Mr. Henry Bradbury delivered a lecture on Friday night, at the Royal Institution, Albemarle-street, upon the " Manufacture of Bank Notes in connection with the subject of Forgery." The audience was numerous and distinguished ; the Duke of Northumberland presiding. Mr. H. Bradbury said it was his object principally to direct attention to the engraving, as the most important feature in the manufacture of bank notes, because upon that depends the security in the eyes of the public ; and the necessity for discussingethe question arose from the fact that forgery is on the increase ; that differences of opinion exist upon the best method to be employed to obviate it ; that facilities are growing up to assist for gery ; and that there is a tendency to employ that method of manufacture which is most exposed to the operations of the forger. A committee sat to inquire into the subject as far back as 1819, and bad their report been adopted the preseut state of things could never have arisen. That committee decided that each of the methods then in use—not dissimilar tothose of the present day—had their respective merits if carried to the high est result ; historical engraving, engine work, chaste and elaborate ornament, perfection of type, combined with stereotype ; and that the use of these, more or less, might be attended with success. This report was of great value then, and in these days is capable of great exten sion, as by the aid of a nice judgment, joined to artistic advantages that can now be commanded, a result may be attained, new, and of so high a character as to set it above the reach of forgery, by stamping upon the pro duction an individuality expressing qualities beyond the province of mechanical imitation. The main feature of the note, the engraving, and its security, depends upon the vignette ; the higher quality of the arestic impress, therefore, which this vignette carries, the greater the security of the note. The vignette derives its great value frein being the uncounterfeitable seal of the note—un ceunterfeitable, because its individuality cannot be imi. tated. However similar, there is a difference in the human countenance—however similar, there is a difference in handwriting, and if any number of the most eminent en• gravers were to endeavour to copy each other, it would be detected by a casual examination. The eye cf the bank ing clerk or the man of business would soon become expert at this sort of fine-art reading. This was proved in the case of the Plymouth Bank, half a century ago. Their bills were forged, there notes were not, simply on account ,of the vignette ; and when the vignette was added to the bias the forgeries ceased. Of the various methods of engraving, the choice lies more especially between intaglio and surface engraving ; between steel and copper plate or letter-press and wood engraving ; the first being pre-eminent for its beauty and adaptability to the production of bank notes. Ob jectians valid), urged against this method years age are now excluded ; cost and difficulty of. reproduction hav ing been overcome by the electrotype, which, in addition to its cheapness, gives a fixed oneness to the paper issue to a bank, however extensive it may be; which no cheapness or rapidity of production from letter press or surface engraving can counterbalance, notwithstanding the fact that the notes of the Bank ef England, and also of the Bank of France and the Bank of Russia, are pro duced from surface-engraved plates. In the engraving of the bank note two principles are involved for con sideration—the first, simplicity of design ; the second, the combination of vignette work with intricate engine work; and both these principles possess high claims to the attention of banking authorities as security against forgery—the one on account of the difficulty of mecha nical imitation, the other on the ground of a first-sight recognition. Simplicity of design, when it amounts to the character of high-class art, the lecturer regards as much the best for the issue of national notes ; for where variety of pattern and freaks of ornament distraet the attentoo, it is put more within the field of the imitator than when he has to contend with an ideality for which neither his education nor his pursuits are likely to fit him. By way of illustration Mr. Bradbury here submitted to the audience what (or something similar) should, in his opini n, be the representative note of a national bank, describing it as being as simple as a national note could with safety be, its attributes being individual unity simple and salient features, with due prominency of nu merical value, and a general character of a sort of me diaeval met. After explaining tie protective ceialities of, and ramie ing to objections against, this model note, Mr. Mr. Bradbury displayed a Bank of England note, and gave a brief account of its history, as follows : - The Bank of England note has always been Charac terised by simplicity, but carried to an extreme in the opposite direction, the same general design having been preserved from the issue of their first note. I have no objection, however, to submit, namely, that its simpla city is too simple, not bearing upon the face of it those features which characterise the true art-point. The vies nette is a specimen the reverse of what I have been ad vocating ; it is alike deficient in conception and execu tion. Surface-printing having been chosen as the me dium, the bank autnorities were restricted in the appli cation of their art. In consequence of this the Bank of Eneiand note in its present form is unworthy of the back and na ion. Th • great aim of the bank ha, been to secure simple identity and ready recognition, through the excellence of the paper, known by it, peculiar colour, by its thinness and transparency, as we'l as by its feel, crisp and tough, patent to the sense of touch alone. Toe basis of its security to the public rests upon its paper. It is supposed to be numatchabte. Such is the case in this country. Not because it cannot be imitated, but because the law affn-ds ample supervision to detect it—which is as good as preventing it. As successful imitations of this papei have been made abroad, and passed in this country, toe much reliance ought not to be placed upon this superi ority of the paper. Again, the fallacy of its security consists in the extreme facility it affords fur reproduction by hand, apart from reproduction afforded either by the Anastatic or Photographic processes. I have thought it only right to refer to these processes with reference to this note in particular, inasmuch as if the paper were procurable, a successful copy of the engraved parts might certainly he effected by the aid of photography. From 1837 to 1854 these notes were printed from steel plates, reproduced by the Siderographic or transfer processes. At the commencement of 1855 a change took place in the production of the notes by the sub stitution of surface-printing from electrotypes for steel plate printing. A variation was then made in the forni of the old note by d lopting an engraved signature in stead of a manual one—the object being still further to 'strengthen the identity of recognition. Mr. H. Bradbury then exhibited a specimen of simple note, bank of France, compared with a surface printed note of the same bank, admitting, however, that sim plicity of design is not to be advocated as solely applic able to a note in all instances. It is more especially suited for national notes, because immediate recognition should be one of their essential features, while for pro vincial notes, not having so wide a range of circulation, the complex note has peculiar advantages. Mr. Brad bury then glanced at complex engraving, which is per formed in two ways—relief and medallion work, guil -1 tells or rose-engine work—the one representing models on flat surfaces, the other lines, straight, waved, or carved ; circles, ellipses, parallel or intersecting, result ing in a particular effect; and exhibited specimens of production by both processes, describing the latter as bei ig at once more beautiful, less confused, and ac companied by more facilty of detection than tee former. Mr. Bradbury then exhibited specimens of a engine turned designs on glass," simple and complex, both of wh oh he conceived to combine beauty with security. and facility of recognition —a result not practicable to attain until the electrotype became a recognised agent in practical reproduction. Since the discovery of the elec trotype, efforts ha-1 been made in several cases to apply its perpetuating power to the reproduction of copper en cravings generally, but with no bettor result than signal failure; but the lecturer stated that an experiment as made a few months ago to establish in this country (it having !mg been in practical operation at Vienna) its practical as well as its economical adaptability. In this experiment 1,200,000 notes of the Brazilian Government, if very elaborate work, were printed from electrotype plates ; the means for future produ ttion still existing for printing as many million notes more as thousands had a ready been printed--and with this certainty that the last note printed shall be identical with the first. The lecturer then described' Siderographic bank-note printing, as being a process for transferring figures f rom steel to s t ee l, and thus multiplying the number of places to be printed from. It consists in taking up an en- Jamie(' plate upon a roller of softened steel, a ceinbina :ion of rolling and pressure, so that the engraved sub 'set stands in relief upon the roller, which then under goes a process of rehardening, and the sill ject in relief is then, by rolling and pressure, transferred to a surface of steel, softened to receive it. The objections to this plan are, that every subject so transferred neat he re touched by the graver, that it is inapplicable te tte manufacture of complex notes, that it is not economical, and that it is doubtful whether it secures identity. Still it bas been in use air .10 years in America, and was, in fact, an American invention. The lecturer then exhibited specimens of Brazilian, American, Austrian, Prussian, and Russian notes, re marking in succession upon their faults of design and execution, and proceeded to deal with the most difficult part of the question, security of manufacture, glancing first at the Anastatic process as, in suppo sition, applicab:e to forgery, and suggesting as the best and simplest way of obviating the danger the adoption of copper plate and very fine work. Ten comes photography, by which copies of bank notes have certainly been produced, but not to an extent to be considered dangerous, as the copies were imperfect, as ther e was a failure in appearance generally. But photo graphy has made advances, and is now capable of pro ducing more serious results by means of a printing-plate. Both in th e case o f the Anastatic and the photographic processes, the antidote consists in the adoption of print ,ltngnatentadtiiffeeorrentlrlours ; for in . attempting to take an the separationP of the copy of a c enpound note, cannot be effectede two ' printings, in different colours,' andthem without destroying tee combined w tr o an rk sf i e n r g ; in colour isorreenelaborate and artistic the second J r t i l l, the more the difficulty of dissection is increased. by excellence of art and eng;rabevui:n °trhgeenabliet should lie water-mark were backed the imperativebank n ote committee to resolve this question, this should b 3 found on the Governmentnh e ot r e t o g a b r e de t i h l e a s i c n a u s n e f , and offer a reward for its solution. The lecturer then drew attention to diagrams illustra tive of the process of paper manufacture II (representinga the machinery of Mr. T. H. Saunders, Dartford), with view to show what science, labour, and capital must be expended in the production of bank-note paper ; and in conclusion, while deprecating censure upon what some might deem his boldness in coming forward upon such a subject, said he could appeal to the evidence of many eminent men who had lived before him, and whose opi nions were corroborative of his own. Mr. 11, Bradbury, upon concluding, was greeted with loud applause. In' the course of his lecture he mentioned that the designs for his illustrations were furnished by 111 r John Leigh ton, and the photographs on glass by Mr. Hennah, of Brighton. s I was asked for a de ..__., t t., 1 east doubt now t h at the pri soner no whisk er s, or very littie: I told Mr. MA:diens I c , attest ripti , n When ofthe I m went an.

We let the drawing room off about the 18th or 11. 1 th of February to a Mr. Hammond. He was two mornings with us. I saw him the fi rs t morning. He asked me to give him a pen and ink. I let the apartment to hon. I only saw him when I let the apartment, and the next morning, but I only saw his back when he went away the following morning. I think I should know him again. I saw a man at Marlborough-street Police office very like him. The prisoner is so like the man that if I had met him on the street I should say he was the man, but he is not quite so stout as he then was. The prisueer is very like the man, but he is differently dressed. I believe the prisoner is the man. him and the prisoner, who, being cautioned that any thing he said would be given in evidence, said that his having been to the house with the woman was no proof that he afterwards broke into it, and, in fact, he could prove that he wa: laid up ill the day it was done. But, he added, be should he able to go with the sergeant in a few days, and should then hb able to find the other parties, a❑d he dared to hay that they would kill him for it hereafter. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Hay 12. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCa. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Lord Campbell and Common Juries.) . MATTHEWS V. SMITH—DRURY-LINE THEATRE. Henry Brown, the police-constable, who had been left in charge of Fleckart, said that on Sunday he took hiin in a cab to the police-station, at Kingsland. On the way, he asked how Mrs, Humphreys was, and said that if she died it would make the matter worse for them. He then asked if any of the others were likely to be taken, and being told that in all probability they would, he said, "I hope to God they will, and that will make it lighter for me." _ _ This was an action fur goods sold and delivered, and work and labour done. The defendant pleaded never indebted, and also a set off. Mr. Watson and Mr. Denman conducted the case on the part of the plaintiff, and Mr. E. James and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the defendant. Mr. Watso❑ said the plaintiff was the executor of John White Moore, who died in October, 1854, and who formerly carried on the business of a printseller at 1 and 2, West-street, St. Martin's-lane ; and the action was brought to recover 201. 19s. 6d. for frames supplied by him to the defendant, Mr. Edward Tyrrell Smith, who was originally an auctioneer, but now lessee of Drury lane Theatre. It appeared that some intimacy existed between Moore and Smith, and that the amount in question was for frames which Moore had made for some pictures which he had given to Smith as a present. The defendant now denied his liability to some of the items, and pleaded a set off in respect of an advertisement of Moore's shop, which had been introduced into a panto mime. Joseph Gearing, foreman of the deceased Moore, proved the delivery of the articles. Mr. E. James said the defendant admitted his liability t.o the charges in the bill, with the exception of one for 1/. 10s. and another for Bs., in regard to a frame which had been made for certain drawings representing Mr. G. V. Brooke in various characters. These items, he con tended, ought to have been placed to the account of Mr. Brooke, Mr. Matthews said he was the executor of Moore, and the plaintiff in the present action. Four mouths after Moore's decease, about Jan., 1855, saw the defendant on the stage, and asked him to pay the deceased's ac count. He said he would look over it, and send a cheque for the money. Saw him again in the theatre three months afterwards, and ha said he had not then inquired into the matter, but he would see that the claim was settled. He requested witness to call again; but he never did, but instructed his solicitor to make an application' for the money. Smith never told witness that the estate of Moore was indebted to him in anything. Mr. Thomas, clerk to the plaintiffa attorney, said he went several times in company with the testator Moore to the theatre, in 1854, On one occasion, in August, they saw the defendant. Moore asked him for payment ; he said he could not give a cheque then, but he wanted something more done, and he would pay for all together. In January, 1855, a circular was sent round to all the debtors to the estate, but no reply was received from the defendant. Another letter was written to him in January in the following year, and the defendant replied that, on making the proper deductions, he found the estate was indebted to him in the sum of 6d. Mr. Rush, solicitor of Austin-friars, was present, and proved that, when the fictitious message was taken to the prosecutrix, representing him to have been seized with fits at Salisbury, ho was in London quite well. The prisoners were, after some further proceedings, remanded for a week. Cross-examined----There has been a discussion about the business. I was more confident than my sister was as to his identity. After a very long cross•examination of this witness, the prisoner, upon being asked in the usual terms whe ther he wished to say anything, said, "I know nothing about it, so help me God." He was then committed for trial. SOUTawARK.—SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. —Mr. Thomas Gooding, a well-dressed, and respectable-looking person, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett charged with stealing two cheeses, alleged to b, the property of Ebenezer Price and a roan named Hertz -11, styling themselves as provision merchants, Victoria. Dock road, near Barking. Mr. Solomon, of the Borough, appeared for the ac cused. GUILDHALL, John Smith, a militiaman, was charged with being concerned in a garrotte robbery in Golden-lane. George Gough, a steward on board the Argand, said he was going past Golden-lane about 12 o'clock last night, when he saw the prisoner and two females talking together. They wanted something to drink from the public-house at the Corner and so did witness, but the man would not admit any of them. One of the women said, "I know where to get something to drink," and they all walkiKl up Golden-lane. The observation ap peared to be partly addressed to himself, so he followed them, and when he got into a court leading out of _Golden lane the prisoner turned back and pnt his arm round witness's neck so as to throttle him. The women almost instantly drew his gold ring from his finger, and his money from his pockets, and they then made the►r escape. When he recovered he communicated with the police, and two of them took him into some houses in Golden-lane, in one of which he identified the prisoner in a room out of 15 men. He had been drinking, bet knew perfectly well what he was about. .Police-constable 118 apprehended the prisoner, and Stated that the prosecutor unhesitatingly picked him out from among a number of men that were in the room at the time he took him. The prosecutor ha I been intoxi cated in the early part of the evening, but he was so bered by the time witness saw him. Mr. Price oL.ated that be had known the prisoner a short time in business, and on Saturday afternoon, shortly after four o'clock, witness. was with Mr. fiertzell in Tooley•etreet, where they met him, and he was re quested by them to go into the warehouse of M►•. Chaffey and fetch two chess Ei for them while they waited out side. The prisoner, accordingly, went into the ware house for that purpose, but instead of bringing the cheeses to them he left by another door, and decamped with them. Witness afterwards commun►cated with the poliee, and the prisoner was apprehended at his house in the torriEin rc-roa Walwortb, where the cheeses were found. In cross-examination by Mr. Solomon, witness said that he was legally in partnership with Mr. Ilertz,ll, and they bought and sold provi , ions, and dealt with Mr. Chaff-y, with whom they kept a running account. They were not photographic artists, althon e ,Yh his partner had a machine for that purpose. Mr. Solomon here put in a bill for two cheeses sold to the priaoner on Saturday by Hertzell, whey he asked the witness whether he knew the handwriting to be his partner's Witness said he did not think it was in his handwrit ing. Fie knew nothing about it, and never saw it before. Mr. Henze!l told the prisoner to fetch the cheeses, but he meant him to bring them to witness. Mr, Solomon asked him whether he had not seen the prisoner at the station-house, and promised him that he would not press the charge if he guaranteed that no ac tion should be br3ught against him? Witness replied that he did say something about hav ing the cheeses given up and he would not press the charge, but he said nothing about an action. He had now altered his mind and intended to prosecute, but at present he could not proceed any further in the absence of his partner. He, therefore, asked for a remand until a future day. Several officers identified the prisoner as being an associate with thieves, and Sir Peter Laurie remanded him for further inquiry. WESTMINSTER.—AN INH max MOTHER—JuIia White, a dirty, dissipated-looking woman, who had an interesting little child, five years of age, by the hand, was charged with the following inhuman treatment of it : Cress-examined—Saw Smith in his private room. It was sometime in August. He offered them orders for the performance. Moore accepted them, but he did not The orders were for that or some following evening. Mr. E. James then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. He observed that this action would never have been brought if Moore had been alive, because there was an understanding between them that Moore should pay 201. for an advertisement of his shap in one of the scenes of the pantomime. A scene of his shop was painted, with the headin g , " Moore's Racing Sweeps, St. Martin's-lane." The Harlequin jumped through a window, bearing the inscription, "Latest Betting upon the Races," and then a flap dropped down, with the word -1, " In for the Derby." (Laughter.) The Clown next attemnted to perform the same feat, but he was re pulsed, and then another flap came down with this in timation, " Oat for the Oaks." This scene and the mechanical contrivances were prepared for the defendant at considerable expense. Similar advertisements were prepared fur Dakin, No. 1, St. Paul's Churchyard ; Purssell, the confectioner, in Cornhiil ; Bennett, the watchmaker, in Cleeapside ; Samuel, the tailor, in Lud gate-bill ; and for Scott's oyster shop, at the top of the Haymarket ; and the charge for each of these scenes was from 20 to 30 guineas. The defendant would posi tively deny that such an interview took place between him and Moore, in August, at the theatre, as was de posed to by Thomas. The theatre was then closed, and the statement as to the defendant offering them orders for the performances was totally incorrect. Mr. E. T. Smith, the defendant, was then called. He said it was customary in pantomimes to exhibit scenes as advertisements fur different shops, and there was always a specific bargain between the shopkeeper and the manager of the theatre as to the sum which should be charged. Mr. Nicholson waited upon him when he was preparing the pantomime, at the latter end of 1853, to know if he would have any objection to introduce a scene of Mr. Moore's shop? Mr. Watson- 4 must object to what passed between you and Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Smith then explained that he afterwards saw Moore, who wished him to introduce a description of his shop. He told Moore his charge would be 25 gui neas. Moore said he would give him 201., and be ac cepted that Burn ; but he told Moire that he would n©t require the money, but that he would take it out in frames for the engravings which he bad presented to him. He accordingly introduced the scene required, and it was exhibited on the stage as long as the pantomime lasted—about ten weeks. Mr. ix. V. Brooke had been George Bradford, a labouring man, said that on Saturday afternoon, about half-past five, he was going down Great Peter-street, Westminster, when he saw the defendant beating the little girl she now had by her side in the most unmerciful manner. He remonstrated with her, but it was unavailing, and she continued her bru tality to the child. On his feeling it his duty again to interfere she attacked hini, struck him twica, and tore his coat, but he male no charge against her for anything, she had done to him. Mr. Solo Mon contended that there was no pretence for the charge, and it was very hard that his client, a respectable man, should be locked up as a felon. Mr. A'Beckett said that Mr. Price had sworn that he should be able to produce further evidence or, a future day ; therefore he must remand him until Wednesday, but ho would accept bail for his appearance. Bail was shortly afterwards put in, and the prisoner was liberated from custody. THE ASSAULT ON CHILDREN BY THE SHAM SURGEON. —ln the course of the ray Mr. Solomon entered the court, and handed t o M r . Ed w i n , t h e ch i e f clerk, a banker's cheque for 1,0001., being the amount of sureties entered into for the appearance of William. _Hobson Aubert, who stands charged with committing indecent assaults on children, by pretending that he was surgeon to an orphan asylum, and about to recommend them f,r admission. Ile having absconded since he was bailed out, his own recognisance in the sum of 5001., and two sureties for 2501. each, became forfeited to the Crown. Mr. Paynter inquired the particular nature of the ill usage to the child. Witness replied that she repeatedly struck it with her clenched fists, and when she had knocked it down kicked it. She also used very disgusting language towards it. William Ashley, 281 A, said that he was on duty in Great Peter-street, when the previous witness called ❑pon him to protect the child from further violence, and he took the defendant, who was drunk, into cus tody. She was very violent to the child in his presence. Mr. Paynter inquired whether the child had sustained any serious injury ? Mr. Simmonds, an inspector of the B division, replied that the poor little thing fortunately had not. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said she was very sorry, but she was so drank that she did not know what hail occurred. THAMES.—MURDEROUS ASSAULT.— Dennis Ca vanagh, a big Irishman, who has been frequently in custody for drueken and disorderly conduct and assaults, was brought before Mr. 'Yardley, on remand, charged with cutting and woun ling his wife, with intent to murder her, or do grievous bodily harm. The prisoner, who was described as an iron plata worker, residieg at No. 28, St. Anne-street, Linaehouse, was intoxicated on the night of Saturday, the 3d inst., and commenced threatening and beating his wife, who ran away from him, and sought refuge in the house 4f oer married daughter, Catherine Terrier, of No 1, East-row, Limehouse. The prisoner went to his laughter's house after his wife, and, in consequence of his violent aid threatening demeanour, the door was &wed against him. He knocked, and was refused admis. sion, and after in vain attempting to force open the door, liethrew up the parlour window,anl was about to enter th, iioue, armed with a clasp-knife, when his wife made an attempt to push him back. He used the most inftmou3 language and threats towards her, and plunged the knife in her side between the two lower ribs, inflicting a eeri ois wound, and then cut her across the bosom. The woman attempted to take the knife from him, and he cut her across two fingers, and nearly divided the thumb from the hand. Tne poor woman foil backwards on the fl por weltering in her blood, arid her brutal husband ran away. A policeman canned Daniel Sutherland, No. 421 K, caused the woman to be conveyed to a chemist's sh p opposite the house where the affray occurred, and the prisoner was taken into custody immediately after wards by Sutherland, who toll him his wife was badly ,vounded, but he appeared quite uneuecerned about it. Mr. Yard ey asked when it was likely the woman would be sufficiently recovered to attend the court and give evidence ? Mr. Simmonds, in reply to a question from the magis trate, said that the defendant had repeatedly been at that court for drunkenness. The child had been taken care ~f i❑ the workhouse since Saturday night, which ac counted for its neat and cleanly appearance. Mr. Paynter animadverted in becoming terms upon defendant's disgraceful conduct, and called upon her to find sureties for her future good behaviour. In default i-he was committed to gaol, and the little girl, who is fatherless, was sent to the workhouse. WORSHIP-STREET.—EXTRAORDINAJSYY CASE OF BURGLARY.— A. young fellow neaned edwavd Towers, en unemployed groom, was brought up for examination be fore Mr. D'Eyncourt ; and William Fleckart, describing himself as an engineer, was now placed at the bar wit , , him, charged with having b een co n c e rne d, w ith o th er s, in breaking into the house of Mrs. Isabella Humphrey,, an aged widow lady of property, at Samford-bill, and plunde ing it of 1221. in cold and ailver,and two Si. notes, besides a considerable quantity of plate, a gold watch, jewellery, and other articles. Hy Hor weed, brother-in-law of the prisoner Tow -rs, and gary Ann Perkins, a dressmaker, cennect-d with Fleckart, were also ch, r fed at the first examination, hut afterwards discharged tor want of sufficient proof. Tle man Fleckart has been upwards of a week in custody under police surveillance, being too ill to tie removed until yesterday, and was still in a very feeble state, with a consumptive look. Mr. Lewis attended as solicitor for the prosecution. The facts, as already proved, were briefly these:— About two months s:nce a man and a woman called at the house of the prosecutrix, with an urgent request fur her to immediately visit Mrs. Rush, of Austin-friars, whose husband, a legal friend who had the management of the old lady's affairs, was said to have taken suddenly ill at Salisbury ; but the prosecutrix herself was then so un well that neither she nor her servant could go, and sub sequently a letter was brought, purporting to be from Mrs. Rush, requesting the servant to be sent. Tee pro. secutrix, however, then rode herself to Austin-friars, and discovered that the message and the letter were fictitious, and that nothing whatever had happened to the gentle man, who was perfectly we 1. Fortunately the servant, who had remained at home, had her father to stop in the house with her during the absence of her mistress, and the de predation, which had no doubt been planned, was for the time frustrated ; but early in the morning of the 25th ult. the house was entered by breaking through a wall to the kitchen, and the robbers, who used very serious violence towards the prosecutrix and her servant, carried off the large amount of property above mentioned. Upon investigation, it appeared that a sister of the pri soner Towers had formerly been in the service of the prosecutrix, and afterwards married to Norwood—cir cumstances which led to the apprehension of those three, and of Fleckart and Mary Ann Perkins. The servant of the prosecutrix believed Perkins to be the woman eh° first came with the fictitious message, but could not positively swear to her identity, as her features were imperfectly seen through a veil. Perkins and Horwood were therefore liberated, Sergeant Langdon, of the N division, stated that he firm apprehended the prisoner Fleckart at his residence in Paris-street, Palace-road, but found him too ill to be removed, and left a constable in charge of him. He afterwards took Towers, who, when told the nature 01 the charge, denied at first all knowledge of it, but after wards said that lie could tell a little about it, and pro ceeded to state that his sister had talked to F•eckart and Perkins about what a good old lady Mrs. Humphreys was, and how rich she was, and they agreed to meet Towers and his brother-in-law, Horwood, and go to the old lady's house to take what she possessed. That was five or six weeks before his apprehension, he said, and they all went accordingly to Stamford hill, where Towers and his brother waited outside while Perkins and Fleck art went to the house, from which, however, they in a short time returned, saying that they could net do the job. They then separated, and Towers declared that neither be nor Horwood had anything to do with the subsequent burglary and robbery. Eliza Cook, a remarkably pretty and respectable-loek ing young person, who had been two years in the ser vice of the prosecutrix. now identified the pris mer Fleckart as the man who called he the first instance with the female with the fictitious message and letter purport ing to be from Mrs. Rush. The prosecutrix was un well at the time, and entered the room to speak to them, leaning upon the arm of the Witness, and the wo eau wished the witness to go with her and Fleckart, but she declined to leave her mistress, who was thee so ill, and said that either of her brothers would go if her mistress desired it. She remarked that the man appeared to he ill, and in fast he asked for and was going to drink som e water, and witness seeing him so ill advised hen t,s take a little spirit in it, and was about to pour out a little but be declined it. While there he entered the yard where the wall was that was afterwards broken through to the kitchen. The evidence given by the witness, and now again read over, as to the burglary, was to the fol. lnving effect :—About half-past 9in the evening, after having secured all the fastenings about the house, she went to bed in the sane room as her mistress, who awoke her about daybreak, and sitting up in bed to listen, she heard a noise, but hearing nothing more she lay down again till G o'clock, when she went down stairs, and found qne of the parlour doors ajar, and two men then rushed upon her, and knocked her down by a blow on the head. When she recovered, she found one of them kneeling by her side, with a knife in his hand, and a chopper and piece of wood near him on the ground. She screamed at the sight, but he in athreatening way asked her to be quiet, and she promised that she would if he did not ill use her. He and another then took her by the hands and feet dawn to the kitchen, where they placed her on a chair. They then asked her where the was kept, and upon her answer i ng plate and money evasively, the one with the knife put it to her threat and said he would cut her throat unless she told, and she then said that all she e knew of was in the parlour. They then got posse , sion of the property, and left her bound hand and foot in a chair, but some time after their de parture she contrived, with her teeth, to untie her hands, and at length to free herself, and running up to the bed-room found her mistress tied to the bed, so ng nearly to double her up, and with a handkerchief round her mouth. She was almost suffocated, and nearly dead, and the witness was convinced that she could not have lived five minutes longer in that state, and she was now very ill. The witness said that she saw four men alto gether in the house, but neither of the prisoners. Sergeant Langdon nowstated that haviugleft Fleckart ill in bed, as already mentioned, he subsequently visited engaged by him prior to that time. The tragedianle eeived no salary, as the arrangement was that they should divide between them the whole expenses of the house, and then go share and share alike in the pro fits. After they had settled the account for which they were jo►ntly liable, Moore sent in a bill to him (itnith) for 201. 19s. Saw Moore o❑ the subject of that bill, and told him that it contained two items which ought to have been charged to Brooks. Moore then ran his pan through them, and it was agreed that they should settle the account for the pantomime scene when the frames were all finished. In the presence of Mr. Moore he then wrote upon the bill, "20 guineas to he deducted for the pantomime." The bill was now in the same dtato as when it was delivered to leis solicitor. He was in the habit of sexing Moore two or three times during the week. He never made any demand upon him (iinith) during his lifetime. In Aug., 1854, the theatre was not open. He had nothing to do vith it at that time. Moore, accompanied by Thomas, did not come to him at the theatre and ask for a cheque, oor did he give any orders for the performance to Moore in the presence of Tk►omas. Sutherland replied that the prisoner's wife was in a very low state, and she would not be able to attend until Monday next. _ _ Mr Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week, and directed the police-constable to summon the surgeon, who was in attendance on the wounded person, to ap pear on Monday next, when he hoped the woman would be sufficiently recovered to attend. Mr. Giles, a t•urzeon in Poplar, who bas been in attendance o❑ the patient, Mrs. Cavanagh, subsequently waited on the magistrate, and said her recovery was retard° 1 for want of nutritious food and other neces saries required for a person in her situation. The wounds ware of a very serious nature, and he had just left the woman pulse!ess. Ile had attended to the case gratui tously, and be thought it right to let the magistrate know the real clndition of the patient, whose daughter was unable • inaittain her. On erogß-examination he stated that be bad been le.. see of Drury-lane since 1852. He was formerly a sheriffs auctioneer. 'Was also proprietor of the Sunday Times. Mr. Joseph Lewis said he had been treasurer of the theatre since 1353. The charge for DAkin's advertise ment was 20 guineas, for Purssell's 20, and for Bennett's 25 guineas. The advertisement of Messrs. Samuel con sisted of the 17s. 6d. trousers. The trousers walked across the stage. (Laughter.) • The scene in Scott's .Idvertisernent was a shell-fish shop ; the Clown was supposed to run away with some lobsters. Moore's cons st ad of racing " tips " and sweeps, and also of his print shop. It occupied the whole of a pair of flats. Mr. E. James —The les: you say about flats in con nect:on with betting shops the better. (Laughter.) Witness—The work was one of very great merit, and well worth 20 guineas. Mr. E. James then replied. Mr. Watsrm having replied on the whole case, Lord Campbell summed up, and The jury, after an abeence of a quarter of an hour, re turned into court with a verdict for the defendant, Mr. Yardley placel a suvereign from the poor-box fund at the disposal of Mr. Gile., and requestel him to expend it for the benefit of the unfortunate woman in any way he thought proper. THE SUN; 1461 4 .11?0 1 , T ru-saiva---7 . x EVENING- 5 MAY 13. 1856. POLICE IL B LLIGENCO.—May 12. MANSION-HOUSE.—John Markham was charged with foraery. Mr. Mullens appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Lewis for the defence. Mr. C. F. Ash, of Nos. 20 and 21, Upper Thames street, iron merchant, said—Nly premis-s were broken into in the bsginniog of February, and, amongst other things taken, there were two cheques fit money—one on the Bank of Englaed and the ether on the Royal British Bank, and two or three blank cheques were ab stracted from my cheque-book upon Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith. The cheque produced, No. 15,430 for 91/ , bears the same number as the other cheques in the book. It purports to be drawn by myself, but was not signed by me or by my authority. I believe it to be one of these which were torn from my book. Jas. Humphries, a person out of employment, said— On the 18th of Feb. last I advertised for a situation in the Times, and bad two replies ; and, in answer to one, I went to No. 6, Oekley-crsseent, City road, to inspire for a Mr. Hammond. I saw the prisoner, who said be wag Mr. Hammond, and I told him who I was, and he offered to employ me to collect bills tot Lim and drive a horse and chaise. We then spoke about the wages, and be said his house was in Oxford, but he had business to do in London and in Oxford. At his request I called next day, and he then asked me to ge to the railway at Euston-square. I went there, and on my return be gave me the cheque produced, upon Smith, Payne, and Smith, and asked me to got it changed for him. I was to brine some notes and some gold, and I was to take the money back to the house in Oakley -crescent. I accordingly went to the banking-house and presented the cheque, but it was not paid. I subsequently went with Mr. Mullens, the solicitor to the bankers, to his office. In April last I saw the prisoner in the House of Detention in Clerkenwell, and recognised him, amongst several other persons, as the man who had employed me to get the cheque changed. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was asked to go to the House of Detention by Mr. Mullene, and was told that a man like the person I had described was in custody. I went round the cells with the officer, and when I came to the cell in which the prisoner was, I said I did not think there was any one there I could identify, but the man I had last seen was something like him who had employed me. I saw about 20 cells or more. The officer said "You've passed him ;" and then it was that I said the last man I had seen was something like him, and said if I was compelled to swear to that man, I would not say it was hint. I would say there was none there I recognised. When I left the prison I told the officer that there was but one man that I thought was anything like him. We both left under the impression that I bad not seen the man. I next saw the prisoner at Marlborough• street, and I went there to see him again. I was told by Mr. Mullens he was to be there. I only said as I was going to leave that that was the roan. I said so to Mr. Mullens's clerk. Directly he was brought I recognised bin; and said he was the man. He is now dressed as he was in the House of Detention and at Marlborough. --- Sporting Intelligence. TATTERSALZ'S YESTERDAY. Paying and receiving on the Chester events occupied nearly the whole afternoon, and the business appeared to make satisfactory progress. Spemlation on the Derby was very limited, and the only incidents of importance were the return of Fly-by-a Night into favour, and the advancement of Coroner; at the commencement of the betting the former was backed at 12 to 1, at which price he had been well supported in the city ; towards the close, however, 100 to 7 was laid against him. The Coroner opened at 20 to 1 taken, but the closing quotation was 22 to 1 offered, 25 to 1 taken —the latter odds, however, were not betted "kindly." 1,000 to 10 was taken freely about Sir 'Patton.
