'~:~;,;, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1855. Russia has had deep cause to deplore the " cleverness" of Prince GORTSCILIKOPF at the Vienna Conferences. Under different circum stances the unscrupulous audacity displayed by the diplomatist would have been highly applauded, his contemptuous disregard of the terms pre viously accepted as the bases of negotiation, re warded as au instance of unbending firmness, and his attempt to advance the avowed object of his Master, and to carry out "the traditional policy of Russia by the opening of the Bosphorus, as an instance of extraordinary tact and judgment. But unfortunately, like many over cunning people, be defeated himself, and forfeited the chance of obtaining peace on far more favourable terms than lie had any right to anticipate. Having made the German Powers safe—Prussia being an avowed partisan, and Austria, although covertly, equally at his " beck and call"—having also bamboozl3d the representatives of the Western Powers—he thought he had the game in his own hands, and could carry matters with a high hand. But for once he " reckoned without his host." The EMPEROR and people of France, and a aportion of the English Cabinet, and an over whelming majority of all ranks and classes in the United Kingdom, refused to permit themselves to be stultified, or to become Muscovite tools. His ingenious devices, therefore, recoiled against him self. Like SHAKSPERE'S Engineer; he was " hoist with his own petard ;" and he succeeded in de feating any prospect of the restoration of peace, save on terms far more onerous and distasteful to Russia, than those which had previously been so contumeliously rejected. Since that time the CZAR has received many bitter, but salutary lessons. He finds that, notwithstanding all his exertions, he cannot drive the` Allied forces from their position before Sebas topol ; that his own army is already enduring great privations, and that the "Russian supremacy in the Black Sea" will ere long be terminated in a far more decided manner than it could have been by any stipulations ; that he is likely to lose not merely his stronghold and fleet, but the Crimea itself ; and that possibly, should the War be pro tracted for another year, lie may have to deplore something more than the destruction of stores and the stoppage of commerce in the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic. Like the " old maiden of fifty three," he at length recognises the melancholy fact, that it would have been far better if he had accepted some of the many propositions previously rejected, and that every delay only enh ances th e difficulty of obtaining a satisfactory settlement. Under these circumstances, it is said that new and energetic efforts have been made to reopen the negotiations, and that the intervention of Prussia and Austria for that purpose has been eagerly sought for. This is not merely possible, .but exceedingly probable, and the precariou s health of FREDERICK WILLIADI renders it far more likely that his good offices would be sought for, while they might still be available. We can therefore easily credit the faCt that Count NESSELRODE has, as asserted by some of our Continental contemporaries, foriardecl despatches to the Cabinets of Berlin. and Vienna, asking that they should use their good offices for the purpose of inducing the Western Powers to re-open the abortive Conferences, with a view to the pacific solution of the difficulty. But it is now " too late." The Allies have been already too greatly disgusted with Prussia, too grossly de ceived by Austria, to suffer themselves again to be involved in diplomatic intrigues. Nay, more, Austria is so well aware of the state of public opinion in France and England, that she could not join in that, which must necessarily prove an abortive attempt, and which would inevitably place her in oven a worse position than that which she already occupies, bad as it is. But this judicious abstention from pressing in admissible propositions cannot materially improve the feeling of the Western Powers towards Austria. !The assertions of Muscovite and. German writers to that effect are, therefore, clearly without anyade• qUite foundation. No reliance whatever can now he placed on the promises and engagements of a Pa%Ter, which has already shamefully violated those the had previously entered into. It would cer tainlY not be hazardi ng ver y m uch to say th a t th e alliance between Austria and the Western Powersl " is now stronger) more secure, more easy in its application, and more intimate than it was at the period !" But We cannot assent even to that ver y limited assertion. INothine , bUt decided ac ti on can ever restore Austria, to the confidence a ll but, if not altogether, irretrievably bas And the mode of retriev i ng forfeited. her pciEi cola ortaiu:y not ta icy aZY ilatezvezticz cu behalf of Russia—any attempt to mitigate the punishment she has so richly merited, or to per mit her still to retain the mischievous powers which she has so flagrantly and wantonly abused, In another part of our impression will be found an extract from a letter written by one of the crew of the screw steam floating battery Glatton, which is well deserving of perusal, inasmuch as it exhibits the mismanagement and incapacity of our naval authorities at home in the strongest light. It is unnecessary to repeat what we have so repeatedly urged respecting the vast import ance of having a class of vessels requiring a low draught of water, and thus suitable for the work that may be required in the Euxine or the Baltic. " My Lords" at Whitehall apparently yielded to the pressure from without, and prided themselves considerably on the promptitude, extraordinary for them, with which they responded to the national demand by ordering mortar vessels, guu-vessels, and floating batteries. The proceed ings at Sweaborg proved beyond the possibility of doubt what might have been effected if there had been a sufficient force of that description, and the pernicious results of " the penny-wise-and-pound foolish" policy, so indefatigably pursued by the Board of Admiralty. Another melancholy illus tration has been afforded of the imbecility and incompetency exhibited at head-quarters, such as would be sufficient to destroy the credit and ruin any private establishment, however wealthy, that was subjected to such gross and palpable mis management. One of these floating batteries, the Glatton, which ought to have been ready in April, was, it appears, despatched on the 22d of August (!), destination unknown, but probably, from the direction steered, the Black Sea. As but little progress could be made by the un assisted efforts of the battery, a fine screw steam-frigate, the Horatio, was directed to tow her. But, even with that aid, the new batteries were not qualified for work. It was found that, although towed at the rate of 5i- knots per hour, they would not steer (!) The patent rudder was utterly useless, and the battery was, according to the graphic account of the writer, " yawing five or six points each way." It was evident, even in a trifling sea, that they would be soon " left on their hook," although " they had two 13-inch hawsers and a 20-inch cable." The sinister fore bodings were but too completely verified, for at 2 a.m. on the 29th ultimo the cables had all parted, and the useless hulk was left tossing about in " the trough of the sea," going whichever way she liked. At daylight they were again taken in tow, and fortunately were carried safely into Vigo. Now, at Brest, the master shipwright was at once enabled to state the cause of the failure. Two rudders were required iu the case of the Tonnant, anfil would be so in every similar vessel. But the obvious precaution was disregarded at home, and the officers and crew were to invent temporary substitutes by which the imminent dan ger might be averted. With seaman-like inge nuity they succeeded, after immense toil, officers and men being nearly worn out. But what would they not do in such an emergency, for, as the writer truly declares, "it is terrible to be left adrift, and not to be able to steer !" Nor was this all. A leak was discovered after leav ing Brest, through which the water ran in at the rate of a bucket a minute, but, as the writer remarks with considerable naiveté, "that is nothing to those who sail in batteries !" Now this is really too bad. We should press the subject on the attention of the First Lord were it likely totead to any beneficial result. But Sir CHARLES WOOD, we fear, is utterly irreclaimable. We must then be contented with exposing the griev ance, in the hope that the people will take the matter into their own hands, and that the voice of public opinion may proclaim in distinct and unequivocal terms the necessity of having, so far as the navy is concerned, " the right man in the right place,'' and not sacrificing the interests of the nation, and endangering the lives of our gallant seamen in order to gratify " red-tapist" propensities, and to mitigate the rancour of Earl GREY and his clique, by pro viding a lucrative and influential situation for his incompetent brother-in-law. A very pleasant atmosphere is that of truth and honesty. We have so often to deal with the outpourings and schemes of political gamesters, to unravel the web of their sophistries, point out the dangerous tendencies of their schemes, and hold up to reprobation their self-seeking and manifold tergiversations, that to meet with a speech of so sterling a patriot and so honest a representative as Mr. ROEBUCK is positively re freshing. Be the topic what it may, whether on perusal you agree or disagree with him in whole or in part in the opinions he expresses, you are assured at the outset that it is a sincere deliver ance, and the result of high-toned thought and candid inquiry, unbiassed by any motive that does not do him honour. Of few men indeed can this be said with equal truth ; and the pleasure which his speeches evoke is proportionally en hanced by the fact. The report, therefore, of the remarks of the Honourable—the word has a legitimate signifi cance in his case—Member for Sheffield, at the Cutlers' Feast in that town on Thursday last, met with the accustomed welcome on 'our part, and has been perused by us with even more than usual satisfaction.- After a course of GRAIUM, GLADSTONE, and Co., the hard est stomach might well, long for whole some food, and the sturdiest lqrain for more healthy employment ; and the gratification of this longing, the circumstances under which the Hon. Gentleman addressed his constituents, were well calculated to insure. Every one knows the noble , part taken by Mr. ROEBUCK at the commence os shores eraaryt ment of the session, in c onnection with the mis managementhe left ourm t heroic hd m , a the veryoutset ofthteha tever War. T —shallwesay?— of the mighty conflict in which we are engaged, got entangled in the mes h es of dic,. mestic treason and incompetency, and thousands of gallant fellows who never turned their backs on the foe, and had come scatheless out of re peated conflicts, had, thus entangled, fallen an easy prey to want, exposure, and pestilence. Th e people murmured, the people contributed, nearly everybody wondered, and Parliament, whose usefulness the Coburgians openly questioned, met. It was at this crisis that Mr. ROEBUCK stepped forward and resolutely demanded the means to ascertain " the reason why." He got a committee, and, imperfect as it was, we all know the result. If justice was not done on all the delinquents and the War subsequently carried on as became the English people, the ABERDEEN Ministry were sent to the right about, and the grosser and more obvious evils under which the army had suffered were, in a great measure, re moved. Treason found itself in the shade,. the army was secured against s t arva ti on , an d t h e Government had the conviction driven home to their minds, that the nation must not at least be flagrantly betrayed or trifled with for the future.. The 5e5~1~11 Frooeseded to , ClOO • Wad, 64417) Parliament being prorogued, Mr. ROEBUCK stood before the inhabitants of Sheffield. His reception, as a matter of course, though the object of the meeting was not political, was enthusiastic, members of all parties vieing with each other to do him honour. Evidently affected by his reception, his remarks were characterised by much cordiality of feeling, and the entire ab sence of anything approaching to party spirit. Attributing the warmth of his reception to the belief on their part that he had discharged his duty towards them as their representative, "so as to promote the welfare of England," he briefly referred to what he had done, and pointed out that the secret of his success was his being backed by his constituents and the country ; declaring, also, with as much truth as boldness, that " the heroic suffering " into which he had to inquire was partly owing to them. The assertion, he said, might seem a paradox, but they might be assured " that those who said representative go vernment was on its trial, meant this, that you were on your trial," adding—and let the all-important truth he enunciated never be for gotten, for it cannot be too constantly acted upon—" for representative government only fails when the constituency is unworthy." A senti ment deserving to be recorded in letters of gold, and on the truth of which we long ago insisted. Hardly less striking is the assertion " that the Government of this country will not be well car ried on until you, the middle classes, carry into that Government all the great qualities that have distinguished you as Englishmen ;" all the intel ligence and virtue, in short, that distinguish the people of this country. " Let it be said that we are an enlightened people, and able to govern ourselves." Patriotic and pregnant words, and to the purpose—words that should try the na tional metal, and be followed by a manly and true-hearted response from every town and county in the kingdom.

Her officers on leave have been recalled. The rumour is that her destination is Naples. SIEGE OP SEBASTOPOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. S.lll,—Of the siege of Sebastopol and all its accom panying horrors it is not necessary to say a word. Too many poor bleeding hearts bear horrible witness to the awful truth. The question, then, is—Can anything be done to put an end to the present state of things and hasten the fall (if it must be so) of that redoubtable and obstinate fortress ? And in furtherance of this question it may be remarked, that, having heard and known what has so recently been done at Sweaborg, it may again be asked, Why could not the same be done at Sebastopol, avid in the same way ? For if " vertical firing " has been so effectual in the former, why should it not be equally so in the latter ?—especially as the siege train is infinitely larger and heavier at Sebastopol than that at Sweaborg, and so much nearer the place. And as it would appear that the enemy is beginning to find himself "pinched," not only in his position but in his resources, it would be far better to " smash " the place at once and drive him from it by means of "ver tical firing," thereby saving many of our own noble and gallant spirits, and perhaps some of the enemy too. As for the stone walls and batteries, we could afford to leave them as they are. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, R. B. FEATHER. Liverpool, ith Sept., 1855. TEE WAR LOANS.

RECOMMENCEMENT OF THE BOMBARDMENT SEBASTOPOL. WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 7. Lord Panmure has this day received the fol lowing intelligence from General Simpson, dated "CRIMEA, SEPT. 5. " Our batteries opened fire at daylight this morning." "SEPT. 6, 5 P.M. " The bombardment goes on steadily and fa vourably, with few casualties on our side. A Russian frigate, supposed to have been set on fire by our rockets, was burnt last night in the great harbour." PARIS, SATURDAY MORNTNG. The following despatch has been received from General Pelissier, dated Sebastopol, Sept. 6 : " A vast fire, caused by our shells, seized the Russian vessel Marian last night. The flames illuminated all the camps. DESTRUCTION OF PETROPAULOVSKI. The following intelligence has been received from the Times' correspondent at Southampton, dated Saturday morning : The allied fleets, consisting of eight ships and steamers, arrived off Petropaulovski on the 15th May, with the intention of attacking it. " The whole of the garrison had made their escape in the Russian frigates Aurora and Dwina, having availed themselves of a dense fog on the 17th of April, and eluding the British frigates Barracouta and Encounter, which for a long time had been blockading the Fort. The place has been completely destroyed, and 51 guns taken. The allied fleets have sailed for the Amoor river, to which the garrison of Petropaulcvski have fled. MARSEILLES, SATURDAY, SEPT. 8. The Sinai, which left Constantinople on the 30th August, has arrived. The advices from the Crimea are to the 28th August. She has brought 150 invalids. Despatches leave at 9 a.m. The White Falcon has arrived. The Mentor has left for Constantinople. We (Times) hare received from our Paris cor respondent the following telegraphic despatch, dated Saturday morning : " A treaty of alliance and of commerce was con cluded on the 12th of July between France and Persia, and the ratifications were given to the Minister of France on the 14th." DANTZIC, SEPT. G. The'allied fleets are still anchored at Nargen, a part being near the island of Seskar. On the 2d, the Imperieuse frigate and a cor vette left Seskar to make a reconnaissance on the side of Cronstadt. As far in advance as the Tolboukin lighthouse, they perceived two Russian frigates at anchor. The Russian vessels on seeing them at once took to flight, and withdrew behind the fortifica tions. Nothing else of interest took place. THE CRIMEA. A letter from Constantinople, of the 27th ult., in the Semaphore of Marseilles, says :—" There is some great personage among the Russians in the Crimea. He has come from St. Petersburg, and it is under his auspices that the battle of the 16th took place. Many Tartars affirm that it is tho Emperor Alexander himself, who is travelling in cognito, as his father often did. But it is most likely one of his brothers, perhaps Duke Constan tine. He has taken up his quarters at Kara]Ps, where there are frequent councils of war held, They are only waiting, it is said, for two divisions of Grenadiers to make another grand attack upon the allies. If they again fail, nothing remains for them but to withdraw from the interior, for they are positively in want of provisions, and find great difficulty in procuring supplies." FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. A statement appeared some days since in several of the papers that a new circular despatch had been addressed by M. de Nesselrode to his diplomatic agents at the various Courts in Germany. The statement-was contradicted, then repeated, and again contradicted. Notwithstanding the contra diction it met with, and the secresy with which it has been kept, the cirmlar has been issued, as ori ginally stated, and, among others, addressed to the Russian Ambassadors at the Courts of Berlin and Vienna. The fact was announced to the French Secretary of Legation at the former place by M. Manteuffel, the Minister himself being absent at the time. M..M , inteuffei informed him that he had seen the cir'cula'r, but on the Chargé d'Affaires requesting, as is usual in such cases, a copy of it, the Prussian Minister declared that he had not a copy in his possession, and that the Rus sian Ambassador merely read it to him, and no thing. more. This, in all probability, was untrue, as M. Manteuffel is known to have made a similar declaration on previous occasions, though he bad the paper in his possession at the moment. The despatch contained a proposition to the effect that Prussia, conjointly with Austria, should use her in fluence to induce the-Western Powers to re-open the conferences at Vienna, with a view to a pacific set tlement of the question with Russia. The propo sition was made by Prussia to Austria, hut Austria promptly and positively, it is stated, refused to accede. A few days ago the French Government professed itself satisfied with the conduct of Aus tria on a late occasion. This refusal, perhaps, may explain the satisfaction. There is not much merit in this, as Austria must have known that there was no chance of England or France repeat ing the farce of the Vienna conferences. We stated about six months ago at least, on the authority of a private letter from Oldenburg, that Russia would take the opportunity' of putting Prussia forward as a mediator of some kind. _ _ Private letters from Berlin would seem to corro borate what has been already said of the state of the King of Prussia's health. It is considered as an alarming symptom that his breathing has be come more difficult, and, indeed, his condition generally inspires considerable uneasiness. The Russian party of the Court are in dismay, as the death of the King would be fatal to their influence. The Prince of Prussia, it appears, keeps apart, and does not interfere, at least, , ostensibly, in political affairs. The Constitutionnel 'las received a non-official warning about the correspondence it published the other day relative to the Danubian Principalities, and the hatred which the Austrian occupation has excited among the inhabitants ; and the Moniteur yesterday contained an article, in the form of a letter from Buch ares t, intended, no doubt, to neu trailin tin ded of the Omer, The Constitu. tionmel is correct if it says that the ..kustrians aro detested in. the Principalities, and the private letters from Bucharest and Jassy completely cor roborate these statements.

A letter from Vienna of the 3d says :—" The Emperor of Austria left this city yesterday for Ischl, and the Empress is to leave Laxenburg on the sth to join his Majesty. Although a courier is to be sent to the Emperor daily with despatches on current affairs, it may be assumed that the impor tant questions in foreign and domestic poliCy have been solved for the moment, and that the presence of the Emperor at Vienna is not necessary. It is thought that the measures necessary for causing Austria to abandon her doubtful situation for a more positive one have been adopted. It is asserted hat Baron de Prokesch is to he nominated am bassador at Constantinople, and is to leave for his destination in the beginning of October." It is said that Austria has again remonstrated, and in warm terms, with the Neapolitan Govern ment on the odious, tyrannical, and barbarous practices of the police authorities. Austria is per fectly aware that such conduct may provoke, and would justify, open resistance, and she naturally fears that insurrection, once begun in the south, would fly like wildfire all over the peninsula. Disturbances in Italy would not be a very agreea ble prospect for any one, but they would be for Austria particularly a serious complication. It is not said that the Neapolitan Government shows any disposition to modify its system. TURKEY. A letter from Varna of the 25th ult. ste es that Abdi Pasha had arrived there, as commissioner of the Porte, to superintend theembarkation cf Turk ish troops for Asia. These troops are to be dis embarked at different places on the Asiatic coast, and are to be concentrated at Batoum. Omer Pasha will inform the Porte from Batoum of the wants of hi s army , an d w ill t h en go to t h e Crimea, and thence to Varna, to be present at the embarkation of the troops whom he will conduct into Asia. By landing at Batoum, whence he will proceed - . to take up a fortified position in the interior, Omer Pasha hopes to cut cf the retreat of the Russians, The greater part of the troops assembled at Maslak have been sent to the Crimea. A good many deserters from the Russians in the Crimea had arrived at Varna, and most of them showed a desire to enter the corps of Turkish Cos sacks which Sadik Pasha is organising. The Journal de Constantinople states that the Russians have destroyedall the crops and committed other devastations in the province of Armenia. The nomad Kurd families have left for the south, and a great number of Armenians have followed the Russians into Erivan. The Russians are cir culating proclamations in the Armenian language, in which they promise all Armenians wbo will emigrate into Georgia their protection, exemption from all taxes for 10 years, concessions of land, and exemption from military service for 25 years. A letter from Therapia in the Moniteur an nounces that, according to letters from Erzeroum of the 14th, the Russians had retired to some dis tance, but whether for the purpose of concentrating their forces or otherwise was not known.. This letter also confirms the intelligence of a partial attack upon Kars by the Russians, successfully repelled by the garrison. A Russian General is stated to have fallen in the action. RUSSIA. A letter, dated Warsaw, August 29, says :-- "General Buchozanett, who has been appointed to succeed the late General Read in the command of the second army corps, set out for Sebastopol yes terday. He has hitherto held the rank of chief of the artillery of the active army. He is a man of intellect and energy, and a thoroughly accom plished soldier, his military attainments being in nowise limited to the range of that special branch of the service to which he has devoted himself. Another levy of conscripts is impending here. The Government of Kieff, which until now has been subordinated to the Commander-in-Chief of the Crimean army, is now placed, with all its military establishments, under the care of Prince Paskie witch." A letter from Berlin of the nth says :—" The Duke of Saxe-Coburg has communicated to the other German Courts the reservations he has made against the intervention of the Diet in the settle ment of constitutional questions relating to his States, and that he has also invoked the mediation of the two great German Powers. The Prussian Government has refused tainterfere in the matter, and refers the solution to the Diet itself, which is the supreme central authority in Germany." The Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived. An official return represents that the number of persons attacked by cholera at Madrid from the c , immencement of May to the end of August, was 2,958, and that 1,783 of them died. The cholera has broken out with extreme violence at Pampa lima ; on the 28th ult., not fewer than 40 persons died of it. A letter of the 3d, received in advance of the mail, says, that the Queen continued to be in perfect accord with her Ministers. It states that the Captain-general of Catalonia had reported that two Carlist bands, under chiefs named Gui bert and Hilignet, had been routed at Osort and - Adrian, and it announces that extraordinary heavy rains had caused great damage to the railway from Madrid to Albaceta. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING. The United States mail steam-ship Union, Capt. Adams, has arrived off Cowes en route to Havre, with the French and English mails, &c. She left New York on the 25th ult. THE LATE HORRIBLE AND MYSTERI OUS MURDER AT BRISTOL. A very remarkable circumstance has just transpired. It will be remembered that at the time of the discovery of the unfortunate girl's mutilated remains an opinion was entertained that the assassination was the work of some lunatic, and that a man seemingly insame had on more than one occasion been seen near the spot, where he had frightenel several ladies, and had on one occa sion run after some children with what was believed to be a razor in his band. A day or two since a letter was received by the super intendent of the police force, Captain Fisher, from the police superintendent at Neath, stating that a young man, evidently in a state of insane depression, had been found sitting down near the Vale of Neath Railway. The communication stated that the young man had no hat, that his clothes were torn and disordered, as if he had been lying about in woods ; that he was exceedingly sul len, and would give no account of himself, and that the only clue which could be discovered to his place of residence was the fragment of a Bristol grocer's bill, which had been found in his pockets. Inquiries were made by the police, and it was ascertained that a young man, of somewhat gloomy and eccentric habits, had gone away from there, and had been sought for in vain. Nothing had occurred at that time to suggest inquiry as to the period of his departure, but the superintendent of police at Neath was at once communicated with, and the lunatic was brought to Bristol by packet. All the way on the voyage he preserved the same sullen silence until he bad got up the river above the Black Rock. He then pointed right across to the gully where the body was found, and said, " There's where a mur der was committed." The officer in whose charge he was affected ignorance of the occurrence, and said, " Who was murdered there—a man or a woman ?" to which he replied, " A girl." After this he returned to his former sullen mood, and said scarcely a word more until delivered to Jiis friends. Now, it is very possible that the young man might have spoken of the murder from having heard of it, but the circumstances altogether were so remarkable that the police are employed in mak ing a diligent inquiry on the subject, particularly with reference to how he was employed on the day of the tragic occurrence. THE EXAMINATIONS • FOR CIVIL SERVICE A PPOINT MENTS. —The standard of examination adopted by the Civil Service Commission varies with the different offices, but we are assured that, as respects nine-tenths of the junior situations, no candidate need fear rejection who possesses a good acquaintance with arithmetic, writes a plain hand, Fad can. Spell properly. . Civil Service Gazette. FRENCH COTTAGE ORNES.—I was much Pleased with some newly-erected villas and cottage orn4s which I saw at Passy and Auteuil, in which a highly picturesque effect was produced by the employment of black and red brick and stone without any elaborate decoration. Some of these were in the late:domestic French Gothic style—. a style peculiarly adapted, I think, for modern resi dences, and of which there are numerous specimens ex isting in good preservation. Its adoption and introduc tion to this country would give cne more element for those new combinations of known forms which must henceforth in architecture take the place of originality. —251 Buijdr r l • IN RE DAWSON. This was a meeting for last examination. The bank rupt was described as a tobacconist, of Shadwell. The balance-sheet commenced in February, 1854, and ended Ju;y, 1855, and showed—Debtor—To creditors, 1,2611. 94. ; profits, 701/. ; surplu3, February, 1854, 1901. 84. Creditor—By good debts, 431.

MANSION-HOUSE, Robert Eldon was charged befiira Alderman Carter with stealing a bottle of brandy and a bottle of Rhenish wine, from that celebrated place of amusement, the Eagle Tavern, City-road. The prisoner was met by a policeman with the articles in his possession, and from the suspicious conduct of the prisoner he took hi•n into custody. Mr. Conquest, the proprietor of the establishment, was ignorant of the robbery until informed of it by the policeman. He was unable to identify the articles. The prisoner's master gave him a very good charac ter, and the Alderman dismissed him with a caution. DESERTION.— A tall swarthy-looking man with a large quantity of beard and whisker, was charged with desert ing the ship John Masterman, after signing articles as second mate. A clerk from the office of Sir John Hodgkinson, the owner, and others, were called in support of the charge, and that the prisoner had got another ship. The prisoner in his defence said he intended to sail in the ship, but is consequence of some delay from a difficulty he hal in getting his advance note cashed the vessel left the docks and sailed before he could join her. Alderman Carter committed the prisoner for 4 days. GUILDHALL. FORGING LETTERS OF CREDIT.- -The two Spaniards Mazip and Cortaza, remanded charged with forging two letters of credit, one for 1,1001. and the other 7001., with intent to defraud two Spanish houses carrying on busi ness in the city, were again placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Finnis for further examination, Mr. S. Mullins, in the absence of his brother, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner for the prisoners. Mr. Mullins said it was not his intention t . ) produce further evidence to-day, but to ask for a remand in con sequence of his brother, who conducted the case, having gone to Paris t) endeavour to get.possession of two letters containing the whole of the money which the prisoners had forwarded to their addresses at that place. The prisoners were remanded for a week. BOW-STREET. AN EXTENSIVE ROBBERY PREVENTED.—This morning two men, one named Robert Ford, and the other John. Barrill, were placed at the bar charged with attempted housebreaking. From the evidence of Keziah Fenn, the wife of a police constable in the F division, it appeared that this morning about two o'clock she was disturbed by hearing a water pail fall in the back-yard of the house, No. 6, Middle row, at present unoccupied and in custody of her hus band. She jumped up, and on looking out of the win dow she saw two men attempting to enter the premises by cutting out a square of glass in the back parlour window. She immediately raised the alarm by shouting for the police, ar,d calling out "Thieves, thieves," and immediately she saw one of the men run to a rope that had been fastened by them at the other side of the wall, by which he escaped. As quickly as possible she ran to the front door and admitted the police, but, on their going to the place in which she had seen the men it was found they had both decamped. Mr. Henry—Was the yard an enclosed one ? Witness—Yes, your worship. The wall around it WAS upwards of eight feet in height, and the house ad. joining was occupied by a jeweller and silversmith. Police-constable 70 F, said, about two o'clock he en tered the house, No. 4, Middle row, haying been in formed by the last witness that two men were attempt ing to obtain admission. On proceeding to the yard he found the men had succeeded in escaping by means of a rope which he found hanging over the wall. He also found a knife near the back parlour window, bat could not succeed in capturing the burglars. Mr. White, hair-worker, residing at No. 4, Middle row, stated, that early this morning he was awoke by his wife, who told him that she thought she heard a noise as if some persons had effected an entrance into the house. He, however, did not get up, but between six and seven the other persons in the house having arisen, he, in company with one of them, searched the house, and in a celler under the stairs he discov , red the prisoner Ford. The prisoner had " curled himself up " into a small compass or he could not have hidden himself where he did. Upon being taken from his hiding-plan, he never made the slightest observation as to what his ob ject was for so concealing himself. A police-officer was sent for, and he was given into custody. Police-sergeant 10 F said that about half-past eight this morning, he proceeded to the house No. 4, Middle row, and on making a thorough search he discovers 1 the other prisoner, Burrill, up the kitchen chimney. He was sitting on one of the side projections in the flue, and, as he imagined, in safe" concealment, but his feet being visible, he caught hold of them and pulled him down. On the police making a further search in the vicinity of the premises, a gimlet was found in the area of No. 6, and on the leads of No. s—a silversmith's—a centre-bit and crowbar were found. The Inspector said, from information he had received. he believed the prisoner Burrill was the person refe , red to by a man who was at the bar of this court, and re manded on Thursday last, charged with being in posses. sion of a coat which f armed part of some property that had been stolen from a house in the vicinity of the court a month ago. Barra!, he had been given to understand, was the " Fair Charley " that the min said had given him the coat. Mr. Henry—We will have the whole three men here this day week ; and upon being asked what they bad to say in defence to the present charge, both prisoners de clined making any statement. The magistrate then ordered the prisoners to befre manded, and gave directions that the man accused of stealing the coat should be placed before him at the same THAMES. ALLEGED RAPE ON A CHlLD.—Robert Courtenay, r. respectable young man, was charged with an indecent assault on the person of Sarah Horford, a little girl hav ing no home, who had been for some time wandering about the streets at the eastern part of the metropolis. Sarah Horford said she generally slept in the casual ward of Whitechapel Workhouse. About half-past one o'clock this morning she met the prisoner in the White chapel-road, when he asked her a few questions, and gave her sixpence to walk with him. They had not gone far when the prisoner took her up a court, where he pulled up her clothes and behaved indecently to her on the pavement. Police constable 169 H deposed to meeting the pri• Boner and the prosecutor in Gloucester-street, near the Eastern Saloon. They were standing near a gateway, and at such an hour witness asked the prisoner what he did with the child at that time when ho said that he was ;wing, borne. He prct ded to open one of the doors, but not going in, witness questioned the little girl, when she said the prisoner had taken liberties with her. 1 1. • took him into custody after the statement of the chill Mr. John Cowley, surgeon, of High.streelhi te ' chapel, stated th a t h e exam i ne d the girl at the s iun in Leman-street, Goodman's-fields, at two o'clock. That were marks of irritation, but no indication of violence. There was no evidence of the capital offence having bees effected. The prisoner strongly denied the charge, and said tbs prosecutor had sworn falsely. Mr. Ingham—l do not believe you have committed rape, but you have certainly been guilty of an assault, for which you must pay a fine of 51., and in default to be imprisoned for two calendar months. The prisoner was locked up in default. AN IRISH Row IN UPPER EAST SMITHYIELD. --0" Connell, an Irish labourer, was placed in the dock before Mr. Ingham, charged with an assault and causing a d iP turbance in Cooper's-row, Upper East Smithfield. Sergeant Ball, 21 H, stated that about half-past ono o'clock this morning his attention was directed 01/ great disturbance in Cooper's-row, near the Load °ll , Docks, which was th e rendezvous pf the lowest order 0' the Emerald Isle, and on approaching the house witnefa saw the defendant ru n ni ng a b ou t i n a sta t e o f 1311dit , l ; with a poker in his right h an d.
