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Mary Anne Aylesbury, a member of the Society of Friends, who destroyed her life by swallowing arsenic. Mr. Thomas Joseph Green, surgeon, of Ivy Cottage, Peckham, said that on Friday afternoon last he was called in to see the deceased. He found her sitting on the bed, apparently in great pain. Having heard that she had taken poison, he asked her why she had done so, and she replied that " the devil had tempted her .to take it." Witness gave her an emetic, but at half-past two o'clock the neat morning she expired. Verdict--Temporary insanity. It is well known (says the Liropool Albion), that the steamer Europa took on board at this port, the other c d o a n y s ' i a d e l r a a r li g l e e number barked some troops and officers ; and that she was ex pected ant it y n fof hutsl3. inch that,sh e o l n l, t F o r g i e d t a h y 7 she with em a . order was received from head-quarters that she was to to sail for her destination on Sa in tu h rd e a r y . .

Some time this month a new screw-steamer, to be called the Boristhene, will be launched from Mr. Laird's yard, in Liverpool, for the French Messageries 'tripe riale, and immediately afterwards a sister vessel, called the Meandre, will he launched for the same company. These vessels are of 1,300 tons register, and 220 horse power ; built with very fine lines to obtain high speed, with comparatively small power. The company com menced operations by . the purchase of the Lusitania and Braziliera, then forming part of the line from Liverpool to the Brazils, the names of which were changed, the ILusitania being called the Hydaspes, and the Braziliers. transferred to the Simois.
