LITTERS FROM THE CRIMEA. manoeuvring, and luckily compelled us to fight a la de bandade, and as the enemy adhered to the column sys tem of attack, throwing out about an eighth of his men as skirmishers, we were enabled, notwithstanding our small force, to have as many muskets at work as he, and ultimately, with the aid of our good allies, he w in spite of rum and superstition, driven down the hill. It is most delightful to see the way in which the peo ple in England subcribe to alleviate the hardships and sufferings of this army, but it is more heartrending to know that, until the means for and the management of the transports from Balaklava are improved, all their money and good-will will be unavailing. I know not where the blame rests (at any rate, I do not choose to express my opinion), but I must say that matters con nected with this department are not only badly, but wickedly managed, and, what is worse, no suggestions are ever listened to. No time seems to improve them. With the commonest method and forethought, this army might be happy, healthy, and comfortable—for, hitherto at any rate, the climate has not been so bad, considering it is winter—but the men are over-worked, wet, ill-fed, and without sufficient time to get fuel. This arises from our having undertaken to do too much as to the siege, and too little as to the commissariat trans port. At Balaklava there is everything,in the camp nothing, or but little, and that little has constantly to be fetched by sending men, just out of the trenches, twelve miles through nine inches deep of mud and m ire, and keeping them standing or sitting in it for hours until they can get what is to be given to them. It would be well not to publish the fine statements of arrangements for the sick as to comforts and conveyance, until the plans are not only preposed but executed. After the fine article I saw in the Times some months ago, what would they think if I told them, that the only bed for weeks in the hospitals in camp was an inch and a half in mud, the only transport a springless artillery waggon, or a worse araba ? After the French have lent us aid we are now employing the cavalry horses to con vey the men on board ship, poor fellows, who can't stand, and possibly have never ridden, aro hoisted on half starved horses, and thus conveyed. The French, on the contrary, do well, they are organi se d f or war — we f or nothing ; the result is that out of an army employed in the East 0f.44,000 men, we cannot produce above 22,000 under arms, and those not h a lf fit t o fight, and the whole in such a state of dirt aaa .. weuiu tat.. nuglish soldiers. Still there is no grumbling, no real discontent ; and slew clothing, good food, and 10 days' rest, with warmth, would, I am convinced, make them a match (as to fighting) for the like number of any troops in the world. The manage ment here, I repeat, has been wretched, disgraceful ; and I hope if Sebastopol be ever taken, some sound head and strong hand will be sent here to put matters to rights, if we are to continue the war. It will not be a very easy matter, but it must be done, and there are men that could do it if they would bat look about them at homo, and not adhere to all their old trumpery notions. I was always against coming here, and in favour of Odessa. As we did come,. however, I believe with more activity we should most gloriously have succeeded. We took the bull by the horns at Alma, flung him, and then would not keep him down ; but after all we might have taken the town by assault on the 28th September, as was proposed by Cathcart ; but, instead of doing so, we idled away nearly three weeks in smoking pipes, and then, when we opened our b a tt er i es , we f oun d th e long range a perfect failure. Sir J. Burgoyne, I think, has conducted the siege very badly, but I shall be told, of course, that lam wrong. They are, I believe, getting up immense quantities of ammunition new, and intend opening at the same range ; this, you will see, will be another failure. The town can only be taken by vast labour, time, sickness, and expense, or by assault. I am for the last, or, if not that, an attack upon the enemy outside, and then to entirely invest it. The only difficulty to overcome in this is that cursed " transport." I suppose the commissaries would expire if they were told that they were to convey provisions 15 miles in stead of six. (FROM A CAVALRY OFFICER.) Camp Heights of Balaklava, Dec. 29. lam sorry to tell you there is an immense amount of dissatisfaction and discontent among the troops en gaged at the Balaklava battle that there is no " Bala klava clasp" named,'Alma and Inkerman being the only two mentioned in General Orders. We had an army in our front big enough to eat us up, all in order to ad vance, and which was advancing upon us, skirmishers in front, until they witnessed the result of their cavalry charge. It was a most important action, for, if the enemy had succeeded in their attack, our army would have been hashed altogether, its base being cut off. But because some Turks ran away, and blunders were made subsequent to the repulse, surely it is hard that those who shared in causing that repulse, and who participated in the unparalleled gallantry which, unhappily, resulted from those blunders, should be debarred from what all join in decreeing as justly their due. I see, too, in a speech made by Mr. Sidney Herbert, Secretary at War, the following :—" During the present campaign, three most important battles have been fought,"—why then give a bar but for two ? It is also suggested, with some grumbling at the omission, that- we Balaklavians are also entitled to the Inkerman clasp, inasmuch as we had a strong body (three times our number) of that same Russian army which attacked at Inkerman, in our front—all under arms, with cavalry and skirmishers in front—allusion to which you will have seen both c English and Russian despatches ; in the latter its purpose being declared "to keep the detach ments at Balaklava in check, so that we could not move to the front, or detach any of our troops here." Our batteries opened fire upon them, causing their cavalry to recede, and we were under arms during the whole period of the batttle,the whole of which, it is considered, most strictly es.titles us to the clasp. Other wise, why did the reserve at Waterloo get the medal for? wby will the cavalry have the Alma clasp? or the Third Division that of Alma either ? Surely, when it is known in England that so much dissatisfaction is caused among those who daily look upon the enemy, and may at any hour be again engaged with them, these things will be rectified.

I am glad you did not see at first whether I was wounded slightly or severely. I dare say by this time you have seen that I have been wounded severely. I must now tell you the nature of my wound. It was a canister shot through between the two bones of the lower part of the left leg, about six inches above the ankle ; one of the bones was quite was quite shattered, and am putation found to be necessary. It was taken off on the field, or at least in a temporary hospital we had in Balaklava. I was sent aboard ship that evening, and steamed down here in a couple of days. It would have been a good job for me if I could have been disembarked next day, but the weather came on rough, and only the slightly wounded could move. I lay between decks in that steamer for 10 days. Yon could not get any attend ance, and the rain came through the deck above, and re gularly saturated you ; the consequence of which was that by the time I got ashore myleg had taken an unfavour able turn, and I have since had a very bad bout with it, but now the doctors say it has taken a favourable turn again. I think so myself, and thank God fur it. My leg is cut off very long, about a foot below the knee, so that if I can get on all right I can have a cork leg; and having both my arras I can earn a good livelihood yet. The battle of Balaklava was certainly a disastrous af fair for the poor Light Cavalry. The cowardly conduct of the Turks, in the first instance, made a great odds to us all through the day, the Russians have such play at us from our own redoubts and using our own shot and. shell. However, our Marino Artillery, with a tremen dous range, with some ships' guns which they had planted on the heights close above Balaklava harbour, soon re gularly shelled them out of the redoubts. They now made a bold stroke for it, in their way, and came over the hill with most of their army, including a great many cavalry. The first thing they did (a large cloud of Cos sacks) was to charge about three companies of the 93d Highlanders, who, however, gave them such a warm re ception that they turned to the right about pretty sharp. Our heavy dragoons, first the Scots Greys and Ennis killens, charged slap at the whole front of the cavalry, with the infantry in rear. They went down at first like reeds before our Heavies, but as there was only about one I can't help thinking that ere many days we shall make a move of some kind, and the sooner the better. This division, which this day week had only 3,500 men under arms (out of 6,000), has now 372 less, that being the loss in seven days from death and sick ab sence. Why won't the Times try and touch up a system that produces such results? Its remarks about staff offi cers are excellent, and, although a staff-officer myself, I quite agree with them. They have often really difficult things to do and hard duty to perform ; if they do both well, let them have their reward, but for merely convey ing an order with propriety why should they be men tioned I The Duke of Newcastle's letter is excellent ; praise deserved and handsomely bestowed must be gra tifying to all men, and good hearts must feel satisfaction at mention being made of their comrades now in the grave. But men fight not for praise alone, and surely it is rather hard, after going through the miseries of wet, cold, and cholera, without any " sweet or dry " to help one—after having had a fair allowance of shot and shell, to say nothing of sword and bayonet—to be re quired to have a good constitution for years to come, that one may reach " the lean and slippered pantaloon" period of existence before getting a reward. I under. stand that officers are corning out from England to take all the plums out of the pudding, and that we are not to have any of the prizes of that lottery in which we took a ticket. There is, however, noase in grumbling, so I shall roll myself nu ip. my blanket, cglate myself I upuu the many eneenum nres mat are b l azing mu tue e6t tages of Old England, wish you and all my countrymen a merry Christmas, and then fall asleep as comfortably as these constant cannon shots will allow me upon these Heights above Sebastopol. bonnie Grey or bold Enniskillen to so many Russians they began to outflank them, when the rest of the Heavy Bri gide charged and drove them back like a flock of sheep. The Light Brigade was ordered to the pursuit, we and the 4th Light were on the extreme left flank, covering a troop of Horse Artillery, to keep back a division of them who were trying to outflank uc in that direction- After their artillery and ours had battered away at each other for sorse time, the balls corning hot and strong through the coverers, a French battery of heavy metal opened on them from the rear of the Sebastopol heightg, drove them back, and we could see the Chasseurs d'Afrique coming down at a gallop. It was just about this time that we got the order to pursue, so off we went to the rear after the retiring party ; we had to get through a vineyard over a mud wall and ditch, and there were a good many "downers" and some fun. When we gut, through we went Lea. Dag up LLD LIU af,,a 611,..A, rue Heavies were close on their rear. The Lancers and others of the Lights were closing on them, and we were coming up at a good pace and nearly into them, when they got over the hills beyond the redoubts, into their . stronghold in the valley, when they brought their guns to bear upon us. We retired out of range, and sat fronting them, when they formed as nice a trap as could possibly have been, and which nobody but a blind man could have missed seeing. They planted guns on the hills right and left of the valley, and all their field pieces at the end right facing us. I believe Captain Nolan was sent to reconnoitre the hills on each side. Whatever re port he took to Lord Raglan we know not, but I expect his reported they were ail clear, as he came back with an order to Lord Lucan for the Light Brigade to charge and take the field guns, and the ammunition and guns taken from the Turks. Lord Lucan asked if Lord Rag lan was aware of the enemy's position t "There is-the order, and there is the enemy," Nolan is reported to have said. Lord Cardigan then got the order as given, and gave the order for the brigade to advance in two lines—first the 17th, 18th, and 13th, second the 11th and 4th. Off we went tearing towards destruction. The round shot came first, killing many a poor fellow. One most wonderfully came past my shoulder, striking my rear-rank man right in the chest. Onward we went. I could see the shells bursting over our heads and hear the grape and canister hissing through us. The cross fire was murderous—a square of infantry and guns with grape and canister pelting through us and shelling from the opposite heights. But I felt or feared nothing—a sortrof wildness came over me, and I seemed to care not where I went or what I did. Onward still. The first line had retired, the guns were silenced, and, retiring behind a large herd of Cossacks, they formed a front, but would not stand our charge, but galloped through guns and everything. We cut down the gunners and literally took the whole lot. The Cossacks came out by twos and threes, and kept firing away at us from their long pieces, annoying us dreadfully. We lo o k e d anxiously round for a support, when we perceived what we considered the 17th Lancers a good distance in the rear of us. "Hurra, my boys," sung out our brave Colonel Douglas, "let's give them anothercharge; the 17th will be up then, and we'll take guns home with us." " Come on, lads," said Lord George Paget, his gallant brother-in-law, Colonel ofthe 4th Lights. I found myself as excited as possible, slayings out, "Com e on boys ;" anything is preferable to sitting quietly and being shot at. At last some one gave the alarm that it was a large body of Russian Lancers, formed up to cut off our retreat. " There's no help for it," said Lord George Paget, "we must retire, and cut our way through them as well as we can." We went threes about, and went calmly to the rear. They did not at tempt to cross our front, but attacked our right flank and rear. I was pretty near the right flank, and of course retiring in the rear rank ; I had allowed my horse to flag a little, when one of the gentlemen came on to at taci: me with hisqanee at a slanting pneiLion, and was making a poke for my back ; I wheeled round in the saddle, parried his lance, and gave him a second rear point to the left of his right shoulder, which I expect will spoil his lancing for - seine time.

I moved for ward and asked to be taken to the rear ; I was hurried off to the doctor (the assistant), who had a lot of our officers and men in the nice green ditch of a vineyard, where we could lie up the slope ; I had lost a tremend ous deal of blood, and one of the officers gave me a good swig of brandy oat of his flask. The doctor stopped the bleeding-, and we had to wait some time for the ambul ance, which came at last and took us off to the hospital, and you know the rest.

The following is an extract from a letter from an officer of Light Dragoons who survived the sanguinary Balaklava char ge : " We are sending in our claims for the Crimea medal. Mine appears with Alma and Inkerman. I wish I could add Balaklava. We all consider it a great grievance that we are to get nothing for our charge on the 25th of October, I confess I think it is too bad.' Our Allies are astonished. They said to an officer of the Bth, a day or two ago—' If we had made such a charge as that, every officer and man who came out would have bees decorated.' Lord Raglan said that it was made under a misconception. What have the officers and men to do with that They were ordered to charge the Russian guns, and most gallantly did they obey the order." BAL l [ORAL—Balmoral is in Aberdeenshire, and on the Dee : it is near Abergeldie and Braemar, and was formerly the seat of the Earl of Fife. It is in the heart of a most romantic and mountainous conitry "The eirelimg hills all black and wild Are o'er its slumbers darkly pilad." It is backed to the south by the bills vhereon the father of young Norv,al fed his flocks,--the granite Grampians, with their frightful precipices, yawning chasms, and rushing torrents ; while to the west tower up some of the loftiest and most picturesque mountains in the king dom,—Den Maick Dhui, Cairntoul, and Cairngorm,— the mountain of crystals. Amongst these are to be found scenery of the grandest description, views varying in character, from the wild sublimity of utter barrenness to the mild beauty of smiling streams and richly-wooded heights, incliding— " A stately progeny of pines, With all their floating foliage richly robed." Abergeldic has an old castle ; at Braemar a cairn points out the spot where clansmen were summoned to attend by "fell cross of blood and brand ;" and in Lumphanan a mound marks where fell Macbeth, notwithstanding Holinshed and Shakspere (because of Holinshed) give the "honour" to Dunsinane. Aberdeen, the city of "Bon accord," the birth-place of Scottish learning, and of Gibbs, the architect, by the way, is about forty-five miles off to the north-east. The estate itself includes a ruin and a loch,—loch Muick,—and stretches as far as "dark Loch-na-Garr," made famous by Byron, who spent some of the early part of his life near it, and after wards sang— (FROM A STAFF OF December 28.

The Court then adjourned. SEIVERAGE OF LONDON. Though London still remains without any organised system of drainage, and though over a considerable part of its area the common facilities of sewerage are almost, if not altogether, wanting, we think we may nevertheless congratulate our metropolitan readers on the point at which this question, after years of agitation and debate, has at length arrived. In a few words, the Commis sioners of Sewers are now at last upon the right track, are apparently in earnest, and are so far advanced in the business that action must needs soon take the place of argument. Four er five years ago all the leading prin ciples on this subject had yet to be established. It was not so much as confessed even that a new organisation of metropolitan sewerage was necessary ; on the con trary, it was argued in official quarters that all we wanted was an extension, and perhaps a little improvement, of the system actually in use. It was not acknowledged that the Thames ought to he included in the area to be purified. Some engineers declared that such a purifica tion of its waters was impossible; others roundly as serted that the attempt would be an entire mistake, for that the river could never serve any better purposes than those of a sewer, for which it was eminently and ob viously fitted. Pendir p ee all these discussions of prin ciple there were endless discussions of detail, the metro politan public got confused and disgusted with intermi nable' squabbles over pipes and "sumps," and, in the end, as everybody will remember, one commission after another was swept away without any substantial results having been obtained. The present aspect of affairs, if not absolutely satis factory, is considerably more promising. The principles of the question are settled. All the points for which, on behalf of the public, we so long contended are now admitted by all parties together. There is no longer a question about the propriety of purifying the Thames ; every scheme recognises this condition as plainly indis pensable. There is no longer any dispute about the ra,El 1,201 Ant", ~f- 1_ 1 t----, v scheme aiy proceeds directly on this assumption, and recom mends itself exactly in proportion as it professes to in troduce some new, effectual, and comprehensive ar rangements. Channels of seine kind or other are to be substituted for the bed of the Thames ; into these main tunnels the sewers of the different districts are to dis charge themselves, while every house, instead of stand ing, as many now do, over smothered cesspools, is to have an outlet for its drainage into the sewers. These aro the great points of the question now accepted. The sewage is not to accumulate in cesspools or "sumps," nor to be poured into the stream of a tidal river, to be washed backwards and forwards at our feet ; it is to be carried away through seine artificial channels to some spot where it will at least be innocuous, and where, as our knowledge of these matters improves, it may some day be converted into a marketable commodity. Another satisfactory circumstance is, that beside these advances in theory, considerable advance has been made in practice. It is not only acknowledged that all this ought to be done, but it is confessed that it can be done. A scientific and comprehensive drainage scheme, which not so very long ago was pronounced a thing utterly impracticable, is now admitted to be easily within the means of our engineers, and is not expected, after all, to cost any very formidable sum. Measurements have been taken, plans devised, and oven formal estimates framed and presented. The approaches, as military engineers would say, are all complete, the parallels have been finished one after another, and the branching bat teries aro at the very walls of the place. We scarcely see how there can be any further pretext for suspense or delay. The project of draining the metropolis on a comprehensive and effectual system, is not only known to be practicable, but more than one set of men are ready at this minute to set about the work. The Me tropolitan Commissioners of Sewers have nothing to do but decide definitively between the proposals before them ; and this, as our recent reports have informed the reader, is what they are now about. Without prejudging the several questions which have already been propounded, and which will shortly come before the public afresh, we may give our readers some general view of the points for discussion. There is one question as to the level at which the main tunnel sewers ought to be carried ; there is a second as to the scale on which they ought to be constructed ; and there is, of course, a third, as to the particular course which they should take. The second of these points is that which appears to have created the principal debate, and on its solution will depend much not only of the character but the cost of the scheme adopted. The smaller the main sewer is, the more easily and cheaply it can, of course, be made, but the difficulty here is this,—that, whereas a comparatively small drain would perfectly suffice to carry off all the ordinary sewage, a much greater power of discharge is required to deal with the excessive flow produced by heavy rainfalls, and the dimensions of the sewer have consequently to be calculated for these extra ordinary occasions. The designs of Messrs. Bazalgette and Haywood, the engineers, respectively, of the Metro politan and the City Commission of Sewers, adopt what may be termed the broad gauge principle in this matter, And their views aro ---,P A .-n.(l 1,-,!tho 78}u)rity of Sir_i W. cnoitt and Mr. R. btephenSon, of opinion that smaller dimensions than those approved in the said designs would end in nothing but disappoint ment. Altogether, this seems to be the principle most in favour in official quarters, while the proposals of pri vate and independent projectors point to simpler and less expensive plans of operation. Our readers will easily discern that, although much interest must naturally attach to these discussions, the points of chief importance will in any case be secured. We shall obtain an unpolluted river and a scientific sys tem of sewerage ; but it is not to be forgotten that even these advantages will lose much of their value unless the drainage of particular dwellings is placed upon a better footing. It is clearly of no use to have a good tunnel sewer, unless the house drains of all districts are made to avail themselves of the outfall. At present we not only have no sadsfactory outfall, but many dwellings have no communication even with the sewers which actually exist. At the Court of the Commission held on Tuesday last the chairman observed that the number of houses " drained into sewers "—that is, brought for the first time into connexion with the sewers of the district—was at the rate of about 20,000 every year, of which cases as many as 7,000 were the result of compulsion. Very many houses, however, including, as Sir J. Shelley observed, " some of the best in Grosvenor square," have still cess-pools under them, and as long as such a practice is maintained it will be of little avail to provide general facilities for the escape of district sewage. It is of no use purifying either street or river if the very dwellings in which we reside are kept impure. Without the main drainage scheme we cannot possibly have good local drainage ; but unless local drainage is also reformed the advantages of the new system will be lost. Both warnings and examples are now before us. Pestilence has but just departed from our doors, and we cannot tell at what moment it may return. Amid all the mystery attending its ravages this alone seems clear, that in pro portion as wretchedness and dirt are superseded by cleanliness and comfort the plague is disarmed of its terrors. We are now blessed with a respite and an op portunity, let us turn them to such account for all classes of people as becomes reasonable beings and Christian men.—Times. CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

" My Lord,—As an old inhabitant of Finsbury Circus, I beg to call your Lordship's attention to an in tolerable smoke nuisance, arising from the premises of Messrs. Waterlow and Co., of London-wall, from which the whole neighbourhood is rendered extremely uncom fortable, and the circus is generally filled with it. It is obvious to the police, but I believe they do not like to interfere, because Waterlow is one of the big men of the council.

" Up to the present stage I take for granted that you have pursued the same course that has been adopted in the very numerous cases in which informations have been laid by the commissioners of police of the metropolis— that is to say, that you first satisfied yourself as a matter of fact that the furnace was used at the place in ques tion, not constructed, &c., without using, &c.

She met him at the Golden Gate Saloon— the crowd, who were on the qui wive, following in her footsteps. Lola struck at the editor with her whip, but he caught and wrested it from her before she could hit him a blow. She then applied woman's best weapon —her tongue. Meanwhile, her antagonist con tented himself with keeping most insultingly cool. Find ing all her endeavours powerless, the divine Lola' ap pealed to the miners, but the only response rendered was a shout of laughter. Mr. Shipley, the editor, then triumphantly retired, having by his calmness completely worn out his fair enemy. The immediate cause of thefra- CEng was the appearance of sundry articles regardine , the Lola - Montes-like insolence and effrontery of the Queen of Spain.' The entire scene was decidedly rich." Lola in her own account of the affair, says—"l went forth— strong in the principles, as I have said, of Miss Lucy Stone and other strong.minded females—found this re doubtable man in the saloon, and as quick as a flash of lightning laid the said whip on his shoulder and bead four times, on my word of honour, before my enemy could remember that he was sitting on a chair.

S LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Jan. 17. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanquo.) IN RE DAVID LEOPOLD LEWIS. This was the first meeting, for proof of debts and choice of assignees, in the bankruptcy of David Leopold Lewis, described as a merchant, of Salters'-hall-court, Cannon-street, but whose principal dealings had been as a discounter of bills. Mr. Chidley tendered a proof for 2,5001. on behalf of Mr. Mould, on account of the bankrupt's dishonoured drafts upon Mr. Hudson, M.P. The proof was admitted. Mr. M'Leod tendered a proof for 53,1901. on behalf of the assignees of George Hennett. There had been a judgment for 63,0001., but some proceedings were now pending in Chancery. Mr. Lewis had said that he was only the agent of Mr. ITennett, and that though there might be a legal claim, there was no right in equity. Mr. Bagley, for the bankrupt, said that there was no admission on his part of the debt. The bankruptcy was on his own petition, and he was willing to abide by the decision of the court on this claim. His Honour said he would admit the proof, subject to investigation, to be turned into an absolute proof unless impeached before the first dividend. Mr. Lucette tendered a proof for 25,500/. on account of the bankrupt's drafts on Mr. Hudson, M. P. Mr. Lucette was sworn, and stated that he was a sharebroker, and had been so for seven years. He had had many transactions with Mr. Mackenzie in respect to bills and Westminster Improvement Bonds. Mr. Lewis's name was on some of the bills. The money was lent to Mr. Mackenzie on Lewis's bills. He had an account with the London and County Bank. He made the ad vances in the shape of short bills. He had not these short bills merely as the agent cf Mackenzie, to get them discounted. No other person was interested in the bills. They were not lent to him for the purpose of enabling him to make a proof against the estate. The bills might or might not have been in his possession a week ago. The Commissioner— Might or might not is no answer. Were they I Witness—They were. After some further questions, 1113 ITnnanr oriffir.iartf 1,1,1 boor, Elincvn to in. duce him not to admit the proof until after the choice of assignees. Mr. Chidlcy said there had been transactions to the amount of thousands, he might say hundreds of thou sands, between the bankrupt and Mr. Mackenzie. The latter did not wish to come forward to prove, as this would lead to a► public inVestigation. He was connected with the bankrupt, and the object was to got the choice into his own hands. Some other proofs were tendered and disposed of in a similar way. Mr. Henry Taylor, of South-street, Finsbury, a cre• ditor for 5,0001., was then appointed trade assignee, and Mr. Chidley the solicitor in the case. The debts proved during the day amounted to about 9,0001. ; the total liabilities are said to exceed 150,000/. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.) IN RE RICHARD FLEXMORE. This insolvent, who described himself as a comedian and professor of dancing, applied under the Protection Act. Mr. Sargood supported. There was no opposition. The case was taken out of its turn, as it was stated that the insolvent had to return to Maxchester to per form in the evening. Mr. Commissioner Murphy examined the sekedule, and seeing no reason to refuse a day to he named for the final order, it was appointed for the 14th of March. Protection renewed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Itn. 17. MANSION-HOUSE. Duncan Maclean, TV; ight was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of a Liverpool officer, charged with forgery upon the house of Overend, Gurney, and Co., the money dealers. Mr. Vallinge, the solicitor of the firm, attended for the prosecution. Mr. William Shipman, clerk to the prosecutors, said —lt is part of my duty to open the letters addressed to the house. The following letter was receivod at our house on the 4th of November, and contained a bill of exchange for 1571. 2.. 3d., purporting to be drawn by WM. Anderson and Co., and accepted payable at Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co., bankers, in London, and not elsewhere, " John Moore and C 0.," dated Manchester, Oct. 23, 1854. " Moore, due 23d-26th Feb., 54, £157 2s. 3d. " 16, Dawber-street, Liverpool, 34 Nov., 1851. "Gentlemen,—lf agreeable to diszonnt the enclosed, please send me the proceeds at a moderate rate, in half notes, and oblige, " R,espeetfully, your most obedient servant, "D. M. WRXGEIT. " Messrs. Overond, Gurney, and Co., London." In consequence of that letter we wrote a letter to the writer of the first letter, in which the bill of exchange was returned ; and it was stated to be contrary to the practice of the house to discount any bills without an introduction. Afterwards, on the 6'.h of November, I i o n pe e n r e ro d r. the following letter, which d w o a i s isT d o tt , %d, be l r b : Llieve t h A, 4f l4 f ugq°kTi,, i 'll t grpool, 4th Oct., 1 , 54. "Messrs. Ovorend, Gurney, and Co., " Gentlemen—ln reply to yCeirs of this date, although my discounts with you have never been of much magnitude they have been over the space of twenty years or more. I thought P might hnvo been personally known in your office, where I have frequently done business. " I might refer to introductions I have given to your firm in favour of others, such as Christian, Allbousen, and Co., of Newcastle. Ilaviag been abroad for the last four years, my correspondence, &c., naturally ceased. I give an opportunity of calling me again to your recollection by returning for discount the enclosed 1571.25. 3d., for which send me, if quite agreeable, notes for 1501. and cheque on Barclays for the balance. I have lately opened a cerred poadence with Messrs. Leonino Brothers for foreign busi ness. I presume their paper would at all times be accept able to you; and am, respectfully, your most i tobdt. servt., " D. M. WRIGUIT. "Need I revert to the year 1825, and ten years after wards, when I was cashier to your old correspondent A.T., at Glasgow ?" That letter contained the same bill which had been re turned in the previous letter, in consequence of which eur house discounted the bill, and forwarded the sum of 1501., in half Bank of England notes, in two envelopes, and a draft on a banker for 41. lls. id., the balance of the bill less the' discount, which were addressed to Mr. D. M. Wright, 16, Daxvber-street, Liverpool. The draft produced is that which was so sent. On the Bth of November I received a letter, dated the Bth of No vember, and signed "D. M. Wright," acknowledging the receipt of the enclosures. Mr. Joseph Henry Dickinson, merchant at Liverpool, said—l am a partner in the house of John B. Moore and Company. The acceptances to the bills produced for -1571.25. 3d., and 2941. 16s. 3d. (a second bill then pro duced), are not in my handwriting, nor in that of my partner, nor was either written by our authenity. There is no other house in Liverpool which trades under the name, that I have over heard of. We make our bills payable at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s, in London. I know the prisoner, but have not had any transaction with him on his own account, that I knew of. I do not know such a firm as William Anderson and Co., Man chester. When I knew the prisoner ha was clerk or agent to a mercamtile house. I wa3 before a magistrate in Liverpool on that subject, and (as our reporter under stood the witness) gave evidence there. jehn Sullivan, detective officer, of Liverpool, said— I apprehended the prisoner at No. 16, Dawber-street, Liverpool, on the 10th inst., without a warrant, on a charge of forging a bill for 2941. 163. 3d., which sum I mentioned to him. He told me to ask him no questions, and he would tell me no lies. I asked him his name, and he said it was Duncan Wright ; and next day he was taken before one of the borough magistrates, and another bill was then produced before the magistrate, by Mr. Dickinson, namely, for 1571. 2s. 3d., which is the bill produced here in the first instance. The magis trate's clerk then asked the prisoner in my presence if he had anything to say to the charge, and the prisoner said the bills were forgeries, and that he had forged them. This statement was not taken down in writing at the time. The Lord BLayor was about to remand the prisoner, when Mr. Dickinson requested to be informed whether it would be necessary for him to come again from Liver- Pool in order to give evidence before his lordship The Lord Mayor said it was really difficult for him to comprehend the course adopted by the magistrate before whom the case was originally brought. That magistrate either had or had not jurisdiction in the matter. If the magistrate had the powers which the Forgery A.ct seemed to give him, the prisoner ought not to have been brought to London, by which course considerable expense must be incurred in the con duct of the prosecution. If, on the contrary, the case did not come within the jurisdiction of the magistrate, the recent act of Parliament laid down the course to be taken, and therefore Mr. Dickinson's attendance would have beon unnecessary, as his evidence should have been taken at Liverpool, and forwarded to London. The prisoner —If it will save any trouble to any one, I admit the guilt I am charged with. The Lord Mayor then directed that the depositions should be made out, and said he would commit the pri soner for trial at the Central Criminal Court. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would ac knowledge his receipt of 101. from "T. and C 0.," and 1/. from John Butterfield, for the pilor-lsox. GITILDHALL.-27tontas Arthur Corlett, dressed in the height of the go-a-head fashion, was placed at the bar boiore Alderman Cubitt, charged with fraud. A. gentlemen wh o attended on behalf of the Electric Telegraph Company, having briefly stated the nature of the charge, said this was a very serious case, inasmuch as the prisoner had stolen about 30 money orders for various amounts, and the money he received for them he had appropriated to his own use. i'hineas David Collins said—l um clerk to Messrs. Hooper and Baker, of ]2, Eastcheap. On the 4th Nov. last I delivered a - message at the Electric Telegraph office, in Lothbury, to bo transmitted to Mr. James Dalton, at Bores, near Colchester. I paid ls. fur the message, and a s the clerk did not know the distance be tween Buren and Colchester, I deposited 9s. to cover the expenses for porterage. Having subsequently ascer tained that the porterage did not amount to more than is., I made application on the 20th anecember for the return of the Bs. overplus. On the 29th of December we received an order for Bs. 6d. from the company, which was paid to me at their office iu Lothbury on the same day. Mr. Thomas Baker—l wrote to the company several times between the 4th of Nov. and the 20th Dec., about the cvercharge for porterage, and on the latter day I directed Collins to call about it, the consequence of which was that I received an order for 82. 6d., on the 29th of Dec., and that was the only sum I received from tho company. Mr. Henry Schuetz3 Wilson, assistant-secretary to the-Electrio Telegraph Company, said—lt is my duty to attend to all complaints relative to overcharge. I remember Messrs. Hooper and Baker claiming the return of Be. in November last. I made inquiries, and findling that only 6d. had been paid for porterage, I made out an order for Bs. 6d. payable at any of the company's offices. I then gave the order and a letter of explanation, written by the prisoner by my di rection, and addressed to Messrs. Hooper and Baker, to the prisoner, whose duty it was to see the letter copied into the letter book, and then to enclose the order and letter in an envelope and give it to the posting clerk for delivery. On the 20th of December I received another application from Messrs. Hooper and Baker on the same subject, but' as the prisoner absented himself from the office it was not attended to until the 24th, when I went to a drawer used by the prisoner to look over his papers in order to forward the busint ss in his absence. To my surprise I found the letter addressed to Messrs. Hooper and Baker, but the order for Bs. 6d. was not with it. I immediately inquired why the letter had not been sent, and discovered that the order had been paid at the counter to the prisoner. I then wrote another order, which was paid to Messrs. Hooper and Baker's clerk. The order produced is the original order I wrote and gave to the prisoner. Mr. Cadman said—l am clerk at the counter of the Electric Telegraph Office in Lothbury. On the evening of the 27th of November last the prisoner presented the order for Bs. 6d. produced, and I paid him that amount. The memorandum "taken by me to give explanation," which appears at the foot of the order is in the prisoner's writing, but it was written before he presented it. Mr. Baker here said I have not received any explana tions from the prisoner relative to the first order. Packman, a detective officer, said—l apprehended the prisoner 'on Saturday evening last, at 15, Cadogan-ter race, Chelsea. I told him I wanted him on a cllarge of receiving 10s. to send to Lady Clifton and not doing so. He said he had seen the secretary of the company, and he understood if he paid the money he would not be prose cuted. When leaving the house he said, " This is just what I expected." The solicitor for the prosecution here applied for a remand as he was mot yet prepared to go into the other cases. The prisoner, who appeared not in the least abashed at being placed in such a degrading position was then re manded. CLERKENWELL—WiIIiam, Barker was charged with a murderous assault on his wife. The complainant, a poorly clad woman, said—l have been married for eight years to the defendant. Yester day morning he most cruelly struck me on the head with his fist, and knocked me down, and whilst I was on the ground he kicked me in the stomach and on my breast. I now feel most dreadful pain. After he had kicked me and nearly made me senseless, he seized me by the hair of my head, dragged me out of the room, and threw me down a. whole flight of stairs, and I would have gone down the second flight only a woman was standing in the lobby and stopped me. (The corn plainant here produced an old but well-used knife, it appeared a formidable weapon, and was sharp at the point from frequent use and cleaning.) Yesterday morning, before he struck me first, he attempted to stick this knife in my throat, and when I held up my right hand to ward off the blow the knife cut my wrist. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Has any surgeon seen your wound ? Complainant—No, sir, I put some ointment on it my self, but I feel so weak in my breast that after I leave here I will go:to the hospital. Mr. Turner, warrant officer—Your worship, after the complainant took out the warrant yesterday the went to a public-house in which the defendant was, and she scratched his face as you see it. (The man had the visible effects of nails on his countenance.) Mr. Tyrwhitt—How did that happen ? Complainant—Why, your worship, after I left here, I went home ; I found my children without anything to eat, and knowing where my husband was, I sent a neigh bour to ask him 'for some money to get bread for them. He told her that she was to tell me that he bad spent Gs. sd. that day to himself, but giving the woman 14d. told her to buy "tarts" for the children. Feeling aggra vated, I did go to ask him what he meant, when he told me to go and obtain money as all women could, and used other filthy language towards me, so that I did scratch his face. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What is your husband, and what money does he give you to support your family 7 Complainant—He is a cab-driver, and has only given ins 10d. for the last three days, and when he beat me I had neither fire nor victuals in the house. The 'defendant here said that his wife was a most dreadful temper, and ho had witnesses to prove that she had provoked him and others to assault her. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Bat in any way her conduct would not warrant you in using a knife or kicking her. I must re mand yon until a medical man decides the state in which your wife is from your most brutal conduct. The defendant, who is of a most repulsive aspect, was then removed. Ho was scarcely out of the court before two parties slipped forward and asked if the charge was 'not bailable. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Certainly the misdeamenour is bail- OA, he has used a knife, and the kick on the breast may produce a cancer, I don't feel warranted in giving any leniency to the defendant for an offence that may turn out to be a felony. THE POOR Box.-11. S. has sent 10s. in postage stamps, and K. Q. ss. in postage stamps, the latter to by applied for the use of Garford's children. BRIGHTON COUNTY BENCH. (Front the Brighton Gazette.) On Monday, at the Brighton Town Hall, before Mr. Carpenter, and Mr. T. J. Bellamy, magistrates, Louisa Humphreys preferred a charge of assault 'against Lady Boughton, who resides in Brunswick-square, and with whom the complainant stated that she had resided ar lady's maid for some months. The complainant was re• presented by Mr. C-. Faithful], jun. ; the defendant, who was not in court, by Mr. Lamb. Mr. Faithfull, in addressing the bench on the part of the complainant, said he understood that she had been only a short time in the service of Lady Boughton ar lady's maid, and the complaint she had to make was that Lady Boughton had committed an unprovoked assault upon her on the 3d inst. There was no doubt that looking at the relative positions in life of the complainant and the defendant, there might be some difficulty in dealing with the case ; bat if any feeling of sympathy was to be enlisted on either side, it ought to be on the side of his client, and if he should prove that the assault had be3h . committed, the social position of the defendank would be an aggravation, rather than otherwise, of the offence. He felt satisfied that if his client had committed an assault upon a lady in her bedroom, it would have been clear that a lady ought to be protected from the violence of her servants ; and he thought that the sam , amount of justice ought to be meted out to the servant. Mr. Bellamy—l think Lady Boughton ought to be here. It is always a rule for defendants to be in attend. ance. Mr. Faithfull said it was not compulsory for her lady ship to be present. Mr. Carpenter—lt is not the practice in this court for the defendant to be present, provided the party appears by a solicitor. Mr. Bellamy—l beg pardon ;it is the practice. I have been in the commission 30 years ; and I ought to know. Mr. Faithfull—l wish her ladyship was hero. Complainant examined—l am lady's maid to Lady Boughton. I have been in her service four months yesterday, and I am to leave in a week. I recollect Wednesday, the 3d of January. Lady Boughton, on that morning:, rang for me at half-past nine, fur the purpose of assisting her to dress. I went imnie dia'ely. After some little conversation on indifferent subjects, Lady Boughton said, "If I had known you came from a low lodging-house, or a house of call, you should never have entered into my service." She then referred to a house in Teniple.street, where my sister and brother in-law live ; and they have an elderly lady lodging with them. I told Lady Broughton that my sister hail one lady lodging with her, and that she 'was perfectly respectable. Lady Broughton "imtne diately replied, " A lady, not a gentlewoman ; a lady, I perfectly understand what that means." I then re ferred her to Mr. George Wagner, the clergyman of the district, who was well acquainted with the lady lodging with my sister. Upon this she ordered me to leave the room ; but before I had time to do so sho struck rae three times on my breast and shoulders with con siderable force. I gave her no provocation whatever. When I entered Lady Boughton's service, I went with the highest character. Mr. Lamb—l believe you had notice to quit from Lady Boughton. Complainant—l had. Had she not had reason to complain of your conduct ? —I asked her to assign a reason ; but I was answered by her saying that I must not ask questions. Had she not had reason to complain of year mode of dressing ?—She had no reason ; but she did complain. No matter what I wore, the cap was stinking, the dress was stinking, and she. called me ugly eyes, and told me to keep my ugly head out of her sight—(a laugh) —and if she heard my voice, she would call out, "Is that m y maid ? I supp ose s h e fancies she is in her sister's low lodging-house." On the morning of the alleged assault, what was the first- part of the conversation I—She complained that my dress was in the low loding•house condition. In consequence of the impertinence of your reply, in answering something that was said to you, did she not tell you to leave the room /—She did not give me time to do so. Did you not refuse to leave the room ?—I had no time to do so. Was not Lady Boughton compelled to ring for an other servant, in consequence of your refusal to leave the room I—Not till she had inflicted the blows upon me. Mr. Lamb, in addressing the bench for the defendant, said her ladyship had had occasion more than once to complain of the manner in which her maid dressed, and told her, she ought to dress herself in a different man ner; and when she spoke to Fier about her dress on the morning in question the complainant said something offensive, and defendant then told her to leave the room, and at the same time rang the bell for another servant. As 'far as he was instructed, her ladyship had not the least conception or the remotest idea of lifting her hand against her maid:" Mr. Carpenter said, in ordinary cases, such a charge, in all probability, would have been dismissed, or, at all events, a very low fine would have been inflicted, so low, perhaps, as 6d. ; but, in Lady Boughton's WO ; we must make the fine lt, and the costs.
