POLICE 111 7 rELLIGENOE.—( MM . flay.) BOW-STREET.I Tun HOLBORN MURDER,—William Cogan was this morning placed before Mr. Henry, charged with the wilful murder of his wife, Mary Ann Stokes Cogan, by cutting her throat with a razor. • Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended for the . accused. On entering the court Cogan was "accommodated with - a' chair, and ,after'saying " Good morning" to his solicitor he assumed an easy position, and appeared to watch the diffe rent witnesses as they gave their evidence with great :in terest. The witnesses examined were Mr. Paynter, the surgeon, who examined the body of the deceased ; Mr. Fortescue, house surgeon, of King's College Hospital ; Inspector Mackenzie, ttud Sarah Harwood, sister of the deceased ; Police -constables 144 F and 36 F, who severally repeated the evidenc,they gave a t th e coroner:s inquest, and which appeared in the late edition of The Sivn. last evening. The observations the prisoner made to the censtAle 144 F previons to the murder, when he was met in Holborn, coca .sioned Mr. Lewis to cross-examine the man, but without shaking his evidence in the least. He remained positively certain that the words Cogan said, when he met him after quarrelling with his, wife on the first occasion, were " I'll have no more of this; I'll settle it to-night or to-morrow." The second time he saw him he (Cogan), being unable to speak, nodded when he was asked " Have you cut your wife." The Constable, however, said when he first saw Cogan he did not anticipate that he intended the slightest violence to his wife. Police-constable F 82, in the course of his examination, said he omitted to state yesterday, before the coroner, that when he saw Cogan in the hospital he (the constable), put ting his hand up to his throat, asked the prisoner whether he had served his wife as he had served himself, and he nodded assent. In cross-examination, he said the reason he had omitted to mention that circumstance to the coroner was because it slipped his memory. He, however, men tioned the circumstance to Inspector Mackenzie when he first saw him after the occurrence. _ The statement taken from the witness was here handed to Mr. Lewis, who, after reading it, said the words did not appear. While Inspector Mackenzie was describing the appear ance of the room on the discovery of the murder, the pri soner seemed to watch him with great anxiety, and every now and then applied his handkerchief to his forehead ; but on the whole during the examination his manner was quiet and attentive. At the termination of the examination of the witnesses, The prisoner was cautioned in the usual manner, and asked what he had to say in answer to the charge. He denied killing his wife. The depositions were then read over, aid the magistrate fully committed Cogan to take his trial for wilful murder. The crowd outside the Police -court and Station-house during the whole 'of the day was immense. At an early hour most of the inhabitants of Newton-street and the surrounding neighbourhood, chiefly• costermongers, commenced assembling in Bow-street, as it was well known that the prisciner Cogan would have to cross the road in passing from the station to the court. Before the prisoner was brought out about 20 or 30 constables made a clear way, and then Cogan, accom panied by Inspector Mackenzie and several other officers, walked to the Police-court ; the crowd behaving in 'a much more orderly manner than was expected. During the whole of the time the prisoner was under examination tke people remained collected outside, the majority having made up their minds to witness his departure in the prison van. ~---~+ MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER CHARGED WITH STEAL ING VlOLlNS.—Harriet Louisa Williams and Sarah Wil liams, mother and daughter, living at 10, Grafton-street, were charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing several violins and bows, the property of Mr. Charles Theress, violin maker, of 39, King-street, Soho ; the elder prisoner Sarah being also charged with receiving the same. Mr. Theress said the younger prisoner Harriett had been his servant, al d a week after she entered he missed several violins. Passing through Crown court he saw one at the shop of a broker named Jesse Goodchild, and in conse quence of what that person told him he went with Ser geant Cole to the elder prisoner's residence, and found some more violins and bows. Jesse Goodchild said one day last week, the elder pri soner brought him two duplicates of two violins, and asked him to purchase them, He bought them, giving Is. 6cl. for the duplicates. He did not ask her where she got them, but on her coming a day or two after, and remarking that she had a lot of them, she said that she had been in busi ness, and much better off. She said on the second occasion, when she brought two more duplicates, that she would bring the ticket of &fine harp. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he went to the prisoners' lodg ings, 10, Grafton-street, Soho, and found them both there, the younger being in bed. He asked the elder prisoner whether she had sold any duplicates of violins latterly, and she sail, "No, and never saw any." He then asked her whether she had had any violins, and she said no. He then took her to Crown-court, and as soon as she got to the last witness's shop she said, winking her eye, " Did I bring you any tickets ?" and the last witness said at once, "Yes, you brought four last week." He then took both prisoners into custody. The elder prisoner said, " What was I to -do ; my daughter brought them home, and I had to get rid of them somehower the other. I could not keep them in: the house, or the father would have aeon them,!' The prisoners, who made no defence, were then com mitted for trial. THAMES. DESPERATE FIGHT IN A PUBLIC -HOUSE.—Mary Ann West and a foreign seaman, named Constantine Varsilles, were charged with committing a murderous assault upon Mary Ann Ramsden, in the Crown and Anchor, St. George's-in-the-East. The complainant is a common prostitute, and so is the female prisoner, and the male prisoner was an associate of the two females. A quarrel ensued between the two females, when Varsilles rushed be tween them, and according to the evidence of several wit nesses the man must have struck complainant on the head with a key and inflicted a serious injury. Each person's face exhibitel unmistakeable scratches, and other acts of violence, and it seemed that both the females were equally to blame. The prisoner West was discharged, but the seaman was fined 50s. or a month's imprisonment with hard labour. ROBBERY AT A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—A man, who gave the name of John Smith, was fined ss. for stealing from the Prince of Wales, North-street, a quantity of pieces of cloth, the property of Mr. James Flower, the landlord. The prisoner pleaded distress as an excuse, and the magi strate fined him ss. for the unlawful possession, or seven days' imprisonment with hard labour. A DANGEROUS DRUNKEN WOMAN.—Catherine O'Brien was charged by Alice Harris, of 4, East Smithfield, with wanton destruction of prvetty, by throwing an apple through the window of a cigar shop she kept, whilst in a state of drunkenness. The police said the prisoner was the co pleto terror of the neighbourhood. The prisoner was fined 65., or seven days' imprisonment. SACKING A HAIRDRESSER'S SHOP.—An ill-looking fellow, named George Wells, was charged by Mr. William Manley, a hairdresser, of No. 20f, Fieldgate-street, with having, on the 7th of June last, during the temporary absence of his master, stolen the whole of his stock of razors, scissors, towels, and a quantity of tobacco (the prosecutor being also a tobacconist). He came to the prosecutor's shop on Tuesday evening last, and offered to work out the amount of the property he had sto!en. This offer was refused, and he was given into custody. Mr. Alfred Treaden, another hairdresser, also proved that the prisoner had stolen, whilst in bis employment, a coat and waistcoat belonging to him. The prisoner denied the charge, and he was fully com mitted for trial. FAILURES ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.—The Stock Exchange was thrown into considerable confusion yesterday by the announcement of the failure of a hitherto very influential dealer, who enjoyed excellent credit and reputation. It was known that the defaulter's father— also a member of the house, though ho rarely attends there —had placed £30,000 Consols in the name of his son, a circumstance which caused great confidence to be placed in him. His dealings were large, and as he was considered perfectly safe, the various brokers readily transacted busi ness with him. It is understood, however, that that stock no longer stands in the son's name. The effect produced by the announcement was the failure of about eight other dealers who had accounts with him, and differences to receive from him to-morrow. However unfavourable the features of this defalcation may appear, it shows that the strength of the dealers in the English market is not great, and that the effects of the ravages of 1859 have not yet been eradicated—although failures, owing to the rise, might have taken place independently of the one great cause above referred to. In consequence of the defalcation the prices of the English funds were in a very excited state ; and as the dealers were rendered short of stock, transac tions in Consols for immediate delivery became almost a matter of negotiation. It is thus that they are dealt in in some instances on the same terms for the October account as for delivery to-morrow, the money-jobbers being reluc tant to deal. When the excitement had somewhat subsided the market became rather flat.—Post City Article. A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DlRECTlON—Additional signal inspectors are about to be placed on the South Western line, so that the signal machinery on that line may be more frequently examined and reports of disarrangement promptly attendee to. Additional men are also to be employed in opening and shutting the railway gates on the line, in order that the men may not be so long on duty and liable to be come in consequence wearied and inattentive. ALL GONE. —The Elora Observer says :—A one dollar bill, of the Hamilton City Bank, No. 1854, and bearing date Ist April, 1801, recently came into our pos session, on the back of which was written the following mournful tale : "The last of a large fortune, and all gone for whiskey." (Signed) JAS. Foßunt. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE Tr EE the' Regtstrar-GeOrerei InekV R e b,;.„ .) The deaths 'registered in Lon don in the Week that ended last Saturday were 1,121, showing a slight decrease on the number in the previous w ee k, which - was 1,127. If the deaths from epidemic chdlera in thethirty-sixth week of 1854 are ex , cludediit will be found that the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding With 'last week wa5.1,056, which corrected or increase 'of popula tion will become 1,162. Hence it appears that the deaths of last week are less by 41 than the esti mated number. The mortality of London is below that expe rienced in other large cities of the world ; but the untimely age at death, as well as a comparison with the rate of mortality in other places in England, shows that there is still a great waste of life, which may be saved by the carrying out of sanatory mea sures: The deaths from zymotic diseases were 349. Under this head are included 8 deaths from measle*, 47 :from: whooping-cough, 48 from scarlatina, 11 from diphtheria, 147 from diarrhoea, and 12 from cholera or choleraic diarrhoea. A labourer, aged 61 years, died at the work house, Battersea, of " cholera, 4. days, fever 11 days." The wife of a labourer died at 12, Snow's rcnts, Westminster, of " choleraic diarrhcea," A master confectioner, aged 41, residing at 24, Bol ingbroke-street, Walworth, died from " choleraic diarrhoea, 3 days, gangrmna, 12 hours." Three infants died at 2, Dean's-buildings, Walworth, of " choleraic diarrhoea:' A musician, aged 65 years, died at '24, Surrey-street, Borough-road, from " choleraic diarrhoea, debility." A shirt-maker. aged 34, died at the workhouse, Borough-road, from " privation," she had previously resided at 60, Webber-street. Of 7 nonagenarians whose deaths are recorded in the week, the eldest was a widow, who had attained the age of 95 years. • Last week the births of 871 boys and 897 girls, in all 1,768 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851.60 the average number was 1,598, At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.776 inches. The barometrical readings rose to 30.06 inc'aes on Sunday, and fell to 29.61 inches on Tues day and Friday. The mean temperature of the air' in the week was 62 4 degs., which is 4.0 , above the average of the same week in43years (as determined by Mr, Glaisher.) The highest point attained by the thermometer in the shade was 81.1 deg. on Sunday, and on Saturday it fell to 49.8 degs., the lowest in the week. The extreme range of the week was therefore 31.3 degs. The difference be twen the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.9 degs. The mean degree of humidity of - the air was 77, complete saturation being represented by 100. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 65.0 degs. The general direction. of the wind was south-west. IRON-CLAD .SHIPS. Ten years ago it, was proposed to exclude a model gun from the Great Exhibition, on the ground that instruments of war were unbecoming, if not obsolete, illustrations of industry and science. How strangely opinions have since been revolutionised•may be seen from our daily reports of the discussions at Man phester. In that central 4e4 of pacific and econo mical doctrines an Association assembled for the encOuragenient of scientific researches, and the regis tration of scientific discoveries finds itself compelled by the very force of circumstances to concentrate its attention on the machines of modern warfare. Artillery, armour, irohcased ships, rifled cannon, elongated projectiles, and irresistible shot—these are the topics of the - British Association in 1861. There was, indeed, no help for it. The develop ment of mechanical science is in that direction. Armstrong and Whitworth have succeeded to Ark wright and Watt. The problem before us is so momentous and the tasks of such infinite importance that the efforts of our best intellects must needs be engaged in working out the question at issue. The opening address of the President put the case in a few pregnant words. The days, said he, of Eng land's wooden walls were apparently numbered. Walls, however, we must have, if not of wood, of some other material, and the character of our new bulwarks is what has now to be determined. The eminent authorities who have spoken on this sub ject at :Manchester have placed the public under great obligations to them, bat at present it is easier to delineate the ramifications of the question than to approach to anything like a solution. The first blow was dealt against the old-fashioned navies of the world when shells filled with com bustibles were added to the projectiles formerly in use. As soon as it became certain that a few minutes would suffice to set any ship in flames, it was evident that a revolution in naval warfare was at hand. The disaster to the Turkish fleet at Sinope gave the earliest example of the new powers of attack, and the floating batteries at Kinburn followed with the first essay of the new resources of defence. After the lapse of a year or two the Gloire suddenly appeared, and, in the pardonable boast of our neighbours, "took possession of the seas." It was indeed clear that, however distant that vessel might be from perfection, she was incom parably superior to any wooden ship afloat, and we had no option but to follow in the wake of our rivals. We have now beaten the Gloire with the Warrior, but we have learnt by our own experiments that the Warrior can be surpassed; and the question is, what must be the nature of the model with which at any rate for a time we may afford to content our selves. The papers successively read at Manchester will have shown the uncertainty in which, at every point, this question is still involved. That ships of warmust for the future be protected by iron armour is admitted, but that axiom will carry us only a short distanceon our way. It is not yet decided what thickness can or should be given to this iron, nor how the armour-plates should be attached to the vessel's sides, nor at what angle the sides should be inclined, nor of what material the body of the ship should consist. Hitherto a specially constructed frame of teak has been cased with so many inches of iron, and this wooden backing has been held to constitute an important element in the strength of the structure. Teak, however, is ponde rous, and if it could be dispensed with its weight could be added to that of the iron, so that a ship would be all armour. For instance, the sides of the Warrior are 2ft. 3in. in thickness—about as thick, in fact, as the walls of an old Norman castle ; but 22 inches of this depth are timber ; and the question is whether if this enormous muss of woodwork were replaced by a corresponding weight in the thickness of the iron the vessel would not be the better for the change. Then, it has been proved that the manner in which the armour-plates are attached to the ship and to each other is of the greatest importance in de termining their power of resistance to shot, while we have very recently said enough to show how much may depend upon the angle of inclination. That the quality of the iron employed is also of great consequence we need not say, though Mr. Fairbairn will rather surprise the public by his remark that British specimens have been found rather inferior to those of foreign countries. After all these considerations, however, comes another which may, perhaps, be found to govern the rest. Speed, in the case before us, is equivalent to power. The quicker ship of two may expect to win; for, if unable to engage her adver sary, she can escape from her; while if she carries a heavy gun or two she may, by selecting her position, batter her more powerful antagonist with probable impunity. It is asked, therefore, whether small vessels constructed to carry a few guns of large calibre would not be better than enormous ships like the Warrior; but an answer is ready. Small vessels are not necessarily faster than large ones, but rather the contrary. Still, the question is, whether a vessel larger than a gunboat, but smaller than the Warrior, might not be propelled at greater speed, though able to carry one or two of the heaviest cannon known. From these - interesting but rather indefinite speculations we may turn with a certain satisfac tion to the statement made by 'Mr. E. J. Reed of what our Admiralty has actually done, and what it is:now proposing to do. We cannot say the re sults are very gratifying, but at any rate the infor mation is precise, and we escape from the regi • ons of theory to the solid groun d o f f act. Of our four complete ironsides, two, the Defence and the Resistance, are already spoken of, notwithstanding the respectable performance just achieved by the former, as " not fit for the line of battle nor suit able for any other service than coast defence." They are already, in fact, shelved as " bloekships" —a curious proof of the rapidity with which we are advancing in our new career. The Warrior and her consort, the Black Prince, are far finer vessels—indeed, they are the finest afloat, and the Achilles, just laid down at Chatham, will apparently be exactly of the same class. Yet these ships will be only partially covered with armour, their extremities being left with mit protection, whereas Mr. Scott Russell, the originator of that plan, himself spoke of it only as an imperfec tion which could not at the time be avoided. The plating, he said, could not be continued from end to end without a large addition to the tonnage of the ship, and the Admiralty, Mr. Reed tells us, have accepted this condition in the six new ships now projected, which are to be com pletely cased with iron. Three of them have now been contracted for on those terms, though with an option on the part of the Admiralty o . f ordering either partly wooden or wholly iron sitles, u may a g results of pending experiments Although, however ; they will thus be o f g est. g reater .~~_~ tonnage than the Warrior, their engines are to be of no higher power, so that their speed must be . less, which is - an important - condition sacrificed. Again, if partial planting is to be thus discarded, end the .design of the Warrior so far condemned, wby is that design retained for the Achilles? Passing now from these genuine ironsides, we come to an inter niediate etas of Vessels suggested by the expediency of turning` to some account resources actually at our comthand, and augmenting our new fleet with the least possible delay. Five wooden ships, or rather frames of ships, are to be lengthened by a few feet beyond the original dimensions, and then plated with armour from end to end. They will not be so strong as the Warrior, but they will be far stnnger than a wooden line-of-battle ship, and we have got the timbers ready in our yards. We can measure their utility, however, by a better standard. These five rough-and-ready speci mens w ill, Mr, Reed assures us, be superior to the Gloire, a vessel of much the same original character, and, no remark could impress us more forcibly with the exigencies of this period of transition : The Model ship of 1860 is surpassed by the very makeshif ts o f 1861. Under circumstances so extraordinary a good d ea l may be excused, and Mr. Reed fairly app r i ses ns that such consideration.will be called for. He says that the very vessels which the Admiralty isibuild ing at this moment represent "a series of compro mises." Nobody can yet tell what principles to maintain, or what to reject. We are all in the dark, and yet we must needs go on, and at a heavy cost. We might congratulate ourselves, perhaps, on having got so good a thodel as the Warrior, were it not that she has never yet been to sea, and that a fac-simile of her sides is only now going to be tested. Let us hope, however, at any rate, that the elaborate discussion which the subject has re- ceived at Manchester may do something towards establishing sound conclusions.— Times. CHARGE OF SETTING FIRE 2'o A ROUSE. At the Lambeth Police-court yesterday Mr. Fre derick Clift, a quill merchant, late in the occupation of the house and premises No. 2, Lansdowne-villas, Harders-road, Peckham, and Mr. George Clift, his brother, were placed at the bar on a charge of set ting fire to the premises above referred to, with in tent to defraud the Globe Insurance Company. ' Mr. Kemp, the barrister, instructed by Messrs. Freshfield and Newman, appeared for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Gordon Allen, instructed by Mr. Bartley, for the prisoners. Mr. Kemp said that all he proposed doing on that day, as the priSoners had only just been ap prehended on his worship's warrant, Was to place before the bench sufficient evidence to justify him in asking for a remand. On a future day he should be prepared with the necessary witnesses to com plete the charge. Mr. John Pullin, the owner of several houses at Peckham, said that on the 14th of July last the pri soner Frederick Clift called on him in reference to a house, No. 2, Lensdowne-villas, Herders-road, Peckham, end proposed to takeit, giving as a reason for leaving his residence that he had not sufficient convenience in it for his horse and trap, and the witness agreed to let him the house at £3O per an num, and showed him the form of an agreement which he should request him to sign before taking possession of it. The prisoner consented to the course proposed, and paid half a:quarter's rent. On the fol lowing day the, key was delivered up to his brother, the other prisoner. The house was a semi-detached cottage three stories high, with two parlours sepa tated by folding-doors, two kitchens, a pantry, Bed. stable. At the time of his letting the house there was no communication between the pantry on ore:. side and the stable, which was close to it. He should not have sanctioned any communication, as it would have affected his insurance on the premises. The stable, when he let the premises, could only be entered from a yard in front, and_ had no communication with the house, The witness here went into a description of the pre mises and the property adjoining. He said that on the Ist of August he saw the house safe. On the following night it was burnt down. The ree,rn ing after the fire he went to the house, and not then notice anything particular; but on the follow ing day, the 3d, he saw that a doorway had been cut from the stable to the pantry, making a com munication from one to the other, and that it had been made in such a rough manner that it could not have been the work of a tradesmen who knew anything about his business. On th e morn i ng after the fire he saw both of the prisoners, and he re marked to them that he was quite surprised that the house should have been burnt, and that he should like to know something about it. Frederick said (both being present) that they were cut on business at Waltham Abbey at the time. The servant had left about a week before, and Mrs. Clift had been washing in the kitchen, when the child tumbled into a pan or tub. She had taken it to the house of Dr. Dennie, in Southampton-street, Camberwell, and the fire occurred during her absence. Witness re marked at the time that it was somewhat strarge she should go such a distance when she could have got a number of doctors on Peckham-rye. Mr. Elliott—Do you recollect what reply he made to that remark ? Witness—l really cannot recollect. I said the matter was much talked of, and that it was not believed in the neighbourhood the fire was acci dental. Frederick said that they should get into a great deal of trouble about their contract with Government for quills, and that they should have to go to Russia in search of quills, and perhaps not be able to get enough before Christmas. On the 13th of August I again saw the prisoners, and spoke about the door cut between the stable and pantry. Frederick Clift acknowledged that he had opened it two or three days after taking possession, being afraid of thieves; and I told him that by making the door he gave greater facility for their entering. The prisoner Frederick also said there were 60 sovereigns in the house, which he had intended to meet a bill; and I remarked that that was strange, as the ashes had been carefully sifted, and no gold —not even half a sovereign-- had been found among them. Mr. Frederick Mather Goodwin, a grocer, resid ing with his father at Nunhead, Peckham, said that on the night of the fire, about 20 minut es t o 10 , h e was standing'at his father's door, and saw the pri soner George Clift come past. In a few minutes after he heard the cry of " Fire," but thought it a. false alarm. He heard the cry repeated, and on going round the corner saw that the shed or stable belonging to the prisoners was on fire. He knocked repeatedly at the door, but no one answered. He then forced the back door, and made his way to the back parlour, which appeared to be on fire in one place, a sort of heap, and he pulled from it a piece of stuff which appeared to be matting or carpeting. The room seemed plainly furnished. In conclusion the witness said that on the 29th of July he was returning to town and met both the prisoners with a van laden with sacks filled, and feathers sticking out at the top. Police-constable Edward Cox, 213 P, said that a few minutes before the fire on the night in question. he saw a person, who he had very little doubt was the prisoner George Clift, come through a gap in the hedge close to the house consumed. A witness named Gallia also swore that at about the time in question he saw the same priseeter at the Nunhead publichouse, but that on seeing him he left imme diately. Mr. Fabon, a clerk in the Globe Insurance-office, said that on the 20th of July the prisoners called at the office and said they wished to effect an insur ance on a stock of quills of the value of £2,500, placed in a shed adjoining their dwelling. Frede rick Clift also said it was his wish to effect a second insurance on furniture of his, of the value of £3OO, placed at the house of his brother. The premises were surveyed and the policies of insurance granted on the 24th of JulyMvhen the premium was p a id. John Baxter, - a fireman belonging to the Waterloo -road station, deposed that on the 3d of August he was sent to take charge of the premises: Soon after the prisoners came there, and he (witness) asked them if they had been the occupiers of the premises ? Frederick replied that they had, and, turning to George, said, " This is my brother." They walked into the stable, where the quills were kept. Both said it would be their ruin, and that they had gone to Waltham Abbey on business and came away from there by the ten o'clock train. They said they were under heavy engagements to the Government, and would lose at least £3OO. They said nothing about 60 sovereigns being in the house when the fire took place. Mr. Kemp thought that evidence sufficient for his purpose bad been adduced, and, Mr. Elliott concu rr i ng , th e pr i soners wer e re manded to a future day. Mr. Allen made an application for the prisoners' release on bail, b u t it was refused.
